Tojo Aoi nodded in satisfaction, looking at the man with heavy eyes: "You have to keep this secret for me. The price of 'lying and not being discovered' is too deadly. If others find out, I will die."

The man nodded carefully, and then reminded Tojo Aoi: "Please use vague words to me as well. Don't give a positive answer."

"You are different. You are the person I trust the most."

"Please be careful! Lord Tojo is too naive! And because of his age, he is too easily deceived! So, please be careful with your abilities!"

The man seemed to be worried about Tojo Aoi, and he gave her instructions with a fanatical look on his face.

Tojo Aoi nodded impatiently: "Okay, okay, I get it. Thank you. Then, please take care of yourself and do what I tell you to do. Eh? Is there anything else?"

Noticing that the man seemed hesitant to speak, Tojo Aoi blinked her curious big eyes at him.

"This...you, your friend. Your name is Mori Yuesa, right?" The man had been kneeling on the ground for a long time, but his straight waist did not shake at all, and his hands were placed steadily on his knees.

Tojo Aoi replied with a smile: "Yes, Mori Yuesa. Are you investigating her?"

Although the tone was still joking, the man keenly heard some danger in the girl's words.

Just like a dozing crocodile, it suddenly opened its eyes and looked over. The four crocodiles were also ready to attack - just waiting for the next sentence, and the beast would choose its prey.

He wisely said everything in one go: "Master Chenzhu has recently cooperated with Councillor Tanaka on some projects. The orphanage where Miss Mori Yuesha once lived..."

“What does the project include?”

The man nodded.

Before he knew it, he began to sweat.

The stinging gaze swept over him. This tangible murderous intent came from a girl who looked as delicate as a puppet and a doll.

"It's actually a very large piece of land, and it just so happens that the orphanage where Ms. Mori Yuesha once lived is also included in it. Please decide how to deal with it..."

"Who is responsible?"

"Councilman Tanaka instructed that the Yukinoshita family was responsible for the initial demolition and part of the later construction. That family gave up the most profit. I think they should be looking for political support. After all, the current head of the Yukinoshita family is a county councilor."

After listening to this, Tojo Aoi didn't say anything. She picked up the silver pen beside her and twirled it around her fingertips. The light passed through the pen, reflecting a cold luster.

"Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it."

"understood."

Chapter 37 Masked Lady, Yukinoshita Haruno

After the man left, Tojo Aoi put down her pen with an indifferent look on her face and began to think.

After countless investigations in these days, she did not find any precedent of a Chaos ritual turning into an Order ritual.

On the contrary, the two rituals are absolutely incompatible.

So, because of that female voice, the ritual that was supposed to be on the chaos side was really twisted into order?

Who is the woman who performed the transformation ceremony? Is she... a god from the order side?

She chuckled a few times, her mouth stretched like a delicate doll with heavy makeup.

No one knows that I have transformed from chaos into order.

Therefore, she just needs to act according to her identity as a "lie ghoul".

Ability? Cost? All made up.

I have to thank Mori Tsukisa for the days she spent with me. At that time, they would often discuss the plot of a manga or anime.

Thinking of Mori Yuesa, Tojo Aoi pouted her lips, and her expression finally took on a human quality.

"What should I do? Father, can't you just tell me about that organization and die right away? It's too late now. I'm afraid Sa-chan will run away..."

————Mori Yuesha starts running————

There are few people in the cold drink shop.

Perhaps Hiratsuka Shizuka thought that both of them were "victims" of the mysterious power, and subconsciously classified Mori Tsukisa as one of her own. When facing Yukinoshita Haruno, she not only sat firmly beside Mori Tsukisa, but also put her arm around her shoulders.

As a result, the woman whom Shizuka Hiratsuka called a friend saw this scene when she came in.

"Your new lover?" she asked doubtfully and seriously.

Hiratsuka Shizuka: …

"Shut up." Hiratsuka Shizuka replied unhappily, "This is Mori Yuesha. You should know, right? The orphanage."

