He's a crossover character in anime/manga, and basically just very despicable.

Although Japan has very strict regulations on student part-time jobs, as long as you don't give up, there are always more solutions than problems, right?

Back then, in order to raise funds to make R18 games with his friends, Dan Masamune concealed his real age and worked as a singer at this bar. His hit song "JUSTICE" was a hit with many people and brought him a lot of money.

"Senior Xia Zhi Qiu... Ying Tai..."

Youth is as fleeting as summer; you can't catch summer by catching a cicada. Memories of the past will resurface, and before you have time to grieve, letters from friends become increasingly polite, yet the distance between you grows ever wider.

After graduating from high school, the friends went their separate ways to pursue their own lives.

Xia Zhi Qiu, a senior student who excels at writing, was admitted to Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Letters. Eita, who comes from the wealthy Sawamura family, returned home to inherit the family business. Kato Suzume, an ordinary person, found an ordinary job and married an ordinary wife. Meanwhile, he worked hard and founded this のvol game company.

The character のvol reflected in the mirror becomes 'love,' symbolizing his love for the game. This is also why Dan Masamune chose a mirror as his logo.

He was willing to sacrifice everything for his company and his game, which is why he made the crazy move of assassinating Azami Kurosaki.

However, he succumbed to Kurosaki Azami's overwhelming power and evil.

Although Kurosaki Azami did not insult his hard work, he was still ashamed of his cowardice—not because he couldn't beat Kurosaki Azami, but because he didn't have the courage to protect his game.

"So, this is the last time I'll ever get drunk."

The strong, spicy whiskey went down my throat, and the glass slammed heavily on the bar.

"Although I am very sorry to Brother Inugami, I had no choice but to do it."

Damn the Shinomiya family... those two game cartridges must be discontinued!

——————————————————The Crimson King——————————————————————————————

"Is this... another case of sleeping until almost evening?"

Upon waking this time, the ceiling in my eyes was extremely familiar—this was the lord's bedroom of the Thistle Demon Mansion.

"Traversing the barriers between worlds is not such a simple matter."

Instead of wearing a formal black suit that exuded majesty, Lucifer walked in wearing a red casual shirt and a black apron, his long white hair tied in a bun. Behind him, a golden statue carried a pot of porridge and several side dishes.

"Just like jet lag when traveling internationally, traveling around the world is not an easy thing. It's normal that this is your first time—even I don't have the ability to travel around the world; it's the privilege of a few strong individuals."

As a demon king who had long wanted to defy fate, Lucifer had naturally done some research.

A select few strong individuals...

"The person who allowed you to contact me before was that kind of powerful individual, and he was the one who sent you back, right?"

Lucifer could clearly sense the changes in Azami Kurosaki—although she was extremely exhausted and grieving, she had grown considerably in both body and spirit.

"I don't know exactly what you went through in that world, and I won't tell you not to be sad."

Sitting on the side of the bed, she gently embraced Kurosaki Azami, burying his face in her cleavage.

"But whether you want to cry or whatever, I'll be there for you, but remember one thing."

Once you've finished crying, that's it. You're no longer alone, Kurosaki Azami.

"After nightfall tomorrow, whether it's me, the pink-haired girl, or the Passionate and Hyakki families, we all need you. No one can replace you."

"Thank you, Lucifer."

Due to the obstruction, Azami Kurosaki's voice sounded muffled, but it was not without determination.

After a long while, the two parted ways.

"I'll go out now. I'll take care of the children. Remember to eat."

Unwittingly playing the role of a mother, Lucifer put down the food, took the statue, and left, closing the door behind her.

"How is it, Sister Lucifer?"

The moment the door closed, Fujiwara Chika rushed over—she had already forgotten how many times she had paced back and forth in front of Kurosaki Azami's bedroom.

"It's nothing, I'm just feeling down from all the stress. I'll be fine after tonight. By the way, are the kids all resting?"

"Time to rest."

"That's good."

Sitting on the sofa, Lucifer breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Kurosaki Azami is not a "good person" at all, he has always hoped to be a good father.

Although he once said, "The invincible one is the God of War, not the father," in the eyes of a child, which father isn't invincible?

No matter what Ji thinks, I can't break this impression.

"Whoosh—Bang!"

The two demons looked up and saw the air currents streaking across the sky, shimmering with strange light in the reflection of the blood moon, accompanied by a deafening roar.

The Twenty-One-Shot Dengdua Fist.

This is Azami Kurosaki's salute, a tribute to his benefactor at his funeral.

"Bring me paper and pen."

The statue, as instructed, stepped outside, its blank gaze fixed on its two mistresses.

"Now there's no problem, Chika-chan."

Lucifer smiled when he saw Kurosaki Azami already working through the crack in the door.

Sure enough, the moment the boy turned into a man, he was very handsome.

