Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

The sound of wings flapping through the air came, and a demon-repelling bird appeared in the three's field of vision. It was somewhat different from ordinary demon-repelling birds, and its half-closed eyes gave people a disdainful feeling.

"I feel a sense of familiarity with this bird." Looking at the demon-repelling bird, Lumiel felt a wave of familiarity, as if he had seen this demon-repelling bird before.

But even if he had seen a demon-repelling bird before, it was unlikely to leave a deep impression on him.

"Yes, I also have a sense of familiarity, as if I've seen it before, and it feels very familiar."

Richter's eyes held a hint of confusion. With his and Lumiel's magical power, they didn't even have the necessary conditions to raise a demon-repelling bird; the demon-repelling bird would always avoid them.

Seeing the two of them struggling with their thoughts, Fang Rui spoke up and suggested, "...Is it possible that this demon-repelling bird is actually a person in disguise?"

"A person?" Lumiel was stunned upon hearing this.

"From human to demon-repelling bird?" Richter was stunned for a moment, then drew a sword from his magic book. Sword magic is the magic of controlling swords, and also the magic of forging swords.

The magic sword he used before belonged to someone else. The magic sword he uses now is a reforged one, and it is quite different from the regular magic swords. Whether it is the Demon Slayer Sword, the Demon-Suppressing Sword, or the Demon-Destroying Sword, they are all quite special.

It's not entirely a sword created by magic; it must have been forged by someone and stored in a magic book.

As for the technology to create magic swords, Richter did not master it, but having possessed the magical sword for so long, he must have done some research, so creating a replica with some of the original's power would not be a problem.

Furthermore, his new magic book also contains other types of magical swords, which are not as powerful as the swords stored in the previous book, but there are more of them.

Not to mention, Fang Rui possesses mirror magic and has already replicated the Demon Slayer Realm.

Holding the replica of the Demon-Slaying Sword, he gently swung it to remove the curse from the opponent. The Demon-Slaying Bird then shone brightly and returned to its human form.

“Sekelei?!” Lumiel and Richter were both surprised. They really didn’t expect to see their old friend after so long.

"Prince~" she said, looking at Lumiel.

The three were very excited to be reunited after so long.

Fang Rui didn't make a sound to disturb them, but quietly watched the three of them reminisce and listened to what they were saying.

In fact, when Secore is in her Demon-Slaying Bird form, she is mostly unconscious. After all, it would be very difficult to be conscious and survive for so long in the Demon-Slaying Bird form.

After a while, the three stopped reminiscing and started discussing the devil.

"I'm sorry, I don't have much information. I only know that there are organizations collecting magic stones."

Having witnessed firsthand how outrageous the magic stones could be, how could Secolei possibly ignore them? However, there are limits to what one person can do, and she cannot guarantee that all the magic stones are under her supervision.

Therefore, she only possessed information about a few magic stones...

When she examined the magic stone, she noticed that the people searching for it were dressed in uniform, indicating an organized operation.

She tried to follow him, but without much success.

“Is that so…” Lumiel fell into deep thought. Simply collecting magic stones doesn’t prove anything; it’s not necessarily the demons causing trouble.

However, since there are no other clues at the moment, Lumiel decided to investigate first.

Fang Rui, who had detailed information, didn't say anything. Since the other party wanted to investigate on their own (Lumiel: I didn't say that), then let them investigate!

It feels...quite interesting.

Therefore, Fang Rui neither stopped the three nor gave them any warnings; instead, he joined the conversation.

"I suggest we wait for them to come to us by standing by the magic stone."

Fang Rui offered his opinion and then asked Sekelei, "Do you know where the magic stone is?"

“I know the location of a magic stone,” Sekelei said. Her activities were confined to the Clover Kingdom, so she knew little about magic stones that had ended up outside of it.

“Very good. Our first step is to collect magic stones. It doesn’t matter what the organization that collects magic stones wants to do. Anyway, the magic stones are in our hands, and no one else can take them away.”

Lumiel and Richter did not refute what Fang Rui said. The two were very confident in their own strength. If the demon had not been causing trouble in the dark and had not been exposed, the demon would have been beaten up by the two of them together.

Not to mention, Secore's magic is equally outrageous; magic that can seal even demons, sealing other things is naturally no problem.

"Tomorrow's operation, rest now."

"If you want to continue catching up, I have no problem with that, and I can even get you some food and drinks..."

To be honest, there's no way the Black Bulls' headquarters would lack food. When she's awake, Chami will cook all sorts of food, and before going to bed, she'll cook some dishes and store them in the refrigerator so she can eat them the next day.

They also prepare some snacks for their fellow group members.

“If possible…” Lumiel touched his stomach. He remembered that he hadn’t eaten since he woke up. After Fang Rui reminded him, he suddenly felt a little hungry.

Richter nodded in agreement; he was a little hungry too.

As for Sekelei, she didn't say anything. She ate her three meals a day very punctually. She simply turned around and left. She knew the black bull quite well.

