Chapter 387 The Story I Have Experienced
Matou Residence, stairs leading to the basement
He only took a few steps towards the basement where the 'boys and girls' were imprisoned.

Fang Yi was still thinking about how much reward he could get through [The Immortal Magician] and [François' Invitation].

Soon, he caught sight of Miss Aozaki slowing down her pace without leaving a trace.

And in the blind spot of his theoretical vision, he turned his head very reservedly, frequently looking at his own "little movements".

Even by being embedded in the left eye, the [Eye of Vision] can [increase the field of vision] like a wide-angle lens.

Fang Yi also accurately captured the movement of the other person's lips, which seemed to be painted with blood-orange matte lipstick.

He wanted to say something several times, but finally gave up.
-
After realizing this, Fang Yi slowed down his pace appropriately and slightly extended the walking time.

Then I began to think about the meaning behind these actions of mine, which included not fully acquiring all the skills and benefits and being classified as an "unmined gold mine".

Miss Aozaki has been silent since she had a conversation with Miss Merlin during the tactical meeting to kill François.

Even after returning to the magic workshop, Ms. Aozaki simply said, "I will make the props to torture them."

It continued to retreat into this silent state, and even had a tendency to 'get worse'.

So, what does this woman want to talk to me about?

[But you're also afraid that if you say these things, it might damage the current partnership?]

[It should be a relatively 'unequal' or, from her perspective, an unusually excessive transaction or cooperation.]

After vaguely deducing the truth, Fang Yi's lips curled up into an interested smile.

At present, neither the [Assessment Task] nor the [Limit Breaking] Task continues to appear.

Miss Zhuang still needs some time to come back and attract François's attention.

That Caster only briefly summoned a few small [Sea Demons] before mysteriously disappearing at the mouth of the Weiyuan River.

He was relatively free and had some time to deal with this woman and make some profit.

So when he caught Miss Aozaki turning her head again and looking at him secretly.

He suddenly stopped and turned his body to look at the other person.

He had already planned to ask the question "Ms. Aozaki, do you have something to say to me?" and arrested the other party firmly.
-
"Ms. Aozaki, do you have something to say to me?"

Aozaki Touko shuddered subconsciously when she suddenly heard the man's words.

The dagger he had just made, which could tear the soul and was intended to be used to torture François, almost slipped out of his hand.

Looking at the man's face, which still had a standard smile on it as always, he moved closer to her.

She recalled the scene she had spied on through her familiar and realized the man's powerful strength.

After realizing that the man in front of him was actually a 'hero' who could defeat the incredibly powerful Li Shuwen and chat and laugh with the king who could tear the sky apart with a single shot.

Miss Aozaki suddenly felt her throat become dry.

[He knew? Such a powerful person knew my thoughts?]

[He's so powerful, and he has some strange skills. It's not surprising that he can sense what I'm thinking.]

[Does he know everything, or has he only vaguely grasped some of it?]

Watching the interested smile gradually appear on the man's face.

Miss Aozaki, who had been having some wild thoughts, instantly lost her composure.

[As expected, this man who can chat and laugh with that king and that powerful magician has the ability to read minds.]

He realized that the commission to "kill his enemy François" was more difficult than he had expected.

He probably already caught the thought in his mind that he was no longer able to pay for the cooperation, which might anger him and make it impossible to continue the cooperation relationship.

[Even the thought of continuing to gain his support and kidnapping him occasionally comes to mind.]

Thinking of this, facing such a powerful man who is absolutely superior.

Miss Aozaki, who used to be very proud and arrogant, felt her cheeks begin to burn like a red-hot iron.

She felt she had no way of paying the reward for killing François. All she could do was to hastily avert her gaze from the man.
-
He looked at and heard what I said, and after making eye contact with me, he became a little flustered and looked away as if trying to cover up his ears and steal the bell.

Ms. Aozaki began to adjust her shirt cuffs to hide her prying behavior.

Listen to the prompt sound of [[The friendship level of the character [Aozaki Touko] changes from [80/100] to [82/100]].

Knowing that the other party was essentially happy that he noticed this, Fang Yi decisively launched further attacks.

