I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Shinomiya Gan'an's eyes twitched as she looked at the photos. The first photo was of a beautiful girl, Mashiro, holding a Baumkuchen cake and taking small bites with an ethereal expression. She appeared in the photo in this image.

The second photo shows Kobayashi, who is dressed in a suit, has light red hair, wears glasses, and looks somewhat like a man.

According to the information provided, Rai Zhe is very close to the girl in the first photo, while the second is Kobayashi, with whom he also has a good relationship both at work and in private.

It would be fine to kidnap Kobayashi, but if Shiina Mashiro, an internationally renowned painter, were to get into trouble in Japan, it would likely cause very serious problems.

"What, what's the problem?"

Kadileya noticed the slight embarrassment on Shinomiya Yan'an's face and immediately gave a vicious laugh. What use was the other party if they couldn't even do this simple thing?

"There's a serious problem."

An unusual, unfamiliar voice of rebuttal rang out.

Shinomiya Gan'an, who was about to say in a panic that it was no problem, widened his eyes, because this was not what he had said.

Upon realizing there was a fifth person in the room, the three former Demon Kings immediately widened their eyes and turned around to see Reiji leaning leisurely against the wooden door, smiling at them.

Beside him, Kaguya, the daughter whom Shinomiya Kanan knew all too well, had also appeared, standing nervously next to Hayasaka Ai, not daring to say a word.

"It's you! When did this happen...?"

Sharuba was shocked when he saw Reiji. He had thought that Reiji was just a human with decent strength. He believed that the heroes had been wiped out in the human world because they had encountered a being of the same level as Orpheus.

The old demon kings who looked down on humans would subconsciously despise them before witnessing their true power, considering them nothing more than weak humans.

"I was curious about who the demon was who was connected to the Shinomiya family, but I didn't expect it to be the former Demon Lord of the Calamity Brigade. It surprised me."

With no smile in his eyes but a chilling grin on his face, Lei Zhe watched the three demon kings with great interest.

However, this gaze truly stung the three proud demon kings, because there was no hostility, no malice, and not a trace of killing intent in Lei Zhe's eyes.

Their calm, unwavering gaze, coupled with their tone, made it seem as if Lei Zhe had found a dollar while rummaging through a cabinet with a slight surprise.

"A mere nobody..."

puff!

Kadileya, wand in hand, was about to utter a few arrogant and harsh words, but before she could finish, she couldn't utter a word. Her gaze was instantly pulled into eternal darkness, as if she were in a washing machine, and the world spun around her.

tick~

Both Sharuba and Kruzere, their faces covered in cold sweat, stared in disbelief at the headless female corpse between them.

Hayasaka Ai and Shinomiya Kaguya covered their mouths tightly, staring in horror at the sudden bloody scene before them.

Kneeling on the ground with his face splattered with blood, Shinomiya Gan'an stared blankly at the head that rolled in front of him.

Kadileya's head, still bearing that fierce and arrogant expression, lay in a pool of blood.

"Ah~, even if you don't say anything, I already know what kind of nonsense a demon who looks down on humans will spout. And those two, if you don't want to die, stop your teleportation magic."

Lei Zhe glanced indifferently at the obstructive head and spoke indifferently and uninterestingly.

Clang clang...

A soft clang of blades trembled as, to the stunned silence of Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka, two ferocious, sharp, blood-red giant scythes suddenly appeared behind Reiji, swaying gently like giant snakes.

The crimson scythe, more vivid than blood itself, was aimed directly at the remaining two old demon kings.

The two former demon lords being targeted felt as if they were being watched by a rattlesnake in a confined space with no way to escape.

The thought that their lives were no longer in their own hands, and the possibility of losing their lives at any moment, sent chills down their spines.

Kaguya forced herself to glance at the blade while enduring the mental pain before looking away; the solidified killing intent emanating from the blood-red scythe was terrifying and horrifying.

Ghouls? No, that's not right, the other party is not that kind of being.

Although the thing extending from behind the man looked like a ghoul's kagune used to hunt prey, Kaguya was certain that it wasn't some fleshy organ, but a real weapon.

"Damn humans!"

Sharuba and Kruzere looked tense and fierce. They bit their tongues hard, and after the taste of blood filled their mouths, they forced themselves to cast a teleportation spell under their feet, enduring the fear of impending death.

It was too strange and bizarre. They didn't even see how the human killed Kadileya. They knew that staying meant certain death.

Knowing they couldn't defeat the two former demon kings, they had no choice but to retreat. After all, as long as they survived, they wouldn't be afraid of dying without ever regaining their demon king thrones.

The teleportation spell was activated, and the light had already engulfed the two old demon lords. They were initially wary of whether Rezhe would use that imperceptible attack to interrupt their escape.

But in their eyes, Lei Zhe remained indifferent, watching them without making a move. His gaze was as if he were looking at a cricket in a jar, showing indifference and silence towards their attempt to escape.

It wasn't until the moment they were completely moved away, when Sharuba and Kruzere, who were on the roof of a building dozens of kilometers away, finally breathed a sigh of relief as they looked at the starry night sky in front of them.

They escaped successfully, but... why do I still have this ominous feeling? They both managed to get away.