Having already lived here for a day, as a bird, she had an advantage: it was easy for her to explore the interior of the Knights' encampment, so she knew where the kitchen was.

"Please leave this matter to me." Sekirei said very seriously. As the prince's attendant, it was her duty to take care of the prince's daily life, including his three meals a day.

The royal family has a dedicated chef in charge of their meals, but Sekelei has received specialized culinary training, so she can cook.

"Of course." Fang Rui had no reason to refuse.

Since someone else was doing the work, Fang Rui saw no need to linger. He returned to his bedroom and used magic to decorate, arranging the items he had previously purchased one by one…

After that, it's time to enjoy a good night's sleep.

While Fang Rui was enjoying a comfortable sleep, others in the Clover Kingdom were suffering from insomnia.

Richter's resurrection went unnoticed by anyone, not even by the demons, but the theft of Lumiel's statue would soon be known to others...

How this matter will be handled depends on those in power.

It's impossible that the stone statue was stolen, since the news of that incident hasn't spread yet.

Instead, it was something else entirely. For example, some people who had been humiliated in the Knights' selection ceremony were filled with resentment and plotting revenge.

Someone with two souls in one body was acting at night, inquiring about the progress of collecting magic stones.

Information about magic stones was gathered from scratch, and we've made some progress today; someone has discovered that there are magic stones in a certain village.

"Very good, send someone to fetch it."

The person's voice couldn't hide their excitement; the plan they'd been preparing for so long was finally about to begin!

My companion, we will meet again.

"Yes!" The subordinate nodded in agreement without any questions.

The organization's members are mostly elites, a small number are perverts, and a very small minority are problematic individuals.

Of course, the above refers to the middle and upper levels; the lower-level staff are still mostly ordinary magic knights.

………………

The next day, Fang Rui woke up relatively early; his sleep quality was only so-so.

In the early morning, the forest air is very fresh and rich in oxygen, and flocks of birds fly through the forest.

"Oh oh oh..."

Asta's energetic roar echoed through the house, waking everyone up like an alarm clock...

"What's wrong?" Vanessa ran her hand through her hair and scratched it a few times, making her slightly curly long hair even more disheveled.

"So noisy!" Thor sat up as if he had just jumped up, his eyes still closed, and he had already complained.

"Huh? Where is this?"

When she opened her eyes, the unfamiliar surroundings left her with a somewhat blank expression.

"How did I get here?!"

Covering his head, Thor began to recall the events of the previous night. "I remember drinking with the Black Bulls, and then... I don't remember anything else."

My gaze slowly moved and then fell on the window, where a verdant forest came into view.

"Is this the Black Bulls' territory?"

Saul said this, or rather, she was looking forward to it, because in other places, things might have been much worse.

"Time for breakfast!" The first thing that popped into Chami's mind when she was woken up was that it was time to eat.

Goshu sat up like a spring, first observing the sky, then quickly washing up and starting a long phone conversation with his sister.

After changing his clothes, Lark headed toward Magna's room without washing up. Magna, completely unaware of this, rolled over while clutching her blanket, muttered "So noisy," and went back to sleep.

As for Yami, he stared at the ceiling, torn between going to sleep and going to the toilet.

Fang Rui pushed open the door to the guest room. Last night, when he was cleaning the guest rooms, he had specially prepared a room for Saul to live in, so that Saul could use his bedroom.

"You're awake~"

Seeing Thor's constantly changing expression, Fang Rui invited him, "It'll be breakfast time soon, please gather in the living room. The toiletries are on the table, and the washing area is outside the house..."

After saying that, Fang Rui left the room without giving anyone a chance to react and headed towards the other two guest rooms.

Lumière and Richter also need to be notified by him...

However, when he opened the door, he saw the scene he expected: the three of them hadn't rested at all, but were chatting all night.

'Really, do you have that much to say?'

Fang Rui sighed inwardly, knowing that they would have plenty of time to spend together in the future, but he wanted to make up for all the time they had been apart in the past in just one day.

That's really...greedy!

Fang Rui couldn't find a suitable adjective, so he stopped paying attention to the matter and coughed twice, attracting the attention of the three people.

"It's already the second day~"

"Let's go have breakfast, and then we should set off to investigate the magic stone."

And you should also tell Yami that since this is a long-term operation, and he is now a magic knight, he should abide by the rules.

"Okay!" The three of them agreed without saying anything.

The group went to the living room and had breakfast with the others.

During this time, Thor's attitude was somewhat strange, or to put it simply, he was a bit awkward. The dining atmosphere at Black Bulls was very different from that at Green Rose.

Although the members of the Blue Rose Club have a good relationship, they rarely have breakfast together; instead, they often have afternoon tea together.

Moreover, even if we were to enjoy afternoon tea together, the atmosphere wouldn't be like this.

Well, the atmosphere at Black Bulls' table was quite lively, with someone constantly yelling.

Why was he yelling while eating?
