"What does that have to do with me?" Dimitri Vatra spread his hands dismissively.

"Please don't joke around. Your purpose in visiting Itogami City couldn't possibly be to contact the teacher, as you're saying, could it?"

"No, no, no, that is my main purpose, but I did forget to mention something."

Dimitri Vatra glanced at the time and smiled broadly: "I'm here to pay my respects. After all, this demon special zone is the territory of the Fifth True Ancestor. I plan to greet you first, because I might cause you trouble soon."

Shichen ignored him, casting his gaze towards the distant sea. Himeragi Yukina, however, asked, "What trouble?"

“Shichen, have you ever heard of the name Christopher Joan of Arc?” Demetrius Vatra asked Shichen.

Shi Chen withdrew his gaze and replied calmly, "I remember he was a retired soldier from the War King Domain, right? He's a somewhat notorious terrorist in Europe."

"As expected of the Fifth True Ancestor, he knows so much." Dimitri Vatra couldn't help but praise.

"Stop talking nonsense, why did you bring him up?"

Dimitri Vatra, unfazed, continued, “In the past, he was a member of the radical group Black Death Royalists, and about ten years ago, he caused the deaths and injuries of more than four hundred people during the occupation of the Prague National Theatre.”

"What?" Himeragi Yukina's expression turned serious upon hearing this.

"Hasn't the Black Death Emperor's faction already collapsed?" Shi Chen asked.

“That’s right, I killed them all, but Jade Xiu survived from that Black Death Emperor faction... Not only that, the remnants of the Black Death Emperor faction hired him as their new leader. They invited Jade Xiu, who had left a great legacy as a terrorist.”

"So, your purpose in coming to Itogami Island is related to Jadesh?" Toki asked casually.

"As expected of the Fifth True Ancestor, he is indeed clever. Intelligence indicates that Jade Xiu has infiltrated this island with his subordinates from the Black Death Emperor's faction."

"What? Why would European radicals specifically come to this island?" Yukina Himeragi interjected.

“Who knows?” Dimitri Vatra shrugged, clearly feigning ignorance.

Saya Kirasaka, who had been silent all along, spoke up calmly: "The Black Death Emperor faction are orc supremacists with discriminatory views. Their goal is to completely destroy the Sanctuary Treaty and to seize control of the War King's Domain from the First Progenitor."

“I see.” Yukina Himeragi nodded, understanding what Dimitri Vatra meant.

Itogami Island, a special zone for demons, is a city established under the Sanctuary Treaty. If they were to start an uprising in this city, it would be of extraordinary significance, leaving the world with the impression that the Black Death Emperor's faction is still alive and well.

“Japan isn’t the only country with a special zone for demons. There must be other reasons why they’re coming to Itogami Island,” Sayaka Kirasaka continued.

"Other reasons?"

“Perhaps…” Dimitri Vatra

Vatra's tone became excited.

"What means will they acquire to defeat the True Ancestor? After all, their ultimate goal is to kill the First True Ancestor."

“Teacher…” Himeragi Yukina looked nervously at Tokichi.

If the Black Death Emperor faction can obtain the means to defeat the True Ancestor, it means that their existence will pose a threat to all other vampires, including Toki.

After all, in her eyes, he was also the true ancestor.

"Don't worry, no amount of tricks will work on me," Shi Chen reassured him.

"Stop bragging." Saya Kirasaka pouted and retorted.

"I think you're asking for a beating," Shi Chen glared at her.

"It's itchy..." Saya Kirasaka thought of what Shichen had done to her again, and couldn't help but take a step back, covering her back with her hands.

"Hmm?" Himeragi Yukina noticed his action and frowned.

Speaking of which, the teacher once hit Sha Shihua. How did she hit her?

“Shi Chen, you’re so confident, I’d like to see your true strength.” Dimitri Vatra stared at Shi Chen with burning eyes.

To be honest, no one has ever witnessed his true strength. All that is known is that on the night of the Flame Banquet, the magical power he displayed was incredibly vast, and the pressure from his familiars was earth-shattering.

His only achievement was devouring the Fourth True Ancestor; as for his true strength, no one has ever seen it.

"Heh~ Didn't you just witness it? But I advise you to give up that idea, or you won't even know how you died," Shi Chen warned coldly.

“It would be worth dying at the hands of the Fifth Ancestor,” Dimitri Vatra replied nonchalantly, his tone even tinged with anticipation.

“He’s beyond saving…” Tokishi shook his head and changed the subject, asking, “So you came to Itogami Island to kill Christopher Juddich?”

"No, that guy isn't easy to find, and I find it too much trouble. Unless you allow my familiars to burn down the entire city, that would easily take care of him, but... you probably wouldn't agree to that, Shichen, would you?"

"You can try," Shi Chen replied, seemingly unrelated to the question, but the threat was clear.

"Never mind, I don't want to upset you, Shichen."

Dimitri Vatra shook his head with a smile: "However, if Jadshu comes to me wanting to kill me, I can't just not fight back, can I? That's called exercising the right to self-defense, right?"

