Chapter 284
"...But he finally made a secret and made me aware of the existence of this world, so he sent me here."
"It is difficult to produce a three-digit number outside of Little Garden, and it can reach four digits at most."
"...And the demon itself is almost a three-digit figure. Even if it can only use four-digit power for the time being, it is not something that ordinary four-digit figures can defeat."
The invisible figure felt that his idea was correct. It was not that the devil was too careless, but that the devil never expected that the coordinates of this world would be exposed.
"But even so, the void of the two gods of Zoroastrianism, good and evil, still exists. Hakoba cannot observe this world, so you will use some loopholes to send me here."
The dark figure quickly put aside his doubts and began to think about how to destroy the plan of the Zoroastrian demon.
"It is in line with the devil's methods to plunge human beings into despairing fear and thereby sacrifice the entire world."
"...Although the Zoroastrian demon himself may not be in this world and is just letting the spell work on its own, I can't be careless and expose it."
"If outright destruction will only lead to the discovery of the devil and the loss outweighs the gain, the task given to me by your Excellency is to delay his time."
"...Then the best way is to give hope to the people of this world, so that this technique cannot be completed in a short time."
With the personality and knowledge of this person from Hakoden, it is easy to tell that these demons have been in this world for decades.
According to his understanding, this technique has been operating for decades, and it should be at the final stage now, so what he has to do is to make it impossible to complete the technique.
After getting his mission goal and solution, he immediately took action.
…
"cheers!"
In an izakaya in the capital of the island country, Makima bought it in her own name.
The entire izakaya has two floors. In order to welcome the arrival of the inspector Saigo, all members of the fourth pair of magic special departments, whether they are frontline combatants or logistics personnel, were invited to participate in team building.
"Hahaha, Hayakawa, come and have a drink with me. Do you want to stay at my place tonight?"
A woman with short black hair and a pretty face who looked to be in her late twenties shouted carelessly.
She held a pint of beer in her hand and drank half of it in one go, her face flushed.
And the imaginative ambiguity in those words made the other demon hunters present laugh.
But the man named Hayakawa Akira who was teased by the woman did not change his expression. He drank wine and ate in a leisurely manner, and said very seriously: "... Himeno-senpai, you drank too much."
Makima, who was sitting at the front of the party, was wearing a decent women's suit. She was also holding a glass of draft beer in her hand and introduced to Xixiang who was sitting next to her:
"...This lady is Himeno, and the person sitting next to her is Hayakawa Akira. They are partners and the aces of our fourth pair of magic special subjects."
"Himeno has more than five years of experience in hunting monsters, and she is responsible for almost all the newcomers in the department. Hayakawa also has three years of experience in hunting monsters. They are the absolute seniors in the entire department."
For ordinary professions, three to five years of work experience can only be considered normal, but in the profession of demon hunter, this is already a rare experienced person.
After all, demon hunters will always encounter powerful demons, and they will die if they are not careful. Moreover, there is a price to pay for using the power of demons, and the human body cannot pay too much of a price.
Just like the lady named Himeno, she wears an eyepatch on her right eye, and that right eye is the price she pays for using demonic power.
"The demon in Himeno's contract is a ghost demon, and the demon in Hayakawa's contract is a fox demon."
Of course, this kind of confidential information cannot be disclosed outside casually, but Xixiang is now in a similar position to Machima, and he also has the responsibility of monitoring Machima.
In addition to reading the information of the entire department during the day, Machima followed her promise and introduced everyone in the department to Xixiang.
"Inspector Saigo, do you mind if I smoke a cigarette here?"
Jiye glanced at Xixiang as she gulped down a can of beer. Although she was dissatisfied with Xixiang, an airborne boss, she still maintained the respect of her subordinates.
"Please, Ms. Himeno."
Xixiang waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care.
These demon hunters are all licking blood with their swords. To be honest, most of them have bad hobbies in their private lives.
