Fighting you is like being in jail.

“…”

“…”

For a moment, the two fell silent. Machima looked at Leng Chang in surprise. Leng Chang released Machima's wrist and looked at her without saying a word.

"Don't be nervous. As my subordinate, you need to pay attention to your attire." Machima once again reached out and straightened Leng Chang's collar, a faint smile on her face, her eyes fixed on Leng Chang.

As if trying to see something in Leng Chang's eyes, during the brief gaze she finally saw Leng Chang's emotions in those deep, dark eyes.

That's... the look on your face when you fucking want to get down.

"..."

Machima raised an eyebrow, sensing something was wrong, and even widened her eyes as she looked at Leng Chang.

The power to control demons is something humans cannot resist, and even demons are no exception. However, some demons are immune to their own abilities, but she is now certain that Leng Chang is definitely human.

Since humans are not immune to their own abilities, what I see now is not any affection, but rather indifference and speechless disbelief as if I were looking at a lunatic.

No one under her control can resist her; they will become infatuated with Machima and completely obey her commands.

The current cold weather situation clearly has no impact.

After straightening Leng Chang's collar, she withdrew her hands, smiled at Leng Chang, and said lightly, "Alright, you look much more refreshed now."

“…” Leng Chang stared at Machima speechlessly, at a loss for words.

I never expected Makima to be so ambiguous with someone other than Denji.

I should be no different from a pebble on the roadside in Machima's eyes, so why is there something I don't know about?

Just as Leng Chang was filled with doubt, Machima softly said:

"I heard about the mall from Dianci. He's very happy to have so many loot. However, you shouldn't take too much care of him. Sometimes, too much care can actually harm him."

"..."

Yay! Electric shock!

So it turns out it was your fault! No wonder Machima was following me!

Leng Chang nodded silently, his expression remaining unchanged.

Then Machima asked, "What are you going to deal with next?"

"library."

"Do you have any ideas?" Machima asked curiously.

"Hmm... Come to think of it, what would happen if I demolished the library?"

Upon hearing this, Machima lowered her head slightly and pondered for a moment. After a brief pause, she said seriously, "If dismantling it can solve the problem, then it's not a big deal."

As she spoke, she naturally took a half step back, maintaining a just-right distance. "That library seems to have some interesting rare books hidden inside. It would be a shame to destroy them directly. Perhaps... we could use a more refined method?"

"Are there any books inside that interest you? What are they?" Leng Chang asked, becoming curious instead.

"There should be, right? I haven't been there, but Qiu Jun mentioned that there's information about the Gun Demon inside." Machima pointed to her face with a finger, speaking uncertainly and vaguely, while keeping her eyes fixed on Leng Chang.

"Not interested," Leng Chang said, showing no interest.

Machima nodded, as if she understood something, gave Leng Chang a meaningful look, as if she were observing an interesting new toy, and then gracefully turned and left.

"Leng Chang, I have high hopes for you."

As Machima left, she didn't forget to encourage Leng Chang, but Leng Chang had no interest in watching her departing figure.

She's not a normal person, she's not even human.

Then Leng Chang picked up the phone.

"Hey? Iori, call Kazuma. Come gather here, there's a demolition... cough, a mission."

When Leng Chang walked out of the office building, Kitahara Iori and Sato Kazuma were already sitting on their electric scooter parked on the side of the road in front of the building.

Upon seeing Leng Chang again, Kitahara Iori immediately asked, "What mission? It's not going to be anything dangerous, is it?"

"It's just about dealing with the library," Leng Chang said simply as he walked up.

"What library?" Kazuma Sato leaned closer, looking curious.

Upon hearing this, Leng Chang handed the documents to the two of them, whose eyes lit up after reading them.

"So, once you enter the library, you'll find books that interest you on the shelves?!"

"Doesn't that mean... we can get the content for free?"

"Oh ho!?"

In an instant, the three men's eyes sharpened, as if they had spotted a perfect intelligence location.

The next second, the three of them rushed towards the library without stopping, without even taking a breath.

The main entrance of the library.

Leng Chang, Kitahara Iori, and Sato Kazuma stared expectantly at the sealed gate.

The urge within me could no longer be contained.

Leng Chang took a deep breath. "Calm down! Think about what you want first, so you don't find out you're not interested after you go in, which would be pointless."

"Yes! Now think about what I'm really interested in!" Kitahara Iori clenched her fists and closed her eyes tightly, trying to figure out what she was interested in.

Kazuma Sato licked his lips wickedly, grinning expectantly, "Alright! I've made up my mind! Let's begin!"

