Chapter Twenty-Nine: Miss Alice of the House of Everything
In the blink of an eye, there was an additional figure behind me, and I hurriedly turned around, only to see a tall figure in a blue robe and long skirt, long green hair flying in the wind, and then take a closer look at it with a little reflection, this is a beautiful woman, with a strange look that seems serious but slightly frivolous.

"You are the one who rescued Wei Lingxiang the night before?" I asked with a forced composure.
"Reika Konoe? Oh...... It's the little girl Noma paid attention to, no, I don't know her, I haven't saved anyone, I'm just interested in you. β
Noma, is it the mysterious person who rescued Wei Lingxiang and left me a message of my heart?
"Who are you?" I asked a question that anyone would be good at asking.
"I'm a succubus."
ββ¦β¦ Who? β
"......," she blinked, "it seems that you are not from the land of Europa, and you have never heard of the famous succubus god." β
"......," I lowered my guard slightly, "are you a magician?" β
"I'm a succubus!"
Is this guy intentionally trying to make people guess riddles? "So succubus isn't your name!"
"yes."
"Identity, too?"
"yes, you finally got it."
"Do I need to know you?" I continued.
"No, of course not, if you're just a normal person...... But you're obviously a white man, and you also have a good cultivation realm, and you have a strong will for the gods, so it's impossible for a person like you to be unknown, but I've only heard of you for the first time since Noma, and Noma, who has never been afraid of things, feels jealous of you. β
"Noma, is it the one who rescued Wei Lingxiang?"
"Probably, right? I've received many named believers or pure disciples, and Noma is one of the best, but well, including him, they all have a lot of persistent thoughts that need to be fulfilled in social activities, so I don't know what my disciples are thinking and doing. β
"But you seem to know the relationship between Noma and the Konoe family, and you also know my whereabouts."
"Relationship with the Konoe family? I don't know, you know, people like us never lie, if you have a grudge and want to settle it with my apprentice, I won't interfere, but before that, my curiosity will not fade so easily. β
"So you're investigating me and stalking me? Was the little demon you arranged to wait for me near the Daigo Dojo? β
"That's right, you're too good at stealth, and I don't have time to find or follow you, so after getting some information from Noma, I decided to send a little demon who is good at hiding and even better at escaping to wait and lead you to me."
"I was led to this place, wait!" I noticed something was not quite right, "Since you think I'm good at hiding, how did the little demon who brought me find out about me?" At that time, I was quite careful to restrain myself from being discovered. β
"So, I let it make a little noise every now and then, and if it senses the slightest possibility that someone is hiding nearby, it will follow the instructions to lure people hiding in the shadows to this place."
"My luck is a bit bad to say this, it was only the first time that I tentatively let Apricot find a little shadow of it, and let me chase it out regardless of it."
"Hey, hey."
"Well, so why didn't you show up before? Do you have to let me be harassed by the male practitioners of the custom street? β
"I want to see how you handle it, that guy is actually really professional, I appreciate him."
...... "I think it's more likely that she wants to see how I killed or mutilated people, otherwise I would have happened to come to the Konoe family's territory."
"You really don't know anyone from the Konoe family?"
"Well, of course I didn't know anyone from the Konoe family back then, but now, they don't know me." β
The implication is that the succubi know them, I thought, and then said, "What can you tell me?" β
"What can I tell you?" She glanced at me and said, "Do you think I'm here to ask you for something?" Need to exchange with you with conditions? β
"That's?" I tried to pretend to be stupid, but my careful thinking probably didn't work in front of this obviously inscrutable succubus lady.
"You should come up with some reason," she said, with an inexplicable smile on her hands over her chest, "let me dispel the idea of bringing you back." β
"What?" I was stunned for a moment, "Where are you going to take me back?" β
"Of course it's my place, it's from here...... Probably a few thousand miles away, right? I don't come to Japan very often, and if Noma hadn't asked me about a mysterious person like you, I wouldn't have had that much leisure to travel abroad. β
I pouted, "So why did you bring me back...... I still have a lot of things to do, and I don't have that much time for you to take back. β
"Well, so, you've got to give me a reason."
I thought about it, I couldn't possibly beat her at my own expense, and I didn't even have much hope of escaping - when I faced Konoe Reika before, I thought that there were few cultivators in the outside world, and when I turned around, such a very big guy was brought out, so I could only correct my mentality, "There is a reason why you plan to bring me back, whether you are curious about my origins, and hope to get something from me, Miss Succubus, you have to show me a direction before I know what kind of reason to come up with." β
"That's good," she said, looking up at the stars and thinking, "but when you say that, I wonder all the more about you, what is there about you that I should remember?" Well--I'm not going to give you an idea in vain, and if there's something I'm interested in--it's probably not much--I'll trade it for you for a fair amount of money, how about it? I'm a man who always speaks well in front of my juniors. Ah, but before that, tell me, mysterious little girl, where do you come from and what do you want? β
"......," I thought for a moment and decided to complain first, "Your tone is more like that human trafficker than that male oiran." β
"Hmm-"
"Well, I'm from a rural area that most people wouldn't be interested in, where there is no industry, agriculture is not very developed, commercial exchanges are almost primitive, and the population is less than one-tenth of that of a small ward in Tokyo......"
"Okay......" she waved her hand to signal that I didn't need to continue, "no more, it's almost all clichΓ©s and nonsense, so be it," she touched the red and white orb on her hand, isn't that yin and yang jade? I was startled and noticed that the yin-yang jade hanging from my waist was missing, "This is a good baby, you say a meaningful message, I will return it to you, anyway, this thing has no meaning to me." β
What a domineering person, I secretly paid, "Why don't you take the royal coins too?" β
"I'm ashamed to use toys to blackmail people."
"Well," I said, Sister Purple wouldn't care anyway, "I'm from an out-of-this-world land shrouded in enchantments, where there's little communication with the outside world. β
"I see, okay, I'll give it back to you," she threw the Yin-Yang Jade over, "I've seen a lot of hidden places like this, and there's probably nothing worth paying attention to," Miss Succubus pursed her bright red lips and started to think about something else, "I don't think you have any other good things on you, don't think about exchanging or anything." In this way, I would like to ask you one thing, not at all embarrassing, as long as you pay attention occasionally, or even do not need to pay attention. β
"Huh?" Is that what she's really for? Give me an inexplicable commission?
