My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

The three disciples were all quite familiar with the house. After they finished speaking, they left one by one, leaving Takayanagi Ichiro standing there alone.

The group of people left in different directions, and Takayanagi Ichiro showed no intention of going into the kitchen to help, instead following Himeyasu Nobuko's footsteps.

The atmosphere was indeed a bit tense before, and it was because of what Himeya Nobuko said, so something bad is bound to happen to Himeya Nobuko.

Hime Nagato went straight up to the second floor and opened a door on her right.

When Ichiro Takayanagi walked over, he noticed that the door was a bit strange. It couldn't be opened directly; instead, one had to walk over and open it before entering.

"Mr. Takayanagi, I wonder what your intentions are in following me? You know, there are two young and beautiful high school girls with you."

Hime Naga no Tsukasa was clearly aware of the commotion behind her; after all, being vigilant is the most important quality for a magician.

Hime Nagahiro is a little too old to compete with female high school students.

However, he was speaking to Takayanagi Ichiro with a somewhat seductive tone, clearly believing that he possessed a certain extra charm compared to female high school students.

Takayanagi Ichiro did not show any impatience, but instead questioned Himeyasu Nobuko.

"Miss Hime, could this room be your teacher's secret office?"

Since Ichiro Takayanagi was able to cooperate during Hoshigawa Dogo's performance, it's not surprising that he could tell what the room was for, and Nobuko Hime didn't seem to want to deny it.

"Yes, there are some of the teacher's collections in this room, as well as the teacher's magic notebook."

Whoever obtains it will become the teacher's only disciple.

Hime Naruko cared a lot about the title of strongest disciple, but he didn't intend to look for notes in the room. Instead, he casually flipped through some books, as if he was reminiscing about the time they had spent studying here.

"Miss Hime, you already have that notebook, which is why you proposed competing for the title of strongest disciple. And your teacher's disappearance is also related to you, isn't it?"

What Takayanagi Ichiro said next caused Himeyasu Nobuko's expression to change drastically. She turned around and looked at Takayanagi Ichiro with a very gloomy expression.

"who are you?"

Takayanagi Ichiro's ability to cooperate with Hoshigawa Dogo in his performance, and his current unprecedented speculation, have made Himeyasu Nobuko very wary, leading her to suspect Takayanagi Ichiro's identity.

"I'm just an ordinary audience member. Just now, when you were talking about your witch resurrection performance, the atmosphere among the four of you suddenly became tense."

So I can guess that your magic trick came from your teacher's notes.

If you truly possessed this ability to design magic tricks, the title of the strongest disciple might have already been yours when you were apprenticing under a master.

After hearing Takayanagi Ichiro's words, Himeyasu Nobuko turned her back to him and did not respond to continue the question.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Only students like us are allowed in my teacher's room. If you don't leave..."

I'll call Xinghe and the other guy up here and kick you out. That would be embarrassing for you in front of your two high school girlfriends.

Ichiro Takayanagi did not take Himeyasu Nobuko's threat to heart, but instead offered his advice.

"After you told me about that magic show, I believe all three of them will have some doubts about you. Hoshikawa Tongwu might even come here to confront you."

"Be prepared to die then. He's the kind of person who would do anything for his teacher."

After finishing his sentence, Takayanagi Ichiro immediately turned and left the room where the collection was kept. He wasn't going to become a magician, so he had no interest in the collected manuals.

I bumped into Hoshikawa Tongwu as I was going downstairs.

"Mr. Takayanagi, the rooms upstairs were basically arranged by my former teacher, including this house."

Therefore, we don't really want outsiders going to the rooms upstairs; you're welcome to wander around downstairs as you please.

Chapter 618 The Crime That Was Stopped

At this moment, Hoshikawa Dogo asked Takayanagi Ichiro to go downstairs for a stroll, as the downstairs belonged to his three disciples.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with that, and Takayanagi Ichiro nodded to him before going downstairs.

He had already warned Himeyasu that if Himeyasu really sought her own death, he would only step in at the last moment.

Takayanagi Ichiro's obedience surprised Hoshigawa Dogo a little, but it improved his impression of his teacher even more.

After he could no longer hear Takayanagi Ichiro's footsteps, Hoshigawa Dogo went to his teacher's former office, opened the door, and went straight in.

The sudden commotion made Himeyasu Nobuko tremble slightly. Although she believed that she could not possibly die here, Takayanagi Ichiro's warning still gave her an ominous feeling.

Turning around and seeing it was Hoshikawa Dogo, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xinghe, you've come to see me at this time. Do you perhaps intend to give up the competition for the strongest disciple?"

You have a good reputation in Japan, but you are far behind me internationally.

So if you really want me to compete for the title of strongest disciple, then we should have some international competition.

Himeya Nobuko believes that a magician's fame is not of much value in Japan; they should have a certain international reputation.

"Zhanzi, is the teacher's disappearance related to you?"

Hoshikawa Tongwu didn't care about the competition for the strongest disciple. Instead, he asked Hime Nagawara about their teacher.

Hoshigawa Dogo's words startled Hime Naga Nobuko for a moment, but she immediately denied them.

