jingle--

The slightly noisy ringing of the telephone rang out in the dim light.

This is a classically decorated cafe. A small maid stands at the counter and walks towards the phone.

A few seconds later, the microphone was raised by a white and tender hand.

"Hello, this is Ahnenerbe."

"Original" held the microphone, which was a bit too big for her small palms, and put it to her ear.

"...We don't sell mapo tofu in our shop, we sell magic eyes and curry, and..."

She gripped the phone tightly and gritted her teeth as she said, "The restaurant isn't open to the public right now. Come over if you want to eat! Elquet, how bored are you?"

I don’t know how many times I’ve called.

"Original" sighed, feeling helpless about Elquet's childishness.

However, just when she was about to hang up the phone.

"If there is no Mapo Tofu, I will knead you until you meow." The princess's smiling voice reached her ears.

"...Master, when will you arrive?"

"Oh, I don't know. I'm with Na Yue-chan right now."

"...Understood."

Click, the phone hangs up.

"Original" looked at Nagisa Akatsuki for help with calm yet panicked eyes.

"My miko, can you make mapo tofu?"

Nagisa Akatsuki, who was excitedly pinching the hem of her maid skirt, raised her head and said, "Chinese food... I know how to make it~"

"...Please, meow."

"Okay~"

With her skirt flying, the girl walked lively towards the kitchen.

On the other side, Elquet happily put down the microphone.

That's what pets are for.

Elquet gently lay down on the recliner, and the aroma of black tea around her made her feel even happier.

"...If you are bored, come and help me deal with the documents." Nangong Nayue, who was sitting among the pile of documents, stopped her tired hands.

"Teacher Nangong, this is done." Yezane Natsune handed over the processed document.

"Thank you, Xia Yin." Nangong Nayue rubbed his brow with a headache. "...Who is responsible for the affairs on the Magic Eye Collection Train?"

"The one who manages the Mystic Eye Collection Train..."

Arquette looked up thoughtfully.

On the train, a serious-looking Nekkerkui was sitting with his legs crossed, looking at documents.

As if she sensed a gaze from somewhere, she meowed and raised her head.

The funny characters are so powerful.

Elquet nodded silently and called out a Nicolás Elquet beside him.

Their eyes met, and the latter nodded in understanding, took out a smart phone, and started dialing.

A few seconds later, a government official named Nekkerkui with flames shooting out of his feet flew to the window.

"...Why didn't you take it out earlier?"

Looking at Nico Keerkui who began to handle the affairs skillfully, Nangong Nayue sighed helplessly.

She picked up the black tea on the table and drank it slowly.

The warm tea relieved the fatigue of the day.

"Isn't this just to give you an experience?"

Elquet ran to Xia Yin and put the document the girl was working on into the hands of Government Affairs Officer Elquet.

Xia Yin was lifted up by a gentle force and walked to Nangong Nayue with Elquet.

"Let's go and get ready for dinner." The orange afterglow cast a smile on Elquet's face. She raised her palm forward. "Destination - Ahnenerbe."

......

"Meow meow meow~"

"Original" flipped and moved on Elquet's legs, trying to relieve the itch coming from his ears and tail.

Even though Akatsuki Nagisa started cooking immediately, she was still no match for the Void Witch's space jump.

Xia Yin stared at the meowing "Original", and the expectation in her eyes turned into reality.

Seeing the girl's expectant look, Arquette smiled and placed the panting "Original" in her hand.

The sensitive parts were attacked again, but differently than before.

"Meow, it feels so good~"

"Yuan Chu" gurgled and curled up in Xia Yin's arms.

"What a skillful technique," Elquet admired softly.

"I usually go to the monastery to take care of cats." Xia Yin narrowed her eyes happily, and her hands moved more gently. "If you want to learn, I can teach you."

"Okay."

"Let's eat~" Nagisa Akatsuki's voice interrupted their conversation. She came out with food, followed by a row of Neko Kirkui.

"Come on~"

The round tables in the cafe's lobby are filled with a variety of dishes.

Agurola stared warily at the bubbling black liquid in front of him - Bing Kuoluo.

After a few seconds, she tremblingly picked up the glass and drank it, her eyes suddenly widening.

"The supreme delicacy! Is nectar descending upon the world?"

Agurola, whose eyes were sparkling from the stimulation of carbonation, drank the whole Coke in one gulp and burped cutely.

"Pepsi! God!"

Under Agurola's expectant eyes, Elquet filled her glass.

