Shizuku and the others drank coffee and ate cake in the coffee shop and left, but the blonde girl worked tremblingly until the shop closed at night. She took the time when the terrifying evil spirit disappeared and walked out of the coffee shop from the back door in three or two steps. She looked around cautiously and planned to leave like a thief.

She carefully looked around, and after making sure there were no suspicious figures nearby, she slowly walked towards the exit. She looked just like a thief.

However, at this moment...

"Where are you going?"

At this moment, the Bonfire Mist Branch suddenly appeared from the street corner, blocking the blonde girl's way. Seeing the silver-haired vampire in front of her, the blonde girl with twin ponytails turned pale and stepped back. However, the next moment she felt as if she had bumped into something, and turned her head tremblingly, only to see Jing Shuijiu appear behind her at some point, staring at her expressionlessly.

"Alas--!!"

Seeing Jing Shuijiu's appearance, the blonde girl trembled all over and hurriedly changed direction again. She was now like a poor girl trapped in an alley by two gang members. She watched the two gang members grinning as they walked towards her. Then, the two gang members seemed to have received some orders, lowered their heads and retreated to the sides. Then, a burly and terrifying gangster boss swaggered out from the middle...

"Hello, young lady."

Surrounded by Kagari no Kirie and Shizuku, the local gangster boss, the first head of the Tojo Clan, the Dragon of Kanto, Kasugano Shizuku, walked over slowly with a smile on his face, looking at the blonde girl in front of him. Under Shizuku's gaze, the blonde girl was sweating profusely, trembling constantly, her face was pale, and her eyes were wandering, just like a little white rabbit being stared at by a tiger, with no way to escape and only the way to wait for death.

"How about we talk for a moment?"

“…”

Looking at Kasugano Shizuku in front of her, the blonde girl's face turned pale, she clenched her teeth and trembled. Then she clenched her hands, put them at her sides, curled up her body and pounced forward facing Shizuku, the whole person jumped down like a tiger descending from a mountain, and then directly knelt in front of Shizuku.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it. Please spare my life, ahhhhhhh!!"

At this moment, the blonde girl crossed her hands in front of her with her head directly on the ground... Yes, this is the legendary secret "Tiger Landing Style"!

"Well……"

Seeing the blonde girl kneeling down and begging for mercy, Shizuku twitched her eyes and then restrained her expression. Of course, she didn't want to do anything to the blonde girl. Shizuku could sense that the blonde girl's demonic aura was not very strong, and there was no bloody smell on her body. She should not be the kind of vicious murderous ghost. But she was still a little speechless when she saw how scared she was.

"Okay, stand up and talk. I'm not going to do anything to you."

“Ah… yes…”

The blonde girl stood up tremblingly and looked at Shizuku anxiously, while Shizuku shook her head and sighed.

"Anyway, tell me your name and identity first."

"Yes, my name is Lizlite L. Charles... I am the fairy of the black tea cup... I came to Japan a hundred years ago and have been kept by this coffee shop..."

"I see. So when this coffee shop moved here, you came along as well?"

"……Yes."

Lizlit nodded tremblingly, and looked at Shizuku carefully. She knew how terrifying the girl in front of her was. The aura on her was stronger than the most powerful monster she had ever seen. Not to mention that she had vampires and dragons as her subordinates... That was even more terrifying.

"What is your purpose here?"

"I, I'm just an ordinary black tea fairy. I just want everyone to enjoy the black tea. I don't intend to cause any trouble..."

What a pity, she is not a coffee fairy. No wonder Shizuku thinks that the coffee she brews is not as good as Chino's. Although black tea is drinkable, Shizuku still prefers coffee a little more.

"That's it, then."

Shizuku nodded and made a gesture, and then Kaname no Kirie and Shizumi Hisahisa left quietly, which made Lizlit instinctively breathe a sigh of relief.

"You can stay here, but don't let us find out you're up to something, or you know what will happen."

“……!!!”

In response to Shizuku's words, Lizlit nodded desperately, showing no sign of resistance.

"Also, I think you also know that Miss Kurosawa Aise is ours. She is not used to life in the outside world, so we need you to help take care of her. If you encounter any trouble, you can come directly to us. Do you understand?"