"Xinghe, what did you hear that made you ask me such a question?"

Before this, you always seemed to think the teacher was missing.

If Himeyasu had truly known about his teacher's situation, he would have reported it to his two fellow disciples long ago, and he could have also informed his teacher's wife.

"Zhanzi, stop hiding it from me. What you said about the resurrection of the witch should actually be the resurrection of the demon king."

It was a magic trick designed by the teacher, but because it was too bloody and could unleash the deepest desires in people's hearts, the teacher sealed it away in his notebook.

If you hadn't gotten your hands on the teacher's notebook, you could never have come up with such a bloody magic trick; it's just like your personality.

You'd better tell us where the teacher is right now. He's been away from home for ten years; we should be asking him to come back.

Hime Nagareko hadn't expected that his impromptu magic performance would become a flaw, but she didn't panic at all. Instead, she slowly said to Hoshigawa Dogo:

"Xinghe, I don't think the teacher's return at this time will have any positive impact on us."

After all, he had disappeared for ten years, and his magic tricks were completely outdated.

If you want that magic notebook, I can give it to you and make you the teacher's official mail sender.

Moreover, I only stole his magic notebook; I didn't do anything else to him.

He was the one who couldn't think straight and wanted to run away from home; it had nothing to do with me.

At this point, Hime Nagawara completely absolved herself of any responsibility, claiming that her teacher's departure had nothing to do with her and was solely due to her own irresponsibility.

"You know that the teacher takes that notebook very seriously."

"You, as his disciple, stole his own notebook. You're bound to be upset. Do you think you bear no responsibility whatsoever?"

Hime Nagare wanted to completely shirk responsibility, but Hoshikawa Dogo, of course, was unwilling and directly pinned the blame on her again.

"Xinghe, actually, I stole that notebook entirely for the teacher's sake."

As a magician, the fact that I stole his notebook without him realizing it shows that his perception and predictive abilities have begun to decline.

In other words, as a magician, having lost these two things, he is not far from retirement.

So, the teacher should still maintain her "runaway" status, and then the three of us can perform together on stage. Maybe that will generate more buzz and viewership, pointing us in more directions for our future careers.

Hime Nagare spoke these words in a completely indifferent tone, lacking any warmth that one should have as a person of substance.

Xinghe Tongwu was very angry because, in his mind, their teacher was already like a father figure.

They should be treated well, as they are taught everything about magic.

Even if their teacher's two abilities were flawed, as a disciple, you should retire with your teacher.

Instead of stealing the teacher's most important notebook, which led to the teacher leaving home and being out of contact for ten years, this is a completely unfilial act.

Seeing Himeyasu's nonchalant statement, Hoshigawa Tougo couldn't contain his anger and immediately walked over to a vase.

He picked up the vase on the stool, intending to use it to solve the mystery of Himeyasu Nobuko's name.

“Xinghe, I’m doing this entirely for your sake. The reason I have such a great reputation abroad is because I know how to manage traffic…”

Himeyasu turned around, wanting to persuade Hoshikawa Dogo to be on the same boat as her.

But she immediately noticed that Hoshigawa Tongwu was about to smash a vase at her, which made her heart skip a beat.

Takayanagi Ichiro had said before that he was going to die, could it be that his death is about to come true?

"I told you, you were already on the verge of death."

Just as Hoshigawa Dogo's vase was about to smash into Himeyasu Nobuko's forehead, Takayanagi Ichiro's voice suddenly appeared in the room again.

This caused the vase in Hoshikawa Tongwu's hand to deviate, and it failed to hit anyone.

Even so, Himeyasu was still startled by Hoshikawa Dogo, and collapsed to the ground.

Hime Naga no Tsukasa did not expect that Hoshikawa Dogo really wanted to kill her, just because of Takayanagi Ichiro.

After Takayanagi Ichiro stopped her previous angry attack, it would take immense courage for her to lift the vase and smash Himeyasu Nobuko to death again.

Hoshigawa Dogo, however, lacked the courage to do so. He could only turn around and look at Takayanagi Ichiro speechlessly.

"Mr. Gao Liu..."

If Ichiro Takayanagi hadn't suddenly appeared, he would have definitely killed Nobuko Himena and avenged his teacher, Yoshito Masakage.

Chapter 619 You'll be arrested soon.

Hoshikawa Tongwu wasn't angry now, but rather terrified. If he had really killed Himeyasu Nobuko in one fell swoop, he would still have to clean up the mess.

Moreover, regardless of the circumstances, they had learned magic in this family back then, so there was still some foundation of friendship between them.

"If you think that killing her directly will solve all the problems, then you can continue."

Even if I were in this room, I wouldn't stop you.

Takayanagi Ichiro made no attempt to stop Hoshikawa Dogo, nor did he try to help Himeya Nobuko up. Instead, he quietly waited for Hoshikawa Dogo to make his choice.

No matter what, Hoshikawa Tongwu is a person with some reputation, and he knows how to make the right choice.

Himeyasuko regained consciousness at this time, but she did not sit up from the ground.
