The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　Little Devimon landed on Dark's head with a "plop" and asked happily, "Is everything in the club sorted out?"

　Dak took it off his head and said, "It's done."

　Little Devimon quickly asked, "Then where is our clubroom?"

　Dark pointed out the window and laughed, "The tenth floor of the clock tower, I'll take you there later. As for now... let's first see what Archmage Peter left us."

　"The clock tower, the tenth floor?"

　Little Demon Beast recalls the location of the Spiral Clock Tower.

　"Bah!"

　Eevee-chan, however, exclaimed excitedly.

　After the Blue-Eyes baby dragon carefully moved over, Dark took the cardboard box to the middle of the bedroom and began picking through it in front of all the magical spirits.

　He first removed some of the most obvious odds and ends, such as a magic pen broken in two, a shattered test tube, a dirty cat toy, and a piece of wood that looked like a stool leg.

　Then pick out some things that look plausible from them.

　As he picked through the items, Dak asked, "Professor Lily, have you found anything?"

　Professor Lily peered into the cardboard box for a long time, but only shook her head, looking completely bewildered.

　"Even a little fairy can't tell if there's a secret treasure among them?"

　Dark smacked his lips, suddenly feeling extremely troubled.

　He looked at it carefully again, then grabbed a golden chain from the cardboard box and slowly pulled out an old pocket watch about the size of his palm.

　“Principal Arte must have given me these things left over from the Fantastic Beasts Club for a reason.”

　Darke took the pocket watch in his hand and examined it, saying, "Look at this pocket watch. This should be the most authentic thing in there."

　The pocket watch had some rust on its case, the hands inside were no longer moving, and the dangling gold chain was probably made of copper.

　Turn the pocket watch over and you can see something like runes or magic circles engraved on the back.

　But when Dak brought it up, Lily glanced at it and said, "It's just a trademark."

　Dak couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

　"What about this?"

　He then picked out a key from the box and asked, "Could this be a key to some hidden space? It can only be triggered at the right time and place, so there's nothing unusual about it right now."

　Lily held up two fingers, pinched the key, and examined it closely. She then said, "It's a regular iron key, the same style as the classroom key. This should be the key to the Magical Creatures Club's former clubroom."

　Dark: "Then take a look at this, a notebook filled with mysterious writing."

　After casually tossing the keys aside, Lily picked up the laptop by the corner and shook it, instantly releasing a cloud of dust.

　Then she flipped through the notebook and glanced at it a few times before saying, "Unfortunately, this should be a diary. Its owner probably used the Nissenld script to prevent others from reading it."

　"What is the Nissenld clan?" Darke couldn't help but ask.

　A glint flashed in Lily's eyes as she said, "A small clan that has been extinct for a long time. I'm afraid few people in this era know of its existence."

　Dark frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "Then who is the owner of this diary? Peter Shelvich? Or some other member of the society?"

　"Let me see." Lily turned the diary back to the first page and read out the name of the diary's owner in a special language.

　Dark asked in confusion, "Who?"

　Lily translated, "Ursula Springhall."

　"Aren't you from the Nissenld clan?" Dark asked curiously.

　Lily shook her head and said, "No."

　Dark then pondered carefully, "Ursula Springhall, a name I've never heard of before. Is she also a member of the Fantastic Beasts Society? Let me sort out my thoughts."

　The founder of the Fantastic Beasts Company is "Grand Magus" Peter Sherwich, a half-goblin from the Fools' House.

　The second member is Claire Kate, the "Sage of the Beast".

　Although Claire graduated from the Magic Academy, before her second year, she was just a quiet girl who liked to read and didn't have any other special talents.

　So when Claire was asked to join at least one club in her second year, she chose the Fantastic Beasts Club, which at the time had only one member and didn't have any requirements for the member's abilities.

　Her initial goal was probably just to find a quiet place to read a book...

　Since Peter Sherwich also shared a love of reading, they got together.

　Later, Claire met Alvette because of the escape of the fat cat "Galileo".

　And so, Alvitt, whose soul was captivated by "Galileo," became the third member of the Fantastic Beasts Company.

　Then came the fourth member...

　So who exactly is the fourth member?

　Dark suddenly realized that his knowledge of the Fantastic Beasts Society was still very limited.

　He only knew that "Hero" Black God was also a member of the Fantastic Beasts Order, but he didn't know how Black God joined or which member he was.

　What was the opportunity that led him to join the Fantastic Beasts Society?

　Like Alvit, did she meet Claire while solving a magical creature incident and then get pulled into the group?

　So, who is the fifth person who forms the basic structure of the organization?

　Is it Ursula Springhall, the one who loved writing in her diary?

　……

　Ultimately, Dark doesn't know how many members the Fantastic Beasts Company has, who they are, or where they are now.

　He did consider asking about it during his vacation, but ultimately didn't say anything.

　Claire's decline after the war was largely due to the deaths of Peter Shelwich and others.

　Bringing up the past only brings more sorrow.

　You should explore it yourself.

