This was the first time Ju Huang had ever found anything in front of her so pleasing to the eye.
"This guy has a Fujikawa face, calls himself Thirteen, and says he's the demon you contracted with. He has something to tell you, so he's been waiting here."
“I didn’t actually notice any trace of a contract on him, so if you don’t want to see him, baby, I’ll kill him.”
The woman who said this had completely forgotten that she had once wanted to form a contract with the other party, and spoke of it casually.
Why did everything pile up today?
Vili grumbled inwardly, his sleepiness vanishing completely after being startled awake.
"Thirteen." Ignoring Ju Huang's terrifying words, he looked at the strange figure who was swaying as he stood up. "What do you want?"
Thirteen glanced at the tall young man guarding Willy like a vicious dog, and hesitated, looking rather wary.
Juhuang, however, did not take him seriously at all. She lowered her head and buried it in Vili's delicate neck. He even went further and reached out his palm to loosely wrap around the boy's wrist.
"Baby seems to have lost weight again. Has he not been eating well these past few days?"
"I feel like I've seen this episode before."
The system suddenly spoke, looking dazed.
Vili lifted his foot and stomped hard on Juhuang's shoe, leaving a dusty footprint. Juhuang's grip loosened for a moment, and taking advantage of the opportunity, the young girl deftly broke free from his embrace.
Immediately keeping his distance from the young master, Vili, protected behind Thirteen, finally had the mind to ask, "Il, what are you saying?"
He hadn't heard the system's voice in his mind for a long time, and he almost didn't react just now.
"Ah," the system said a little embarrassedly, "I heard it from Yama-sakura before!"
There's just one formula!
"Just like what Juhuang did, she grabbed your hand to compare sizes, which was actually a way of taking advantage!"
Its tone was indignant.
"Then he'll come close to you and say things like you smell nice, or if you're wearing perfume..."
As the system instructed, Ju Huang did not chase after it. Instead, she stood still, suddenly raised her palm to her nose, and sniffed something like a wild beast.
"Then he'll say it's too late, and you can stay at his house instead of going back."
"Finally...finally..."
The system suddenly stopped working; the CPU probably burned out.
Vili: ...
"...Don't listen to everything Yama-zakura says."
After lowering her hand, Ju Huang raised her eyes, looked past Thirteen and met Vili's gaze, and spoke thoughtfully:
"Baby, when we were on the mission... were you with Kii the whole time?"
Otherwise... how could he smell the nauseating fragrance belonging to Kii Kanade on his own precious child?
That feudal family, with its almost pickled, rotten smell...
It's really annoying.
Vili recalled the haori that had once been draped over him, blinked, and remained silent, tacitly agreeing with the statement.
A dog that bites doesn't bark...
Ju Huang recalled the message that Ji Yi Kanade had sent her, and laughed in anger, her knuckles cracking as she clenched her fists.
Vili, however, was not intimidated at all. Instead, he patted Thirteen, who was still on high alert.
"Speak, what brings you here?"
The mission was announced at the last minute, and since Thirteen hadn't formed a contract with him, the only way to contact him was to wait at the dormitory entrance.
I wonder if I've scared any other kids these past few days.
Thirteen first glanced cautiously at Ju Huang.
The other person was typing furiously on their phone, almost slamming the screen shut, and hadn't noticed what was happening. They turned to face Vili and whispered:
“You asked me to stay by Asami Haruki’s side before, and I did as you asked.”
"He kept feeding me his flesh and blood, trying to form a contract with me, but I never agreed..."
It seems that Thirteen has indeed benefited a lot these days, and his speech is much more fluent than at the beginning.
"So he started to get suspicious?" Vili guessed.
If that's the case, then it's not too stupid.
Unexpectedly, Thirteen shook his head, but his movements were slow and hesitant.
"He...he seems to have gone mad..."
"..."
Vili was stunned.
"Was there such a setting in the original work? Could he have cut off so much of his own flesh that he also cut off his own spirit?"
After a long while, he finally spoke as if to himself. But before the system could reply, he had already anticipated its response.
"I have no idea……"
"Okay, you don't know."
The same words rang out at the same time, and the system sullenly shut its mouth, inappropriately venting its anger on the main god in its heart.
What a terrible script!
You trash god! I'll get rid of you sooner or later!
How do you know he's crazy?
Vili asked Thirteen.
“One night, I heard voices in his room, but he was clearly sleeping alone. I found it strange, so I quietly went over.”
"Then I heard him arguing with himself!"
Vili: ...?
"His facial expressions kept changing, and his words were incoherent; he wasn't as logical as me."
“One minute he’d be yelling things like ‘Get out!’ or ‘Go to hell!’ and the next he’d be saying things like ‘This body is mine now, so just accept reality.’”
"What's even more terrifying is that he later started hitting himself! He slammed his fist into his nose, and blood started flowing from it..."
"While he was hitting me, he kept saying things like, 'This is your body, don't you cherish it?' 'I'd rather die than let you succeed,' and things like that."
"..."
Willie raised an eyebrow, a guess gradually forming in his mind, but he didn't speak, instead continuing to listen quietly.
"I just watched from the side, thinking that if they used knives later, I could at least pick up some flesh and blood to eat."
Thirteen always kept in mind the task that Vili had given him.
"As the argument went on, Asami Haruki suddenly noticed me."
"He froze on the spot at first, then suddenly lunged at me. I dodged him, but he wouldn't give up and yelled at me—"
"Take me to Asami Miri! Only he can help me!"
"...Quite smart."
Vili crossed his arms, tapped his arm slightly with his index finger, and a smile curved his lips.
Thirteen continued, "But the next second, he told me, 'You're not allowed to go!'..."
“I think this is what you humans call ‘nerves’? Even I, with my supernatural powers, am a little scared of it…” Thirteen said, even trembling slightly. “I was just thinking of coming to find you as soon as possible, but you weren’t here…”
"All I saw was that person staying outside your dorm room..."
He glanced to the side and his eyes met those of Ju Huang, who had a half-smile on her face. He was so startled that he almost hid himself, but then he remembered that Vili was behind him, so he mustered up his courage and straightened his back.
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether the eccentric Asami Haruki or the person before him was more terrifying...