Yukinoshita Haruno understood clearly and asked tentatively, "So... has your uncle's situation been completely resolved?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka replied calmly: "It hasn't been resolved, but the line has been drawn."

"Phew, I've advised you a long time ago. Isn't this better? You are more suitable to be a teacher."

Yukinoshita Haruno ordered herself a cup of milk tea and ignored the 'lovers' opposite: "Don't worry about other things. This is also the decision of the family. We kept it a secret from you before because you are too naive."

Yukinoshita Haruno raised her little finger to Mori Tsukisa: "A woman of this age is still as innocent as a virgin... Eh? Xiaojing, is that you?"

"Shut up."

"You are Mori Yuesha, right?"

After teasing Hiratsuka Shizuka enough, Yukinoshita Haruno turned her head and winked at Mori Yuesa: "I'm really sorry about the orphanage. Such rude behavior obviously came from my mother."

"I've asked my men to stop this behavior! Including the cooperation with Xiaojing's family, I have terminated the cooperation relationship and reported it to the police! I was too busy before and didn't pay attention to this. I'm really sorry for the trouble it caused to you and the children!"

Yukinoshita Haruno sincerely apologized to Mori Tsukisa and significantly increased the compensation amount for the orphanage.

She seemed to be very worried about the children in the orphanage, and was ashamed of the huge problem caused by her momentary "mistake", so the conditions she offered were very generous.

"If you have any other requirements, please let me know."

"I am in charge of this matter now. Even if you haven't discussed it or haven't decided where to move to, you can continue to live there for a while."

"I'll stay here. It's okay. You can stay as long as you want."

Mori Yuesa looked at the short-haired woman in front of her, solved the problem in a few words, and easily blocked out the words she was supposed to say.

She nodded and agreed with Yukinoshita Haruno's approach: "We really can't cooperate with organizations like the Matsutani Association. In fact, we've already chosen a place to move to, and we're packing up recently."

"Please let me find a moving company for the children!" Yukinoshita Haruno put her hands together in a 'please' gesture, and said with a wronged look on her face: "I will pay for all the moving expenses. As an apology. Please let me do it! When the time comes, I will personally apologize to the children and the dean!"

Mori Yuesa looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka, and she nodded at her.

"Okay." said Mori Yuesha.

"Yeah! That's great! Thank you so much! Seriously, I was about to collapse when I heard what Xiaojing told me. Ah, how could my mother do this..."

Yukinoshita Haruno started to talk about her mother's problems, the company's problems, and her own problems with a smile on her face. In short, she made a complete apology to Mori Tsukisa.

"It's a good thing Xiaosha is a good person, otherwise, this way of business would have big problems." Yukinoshita Haruno drank the milk tea and picked out the pearls one by one and threw them away.

If you don't like it, why add it?

"Because it's fun." She seemed to see Mori Yuesa's confusion, and spoke vaguely while holding a straw in her mouth.

"Sometimes, I really don't want to admit that you are my student..." Hiratsuka Shizuka covered her face and gave Mori Yuesa an expression of 'you see', "It's good that the matter is resolved. I'll go move the car and take you home later?"

Yukinoshita Haruno made a gesture: "OK, where's Ms. Mori?"

Mori Yuesha waved her hand: "No need."

Shizuka Hiratsuka shook the car keys with her finger and pushed the door open and walked out of the cold drink shop.

The two fell into silence for a while.

Yukinoshita Haruno was no longer as cheerful as before. She sipped her milk tea calmly, staring at Mori Yuesa, looking up and down and left and right.

"She's a popular girl, isn't she?"

Mori Tsukisa: “Hmm?”

Yukinoshita Haruno: "Are you satisfied with my way of handling the matter, Master?"

Mori Yuesha was not used to the overwhelming malice.

Was that smiling face he had just now only shown to Shizuka Hiratsuka?

Seeing that Mori Yuesha didn't answer, she didn't care and continued talking to herself.