　……

　Dark looked up at Lily and said, "Perhaps we can find something in Ursula Springhall's diary?"

　Lily blinked, picked up her notebook, slammed it shut twice, and then opened it again, showing through her actions that she didn't want to do these troublesome things.

　Dak stared at her for a long time, but only let her gaze drift further and further away.

　"Busy, busy—"

　As Dark looked up at the sky, Ditto suddenly hopped over holding a trash slime and deliberately shook it.

　Dark stared at it for a while, and his blocked thoughts suddenly became clearer. He immediately understood what Ditto meant.

　"Taobao, Taobao, don't I have a ready-made treasure detector?"

　Thinking of this, Dark's gaze toward the trash slime held a hint of delight.

　The trash slime immediately jumped for joy.

　It is happy and content as long as it is useful to its owner.

　"Let's start with 'Greedy Slime 1'."

　Dark took the trash slime from Ditto's hands, then drew out "Greed 2" and quickly activated it.

　As pale blue light shone on the trash slime, the slime, which originally looked like a puddle of green slime, gradually expanded in the light, changing from a slime-like state to a jelly-like state, and its body color changed from green to a bluish-green.

　"Trash Slime" → "Greedy Slime 1"!

　"Pfft!"

　Still in Dark's palm, "Greedy Slime 1" gradually sharpened its gaze, following Dark's instructions to stare intently at the remaining miscellaneous items in the cardboard box.

　Its unique and powerful ability, "treasure-hunting sense," is coming into play.

　"Puyo puyo!"

　A few seconds later, "Greedy Slime 1" suddenly jumped up, its face showing excitement.

　It seems that even with Dark as a huge source of interference, "Greedy Slime 1" still managed to smell more treasure.

　Dak crouched down, placed it beside the cardboard box, and asked further, "Is there treasure in this box?"

　"Puyo puyo!"

　"Greedy Slime 1" nodded vigorously.

　Darke couldn't help but smile and said, "Then can you figure out which one it is?"

　Inside the cardboard box were a discarded magic card, a trophy that appeared to be made of bronze, two badges, two unopened letters, several bottles of mostly expired potions, withered branches and flowers, and a few discarded magical artifacts that had long since lost their magical energy...

　Upon receiving the order, "Greedy Slime 1" immediately widened its eyes and peered inside.

　However, "treasure sense" is actually a very generalized ultimate move with a very narrow target range.

　Within a very small scope, it cannot make precise confirmations.

　Unless you separate each item in the box.

　"There's no need for that much trouble."

　Darke had a sudden thought and pulled out "Greed 3" from his card pack.

　"Grrrrrr!"

　Bathed in deep blue light, "Greedy Slime 1" suddenly expanded, transforming into a large slime with a diameter of over 1.5 meters!

　In an instant, Dark was embraced by "Greedy Slime 2," as if he had entered a botanical garden filled with the fragrance of plants. All the filth on his body was washed away, and he felt refreshed as if he had been reborn.

　"Wave--"

　Professor Lily suddenly plunged into the transparent slime's body and swam towards Dark.

　Dak stepped out and saw her doing a doggy paddle inside.

　"Greedy Slime 2, unleashing its ultimate attack—'Greed Obsession'!"

　"Gululu——"

　"Greedy Slime 2" squeezed out two tentacles from its body and grabbed at the miscellaneous items in the cardboard box.

　Then, it picked out that dry branch from the half-full box of miscellaneous items!

　……

　Two minutes later.

　Dak placed the branch on the lab table, pondering whether to slice it for further study.

　Feeling refreshed, Lily peered around him, asking curiously, "Can this broken tree branch really lead us to magical creatures?"

　Dak replied blankly, "I don't know."

　It wasn't that he wanted to say anything discouraging, but the tree branch in front of him had absolutely no magical fluctuations and didn't even have a single twig; it looked like an extremely ordinary, withered branch.

　Lily said, "Perhaps, as we said before, it's an item that only reacts at the right time and in the right place? Or perhaps it's just one part of a treasure, requiring multiple treasures to be assembled together to produce a change?"

　"You need to collect all seven tree branches to summon the Wood Dragon, right?"

　Dark rolled his eyes, but secretly he wanted to try something similar.

　Of course, he didn't do it.

　After pondering for a while, Dark suddenly picked up a branch, stood up, and said, "Let's go and take a look at the secret passage."

　……

　If there's any place in St. Marian's College where magical creatures can be found out of thin air, it's the secret passages.

　He took the blue "access card" out of his card holder and waved it at Professor Lily.

　Although Lily didn't need a "access card" to enter the secret passage, she still said happily, "I know that. The blue access card allows one more person to enter the secret passage, and the number of times you can enter and exit is twice a month."

　Dark nodded and said, "So our chances are slim. If possible, we should go today."

　Then he pointed among the magical spirits, first picking up the trash slime that had reverted to its slime form and hoisting it onto his shoulder, then beckoning to Devimon before pushing open the door and leaving.

　Little Devimon immediately winked at the magical spirits and then quickly followed.

　“A Fantastic Beasts Society can’t just do research on paper.”
