"But why is Nia the target?"

Fili asked carefully, "Is it because of her...serial killings?"

"That's right." Ash nodded. "To put it simply, all of us are looking for an existence called 'Angel', and the characteristics of an angel are abnormal values, antisociality, and contempt for life. Combined with all these, the serial killer is obviously the biggest suspect."

Fili objected: "But don't some leaders of evil forces also meet the requirements?"

"No, the leaders of evil forces are not antisocial. They just want to rebel against the existing order and build a new order centered on themselves. Angels are antisocial because they cannot integrate into any social group," Ash explained. "For angels, they hide among us, just like you hide among the flock of sheep. Can you recognize the appearance of each sheep? Will you follow the order of the flock?"

"We infer that angels have contempt for life because we don't care whether sheep live or die. If a sheep offends you, you will have many reasons not to kill it, but none of them is 'because the sheep is my fellow man.'"

Fili was stunned when she heard this: "What on earth are angels?"

"I don't know either, but it looks like a human." Ash looked at Rose: "Besides Nia, are there any other targets that meet the requirements?"

"There are three in Jiashili," Rose pushed up her blue light blocking glasses and looked at her phone and said, "Sheepskin Killer, Death Surgeon, and Sewer Butcher."

"We can take action against them at any time." She said calmly, "I have business dealings with them. I have a way to trick them into a cage in a suburban factory. It's remote and desolate there, and no one will know what happens there."

Business dealings…?

Fili suddenly remembered something: "Do angels have super powers?"

"It's possible, but since there have never been any supernatural mystical incidents in the Star Kingdom before, we can assume that there aren't any."

"Then you can catch Nia without me, right?" Fili looked at Rose, "You can mobilize so many social resources——"

"I have encountered Niya before. If I don't use magic spirits, her strength is higher than mine."

Ash said: "So I need your demonic power, even if it only allows me to use the magic spirit, I can capture Nia 100%."

"Besides, I hope I can catch her myself. I don't want any accidents to happen."

"Actually, I can catch her too." Vichy said casually while eating his sixth steak, "As long as the Death Maniac's swordsmanship doesn't reach the realm of God, my spear and halberd are enough to crush her and her sword together—"

"Ah, I forgot to tell you, Vichy, that Igula wasn't even listed in the order list, really..."

Ash put his arm around Vichy's bare white shoulders and tilted his head to look at her, with half of his face hidden in the shadows. He said calmly, "If you dare to touch Nia..."

"I will kill you."

Fili blinked. If she remembered correctly, Vichy seemed to have always hoped that Ash would kill her. Would this threat really work? However, the demon maid Vichy just looked at Ash quietly. After a moment, she lowered her noble head and answered softly:

"I understand, Master."

Feeling that the atmosphere was not right, Fili quickly changed the subject: "Ms. Vichy, have you dyed your hair? I remember you had burgundy hair before."

Although she was almost killed by Vichy, Fili was not the type to hold grudges, and she was not injured. More importantly, Vichy's aura was too strong, and she turned into a little lamb in front of the maid.

"I didn't like her having red hair too, so I asked her to change the color," Ash said calmly.

"Do you understand, little Fili?" Vichy winked at the blonde girl, "Red is the color that can most arouse the master's sexual desire."

"Where are Mr. Igula and Mr. Harvey?" Fili had no choice but to change the subject.

"Everyone is preparing for the next battle," Ash said, "Harvey is dealing with temporary corpses, and Igula... I don't know what Igula does, but he spends a lot of money every day, which is very reassuring."

"Rose's job is to follow me, and I really need Rose's help. But I don't feel comfortable leaving Vichy alone at home, so I have to keep her by my side all the time."

"The master really likes me too much." Weixi spread his hands: "He even asks me to follow him when he goes to the toilet and takes a shower. Not only does he ask me to help him, but sometimes when he gets impatient, he even treats me as a -"

Ash dunked Vichy on the head and explained to Fili, "I will leave her in someone else's care while I take care of my personal hygiene. Don't get me wrong."

"I have no misunderstanding at all." Fili quickly stated, "By the way, Senior Demir..."

"Of course, no problem." Ash suddenly showed a strange smile, and this expression reminded Fili of the look on Senior Leah's face when she watched a romantic comedy. "And we can help more."

"What?"

"Help to bring you and Demir together!" Ash spread his hands and said, "Originally, we chose to give you an additional award because we wanted you to show off in front of the whole school and make a deep impression on Demir."

"I didn't expect you to do better than we thought. You fought against the school leaders for him, which must have greatly increased your points in his heart. Now we just need to ask him out in your name, and you two will surely become a couple--"

"don't want!"

Fili's decisive reaction made Ash a little confused, and even made him doubt his own judgment: "Don't you like him?"

"Well, even if I really have a crush on Senior Demir, that's human nature." Fili said helplessly, "There are many people who like you like me."

Ash: "Beauty is only for the strong!"

Rose and Vichy glanced at him and continued eating.

"But over the years, there has been no scandal around the senior, and he has been focusing on studying scientific research, which means he has no intention of developing a relationship with a woman." Fili lowered her head and rubbed her hands: "If I approach him rashly, the most likely result will be... a friendship like now."

"Besides..." Her voice became weaker and weaker: "If I ask him out and get rejected...it would be too embarrassing..."

