The Melaleuca Routine of Dominating the Devil

"So you left without saying anything?"

"Yes."

"No agreement, no nod, no action that might make the other party acquiesce?"

"Yes."

"Is it because you are worried about the inspection team? I heard that there are many people from the search department nearby..."

"It's not just for this reason. The most important thing for me is that the other party is still a student."

With a snap, the lighter went on and off.The pink-haired woman lowered her eyes and put her hands behind her back. The person across the table was puffing in the dim light, and the lingering smoke blurred her expression. "In this country, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, having close contact with minors is not worth advocating from a secular concept. As a member of the public security police, it should be an example, right?"

"...I didn't expect you to be so disciplined."

"If there is nothing else, I will leave first. There will be other work afterwards."

Bowing slightly, she turned her head and walked out of the oppressive office.The moment the door was closed, someone's ears caught a slight sigh.Her heart moved, and she held her breath and stood there.

Whispers in the office. "Have you not realized who you are?"

"Observe for a while..."

"Notify the shore first, so that he doesn't have to worry about coming back..."

What if you walk in now and give orders to those who smoke?Such thoughts only flashed for a moment, the pink-haired woman smoothed the wrinkles on her clothes, turned around and walked back to class four.

……

Public Security's Demon Hunter has no secrets.

Secrets will be uncovered by the inspectors, and even trivial gossip will not survive for a day.This is definitely a major flaw in working within the system, and Maqima is even more aware of this after getting in touch with the high-level officials of the Ministry of Public Security.

Dating a high school student, conjurer, underage...every hot word will be followed by Machima's name.She became a celebrity in just a few days.

And because of being talked about too much, leading to an interview with inspectors, it is probably one of the first experiences players have had since entering the game world.Whether it was being invited to a small dark room or becoming a talking point among demon hunters, Maqima had no dissatisfaction.The effects of the fermentation of the incident became more and more bizarre. She had long since had no time to care about getting angry, and some only had a feeling of novelty.

"What if it accidentally hit the headlines and became a trending topic on Twitter?"

"Like?"

Dongshan Xiaohong, who had been listening silently, suddenly spoke. "If it's on TV, will there be interviews on variety shows like O'Day?"

"Then the title 'Devil Hunter X Japan DK! Forbidden Chaos Young Love' was displayed on the screen? Hahaha..."

Makima stopped stirring the udon chopsticks and imagined a scene where Internet topics were flying everywhere. "...It doesn't matter. In less than three days, everyone turned to pay attention to the news of snow in Hokkaido." Human beings like the new and dislike the old in tracking hot spots, and players have no interest in pursuing topics in the game world. "And no one will see this kind of stuff."

"Wow, as expected of Maqima!" Himeno applauded exaggeratedly. "Being able to remain calm at such a juncture must be a mature, intellectual, and irresistible older sister type in the eyes of those two high school students!"

"...Senior Himeno, is this your third cup?"

"It's a pity to be transferred to Sendai that day~ If I had known that such an interesting thing would happen in Tokyo, I should have gone to Shirorin anyway." Himeno lowered his voice. "Also, I heard that there is another high school younger brother who is obsessed with 'Ms. Makima'~ Is his name Kuro, Kuroko...?"

Machima chose to take the wine glass from Himeno's hand directly. "From now on, Senior Himeno is forbidden to drink alcohol."

"Hey! At least use honorifics for senpai—!"

Demon hunters rarely have spare time.In most cases, they were sent out on missions or patrolled in cooperation with civilian hunters throughout Japan.This day was a rare meeting for colleagues from Class [-], so they decided to have lunch at the family restaurant.At the beginning, everyone was still talking about work in a serious manner, talking about the strange demons that appeared all over Japan.But then Arai and the others became addicted to cigarettes, so they simply went outside to smoke in the alley.The few women left chatted and talked about the news that Mazima had lost the bet.

It gave Mazima the feeling that the second boot had finally landed.Where there is Ji Ye, intelligence is indispensable, and gossip is indispensable at the same time.

"So, you really rejected that high school student surnamed Wutiao as they said above?"

"I told him to think about it, so I let him go back." Mazima filled the wine glass in front of her. "Those old men are too lenient. I don't know why they should take care of this."

"After all, the other party is a conjurer who is completely out of the control of the higher-ups, and it is one of the Gojo family, one of the three royal families." Himeno tried to take back the wine glass but failed, and depressedly poked the fried dumpling with his chopsticks. "And the origin of Maqima is also very sensitive, right? The people above don't want to see Maqima have too much contact with the outside world."

"...Senior Himeno, does he know my origins?"

"Hehe, are you interested?" The woman wearing a blindfold smiled slyly and pointed. "Here comes the wine!"

The full beer mug was pushed over without hesitation.She raised her head and took a big gulp, then "slapped" it back on the table contentedly. "Actually... hiccup, I don't know very well~"

"..."

"Oh, don't put on such a scary expression. It's not me who brought Maqima into the Public Security Department, but Master Kishi!" Ji Ye wiped the beer foam from his mouth and waved his hands. "And the master is mysterious, he has always been a person who doesn't reveal anything. After all, he is a super hunter among the demon hunters, a living sign, top-notch!"

Tip: [Shore] character introduction has been updated.

"We are not feminine enough at ordinary times, working hard as demon hunters. But in addition to revolving around demons, we still want to have some ordinary people's daily life, such as drinking and dating."

Ji Ye looked at the door of the store, the men who had gone out to smoke hadn't come back yet, so she picked up a piece of fried tofu for herself depressed. "But my master is obviously the strongest demon hunter, and he still treats 24 hours a day as his working time. He probably doesn't have any fun in his life, except demons are demons."

