"Ah, Izumi, Yukari!"

Looking at the two girls in front of her, Shizuku couldn't help but smile in surprise and quickly opened her arms to greet them.

"Welcome, welcome. Come on, come in and chat... Why didn't you call me before you came?"

The two girls were none other than Akasawa Izumi and Sakuragi Yukari. When Shizuku went to Yami Kita Junior High School to investigate the "Final Destination" murder case, she had a very good relationship with the two girls. She even saved Sakuragi Yukari's life. At that time, the two girls were already in the third year of junior high school and were in the promotion period. When Shizuku left Yami Kita Junior High School after solving the case, she invited the two girls to live in her office if they decided to come to Tokyo to study in high school.

After all, her house is big, and the bed is big too...it's no problem to sleep with several girls!

And now, they actually came, which made Shizuku very happy.

The more pretty and cute girls there are, the better.

"But then again, it really surprises me. I thought you were just talking at the time."

After inviting the two into the reception room of the office, Shizuku couldn't help but sigh as she looked at Akasawa Izumi. She was not surprised that Sakuragi Yukari came to Tokyo. After all, Yukari's mother had died in a car accident because of the "curse", and she was now alone. Moreover, for Sakuragi Yukari, the current Yamikita was a place full of painful and horrible memories, so it was not surprising that she would leave Yamikita and come to Tokyo.

But Akasawa Izumi surprised Shizuku. Although she had said that she wanted to apply to a high school in Tokyo, Shizuku thought that Akasawa Izumi was just talking. After all, Akasawa Izumi was not like Sakuragi Yukari, whose parents had both passed away and she was left alone. It was too risky for her to leave the town where she grew up and come to Tokyo alone.

"Hehe, how can I leave Yukari alone?"

Hearing what Shizuku said, Akasawa Izumi hugged Sakuragi Yukari beside her and smiled at Shizuku.

"After all, I'm also Yukari's good friend. Wouldn't it be worrying if she came to Tokyo alone? It just so happens that I'm also planning to apply to a university in Tokyo in the future, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to come here early."

"That's surprising. Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Facing Akazawa Izumi's answer, Shizuku curled her lips. It was undeniable that Yukari Sakuragi was indeed very comfortable to hold. She was petite and cute, soft and fragrant. Sleeping together was even more comfortable than a large pillow. But she also had principles and bottom lines. If the other party didn't want to, Shizuku would never force herself on him.

Of course, if the other party does not refuse, that’s another matter.

And this only applies to companions. If it is an enemy, Shizuku doesn't care whether she objects or not.

For example, the Firewood Branch is a good example.

"No, it's not."

At this moment, Sakuragi Yukari's face was also flushed, and she waved her hands hurriedly.

"Actually, Izumi is also looking forward to meeting Shizuku-san. She said before that she wanted to give you a surprise, but on the way here, she was hesitating whether to call or not..."

"Wait, there's no such thing!"

"But at that time, clearly..."

"You're seeing things!"

Izumi Akasawa turned her head with red cheeks and looked out the window, and seeing this scene, Shizuku smiled slightly. It must be said that the arrival of these two girls really added a bit of youthful vitality to the office.

After all, most people in the office are quite old. Even though Shiragiku and Kurosawa Aise still maintain their previous appearance, their spirits have experienced a hundred years on Mt. Hikari. Not to mention Kaname Kirie and Shizumi Hisa, they have lived for three to five hundred years.

It is also because of this that the office is more or less "depressed". Now the arrival of Akasawa Izumi and Sakuragi Yukari can bring some vitality, which is not bad.

“Boom boom boom.”

Just at this moment, someone knocked on the door of the reception room, and then Shenhong walked in with the phone.

"Sister Shizuku, it's Miss Helena calling."

"Yes, thank you."

After answering the phone, Shizuku nodded to Crimson, then looked at Akasawa Izumi and Sakuragi Yukari again.

"Then you can take them both to their rooms first, and then we will hold a formal welcome banquet during dinner."

"Okay, please follow me."

After hearing Shizuku's instructions, Hinasaki Shinku nodded, then took Akasawa Izumi and Sakuragi Yukari out of the reception room. Then Shizuku picked up the phone and put it to her ear.

"Hello? Miss Helena? What can I do for you?"

"What's up……"

Hearing Shizuku's question, Helena on the other end of the phone was speechless.

"Didn't you watch the live broadcast? The KOF finals just ended and the champion has been announced."

"Oh, I forgot about this..."

