If You Do a Sichuan Opera Face-Changing Act, I'll Beat You to Death

Sayaka Kirasaka sniffled, but still didn't forget to glare fiercely at Yotsuba Mahiro.

"Really? That's a real shame."

Mahiro expressed his regret, but his wicked smile remained unchanged.

The reason for targeting Sayaka Kirasaka is simple: I just find her very interesting.

Due to her childhood experiences, Sayaka Kirasaka suffers from severe mysophobia and androphobia, which has also led to her becoming a pseudo-lesbian.

Although the burden has lessened considerably now, Mahiro still can't help but feel a great deal of interest when facing a particular person.

Not to mention that Sayaka Kirasaka repeatedly spoke rudely to him.

If circumstances allowed, he also wanted to give Sayaka Kirasaka a big hug.

For someone who suffers from androphobia, such a hug must have been incredibly stimulating, right?

Seeing Yotsuba Mahiro and Sayaka Kirasaka so hostile to each other, Yukina couldn't help but cover her eyes, shaking her head helplessly to change the subject:

"By the way Sayaka Kirasaka, how did you end up on Duke Ardeal's cruise ship? You used to be in the Foreign Affairs Division, in charge of multinational magical crimes, right?"

It wasn't just to change the subject; Yukina herself was also very curious about Sayaka Kirasaka's presence there.

Logically speaking, it would already be an exception for someone to act as a messenger during the day.

Sayaka Kirasaka shouldn't be at a banquet like this, especially considering Sayaka Kirasaka's dressed up so carefully.

Not only did she wear light makeup, but she also wore a beautiful evening gown just like her.

"I'm on a mission right now."

Sayaka Kirasaka, now appeased, spoke softly and gently, a stark contrast to her previous rudeness.

"A mission?" Yukina asked in surprise.

"Just like you, Yukina. I took on a job monitoring vampires, specifically Duke Ardeal. My mission is to keep the citizens of Itogami City out of danger."

After listening to Sayaka Kirasaka's casual explanation, Yukina finally understood the situation.

Just as Yukina came to Itogami Island to monitor Yotsuba Mahiro, Sayaka Kirasaka was also ordered to monitor Vatler and boarded this ship.

In order to eliminate Vatler if he causes harm.

"Well, I'm curious, since you were supposed to be monitoring that snake charmer, why didn't you properly carry out your surveillance mission and instead launched that prank-like attack on me during the day? Did you think the world wasn't chaotic enough and needed me to stir things up?"

Or are you trying to use me to get rid of that Vatler guy?

Or perhaps they want to use me to kill the First True Ancestor behind Vatler, the Lost Warlord?

As soon as he finished speaking, Mahiro squatted down in front of Sayaka Kirasaka, calmly and amusedly bringing up the old story again.

However, his words caused everyone present to gasp in shock, and many people quickly moved away, pretending they hadn't heard anything.

Even Yukina was filled with surprise.

She looked at Sayaka Kirasaka and Yotsuba Mahiro in astonishment.

She had always thought that Sayaka Kirasaka and Yotsuba Clan's conflict during the day was due to some misunderstanding, and she even wanted to apologize to Sayaka Kirasaka on the Yotsuba Clan's behalf.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that Sayaka Kirasaka had done it on purpose!

However, upon being suddenly accused of such a serious crime, Sayaka Kirasaka turned pale and stammered, unsure how to explain herself.

But he still stubbornly insisted:

"Hmph, shouldn't a perverted scum like you be punished by everyone?"

"Sayaka Kirasaka!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yukina interrupted her best friend, then, with a slightly stern expression, lectured her:

"Sayaka Kirasaka, don't cause trouble for others. Who will be held responsible if a major disaster occurs?"

Sayaka Kirasaka, knowing she was in the wrong, replied weakly in a low voice:

"He looked so smug, I was just teasing him a little... who knew he'd take it so seriously... I'm sorry, Yukina, don't be angry, I know I was wrong..."

As she spoke, Sayaka Kirasaka lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.

However, this reaction made Mahiro feel a little bored.

I thought this girl would choose to stick to her guns and remain defiant.

You gave in a little too quickly...

But just then, another voice rang out.

"That won't do, Miss Kirasaka. While I'm cooperating with your work, that doesn't mean I'm allowing you to offend my guest."

"That won't do, Miss Sayaka Kirasaka. While I'm cooperating with the Lion King Agency, that doesn't mean I'm allowing you to offend my guest."

The sound faded.

Suddenly, a path parted among the surrounding guests, and a handsome young man in a white suit walked gracefully toward them.

She has a tall and graceful figure, and does not exude an intimidating aura.

I swirled the wine in my glass, inhaling the aroma wafting from the rim.

A pair of azure eyes were fixed on them, revealing a hint of respect.

"Oh? The snake charmer, you've finally shown yourself? I thought you were going to hide throughout the entire banquet."

Mahiro helped Sayaka Kirasaka, who was slumped on the ground, to her feet, as if the argument and conflict between the two had never happened.

"Haha, it's so nice to see you again."

Upon seeing this, Vatler burst into laughter, as if meeting an old friend.

"Happy? I don't think so. I failed to kill you last time, and you managed to sneak away from the banquet. What? Are you back now to make up for it?"

