In the anime, people are in everyday Tokyo, but they are playing the reincarnation game

"Then let's go first."

Asagiri slung the bag over her shoulder and walked out of the classroom. Iwanaga Kotoko also stood up, but before leaving, she looked at Shinomiya Kaguya meaningfully and then said softly.

"Shinomiya Kaguya, you've become... different from before."

............

Later, in a family restaurant.

"Another youkai request? But..."

Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi looked at each other and hesitated.

"Mei and I have plans to go to Ashikaga Sensei for special training today and tomorrow."

"That's great."

What Yuuki Asuna didn't expect was that when she heard that she and Kato Megumi had already made special training arrangements, Iwanaga Kotoko was not disappointed at all, but instead smiled happily.

"Then Asagiri and I will go alone. It's not a particularly difficult matter anyway~"

Asuna Yuuki was speechless. She stared at Kotoko Iwanaga, who had a bright smile on her face, with a suspicious look and asked her soul-searching questions.

"Is there really a request from a monster? Are you kidding me?"

"How is that possible? How could I possibly joke about something like this~"

Kotoko Iwanaga replied with a chuckle covering her lips, then she put away her smile and switched to serious mode.

"However, this commission is indeed a bit tricky. The location is in the mountains near Kanagawa. The mountain god who has been living there has sent a messenger to find me, saying that a serial murder case has occurred within its jurisdiction."

"what?"

Kato Megumi seemed a little confused when she heard this and asked curiously.

"Does the mountain god even care about murder cases? Isn't that the Metropolitan Police Department's business?"

"Of course I will."

Kotoko Iwanaga acted as if it was a matter of course, raised her slender white index finger, and explained seriously as if she was giving a lecture.

"So far, the murderer has killed five innocent people. He always goes into the mountains late at night, on rainy days, and abandons the body parts in the forest. The souls of the deceased usually have extremely strong resentment, especially those who were dismembered after death, whose criminals were not apprehended, and whose injustices were not redressed. If this continues, it is very likely that a powerful vengeful spirit will arise."

"Putting that aside, if it were you, could you handle someone throwing body parts and the like into your house every day? Besides, the deceased's body has already been discovered by tourists who went up the mountain. The Metropolitan Police Department is currently closing the mountain for an investigation. The mountain temple on the mountain has been deprived of incense and offerings, causing the mountain deity to become increasingly weak. If this continues, it won't be long before it dissipates."

"I am the god of wisdom who maintains order and balance between the monster world and human society. I cannot stand idly by while the mountain god and the monsters in the mountains suffer because of the mistakes made by humans."

Kato Megumi nodded, not quite understanding.

"I see."

"exactly."

Kotoko Iwanaga had a sweet and lovely smile on her face, holding her cheeks with her hands, looking shy and embarrassed.

"Alas, since the location is in Kanagawa, and we have to conduct an investigation, it seems we can't go there and come back the same day. We can only find a place to stay in Kanagawa for one night. To save money, we can only book a room. To prevent Asagiri and I from catching a cold, we will sleep in the same bed, using each other's body heat to keep warm. Then, we both can't suppress the throbbing in our hearts, and in the quiet night, some unforgettable things happen..."


"Are you starting again?"

Yuuki Asuna interrupted with a frown on her face.

"Since you're here for serious business, don't rush into a tantrum. First, let me ask you, how are you going to catch a criminal that even the Metropolitan Police Department can't track down?"

"Oh, this is easy."

Kotoko Iwanaga maintained a sweet smile, but then said something that made both Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi shudder.

"The monster in the mountains has seen the murderer's face. Asagiri and I just need to find him, kill him, and leave some evidence at the scene that will let the Metropolitan Police Department know he is the murderer. This way, we can dispel the resentment of the deceased and eliminate a scourge from the world. We have the best of both worlds, and the commission is successfully completed."

"this..."

Seeing the changes in the expressions of Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi, Iwanaga Kotoko just shook her head and smiled.

"My duty is to maintain order in both worlds, not to be some messenger of justice or an unknown hero. As long as the commission is successfully completed, it doesn't matter what method is used. Besides, the killer should be prepared to be killed. This is the fate he deserves."

Hearing the last sentence that seemed familiar, which Asagiri had also said in the rookie copy, Yuuki Asuna first sighed slightly, then looked at Asagiri who was sitting next to her and gave a soft reminder.

"Then you and Kotoko go. Be careful on the road and stay safe. It's Sunday...don't forget it."

Asagiri nodded and smiled.

"Don't worry, I won't forget you. I'll be back tomorrow."

..............

Half an hour later, we were on the train heading to Kanagawa.

Seeing that there were not many people in the carriage and there were many empty seats next to her, but Iwanaga Kotoko wanted to sit right next to her, Asagiri couldn't help but laugh and teased.

"Why don't you just sit on my lap."

"Is there such a good thing?"

Kotoko Iwanaga was not shy or embarrassed like a normal girl. Instead, she looked impatient and sat directly in Asagiri's arms. In order to adjust her posture, her petite body twisted twice subconsciously.

"Wow, you're really not polite at all."

"Family members shouldn't have different opinions~"

Iwanaga Kotoko first said this with a smile, but when she was about to speak, a blush suddenly appeared on her fair face.

"You...you have a weapon on you? Or..."

"I am unarmed."

Asagiri first replied with this sentence, and then continued with full momentum and deep tone.

"I am the weapon."

"Why are you trying to be cool at a time like this..."

