Taboo Manual for Raising a Succubus Girlfriend!

"As a physical education teacher, why did you come to the college library on your day off?"

She pinched her fingertips, and the dust turned into even finer powder, floating into the air.

Maria's tone was very calm, as calm as the surface of a frozen lake in winter, without a single ripple, but beneath the ice, countless dark emotions were surging undercurrents.

"I heard that the librarian is ill. I am assisting the teaching assistant I hired earlier to sort out the library's affairs."

Without any hesitation, Ye Si put down the file in his hand and responded calmly to Maria's question, without any wavering expression on his face.

A wrong word, a subtle choice of words, a second of hesitation, or even half a second of wandering eyes may very well become grounds for conviction.

"Oh, is it so."

Maria was dismissive of Ye Shi's answer, and her gaze moved downwards little by little. Finally, her gray eyes stopped on the file of the graduating student in Ye Shi's hand.

"I'm sorry, but I'm probably uninformed. I've never heard that organizing the library requires looking through the files of graduating students."

She placed her hands on her waist and stood respectfully and gracefully, wearing a light black dress, like a maid serving her master. However, every word she said seemed to be full of hidden ulterior motives.

"Especially the files related to me."

(Is he really seen...?)

Ye Shi clenched the file tightly, his palms sweating slightly, and his red eyes dimmed a little.

"This is...."

"No need to explain, Miss Yoshito."

Maria took a step forward and walked straight in front of Ye Si, as if she had seen through everything. Even though she was about to bump into him, she had no intention of stopping.

"Boom!"

The sound of collision.

The bookcase swayed gently, like branches in winter, shaking off a layer of frost and snow.

"..."

Ye Shi leaned his back against the bookcase, staring closely into Maria's eyes, his long eyelashes trembling slightly.

Just now, under Maria's approach, she retreated step by step until her back hit the bookcase and she had no way to retreat, then she finally stopped.

So close...

The distance between the two people was probably less than five centimeters, and they could even feel each other's breathing.

"Please don't try to hide it any further. I know exactly what you're planning to do."

Maria spoke word by word like an emotionless robot.

She raised her eyes and stared into Ye Si's eyes. There was no emotion in her gray eyes. She seemed to be digging into the other person's soul, trying to find what she wanted from the pupils.

However, it was also at this distance that Ye Si finally realized that the other person was not a machine, but a real living person.

Maria still needs to breathe like a human, her chest rises and falls slightly, and her eyes also need to blink. This is the basis of biological life.

Well, since he is a living person, he will definitely reveal his flaws.

"what are you saying..."

Ye Shi swallowed and felt a chill on his neck, as if he was being held by the scythe of the god of death and his head could be torn off at any time.

But even so, she couldn't give in and must not admit anything before the other party provided sufficient evidence.

"I monitored everything last night over the phone. Please stop your behavior. This is your final warning."

After saying this, a strange look finally appeared in Maria's eyes.

"No matter what you do, I will not agree with your approach. This is an unchangeable fact."

She reached out and grabbed the file bag in Ye Si's hand, snatched it into her own hands, and took two steps back to keep her distance again.

"last night"...

Phone Monitoring...

Ye Shi lowered his eyes, thinking about these two key words in his mind, and his expression became solemn.

Could it be...

Was she the one who monitored my phone conversation with Ling last night?

The probability is high.

After all, it would be easy for Maria to appear by Zero's side occasionally, find the mobile phone that was given away, and then secretly tamper with it.

I've been too lax recently and hadn't anticipated this possibility before.

During yesterday's conversation, Ye Shi revealed his plan to Ling in full, which led to the exposure of the matter.

However, if that's all, I can breathe a sigh of relief.

What she did was just a kind teacher who wanted to cure her students' illnesses, and she did not reveal her identity as a magical girl.

But, the new problem is...

Why, Miss Maria wants her to stop her plan to save Zero.

As the Demon King's bodyguard, shouldn't he be on the Demon King's side and consider Zero's health?

"I just wanted to...save her."

Ye Shi decided to stick to his role as a kind teacher to the end, and said this in a sincere tone.

"Feel sorry."