The next second, a glint flashed in the eyes of the three men, and they simultaneously stomped their left feet hard on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"Yoshi! Let's go!"

With Leng Chang's announcement, the three of them stepped into the library like tough guys.

The moment I entered the gate, a musty smell filled my nostrils—the smell of books left out for a long time. Looking around, I saw neatly arranged bookshelves across a hundred-square-meter open space, each shelf overflowing with books.

Leng Chang's eyes lit up as he scanned the bookshelves. He strode up and quickly walked to the bookshelf in the corner, looking through the books.

Kitahara Iori walked quietly to the other side, looking furtive as if afraid of being discovered, while Sato Kazuma looked around to make sure that Leng Chang and Kitahara Iori were not around before looking directly at the bookshelf in front of him.

After browsing for an unknown amount of time, Kitahara Iori suddenly spotted her target on the bookshelf.

When will Kitahara Iori get a girlfriend?

Yoho! It's here! This is exactly the set of teeth I've been looking for!!

Kitahara Iori's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she grabbed the book and pulled it out.

Then, after carefully looking around to make sure no one was there, he quietly, slowly, and expectantly opened the book.

His lips couldn't help but curl upwards, and his eyes shone with an unprecedented brilliance.

Immediately! I need to know what I want to know right now!

Hee hee—! Rules Library, I admire your teeth!

Even if you kill people, eat people, and are an enemy of humanity, as long as you let me know who my girlfriend is, I will respect and love you from the bottom of my heart!

Open!

When I'm dreaming.

Kitahara Iori suddenly paused, closed the book, and rubbed her eyes in confusion.

My eyes must have been playing tricks on me; I must have been too excited to react like that.

Take a deep breath, calm yourself down, good, take another look.

He opened the book again and saw its contents once more.

When I'm dreaming.

“…”

Shaking, shaking, shaking.

A forceful hand, a trembling heart, and a blood pressure-pumped answer.

If you think about it carefully, the book's title is "When Will Kitahara Iori Get a Girlfriend?", while the content of the book is about dreaming.

“…”

The answer became clear in an instant.

"You damn bastard, you're lying! I don't believe a word you say!"

Sizzle—!

Unable to contain himself, Kitahara Iori tore the book in his hands to shreds on the spot, without giving anyone a chance to react.

It was torn off without even making a sound as the page was turned.

"Come out! You son of a bitch, come out here! I'm going to kill you today, you bastard!"

Kitahara Iori flung the book, now torn in two, aside and cursed angrily. He was certain that if that man-eating hand appeared, he would punch it and teach it a lesson in the utter thief's delight!

The sudden roar attracted Leng Chang and Sato Kazuma to peek out from behind the bookshelves on either side.

"What's going on?"

"what happened?"

The appearance of the two startled Kitahara Iori, who forced himself to calm down. He stood rooted to the spot like a war god and said with complete composure:

"It's nothing, I just saw some gossip that I can't accept."

“…”

“…”

Leng Chang and Sato Kazuma exchanged a puzzled look, then gave up trying to figure it out.

"Alright, be careful."

"I'll go check mine first."

The two looked away and continued searching for books that interested them.

Kitahara Iori clenched his fists in resentment, standing like a defeated tough guy, though some of his anger had died down.

"Whoa!"

Kitahara Iori let out a furious cry and slammed his fist into the bookshelf in front of him.

boom-!

The bookshelves in front of him were completely obliterated by the magnetic field generated by that punch.

"NO—!" he roared to the sky, clenching his fists in disbelief.

This once again prompted Leng Chang and Sato Kazuma to peek out, looking curiously at Kitahara Iori and asking:

"What?"

"What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just can't quite accept it..."

Kitahara Iori explained with a resolute expression, full of a tough guy's resolve and certainty.

"?"

"?"

Although they didn't know what had happened, Leng Chang and Sato Kazuma didn't pay much attention to it.

Just as Kazuma Sato turned to look at the bookshelf, his pupils suddenly contracted—he saw it!

After waiting for so long, the books that interested him finally appeared.

What kind of person is someone who likes Kazuma Sato?

In an instant, Sato Kazuma's hand holding the book became a blur. The moment he got the book, he fell to the ground sideways, protecting the book with both hands, his head frantically looking left and right.

Then, trembling with excitement, he looked down at the book lying beneath him, his eyes gleaming with a terrifying light.

Oh—! Adaliwa Adali—! !

The thing I'm most, most, most interested in is this mouth and teeth!

That's awesome! I knew someone would like me!
