In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

Shizuma Mafuyu fell silent. She slurped her beer and stared quietly at the monotonous night sky where not a single star could be seen.

After a long while, the twenty-year-old girl hugged her knees tightly and covered her face:

"——Nanjo-san, I don't want to die like those cultists and Hasegawa-senpai, worthless like trash, and then be put in a small box and buried in a cheap cemetery."

"I want to...live well."

She trembled and said,

"Even if it means living a peaceful life with a foreseeable end, I still want to live a good life with my sister."

Amidst long sobs, Nanjo Aimi quietly finished the can of draft beer in her hand, then curled up the corners of her lips in great joy.

"Then please let me help you, Mafuyu."

Nanjo Aimi spoke to the girl word by word, "Because we are the same people."

……

"——Alright! Let's take a bath first."

After crushing the cigarette butt, Nanjo Aimi pulled Shizuma Mafuyu into the bathroom and turned on the faucet as if she was the owner of the house.

She snapped her fingers.

"Xiao Ru, the same old rules, but this time we'll also arrange for a quiet room."

Ru Gui skillfully used the end of his hair to unbutton the two people's underwear, causing Shizuma Manfuyu to let out a cry.

Ru Gui stopped moving and looked at the girl in confusion. The latter's face immediately turned red and she lowered her head and uttered an apology.

Nanjo Aimi leaned against the bathtub and thought about what was going to happen next.

Shizuma Mafuyu sat on the small stool very embarrassedly. She had never taken a bath with anyone other than her family since she was a child.

This time, Rugui worked extra hard to control the water flow to help the two of them scrub their bodies, as if he hoped someone would divert their attention to this.

"Mr. Nanjo, may I ask what the work will be like later?" Shizuma Mafuyu broke the silence, because after the Friendship Club was disbanded, Kondo Tomoya gave them a full week off.

"Relax, I'm just going to meet the boss." Nanjo Aimi stretched out her body, showing off her curves that made the girls envious. "Tell them about the Friendship Club and Aibieli."

Ugh?

Shizuma Manfuyu was a little confused. She remembered clearly that yesterday, didn't Nanjo-sensei clearly tell that Uesugi-kun didn't care about this matter?

She continued, "Is it Kondo Daisuke?"

Nanjo Aimi shook her head: "It's the [Five-member Association]."

Shizuma Manfuyu was stunned. Only then did she realize that Nanjo Aimi was saying one thing and thinking another.

The Five-Man Council, whose full name is "Tokyo Special Affairs Office Five-Man Supreme Council", is composed of Yin Yang Quanzhu, Yin Yang Doctor, Astronomy Doctor, Calendar Doctor, and Clepsydra Doctor.

Although the official positions of the last four were slightly different in the historical Onmyoji Bureau, their importance in the reformed Special Affairs Office was exactly the same.

——This is the highest authority in the entire Tokyo Special Affairs Office and also the most powerful violent organization.

What Nanjo Aimei did was equivalent to reporting to a higher level three or four levels, and if she was not careful, she might lose her job.

So Shizuma Mafuyu hesitated and said, "Are you sure, Nanjo-sama?"

Unexpectedly, Nanjo Ai looked at her with a strange look, spread her hands,

"Of course not!"

If you are not sure, don't speak so confidently!

Now, Shizuma Mafuyu couldn't help but start to worry about her job.

Although it would be nice to return to normal life at this critical moment, if she was really fired, wouldn't all her previous efforts be in vain? It would be such a loss just thinking about it.

"——Shizuma, you also have your reasons for not wanting the Arakawa District to be destroyed and countless ordinary people to die tragically."

Shizuma Mafuyu came back to her senses and nodded, "Of course."

Ever since her parents passed away, she and her sister have been trying hard to live in Arakawa Ward, even though life is not so good sometimes and there are no places or memories worth remembering here.

But at least this is where they grew up.

that's enough.

At some point, Hiyabo was already hovering above the two of them, helping them dry the water droplets on their hair and bodies.

Nanjo Aimi took the clothes from the black-haired girl and put them on slowly.

Button up your shirt and tighten your tie.

Soon, the eccentric woman disappeared, and was replaced by the always calm and composed Nanjo young master.

Then Shizuma Mafuyu saw her boss lower his head, hold out his hand, and ask softly:

"Want to come along, Jingjian?"

Shizuma Mafuyu understood that this was the last chance to retreat.

If she nodded and said yes, she might lose the internship job she had worked so hard to get; but if she refused, she could continue to work hard for her sister's future.

This should have been a very difficult decision, just like when she had made the extremely difficult choice of working and studying part-time so that her younger sister could go to high school.

But this time, Shizuma Mafuyu didn't know why she gave up the decision and without hesitation, she clenched the hand that fell in front of her and pleaded, "Please take me with you, Nanjo-sama."

Then, Nanjo Aimi smiled happily.

"Okay."

The boss bent down and tied his tie for himself solemnly and carefully.

Then, he patted her shoulder gently.

"Then let's go."

——I'm sorry, Manatsu.

Shizuma Mafuyu gently closed her eyes.

