There won't be a next time!
Hongzi, in a frenzy, waved her staff, yelling, "I'll fight you to the death!"
Her words came to an abrupt end.
Yu Sheng Nan had teleported in front of her without her noticing. He gently lifted her chin with his folding fan, and the golden runes on the boy's hunting robe flowed, gleaming with a mysterious halo under the moonlight.
"Have you had enough fun?" His voice suddenly deepened, carrying an undeniable authority. "Now, let's get down to business."
As he spoke, all the monsters simultaneously knelt on one knee.
The entire forest fell into a deathly silence; even the wind stopped blowing.
Koizumi Akako instinctively stepped back, but her back bumped against the armrest of the throne, which had appeared out of nowhere. She then realized that she was trapped between the other person and the throne, so close that she could count the other person's eyelashes.
"What...what are you going to do?"
The witch's voice weakened uncontrollably.
We can't beat them, we really can't beat them.
If witches weren't forbidden from crying, Koizumi Akako would already be hiding in her basement, shed tears of grievance. It really hurts!
Yu Sheng Nan smiled slightly and pulled out a scroll emitting a soft white light from his sleeve: "The Shrine Maiden's Legacy, lend me a copy. My shrine maiden is still waiting."
"Why should I!"
Hongzi instinctively protected the necklace on her chest.
Taking her things to seduce other women? Dream on!
"Just because..." Yuu Nan suddenly leaned down and whispered in her ear, "I can restore the former glory of the Crimson Magic."
Hongzi's eyes widened suddenly.
"Didn't your magic mirror tell you that?" Yu Sheng Nan's fingertips traced the ruby around her neck. "I can grant those around me the same aptitude for magic. I can let those who are interested learn red magic from you..."
The magic mirror, repaired yet again, floated out of the castle at just the right moment, its surface flashing wildly: "Lord Akako! Lord Hanyu Nan was right! According to the test, the purity of Lord Hanyu Nan's magic power is ten times that of yours! No, a hundred times!"
Koizumi Akako was torn between her inner thoughts and her own.
Reason told her she should refuse, but her magician instincts were tempted by the promise of "restoring glory."
In this era of diminishing magic, red magic has gradually declined. If she could truly revitalize red magic with the help of Hanyu Nan's power, it would undoubtedly be a huge temptation for her.
"This is a family heirloom, guarded for generations..."
The witch revealed a resolute look in her eyes.
Yuzuru understood in a second.
You have to pay more!
"Ahem, Miss Hongzi, I suppose your family's magic arrays, having survived to this age of low-level magic, can't gather much spiritual energy anymore? I can generously sponsor a batch of purified spring water, full of spiritual energy and with its own purifying effect~"
"......"
"Only the parts related to the shrine maiden can be copied."
Koizumi Akako gritted her teeth and compromised.
"Deal." Yu Shengnan readily released her, then magically produced a USB drive and inserted it into the ruby necklace. The gemstone immediately lit up with a blue light that seemed to flow with data, leaving Hongzi dumbfounded.
"You call this copying?!"
“Modern magic needs to keep up with the times, right?” Yuzuru winked. “By the way, as a reward…”
He suddenly grabbed Hongzi's waist with a clean and swift movement, leaving Hongzi no time to resist.
To the girl's astonishment, he leaned down and kissed her. The kiss was domineering and lingering, as if it wanted to devour Hongzi's soul.
His lips pressed tightly against Hongzi's red lips, his tongue skillfully prying open her pearly teeth, wantonly exploring every inch of her mouth, until Hongzi's legs went weak and she could hardly stand, almost hanging on him, before he reluctantly let go.
"you!"
Hongzi's face flushed red, and a dangerous red light emanated from the tip of her staff.
"Magic feedback." Yu Sheng Nan licked his lips, still savoring the experience, "It's much better than potions, isn't it?"
"You son of a bitch!"
Koizumi Akako was somewhat vulnerable.
It's infuriating to hear someone say they're taking advantage of another's situation in such a high-sounding way!
She suddenly realized that this guy was even better at pretending than she was. Was this a common trait among magicians?
"Ahem." Yu Shengnan rubbed his nose, trying to hide his smugness. "Let's get down to business. What do you think of my suggestion?"
Koizumi Akako gritted her teeth: "What suggestion?"
“In addition to the exchange of magical inheritance, there is also…” Hanyu Nan paused meaningfully, “and a monthly magical seminar.”
He emphasized the words "seminar".
After all, the two of them had just been vying for dominance.
Now that he has won, it is naturally his turn to launch an offensive.
Just as Koizumi Akako was about to refuse, she suddenly felt her legs buckle—her defense had exhausted all her magic power. The magic mirror caught her in time, whispering, "Lady Akako, a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle..."
Miss Witch glanced at the smiling Yuzuru, then at the menacing Hyakki behind him, and finally bit her lip reluctantly: "...Deal."
"That's a good girl~" Yu Sheng Nan ruffled her red hair with satisfaction, the gesture as intimate as if the two were lovers of many years, then turned and waved to the monsters: "Done, job done!"
At his command, the monsters vanished into black mist, and the night sky returned to normal. Aoandon waved her hand, completely concealing the anomalies in the area, and the satellite images showed only an ordinary forest.
Koizumi Akako watched all this with mixed feelings.
She lost, completely and utterly.
But for some reason, looking at Yuzuru's figure, she felt a strange flutter in her heart...
The young man in front of her was exactly her type.
She is wicked and unrestrained, with a kind of world-destroying madness, yet she is damnably attractive, just like herself. She usually pretends to be an ordinary girl, but deep down she never cares about any rules or constraints.
They are the same kind of people, yet they stand on opposite sides.
Well, it's simply that the witch can't let go of her pride as a witch and is unwilling to admit that she has become someone else's prisoner.
But it's not a big problem.
What to do when your child is disobedient?
If only we had more loving "education" like that.
"It's a pleasure to work with you~" Yuzuru gave an elegant bow, his figure gradually fading away. "I will come to see Miss Witch for a 'discussion' on the night of the full moon next month."
As the last syllable faded, Yuzuru and the army of a hundred demons vanished like bubbles in the night wind.
Koizumi Akako's legs buckled, and she collapsed to the ground.
The magic mirror cautiously floated over: "Lord Akako... your face is so red..."
"Shut up!"
"Um...do you need me to make an appointment with the dentist for you? You just bit his tongue..."
Hongzi slammed the mirror to the ground, buried her burning face in her knees, and after a long while, a scream of shame and indignation echoed through the castle:
"Hanyu Kusunoki—!!!"
The night breeze swept through the forest, carrying away the lingering charm of this grand spectacle.
