The Three Saints of the Lion King Agency Are Coming to Visit

"And what is your role Sayaka Kirasaka, in getting involved in this? As a close friend? Well, I'm sorry, you're not qualified."

Sayaka Kirasaka's face flushed red and then turned pale after hearing his words.

Even if she disagreed, she couldn't find a reason to refute it, because what the other party said was right: the Lion King Agency deliberately sent Yukina to this scumbag's side.

Even though she had strongly objected, it was to no avail; instead, she was punished.

"Then comes the third, and most crucial point."

As he spoke, he suddenly moved closer to Sayaka Kirasaka, Sayaka Kirasaka immediately blushed and took a half step back.

"What... what are you going to do?"

"Thirdly, I am not from this world; I am a world traveler. And if we're talking about women, there are plenty more."

Yotsuba Mahiro these words in the girl's ear.

I don't know if it's the influence of coming into this world, or a kind of carefree and enjoyable attitude cultivated from traveling to many worlds.

He's now like an absolute villain, almost oblivious to everything except enjoying the world and the plot.

I almost transformed into Happy Superman and I Don't Eat Beef.

Upon hearing his words, Sayaka Kirasaka's previously rosy cheeks instantly turned pale, and her pupils were filled with confusion.

"You're saying you're not from this world...?"

"Hmm, so don't try to bind me with your world's moral standards... Oh, wait, your world's moral standards aren't exactly lofty either. Using your own family to gain personal benefits is just laughable."

Jou Akatsuki is like that, and so is Kanase Kensei.

Everyone spouts lofty reasons and uses words that sound good to their loved ones while doing the cruelest things.

One person used his own daughter as a medium to contact the Fourth Progenitor.

The other one was even more outrageous, taking away his sister's only remaining bloodline and transforming her into an angel, ostensibly to help her escape this filthy world.

It's absolutely disgusting.

In comparison, Lionelle Matchmaking Agency is like a total philanthropist.

At the very least, they genuinely strive to maintain world peace and uphold the Sanctuary Treaty.

Whether they are truly capable or not depends entirely on the contrast provided by their competitors.

After he finished speaking, Sayaka Kirasaka shakily released his sleeve, her bangs falling to cover her face, making it impossible to see her expression.

But judging from her shrugging shoulders, the girl must be crying.

However, Mahiro didn't offer any words of comfort; their relationship wasn't that close.

So he waved his hand and said:

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Sayaka Kirasaka remained silent, sobbing softly, until Yotsuba Mahiro left, at which point her body collapsed onto the steps.

"Yukina, how can I save you..."

Her voice, choked with sobs, echoed quietly in the stairwell.

However, the next second, Mahiro's voice came again.

"I'm not entirely sure how to save her, but if you think Yukina won't have a good time, why don't you join us?"

"Since we can't beat them in a fight or argue with them, we might as well join them."

Sayaka Kirasaka looked up in surprise, her eyes blurry with tears, and saw Yotsuba Mahiro standing in front of her once again.

However, what the other party said...

"Get out of here! Who wants to be with you, to be part of your harem?!" Sayaka Kirasaka shouted angrily, her face flushed red.

"Tch, if you're not going to come, then don't come. Why are you yelling so loudly?"

Mahiro muttered something under his breath and left.

This time, he really left.

Upon reaching the lower level, he discovered that someone else was waiting for him.

"Wait, are you guys level bosses? Why are you coming one by one?"

The one blocking his way was none other than Alpha, whose blond hair swayed in the breeze.

She didn't quite understand what Mahiro was saying.

However, Mahiro discovers that Alpha isn't the only one waiting there; Aye is also lurking in the shadows.

A pair of bright, scarlet eyes looked particularly eerie in the dim light.

"Why are you here too?" Mahiro asked.

Aye slowly emerged from the corner, carrying an ancient book covered in a black leather case.

Even without using the Alpha Stigma to analyze it, you'd know what that thing is.

"The grimoire is finished?"

"Not yet."

Aye shook his head.

"But it will be soon, in just two more days."

"Yeah."

After speaking, Mahiro's gaze fell on Alpha again, her eyes lingering between the two of them.

"So, why did you all come to the school in a group to find me?"

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance, nodded slightly, and then Alpha spoke:

"Someone broke into Kanase Kensei's apartment, forcibly opened the safe, and took away the Alchemical Core inside."

"???"

Mahiro was momentarily stunned by what he heard.

After thinking for a moment, I remembered.

"Oh, you mean the Alchemical Core of the Spirit Blood, right?"

"Um."

