Knight Asylum

A little girl, no more than five years old, sat on a bench, looking up at the sky, her legs gently swaying back and forth.

Adults are dirty, children are always innocent, and children know nothing.

So no one blamed her for not telling the truth in court. Everyone was comforting her, and many people even came to the welfare home to give her gifts.

"Children don't lie. Ah~ There is no more ridiculous lie in the world than this. Adults have to lie because of life, but children... ha, even if there is no reason, they will naively smile and dismember insects. It's just a normal thing to lie. Even lie detectors have no effect on children."

The little girl raised her head, and a shadow spread. Igarashi Daiji was snapping his fingers and looking down at the little girl with a meaningful smile.

"No, the girl did lie, but you told her that Luca lured her to the basement. That's true, right?"

The little girl was silent for a moment and then spoke slowly.

"My mother... in order to become a so-called superior person, she became an ancient magician and took out a magic loan."

"If she didn't pay back the magic loan on time, she would be tortured by the ancient magician's belt on her body, so she tried every way to make money, such as false advertising and selling fake goods. Her clothing business, which was once quite good, plummeted."

"Next...she will definitely turn her attention to me."

"So that's how it is. Is that the case?" Mirage held his chin up and nodded.

"Are you going to blame me?" The little girl tilted her head and showed a sweet smile.

"Ha - how could that be? Scolding is to make you reflect on yourself, but when children cry, it doesn't mean they know they have done something wrong. They are just simply scared and want to use crying to arouse everyone's sympathy to cover up their mistakes."

Mirage folded his arms across his chest, leaned forward and approached the little girl.

"Children are closer to the devil than adults."

Chapter 717: Unlocking a New World of Visual Measurements

To celebrate the closing of the case that night, Red and the others met at the Happy Bathhouse.

"Come alive..."

There is nothing in the world that can relieve fatigue better than a hot bath. Since this opportunity is rare, they decided to have a back-rubbing session to deepen their friendship.

"Speaking of which..."

"what happened?"

"It feels like the two of us haven't been able to help at all this time."

Faced with Red's complaints, Hong Yin, who was rubbing Red's back, also fell silent.

"Ah, at least I carried Luca to a safe place. It was you who didn't help at all," Red suddenly realized, turned around and patted Hong Yinye's shoulder.

"I'm also going to the stage as a witness, okay?" Hong Yin also slowly turned around to help Kitaoka Shuichi wipe his back, "right, lawyer Kitaoka?"

"Of course," Kitaoka Shuichi raised his finger and waved it left and right.

"Thank you for helping me prove my innocence, Otona," said Luca, who was receiving a back rub from Kitaoka Shuichi.

"Damn it - I still feel like I've lost."

Hongyin grumbled unwillingly.

"I had planned to play the violin at the trial."

“Ah, speaking of which… Luca, is there any way to, ahem—get the other person’s size without him noticing?”

Seeing that the atmosphere had almost calmed down, Red coughed and whispered tentatively.

Kitaoka Shuichi and Hong Yin also stopped what they were doing at the same time and turned to look at Reid with shining eyes.

"Student Red, this is a science," Hong Yin coughed and patted Red on the shoulder, "As for me, I can know everyone's size just by visual inspection."

"Are you a pervert?!"

"Uh... sorry, I can do this, too," Luca, a professional fashion designer, said weakly, raising his hand.

"Ah, um... by the way, could you teach me this skill?" Red clasped his hands together.

"Hey~ Can't you just use a tape measure?" Kitaoka Hideichi held up his chin and smiled playfully, "Why? You don't dare?"

"Ahem!" Red coughed twice, crossed his arms over his chest, and raised his chin in a serious tone, "That's right! But I just don't want to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings."

However, it is easier to cause misunderstandings if you get custom-made clothes that fit you perfectly even though you never told them your size, rather than measuring them one by one.

Luca hesitated and opened his mouth to express his thoughts, but as soon as his mouth opened, Hongyin raised his hand to block Luca's face and looked at Reid with clear eyes.

"In that case, I will teach you this skill!"

"Really!"

"Of course - we are close friends with the same ideals!" Hong Yin also smiled brightly and raised her hand to hook Reid's shoulder, "First of all, you need to have enough space."

"Oh-oh——"

Under Hongyin's serious teaching, Reid quickly understood the principle of visually estimating the measurements, and he performed simulation exercises in his mind whether he was taking a sauna or a shower.

The transformation of Aguru's energy had already affected his brain, so he possessed an extraordinary sense of space. Even Luca felt that he was a genius at estimating his measurements by sight.

Even Luca, a professional, praised him so much. Red suddenly became very confident and couldn't wait to drive back to the Zhinao Group Building to use this skill.

As soon as he entered the door, Red immediately locked onto target number one. What a coincidence.

After all, he had just mastered this skill, so it was impossible for him to judge the opponent's measurements at a glance like Luca and Hongyin. He needed a certain amount of foreshadowing and staring.

If it was a coincidence, he wouldn't get angry even if he stared at her for a few seconds... probably!

Moreover, it only takes a few seconds, and Qiao may not be able to discover it.

Red looked at Qiao who was watching TV with great confidence.

Thirty seconds later, Red was embarrassed.

Fortunately, everything is as smooth as a wash.

No, that's not right, it's not completely smooth!

Red quickly discovered the blind spot.