"Aside from Himeno, does Captain Kishi have any other apprentices?"

"It's Qiu Jun. It was Master Kishi who discovered him among the people at that time, and then introduced him to the special class on monsters. It's just that Qiu Jun never mentioned it." Ji Ye sighed. "I don't know what the master is doing in China recently, there is no news at all..."

Reminder: Your side mission - to obtain information about the mysterious character [Shore] has been completed.

Thank you, Himeno-senpai.You are really my best friend.

Taking advantage of Arai Hayakawa and Akira's return, Machima made an excuse to go to the bathroom, and finally had the opportunity to check Kishi's character introduction.Even though Hime Ye himself didn't know her master well, what he could analyze was enough.

It is not surprising that the shore is not in Japan.After all, she released the witch sparrow a long time ago, and now the birds over Japan have searched the whole country, but there is no sign of him; more importantly, the bank must know the true identity of Machima.In the eyes of the people above, Anbian is the reliable backing of the Public Security Headquarters, and there is no way to deal with her.

Since entering the Ministry of Public Security, the player has tried to find the past belonging to [Makima]. However, after looking through the materials in the archives department, the archives of Machima are not among them.In Japan, a country where digitalization has not been successfully promoted, and paper materials and personal seals are still used as archives, the only possibility of "non-existent personal archives" is that they are taken away in advance, intentionally or unintentionally, someone does not want Ma Chima learns her identity.

Can a person have no "past"?

impossible.A person's growth must be like a spider's web, tiny but closely connected with countless others.Being blocked in this way from finding out the truth, Maqima became more curious about her identity.There must be a mark of her past in this world, and the only person who knows it now is probably the shore.A mysterious and powerful demon hunter who is like 007JamesBond in other people's population.

Such a person hiding in the mist really made her feel uneasy if she didn't figure it out.

The phone suddenly buzzed and vibrated, showing an unfamiliar text message.Machima glanced at the screen and couldn't help frowning.

"Tomorrow morning at 10:30, Ikebukuro Station."

... Now there is one more guy who makes people feel uncomfortable.

Straightforward news, the phone number is not the first time I met, there is no second choice but that person.Mazima simply dialed the number, and the phone was picked up after one ring. "I thought I made it clear enough to you guys before, Gojo-kun."

"But Miss Macchima just said 'this is not a good proposal' at that time, it doesn't mean to refuse."

"Don't Gojo-kun understand the art of euphemism? Your friend must have said it."

"So what? You're the one who makes the decision, and I'm the one who will date you."

"..."

"Miss Machima is really cunning~" The young man's voice was lazy and relaxed, as if he was lying somewhere in the sun. "It's not difficult for you, but you insist on saying such plausible things. Is it so happy for you to disturb high school students?"

Machima pursed her lips silently.She was amused by the plausible grievance in the boy's tone.She stretched her eyebrows and changed to a more comfortable position leaning against the wall.

"So did I bother you, Gojo-kun?"

"En~all~no~yes!" Gojo Satoru smiled slightly on the other end of the phone. "Because I know you'll agree to this date, Miss Marchma."

"It's weird, she looks like a mature and polite onee-sama, but her eyes are completely different."

"What's the difference?"

"Hmm... I can't really tell. It's just like 'I have to do something', very childish."

"If you don't want me to kill the date plan now, you'd better pay attention to your words, Gojo-kun."

"Wow, that's scary! I'm sorry, but he's handsome. Forgive me, sister (ねえちゃん)~"

……

When Maqima hung up the phone, the screen showed that the call lasted nearly 10 minutes.She thought about it, and simply sent a LINE to Dongshan Xiaohong saying that she had returned to the headquarters, and she found an excuse to resign directly.Along the way, Mazima was thinking about conjurers and demon hunters, turning character cards of known characters in her mind, and finally stopped at the person who surprised her time and time again.

Wujo Wu.A guy who can't be fooled at all.

Is it the reason for having "six eyes"?Or is it that he has the ability to see through appearances?With such a person who sees through her with a single glance, should she feel reassured, or should she feel terrified?

After making that weird request to "date me", people who are used to Gojo Satoru's five-year-old behavior will regard this as another of his weirdness; those who are familiar with Maqima will default to her mature and polite choice to refuse.In fact, Makima did the same, in the usual Japanese vague and euphemistic way of refusing.

But only Gojo Satoru could see that Maqima had no intention of refusing at all.

Even after hearing the proposal, she subconsciously considered where would be a good date.

"Ikebukuro? I don't know what's interesting there."

"Let's save the surprise until tomorrow!" Gojo Satoru said with a smile. "Jie is going back to his hometown tomorrow. If possible, he can take you to the high school."

"Oh really? It's a pity that this is not a three-person date, Wutiao-kun." Maqima calmly took him into the army. "After all, I lost to you [two people] at the time. It's a pity that I didn't have time to ask Mr. Xia You what request he had."

"..."

No matter how powerful they are, they are just game characters.Machima thought that she still knew too little about conjurers, as long as she could get information from Gojo Satoru, he wouldn't notice anything.

As for the Gun Demon of the main quest, and the Hell Demon that just appeared...

Machima took out the contents of her pocket.Just relying on the magician's blindfold, she didn't even need to use the ability, and the cassette with the theory of death was successfully dropped by her.And what was kept strictly by the Public Security Headquarters was just a blank cassette.

She remembered the side mission prompt that popped up before. There is actually a mysterious map [Hell] in the game. In the future, she can try to unlock the way to enter [Hell]...

"This game is really getting more and more interesting."
