Chapter 204: Negotiation Failed
The confident Equatorial nodded vigorously.
"It's simple, isn't it? I'm sure it's not a problem for you, I think I'm kind enough. β
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, you have a lot of questions for this request, huh? And even if you talk like you're going to win, you're still defeated by the big demon fox in the past, aren't you? Where do you get your confidence?"
Equatorial Zhai looked at Keita who retorted with an expressionless face.
"Keita Kawahira, do you mean that once you lose to someone, you never have a chance to beat him again? Should a loser fail for life because of a single failure, completely irreversible?"
"No, I didn't say that......"
"I tried to calculate from various angles, looking back on the history of the enemy of the Great Demon Fox, and after accurate research and continuous study, I finally got the empirical proof - I can defeat the Great Demon Fox, and it is foolproof."
Keita was silent and turned his head to the side unhappily. While the head of the house and Kawadaira Sogo were whispering something, Kaoru, who had been silent, stepped forward and asked Equatorial Zhai in a steady tone: "Equatorial Zhai, let's give in and assume that you can defeat the Great Demon Fox." β
Kaoru Kaoru Kawagaira...... And then what?"
"We don't have any conclusive evidence that you will definitely keep the agreement. Purely in terms of possibility, you may also join forces with the Great Demon Fox against us. Don't you think that our relationship of trust is too unclear at the time of negotiations?"
Equatorial Zhai was silent for a while, and then opened his mouth to answer this question:
"Kaoru Kawahira, maybe you don't know, for the Magister, the contract is a kind of agreement that is both sacred and absolutely authoritative, so I will never take the initiative to betray it, you just have to rest assured."
Kaoru Wuyan took Equatorial Zhai's gaze and looked away from her eyes slightly. Although he didn't notice it, Keita stared intently at Kaoru's side face.
"Hmm~~ I decided to accept your proposal!"
The head of the house suddenly screamed a little self-defeatingly. Keita and Kaoru both had surprised expressions.
"Are you serious?"
"Grandma, is that true?"
The head shrugged: "Although I really want to say that...... Equatorial Zhai, I'm very serious! But it's a pity that the enchantment that seals the Great Demon Fox is not so easy, and if you say it's unraveled, you can unlock it, and if you say it's sealed, you can seal it. That enchantment coexisted with the Great Elder of the Dog God, so unless the Great Demon Fox broke through the seal from within, or the Great Elder enjoyed his entire life, it was impossible for the enchantment to disappear. β
"I see."
Compared to before, Equatorial Zhai simply nodded.
"That means the negotiation has failed."
"Hmm."
"I'm sorry to bother you, but please do your best to get through a life full of hardships."
The image of Equatorial Zhai began to shake. And was about to cover his face with a cloak, but the master hurriedly stopped him: "Ah~~ Wait a minute, wait a minute!" You've failed to negotiate with us, so what's next?"
In the last moment, a smile appeared on Equatorial Zhai's faceβit was an evil laugh.
"Of course, it's to make this place my color, without missing a beat, and completely ......"
After finishing speaking, Equatorial Zhai's figure also disappeared completely from this space.
Everyone in the Kawasei family looked at each other with a puzzled face.
"That's why please help me contact others and ask them to be vigilant."
After Equatorial Zhai's unilateral declaration, the whole house became noisy and panicked. Sogo Kawahira left the house quickly, and the head of the house used the mobile phone to notify the other owners of the dog god. Detailed instructions will be given to respond to the situation.
The entire city of Tokyo must be put on alert. However, the Secret Spirit's investigator has not been contacted. Kana Shiro, who is known as an expert in dealing with Equatorial Sai.
On the other hand, Keita, who remained at the scene, opened his voice and made a loud noise.
Although the wooden carved chicken changed the costumes of everyone present back to their original state one by one, for some reason, it was only Keita's turn. It tilted its head to the side, refusing to change his clothes back to their original shape.
"Hey! Didn't you just promise to turn me back to my original state! Damn fellow, be careful that I make you a roast chicken!"
Even though Keita grabbed the carved wooden chicken's body and shook violently, it still closed its eyes. Desperately shaking his head in refusal. Seeing Keita's anxious and angry actions, Yoko laughed on the sidelines, and the others watched with interest as they watched the confrontation between one man and one chicken.
In the midst of this group. Yang Xi and Kaoru didn't make any footsteps, and no one noticed that they had quietly left the room.
In fact, Kaoru Kawahira had a brief meeting with Kaita Kawahira when he left, Keita saw that Kaoru and Yang Xi both got up and left the room, and they were about to call them, but the woodcarved chicken tried to break free of his hands again, causing him to concentrate on chasing the woodcarved chicken.
Kaoru Kawahira's lips welled into a smile as she slowly walked down the hallway.
He walked down the hallway with cat-like steps, and the smile on his lips had changed to a smile that was extremely rare, and he looked a little cold and merciless.