Qiao's clothes were unusually large and thick. No matter who wore that style of clothes, they would look plain. In other words, if one wanted to visually estimate Qiao's measurements, one had to at least let Qiao take off her clothes.

What a coincidence. Although it’s a bit sudden, could you please take off your coat?

Ok.

Such a conversation, probably, will not take place.

"Um...why are you staring at me?" Qiao Diao raised his eyes. "Is there any problem?"

"Ah, yes, is there?" Red grabbed the back of his head and laughed, turning his face away. "Come to think of it, why didn't I see Zhenli and the others? Medusa wasn't there either?"

He could understand that Mari Sonoda and Rei Fueki were not there, since Mari Sonoda had become very interested in buying clothes for Rei Fueki since they went out shopping once.

But he was somewhat surprised that Medusa was not waiting for him in the office.

"Who knows why?" Qiao took a bite of the senbei and turned his eyes away.

"You guys didn't make any secret agreement without telling me, did you?"

Red sat down next to Qiao and said jokingly.

"..."

"Hey, hey, hey - you guys didn't really reach any agreement, did you?" Red couldn't help but complain.

"Hey - it's not important. And please don't push towards me." As Red was getting closer and closer, Qiao blushed and raised her arms to try to push Red away.

"Hey - tell me, I promise I won't tell anyone," Reid took the opportunity to hold Qiao's waist.

So thin!

Although it was not the first time that Red had touched Qiao's waist, ever since he mastered the ability to measure his measurements, it was as if he had opened the door to a new world and became very curious about everything.

Curiosity, like the devil's whisper, incited Red to further explore this new world.

"Hey - don't touch that!"

Qiao noticed the change in Red's eyes very keenly and immediately grabbed Red's hand and pushed it down desperately.

Red blinked and began to move his hand down.

"I don't mean to ask you to go any further! Stop it!"

Qiao blushed and raised her fist and swung it towards Red's face.

"Ding--"

The elevator door opened, and Red covered his right eye and walked into the Kiryu Battle Rabbit Laboratory. He looked around and his eyes fell on the NEVER team who were exercising. He thought for a moment and then walked over.

Da Dao Keji, who was holding a dagger, raised his eyebrows and turned to face Reid, "Any other mission?"

Reid stopped in front of Da Dao Ke Ji and lowered his eyes. Because it was training time, Da Dao Ke Ji was wearing a sleeveless tights that was convenient for exercise.

Because Red remained silent, Da Dao Keji became a little impatient. Just as he was about to speak, Red suddenly raised his hand and pressed it on his chest.

"Yeah, that's a big surprise—"

Da Dao Keji's pupils shrank sharply, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a clink.

He never thought that he would regret his hasty decision to follow Red so much.

Chapter 718 Guilt and the Sabbath

late at night.

Igarashi Kazuki pulled down the shutter of the Happy Bathhouse, closed the billboard, returned to the lobby, and threw himself on the sofa, letting out a long breath as if he wanted to get rid of all his fatigue.

According to the contract, Weiss returned a portion of his memory to him. Of course, it was a very small and insignificant portion of memory.

He was busier than he had expected, and he should use this time to do things that should be done in another capacity.

He is a responsible person. Since he knows that it is his duty, he will definitely do it well, but...

He was not very happy about it.

He had finally completed the work at the Happy Bathhouse and had gained some rare private time. Why would he give all this private time away?

So, he came up with a very evil idea, which was to pretend not to know about this and use this rare time to do something he wanted to do.

For example, playing football.

That's half of his time.

When Igarashi Ikki was most shaken, Whis came out.

"Hehehe——Ikki, I can feel your evil intent."

"Evil? Why would I think that doing something I like is evil?" Igarashi Ikki waved his hand unhappily, but unfortunately Whis was not a physical entity and he couldn't touch Whis at all.

"Why is that? I am the devil, the devil in your heart, so my standards for judging good and evil all depend on you."

Whis put his hands behind his head and swayed from side to side. It was obvious that Igarashi Kazuki had no chance of hitting him, but he was very serious in dodging Igarashi Kazuki's swinging hand.

"Ikki, you are feeling guilty, aren't you?"

Weiss suddenly moved in front of Igarashi Kazuki and raised his index finger.

"For you, doing what you like is evil."

Igarashi Kazuki's pupils shrank and Weiss's face was reflected in his eyes.

"you say……"

"Ikki, you'd better not run away from this kind of guilt," Weiss laughed evilly, "Guilt will strengthen the power of the devil, and your escape will give the devil an opportunity~"

Igarashi Kazuki's heart skipped a beat. "Weiss, you want my body?"

"Who knows what I really want? Now I want to do this!"

Weiss's head swung around and his butt was facing Igarashi Kazuki.

"puff--"

"Ah! You bastard!"

Although it had no physical body, Igarashi Ikki could smell a foul odor, and even his defense was broken.

However, Igarashi Ikki did not notice that Igarashi Daiji was looking at him at the corner of the corridor.

After his eyes flickered for a while, Igarashi Daiji scratched his face, bent down and placed a bottle of hot milk on the ground. Every time he had a conflict with his brother, he would use this method to reconcile with his brother, and his brother would always understand his little self-esteem and greet him with his usual sunny smile the next day.

He knew deep down that he was using Igarashi Kazuki's sense of responsibility as the eldest brother to maintain his own illusory self-esteem.

After taking a few steps, Igarashi Daiji's eyes lit up with a dark green light, and his nails were stained with the devil's black.