Lei Zhe stared indifferently at the two old demon kings who had vanished from sight. Behind him, another blood scythe slowly raised its head like a snake, its crimson tip pointing at the spot where the two demon kings had disappeared, and trembled slightly.

Click!

A shattering sound, audible only to Rezhe, rang out, and the reality before the crimson scythe instantly distorted.

"Hmph, that human... What!?!"

Sharuba and Kruzere, who had previously escaped, reappeared in the room. Sharuba, who was making threats after escaping, saw the familiar scene before him and the human still leaning against the wooden door.

"What's going on? We clearly moved away, so why are we suddenly back here!?"

Kruse, who had finally breathed a sigh of relief, completely panicked. This kind of incomprehensible situation is the most terrifying.

There was no warning when they were brought back; the scene before us happened as if a memory had been cut off, and we were back here.

"I see. It seems that the consumption of this ability depends on the scale of the destruction."

Lei Zhe sensed that a large amount of energy had been consumed in his body in an instant, which would amount to hundreds of soul points.

After conducting an experiment on the person in front of him, he also figured out the terrifying energy consumption of his own abilities.

"It's you..."

"You're useless now, you can disappear. Have fun in the Demon City!"

Ignoring Sharuba's words, after completing his experiment, Reiji's two blood scythes pierced the foreheads of the two former demon kings in front of him.

Unable to sense or dodge, the two former demon kings, their heads pierced, were like Razer's playthings, their eyes losing their luster as they died completely.

Including the recently deceased Kadirea, the souls of these two demon lords also went to Valhalla to happily fight each other.

"This...this sir, I..."

"Oh, I almost forgot about you."

Reiji turned his calm gaze to the bewildered Shinomiya Yan'an, who was instantly vaporized by a burst of holy light that Reiji casually flicked out before she could finish speaking.

He had no interest in experimenting on a mere weakling reincarnated as a demon.

Her own father, the head of the Shinomiya family, vanished right before Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka's eyes.

"that......"

Kaguya hesitated for a moment, looking at Raizetsu, who had slowly sheathed the blood-red scythe into his lower back, and was about to say something.

Swish! !

However, the wooden door behind Razer was suddenly pulled open, which startled Hayasaka Ai, since her sensitive ears had not heard any footsteps.

Three girls came into view, one of whom was their familiar white-haired maid, Belfast. Beside her were two curvaceous girls, Genova and Irina, dressed in tight-fitting combat suits, wielding strangely shaped and exaggerated holy swords and sabers, with serious expressions.

"My Lord, all the ghouls and heretics tainted by the corrupted demonic energy in this mansion have been annihilated."

Genovia's cold gaze first swept over Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka, and after confirming that they were just ordinary people, she glanced subtly at the demon corpse in the room, and respectfully reported to Reiji while holding the blood-stained greatsword.

Holy Son? Why does this have such a religious feel to it?

Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka looked at Raiji, their thoughts unreadable.

"I never thought anyone would use a ghoul as a bodyguard. It's simply heresy."

Irina Zifang said with some disgust, and because she felt the air here was smelly, she waved her hand in front of her nose as if trying to dispel the unclean air in the house.

The demonic aura and the stench of blood from the ghouls were nauseating.

Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka also looked rather unwell upon hearing this, as if Irina's words had brought back some disgusting and bloody memories.

Kaguya Shinomiya knew from a young age that there were ghouls in the Shinomiya mansion because they were all raised by her father and brothers.

Kaguya loathed and resented ghouls because when she was a child, her older brother, Shinomiya Hikari, had 'invited' her to witness firsthand how ghouls ate a living person.

That was Kaguya Shinomiya's childhood trauma, and she knew that her older brother was toying with her.

"Belfast, kill as many ghouls as you can. Once we confirm that humans are also involved in raising ghouls, we'll deal with them one by one."

Sensing the several ship girls emerging from the mental network to carry out their mission, Reiji coldly issued the order to kill.

"understood."

Belfast nodded in response, activating her mental network signal to send messages to her other sisters who had come to reality about the Shinomiya family's branch family and those connected to it.

"What about these two?"

Genovia calmly focused her gaze on Hayasaka Ai and Shinomiya Kaguya, whose attire was exactly the same as that of the maids in the house.

The two girls immediately became alert because of Genovya's gaze, but fortunately, as Kaguya had thought, Reiji did not have any ill intentions towards her and Hayasaka Ai.

"The two of them are innocent bystanders."

Reiji turned his gaze to Kaguya, and seeing the tension in her eyes, he smiled faintly and said to her:

"Kaguya Shinomiya, right? Are you interested in becoming the head of the Shinomiya family?"

“?”×2

Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka were both a little stunned upon hearing this, as they had initially wondered what the other party would do to them.

As a result, Kaguya Shinomiya became the head of the Shinomiya family.

That must be a puppet...

After regaining her senses, Kaguya Shinomiya, whose heart was as cold as ice, thought to herself in a cold and realistic way.

As expected, her brothers would also disappear completely, making her, the least favored and most easily controlled eldest daughter in the family, the most suitable...

"I'm not making you a puppet; I have no interest in controlling you. Literally, I'm just making you the head of the family."

Just as Kaguya Shinomiya's self-deprecating malice was growing stronger, Raiji spoke up at that moment.

"why me?"