Smoking and drinking can only be said to be the least of the problems. People who are dissolute and have relationships with various members of the opposite sex, and even drug users are not uncommon.
The main reason is that no one knows when he will die, so he will naturally be obsessed with enjoying himself.
"Inspector Saigo, you don't have to be so formal. Just call me Himeno... Come on, Hayakawa, smoke a cigarette with me!"
Ji Ye took out a cigarette and lit it, then put the cigarette directly into his partner's mouth.
The man named Hayakawa Akira looked very serious, but he was also puffing up smoke. After a while, the izakaya was filled with the smell of smoke.
···········Please ask for flowers··········
"This is Shan. His contracted demon is a shotgun demon from the Gun Demon. It can use any round object to fire shotguns."
"This is Takeda, his contracted demon is..."
"..."
Makima had a soft smile on her face, and she seemed very casual even though she was mingling with her subordinates.
But the dignified sitting posture gives people a noble temperament, which is completely different from those formless demon hunters.
She introduced them one by one, and each demon hunter also said hello to Saigo, the nominal boss.
"She is our newcomer named Dongshan Xiaohong. The devil in the contract is a 'secret'. As long as you keep the secret of your devil itself, you can use some very mysterious abilities."
Machima smiled again and introduced a girl in her twenties, who looked very young and beautiful.
Dongshan Xiaohong didn't dare to look at her boss at all. Her eyes were wandering, her expression was shy and fearful, and she looked very panicked. She lowered her head and said:
............... 0
"...Hello, Inspector General Nishigo."
While greeting Xixiang, Dongshan Xiaohong focused all her attention on the food in front of her.
It’s eel rice, it’s eel rice!
Miss Makima is so generous. She invited so many people to eat eel rice. This is the first time in my life...
Woohoo, it's so delicious. It's worth dying to eat something so delicious.
No, I don’t want to die yet.
Seeing this pretty little girl shedding tears of poverty, as if she was having a lot of inner drama, Xixiang's expression remained unchanged and he was speechless.
He only thought that these demon hunters were quite interesting, but it was a pity that they followed a cruel boss, so the ending would not be much better.
Well, of course this cruel boss couldn't be him, but Machima.
At this moment, Machima's red and attractive lips came to Xixiang's ear. She exhaled like a blue breath, her lips touched Xixiang's earrings intentionally or unintentionally, and whispered:
"...As the fourth experimental pair of demons, there are also some demons and demons who are also members of the department."
"But they are not suitable to participate in such a party. I will introduce them to you when I have free time."
After saying that, she immediately left Xixiang's ear again. She had an upright appearance and a gentle temperament like a big sister, as if the ambiguous situation just now did not exist.
Machima straightened her expression and said gently: "... Mr. Saigo, are you free in the evening? Why don't you come and sit at my place?"
As soon as she finished speaking, pairs of eyes looked at Xixiang. Among them were women and men, some were surprised, some were envious, and some were jealous.
Even Hayakawa Akira, who looked the most serious, looked envious.
Xixiang smiled in his heart.
If you love a devil so much, any tragic ending will be considered normal.
Chapter 38 The Charm of Miss Makima
After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are gone.
The whole izakaya was in a mess.
A group of drunken men and women were making a lot of noise and laughing inside, which was a great joy of life.
Looking at this scene, Xixiang evoked some memories of the past, the fun of life when he was a pure ordinary person.
After work, on the weekends, I invite a few friends to a small restaurant to have a drink and brag.
Although this kind of life is boring, it is full of life.
It’s just that since time travel, whether it’s the cyberpunk world where the World Tree game is located, or the highly developed magic civilization in Bloodthirsty.
These ordinary pleasures seem to be far away from Xixiang.
"What are you thinking about?"
Just when Xixiang was thinking wildly, a gentle and elegant voice came from beside him, and there was also a faint fragrance of amber, oakmoss and Brazilian rosewood.
Makima, who had already taken off her women's suit and was only wearing a close-fitting white shirt, walked up to him and asked in a caring and gentle tone like a big sister.