"He can't have found out, right?"
Kaoru seemed to be talking to herself, as if asking Yang Xi on the side.
When Equatorial Zhai almost uttered superfluous words, Keita may have just seen him subconsciously reach out and pick up the silver baton.
"Perhaps, he was a man who couldn't tell whether his personality was sharp or dull......"
Yang Xi replied softly, then walked out of the hallway, put on his shoes and came outside the house. It's like the winter air, though it's as cold as ice, but they don't care about it at all.
After walking a short distance on the silent gravel road, I went around to the front of the warehouse, opened the wooden door, and closed it immediately.
The moonlight filtered in through the skylight, and the upright face was stained with a pale glow. After he made sure that there was no one aroundβ
"I said Equatorial Zhai, you couldn't have done that just now, did you?"
He took out a smoke bomb from his pocket and threw it on the ground, and a puff of white smoke immediately rose up, forming an image with a level of clarity that could not be compared to Fang Cai's ability to absorb the moonlight. This image is the figure of Equatorial Zhai wearing a robe, with a slightly curved back, and the appearance of the Grim Reaper.
"Kaoru Kawahira, Yang Xi, do you have something to do with me? I think this is a prop that was given to you for emergency contact, right?"
Equatorial Zhai spoke at the other end of the shaking black and white smoke, and Kaoru Kawahira grinned like a feline: "Don't. Open. Play. Laugh. Finish. β
"Huh?"
Equatorial Zhai tilted his head sideways with an incredulous expression:
"You don't seem to be happy? What's wrong?"
"What's wrong with me, you ask?"
Kaoru Kawahira gritted his teeth and asked back, it was a tone that he had never seen anyone else before, mixed with strong anger.
"Equatorial Zhai, you dare to ask me what's wrong. What do you mean by that farce you just staged? Just as I respect your position, I hope you respect my position. β
"It seems that you and I have misunderstood."
Equatorial Zhai's answer was without a trace of emotion:
"Are you unhappy that I made contact with the Kabunei family without your consent? Kaoru Kaoru Kawahira, have you misunderstood our relationship? Is that right? The master of the dog god with the knowledge of magic, the owner of the dog god with no name and no surname......"
Equatorial Zhai smiled, and Kaoru couldn't help but raise one-sided eyebrows at his other meaning. Equatorial Zhai continued in an evil tone:
'Right?' Sons of Despair'. β
Hearing him call out the name, Kaoru who was standing in the moonlight gasped. Equatorial Zhai casually showed an easy-to-use attitude and continued.
"You know, we are not cultivating any feelings, and we are not good children. I'm sure you feel the same way I do, aren't you, 'Son of Despair', and you'll try to defeat me if you have the chance, right? And you, the most mysterious dog god envoy Yang Xi, although I don't know what your purpose is to help me, but you are only using me from beginning to end, right? β
"Wait, wait."
"Don't rush to explain, I'm not saying that you shouldn't be so calculated, after all, our relationship is just to take advantage of each other. Kaoru Kawahira, give me the 'Evil Star' technique you have, and I'll help you break the curse on your body. That's all there is to our relationship, so you, who have been raised as Magisters since childhood, should know that we don't need to work together any more deeply......"
"Equatorial Zhai!" Kaoru first yelled, then adjusted his chaotic breathing, and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Is it ......?"
"Yes, not completely, but I've cracked the curse of the 'Evil Star' to the point where I can know who you really are."
Kaoru clenched his fists hard, closed his eyes with emotion, bit his lip, and trembled all over.
"In a little while, I'll be able to tell you everything about you. In this way, you don't have to hurt the people you value, which is really gratifying. β
Kaoru, whose expression on her face was affected by emotion, opened her eyes and looked at Equatorial Zhai:
"Equatorial Zhai, please forgive me for my rudeness just now, you are indeed a real genius."
Equatorial Zhai's expression did not change at all, and after a while, he slowly spoke:
"Kaoru Kawahira, I'm a Magister."
Then he smiled.
"Magisters never break contracts, it's that simple."
Kaoru barely squeezed out a smile, and Equatorial Zhai continued to say lightly:
"Kaoru Kawahira, I've really worked hard for you, I don't think your actions are simple. Carrying such a burden on his shoulders as a young man, he returned to the Kaheira family from overseas, and without telling anyone or relying on anyone's help, he found the magic prop and found me. β
Kaoru could only shake her head.
"I don't know how nice it would be if you weren't an enemy."
"Why are you so obsessed with that strange purpose? It doesn't matter if there isn't a perverted paradise, right? If you're willing to limit your activity to studying magic, then I'm more than happy to do my part to keep you safe. β
"Kaoru Kaoru Kawahira-"
Equatorial Zhai was still expressionless.
"As I said, you were educated by the 'evil star' when you were a child, right? That's what the Magisters are...... And the perverted paradise is not what I am after. β
"......" (To be continued......)