"Xiao Jing is quite naive and thought her uncle was doing some serious business. How could that be possible? She is a fool. You know that after meeting her, right?"

"You are obviously not young anymore, but you are still so naive."

"Since you are satisfied with my solution, please stop attaching negative emotions to her. Even though she is heartless, she will go home and cry silently with her pillow in her arms at night."

Mori Tsukisa explained, "I'm Miss Hiratsuka - Mr. Hiratsuka's student. I'll be here after school starts."

Yukinoshita Haruno was a little surprised: "Is that so? That's even more troublesome. From now on, can you please not mention these things to Xiaojing anymore?"

"If you ask for some additional compensation, I can make the decision."

Mori Yuesha looked at the woman in front of her with amusement, lifted her hair from her eyes and looked at her: "Do you think I did this for money?"

"You hired them, didn't you? Those thugs. You hired them to harass the orphanage. And you're pretending that 'it was the mother who did it'? If it wasn't for Mr. Hiratsuka, do you think I would be sitting here now, talking to you calmly?"

As soon as the words were spoken, both of them understood each other tacitly.

Mori Yuesa realized that the woman opposite was looking at her with some malice, and through her pupils, that condescending sense of control naturally overflowed.

After a long time, Yukinoshita Haruno finally spoke.

"Oh, we were discovered?"

Yukinoshita Haruno pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth with her hands in an exaggerated manner: "Don't tell Xiaojing, otherwise, you will be in more trouble."

Mori Yuesha said coldly: "I won't expose you. In return, please abide by the agreement."

Mori Yuesha ignored Yang No's weak threat. She stood up, took out some money and threw it on the table without looking back: "You'd better not send people there again. There won't be a next time, Miss Mask."

Yukinoshita Haruno looked at Mori Yuesa's back with interest as she turned and left.

Chapter 38 Slime with a Crown

Mori Yuesha held the paintbrush with full concentration, dipped it in some crab gray color like a dragonfly touching the water, moved the brush away from the palette, and gently and slowly painted on the drawing board.

The willow trees by the lake drooped over the sun-soaked surface, and their reflections were blurry.

Thick layers of paint are applied, making it look particularly soft and sticky under the warm sunlight outside the window.

A cup of steaming chocolate was placed on the small foot table beside her, and the wind blew the white gauze curtains.

The house smelled like dog that had been exposed to the sun after being caught in the rain.

“The bright white bursting out from the shadows, the clearly visible textures of the leaves, the colorful flowers that are blooming, half-wilted, and withered. Everything about them tells the truth and secret of the rise and fall of time.”

Senjumura Zheng leaned back in the sofa, holding the book on oil painting appreciation in his hand, and specifically read the reviews of Mori Yuesha's paintings.

“It is a gorgeous flower blooming on the branches of ordinary life. I can even feel the author’s breath through the dark green of the deep forest, the patterns of intertwined vines, the crisp bird song and the silent arrival of spring.”

"Stop reading." Mori Yuesha smiled gently, put the pen aside somewhat embarrassedly, and jumped off the high stool.

She pinched the magazine that Senjumura Zheng was holding tightly with her fingers and threw it aside.

"How come you have time recently? Didn't you swear not to go out because you can't write?"

"That's almost it."

Facing Mori Tsukisa's teasing, Senjumura Masaaki said generously: "Please help me take a look. Princess Tsukishima has given some suggestions. Maybe it will become a big hit?"

"What do I, a comics artist, know about novels?"

Mori Yuesha rolled her eyes, picked up her phone and waved it at Senjumura Zheng: "It might be useful to warm you up. Here, what's your name?"

She squeezed into the sofa with her legs up, and Senjumura Zheng leaned over and lay down on Mori Yuesha's legs.

It's not right to push Mori Yuesha, and it's not right not to push her.

"What's wrong?" Senjumura Zheng looked up at Mori Yuesa, but he could only see the thin gauze dress she was wearing.

"Your two slimes are blocking my view, Yuesha."