"I, I understand."

"That's good, it's okay, you can go."

Shizuku nodded, while Lizlitt was stunned for a moment, then turned and left hesitantly. She walked to the entrance of the alley, turned around uneasily and looked at Shizuku, fearing that the latter would dance the yangge while asking someone next to her to hand her a shotgun and shoot her in the back when her back was turned to her... Well, fortunately this did not happen.

Then Lizlit bowed to Shizuku again, turned around and ran away.

"I always feel like it's going to be troublesome...you have to be careful."

At this moment, Kaname no Mist appeared from the darkness again and whispered in Shizuku's ear.

"trouble?"

"Yeah, monsters are bullies and only fear the strong. If you show that you are protecting monsters, then there will be many monsters who will come to you and it will be troublesome."

“Oh…I see.”

After hearing the reminder from Kagami no Kirie, Shizuku's mind turned, and then she immediately understood what she meant. This is just like the wild monsters in "Journey to the West" who occupied the mountains and became kings. There would always be a group of small monsters who came to curry favor with them. Over time, this place became a demon cave nest like the White Bone Cave and the Water Curtain Cave...

"Let's see the situation first. If she has never killed anyone or committed a crime, it's not impossible to take her in, even if she's a beautiful and lovely fairy like Lizlit."

"What if it's a boy?"

"Just drive them away."

Shizuku answered without hesitation and with finality.

"What if the other party doesn't want to leave?"

"Then send him to hell."

Shizuku answered quickly.

This is not a charity, so all kinds of monsters want to come and take advantage of it. She certainly understood what Kagami no Mist Branch wanted to say. Monsters are very cunning and will stay away from them if they sense a threat. But on the other hand, the information between monsters is very well-informed. If she let Lizlit go today, in a few days, the monsters around might know about it, and some of them might want to take advantage of her.

So we must first establish the rules.

Of course, if Shizuku herself were to say it, she actually didn't want to deal with too many monsters, but as the saying goes, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. Just look at Jing Shui Jiu and you will know that she came to the door on her own. Only the Kagami no Mist Branch is the worst, as it was forcibly taken by herself...

I hope there won’t be any more monsters coming to visit me in the future.

In the following days, Shizuku had a relatively peaceful time. There was no exorcism work to do, and no special troubles. It was so peaceful that it was even a little boring. Even Fang Zheng, who was controlling Shizuku, felt like he had nothing to do after completing his daily tasks during the long period of mobile game development. If everything in Trails World was not going well, he might have considered doing something else.

However, just when Shizuku was considering whether to hang up for a while, an invitation letter came in front of her.

Well, this is not an invitation from KOF, but from...Phantom Sea.

"Master Huanhai wants to talk to me?"

Looking at the peony in front of her, Shizuku frowned.

"Master Huanhai and I are not familiar with each other, why does she want to see me? Did you say something nonsense?"

"Ahahahaha...that's not the case. Of course I won't say anything about you."

Hearing Shizuku's question, Mudan seemed a little embarrassed. She hesitated for a moment, then spoke to Shizuku in a low voice.

"Actually... it was Yusuke. When he was training, he always told Master Genkai that he wanted to surpass you. So Master Genkai became interested in you, and that's why he wanted to meet you."

“…”

It's that single-celled organism again, right? Very good, I'll keep this grudge in mind and settle it together someday. Although the protagonists of hot-blooded boy comics are all like this, if it gets to me, it's not something I can just laugh off. If I don't find a chance to teach him a lesson, that kid won't know why the flowers are so red.

Hearing Botan's answer, Shizuku rolled her eyes speechlessly. To be honest, she herself was not willing to be associated with the protagonists of those hot-blooded boys' comics. Of course, the other party was kind-hearted, but that kind of personality... How should I put it? As a reader, you can enjoy it when reading comics, but in reality, Shizuku still stays away from such people.

"All right."

Shizuku still had a lot of respect for the old man, Genkai. After thinking it over, she felt that there was nothing to lose by meeting him, so she nodded and agreed.

"I'll go meet her."