"Xia Yin, come quickly, sit down, eat as much as you want."

Nagisa Akatsuki greeted the somewhat awkward Natsune. Although Natsune had been here for some time, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

How pitiful.

Nagisa Akatsuki looked at her former classmate with pity.

It must be because of her poor family background and domestic violence - this was the reason Elquet told her.

"Then let's celebrate Xia Yin's escape and the official opening of Ahnenerbe~"

Nagisa Akatsuki's cheerful voice ushered in the dinner.

"This salad is one I'm really proud of. It has a homemade dressing with walnuts, peanuts, and sesame seeds. And over here is the cafe's curry, over there is Nagisa's homemade mapo tofu, and the gnocchi is almost ready."

"Huh oh oh!" Agulola immediately picked up his chopsticks, his eyes shining with excitement.

"Thank you...thank you."

Perhaps influenced by Nagisa's enthusiasm, Natsune also smiled faintly.

"You're welcome~ From now on we'll be classmates again."

Ok?

Arquette looked up blankly.

As Nagisa Akatsuki's homeroom teacher, how could she not know about this?

"You didn't read the documents I put in your room, did you?" Nangong Nayue, who had just taken her seat, glanced at her without surprise. "And you didn't read the notice from the school either, did you?"

"...Are there any more of that kind?"

"Of course, besides Xia Yin, there is another person who will transfer to your class."

"Who is it?"

Jingle Bell--

Nangong Nayue's words were interrupted by the bell at the door.

Ahnenerbe is divided into two parts. The outer part is the area where the Magic Eye's affairs are handled, while the inner part is a cafe that is temporarily closed to the public.

But now the cafe, which is not open to the public, has customers.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and everyone turned around at the same time, and a girl in a familiar uniform came into view.

The girl, with her shoulder-length black hair swaying slightly, carried a guitar case and walked into the private cafe as if she was at ease.

Perhaps startled by the sudden quiet atmosphere, she shrugged her shoulders and sat stiffly on a chair not far away.

That thin figure didn't fit in with Elquet's side.

The girl raised the menu and looked over here secretly.

As if she noticed that she was being stared at, she returned to the menu in panic.

"Here, it's her."

Nangong Nayue's unfinished words were heard.

Chapter 25 Himehira Setsuna

Himeragi Setsuna sat in the center of the worship hall without saying a word.

A butterfly, flapping its wings quietly, landed in front of her and transformed into a photograph.

The photo shows a female student in a high school uniform.

It seems that someone secretly took this photo of her cute face sleeping in class. Her expression is defenseless and she looks like she can be taken advantage of at any time.

“What is this photo?”

"She is the fourth true ancestor." A voice came from behind the curtain in front of Himeragi Setsuna.

"Are you referring to the 'Flame Night Lord,' the fourth True Ancestor who is said to lead twelve familiars?"

Himeragi Yukina held her breath. Any normal magician would be silent for a while upon hearing this name.

Because this is the title held by the world's strongest vampire.

However, many people now believe that the Fifth True Ancestor is superior.

She stared silently at the photo in front of her. The fourth true ancestor... was a student?

"But I heard that the Fourth True Ancestor doesn't actually exist. Some people think it's just an urban legend."

"Indeed, there are only four recognized True Ancestors: the 'Forgotten War Lord' who rules Europe, the 'Eye of Extinction' who leads Western Asia, the 'Chaos Princess' who rules North and South America, and the 'Moon Princess' who owns the Mystic Eye Collection Train. Compared to them, the Fourth and Fifth True Ancestors do not have their own vampires or territories."

The voice behind the curtain continued, "But just half a year ago, the Fourth True Ancestor announced the location of his Empire of Night—Genjin Island."

"We also discovered that the Fifth True Ancestor was behind the Fourth True Ancestor's powerful appearance."

Himeragi Yukina took a deep breath, she knew the key point was about to appear.

"Himehira Setsuna, we need you to investigate the truth behind this and monitor the Fourth True Ancestor. It would also be best if we could learn about the Mystic Eye that can kill the True Ancestor."

"You want me to be responsible...?"

As if noticing Himeragi Yukina's surprise, the voice behind the curtain softly comforted her, "Don't worry, we have a very friendly relationship with the Fifth True Ancestor, and the Mystic Eye Collection Train has also set up a base on Genkami Island. Don't worry too much about your safety."

Very friendly relationship?

really?

Himeragi Yukina was silent for a few seconds, then seemed to have discovered something and asked softly.
