Chapter 324

"In this case, we can just pretend that we met for the first time." After running back to the base in spirit form, Asaya Doman transformed back into his physical form in front of the dining table and said with a smile to the people who stayed at home.

"So, what kind of task did they assign you?" Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was preparing dinner, confirmed with Ashiya.

"No, basically all the work is still in the charge of those two parties." Asiya Michiman touched his chin and turned to look at Abe Haruaki who was sitting at the table, "But they want to confirm more detailed information about the corpses of those monsters - I guess Abe should have made a record when he picked them up, so I came back to ask."

"After all, I have to spend the rest of my time following Iwanaga Kotoko to advance the investigation."

"You guys, you can obviously know the answer by watching it yourself, right?" Abe Haruaki put down his chopsticks and glared at Ashiya Doman with dissatisfaction. "Although the Onmyoji that Ashiya Doman is good at in each world are always slightly different, the basic inherent skills are generally the same, right?"

"It is the treasure you possess as 'Ashiya Doman'."

"...I thought the 'me' in this world chose to do it myself." Asaya Doman, who was about to get some water in a disposable paper cup, stopped walking into the kitchen with a subtle expression, "Because I heard them say that the 'me' in this world abandoned the flesh and body and fell from a human to a demon."

"Isn't that not much different from that alien apostle?" Edmund complained while standing in the kitchen.

"No... If they have to choose between the two of them, who can become the evil human, I think this one has a higher chance, huh." Asiya Michimitsu glanced at Abe Haruaki with a guilty conscience, and subtly used the dark history of a certain Alterego who created a subspecies anomaly belt but failed to become the evil human to distinguish the situations of both sides, "The 'I' here..."

"To be honest, I think that apart from the evil hobby of torturing corpses, the rest of them are probably the same as mine..."

"Speak human language." Olgamari, who was currently on duty in the control room, glared at Asoya Doman through the communication projection.

"This is also a push from Abe Haruaki, right?" Fujimaru Ritsuka raised his head and gave Ashiya Doman a rather tired look. "So, you sent Lord Haruaki to the Throne of Heroes - what did Ashiya Doman do to Lord Haruaki? However, considering how perverted this guy is... I'm a little unsure what kind of guy he is."

"It's the legendary enchantress Morgan, right?" Mashuu changed the direction of the example, "The kind of guy who will do anything to get what he wants... huh? Why do I feel that His Majesty Morgan also fits this description... But there is no doubt that Lord Qingming in this world is the 'thing' he wants to obtain."

"Isn't that a yandere?" Coles, who was about to change shifts, passed by the director's seat and summed up what he had just heard from Mash. "Generally speaking, this type of existence will exclude all existence that may hinder the relationship between oneself and the person one likes... Eh? Who are you talking about? This mission is in Japan, right? There shouldn't be anything about Morgan, right?"

"...We are talking about the Ashiya Doman of this world, Mr. Colles." Fujimaru Ritsuka announced the answer to Colles with a smile, and then re-entered the discussion, "That is to say - Mr. Doman thinks that this guy is closer to the category of Beast than the alien apostles over there... Uh, it's because, uh... Do I really have to say this answer?"

"Go ahead." Olgamari sent Colles off, who had already clocked out, and began to calculate how long she had left before she could go to the cafeteria. She asked Fujimaru Ritsuka to continue, "We are not going to face the guys behind those foreigners directly, so it shouldn't be a huge shock to our spirits, right?"

"No, I think this answer is still too shocking." Fujimaru Ritsuka blinked, took a deep breath and announced the answer he had guessed, "In other words, the essence of Ashiya Doman creating various events here is to eliminate all factors that may interfere with his relationship with Abe Haruaki."

"Senior, it doesn't matter if you put it more directly." Mashu looked at the water cup in front of him with empty eyes, and he obviously guessed the answer that Fujimaru Ritsuka had not yet said directly.

"He's a man who is similar to the Cave King - I understand." Abe Haruaki glanced at Edmund who had not yet come out of the kitchen, and got the answer from the silence between Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka, "He's the kind of man who wants to kill everyone in the world so that he can live a perfect world of two with me without anyone interfering."

“…Even I haven’t thought of such a ridiculous thing!?!”

A terrible scream broke out on Asaya-michi.

“Do you think you’re any better than this guy over here?” Abe Haruaki kicked Asaya Michimitsu in disgust, jumped off the chair and landed on the ground, “I was determined to never open my eyes again when I went to die!? But I turned around and appeared on the Throne of Heroes! And it was even Caster who was qualified to be the Crown!”