Miss Maria politely adjusted her stance. Beneath her inky black hair, her cold, inorganic eyes gazed over and she spoke slowly:

"I will not allow this to happen. She just needs to maintain the status quo."

In an instant, the temperature in the library seemed to drop to freezing point.

Maintain the status quo

Why is this...

Could it be related to the Demon King's orders?

But what kind of person would want his daughter to remain in this half-dead state...

"If this continues, she will only feel pain."

As time goes by, Zero's health will only get worse until it is beyond repair.

Recalling Zero's sad expression, Ye Shi no longer wanted to see it.

"This is her fate."

The response, as cold as a blade, directly blocked Ye Shi's throat.

Maria didn't intend to continue arguing with her. After bowing politely, she slowly turned around and faced Ye Shi with her back.

The black wings extending outward from the slender waist are extremely eye-catching, and each feather gleams like scales in the dim light.

"It's enough for her to stay the way she is now. Just like a withered petal, it will slowly fall off and rot over time."

As she spoke, a creepy smile appeared at the corner of Maria's mouth.

"Wait..." Ye Shi was about to say something else...

The black feathers fluttered, and Maria disappeared from sight.

Only a few pitch-black feathers were left, floating in the air, falling bit by bit to the ground where the high heels had stepped.

In the dark space, only Ye Shi was left standing there, surrounded by dead silence.

"Slowly rotting"...

Is this the ending Miss Maria wants to face?

Ye Shi held her forehead with her hand. Before this incident happened, she vaguely felt that something was wrong.

She had long guessed that her and Yu Yi's actions would most likely be rejected, so she began to investigate Miss Maria.

Now it seems that this choice is correct.

Unfortunately, the investigation is still a step behind.

Ye Shi really couldn't understand the current situation, it was too weird.

Was letting Zero die slowly out of Maria's selfishness or the Demon King's order?

Since you want Zero to die, why not just do it directly instead of letting her live.

I always feel like there's something wrong...

Ye Shi wanted to get closer to the truth, but the clues had been interrupted.

"senior!"

Just then, a pleasant voice came from the other half of the library.

It was the future. She had already finished her work at the library and was jogging over here.

"Senior, is the investigation mission going smoothly?"

She stopped in front of Ye Shi, wiped the sweat from her cheeks with a towel, and asked with a dazzling smile.

“…”

Ye Shi didn't answer.

"Senior..." Weilai seemed to sense something was wrong, blinked his amber eyes, raised his head to look at Ye Shi's face, and asked anxiously:

"Your expression is so heavy, did something happen?"

After spending a long time together, Mirai will be able to sense the emotions hidden in Ye Shi's unchanging poker face.

"....nothing."

After thinking about it, Ye Si decided not to tell Wei Li what had just happened so as not to make her worry.

This is not something a young magical girl can help with.

"Sorry, wait... you might need to walk home by yourself."

Ye Shi took a step forward and walked back in the direction he came from, with extremely complicated emotions revealed in his red eyes.

"Y-Did something unexpected happen?"

Wei Lai followed behind Ye Si, pursed her lips, looked at her lonely back, and asked uncertainly.

"The clues are broken."

Ye Shi responded surprisingly calmly.

"I'm sorry I couldn't help again..."

Future lowered his head, like a child who had made a mistake, and felt guilty again for his inability to do anything.

"No, it's not your fault."

Ye Shi shook his head.

This failure should be attributed to my carelessness. I had no idea about the complicated relationships within the Demon King, which led to things developing to this point.

Two lonely footsteps echoed in the library.

Before they knew it, they arrived at the library's main door, pushed open the heavy wooden door, and locked it again.

The sunlight outside the door was too bright, and it made Future, who had been accustomed to the dim environment for a long time, feel dazzling, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes.

"Senior, what should we do next..."

Mirai raised her hand to block the sun, looked at Ye Si's back, and mustered up the courage to ask.

She knew that her senior was very disappointed and wanted to help her cheer up, but she didn't know how to do it and could only stand there and worry.

"I'm going somewhere." Ye Shi replied.

"Are you going to relax? That's good. Senior has been too tense all the time. You should relax."

Wei Lai nodded repeatedly, thinking that Ye Shi was going there to relax and relieve his anxiety.

Unexpectedly, Ye Si's reaction was...

"Do not."
