I want to just drift through life in Type-Moon.

"Let me think back first, and then you can finish what you were saying earlier." Among the people she saw, Orange recognized two of them, but apart from those two, it was hard to describe the appearance of the others. So she got up and found paper and pen on her desk, and started drawing and writing on them to help her organize the specific characteristics of those people.

"There's not much to say about the outer world anymore, because I don't know much about the final [Root] either, and it's a taboo subject. Excessive curiosity will only bring destruction. More importantly, none of you here have a reason to go there." Ling Ke didn't intend to continue talking about the outer world. Just as he said, those things were taboo, especially since an investigation team had already arrived from Chaldea. Before knowing the identities of those people, he had to keep a low profile.

"Olga, is there anything else you want to know?" To avoid these questions, he gave Olga the choice again.

“What else will you tell me?” Olga stared at Ling’s face.

"—Within a suitable range," Ling said with a slightly hesitant tone.

“Then there’s nothing more to ask,” Olga said, lowering her head in disappointment after hearing Ling’s perfunctory answer. “Why don’t you tell me about the four great exorcism families you’ve been dealing with before? After all, won’t your Orange Sister be facing them later?”

These words were jarring to Ling and Chengzi. Chengzi immediately gave an indifferent look, while Ling guiltily turned her face away, avoiding looking at the two of them.

“What I’m about to say might be a little different from the actual situation. Before I begin, let me ask you a question.” Ling quickly composed himself. Since Olga had already said so, avoiding the question would only make things more awkward. So he nodded slightly and asked Aozaki Touko his question.

"Miss Orange, did your sister Aozaki Aoko steal a pair of Mystic Eyes from you?"

The way the question was asked was strange. Orange's eyes suddenly widened, and she couldn't help but put down her pen. "Yes, you know about this?"

Orange from Chaldea also looked curious. Now that she thought about it, she probably didn't know what Aoko had done with the Mystic Eye Killer she'd stolen. The Mystic Eye Killer was actually a magical item that could suppress the power of the Mystic Eye. Because the target of suppression was the eye, it was usually made into glasses.

Those who possess the Mystic Eyes generally use them for everyday convenience. Orange's homemade Mystic Eye Killer is arguably one of the most effective in the magic world. In particular, the one her sister Aoko stole was her own, and she had invested a huge sum of money in it. She was heartbroken for a long time after it was stolen, and then she used Aoko's name to swindle a large sum of money from the Clock Tower to make up for the loss.

"Yes, I know. So that's how it is. Even if it's not Tsukihime's world line, Shiki's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception will still awaken." Rin's voice was a little dazed, with a sense of understanding in her tone.

Back at Chaldea, when Touko heard the name Shiki, she immediately felt a little nervous. But after connecting it with the fact that Aoko had stolen the Mystic Eyes Killer, she felt something was off. Shiki had never worn the Mystic Eyes Killer from beginning to end. Even though Touko had specially made a pair for Shiki before leaving Kanbuko City, Shiki had given her back with the excuse, "Why should I make you happy?"

"Shiki? You mean that girl from the Ryougi family?" Orange looked at Ling with confusion. Since he mentioned the four great families of exorcism, the Ryougi family, as the lords of the underworld in Kanbuko, was one of them. Moreover, she had visited them after arriving in Kanbuko City. After all, they were both from the underworld. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, it was the wisest thing to do to greet them first before staying here.

Moreover, the reason why they were able to acquire this property is also somewhat related to the Ryougi family.

“No, although they are both Shiki, I’m not talking about Ryougi Shiki, but Nanaya Shiki. Right now, it should be Arima Shiki, and in a few years it will be Tohno Shiki.” Rin rubbed her temples. “By the way, the Nanaya family has been wiped out, hasn’t it?”

"Yes, just like you mentioned before, of the four great demon-slaying families, some have fallen into decline, some have been wiped out, and some have gone into hiding. Only the Liangyi family in Guanbuzi City is still active on the surface."

“This is a very normal situation, because apart from the Liangyi family having a specific business and the fact that what they have inherited is not an unusual skill, the other three families are courting death.” Ling said slowly, resting her chin on her hands.

Olga realized that what Ling was about to say might be important, so she put aside her growing hostility towards Orange and listened carefully to what Ling had to say.

"Since Miss Orange wants to get involved in the affairs of the Asagami family and the Wujing family, then I will explain the reasons for these matters. Ah, I wonder if Miss Orange accepts murder cases? If so, I hope you can help me kill someone, someone you know." A black, burly figure flashed through Ling's mind, and a faint killing intent began to spread from him.

