Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 83 Mission: 01-6 Night Tour (Seeking follow-up reading)

"Club activities?"

After school, facing questions from classmates, Nero remembered that he had forgotten that many students in this country would participate in clubs, which was also an important extracurricular activity for them.

"Yes, Nero will be welcomed no matter which club he joins," said the classmate.

Nero's current persona is "a noble girl with a keen interest in Wano culture," so naturally, she couldn't say she didn't want to join a club. After thinking for a moment, Nero asked, "Does Nayuki-san have any club recommendations?"

"Of course, there are quite a few!"

A classmate named Yuki immediately counted on her fingers and read out the names of the dishes to Nero. "Look, Nero, you're such a good athlete. Sports clubs will definitely invite you when they find out, like the track and field club and the tennis club. The anime department is always open to everyone, and Nero is pretty, so joining is definitely a no-brainer. And I remember Nero seemed quite interested in that area. And since you're a foreigner, the foreign language department clubs will definitely welcome you too..."

Nero just smiled as she continued to talk about her academic clubs, leisure clubs, literature clubs, and chess clubs. Then he replied, "Thank you. That's very valuable, but I think I might need to think about it carefully."

"It's worth considering. Nero-san, do you have any hobbies?"

"Hobby……"

This question had Nero lost in thought for a moment. If he had to say something, demon hunting might count, but that wasn't something he could share outside of school.

However, if this question is changed to "specialties", it will be much easier to answer.

Of the sixteen years after becoming Nero, the first six were spent in an orphanage. Back then, she was a quiet, withdrawn, tomboy who didn't fit the mold of a girl. She would always mess up her hair, which Granny Siesta had trimmed for her, with her own scissors. Her only talent was that she could count much faster than others.

Later, after being adopted by Credo's parents and mentored by Jillie, Nero became more restrained. While she still didn't want to grow her hair long, she at least stopped deliberately scissoring it. During that time, Nero learned a number of dances from Jillie to improve her figure, and she also learned etiquette there. These were her strengths at the time.

Later, after Credo's parents were killed by demons, Credo became her mentor. When he first became a Knight of the Order, Credo would play with Nero and Kyrie, even allowing Nero to touch the impressive-looking Power Sword. However, after that, Credo became a stern, boring older brother, who only supervised their studies and became very strict with their etiquette and manners.

At this stage, Nero's specialty became the hymns he practiced constantly for the Demon Sword Festival.

This moment of daze actually made his classmates a little worried. Facing their concern, Nero came to his senses, shook his head, and said, "Sorry, maybe it's because I learned so much when I was young that I can't really tell what my true hobbies are."

So the classmate smiled and expressed his understanding: "This is what they call the troubles of rich people, right? Although it sounds a bit pitiful."

It does sound a bit pathetic that he doesn't even know what he really wants. Nero smiled and replied:
"That's true. But now that I can finally live on my own for a while, I'll think about this issue carefully."

After picking up his bag and nodding to her, Nero turned and walked out of the classroom.

"Okay, next..." After leaving the school gate, Nero found an empty corner, unbuttoned his school uniform's tie and collar, took out a bowler hat from his chest that looked impossible to hide under his school uniform, and put it on his head.

For Nero, Yugaoka's uniform was both troublesome and convenient. The blazer-like top covered the collar tightly, making it difficult for Nero to access items, but it perfectly concealed his demonic flesh.

After putting on the "Mephistopheles" hat, a faint light emerged, and Nero's clothes instantly transformed into a jet-black tuxedo, and his hair was tied up. Then she reached out from her chest and pulled out a mask with feather-like patterns, embroidered with gold thread, and a bird-like nose. She put it on her face.

The half-face mask, "Lamer." This mask allows Nero to move freely through walls, but Nero rarely uses its power, instead focusing more on its appearance.

Then came the Yama Blade. The moment its presence appeared, Nero's pupils turned scarlet, and his bright blond hair instantly faded to silver. With that, the disguise was complete.

Anyone who sees "Samael" in this state would not think that this person has any connection with "Nero Fortuna", the transfer student from Hanegaoka Girls' Academy.

This was actually the real reason why Nero hadn't thought about joining the club. She had another identity and needed to use her time after school to carry out activities. And now, all she had to do was...

--track.

At school, through conversations with classmates, Nero has locked onto several targets who have varying degrees of demonic aura. Next, she will follow these targets to see if she can find any clues about the "big fish".

The first day's target was naturally the one with the strongest demonic energy. Although she had left school earlier than Nero, Nero had already spotted her from a distance in the hallway of the teaching building. The next step was to confirm whether she would take the tram or subway, and which line.

Nero, dressed in strange attire, naturally wouldn't rashly appear in the crowd; that would be too conspicuous. The nightingale, dressed in black, was now silently hopping between the tall buildings. With her powerful eyesight and sensitivity to demonic energy, she quickly found her target.

Standing on the rooftop, after confirming her target had boarded the train, Nero pulled out her phone and checked the route map. She planned to chase the train with her body.

And she can indeed do it.

Soon, Nero found his target again near a station and watched him walk into his home.

It's getting dark.

Just as Nero was scrolling through his phone idly, the door of the house opened quietly.

Nero quickly turned off her phone to avoid being exposed. Then she saw the classmate, neatly dressed, walk out and walk away along the road as if she had lost her soul.

Just like the "missing classmate" mentioned in school.
