I am a female swordsman.

The way of the sword in the underworld is in that sword!

Just then, light footsteps echoed from the hallway outside the door. The footsteps were so light and pleasant to the ear—the footsteps of the returning [Sword Demon]! Akira Mado and Igarashi instinctively rushed to the door and slammed it shut! After closing the door, they looked at each other and realized they had done something foolish!

What should we do next?

"Hide!"

If there's no way to explain it, then you can only hide for now and sneak away from the balcony or somewhere else. In short, as long as you're not caught red-handed, how could someone as gentle and kind as Lord Huang Quan possibly hold a grudge? Ideally, you could also take away Lord Huang Quan's worn clothes!

Chapter 133 Compensation

Anything can happen unexpectedly.

Even the place I trust the most is no exception...

When Huang Quan pushed open her bedroom door, she immediately felt a strong sense of unease. Everything seemed normal; [Kekus] was lying obediently on the table in the small living room, [Galoya] was also quietly sitting to the side, and [Tamos] was nowhere to be seen, seemingly having run outside.

besides……

"Ok?"

Looking at the impeccably clean room, Huang Quan began to doubt her own memories.

Before she secretly went out, this place was a complete mess, like a doghouse. How come it's so clean now that she's gone for a stroll? And what are those demons up to? They're usually so lively and cheerful, why are they lying here so still, like they're dead?

"strangeness……"

The swordsman's intuition told Huang Quan that something was amiss, but strangely, he felt no real danger. Had someone broken in?

Where are they hiding?

A room? A toilet? Or... a more secluded place?

The CCG's temporary apartment layout wasn't particularly complex, and the area was relatively small, so hiding a living person in such a room wasn't an easy task. Confident in his superior combat skills, Huang Quan directly took his beloved sword hanging on the wall, his eyes gleaming with a fierce light, intending to find this reckless intruder.

Clang!

The sound of a sword being drawn echoed in the room. Even though they hadn't witnessed Yomi drawing her sword, both Igarashi and Mado Akira, who were hiding separately, felt a chill run down their spines.

I'm going to be killed!!

Hidden inside the built-in wardrobe, Akira Mado instinctively held her breath, trying to calm her racing heart. Luckily, Yomi's wardrobe didn't have many clothes, so she could barely hide inside. But come to think of it... why did she even bother hiding in the first place?! Why didn't she just explain?! It's all that idiot Igarashi's fault!

'Well, I can't really blame her. Breaking into someone's room dressed like that... Ugh! Oh no! She's coming this way!'

Although the footsteps were barely audible, the vibrations from their landings were still quite noticeable. Instinctively shrinking back, Akira Mado, sweating with nervousness, suddenly bumped into something glaringly foreign. In the dim, cramped space, she glanced down and saw a horrifying scene that made her heart stop.

Amidst a pile of messy clothes, a white human face was staring intently upwards at her...

"ghost!!"

Startled, Akira Mado rushed out of the closet. Her usually calm and composed face was filled with deep fear. She instinctively threw herself into the arms in front of her and clung to her tightly like an octopus!

"Mado, second class...?" A hand caught Mado Akira from below. Yomi had almost slashed out with her sword just now. If she hadn't stopped in time, Mado Akira would probably be lying on the ground in two pieces by now.

"Yes, there are! There's a human face inside!"

"Don't worry, there's no such thing."

"You're lying! I saw it with my own eyes!"

The usually composed Akira Mado was thrown into disarray by the dramatic ups and downs. She clutched Yomi's shirt tightly, unwilling to turn around and look at the wardrobe that had left such a strong impression on her in the darkness. She wouldn't normally be in such a state, but already under pressure from Yomi, she was suddenly subjected to another threat. The double shock made it difficult for her to control herself, and she clung to Yomi with all her might.

"Calm down, get down!"

Seeing that she couldn't get Mado Akira off, Huang Quan raised an eyebrow. Because it was so close to her body, she hadn't noticed that Mado Akira's pajamas had a big tear in them, so she simply grabbed the clothes and pulled hard.

