Isn't it very scientific to use the Death Note to kill people?

"That's the same as mine, but it's a little unexpected."

"Ok?"

"Actually, I originally thought Mr. Lin would be a little older..." Okino Yoko said, choosing her words a little cautiously. "Well, how should I put it? Judging from his appearance, Mr. Lin looks very young and very handsome, but is it because of his temperament? He seems much more mature."

"I'd be devastated if I were told I looked old."

"That's not the case. Mr. Lin is really very handsome. In fact, no male idol or actor I've ever seen can compare to him."

Fortunately, there were no paparazzi nearby, otherwise if what Chou No Yoko said got out, it might have been in the newspaper the next day.

But some people at the nearby tables had already started paying attention to this place. They probably recognized Okino Yoko but weren't sure...

"It looks like you're about to be recognized, Miss Yoko."

"Ah good."

Yoko Okino hurriedly took two more bites of ice cream, then put on a mask and a hat. Her deceptive act of covering her ears and stealing the bell actually allowed the people at the next table to confirm her identity, but fortunately, no one spoke out until she left the restaurant and got into the car.

Lin Jiashu drove her back to the apartment.

The night view of rice flowers after dinner time is not strange, but when driving on the road at night, the shadows of street lamps along the way are cast on the windshield and slowly pass by, it makes people feel relaxed for some reason.

"I really had a great time today, Teacher Lin."

"Me too, Ms. Yoko."

"Ah."

When they were about to arrive at the apartment, Yoko Okino looked over. She stared at Hayashi Yoshiki's face and seemed to hesitate for a moment.

"what happened?"

"...Well, how about Mr. Lin just calling me Yoko? Otherwise it feels too strange."

"Okay, Yoko."

Lin Jiashu is quick to accept advice.

At this moment, he just stepped on the brake to stop the car, and then he smiled back at her: "Then Yoko, please call me by my name too."

"Okay, Yoshiki-kun."

After shouting, she gave Yoko Nono a bright smile.

She put her hand on the door handle, opened the door and got out of the car. Then she stood outside the door and leaned over to look at the driver's seat:

"Goodbye then, Yoshiki-kun."

Well, because I went back to my hometown today...so it's still two chapters

Chapter 41: Blocking the Witch's Door

For the witch, today was just an ordinary day.

There is no surprise or mystery, just boring and meaningless time.

While the teacher on the stage was lecturing in a tone without much emotion, Koizumi Akako just propped her cheeks up with her hands and looked out the window at the sky in boredom.

It's raining outside.

It has been drizzling since this morning and the sky has been gloomy, which makes people feel depressed.

When Koizumi Akako was staring out the window in a daze, many male students in the class were secretly paying attention to her. When she noticed that they occasionally looked back, these restless boys in adolescence immediately turned their eyes away with red faces.

Ah……

Koizumi Hongzi is no longer surprised.

After all, this was a natural phenomenon for her.

Koizumi Akako is deeply aware of her own beauty and is narcissistic about it. With the help of magic, she can even capture the hearts of almost all men in the world.

"Hongzi-san, someone from outside the school is looking for you."

The head teacher suddenly appeared at the door and shouted to the class.

Koizumi Hongzi was stunned.

She didn't think she knew anyone outside the school who would come to the school specifically to find her. In fact, as proud as she was, she had never even considered anyone a friend... maybe Aoko Nakamori could be considered half a friend.

Although confused, Koizumi Hongzi still stood up and walked out of the classroom.

Following the homeroom teacher to the corridor, the moment I saw that person from outside the school—

"Good afternoon, Koizumi Akako-san."

The incredibly handsome man greeted.

His voice was intellectual and gentle, and his clear eyes looked over here, clearly reflecting the tense look of Koizumi Hongzi.

He was smiling.

But all around him, there was a black aura of death...

"you--"

"Thank you very much for helping me find my lost property. It contained something very important to me, so I came here specially to thank you."

Before Koizumi Hongzi could finish her words, Lin Jiashu spoke in a gentle voice.

The homeroom teacher next to him smiled broadly and said, "You really did a good thing, Hongzi."

"Yes, teacher, can you please let me and Koizumi-san say a few words of thanks in private? It only takes a few minutes."

"Okay, Mr. Lin, please go ahead."

This is probably the benefit of fame.

At least after Lin Jiashu arrived at Jianggutian High School, he just handed over a business card and gave a reason, and basically got the green light to pass.

"Who are you?" Koizumi Hongzi looked at him with a vigilant and dangerous look.

"Please don't be nervous, Koizumi-san." Hayashi Yoshiki's voice remained calm. He narrowed his eyes and smiled brightly. "'The elusive fortune teller', that must be you, right?"