With the extremely proficient [Shrinking the Earth] activated instantly.

In just a moment, Fang Yi came close to Miss Aozaki, and then gave the puppeteer dressed as a white-collar worker an extremely evil smile.

"I happen to be a little free, why don't we talk.

"My partner."
-
[He sensed it! But I don't have anything left to pay for that commission.]

Miss Aozaki, who was caught, looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her, and subconsciously shrank back and took a few steps back.

It seemed as if he wanted to distance himself from Fang Yi.

In other situations, this strategy might be considered effective.

However, this action took place on the narrow stairs of the Matou residence.

So after taking two steps back, Miss Aozaki suddenly realized that there was a cold wall right behind her.

Looking at the man who was approaching step by step, blocking him on the stairs like a hunter chasing his prey, and invading the space around him.

After realizing that she couldn't escape, the only thing Ms. Aozaki could do was lower her head.

He uttered a weak lie and made a final struggle.

"It's just that I want to discuss with you how to kill François, that."

Fang Yi responded to her with some very bad and rude words.

"lie!"

Fang Yi raised a finger and placed it on his lips as a gesture of silence.

While approaching Miss Aozaki, he threatened her mysteriously and in a very second-year manner.

"I smell lies from you.

"Tell the truth."
-
[Sure enough, he has this ability! ]

After verifying his 'guess' through Fang Yi's casual and playful words.

Miss Aozaki, who lowered her head, had her psychological defenses broken in an instant, and she simply chose to throw in the towel.

She raised her head and spread her hands, ready to be slaughtered.

"Then I can only tell you, a hero like you, who is on par with the great heroes in mythology, what you already know.

"[I'm sorry, I can't pay the commission equivalent to the commission] It's a bit shameless, but it's actually a helpless statement."

After spitting out the truth that the other party had already 'known', Aozaki Touko looked at the man with the smile on his face.

He uttered these words of self-destruction in a very 'desperate' manner.

"Great hero, tell me what to do.

"No matter what, I understand one thing very clearly."

Miss Aozaki paused.

He admired the man in front of him very much and wanted to deepen his cooperation with him. The man's magic power was almost the same as his own.

For the first time, I honestly shared my concerns with others.

"Just a [Magic Eye] and a [Magic Gear] alone are not enough to kill an enemy as powerful as François.

"Not to mention, you've done a lot of things that only a hero like you could do."

Having said this, looking at Fang Yi who had no reaction, Miss Aozaki couldn't help but regain some courage.

She recounted to Fang Yi all of his achievements in her eyes, as if she were telling him all about them.

“I’m afraid you’re the only one who can make that incredibly powerful female magician take action willingly.

"It was very easy to break François' magic trick that was enough to 'deceive the world'.

"Only you could take such a huge risk to retrieve François, your 'prey', from the clutches of that terrifying heroic spirit whose spear pierced the heavens."

Having said this, she looked into the man's eyes.

He straightened his chest with a full arc and sincerely told Fang Yi what he was thinking.

"The compensation I offer is not commensurate with your efforts and actions.

"If I could just enjoy the benefits of this unequal cooperation without any additional compensation.

"Our partnership is about to end."
-
Hearing Ms. Aozaki's words that were almost flattering, I was worried that the partnership would end.

Fang Yi tilted his head and was about to speak to calm Gold Mine down.

However, he did not expect that Miss Aozaki would interrupt Fang Yi decisively.

"But the [Magic Gift Set] and the [Magic Eye] are already the most valuable items I have.

"The Rune Magic I restored, so highly sought after by the magicians of the Clock Tower, is practically worthless in front of that female magician."

After saying this, Miss Aozaki, who was a little excited and anxious, had tears in her eyes.

"I'm just a useless woman who can make puppets.

"How can I get the help of a legendary hero like you?"

After saying this, Ms. Aozaki seemed to have used up all her power. After the 30-second shutdown warning, the phone officially became "bricked" and fell silent.

Looking at Miss Aozaki who had gotten herself into trouble, she was no longer as arrogant as when we first met, but was unusually 'soft'.

