Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 122 Mission: 06-1 No name
"So, what do we want to talk about?"

As Shiina Riki took her seat, Aine could almost immediately smell the scent of blood and gore. She could only look for help at Shuangshi, the one who had initiated this gathering.

The reason they were all gathered here was because of Souyo. After Aine and Deng said goodbye to Nero, they almost immediately received a message from Souyo saying that he wanted to meet at Yuze Coffee Shop.

"Come to think of it, it wasn't mentioned in the message." Shuangshi didn't care about Li Xi's slightly sarcastic attitude and responded with a smile: "The main reason I called everyone here this time is to discuss the reorganization."

"Reorganization?" Hearing this, Li Xi was also somewhat moved. She looked at Gao Songdeng and asked softly, "Deng, what do you think?"

Deng was suddenly at a loss when asked: "Um..."

At this point, Aine raised her hand to interrupt the discussion: "Um... Soyo-san, if I heard correctly, are we planning to re-form the Derby Girls team?"

"That's right." Shuangshi supported his chin with both hands and looked at her with a smile.

"In that case, wouldn't it be a bad idea to exclude Lenai?"

As a normal modern person with common sense in interpersonal communication, Aine gently but directly raised her concerns: "Does anyone have her contact information? She was the one who first suggested we go together, but when we formed a team, she was left out. This is..."

"It doesn't matter."

It was Riki who interrupted Aine: "That guy will come if he wants to."

Her tone was very aggressive, and it was obvious that she was very unhappy that Aine had interrupted her conversation with Deng.

“Isn’t it generally an obligation to inform people in situations like this?” Aine leaned forward, slightly out of her chair, to make her attitude more compelling. “Don’t you think this is rude?”

The situation became tense, and Shuangshi had to call out to the two of them: "Lixi."

"Hmph." Li Xi leaned back in his chair with his hands folded.

Shuangshi first frowned and signaled Li Xi, who had an even worse attitude, to control himself. Then he looked at Aine, his expression turning from gloomy to bright. "I understand your thoughts, Aine. But when little Lenai left, she didn't leave any contact information for anyone, right?"

Aine lowered her head and thought, it was indeed the case. She rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly and forced a smile, "Sorry, Shuangshi-kun, I got a little excited."

"It's okay." Shuangshi said with a smile, "But everyone should keep their voices down when discussing this. This topic is a bit confidential, and more importantly, Xiaodeng will be scared."

Aine looked towards Deng and realized that she was just as Shuangshi had said, shrinking her neck and looking a little timid.

Shuangshi paused, looked around at the people with different expressions, and continued, "But it seems that no one has any objection to this matter, right?"

Aine looked away from Deng and responded to Shuangshi: "I definitely hope to act together with everyone..."

After all, her weapon, "Almathea", is a shield used to create a barrier and does not have the ability to kill demons alone.

Shuangshi confirmed the first answer and then looked at Deng, waiting for her response. Because Deng was the only partner that Lixi recognized, as long as she agreed, Lixi would probably join.

The outcome of this conversation will ultimately depend on her opinion.

Deng and Shuangshi exchanged a glance, their gazes instantly breaking apart, and they lowered their heads again. Then, she stole a glance at Aine, and finally, she slowly nodded and said, "I, I can do that, too."

Shuangshi's gaze then fell on Lixi, and he silently asked her, "Deng has already agreed, what are you going to do?" Lixi turned away helplessly, looking out the window, and said softly, "Well, it's not impossible."

Everyone successfully reached a consensus. Shuangshi slowly exhaled, stepped back from his position leaning against the table, and sat up straight: "So..." "Then it's time to give our team a name, right!" Aine immediately stood up and answered.

As a community, they couldn't do without a name. And it just so happened that Aine (she thought) was best at naming.

But what she didn't expect was that as soon as these words came out, Shuangshi immediately froze.

"Eh?" Seeing this, Aine thought she had said something wrong and looked towards Riki and Deng. Riki also looked serious, while Deng was clutching the notebook tightly in his hands.

No, don't think that's her reaction to saying something wrong. Aiyin quickly lowered her voice, shrunk back in her chair, and asked, "Um... is there a problem?"

“No…Aine, you’re right.” Shuangshi frowned slightly and rubbed his forehead twice. “A name is indeed necessary, but…”

Li Xi was straightforward, unlike Shuang Shi who was evasive: "I vaguely remember that we had a name, but I just can't remember it."

She looked at Deng, who shook his head to indicate that he didn't remember either.

Shuangshi sighed and said, "This should also be the power of 'Xiaoxiang', right? Who is she?"

"Important...friends." Deng whispered.

Aiyin looked at the silent group, unsure whether she should speak or not. Finally, it was Riki who broke the tense atmosphere and said, "Never mind. Since that girl told us to forget the name, it means she doesn't want it anymore."

"In that case, it's okay to give it a new name."

"Li Xi..." Shuangshi spoke, as if he wanted to stop him, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Deng nodded and whispered, "Hmm... a new name is good. What's lost can't be brought back."

"Clang."

The teacup in Shuangshi's hand trembled violently, and the bottom of the cup collided with the saucer, making a crisp sound. The others looked over.

"It's okay." Shuangshi's expression remained calm as he slowly put down the cup in his hand. "The tea was a little hot, and I didn't hold it steady for a moment."

Could a cup with an ear-shaped handle also burn my hands? Aine was puzzled for a moment, then realized that maybe her finger accidentally touched the cup. She also followed Shuangshi's example and put the cup down, and then a trace of doubt flashed through her mind again.

The most elegant way to hold a cup is to pinch the top of the cup handle with the tips of three fingers. All the fingers are located on the outermost edge of the cup handle and cannot touch the cup body.

So……

She didn't continue to think about this problem deeply because Shuangshi started talking again.

"I actually have something more important to talk about than naming the team."

"Eh? What is it?" Aine asked.

"It's about our former companion, Wakaba Mu."

Shuangshi said slowly and without letting anyone refuse.
