With flames rising into the sky, the entire castle of the Kirishiki family was burned to ashes, and Shizuku drove away from Gaiba Village with Kaname no Kirie - this place had nothing to do with them anymore.
"I say, do you really get paid for doing this?"
Kaname Kirie stared at Shizuku beside her in confusion, and the latter shrugged her shoulders.
"certainly."
"But it was that kid who commissioned you, right? And he and his sister have forgotten all about it now? You came all the way here, only to work for nothing?"
"Of course this wasn't in vain. I got what I wanted."
Shizuku was not talking nonsense. As she said, the souls that Frostmourne needed were already in hand. Money was secondary to her. And for Frostmourne, this world also made her quite satisfied. Frostmourne longed for souls, especially souls that were suffering from pain and torture.
However, this kind of soul is hard to find in other worlds, but in this world, there are a lot of them, which makes Frostmourne simply reluctant to leave. Like this time, these painful souls are enough for Frostmourne to enjoy for a while.
"I never intended to make money from exorcism. You can imagine how dangerous and unstable this industry is. How can I make money? This is just a hobby for me, just like painting. Although generally speaking, making money while enjoying a hobby is the most perfect life, unfortunately, it is difficult to be so in reality."
Shizuku's financial income comes entirely from the company's dividends. If it's not enough, she can go to the FBI for more, so she doesn't care about money at all. It is also because of this that Shizuku doesn't worry about her livelihood and can go wherever she wants leisurely.
“So a life with financial freedom is a life of freedom, and this is also a way to enjoy life.”
Having said that, Shizuku stepped on the accelerator, and the red sports car accelerated again with the rumbling sound of the engine.
“So it’s not… Aaaaaaaah, stop the car!!!”
Shizuku gripped the steering wheel tightly as she listened to the melodious wail of the Kaname no Mist Branch.
"The excitement is just beginning."
“No!!! Let me down ahh ...
Everything that happened in Waiba Village ended quietly. Even in the TV news, it was just a report that a fire broke out in a remote village and everyone should pay attention. Then, the office spent another dull day. Because it was too idle, Shizuku also put forward her own opinions.
"Let's go to the beach."
"seaside?"
"Yes, going on vacation to the beach, I think this is a good idea."
Upon hearing Shizuku's suggestion, Kaname Kirie immediately frowned.
"Do you want me to show my body to those rough men?"
“A private beach, of course.”
Shizuku naturally didn't want to do that. Although her body wasn't very feminine, at least this clone was a woman. Wearing a swimsuit for a man? She wouldn't even think of doing that.
"Then I can accept it."
After hearing this, Kagami no Kirie finally felt relieved, but Hinasaki Shinkuen widened her eyes in surprise.
"Hey? Shizuku-nee-san still has a private beach?"
"I have a private jet too. Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem."
Just give it to the FBI for reimbursement. The US dollar was still very valuable in the 1980s.
"Can we invite Mayu and Mio as well? And Miss Rei?"
After the Minamigami Village incident, the Amakura sisters often came to the office to play, and they became quite familiar with Shizuku and others. After all, everyone lived in Tokyo, so they couldn't be that far away. As for Kurosawa Rei, she still kept in touch with everyone during the dream incident. The main reason was that her fiancé Aso Yuu and Hinasaki Shinku's brother Hinasaki Mafuyu were good friends, and the two of them were in the same boat (although Aso Yuu didn't find a female ghost to create a Shura field like Hinasaki Mafuyu did), so Kurosawa Rei also took care of Hinasaki Shinku like a sister, and the relationship between the two was also good.
"Of course."
For Shizuku, the more cute girls the better, and going to the beach with cute girls is even better.
"I have a private beach and a villa. I just need to live there. There is also a yacht parked at the nearby pier. I can go out to sea anytime I want. There is no problem at all!"
I don’t feel bad spending money that is not my own.
Since Shizuku had already nodded in agreement, Hinasaki Shinkuen did not hesitate any longer and quickly called the others. Fortunately, the Amakura sisters were on vacation, and Kurosawa Rei certainly had free time as a freelance photographer, so everyone finally agreed to go on vacation together.
So for Shizuku...
“It’s heaven.”
Lying on a lounge chair on the beach, Shizuku lazily looked at the girls playing and frolicking in the rippling blue water in front of her, and couldn't help but mutter to herself.
In front of her, Hinasaki Shinku, wearing a white bikini, was playing beach volleyball with the Amagura sisters and Kurosawa Rei. The girls raised their hands with giggles and hit balloons. The balls bounced up and down with their movements, which even made Shizuku feel a little dazzling.