This was the first time Olga had ever seen Ling display such killing intent. Unlike the murky killing intent they had felt before, which was more of a chaotic impulse to destroy than actual killing intent, this time Olga felt a pure, clean emotion without a trace of confusion.

"Don't you have a magician assassin by your side? If you want to kill someone, just ask him." Orange didn't agree to Ling's request right away, because she knew that since the other party specifically mentioned it, the person to be killed must be extraordinary.

"Kiritsugu-san's words cannot completely kill the other party, because that person has immortality similar to yours. Even if he is not prepared, if Kiritsugu-san kills him once, he will probably be resurrected in a hundred years. What I want is his complete death, without leaving any chance."

“Since I’ve told you about Asagami Fujino and Wujo Kirie, there’s a high chance you’ll run into that person too. Without those two, the story of Kara no Kyoukai wouldn’t be complete, so why not just destroy it completely?” Rin’s words made Touko frown repeatedly, not because of Rin’s murderous intent, but because of the meaning behind his words.

"The future you know may not become my future. At least after hearing what you said, I am mentally prepared for things that haven't happened yet, and I may make other choices when the time comes." Orange doesn't like her life being controlled. Although Ling hasn't explained her future in detail, the situation that can be inferred from those few words has already made her very unhappy.

“I think you’ve got it wrong. In the stories I know, apart from the Night of the Wizard, you’ve never been the main character, Miss Orange. At most, you’re an important character, or even a background character who’s only seen briefly.” Ling understood Orange’s concerns. In fact, he had thought about this issue long ago. Whether the future could be changed and whether fate could be broken, the upcoming Holy Grail War would be a good test.

"The protagonist of the story of Kara no Kyoukai is Ryougi Shiki. You're just a heartless boss who withholds wages." Ling shrugged. Orange's expression didn't change after hearing his teasing, which disappointed him a little.

Sure enough, this person has a thick skin.

"What rude thing are you thinking?" Orange seemed to see into his heart, and her eyes sharpened.

"—The weather is really nice tonight." Ling looked up at the window and abruptly changed the subject.

"Heh~" Orange scoffed, but didn't pursue the matter further.

"Actually, as a pessimist, I don't agree with your point of view. You think the future is a multiple-choice question, but I think the future is a fill-in-the-blank question. Just like in all the timelines I know, it's always Aoko who becomes the Fifth Magician. It's destined." Ling chuckled, her smile quite eerie.

"Alright, if you don't want me to kick you out, stop talking nonsense. Since I promised to help those two girls, just tell me everything about them! As for what you said about me killing someone, I'll consider that after this topic is over!" Orange was finally angered by Ling. This time, her voice was filled with undisguised annoyance. The repeated probing made her want to kick him out, but what Ling was saying was also intriguing. This made Orange feel that the guy in front of her was really, really asking for a beating!

Olga also felt that it wasn't good for Ling to continue flirting with Touko. Moreover, she always felt that after Touko appeared, Ling had focused all his attention on her, and she was being ignored by him to some extent. Even though she was used to this situation, she still felt very uncomfortable. "Ling, it's getting late. Let's finish talking and go back sooner. Didn't we agree to go out for a walk again tomorrow?"

Olga abandoned her previous arrogant attitude and took the initiative to pursue Ling. In fact, they didn't have any specific plans for tomorrow, but Ling would generally not refuse if she made the suggestion—especially now that Ling felt guilty towards her.

“That’s true.” Ling gave Olga a deep look. “Olga, just consider what I’m about to say as something to broaden your horizons, because you never know when you might need it.”

"The concept of 'demon' has different definitions around the world. In the West, it usually refers to evil spirits, but what I'm about to talk about is specific to the island nation of Japan." Ling pointed to the land beneath her feet and entered teaching mode with a serious expression.

"In Japan, the distortion of nature is defined as a demon, which includes, but is not limited to, evil spirits, monsters, and abnormal behavior. In other words, apart from ordinary humans and Shinto deities who receive orthodox worship, all other non-human beings can be categorized here. Exorcism is about repairing distortions, which could be distorted phenomena or distorted species. The so-called exorcism families are special organizations created on this land of Japan to protect human society."

"Only four exorcism families have survived to the present day: Asagami, Nanaya, Wujing, and Ryougi. Leaving aside the relatively normal Ryougi, Asagami has declined, Nanaya was wiped out by the demons, and Wujing, as a lineage of priestesses, has gradually become a mere formality with the development of the times."