There was shyness on Kotoko Iwanaga's cute face, and even her voice became awkward. From this, it can be seen that although she usually tells a few dirty jokes from time to time, at this time, she has no experience and finally exposed her shy girl nature.

But, it was only shy for a few seconds.

Kotoko Iwanaga left Asagiri's arms and sat back down beside her, adjusting her dress while speaking threatening words.

"Forget it, don't crush it. After all, I might need it tonight~"

Then, Iwanaga Kotoko put away her smile and spoke in a rare serious tone.

"Regarding the specific method of resolving this commission..."

As she spoke, Kotoko Iwanaga took out a SIM card and a note from the bag she was carrying.

Asagiri took the note and opened it, only to find that it contained an email address.

Iwanaga Kotoko explained softly, "Through the monsters' tracking, I learned the true identity of the murderer. He is Hosokawa Teru, 34 years old, an ordinary employee of an insurance company."

"After I learned his real name, I searched online and, sure enough, I found his email address on his former university's campus website. I confirmed that the email account was active, indicating that he was still using it normally."

"I obtained this SIM card through a special channel. All you have to do is register an email account with it and send an email to Hosokawa Teru with the message "Crazy Mita" attached. Then, have Crazy Mita appear at the right moment and kill him. Then, eliminate the evil spirit in his house, and this commission will be successfully completed."

"The SIM cards are destroyed immediately after use, so even if the Metropolitan Police Department conducts an investigation, they won't get any useful clues."

Chapter 15: 014 Asagiri's Harem Declaration

"Oh, that's how it is."

Asagiri nodded noncommittally at first, then smiled.

"Tracking down the serial killer hiding in the city and bringing him to justice sounds like a mysterious hero."

Iwanaga Kotoko raised the corners of her lips and smiled.

"Hmm? Do you still have a hidden chuunibyou? Do you think doing this kind of thing is fun and it's ignited?"

“It’s not funny at all.”

Asagiri waved his hand and replied casually.

"How can I find this kind of thing interesting when there's no benefit to be gained, but you have to go to another city to kill people, and it doesn't require any reasoning, and there's no challenge at all?"

Iwanaga Kotoko couldn't help but wonder when she heard that.

"Then why did you..."

"Oh, no, it's not like there's no benefit at all."

Before Iwanaga Kotoko could finish, Asagiri interrupted her softly, looking at Iwanaga Kotoko's cute face which looked a little caught off guard, and spoke with a smile.

"Being able to help you is reason enough for me."

"Asagiri..."

Under this sudden straight ball attack, Iwanaga Kotoko, who has always been eloquent and often said shocking things, was too shy to know what to say for a moment. A blush appeared on her cute white cheeks, and the violet eye that was not blocked by the light golden hair was covered with a layer of mist.

The next second, she immediately hugged Chaowu's arm and said with a smile.

"Sure enough, you still love me more than Asuna..."

"No, that's wrong."

Asagiri interrupted Iwanaga Kotoko again.

"There's no other way to put it. I like you, Asuna, and Kei equally, without any distinction between you and me. I like you equally."

"Eh?"

After hearing Asagiri's words, Iwanaga Kotoko did not show any confusion like Yuuki Asuna, who had also heard these words before, but immediately grasped the key point.

"Could it be... you want to start a harem!?"

Asagiri was justified and made a blatant harem declaration.

"That's right, I want to start a harem!"

The moment he said these words without deliberately lowering his voice, the carriage where some passengers were originally chatting suddenly became quiet.

When the female passengers first heard this, disgust unconsciously appeared in their eyes. However, when they shifted their gaze and saw Asagiri who had just spoken, the disgust disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by admiration.

That boy...

He is really handsome.

The male passengers, whether they were office workers in suits or high school and middle school students in school uniforms, all seemed to have reached a subtle tacit understanding, looking at Asagiri with admiration and respect in their eyes.

Brave!

To openly declare his intention to start a harem in front of such a lovely girl is truly courageous! He is truly a role model for our generation! A man among men, a masculine among masculine men, he is simply a harem god!

only.......

The passengers in the car felt that they had anticipated what was going to happen next.

Faced with such a blatant harem declaration, the cute girl in the long dress would probably be so angry that she would leave immediately, or even worse, she would slap the handsome boy and denounce him as a scumbag, right?

After all, things like the harem are still too...

"Hmm...alright then."

When the passengers in the car heard what Iwanaga Kotoko said, they were all confused.

ha?

Think about it? What does that mean? Does it mean this cute girl actually agrees with her boyfriend having a harem?

Are there hidden cameras around here? What kind of film crew is filming a TV show here? How could this happen?

But Iwanaga Kotoko's thoughts are actually not that complicated.

Although they often quarrel, she actually cherishes her two friends and teammates, Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi. Friends come first, and teammates come second.

And Asagiri...needs no introduction.

From the moment they first met in the hotel copy, Iwanaga Kotoko fell in love with Asagiri at first sight and couldn't help herself.

Since she doesn't want to lose her two friends Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi, and also wants to become a lover with Asagiri and do some dirty things, isn't things simple?

Harem, open it.

"Let me see...we should arrive in Kanagawa around four o'clock..."

Kotoko Iwanaga took out her cell phone and checked the time, then leaned over and whispered in Asagiri's ear.

"Before we get down to business tonight, let's go get something to eat. I heard there's a restaurant in Kanagawa that makes really delicious eel rice~"