"Let's go, Chika-chan, the statues have already prepared our room."

Let's just bear with it for the next few days and let you off the hook for now.

Then, I'll squeeze every last drop out of you.

"What did you say, Bucciarati?"

An incredulous shout suddenly came from the bedroom.

"Dan Masamune has disappeared?"

Chapter 231 Prime Minister Abe!

Before Kurosaki Azami is shocked by the news of Dan Masamune's disappearance, let's rewind to the day before Kurosaki Azami woke up (the day after his return).

"The Love of the Furry, The Seven Days of a Yandere, The Legend of the Train Wolf... More and more games are becoming out of print."

Twenty minutes before Kurosaki Azami received the message, Dan Masamune was sitting alone in his office at novol.

After being personally reprimanded by Azami Kurosaki last time, Masamune Dan became more obedient. He not only participated in combat missions assigned by the organization, but also cooperated with the Ministry of Industry's orders—of course, he certainly didn't have access to core secrets.

Looking at the game cartridge lying in his palm, Dan Masamune wore a mocking smile—a smile mocking his own powerlessness.

"I am the GM! I am the GM!"

Like almost all villains, Dan Masamune harbors a certain element that can be described as "arrogance" or "possessiveness".

In his view, games can be discontinued, but it must be his own decision... For the sake of his dream game, appropriately discontinuing certain other games is a price he can pay.

However, that dream was stolen by a villain...

After creating a prequel for that "dream game" and working tirelessly for three days to develop its prototype, his cartridge was somehow imbued with the power of a knight and became a tool for vying for power!

"Although it's just a prototype, as a GM, I still have great respect and anticipation for the cartridge that I poured my life's blood into."

Since the day the power of the knights descended, the prototype cartridge of the fantasy game has been missing, but the power it contained even made Dan Masamune, who had the ability to stop time, tremble.

But will any parents tremble at the sight of their baby's strength?

Even if there are any, they are out of joy for the child's strength and anticipation for the child's growth.

“I’m already in my fifties, and when my body’s response to butter declined to this extent, I knew that I had lived a long and fulfilling life.”

However, I must see the completion of the "final work" with my own eyes.

"【The Complete Fantasy Harem Series】...That is the perfect embodiment of my life's work, a dream I've had for thirty years. The knightly power it contains must be incredibly strong..."

Gazing towards Kyoto, Dan Masamune's expression was extremely distorted—a palette of emotions including pity, resentment, and anticipation, even more so than the madwomen of Hyakka-o.

"Its power awaits its awakening... Once awakened, it will be a miracle etched in the history of adult games, the ultimate Kamen Rider... What a pity, such a gem has been wasted..."

Looking up at his lion figurine, Dan Masamune laughed maniacally and sinisterly.

I know someone tampered with this ornament—which is understandable, since I'm planning to murder the "boss," so being secretly monitored should be the bare minimum I'd be treated.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all—as long as it's for the ultimate game, anything goes.

I don't care about my own fate, I don't care about my boss's orders, and I don't care about other people's lives!

"I don't know who said it, but the flower of freedom needs to be watered with blood, and so does my ultimate game... but the premise is that it is still 'my game'."

If it falls into the wrong hands, it must be taken back…

The activation time stopped, and Dan Masamune took out the material he had secretly prepared—a video of himself working in his office—and recorded it into the surveillance camera during that time.

Ten seconds later, time began to flow.

Tan Masamune was still in his office, typing on his keyboard—but the real him was no longer there.

——————————————————Back to the present————————————————

"What did you say? Dan Masamune is missing?"

Shortly after starting to handle the matter, Kurosaki Azami received a brain communication from Bucciarati and learned of the news.

"Private Marseille, boss..."

Kurosaki Azami maintains a strict secrecy system within the Passionate Organization. His relationship with Dan Masamune is kept strictly confidential, and even the department heads are not fully aware of it.

Normally things were fine, but when Kurosaki Azami "returned home," the drawbacks of this strict secrecy and overly centralized system became apparent—his subordinates only knew that "it was necessary to monitor Dan Masamune," but they did not fully appreciate his importance.

Bucciarati was aware of the situation, but Azami Kurosaki's coma meant he needed to expend considerable energy stabilizing the situation and also handle an important task—

"Let's not talk about that now, Bucciarati, has the assassination mission against Abe Shinzan been completed?"

"Done. Kenji Kuroshima did a very clean job."

As the main force behind the movement to ban the royal sex industry, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has long been a thorn in the side of the passionate organization. But how easy is it to kill a country's prime minister?

Although the Japanese police force is secretly controlled by the Passionate Organization, it wouldn't be difficult for Risotto to take Abe's head from among a large army. However, such a major case as assassinating the prime minister cannot be closed hastily. If the murderer cannot be found, Japan's international influence, which is secretly held by Azami Kurosaki, will be greatly diminished.