"Let's talk about Asagami first. In fact, Asagami's decline was self-inflicted. This family raised the captured human-demon hybrids as guardian deities, similar to the interest of witches in making a pact with demons or worshipping evil gods. In the end, as they continued to mix with them, their human bloodline gradually thinned, and they themselves almost became human-demon hybrids. This is a classic example of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead."

"The Asagami family's main branch is located in Nagano. They once had a prominent reputation in the mystical world, but due to the dwindling number of demons in modern times, exorcising demons has lost its source of income. As a result, apart from the Ryougi family, who have turned to the underworld, and the Shijou family, who receive state offerings, the Asagami family has gradually declined due to being ostracized by the country's upper echelons because of their bloodline. Now, their population is dwindling, and they are on the verge of bankruptcy due to mismanagement and a large amount of debt. On the contrary, the Asagami family, whose bloodline is not so strong, has made a fortune by entering the construction industry a few years ago and has become more successful than the main family."

Chapter 404 Oranges, Oranges, and More Oranges (Part 12)

“I’ve also heard about the Asagami family. Just like you said, this family probably won’t last much longer. The current head of the family, Asagami Yushu, isn’t the kind of person with great courage, so the fate of this family is already sealed.” Orange also had her own sources of information and had a basic understanding of what Ling was talking about. After all, many of her clients in Japan had intricate connections with the four great exorcist families.

"So that's what Asagami Fujino's father's name was."

"You don't know?" Orange looked at Ling with a hint of surprise, after all, in her impression, Ling was omniscient.

"Why would I bother to remember the name of a man who doesn't even get a chance to appear?" Ling shook her head and chuckled. "However, I know very well what this man did to his woman. That's right, Miss Orange, the person you're going to save is Asagami Fujino before she changed her name. If you save her, she'll be a great assistant."

“Since the Asagami family possesses demon blood, then this Asagami Fujino must have some very special abilities.” Touko remained noncommittal about Rin’s words.

"As for her ability, it's the Mystic Eyes, but this ability is temporarily sealed because the head of the Asagami family believes that in the modern era where supernatural families are declining, the Asagami's supernatural abilities should not be passed down. Therefore, he managed to seal Fujino's ability. After the Asagami family went bankrupt, Fujino's mother, Asagami Asayuki, remarried into the branch family, the Asagami family. Her stepfather, Asagami Yasuzo, was also afraid of this ability. When Fujino lost control at the end, he asked you to kill the girl."

Orange showed a look of disgust, whether from hearing that someone had commissioned her to kill someone, or from Ling revealing her future again, it was unclear.

"Based on the levels of the Mystic Eyes, this girl's Mystic Eyes should be at the [Gem] level. If she awakens the final [Clairvoyance], then it should reach the [Rainbow] level."

"Hey, is this for real? What's wrong with that girl's eyes?" Upon hearing that Asagami Fujino's eyes were actually [Gem]-level Mystic Eyes, Touko, as a puppeteer, could no longer remain indifferent. If she could analyze this Mystic Eye, which only existed in legends, her own Mystic Eye might be able to evolve again.

"Asagami Fujino's Mystic Eyes are 'Distortionary Mystic Eyes,' which use vision to open rotation axes—left for left rotation and right for right rotation—to distort the object being viewed. If both rotation axes are opened simultaneously on an object, it can be twisted and severed at the intersection. The Mystic Eyes' abilities are influenced by perception; if Fujino deems something undistortable, then it cannot be distorted. In principle, it cannot distort magical barriers or enchantments, but it can distort the bases used to cast them. Imagine, after your instruction, this girl's magical knowledge allows her to perceive those things; then, wouldn't her eyes be equivalent to an omnipotent weapon of destruction?"

"That's really exaggerated. And from what you've said, this girl also has the ability of [X-ray vision], right? If you add this lake to that, wouldn't she be an assassin that can't be avoided?" Orange instantly thought of the best use for these two magical eyes. [X-ray vision] is a kind of long-range vision. If you add [distortion] to it, then she can really kill people without them even realizing it.

"How did the Asagami family seal her abilities, and why did her abilities go berserk?" After learning about Fujino's Mystic Eyes, Touko finally decided to resolve the matter. Previously, she had wanted to resolve it herself without relying on Rin, because that would incur a heavy debt of gratitude. But now, the sooner the better, as she couldn't wait to study the girl's eyes.