Alpha nodded and continued, "We've found out who took the Alchemical Core. It's a man who appears to be a magician. He's wearing a pure white cloak, and his shirt and hat are red and white checkered. In his left hand, he's holding a silver cane with skull carvings."

Its name is Mercury Amatsuka.

Zeta is currently tracking it.

"Oh ho."

As expected, he did come.

Mercury Amatsuka was a disciple of the legendary alchemist Nina Adilard, but was expelled from the school for attempting to resurrect the sage.

However, he had already gone astray, and his craving for spiritual blood never ceased.

Even its flesh and blood were transformed into the spiritual blood of a sage, making it a completely non-human creature.

Even his soul no longer belonged to Mercury Amatsuka, and he had long since become the sage's puppet, yet he still foolishly believed that everything he had done was right.

However, now that this guy is here, it means the storyline involving the Spirit Blood has also been arranged.

"What should we do next?" Alpha asked.

But Mahiro's answer took Alpha and Aye somewhat by surprise.

"You don't need to do anything. Just bring Zeta back, and while you're at it, send a few people to protect Kanon Kanase, Asagi, and that little princess."

Speaking of which, the mediums in this world are like power banks.

Almost every event requires the support of a medium, especially top-tier mediums like those from the Ardigia royal family.

Upon hearing this, Alpha neither asked any questions nor offered any rebuttal.

There was no need for that; she was well aware of Yotsuba Mahiro's abilities, and all she needed to do was follow Mahiro's instructions.

Aye, however, frowned slightly and asked:

"Is this arrangement really alright? You've personally faced the berserk, mindless spirit blood; you should understand its terror. I feel we can't allow such a dangerous entity to exist outside."

It's truly unimaginable that Aye would one day say something like, "We can't let danger linger outside."

If Natsuki -chan heard this, she'd be incredibly moved, wouldn't she?

Why do you look at me like that? Did I say something wrong?

No, no.

Mahiro smiled and waved his hand, then said nonchalantly:

"It's alright. It's actually easier to deal with those kinds of rats if they're out in the open. At least the rat is in the open while we're in the shadows, so we can keep an eye on it. Aye, you should know that if we can't kill these rats in one shot, they'll cause even more trouble."

Most importantly, he really needs that idiot Mercury Amatsuka to release his spiritual blood.

This would free Nina Adilard.

That figurine, the size of an eye and 270 years old, was quite useful to him, for example, to allow him to study the so-called Sage's Blood in greater detail.

Hearing him say that, Aye didn't refute it. She knew Yotsuba Mahiro's personality very well; he must be plotting something again.

"So when will we begin implementing that plan?"

"If we're going to do it, let's wait two days. Your work should be finished by then."

Just as Aye was about to agree, a clear, cold, and authoritative voice quietly rang out.

"What plan? What will be accomplished? What will be implemented?"

It's Natsuki Minamiya.

She was still as petite as ever, but standing high up on the stairwell, she was still wearing a black gothic dress, opaque black pantyhose, and a three-piece set of high heels.

However, his brows and eyes revealed a solemnity and authority.

"What are you all researching behind my back again?" Natsuki Minamiya asked seriously.

Before Aye and Alpha could speak, Mahiro stepped forward and said with a grin:

"It's nothing, it's just that the Shadow Garden discovered that the Alchemical Core in Kanase Kensei's apartment is missing. It was stolen by an outsider from Itogami Island named Mercury Amatsuka, a former apprentice of the great alchemist Nina Adilard."

The term "disciple" caused the women present to pause in surprise for a moment; they never expected Yotsuba Mahiro to come up with such a title.

But what he said isn't wrong.

Calling disciples who have been expelled from their sect "disciples who have left the sect" seems perfectly acceptable.

That Natsuki was also suppressing a laugh, but still asked with a serious expression:

"How did you know about this? And you even found out the criminal's identity?"

To this, Mahiro shrugged, feigning nonchalance.

"Of course! Who do you think I am? Is there anything in this world I don't know?"

"Really?"

Natsuki Minamiya's tone was somewhat suspicious, so she asked, "Since you know so much, could you tell me what kind of being Cain really is? And what about the Miko of the Wicked God Itogami Island?"

Yotsuba Mahiro: "..."

He really had nothing more to say.

Do you realize you're going to kill the conversation like that, my friend?!

He wasn't really familiar with Cain.

He didn't even learn his name until after he came into this world.

As for the Itogami Island altar and the vengeful spirit priestess, let's not even go there!

The original novel didn't even cover the later parts!

This is putting me, Hu Hansan, in a difficult position!

Seeing him get his comeuppance, Natsuki Minamiya felt a rare sense of relief.