"..."

How could I be exposed?

After her identity was exposed, Koizumi Hongzi's eyes became increasingly dark.

She subconsciously wondered if the man in front of her had the ability to use magic like herself... Indeed, the aura emanating from him was so terrifying and deadly.

"Actually, when I was doing the divination that day, I took the opportunity to observe your hands under your cloak."

"..."

"Those hands are very slender and youthful, so I can tell you're a young woman. Furthermore, based on the information I've gathered, the few sightings of the 'elusive fortune teller' are almost exclusively between the time after school and before dinner, and occasionally on weekends. Therefore, I suspect you might be a student at a nearby school."

"Finally, Hongzi-san is the transfer student who just came here this year, right?"

"Coincidentally, the rumors about the 'elusive fortune teller' appeared shortly after you transferred to Ekoda."

"Of course, the main reason is that Hongzi is too conspicuous. Otherwise, with so many students at Jianggutian High School, it would be difficult to notice just one person."

——The above is the "inference" made on the premise of knowing the answer, and it is also the excuse that Lin Jiashu had thought of early on.

Koizumi Hongzi didn't seem to expect this answer. A look of bewilderment appeared in her wine-red eyes, but she immediately said, "Even if that's the case, you can't be an ordinary person! What is your purpose?"

"I just want to ask Koizumi-san for a favor. I want to divine someone's real name."

Lin Jiashu said in a gentle tone.

Although he looked calm on the surface, he was secretly on high alert - Koizumi Hongzi's reaction was a little beyond his expectations.

There is no way I can be an ordinary person?

For Hayashi Yoshiki, who thinks he is just an ordinary person except for the Death Note, what Koizumi Akako said is really intriguing.

Have you revealed your true colors in some way?

Or is it that it is too suspicious for an ordinary person to believe in divination too much?

Or in other words... can this witch perceive something that ordinary people cannot?

This is not good.

In fact, shortly after obtaining the name "Cointreau", Lin Jiashu read a lot of miscellaneous information on the organization's intranet - some of which were about magic. Even the wineries across multiple countries that were able to research and develop rejuvenation drugs and various black technologies were unaware of this.

However, despite being cautious, Lin Jiashu was not too panicked. After all, it was impossible for him to rashly come into contact with a witch without making any preparations.

"Like I said, to divine someone's name, you need to have an object that's imbued with their aura or possesses their personal characteristics. This is a necessary condition."

"Well, these are all ready."

"..."

Taking the handwritten signature from Hayashi Yoshiki, Koizumi Hongzi glanced at it and said, "Alright, let's just consider it as completing the divination that I couldn't do last time. But don't expect a 100% accurate answer."

"So there's no way to guarantee 100% accuracy?"

Lin Jiashu said, but he didn't seem disappointed. "Well, it doesn't matter. I'd be grateful for even a little chance... In exchange, Koizumi-san, you can tell me what conditions you have."

"You can tell me any conditions? Well, what if I want to know your secret?"

The proud witch said it without any courtesy.

In her eyes, Lin Jiashu's aura of death was indeed terrifying. When she touched him, she wanted to avoid him...

But then again, this was the first time she had seen something like this in her more than ten years of life, so she couldn't help but feel a little curious.

The smile on Lin Jiashu's face remained unchanged.

How could I possibly tell others my secret?

Thinking so, he responded very sincerely:

"Sure."

Chapter 42: Could it be Cointreau!?

"I see. Are you saying there's a terrifying aura about me?"

"A black, ominous aura..."

"It's really nerve-wracking."

"Maybe this has something to do with my personal ability."

On his face, which always had a gentle smile, Koizumi Hongzi saw a somewhat complicated expression.

That was a somewhat pale, lonely look...

"Actually, I can foresee the death of some people to a certain extent."

He said this with a smile.

Although he was smiling, it seemed more like self-mockery. The look in his eyes was really hard to bear.

Is it sadness?

Or is it powerlessness?

His clean and clear face faced Koizumi Hongzi directly. The deathly atmosphere surrounding him and his calm and gentle expression seemed to be two extremes. However, precisely because of this, the emotions he revealed were more obvious.

Koizumi Hongzi listened to it.

She instinctively knew that the man in front of her was not lying, as there was no haze in his clear eyes...but there might be something hidden in his words.

She became interested.

"Do you have any evidence? And why do you believe so strongly that my divination can help you?"

This is the first time that Koizumi Akako has encountered someone with mysterious abilities other than her own family.

When she first met him, she felt that the man in front of her was very scary...

However, after just a few minutes of contact, the other person's words and personality seemed quite easy to get along with.

Of course, Koizumi Akako would not let her guard down just like that.