Fang Yi scratched his head in embarrassment.

She seems to be overthinking it.

[But I can't tell her that I was just doing a mission, right?]

[Feelings can lead to more serious consequences.]

Fang Yi touched his chin and thought for a while.

He then took out two copper coins that were a bit rough, with sharp edges, and were almost missing weight.

He waved in front of Ms. Aozaki, and while using [Psychic Confusion], he talked about his first appearance as [Death God in the Mist].

And leave behind unforgettable stories of [legends] and [great deeds] in that world.

"Ms. Aozaki, there is no need to be ashamed of the reward you gave.

"During this leisure time, come and listen to a story I have never told anyone in this world."

Miss Aozaki, who caught the words "I didn't give this to anyone in this world", pricked up her ears instantly.

She took the two copper coins from the man's hand as if they were treasures, and listened very carefully to the man in front of her sharing his experience.

“These two copper coins are the reward I received after my first mission as a killer.

"To get these two copper coins from the woman who has been reduced to selling her body to other men for pay.

"We accepted a commission to kill a noble who had taken the life of his fiancé, and then I carried out a 'meaningless assassination' with a reliable bandit and a female assassin."
-
"We followed the motto 'repay evil with evil' and we responded to his evil deeds with our own.

"Hanged the nobleman in public."

With the blessing of many [relics], [strange objects], and [achievements] that [increase the credibility of words].

After Miss Aozaki listened to the man's brief story about the two copper coins.

Looking at the two copper coins, she asked this question abruptly.

"So, the woman who commissioned you received the news of her enemy's death.

"Any reaction? Are you ecstatic? Or grateful?"

Fang Yi calmly looked at Miss Aozaki who had regained her sanity, and gave an unexpected answer in a very calm manner.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Aozaki, I don’t know how that woman would react.

"After my companions and I finished our work, we didn't bother each other. At that time, I was thinking about fighting against stronger enemies.

"But she must have gotten the news. After all, everyone in the city knew about the deaths of those nobles that day."

Fang Yi took the two copper coins back from Miss Cangqi's hand.

Added a sentence to lighten the atmosphere.

"So the story I'm telling strictly has a 'bad ending'."

Miss Aozaki stared at the two copper coins that disappeared in the man's palm, her mouth moving for a moment.

But after hesitating for a while, she was unable to spit out the inference she had drawn from the story.

All Fang Yi did was pat Miss Aozaki on the shoulder and skillfully wove together a very beautiful sentence.

I defined myself and at the same time appeased the "gold mine" that had not yet been fully mined.

"You should understand by now that I don't do things just for the reward.

"Most of the time it's just that the person in front of you wants to do this.

"The same thing happened with capturing and killing François.

"So you don't have to worry about my extra work.

As he spoke, Fang Yi spread out his hands, lowered his head slightly and moved closer to Miss Aozaki.

He made his request with a hint of sarcasm.

"If you really feel bad, just give a token thank you.

"Like a hug?"

But the next second, the response to the man's words was not the expected hug.
-
Hearing these words.

Looking at the man so close to her, she admired his face that exuded a strange charm.

Knowing that there were no other women in the mansion, Miss Aozaki did not hesitate for a moment and bravely pressed her blood-orange lips on the man's cheek.

After doing all this, Miss Aozaki licked her lips, hugged the man in front of her and whispered in his ear.

"I think in addition to a hug, we can also add a kiss, what do you think?
"big hero?"
-
[This character has completely trusted you and can provide you with more help. ]

[You will trigger the tasks related to [Derived World] after settlement.]

The required certification points for Crystal Mayfly have been reduced from 8000 to 500.

I heard the prompt sound from the space and felt the bosom of Miss Aozaki.

Fang Yi had no choice but to respond.

“All I can say is, it doesn’t look like I have a choice in my compensation.

"But it's not bad."

Listening to the man's answer, looking at the lipstick mark on his face like a stamp of victory.

Miss Aozaki smiled happily.
-
A few minutes later, outside the basement where François was imprisoned.

Before interrogating the enemy, Ms. Aozaki used [magic] to wipe the lipstick off the man's face.
