The Pursuer (cont.)

"The sun is too strong today, so it's not suitable to go out. But Xia Yin and I made an appointment to go next door to teach Aurora... well, let's just say Aurora. They don't seem to know much about the common sense of modern society, so we're planning to go and teach them."

After tying the ribbons on her skirt, Nagisa Akatsuki picked up a few books that were placed in the entryway.

"They're just like Aurora back then, they really need someone to take care of them, so we're off, Brother Ren."

"And Aurora is sleeping in, even though the sun is already high in the sky. But she's a vampire, so it's understandable that she sleeps so long."

Nagisa Akatsuki muttered in her usual tone.

Goodbye, brother.

After opening the door, Yase Kanon bowed to Ren and then closed the door.

After they left, Astarte and Schwanita remained in the room, carrying the silent floor scrubber.

The vampire sisters Liana and Veldiana, stood nearby like wooden stakes. When Ren looked over, Liana stepped forward and asked, "Lord Ren, what are your orders?"

"Why don't you all go and lend a hand?"

Ren waved, and then the two women said goodbye and left.

Nangong Nayue was still not in his room, and having nothing to do, he chose to go out alone.

Itogami Island remains unbearably hot today.

Even with the constant sea breeze, the temperature didn't drop much. Instead, the fishy and humid sea breeze left a sticky, smelly substance on people's skin in no time.

Fortunately, Ren had learned magic before and could regulate his body temperature; otherwise, even he would be drenched in sweat after just half a minute in the sun.

Perhaps due to the influence of warm currents and the underwater dragon veins, even in the depths of winter, the average temperature on Itogami Island remains above 20 degrees Celsius.

Therefore, in some ways, the sea breeze on Itogami Island is more severe than just hot winds.

Ren intended to try his luck on Itogami Island and see if he could find a new quest, but he soon noticed two little guys hanging far behind him.

It must be said that the other party's tracking skills were quite good.

By disguising himself as an ordinary resident of Itogami Island, rather than a tourist, and pretending to be a student out shopping during a holiday, the occasional glances he casts won't arouse too much suspicion.

Moreover, the object of their gaze was Ren.

Even in terms of appearance alone, no artificial life form can compare to him.

In just the half hour since leaving Nangong Nayue's apartment, Ren has received a lot of attention from women of different ages.

The reason Ren was able to notice that he was being followed was because he sensed the difference in the aura possessed by the two girls behind him.

If the life force of ordinary people is like a candle, then they are like a blazing torch.

He even conducted a serious experiment.

The two girls behind him moved in sync with his steps. Whenever he stopped, they would also stop and seek different cover to hide behind.

That being said, the two of them seemed to believe that Ren had not discovered them.

Ren planned to find an opportunity to tease them, so he turned into a park not far from Itogami Island General Hospital.

The blazing sunlight shines on the tranquil garden, reflecting a pleasant serenity.

Along the winding path, graceful willows grow freely, providing much-needed shade for those seeking respite from the summer heat.

In a secluded pavilion, bursts of sorrowful sobs could be heard intermittently.

A girl with long black hair was sitting on a stone bench, sobbing alone, large tears already wetting her delicate face.

Ren, who was passing by, thought the person looked familiar, so he opened the system panel.

[Character: Aiba Asagi]

[Identity: Cain's Witch]

Ren was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected to run into the most important person on Itogami Island while just wandering around.

The reason I didn't recognize her immediately was because Aiba Asagi and wore black-rimmed glasses, giving her the look of a literary girl.

As for the reason for crying, Ren also had some recollection.

In the original story, Aiba Asagi's biological mother passed away at a young age. Later, she met the protagonist in the hospital. After a series of words, the girl saw hope in life again and developed feelings for the male protagonist. She secretly loved him from the beginning to the end, and she was completely devoted to him.

It has to be said that these anime girls gain popularity very quickly.

Now that we've met, we might as well take care of this matter.

After all, Aiba Asagi is an important part of his main quest.

Without her, there's no way to activate Itogami Island's Super Transformation Form.

Thinking of this, Ren walked straight up to the girl and patted her on the shoulder from behind.

The teary-eyed girl turned around, looking confused, and then saw Ren smiling at her, "Miss, would you like to buy medicine?"

Volume Two: Chapter 305 Girl Band Group

As Aiba Asagi was grieving alone, suddenly heard such a voice and subconsciously looked up.

Although this is Itogami Island, there are quite a few drug smugglers here.

Especially now that Itogami Island Hospital has been capitalized, the only way to receive the best medical care is to "pay more money".

Therefore, smuggling emerged as a result.

Aiba Asagi, who frequents hospitals, is well aware of this.

If she were a complete novice, she might have been desperate and tried anything, but she knew her mother's condition better than anyone else.

Even though Itogami Island General Hospital boasts world-class medical technology, the hospital still issued a critical condition notice to her mother.

Currently, there is no cure for this disease; patients can only receive intravenous vitamin supplements daily to maintain the body's minimum nutritional needs.

It wouldn't be surprising if he suddenly passed away.

Even though his own mother is already in this state, these smuggled medicine scalpers still dare to deceive him.

Aiba Asagi initially wanted to lash out and call the police, but stopped herself from dialing the security number the moment she saw Ren.

