My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

It was at this moment that she met Arcueid's eyes once again.

Those were eyes completely different from before. Cold, arrogant, and indifferent to everything, as if a god were watching over the foolish creatures of the earth.

This time, she really burst into tears.

Chapter 27 Isayama Yomi: Whose fault is it that I still don't have a boyfriend?!

Thus, Arcueid, the White Princess who was the true progenitor of vampires, the vampire among vampires, who kept the Church of Saints up at night, and who was the object of the Burial Agency's constant scheming, and who could stop children from crying at night, was pulled by Levi to sit among a group of priestesses, superpowered individuals, and Onmyoji.

Arcueid didn't care about this; as long as she was with Levi, everything else was trivial.

Compared to these unimportant things, what interests her is observing the culture of human societies.

"It seems like the exorcism group has a lot of new faces I haven't seen before lately."

On the dance floor, men and women in colorful clothes displayed their graceful dance moves to the rhythm of the music. Taking this opportunity, Li Wei whispered in the ear of Isayama Yomi beside him.

"Yes, because there are more and more random and unexpected incidents, the government has increased its financial investment, and many talented newcomers have joined our organization."

Dressed in a black sailor uniform and wielding a katana, the girl exuded a fierce aura, completely out of place with the party atmosphere. She grabbed another girl in a sailor uniform next to her and introduced her, half-showing off and half-demonstrating:

"This is Yukina Himeragi, who recently joined the organization. She's two years my junior and is now my deputy. Pretty, right? ~"

Why didn't you tell me about her abilities or talents when you introduced her? Instead, you just showed off her looks.

Showing off is one thing, but staring at Arcueid while talking is another. Is he trying to drag his junior over to use her looks to overwhelm her?

"Hello, my name is Himeragi Yukina. Senior Isayama often mentioned you to me." The junior in the sailor uniform looked more innocent, and her voice was more excited.

"Is that right?"

Li Wei was slightly surprised. In his memory, Isayama Yomi usually did nothing but practice kendo and study hard. He never expected her to talk about her own affairs with others so often.

"Of course, Senior Isayama often used you as a role model to inspire us, so that we could learn from you and always lend a helping hand to those in need."

No, no, I only made a very small contribution.

"Moreover, Senior Isayama himself set a good example. During each training session, he would silently repeat things like, 'It's not enough,' 'We can't catch up with him at all,' and 'We can't even catch up with Ryougi at all.'"

My situation is rather special, and the Yin and Yang are even more special, so generalizations cannot be made.

"Senior, let me tell you, actually, Isayama-senpai already has someone she likes. It's just that the other person has a clear relationship with her, and they have a good relationship. She doesn't want to reveal her feelings and ruin her friendship, so she pretends that nothing has happened."

Unrequited love? That's truly a tragedy. I wonder which lucky guy managed to win the favor of Huang Quan.

"He always carries his photos with him, especially the graduation photo, which he never leaves behind. His close-up is on the desktop of my computer and phone. The photo of the two of us in the dormitory is placed in the most conspicuous place on the bedside table."

Having a graduation photo means they were classmates... but when were they classmates? Elementary school or junior high?

"Once during my afternoon nap, I passed by my senior's dormitory and heard her calling his name in her sleep, her tone completely different from usual..."

What a tragedy, Huang Quan! If something like this happened, you should have just told me directly. If you were too shy to say it, I could have asked around and seen if there was any chance.

"Senior, do you want to know who that man is?" The junior high school girl whispered quietly, "This isn't the place to talk. If you want to know, let's exchange contact information, and I'll tell you secretly when we get back."

They're being so mysterious, but it's just exchanging contact information, isn't it? I don't mind.

Moreover, the other party has already proactively provided their phone number, email address, chat software number, 3D data, and family information. Wouldn't it be very impolite not to make a note of it?

Then there's——

Applause that was both "fearful and harmonious"

A terrifyingly beautiful girl with a long ponytail, dressed in a black sailor uniform, appeared.

As Himeragi Yukina described, she was deeply entangled in her emotions and couldn't extricate herself. Watching her two best friends get along so happily, she could only silently offer her blessings. On the surface, she was putting all her effort into training, but in reality, she just wanted to keep her body busy so she wouldn't have time to think about matters of the heart. She wasn't frank at all. After learning that an important person would be attending the banquet, she prepared for three days in advance, and two hours ago, she had been staring at the door, her eyes unwavering, like a heartbroken, waiting-for-her-husband statue.

Its name is Isayama Yomi.

Unfortunately, Li Wei often took her with him during his training when she was very young, and constantly used drugs to nurture Huang Quan's body. Therefore, her physical strength and acuity now far surpass those of humans. The only difference between her and Saeko is probably that they have never exchanged bodily fluids.

