The system can provide an answer to this.
"In fact, there is a plot in 'The Tale of the Evening View' where the youngest son of the Asami family is attacked and killed by a strange monster."
"In the manga, his death is just used to introduce the ghost story, allowing the three main characters to show their skills, and in the end, even Haruki Asami's name is not mentioned."
"But it was written in a corner."
The system unfolded the comic and pointed out that spot to Vili.
“'The flesh and blood of the dead seem to have a unique attraction.'”
"In the original story, the protagonist used this ability to make contracts with the monsters in the ghost stories."
“What kind of contract is this?” Willy closed the original book with some disdain. “He thought he was the owner of the dog, but to those monsters, it was just a free snack.”
"He gradually increased their appetite, until finally..."
Vili gave a cryptic laugh.
When he looked at the smug Haruki Asami again, he felt that his smile now would fit perfectly in the black and white photograph.
Vili crossed his arms and leaned against the door.
"so what?"
Haruki Asami, oblivious to his unusual behavior, spoke matter-of-factly as if everything was under control:
"So you should take the initiative to talk to your dad, give up your admission, and return to a normal life."
"Otherwise, you won't even know how you died."
"I'd also like to share this with you."
Willy's voice wasn't loud, but it made Asami Haruki's face instantly turn into a colorful mess.
"Don't push your luck!"
His previous polite mask was finally torn off, revealing his hideous true colors.
"Shall we make a bet?"
Vili, however, seemed not to hear him and interrupted him with a smile.
Caught off guard, Asami Haruki felt like a deflated balloon, his momentum vanishing, and he instinctively went along with Willie's words.
"...What kind of bet?"
"Let's bet... who can complete the contract with the supernatural being first after school starts."
"How about it?"
For newly enrolled students, they were hardly considered Yumi-sensei, and a contract was utterly out of the question. But upon hearing the contents of the bet, Asami Haruki could barely contain his elation.
He tried to remain calm.
"What about the stakes?"
"How about one condition for the bet?"
"If you win, you can ask me for anything. Whether it's transferring schools or leaving this house, it's fine."
"good."
Almost the instant Willie finished speaking, Asami Haruki immediately agreed, as if worried that Willie might change his mind; the latter even emphasized it again.
"Remember what you said today."
"certainly."
Willy remained expressionless, watching Asami Haruki's departing figure, and murmured softly.
"You are the same."
A purple magical mark appeared in the air, flashed for a moment, and was then injected into Asami Haruki's body without his noticing.
The system watched all of this, completely speechless.
It wasn't until night fell, and seeing that Willy seemed to be in a good mood, that it cautiously spoke.
"Host, if you were to win, what would you ask for?"
“No need for hypotheticals,” Willie corrected it first. “I won’t lose.”
Then, he revealed the mystery, a slight smile playing on his lips, revealing his cunning little tiger teeth.
"I will accept his soul."
Time flies, and on the first day of school, Asami Haruki urged Asami Shinichi to drive him to school early in the morning. After Willie slowly got ready, all that could be seen was the exhaust fumes from the car.
The system was in a panic.
"He did it on purpose! He completely ignored the fact that you also started school today!"
Willie remained calm throughout, and even had the energy to offer a few words of defense.
“It’s not entirely his fault. I think Asami Shinichi has forgotten that he has an eldest son.”
There's absolutely no need for Asami Haruki to deliberately show off or flaunt anything. Willie constantly feels out of place and ignored in this family. Asami's parents speak to him as if it's a favor, and they only ever talk about one thing—
How's the task I assigned you going?
They're less like parents and more like bosses, the kind who don't even pay salaries.
But Vili wasn't one to be trifled with; he always retaliated with a smile. Annoyed by their persistent harassment, he even used a little magic in their dreams. Now, the two of them trembled in fear whenever they saw him, like mice before a cat.
It's estimated that Shinji Asami breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Haruki Asami hadn't mentioned Willy, and drove extremely fast.
Willie wanted to do something about it, but the family was really on its last legs, barely maintaining a semblance of respectability, and their daily meals were getting worse and worse.
Vili began to doubt whether they would be able to afford the tuition fees in the future.
It has no value whatsoever.
For this reason, he even asked the system to help him with the accommodation process.
"Host, how do we get to the academy? It's quite a distance..."
As it spoke, Vili gently closed his eyes, as if listening intently to something.
A moment later, he opened his eyes, his gaze intense.
Although I haven't been there in person, teleportation magic isn't easy to locate... but at this time, most of the evening viewers are gathered there, and the strange power intertwining there is like a beacon in the darkness.
"Il, help me mark the point with the fewest people."
He unfolded the system's built-in map and said.