Simply put, the man in front of me is just like one of those celebrities on TV.

No, she's even more eye-catching than those heavily made-up celebrities.

Didn't you hear me? Sister, wanna buy some cheats?

Ren waved his hand in front of Aiba Asagi.

The girl, who had just come to her senses, reorganized her thoughts and expression.

Although the man's appearance might give a bad impression, if he continued to pester her, Aiba Asagi wouldn't mind having the police come and arrest him.

Who would take out their amusement on a patient's family?

Is this guy really not afraid of getting beaten up?

"It's normal that you don't believe me now. After all, if it were me, there's a 50% chance that I would humanely kill anyone who dared to say that to me. But let me put it this way, I can cure your mother's illness. Of course, it won't be for free. How about a life for a life?"

Ren chuckled softly as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Aiba Asagi's face showed a look of horror.

"Of course, I'm not taking your life. After all, you're far more useful alive than dead, so do you agree?"

Aiba Asagi initially intended to refuse outright.

But thinking of her mother in the hospital bed, even the most rational person couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.

What if?

When existing medical methods have proven completely ineffective, it is understandable to place one's hopes on theology and miracles instead of science.

Because of her mother, the girl often frequented the intensive care unit area and saw many patients' families praying to gods and Buddhas in the corridors or other places.

The majority of people living in the Demon Sanctuary are family members of researchers, yet even so, they ultimately choose to place their hopes on the ethereal deity.

Even if they knew it was fake.

"Good."

With reddened eyes, Aiba Asagi agreed.

After all, she's now just like any other patient's family member who prays to gods and Buddhas.

I constantly fantasize that a miracle will happen.

At the same time, the system tasks were refreshed again.

[Task: Healing]

[Objective: To cure the illness of Aiba Asagi's mother]

[Rewards: Aiba Asagi's Affection +90, World Anchor Point Fragment *1, Random Reward *1]

"Let's go, I'll take you there."

Aiba Asagi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and left the park on her own, regardless of whether Ren followed or not.

At the same time.

Seeing the two leave.

The two girls hiding not far behind also frowned slightly.

One of the girls, wearing the uniform of a prestigious girls' school in the Kansai region, with a single ponytail, watched Ren's retreating figure and couldn't help but mutter, "Hmph, I knew our surveillance target wasn't a good person. He even tried to deceive such a pitiful family member of a cancer patient!"

"Yukina, you think so too, right?"

The girl had a beautiful face, exuding elegance and grace. Her skin was fair, and her hair was a slightly lighter shade of pink. Perhaps because of this, her beauty was reminiscent of cherry blossoms in full bloom.

Her long hair, tied in a ponytail, swayed gently in the sea breeze.

In her right hand, she was also carrying a black instrument case for holding a music keyboard.

The girl she called Yukina was petite, with an exceptionally striking, still-childlike face—the kind of cuteness that anyone who saw her would admire.

Her black hair reached her shoulders, with bangs neatly falling between her eyebrows and eyes. Her golden-brown eyes were sharp and clear, and her figure was slender and seemingly fragile, but she was by no means a delicate vase.

A brown guitar case was slung across her back.

The combination of the two is like that of a certain girl group or band.

In reality, they were sword priestess and maiden who were directly assigned by the Lion King Organization's Three Saints to come to Itogami Island to monitor an important target.

Sword sorceresses are special beings who possess the dual abilities of a swordsman and a priestess, having mastered the use of most melee weapons and close-quarters combat techniques.

Wu Weiyuan, on the other hand, is skilled in curses and assassinations, and also works as a bodyguard and infiltrator.

At the same time, they are also bound by a powerful curse. If someone with malicious intent touches them, the curse will increase several times and backfire on others. Only strong people of the same or higher level as them, as well as people that Wu Weiyuan has approved of, can touch Wu Weiyuan's body.

The two women's names are Himeragi Yukina and Kirasaka Sayaka.

During their studies at the Takagami Shrine, they became close colleagues. Now, the Lion King Organization has assigned them together to carry out the mission of monitoring Ren.

Moreover, although it was supposed to be surveillance, and they were equipped with rather advanced magical weapons, the Three Saints of the Lion King Organization specifically warned them that surveillance should be the primary focus at the moment.

Not only that, the Three Saints also asked them many strange questions in a very serious manner.

For example, they could be asked to share their first impression of Ren while holding photos.

For example, asking them about their preferences and requirements for the opposite sex, etc.

If the Three Saints weren't their superiors, Himeragi Yukina and Kirasaka Sayaka would have already lost their tempers on the spot.

That being said, their first impression of Ren's photo was "indifferent," neither disliking nor liking it.

This answer, however, did not satisfy the Three Saints.

But ultimately, both of them were still assigned the task of monitoring Ren.

After getting off the plane, he hid in the shadows and secretly followed them, based on the home address given to him by his superiors.

The conversation between Ren and Aiba Asagi was overheard by the origami cranes they manipulated with magic.

Meanwhile, Kirasaka Sayaka's impression of Ren further decreased.

Are they even human if they'd lie to patients' families?

Furthermore, Kirasaka Sayaka also thought maliciously that it was probably because she was attracted to Aiba Asagi's face that she came up with such a lame excuse to deliberately approach her.