Hiss!

The entire half of Mado Akira's pajamas was violently ripped off by Huang Quan, completely exposing her milky-white back with a healthy pink hue. His crimson eyes narrowed slightly. This woman, the teacher's daughter, why does she have the habit of not wearing a bra under her pajamas?

"I will make it up to you."

Yomi subtly observed Mado Nidou, whose face was flushed red. She hadn't expected that the mature and elegant Mado Akira, known for her "ice beauty" persona, would have such a feminine side. Mado Akira, whose greyish-purple eyes were glaring upwards at Yomi, wished she could bury her face in her ample bosom.

Fortunately, it was Huang Quan, the notoriously aloof "Sword Demon." If it were anyone else, Mado Akira would probably have gone berserk instead of just trying to stay calm.

"Anyway, wear my clothes first."

"size……"

"Don't worry, the chest area might be a little loose, but everything else should be fine."

Having finally managed to pull Akira Mado off him, Huang Quan tossed her onto the bed and headed to the wardrobe. As soon as he opened the wardrobe, Huang Quan understood what the so-called human face was all about.

“It’s a newspaper.” Huang Quan had a habit of using newspapers to line his wardrobe, to avoid mentioning that his clothes were in direct contact with it. Mado Akira, hidden inside the wardrobe, was startled by the black-and-white photo on the newspaper. Huang Quan took out a white shirt he usually wore at home and handed it to Mado Akira, who hesitated, wrapped in a blanket.

"Don't worry, I have very good hygiene habits. Just wash it and return it to me after you've worn it."

We'll have to wait until she's dressed before we can interrogate her.

"Thank you." Although it felt a bit strange to only wear a shirt on my upper body, and it was so loose that I had to pull the collar down from time to time, at least I didn't have to wear those tattered strips of cloth anymore.

"Let's talk now, Mado Ninja. It's around 11:20 PM. What gave you the right to break into my room? Don't you know how dangerous it is? You could die if you're not careful." The demon guarding the house was no pushover, and Yomi, whose room had been invaded, implicitly considered him an enemy. If she had accidentally killed her teacher's daughter, Yomi couldn't imagine how she would face Mado Kureo.

Perhaps having calmed down, Akira Mado's eyes lit up as she regained her usual composure.

"This was a last resort. We were afraid something might happen to Yomi Sanji because Igarashi-san had been calling for him for a long time without getting a response. That's why we resorted to this." With that, Mado Akira revealed the culprit. This combination of diverting attention and providing a plausible excuse successfully hit Yomi Sanji.

"And there's Igarashi too?!"

"That's right... Why hasn't she come out yet?" When Mado Akira mentioned Igarashi, she felt a burning hatred. If it weren't for that bastard, she wouldn't have lost her composure and made such a fool of herself in front of Yomi.

Suddenly, Huang Quan seemed to remember something and quickly walked towards the living room, with Mado Akira following closely behind.

Igarashi's hiding place was somewhat unexpected.

balcony……

She dangled from the edge of the balcony with one hand, her other hand clutching tightly to Huang Quan's plain, conservative underwear. Just as she was feeling smug, Huang Quan's cold, beautiful face suddenly appeared before her!

Startled, Igarashi involuntarily let go of the hand that was hanging there!

Chapter 134 Minor Injury

Given the training and physical condition of the investigators, even if they fell from the third floor, there shouldn't be any danger.

But I don't want to see disappointment and disgust in that person's eyes...

If the gods could truly hear her thoughts at this moment, please bless her and prevent her from being despised and treated as a pervert by Lord Yomi. Just thinking about losing Lord Yomi in her future life makes everything seem meaningless. That's right! Lord Yomi is the god of Igarashi Kamui!

I dare not look at the expression on Huang Quan's face.