So she heard every single word that Yukina Himefuyu said.

"Well said, please continue." After having a brief and unfriendly exchange with a powerful local yokai in Tokyo, he returned to find that his seemingly innocent, kind, and hopeful junior was poaching him.

"Ha...haha, senior."

"That's right, keep going!" Izayama Yomi's face was extremely grim.

"Ah, ah, haha, haha..." The beautiful and youthful junior could only laugh "haha" and couldn't say anything else.

"It seems my training of you hasn't been enough, Yukina-san." The long-haired beauty in the black sailor uniform changed her address from Yukina to "Teenager Yukina." Her tone was calm, but everyone could sense the calm before a storm: "Then let's do it again, the elite-level special intensive training of the Exorcist Squad."

"Senior Li Wei, save me...!"

Before she could finish pleading for mercy, the beautiful young woman, who had made her first official appearance at the party less than ten minutes earlier, vanished without a trace.

“Huang Quan, you seem to be acting a bit impulsively lately,” the young man said carefully. “Whether it’s your style of doing things or anything else, it’s not quite the same as before.”

He had seen this condition in Hiratsuka-nee before; it was all caused by excessive liver fire, and it needed to be soothed by balancing yin and yang.

"Really?" Izayama Yomi said dismissively.

“Of course.” Li Wei insisted on affirming his opinion.

"Maybe so, after all, this is an engagement party, you bastard."

The pretty girl sighed: "Today looks like a day of universal celebration, where people are bombarded with displays of affection while others get engaged, and you almost want to tie them to a cross and let them experience the most exciting feminine experience of 15th-century France."

As she said this, Isayama Yomi looked at Li Wei with a sad and sorrowful gaze: "Yet on such a good day, I don't even have a male companion."

Her resentful expression made the boy subconsciously feel that he was the one who had caused it.

But what does this have to do with me?!

This book has a bounty.

As of now, the book's stats are: 501 monthly tickets, 6064 donations, and 190 razor blades.

Next, we will start offering a bounty, with no upper limit set for now, until the author feels they can no longer afford it.

For every 10000 cat biscuits rewarded, an extra chapter will be added; for every 100 blades rewarded, an extra chapter will be added. Monthly tickets are only useful if you're in the top ten of the rankings, but since everyone else is including monthly tickets in their bounties, I'll include them too, just in case I make it. For every 150 monthly tickets, an extra chapter will be added.

over!

Chapter 28 Replenishing mana is quite tiring.

"Well, in any case, there will be milk and bread."

Li Wei didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only say this.

You can't exactly put yourself in someone else's shoes and say, "Huang Quan, how about I be your boyfriend? Don't be sad anymore," right? People would think you're a pervert.

Otherwise, you could introduce her to some friends; that would definitely distract her.

“Look, this is my good friend Isayama Yomi, whom I’ve known since kindergarten. She’s now the leader of the Japanese Exorcism Group.” The boy, acting as an intermediary, pushed Arcueid, who had been watching the whole thing from the sidelines, in front of him: “Yomi was a great help when we were hunting down the apostle and the vampires a while ago.”

"This is Arcueid..."

“I know her. She is the last princess of the ‘True Ancestor’ royal family of vampires. She is a being born to stand at the pinnacle of life and can be called the queen among the strange.”

The sailor-uniformed long-tailed girl looked defiantly at the blond, idiotic vampire beside the boy, and for some reason, suddenly felt a surge of competitiveness: "After she arrived in Tokyo, all the supernatural countermeasures departments in Japan sounded the alarm. All members of the exorcism team implemented a 24-hour shift system, the Burial Agency shared information with us, and even planned to send several agents to assist in eliminating her."

"So you agree?"

“We were originally planning to agree to let them come, since they are more professional.” Izayama Yomi looked at Li Wei: “However, after our leader heard that you took her home, we cancelled the plan.”

Why did you all look relieved after I picked up Arcueid?

Moreover, Huang Quan, the way you look at me seems particularly rude, as if you've seen some kind of human-shaped love potion that, if you take a sip, will turn you into my captive, and from then on, you'll do whatever I tell you to do.

"I'm not wrong at all. Look at the girls around you. Don't you feel any guilt?" The voice with long black hair and a ponytail rose slightly: "From a girl with dual personalities to a big-breasted killer, from a teacher eager to get married to a mutant girl, from a music girl to a true ancestor of the Dead Apostles, I can run into eight girls who want to see your photobooks when I go out to buy Kagura a pack of sanitary napkins!"

Li Wei couldn’t tell if it was just his imagination, but he could always hear a hint of resentment in her voice.

It's like they're saying, "Why don't you take me with you? Take me with you!" Is that just my imagination?