Ash pondered for a moment. Dimir had been single for many years, probably because Dimi was single in real life. Although he wanted to say that it was not shameful to fail on a date, he thought carefully that he was so nervous on a date with Sword Princess, who knew him well, not to mention the innocent little Fili.

"So, you want him to ask you out?" Ash pondered, "It's not impossible..."

Rose immediately responded: "Threate him with something?"

Vichy also suggested: "Kidnap his family?"

"No!" Fili looked like she was about to cry: "I don't want to date him, and I don't want the senior to date me either..."

"Okay, I completely understand what you want." Ash understood.

Fili breathed a sigh of relief, watching Ash take out his phone and make a call.

…

…

On the other side, backstage in the auditorium, the dean was yelling at the students.

"You think our school is shameful enough, don't you?" He pointed outside and said, "It will take several months for the laboratory building to be repaired, and people outside will laugh at our school for several months! The gas explosion blew up half of the laboratory building, and just because of the insufficient fire safety level, our school's ranking has dropped by three places - before us, no school has ever dropped in the rankings due to fire safety!"

"It's going to go down in history." Leah whistled.

"And yet you guys caused this during such an important awards ceremony, with reporters watching!" the Dean scolded, "Can't you file a complaint and discuss it afterwards? Do you really have to make the school lose face?"

"The school is embarrassed because someone is shameless..." Leah muttered, glancing at Urus and Lascas beside her.

"Just shut up!"

The Dean of Studies scolded Leah and stared at Demir and said, "Demir, I thought you were the best student who didn't need me to worry about anything, but you actually messed up with me? You had conflicts with Urus and Lascas, couldn't you discuss them privately? I thought you were the most sensible and considerate of the overall situation, why are you still so ignorant?"

Demir lowered his head and did not answer.

The Dean of Studies sighed after scolding, "You ruined the award ceremony of Urus and Lascas this time. Don't you have any expression for that? Classmates should love each other. How can you hate each other like enemies? Anything should be resolved through formal channels, but it is wrong for you to act so recklessly. Apologize to your classmates!"

Urus and Lascas looked at Demir with a strange expression, and said nothing. Leah wanted to say something, but when she saw Demir's silence, she turned her head away.

After a moment, the dean's voice became louder: "Demir Vosloda!"

Hearing his last name, Demir's body trembled slightly. He took a long breath and said, "I..."

Ding-ding-ding-ding——

Everyone was stunned, and then the dean took out his mobile phone to answer the call. He nodded repeatedly with a respectful look on his face, but his expression soon became extremely ugly, and the last few words of "OK" he said seemed to be squeezed out of a wrung-out towel.

He put down his phone and looked at the students in front of him with a very complicated expression.

"The University Cup Committee will initiate a review mechanism to re-evaluate the qualifications for the Chemistry Prize. If any counterfeiting or fraud is found, the criticism will be notified and recorded in the files."

Urus and Lascas turned pale, and then the dean looked at Demir and said helplessly, "Mr. Heath just called me and told me that he wants to invest in your research team. He asked if you are free to talk to his second assistant, Fili Lena, in three days."

Leah's eyes widened: "What!?"

Demir was startled, then replied, "Yes!"

"He also asked me to tell you," the dean said, "You should thank his assistant. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have known about this."

"Fili became Heath's assistant?" Leah murmured, "How is that possible? Could Heath be her long-lost brother?"

Demir was also stunned for a while. He was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at Leah:

"Ms. Leah, would you like to talk to me about Miss Fili sometime?"

…

…

"Are you! Sick!?!"

Fili rushed towards Ash, but was hugged by Rose. The blonde girl was filled with grief and anger: "Why did you do this to me? Are you playing a prank on me?"

"What's wrong with that?!" Ash was shocked. "I'm just helping you create a date opportunity. You two are just going to discuss work and date at the same time. There's no such thing as one chasing after the other or dating the other. I've completely met your requirements!"

"But I, but I...I can't date Senior Demir!"

"Why?"

"I get so nervous in front of him that I can't speak or even stutter." Fili was numb. "How can I go on a date like this?"

Ash shrugged it off: "You're just too nervous. You'll get used to it."

"And I don't know how to date, so what should I do when the time comes?" Fili asked, "What if I don't perform well and he hates me even more?"

"Leave this matter to us," Ash said cheerfully, "We can definitely help you—"

He looked back and the sound suddenly stopped.

Rose: You can tell at first glance that she's a social weirdo who's never been on a date.

Himself: Just thrown into star country right before the first date.

Finally, Ash could only look at Vichy, who had a smirk on his face.

"You've ever dated someone like that?"

"I have extensive experience dealing with people of all races and genders." Weishi smiled and said, "There are always some people I have to sneak attack to be sure of killing."

"And in the two days since I came here, I have already traveled all over Jiashi. I know all the fun places and places worth visiting. You are asking the right person."

Ash: "I can also ask Igura."

"Igula comes home so late and so tired every day, are you happy to disturb him?"

“Tsk…”

"Leave it to me, Master." Vichy said politely, "However, although I can plan a perfect date schedule, this is Little Fili's first date, and she has such a serious problem in getting along with others. I think we need to rehearse in advance, otherwise even the best plan will turn into a disaster."

"exercise?"

"Let's go on a date together, Master." Wei Xi licked his lips and smiled, "You can also prepare for a date with Sword Princess in the future."