Seeing that the orange had taken the bait, Ling breathed a slight sigh of relief. "As a half-human, half-demon, Asagami Fujino was persecuted by the villagers as a cursed child because she had the ability to bend objects without being touched. This influence has not been eliminated even now."

"From the age of six, Fujino lost her senses along with her abilities; nominally, she suffered from analgesia, but in reality, after she contracted neuromyelitis optica, her father deliberately asked the doctor to give her painkillers, using the method of blocking her senses to seal her abilities. However, the method of blocking her senses not only allowed her power to accumulate and increase, but also, because she lost the sense of pain, she could not feel the reality of being alive. Therefore, after regaining the sense of pain, in order to maintain this sense, she became a murderer." Rin explained everything about Asagami Fujino in a simple prophecy.

"However, the people she killed were all perpetrators. In early 98, Fujino was kidnapped by a group of thugs who were dropouts. She was humiliated and sexually assaulted by a violent gang for a long time. During an accidental beating, she regained her sense of pain, and her abilities reawakened. Then, a magician who had been watching her agreed to her request to heal her body, which also allowed her to intermittently regain her senses and special abilities. Finally, after being stabbed by a thug, her abilities went berserk, and she killed all of them. However, one of them escaped. In order to silence the escapee, Fujino kept contacting and killing people who might know the escapee. The reason that drove her to act gradually became a cruel self that could not get the pleasure of survival without hurting people, and she degenerated into a murderer."

"It's really not a funny experience. So what was her fate?" Orange waved her hand listlessly, it was hard to tell if she was sympathizing with Fujino's plight.

"As for the ending, she encountered the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, lost, and eventually went blind but also came to understand life and death. She tried to make up for her past mistakes and started helping others. Although I don't think it's a good ending, at least she found a new meaning in her existence, so I won't comment further." Ling shrugged, looking indifferent.

"What a waste. Alright, I'll save this girl. As for the expenses, I'll reimburse you." After understanding Fujino's value, Orange decided to take action, but she didn't have much money herself, so she had to ask the person opposite her, who clearly didn't lack money, for help.

"—You're really not being polite." Ling rolled her eyes helplessly, then looked at the maid who had been standing silently behind her. "You should have brought your checkbook, right?"

"Yes, Lord Ling." Upon hearing Ling's question, the maid seemed to come alive, taking out a Fuji Bank checkbook from her pocket and laying it out for Ling. Then, another maid took out a stamp and a pen, awaiting Ling's orders.

"As promised before, I'll give you three hundred million US dollars now as seed money, Miss Orange. Is that enough?" Ling asked specifically to confirm.

"It's barely acceptable," Orange waved her hand, satisfied with the amount.

"Then let's increase it to 500 million. If that's not enough, just ask me for more. I think the Asagami family must be short of money right now. Miss Orange, it should be easy for you to play the villain and buy that girl." Ling even offered a solution, making it difficult for Orange to refuse.

"Next, let's talk about Wuzhao Kirie. She's currently at Kanbuko General Hospital, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, she'll stay there until she dies. Moreover, if we were to attack her, we'd be facing the person I want you to kill. If that's the case, do you still want to hear this?" Rin calmly stated these words, but that murderous intent resurfaced.

Aozaki Touko on Chaldea already knew who Rin wanted to kill. She chuckled and said, "This kind of fate is really catching people off guard."

Da Vinci understood the implication in Orange's words, and she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Miss Aozaki, do you already know who Ling wants to kill?"

“Ah, I already know. After all, it’s related to Wuzhao Kirie, and it’s that hospital, so the answer is quite obvious.” Orange looked at Lev. “I think Professor Lev knows the person that Servant wants to kill.”

Rafe was taken aback. He hadn't expected Orange to say that. He had been avoiding talking to her, but now it seemed he couldn't hide it anymore.

"Here's a hint: that's a monk." Orange smiled and squinted her eyes playfully.

Upon receiving the hint, Rafe frowned deeply. He and Aozaki Touko met at the Clock Tower, and at that time, there was only one monk who appeared with Aozaki Touko, "Araya Sōren?"

At the same time, Orange from another world thought for a moment, then put away the check and refused, saying, "Let's skip this question for now. Tell me about playing with the Four Great Exorcists first."

"They really do take the money and then deny it." Ling watched as Chengzi put the check away without even verifying it, and couldn't say anything more. "Wu Tiao should be a branch of Wu Jing. Among the four great exorcists, Liang Yi and Wu Jing have skills that are useful even outside of exorcism, and they survived because they made that their main profession."

