Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 195 Mission: 04-6 Contestants

"Oh, what a beautiful sight."

After the closing ceremony of "Flowers of a Thousand Rivers and Lakes", at [Nameless]'s base, Izayoi, who had been sunbathing all day on a recliner wearing sunglasses, chuckled and spoke to Leticia who was passing by, "What do you think, Leticia?"

"Even as a woman, I have to agree that Black Rabbit's swimsuit is very pleasing to the eye."

The petite blonde maid replied expressionlessly, "But aren't you a little too leisurely, Master?"

"It can't be helped, right? After all, today is Thousand Eyes' home game. Other communities won't be so tactless as to hold a Gift Game at this time."

Izayoi picked up the ice water that Leticia had just put down, drank it all in one gulp, then put it back in her hand and said, "Thank you very much."

Leticia sighed and said, "Is there anything else to do besides the Gift Game? I have to admit that cheering on your companions is an important job, but Master, you look like you're completely on vacation."

This will set a bad example for the children, said Leticia.

"No, no, no. Combining work and rest is the right way to bring out one's full potential. Or rather, I just think those kids are working too hard."

Izayoi took off his sunglasses and sat up from the recliner. He looked at Leticia who was standing still beside him and asked, "Okay, let's get down to business. What do you want to say, Leticia?"

Leticia usually didn't talk much, being the type who "talked less and did more." If Izayoi and the others hadn't initiated the conversation, she would generally only talk about things related to work or the community.

"Regarding the matter that Master Baiyasha mentioned last time, what have you thought about?"

Hearing Leticia's question, Izayoi briefly recalled the topic from the vast and complex reserves in his brain. "Is it referring to the gift game of the [Beast of Six Hundred and Sixty-Six]?"

This game has remained shrouded in mystery until now. Participation requires an invitation from the "Six Hundred and Sixty-Six Beasts." These invitations are sent to large, well-known communities or powerful individuals within the small garden. Without exception, these powerful individuals and communities possess "Demon" or similar spiritual qualities.

"We've found the invitation to the Halloween Queen," Leticia said. "It's likely for the Will-O-Wisp she's so excited about. Lady Shiroyasha will probably need our response soon."

According to Bai Yasha, there are only two conditions for participation stated in the invitation letter: first, the contestants need to possess spiritual qualities such as "demon", "ghost", and "elf"; second, the contestants can bring up to one assistant, and the assistant is not required to have the above-mentioned spiritual qualities.

Of course, Baiyasha intended to give the invitation to [Nameless], and among [Nameless], only Leticia met the requirements. As long as Leticia nodded, Baiyasha would hand the invitation to her.

However, since Leticia now considered herself a "maid," such matters naturally required her master's approval. Therefore, she left the answer to this question to Izayoi, Asuka, and Yo.

If any of these three is willing to participate, then Leticia will join this gift game with him.

Neither Asuka nor Yō had any intention of refusing. However, they tacitly gave priority to Izayoi, the strongest of the three. Also, since Yōi had little interest in demons and spirits, if Izayoi refused, Asuka and Leticia would likely join.

After a moment of silence, Izayoi pouted and replied, "...As expected, I'll join."

"You don't sound interested?" "Of course. Isn't this just working for the Beast of Six Hundred and Sixty-Six?" Izayoi said with a sneer. "Most people who are willing to join in the fun are probably thinking, 'Just in case I can snatch food from the tiger's mouth,' but I don't hold out much hope for that."

But suddenly, his expression changed, revealing a sinister smile as he said, "But if you're just going to cause trouble, then I'm a little interested."

More than just a little, the human named Izayoi Sakamaki was a real troublemaker. Leticia sighed silently and said, "We are participating on behalf of Lord Shiroyasha. Please show some mercy in this regard."

Izayoi laughed heartily and lay back down. "Don't worry, I know my limits. Besides, when it comes to Hakuyasha's reputation, there's really nothing to ruin."

After all, the title of "the most vicious demon king" was earned bit by bit by Hakuyasha himself.

"Ever since Lady Shiroyasha converted to Buddhism, she's been praised mostly." After Izayoi made a joke, Leticia relaxed a bit, a smile appearing on her face. "But if you're not interested, why are you willing to participate, Master?"

"I just thought there might be an opponent there who could give me some energy."

Izayoi replied calmly, "Besides, most beings who possess the spiritual power of 'Demon' or 'Evil Ghost' are extremely vicious. Kasukabe aside, there's absolutely no way a young lady like me today could protect herself from them."

In other words, the first reason he joined the game was not because he wanted to participate, but because he did not want other members to be in danger.

And Leticia believed that when Asuka and Yō returned, Izayoi would act like, "This is the fun I want to have, you guys don't interfere." Even though she was powerful, she would watch her back. Even though she longed for "fun," she would prioritize the safety of her friends. She enjoyed games, was responsible, and valued her friends. This kind of Izayoi was the perfect person to live in the "Little Garden," and she was worthy of being [Nameless]'s current backbone.

It was precisely because of his existence that Leticia was willing to believe in Black Rabbit's naive idea of ​​reviving [Nameless].

Because he vaguely made Leticia see the shadow of the "founder" who had been exiled from the box garden.

"Then I'll trouble you, Master."

"Yeah. But Leticia, please don't let anything slip."

If I told the other two directly that Izayoi decided to participate because she was afraid they would be in danger, it would be the same as saying, "You are too weak and are completely holding Leticia back." So in order not to hurt their pride, Izayoi must, and can only, be interested in the game itself.

Leticia understood and asked, "Master, what are you talking about? Didn't you say you wanted to disrupt the competition?"

"Haha, it's true!"

Izayoi laughed heartily, put on his sunglasses comfortably, and looked into the distance at the setting sun.
