Survival: King Picking Game

There's something I've always wanted to know.

The silver-haired girl said so.

But what she needs is not the truth of "this matter", but...

"I want to formally join Li Pingan's sect and become his disciple."

"... Li Jun?"

Jinguji Iris nodded thoughtfully.

"... But, according to my observation, he doesn't seem to be a man worth entrusting for life..."

"So no!"

Jinguji Jiu Huicheng stared at her angrily.

...It might as well be, it should be the other way around.

It is precisely because I know what kind of person the other party is that I can...

"……Really."

Jinguji Iris smiled, and his expression suddenly became a little mysterious.

"However, Jiu-chan. Many things may not go as you wish. My personal suggestion is that it's better to leave early."

Although Jinguji Iris did not know what happened between her niece and Li Pingan, her observation ability was sharper than that of young girls.

Of course, Jinguji Jiuhuicheng is a very smart girl, but there is still a certain gap between Jinguji Iris, who has been the head of the countermeasure room for so many years, in terms of experience and experience.

——From the very beginning, she vaguely guessed that Li Pingan was not an ordinary wandering demon exorcist as he introduced himself, and she had already become wary of him.

...But as the head of the countermeasure room, when making decisions, you can't just consider your own emotional tendencies.

The strength shown by the other party made her realize that the joining of Li Ping'an has a role in the status of the countermeasure room in the magic world and the supernatural security of the entire Tokyo city.

Even if there is a concession, it is the same.

...So, a certain poor heir of the Fangang family was regarded as a "victim" of retreat.

Although I know that there are nine out of ten reasons for it, it's just an ordinary trade-off of interests.

……in addition.

The other party's chaotic female social circle also gave her some headaches.

Not only Yuki Mari who arrived at the same time as him, but also Isayama Koizumi, who was originally the ace of the countermeasure room, and the next generation head of the Tumiya family...

Except for Isayama Mei, the other girls seem to be unreliable.

What surprised her even more was that the secretary she had always trusted, Tomoharu Koba, seemed to have a close relationship with her that she didn't know about...

...So, even when Jinguji Iris discovered that his niece seemed to have established some kind of connection with the other party, he was not surprised, mainly because he had expected it.

When she sent Li Pingan to pick up the plane, she should have expected it...!

After all, if the relationship between "teacher and student" can become a little hindrance instead of the driving force of the man's actions, he would be considered lucky.

……

"……no."

After thinking about it for a while, the silver-haired girl didn't have the courage to simply leave.

In this regard, Jinguji Iris could only sigh softly, and stopped talking about this topic.

"……what are you saying?"

When Tumiya Gagaku frowned, there was a kind of demeanor without anger.

A man who has killed countless monsters, and now the leader of the exorcist world, just sitting there has a sense of oppression like a mountain.

"Did I make it clear?"

Li Pingan still looked like he didn't care, and spread his hands and said.

——"Dissolve my engagement with Kagura, Mr. Tumiya."

……

Li Pingan and Tugong Yale sat opposite each other across a small table.

No one spoke first, breaking the silence.

Whether it's Li Ping'an's smiling expression or Tumiya Gagaku's serious and rigid expression, it's impossible to tell what the two of them are thinking at the moment.

... Therefore, the atmosphere is also extremely dignified.

The one sitting a little further away is Tumiya Kagura.

Wearing the family's traditional attire, the girl with short black hair sat with her head down and said nothing.

...Moreover, the girl's body was still trembling slightly, as if she was afraid of the situation in front of her eyes...like a cowering little rabbit.

And Tumiya Kagura was crying incessantly in his heart at the moment.