Clutching her simple underwear to her chest, Igarashi closed her eyes as she plummeted, her expression devout and solemn. Suddenly! The feeling of weightlessness vanished!

Snapped! !

"Gotcha!"

A voice as beautiful as heavenly music reached her ears, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the serene and beautiful face of Lady Yomi. At that moment, Igarashi seemed to see a holy light shining behind Yomi, just like when she saw her in District 7, which captivated her deeply.

"Well……"

Huang Quan turned his head and looked back, hooking one foot on the balcony in such a dangerous move.

The point of application of force was a little off, but it's still acceptable.

"Come on up!"

With a shout, using the momentum gained in that instant, Igarashi was pulled up, and both of them safely returned to the balcony. However, Igarashi landed steadily, while Yomi stumbled and fell to the ground, a hint of surprise flashing in her usually calm, scarlet eyes.

Igarashi, who had just landed, immediately let out a terrified scream!

"Lord Huangquan!"

In his haste to catch Igarashi, Yomi's foot caught on the edge of the balcony. The balcony, paved with beautiful marble, had a rather sharp edge, resulting in a large, severe cut on Yomi's instep. The initial impact also caused bruising all around the wound!

At first glance, it was truly shocking!

However, Huang Quan herself wasn't too alarmed. It was just a minor injury, and with her constitution, she would recover completely in three or four days after treatment. Compared to the injuries she had sustained in battles against various ferocious ghouls, this was nothing to worry about.

………………

"I am filled with immense grief that my lowly life has caused harm to Lord Huangquan's noble body. My sins are so grave that even entering the deepest hell would not be enough to atone for them. This grief is beyond comprehension, Lord Huangquan, please punish me! Otherwise, my conscience will not be at peace!"

Kneeling on the living room floor with her forehead pressed against the ground, Igarashi Kamui's intense grief left no doubt that if Yomi asked her to commit suicide now to atone for her sins, she would gladly go through with it.

The one who helped Huang Quan treat his wounds was Mado Ni-san.

To be honest, when she saw Huang Quan's jade-like foot with a large, bloody gash, and how she walked in step by step with bloody footprints as if nothing had happened, Mado Akira mistakenly thought she had seen her father.

It was when I was very young, around twelve or thirteen years old.

Back then, he didn't care how badly he was injured fighting ghouls, rushing home to take care of her. Sometimes he was so busy that he forgot to treat his wounds, not even noticing the bleeding. It was exactly the same attitude. I saw my father in [Sword Demon]. No wonder he is my father Mado Kureo's disciple.

"Get up from the ground, Igarashi-san."

"No! Please punish me!"

"In that case, let's kill a few more ghouls. It doesn't matter what breed or age they are, just help me wipe them out completely." Ning Jing's eyes conveyed an undeniable firm will. Huang Quan's attitude was clearly somewhat distant and rejecting, but this was no different from the person she always presented.

Yomi always had mixed feelings about Igarashi.

She had fought alongside him, striving to become a "Sword Demon." Igarashi, without a female swordsman system, had reached her current position through her own efforts, becoming a "Raven." Yomi wondered if this was her insignificant contribution to the world.

How should I face Igarashi, who is chasing after me?

"Yes!! For you, I will kill every single one of those bastards!" When he mentioned killing ghouls, an unnatural, ferocious glint flashed in Igarashi's eyes behind his glasses.

That's right! Lord Huang Quan's order is this: Kill them all!

"Also, give me back my underwear right now."

Huang Quan's brows suddenly furrowed, causing Mado Akira's foot, which she was tending to, to twitch involuntarily. Hearing Huang Quan's flat tone about returning the underwear, Mado Akira's movements while tending to her wound faltered, hurting Huang Quan.

"This one……"

"Don't make me say it a second time."

"it is good."

Reluctantly handing over the plain underwear she had been clutching tightly, Igarashi looked at the pristine white underwear with a small red bow on it and couldn't help but imagine what Yomi-sama would look like wearing this style of underwear.

I really want to see.