"Fujou (巫浄), as its name suggests, is a lineage of shrine maidens. Like Shichiya, Fujou will pass on their special abilities to their descendants. However, unlike Shichiya's family, which passes on their abilities through bloodline, they pass them on by teaching knowledge and skills. Women who receive the name Fujou (巫浄) will go blind, supposedly so that they can see the other world instead of the present world."

"Wujou Kirie's ability was likely developed based on this foundation. Her ability is called 'Dual Existence.' Due to her physical condition, Wujou Kirie was bewitched by the magician I wanted to kill, abandoning her physical senses and living in fantasy. As a result, she created a being similar to a soul, floating in the air all day, taking in the scenery that she couldn't see because her body couldn't move freely. In the end, she found that she still couldn't get what she wanted by doing this, and one night she jumped to her death from the top of the Wujou Building."

Ling's tone was devoid of any emotion, as if he had absolutely no feelings about Wuzhao Wue's life.

Orange didn't offer any opinion, but she raised her eyes, signaling for Ling to continue.

“Next is Shichiya. The Shichiya family is a clan of exorcists who inherit superpowers through heredity. Their special ability is the [Pure Eye].” As Ling said this, Olga tugged at his sleeve, making him look over.

"What is the Pure Eye? Is it a type of Demon Eye?" Olga, a Western-style magician, seemed unfamiliar with the term Pure Eye.

"The Pure Eye and the Demon Eye are not closely related. The Pure Eye is the Pure Eye, and the Demon Eye is the Demon Eye; they are different categories. The Pure Eye is a type of superpower, said to have been possessed by high-ranking monks in the past. It can see things that ordinary people cannot see, that is, it can see the 'invisible.'" It wasn't Ling who explained this to Olga, but Orange, who had a deep understanding of both Eastern and Western mysticism. After all, she had heard Ling's explanations quite a bit tonight, so she couldn't help but show off her knowledge.

"The Pure Eye is a causal and predestined inheritance, passed down from parents to children. The Pure Eye contains the spirituality and experience of the parents. It is said that all members of the Seven Nights Exorcising Demon Family possess the Pure Eye."

With Orange's explanation, Olga finally understood that it wasn't even a Magic Eye, and immediately lost interest.

"Indeed, the Shichiya family all possess the Pure Eye, but they don't rely on that to join the ranks of exorcists. They rely on a physical technique they developed to push the limits of humanity for exorcism—the Shichiya Assassination Technique. This is a physical technique that the Shichiya family developed to push the limits of humanity for exorcism. It has a walking style that defies common sense, speed that surpasses that of humans, and spider-like footwork. It can suddenly accelerate from a standstill, turn at extremely high speeds, and quickly detect surrounding objects."

Ling seemed to admire this technique, and he added, "The complete Seven Nights Assassination Technique can even defeat Servants without any other special abilities. It's an amazing technique."

"You want to learn this kind of thing?" Olga looked at Ling strangely. Although she still didn't know Ling's true strength, he had repeatedly emphasized that he was an ordinary person, and the test report from Chaldea also concluded that Ling's ability was not outstanding, so she had this question.

“If I could, I would certainly like to learn, but the Nanaya family has already withdrawn from the exorcism industry and has been wiped out by the Tohno family and other branches of the family with the power of the [demon]. The remaining Nanaya Shiki was adopted by Tohno Shinji, renamed Tohno Shiki, and his memories were sealed. Well, even if his memories were unlocked, I still wouldn't be able to get the complete Nanaya Assassination Technique from him, because he only learned the basics.” Ling sighed with regret.

"Is the Tono family that strong?" Orange asked curiously.

"The strong one is not the Tono family, but the Red Demon God, Kazuma Kurenai."

"And who is that?" Orange frowned; she had never heard this name before.

"The Yama family is a branch of the Tohno family, and for generations they have intermarried with beings possessing 'demon' blood. Their 'demon blood' is even purer than the Tohno family's. Back then, Yama Kurenai was used as a trump card to kill the entire Shichiya family, but in the end, Shichiya Shiki was spared, just as Shiki's father, Shichiya Kori, spared his life."

"Very strong, but just how strong?"

“I don’t know.” Ling spread her hands. “It’s unclear whether he exists in this world line, and his strength is different in different world lines. You know, in world lines with Heroic Spirits, the power of [non-humans] is relatively weak, while in world lines without Heroic Spirits, the power of [non-humans] is ridiculously strong.”