The top button of her white shirt was unbuttoned, and through the gaps in the dress, one could see her bamboo-like white collarbones, as well as a little bit of the lace edge of her underwear that was barely noticeable.
Those exquisite collarbones and a little bit of whiteness can easily make men feel an impulse from the bottom of their hearts.
Especially after Makima drank alcohol, her face was slightly tipsy and her skin was red, adding to her alluring charm.
I don't know if she did it on purpose or accidentally, Machima pulled her collar to expose more of her skin.
But what is incredible is that even if this woman makes a seductive gesture, she does not have that seductive feeling. Instead, she has an aura of abstinence and looks very dignified.
Xixiang looked back, shook his head and said: "...It's nothing, I'm just thinking about some philosophical insights on life."
"I didn't expect Mr. Saigo to still like to think about this kind of thing."
Makima shook her head, she was quite amused.
Following immediately, Makima clapped her hands vigorously and said to the drunken people: "...It's getting late today. Everyone, please go back and have a rest."
"...Cheer up and come to work tomorrow. Don't be late."
After hearing Makima's scolding, everyone said in unison: "...Yes, Miss Makima!"
Immediately, the group of people supported each other and walked out laughing again. Maybe everyone had drunk too much, but they had forgotten that Makima invited Xixiang to her home.
Makima took out her wallet from her suit pocket and went to pay.
Dongshan Xiaohong stood nervously at the table. She saw that there were still many unfinished meals, and she panicked and said to the staff clearing the table: "...can these leftover meals be packed?"
The service staff said politely: "...Of course you can pack it, miss."
Dongshan Xiaohong heaved a sigh of relief and said to the waiter: "... Then please pack up the rest of the food for me."
The two waiters went to pack up, and Dongshan Xiaohong secretly looked at the bottles of unopened wine ready to take away.
At this time, a voice suddenly came to her ear: "... Miss Dongshan is really frugal."
Dongshan Xiaohong, who looks beautiful and like a female college student, was startled. She jumped forward like a rabbit and turned around quickly.
Seeing Xixiang standing behind her with a smile, this girl in her twenties folded her hands in front of her and held her fingers until they turned white.
She looked around, not daring to look Xixiang in the face, and said with nervous sweat on her head: "...Yes, yes, I think it's better to save some money."
"...It's a bit of a waste that a lot of food here is not finished. I can heat it up at home and eat two meals."
"I, I just passed the driver's license test recently. I want to save money to buy a car, so I have to save more...ah haha..."
Facing Xixiang, her boss, she was very panicked, looking around, and was nervous, but she didn't dare to lie in front of her boss, so she just stuttered.
Xixiang watched Machima checking out at the front desk, and took this opportunity to talk to the beautiful girl in front of him: "... Why did Miss Dongshan become an official demon hunter?"
Dongshan Xiaohong lowered her head, her fingers tangled together, and whispered: "... I, I have many brothers and sisters at home, and my family conditions are not good."
"... I can't do other jobs, and I can make a lot of money as a demon hunter, so I... I will try to be a demon hunter."
Xixiang understood after hearing this, Dongshan Xiaohong is one of the types in Machima's words, the type who has to be a demon hunter for money.
He looked Dongshan Xiaohong up and down, and this girl looks quite iconic.
Although there is a gap between her appearance and temperament and Machima, this appearance also has a beauty that many boys flock to in school.
The makeup on her face can be seen to be very cheap, and her panic and fear of everything personality also makes people want to bully and protect her.
But Xixiang can perceive that there is an unimaginable madness deep in the heart of this girl.
I can only say that those who can become demon hunters seem to have some psychological problems.
"Mr. Inspector General, what do you want me to do?"
Dongshan Xiaohong asked with a wry smile.
"I think if you want money, Miss Dongshan, you don't have to be a demon hunter. You can make a lot of money by being a hostess in a bar."
"... And the island country has a developed erotic industry, so going into the industry is actually a good choice."