"Anyway, you better be more concise." After saying all this, her long ponytail in the sailor uniform seemed to burn out: "I don't want to see you being hacked to pieces in a while... If that day ever comes, I'll come and collect your body."

"Give me a little blessing, please." The boy said helplessly, pinching Huang Quan's cheek.

It was at this moment that the banquet that evening finally reached its climax.

The engagement ceremony involved the groom, Yusei Okizo, exchanging rings with the bride, Luna Sakurakoji, and making vows in front of witnesses.

The actual wedding will have to wait two years, until Yusei graduates from high school. Therefore, neither of them wore a wedding dress at this engagement ceremony—and naturally, neither wore maid outfits either.

After seeing the two exchange rings and embrace, Li Wei stood up first, followed by the others who stood up and applauded.

After everything was over, the party finally came to its final relaxation time.

Everyone is free to move around, whether it's eating, dancing, or identifying anything, there are absolutely no problems.

During this time, Li Wei gave Arcueid a few instructions, telling her not to act rashly, before turning and going to the restroom.

Today's banquet can be considered a success, more or less.

The reason I say this is because, for some reason, some well-informed people who were originally planning to attend the party suddenly stopped coming after receiving the list, or sent their nephews or nieces instead—it's worth mentioning that these people were almost all from the underworld.

It was as if some ferocious, prehistoric beast that would devour anyone was coming to join the gathering.

Thankfully, all of that is over. I just need to stay a little longer before I can go home smoothly.

I wonder what kind of expressions the Yukino family will have when they meet me again; it will definitely be very interesting.

Lost in thought, Li Wei washed and dried his hands, then turned around and found a familiar figure standing in front of him.

Wearing the same black sailor uniform as Huang Quan—but more fitted; having the same long, straight black hair as Huang Quan—but even blacker and longer; possessing the same fierce aura as Huang Quan—but with a more authoritative presence; and being a beautiful girl like Huang Quan—but with a slightly higher level of attractiveness.

Li Wei recognized this person. Yamabuki Otome—or perhaps it would be more appropriate to call her Hagoromo Gitsune?

But no matter what, she shouldn't have been in the men's restroom.

"What, are you unhappy to see your sister?" The great yokai, who had been famous in Japan for hundreds of years, pushed Li Wei back into the bathroom and quickly cast a spell to drive away any bystanders, preventing any unrelated people from disturbing him.

"She used to follow me around and call me 'Big Sister,' but now that she's grown up, she's not as cute as she used to be."

"Don't tease me, Yamabuki-nee." Without any resistance, Li Wei was at his wit's end with this playful fox-like woman: "There are still many guests here, what are you doing in the men's restroom?"

"Of course, I'm here to remind you." Nine long fox tails extended from the top of his buttocks, affectionately caressing the boy's cheeks. The furry feeling made Li Wei feel inexplicably comfortable: "Don't underestimate vampires, you bastard."

"Have you had any contact with them?"

“Several hundred years ago, I met a vampire named Kiss-Shot, and we had some exchanges.” Hagoromo Gitsune straddled Levi and said solemnly, “You must remember that vampires are extremely possessive; they want to get anything they desire. If anyone resists along the way, they will only become more excited.”

"No way, Arcueid seems pretty normal to me." The boy looked unconvinced as he thought about the stupid vampire's face.

"Anyway, I'm just giving you a heads-up, believe it or not. If I could, I'd rather not have known her. I'm giving you a piece of advice: there's something fishy about vampires here." Hagoromo Gitsune nodded. "Don't fall for it, or you'll be completely taken advantage of without even knowing it."

"Also, I'm here to collect my payment for the favor I did for you last time."

"Now? Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" The boy was caught off guard.

"No, I want it here."

The renowned demon, whose name resounded throughout the land, made a sincere request, his words and expression flawless: "Don't you never refuse anyone's request for help? Now I want to give birth to the most perfect child, please help me cultivate."

Then, the door outside the toilet closed and locked automatically without any wind, and a "Repair" sign was hung on the handle.

Now nobody's coming.

Chapter 29 Nero Chaos (Bonus Chapter)

"Wow, why have you been gone for so long?"

Half an hour later, Arcueid, who was bored to the point of exploding, finally saw the boy reappear in front of her, but he gave off a slightly different feeling than before.

His magic seemed to have been slightly depleted, but his physical strength was even better than before, and he also had other strange smells on him.

"I just had a rather in-depth conversation with the local monsters. We disagreed on some things, which is why it took a little longer," Li Wei replied truthfully.

"So, did you win?"

“Of course, she can’t even move a finger right now.” Li Wei was very skilled at exorcising demons and monsters. “It’s getting late, let’s head home.”

“Sure!” Arcueid had always been indifferent to this.