"You are really disgusting."
To others, Shizuku might have simply been admiring the girls' playful figures, but it was different for Kagami no Kirie, who suffered greatly from it.
"Isn't having me enough? Are you going to do anything to these girls?"
"Of course the more cute girls there are, the better. Or are you jealous?"
"Varied……"
Hearing Shizuku's smiling question, Kagami Kirie's face suddenly turned red.
"Who is jealous? Stop kidding! I just feel sorry for those girls who were deceived by you!"
"deceive?"
"You are not human, do those girls know this?"
Kagami no Kirei pouted in dissatisfaction and pointed at Shizuku and spoke. When Shizuku released the dragon's might, Kagami no Kirei was sure that she was definitely not a human. Although she didn't know what kind of existence this girl in front of her was, she was sure that this girl in front of her was just a monster in human skin.
"What does it matter? Aren't you a vampire too?"
In response to Kagami no Kirie's rebuttal, Shizuku picked up the juice next to her and started slurping it.
"Besides, they are not ordinary little girls. They have seen the world. I believe this is just a small matter and they will not be scared... but you..."
As she spoke, Shizuku looked at Kagami no Mist, who suddenly froze.
"You, what do you want?"
"You seem a little bit disobedient recently..."
"Hmm, so...?"
Although Kagami no Kirie turned her head away with a disdainful expression, her eyes would still glance over here from time to time, as if she was expecting something. And Shizuku narrowed her eyes and smiled slightly.
"Really? I'm so sorry. I think I was too rough with you recently. I'm sorry. I won't do that to you again."
"Hey? Hey hey!?"
Hearing this, Kagami no Kirie screamed immediately. She looked at Shizuku in amazement, with an expression like a puppy abandoned by its owner.
"Why? Isn't it?"
"No, that's not right, it's just..."
Halfway through his words, Kagami Mist Branch seemed to have just reacted, and he snorted coldly and turned away.
"That's right. I've had enough of your perverted and dirty tricks! I would be more than happy if you would stop approaching me in the future."
After saying this, Kaname no Kirie turned and walked towards the villa, while Shizuku looked at her disappearing figure with a smile, then looked away.
At the same time, Hinasaki's deep crimson laughter could be heard from the front.
"Shizuku-sister, come play with us."
"Okay, I'll be there now."
Putting down the cup, Shizuku stood up and walked towards the young girls in front of her.
This is the right way to enjoy summer.
After enjoying the beautiful scenery of the seaside in the villa, Shizuku took everyone to the pier the next day to go out to sea. Of course, the yacht docked at the pier was also specially provided by the FBI... Well, anyway, as long as I pay for it, it's mine, no problem.
“What a beautiful yacht.”
"I've never been on a yacht this big before."
Looking at the yacht in front of them, the Amakura sisters and Kurosawa Rei couldn't help but sigh. Only Kagami no Kirie stood by with a somewhat uneasy look in her eyes. She secretly glanced at Shizuku from time to time, but when Shizuku turned her head around, she snorted coldly and turned away, pretending to be disdainful.
"What happened to Miss Wuzhi?"
Hinasaki Shinku, who was standing next to them, naturally noticed this scene and came up quietly to ask, but Shizuku shook her head.
"Don't mind her. Every girl has those days."
"ah……"
Hearing this, Hinasaki Shinku suddenly realized... and then was stunned for a moment.
Do vampires also have those days?
Just at this moment, there was a small noise on the dock.
“Please, please!”
Hearing this voice, everyone turned around and saw three girls standing by the dock, desperately begging the boatman for something, but the boatman just waved his hand and walked away. The three girls quickly turned around and looked for another boatman again - after hearing what they said, the boatman's face suddenly changed and he waved his hand and walked away.
"Did something happen over there?"
Seeing the three girls looking dejected, everyone became curious. Perhaps because they were of similar age, they couldn't bear to see the three girls hit a wall like this. Shizuku nodded and spoke to Hinasaki Shinku.
"Go and see what happened to them?"
"OK."
As Shizuku's assistant, Hinasaki Shinkuen was very familiar with this aspect. She immediately walked over and started chatting with the three girls.
After a while, Hinasaki Shinku turned back.
"Sister Shizuku, I've figured it out. The three of them were planning to take a boat to a nearby island, but no one was willing to take them there."
"Oh? Why? Is it because we can't agree on the price?"
"That's not the case."
Hinasaki Crimson shook her head.
"I heard that something terrible happened on that island, so the fishermen nearby won't go near there."
"I see. What's the name of the island?"
"I heard from them that it's called...Oborozuki Island."
