"Huh? You want to use me to fill in your damn ritual? What are you dreaming of?"

Tomie was so angry her head almost jumped out of her skin.

"I can't just grab any innocent passerby, Ah Lin will be unhappy."

Tomie Kawakami blinked, revealing an innocent little expression.

"So, we have to sacrifice one of our own kind, since you won't die anyway, right? Please help me out."

Despite saying that, Tomie Kawakami's eyes were filled with malice.

"Help you my ass! You actually want to use me as material?! Who would accept something like that?!"

Tomie bared her teeth, as if she wanted to bite Kawakami Tomie.

"Hehe, let's go, Ah Lin."

With a radiant smile, Kawakami Tomie took Amamiya Rin's arm and walked out with light steps.

Amamiya Rin was half-dragged, half-pulled out of the apartment building by Tomie.

The streets were just waking up in the morning light, the dampness of the night still lingering on the pavement.

Tomie walked ahead, her skirt swaying gently with each step, like a white cloud blown by the wind. Pedestrians and students passing by couldn't help but follow her with their eyes, and even after they had passed, they would turn back to look.

Tomie's smile became even more radiant, like a blooming rose, exuding an irresistible charm.

Such beauty naturally attracts bees and butterflies.

"Good morning! Miss, may I buy you a coffee? I know a really good shop up ahead."

A black sedan pulled up on the side of the road ahead. A young man in a suit with slicked-back hair got out and stood in front of Tomie, a polite yet arrogant smile on his face.

Tomie's smile remained unchanged. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Amamiya Rin beside her with her clear, innocent eyes.

"Oh dear, you'll have to ask my boyfriend first if you want to invite me."

The man who had struck up the conversation then noticed Yu Gonglin standing next to him. He looked Yu Gonglin up and down, and when he saw that Yu Gonglin was using a cane, his expression became even more arrogant, and his tone became contemptuous.

"Boyfriend? Your legs don't look very nimble. Would you like a ride in my car? Do you really expect such a beautiful girl to walk so slowly with you?"

He raised his hand and casually pointed to the black sedan parked next to him.

However, inside that black sedan, in the passenger seat, sat a beautiful woman with waist-length hair.

Although the girl was beautiful, she had a very gentle and weak temperament, and seemed to be the kind of girl who would accept whatever fate brought her. When she saw her male companion going to chat up other girls, she just sat in the car and cast a resentful look at Kawakami Tomie and the man.

However, even so, isn't it a bit too much for this man to flirt with Tomie Kawakami in front of his female companion?

It's a terrifying charm; after changing its skin, the curse of the Apologetic Demon seems to have truly been broken.

Amamiya Rin sighed almost imperceptibly and glanced at Kawakami Tomie.

Tomie was watching him with great interest, a hint of mockery in her eyes, wanting to see how Amamiya Rin would react.

Amamiya Rin looked at the man in the suit again, her eyes calm and devoid of emotion.

But the moment his gaze fixed on something, something changed.

The tired and slightly relaxed aura around him suddenly tightened, becoming focused and sharp, as if something had settled deep in the depths of his pupils.

A gaze, devoid of all distractions, fell upon the man's eyes, and in that instant, the hairs on the back of the man's neck inexplicably stood on end. It was as if something cold had brushed against his skin, a chilling sensation that made the words he had prepared suddenly get stuck in his throat.

Simple eyewitnessing techniques are quite effective against humans who don't need to take action.

"No need to worry, we have nothing urgent to do and plenty of time to take a walk."

Yu Gonglin lowered his eyes and said calmly.

When their eyes met, the man's tense body suddenly relaxed. He involuntarily took a step back, and his gaze towards Yu Gonglin became more suspicious and fearful.

"Walking? Walking is a good habit, why don't we go together?"

However, Tomie's charm was truly extraordinary, and even after being witnessed and threatened by Amamiya Rin, the man was unwilling to leave.

Blinded by lust?

Amamiya Rin couldn't help but look at this man in a new light. Could he be so brave for the sake of beauty?

"Tomie-kun, if you're free, let's take a walk together."

At this moment, the long-haired woman in the passenger seat of the car also got out. Her voice was soft and weak, and she looked obedient.

"Huh? Do you recognize me?"

Tomie Kawakami looked at the long-haired woman and raised an eyebrow.

"I'm Amano Qing, we're classmates in the same department, haven't you forgotten?"

Upon hearing Kawakami Tomie's question, the long-haired woman answered awkwardly, her expression somewhat embarrassed, as if she hadn't expected Kawakami Tomie not to recognize her.

"I'm not interested in ugly women's names."

Tomie Kawakami said without any politeness.

Before she could finish speaking, Amamiya Rin patted her back.

"Be polite."

Amamiya Rin glanced at Kawakami Tomie, her eyes revealing disapproval.

Regardless of whether the other person is ugly or not, he can't always be so rude, otherwise he would feel awkward walking with Tomie.

"You hit me! You actually hit me for this woman! I never imagined you would do something like this! Waaaaah!"

Tomie Kawakami opened her eyes wide, her voice trembling with tears, her eyes sparkling as if overflowing with joy, looking heartbroken and distressed.

However, how could Amamiya Rin, who was spiritually connected to Kawakami Tomie, be fooled by her expression?

This guy's mental state is a bit too excited after his appearance was restored.

Seeing Tomie's aggrieved expression, the man suddenly seemed to have seized on something, raising his voice several decibels as he indignantly accused Amamiya Rin.

"Hey! How could you be so violent towards a girl? Can't you talk things out? Miss Tomie is so delicate, how could you do this to her!"

Having said that, before Amamiya Rin could retort, he turned to Amano Qing, who was standing awkwardly to the side, and said reproachfully, "And you, Amano, since you are classmates, why didn't you greet each other and introduce yourselves earlier? You made Miss Tomie feel troubled, and even caused her to have a falling out with her friend because of it. Isn't that impolite of you? Miss Tomie's attitude was a bit too direct, I think it's also because you didn't introduce yourselves properly."

He spoke with righteous indignation, as if he were a just and righteous person upholding justice, and his gaze lingered on Tomie with concern.

Amano Qing blushed and paled at his words, biting her lip and lowering her head, twisting the hem of her clothes with her fingers, looking even more helpless.

However, Kawakami Tomie's tearful expression had vanished without a trace, replaced by undisguised contempt and mockery.

Instead of blaming Amamiya Rin as the man said, she hugged Amamiya Rin's arm.

"Huh? My boyfriend and I were just flirting, what are you babbling about?"

Upon hearing this, the man was completely stunned. The flattery he had prepared got stuck in his throat, and his expression froze on his face, making him look quite ridiculous.