Chapter 405 Self-esteem and Stubbornness (Part 1)

"Just how strong is he at his peak?"

"...Oh dear, that's a difficult question to answer. I only know the power of his attack in the dream, after all, that guy has been hiding in the deep mountains to cultivate, and it's rumored that he has already achieved the body of an immortal."

"That's too vague. You really don't know?" Orange looked at Ling with a suspicious gaze, seemingly not quite believing her.

"I only know what I know. And I think it's completely irrelevant!" Ling replied unhappily. If he could, he would have wanted to know everything about the Moon World, but obviously that was impossible, because before he was reincarnated, Mushroom and the others were still constantly adding to the world view.

"I'm very curious about his body, and I'd like to see if I can find him, so I want to have a general understanding of his abilities." Orange's words were a bit willful, and this was the first time Ling had ever seen her make such a request.

“Okay, I’ll tell you everything, but you have to promise me that you absolutely cannot go to him before you are fully prepared.” Ling seemed to have seen through Chengzi’s plan, so she gave him this advice.

"Kid, we don't know each other well. Can you please not make such a big reaction to what I want to do?" Orange sighed for the umpteenth time. Although Ling said he wanted to treat her like a stranger, his actions showed no sign of that.

In fact, after learning that Beo was about to leave her, she had planned to make a new guardian beast. The bloodline of the [Demon] was a good material, so she wanted to find a suitable one through Ling's information. After all, the designated executor of the seal could come to kill her at any time, and she wanted to make that thing before Beo left.

"Kuroma is a hybrid with crushing arms and unparalleled strength. His true form is a descendant of the Oni race, which declined along with the development of civilization and is now an extinct species. He annihilates enemies with the grip strength to crush trees, his innate agility, and the special abilities of an Oni. He symbolizes the scorching and burning Oni race, but he himself is a calm, ascetic-like figure who seeks enlightenment to find the meaning of his own nature. By the way, I suspect that his Oni blood comes from Ibaraki-dōji, so if possible, you'd better find an Oni-specific weapon like Onikiri or Dōji-giri before looking for him. As a possessor of Oni blood, he will still be inherently countered by these swords."

“Those historical artifacts aren’t something you can just get your hands on easily,” Orange wanted to say something more, but seeing the worry in Ling’s eyes, she held back. “Bring out the self-compulsion certificate, then I’ll check the terms, and after you sign it, you can leave.”

Orange avoided Ling's gaze and spoke in a very calm tone.

Ling looked at the maid again. The maid took out a roll of parchment from her sleeve. The terms on it had been prepared beforehand. She handed the roll of self-compulsion certificate to Aozaki Touko. Touko carefully read the terms and signed her name after confirming that there were no problems.

"Your turn next, Ilya." Ling gently patted Ilya's head and handed her the pen. "Can you write your own name?"

"Yes!" Ilya nodded seriously. In fact, for androids like her, the necessary knowledge is instilled shortly after birth, so reading and writing are no problem for Ilya.

After saying that, she took the pen without even looking at it and signed the self-mandated certificate that saved her life.

“In that case, my promise is fulfilled.” Ling put away the document and stood up. He knew it was time for them to leave, but he had one more thing to say before they left.

"Miss Orange, I hope to get an answer about the person I asked you to kill for me when we meet next time." Ling picked up Ilya, then pulled Olga along, looking at Orange with a serious expression.

"May I ask why you killed that person? Because I see that you don't seem to care much about anything." Orange didn't stand up to see him off, and Beo didn't seem to care about leaving with Ling either. After all, Orange would be going back to find him later, so Beo wasn't in a hurry.

"The reason is that that person was the murderer who killed me. I think that reason is enough." After saying this, Ling left with her maids.

Orange looked at Ling's retreating figure and said in a clear voice, "If you tell me the real reason next time, I will tell you how to kill Araya."

Ling paused at the doorway before continuing to walk outside.

The group left the Hall of Garan in silence. After sensing that Ling and the others had completely disappeared, Beo let out a soft chuckle, "Orange, your heart is so confused~"

"Why are you meddling? And aren't you going with your new owner?" Orange glared at the ungrateful wretch. "Now you're happy? Your new owner's looks are a perfect match for you. If you go with him, you won't have to worry about not getting attention. It'll be even easier to freeload off people in the shopping district, won't it?"