She whispered in her heart, "Please let me be willful once in a while."

The update on Monday will be advanced to 00:01, so remember to come and watch it then.

Brothers, please keep your monthly tickets and fill them up on Monday. I want to rush to the top of the list on Monday orz

Chapter 58 The expected answer, "My name is Ye Chun"

On the road, a black car from the Special Affairs Office was driving slowly.

The person who came to pick them up was a strange Special Affairs Commissioner, who was said to be directly under the Five-member Association and in some sense had a higher status than Nanjo Aimi.

Both of them were sitting in the back seat, but Shizuma Mafuyu was sitting upright with her hands on her knees. As soon as the car stopped, she looked out the window, with a hint of regret rising in her heart from time to time. She looked nervous and uneasy.

"Have one?"

A slender cigarette was handed to Shizuma Mafuyu, the smell of tobacco mixed with the fragrance of mint.

"Don't look at me like this." Nanjo Aimi exhaled smoke, her face calm. "Actually, I'm quite nervous too. After all, I'm going to meet those legendary big shots."

After hesitating for a moment, Shizuma Mafuyu took the cigarette and whispered thank you.

Nanjo Aimi came over and lit it for her.

The tobacco burned slowly, and Shizuma Manfuyu stared at the cigarette in her hand with some trepidation.

She remembered that in middle school, only those bad students who could not continue their studies would smoke, and teachers often warned good students like her not to learn from them.

I...have become a bad girl too.

Or is this what is called growth?

Shizuma Mafuyu clenched her fists, put the cigarette in her mouth, and took a deep puff as if to prove something.

"Cough! Cough-cough-cough!"

But then she started coughing violently, choking on her tears.

Nanjo Aimi laughed out loud: "How can you smoke like that?"

"Come, watch."

Then, Nanjo Aimi demonstrated it to her, and Shizuma Mafuyu followed suit and took a careful sip.

But he still coughed twice due to the stimulation.

But unexpectedly, Shizuma Mafuyu found that her inner anxiety gradually subsided.

……

"Please come in, the five-member group is all here."

The Special Affairs Commissioner opened the door of an unremarkable single-family house.

Shizuma Mafuyu was a little surprised: "Is this it..."

"We can't get together in person, so we're just thankful that the five adults can find time for a video conference."

Nanjo Aimi restrained her expression and stepped into the house: "Let's go."

Shizuma Mafuyu followed closely behind.

The moment she stepped into the house, Shizuma Mafuyu felt a subtle sense of dislocation, and then she found that the originally ordinary furnishings in the house suddenly turned into darkness.

There were only five blurry figures standing in front.

Shizuma Madoka swallowed her saliva, not daring to show any unnecessary expression or movement.

After seeing the two of them standing, the Yin-Yang Quanzhu in the center asked calmly,

"What's the matter with Nanjo Aimi, the young Yin-Yang official of Arakawa District, that you are reporting?"

"Love is gone."

Nanjo Aimi got straight to the point without any nonsense.

The effect was also very significant. Shizuma Manfuyu, who was standing behind her, immediately felt the mental pressure increased by a lot.

After a very brief silence, the five people said in unison: "Tell me in detail."

Nanjo Aimi answered truthfully without reservation.

After she finished speaking, Yin Yang Quan Zhu said, "Wait a moment."

Then the five people began to communicate very quickly.

After just over ten seconds, the space fell silent again, and Yin Yang Quanzhu spoke again:

"If there's no direct evidence, can we conduct a soul search on the Uesugi Tetsu and Tokugawa Rikiko you mentioned?"

The figure to Yin Yang Quanzhu's right said, "Tokugawa can't."

"That……"

Nanjo Aimei interrupted directly, "Sorry, that's not within my consideration. I also think it would bring great losses to the Special Affairs Office."

Yin Yang Quan Zhu didn't care about this trivial matter. He continued to ask:

"Is there any other direct evidence that proves Aibieli's existence in Arakawa District?"

Nanjo Aishi shook her head: "Not yet."

Yin Yang Quan Zhu paused and said, "So, I understand."

"Then, everyone, please vote on whether to support Arakawa District due to the possible separation of love." Onmyoji Gonsuke was the first to vote against it. "I object. The first wave is imminent, and the other districts are seriously short-handed."

Doctor Astronomy: "I agree. Aibieli has reappeared after more than a hundred years, and his current strength is not very strong. This is a rare opportunity to capture him alive."

Dr. Yin Yang: "I object. The Ashikaga army has been on our doorstep these past few days. I don't understand how they managed to send so many samurai here by airdrop. We can't even find the supply lines."

Dr. Clepsydra: "Objection. I'm still dealing with my sick family and can't help for the time being. I can agree to this in a month."

Dr. Li Dao spread his hands and said, "In that case, there's no point in me agreeing."

"Three votes against, two votes in favor. Considering all of this... I'll have to apologize for at least a month, Nanjo-sama."

Yin Yang Quanzhu paused and said, "However, I can personally arrange for two helpers for you. They will be here in about a week."

An expected answer.

Nanjo Aimi thought.