After hearing Helena's reminder, Shizuku scratched her head. After she withdrew from the competition, she stopped paying attention to KOF. Anyway, Helena was watching and she was just a behind-the-scenes person. Besides, she participated in KOF mainly at the request of Huanhai. Now that Huanhai's commission was completed, she was not interested in paying attention to KOF. After all, no matter who the contestants were, they could be overthrown by her with just one finger. So in Shizuku's opinion, unless there was a gambling game, there was no need for her to pay attention to the KOF competition.

It would be better to hang out with beautiful girls.

So Shizuku, who was immersed in chatting with the beautiful girl, didn't notice that the KOF competition was over... Anyway...

"Who is the champion?"

"The Extreme Stream team led by Takuma Sakazaki."

"Oh, that's surprising."

Shizuku was somewhat surprised to hear Helena's report. She had thought that at least Yagami or Kyo Kusanagi would win the championship, but she didn't expect it to be Takuma Sakazaki... After all, KOF is not a popularity voting competition, right?

If it is a popularity vote, then Yagami Kyo Kusanagi would probably be the eternal champion.

"Okay then, I'll leave it to you from now on. Anything else?"

"Have you forgotten? You said at the beginning that you wanted to fulfill the champion's wish."

"Oh... yes, this is what happened."

After being reminded by Helena, Shizuku recalled that she had indeed offered this extra reward in order to allow the KOF contestants to fight to the death like in the Holy Grail War.

"So what is their wish to achieve? It's not to conquer the world, is it? Hahahaha."

"If it's about conquering the world, that's easy..."

Helena was speechless at Shizuku's joke.

"They hope to revive Sakazaki Takuma's wife..."

“…Who is that?”

Shizuku had no impression of the life stories of the characters in KOF. She only knew about the three sacred weapons, the Eight Heroes, the supernatural beauty Athena Asamiya, and the always vulgarly dressed Mai Shiranui. As for the Kyōgoku-ryu, she was only somewhat familiar with Yuri Sakazaki. Takuma Sakazaki was a middle-aged man, and Shizuku's impression of him was only that when he appeared in fighting games, he always liked to wear a Tengu mask on his face and then kick it to pieces...that was all.

Facing Shizuku's question, Helena also had no choice but to introduce it. According to Helena, this can be traced back to when Sakazaki Takuma was young. At that time, Gis saw Sakazaki Takuma's power and wanted to recruit him to join his forces. As a result, Sakazaki Takuma did not agree, and in order to warn him, Gis planned a car accident, and Sakazaki Takuma's wife died in that car accident.

After that, in order to protect his son and daughter, Takuma Sakazaki had no choice but to become Gis's subordinate, and then a lot of things happened...but that's a story for later.

Although Takuma Sakazaki is now out of Gis's control, he has always been obsessed with his wife's death, so after winning the championship, he discussed it with his family and finally expressed this wish.

"……what to do?"

"Oh, this...wait a minute, what's his wife's name? Where is she from? Where is she from? How old is she?"

While asking, Shizuku stretched out her hand - in the past, resurrecting a person would be a bit tricky for Fang Zheng, but fortunately, there is such a thing as the Yellow Springs Hell in this world. Of course, with Shizuku's strength, she doesn't need to discuss it with the people in the spirit world.

Shizuku stretched out her right hand and reached directly into the void. Then she scooped out a few handfuls as if she was taking a glass ball, and then found the soul of Sakazaki Takuma's wife, and brought it out without saying a word.

The next step is easy, the third cup of Fa Tian, ​​the materialization of the soul... done, job completed.

"Okay, let them go home and find someone."

"……Why?"

Helena was stunned when she heard Shizuku's answer. She had originally called to ask Shizuku what to do. After all, in Helena's opinion, resurrection of the dead was simply a fantasy. But from what Shizuku said, she had already fulfilled Sakazaki Takuma's wish?

“You are…”

"It's done. They can see living people when they go back."

“But, but this is…?”

"If KOF is to continue, there must be a hot topic. How can we go back on our word? If we say we will fulfill all the wishes of others, then we must fulfill all their wishes. Only in this way will more people participate in the next KOF competition. If we just pay money, then what is the difference between us and ordinary fighting competitions in other places? Well, I have something else to do. I'll hang up first."

Without waiting for Helena to say anything, Shizuku hung up the phone, raised her hand and stretched.

In this way, KOF's reputation will surely become even more famous.

I don’t know how the news media will report it.

Thinking of this, Shizuku couldn't help but smile slightly.

She can now look forward to tomorrow's newspaper headlines.