"No, no, no, I just can't accept that you want to 'die like this'!" Asaya Michiman quickly retreated, while frantically making excuses to Abe Haruaki who was digging up the past, "My feelings are not as heavy as this guy's, right!?! Besides, how could I kill humans or monsters casually!!!"

"Ha!? Isn't it because you want to play the role of 'Great Onmyoji Abe Haruaki' that you didn't do it!!!" Abe Haruaki was not convinced by Asaya Michiman's cunning excuses, but became even more furious, "Besides, how dare you say that your feelings for me are not as good as that pervert's feelings for Abe Haruaki over here!?"

“Mr. Doman… you’ve completely tripped up Lord Haruaki’s trap.” Fujimaru Ritsuka turned aside and looked at the two Alteregos who were already caught up in a chaotic battle with a subtle expression. “To be honest, Lord Haruaki himself would occasionally bring up the matter of being engraved on the Throne of Heroes in a joking tone… but Lord Haruaki is more concerned about things that won’t be mentioned.”

"After all, neither of these two guys has admitted it directly. Of course, it's not uncommon for them to say it during an argument, but neither of them is the type to take what they say during an argument seriously." Noah, who had just strolled into the control room, happened to catch the live broadcast of the two Alteregos fighting each other. "Although they are not in the same system, I wonder if Amor needs to shoot them in the face to solve the problem of them not wanting to talk to each other properly."

"Ah, Mr. Noah." Mashu smiled and nodded to Noah, "Long time no see, what brings you to the control room?"

"Because I saw the notice they sent in the Crown Chat Room that they might appear as Caster Abe Haruaki in the future, so I came to take a look at your situation." Noah casually exposed the preparations made by the two Alteregos in advance to everyone, "Although generally speaking, they can solve most problems as Alteregos..."

"But, since you specifically mentioned that you would manifest as Caster Abe Haruaki, I am a little worried that you might have encountered some unusual situation."

"Ah, that." Abe Haruaki, who punched Asaya Doman on the head, was distracted and answered Noah, "After all, we have to deal with 'Asaya Doman' - just like choosing Taigong Wang to deal with Daji. After all, from the concept of servants, the two of us can only be regarded as two sides of 'Great Onmyoji Abe Haruaki'."

"To deal with the complete 'Ashiya Doman' from other worlds, we can only use the complete 'Abe Haruaki' to deal with it, right?"

"As long as you are confident." Noah nodded and turned to walk out of the control room. "When I saw your warning notice, I almost suspected that the Master had encountered the Beast again. Since there were no unexpected problems, I will go back. If you really encounter a problem that cannot be solved, remember to ask for support from the control room and Heroes of Heroes."

"Yes, yes, you are so troubled - God's Favored One."

After Abe Haruaki punched Asaya Doman, the two of them stopped and tidied themselves up as if nothing had happened - just like every other time in the past when a quarrel between the two of them quickly escalated into a fight and was interrupted by other witnesses.

"Do you think that's weird?" Edmund placed a delicate dessert in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka and looked up at the two Alteregos who were still sorting out their instruments. "It's not just these two. Most Heroic Spirits will quickly turn a quarrel from a disagreement into a fight - they just won't fight right in front of you."

"Also, most Heroic Spirits won't fight like them... well, they'll be more formal. Generally speaking, only a few members who specialize in fighting techniques will fight directly with fists and feet - other than that, only Heroic Spirits with championship qualifications... no, to be more precise, Heroic Spirits with Caster rank and championship qualifications will fight directly."

"To be honest, since it doesn't cause any harm, at most it just messes up the appearance - so they seem to fight each other quite often...ah, the one who gets beaten the most is Merlin."

"...You have a pretty rich spare time." Fujimaru Ritsuka turned around and raised an eyebrow at Edmund, "But Merlin is often beaten - although it can't be considered a surprise, it turns out that it's not just Fufu, the doctor and King Gilgamesh who don't like him... That's not right, it seems that there are quite a lot of people who don't like Merlin -"

"It turns out that besides Fu Fu, there are people who would actually hit him."

"Hmm." Edmund fluently provided Fujimaru Ritsuka with more internal information about the Throne of Heroes. "Generally speaking, the people who would fight with Merlin are either Taiko Nozomi or Abe Haruaki—"

"When I return, I will definitely go to Noah's place to learn about the situation at each event." Fujimaru Ritsuka happily decided on the arrangements after returning. "The interactions between the Grand Servants sound very interesting."

"Senior, you just want to see Merlin get beaten." Marsh complained.