Mahiro spoke calmly, but his words were full of malice.

The guests who were watching the commotion were immediately terrified when they heard this.

They knew Yotsuba Mahiro strong, but was it really alright for him to speak to an envoy from the War King's Domain in that tone?

As they had expected, Vatler immediately gave a wicked smile, and the magic within him surged forth.

"Senior!"

The first to react was Yukina.

She pulled a spear from her instrument case, intending to stand in front of Yotsuba Mahiro.

Sayaka Kirasaka also took action to cover Yukina's movements.

All of this happened almost in the blink of an eye.

Those around him wore gloating expressions, as if they had already guessed the outcome.

Surprisingly, Vatler's magic vanished instantly.

"That's not the case. This unannounced visit is simply to express my deepest apologies to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Vatler suddenly knelt down on one knee facing Yotsuba Mahiro, bowed his head deeply, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

"At the last banquet, I tested your might and offended you in many ways. I sincerely apologize for that. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Demitoriye Vatler, and I was granted the title of Duke Ardeal by the Lost Warlord of our True Ancestors."

It is truly an honor for me that you have graced me with your presence.

Countless people were utterly shocked. Only the noble True Ancestor could face him with the demeanor of Vatler.

Yukina and Sayaka Kirasaka, who had just picked up the silver spear, were both stunned and speechless upon seeing the change in Vatler's attitude.

They didn't even understand what Vatler was trying to do.

Just a second ago they were on the verge of fighting, how did things suddenly change like this?

"Alright, save those polite words for other people. I don't like them. Why don't you just tell me why you invited me here?"

"There's no ulterior motive; I simply want to invite you to this party."

"Tsk."

Upon Mahiro, Makoto clicked his tongue slightly and said without any mercy:

"That's a real shame, I don't like these boring parties."

"I apologize; this was my mistake. I hope you can forgive me."

Vatler raised his head with a smile, a smile that was both friendly and endearing. Makoto frowned slightly at the Mahiro, feeling a sudden unease.

This guy is as disgusting as ever.

"Duke Ardeal, I have a question. Why not invite the Fourth Progenitor as well?" Sayaka Kirasaka, one of the observers, suddenly asked.

She felt that the Fourth Progenitor should be the main character of this banquet, but she overlooked the distinction between important and secondary.

Upon hearing this, Yukina's expression darkened slightly.

Without waiting for a reply, he continued Sayaka Kirasaka's words, looking directly at Vatler with a serious expression:

"Tell me, what is the purpose of your visit to Itogami City? Is it to forge an improper relationship with the chosen one of the Fourth Progenitor?"

This girl's attitude remains as straightforward as ever.

But despite Yukina's accusatory remarks, Vatler maintained his smile.

"No, the main purpose was to visit Yotsuba Mahiro; the Fourth Progenitor was secondary. Besides, I had some important business to attend to on the artificial island, so I had no choice but to come here."

Yukina, exuding an aggressive aura, glared menacingly at Vatler and asked, "What is this 'serious business' you're talking about?"

However, this time, Vatler still ignored Yukina, who was acting like a cat with its fur standing on end, and looked at Yotsuba Mahiro again, saying:

"Your Yotsuba Mahiro, may I have a word with you in private?"

What he's about to say is not something that should be heard by others.

Yotsuba Mahiro guessed what this guy wanted to say, but still followed Vatler out of the banquet hall.

Enter the cabin of "Oceanus Grave II".

The cabin's interior was decorated in the most luxurious way, a world apart from the banquet hall.

The three invited guests, Yotsuba Mahiro, Yukina Himeragi, and Sayaka Kirasaka, were settled on a comfortable sofa, while Vatler sat opposite them and elegantly snapped his fingers.

Snap!

The sound became a signal, and a large number of maids filed out of the ship.

The food carts they pushed were laden with platters of dishes, so lavish and abundant that the food provided at the party venue seemed meager.

And most importantly, the maids who came pushing the food carts were all incredibly beautiful.

Not only was her clothing extremely revealing, but the sheer fabric, like a veil, draped over her body, perfectly accentuated her slender figure.

Even her appearance is in no way inferior to that of popular celebrities.

She was just as stunning as Sayaka Kirasaka and Yukina, who were also present.

"Tsk, they really know how to enjoy life."

Seeing so many beautiful women gathered here to serve him, Mahiro's tone was subtly tinged with jealousy, which made Vatler burst into laughter.

"Haha, they are my personal maid corps, all daughters of royalty and high-ranking officials from the surrounding countries of the War King's Domain, 100% virgins, very clean."

Simply put, they were hostages sent to the Night Empire to prevent rebellion, and a tool for maintaining relations with the First Night Empire through marriage.

At Vatler's signal, the girls gathered around Yotsuba Mahiro.

And even with Yukina's murderous gaze upon them, they stretched out their soft, boneless hands, roaming and kneading Yotsuba Mahiro's body.

Then he picked up the raw ham and various fruits from the plate and fed them to him.

The massage technique was absolutely superb. Even someone as experienced as him couldn't help but calm down and enjoy it for a moment.

"If Your Yotsuba Mahiro likes them, it's fine to give them to you."

The words were finished.

Yukina was already starting to feel a bit irritated because of Vatler's words.