"Looks like you're not bad at all," Shi Chen complimented.

Dimitri Vatra just said that he killed the leader of a radical group called the Black Death Emperors, so he is their enemy, and the remnants of the Black Death Emperors will definitely seek revenge on him.

If Jadsh really did obtain the power to kill the True Ancestor, and Demetrius Vatra is currently in Itogami Island Harbor, he would definitely come looking for him first.

This was his true purpose in coming to Itogami Island.

"I see. So your goal is to provoke the terrorists and lure them out?" Himeragi Yukina finally understood.

“No, no, no, if I had to say what the purpose is, it is to see my beloved Shichen.” Dimitri Vatra shook his head in denial, his eyes filled with love as he looked at Shichen.

"Don't look at me like that, unless you want your eyes out."

Shi Chen warned expressionlessly, "Also, this is my territory, I don't need your help."

"That's right!"

Himeragi Yukina stood beside Tokimitsu, her small face earnest as she followed the declaration: "Lord Ordiaru, thank you for your kindness, but this is a matter for Itogami Island. I will work with my teacher to take down the remnants of the Black Death Emperor's faction."

"Eh? Yukina!" Kirasaka Sayaka exclaimed in surprise.

Chapter 428 mainly focuses on a love of helping others (two chapters combined).

"Our Itogami Island... Yukina, that's what you just said, right?"

On the way back, Shichen looked at Himeragi Yukina walking beside him with a serious expression and teased her.

"Yes, is there a problem?" Himeragi Yukina asked in confusion.

"Heh~ Itogami Island is mine. Since you said 'ours,' what exactly do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean... Um! Teacher, please don't misunderstand! That's not what I meant!" Himeragi Yukina thought for a moment, then immediately realized what the time referred to and quickly denied it.

After all, according to the meaning of the time, only if she and he were together, inseparable, could they say that.

It made it seem like she had confessed her feelings.

"Is that really not what you meant?"

"Of course not! Teacher, you're here again." Himeragi Yukina said with a serious little face.

“But even if I don’t think so, it seems like Sashika and the others think so too.”

"Eh?"

"Otherwise, why do you think she was so surprised just now? You should know that in the minds of ordinary people, Itogami Island belongs to me."

"No wonder Sashika... But, but that's not what I meant!" Himeragi Yukina became flustered, her words even a little stammering.

"Then what do you mean?"

"I just thought that since both my teacher and I are on Itogami Island, it's our Itogami Island..." Himeragi Yukina explained softly, biting her lip.

"So that's how it is. I thought Setsuna was just confessing her feelings to me," Toki said sadly, deeply hurt.

"Teacher, please don't do this. I don't believe you."

"Eh? Why?"

"Hmph! It's one thing for the teacher to have ambiguous relationships with Aurora and the others, but there's also Senior Aiba, Natsune, Nagisa... The teacher is such a womanizer, there's no way I could like him."

When the names of those girls were mentioned, Yukina Himeragi couldn't help but get angry. There were so many of them!

"I'm innocent! They and I are all innocent."

"Teachers can only fool naive girls, no... more like naive lolis. Anyway, I won't fall for it."

"..."

Who exactly spread the rumor that he's a lolicon?

If he finds her, he'll kill the man on the spot and beat the woman until her buttocks are swollen.

"Teacher, let's not talk about that now. That Watra might have some designs on you... I don't mean anything romantic." Himeragi Yukina changed the subject and said seriously.

“Of course I know… By the way, did you know he’s known as the vampire closest to the True Ancestor?” Shichen asked.

"The vampire closest to the True Ancestor? What does that mean?"

"That guy devoured two elders of higher rank than himself, and is a third-generation vampire whose status is second only to the True Ancestor."

"Devour...a fellow vampire? That guy actually did such a thing?" Himeragi Yukina was shocked, recalling Vatra's kind and friendly smile just now, she really couldn't believe it.

But she believed Shi Chen's words more.

"That's why he's called the closest to the True Ancestor. So when he says he loves me deeply, he's actually thinking of devouring me so he can become the True Ancestor completely," Shi Chen said calmly.

"In that case, teacher, you'd better be careful."

“No need for that. That guy has gotten a bit bolder since he hasn’t seen my strength before… Should I find an opportunity to show the world my strength?” Shichen asked Himeragi Yukina with a smile.

"No need, teacher, this is fine. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will cause panic among the common people," Himeragi Yukina decisively refused.

"It's not that exaggerated, I'm a good person."

I was talking about the girls.

"Huh?" Shi Chen was stunned for a moment, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

He's still too kind. Should we find a chance to let Setsuna know how terrifying he is?

Just like the loss of beauty in the gauze, it made her afraid to say things directly in the future.

However, if he did that, Tokiomi felt that Himeragi Yukina would only push her luck further.

Given her rigid personality, she's already suffered enough, so there's no need for her to hold back anymore.

Himeragi Yukina had no idea what Toki was thinking. She continued her analysis, "According to what you're saying, Master, Vatra's real purpose is actually to seduce you into attacking him?"
