"Well, it's really a very memorable day, how can I miss it? Right!"
With this in mind, Rimuru, who had already returned to Academy City for almost noon, started to wander around the city early without even calling Taki and Aleister for the first time—until Aleigh Star called.
"Looks like your vacation is over."
Aleister said faintly, the cooperation has been more than five years, and he more or less knows the efficiency of Limuru's work. It will not take him nearly a month to investigate a certain person or a certain group.
Obviously, the other party spent at least half of the time outside inking.
"Why, do you plan to come back and continue your vacation?"
"Well, I just don't want to see your upside-down face and Yubia Danxi's tugging expression for the first time." Hearing this, Limulu opened a bottle of coffee with a light smile and drank it in one go After the light, he couldn't help muttering: "Japan is really a magical country where everything can be put in cans."
"...Haven't you ever drank canned coffee abroad?" Aleister replied with a half-smile, and then said lightly, "Where are the information?"
"Tsk, there is coffee, but there are canned oden, canned tomato juice, etc..." Limulu looked at the various drinks in the vending machine, and couldn't help but shudder——
"Speaking of which, Aleister, although I am not a famous magician, I still want to ask, in your eyes, how is my strength?!"
Limulu didn't respond to the other party immediately, he was waiting for the plot to happen anyway, and he was happy to have someone to chat with him for a while.
"Oh? What do you want to say?"
"The person you asked me to investigate, didn't you ever think that I couldn't beat him?"
Hearing the other party's question, Li Mulu showed a smile that was not a smile and said: "If a human trafficker hadn't helped me out in time, I might have died in the other party's hands. In this case, you really wouldn't Do you have a headache?"
"Or, are you planning to use his hand to kill me?"
"...how could it be? I'm just not sure." Aleister was silent for a while after hearing the words, and said lightly: "But since you said so, then I'm sure."
"Didn't you come back alive? I have always believed so."
"Tsk, that sounds really nice." Limuru curled his lips: "But, why did you ask me to investigate him? Aleister."
"Orells... that's not something that the current Academy City... can provoke."
Chapter 023, Shirai Kuroko's Request
After all, Limulu still couldn't ask Aleister's purpose of investigating a top magician, just like Aleister kept silent about why Limulu knew about Orrells.
Limulu was holding a can of coffee and talking to himself. Suddenly, a voice came from behind him: "Oh, classmate... can you let me go?"
In just a split second, Limulu felt his hairs stand on end, and the intense sense of crisis from his heart triggered an instinct he hadn't experienced for a long time, boom!
The invisible water burst out instantly, and Limulu restrained her subconscious ability to manually use it in time, and then frowned and looked back.
I saw the young man named Kamijou Touma, with a dazed face and a drenched body, made a gesture of extending his right hand. It seemed that he wanted to pat Rimuru's shoulder just now.
"Unlucky..." He sighed, but as if he was used to this form, he rolled his dead fish eyes: "I just want to use the vending machine behind you..."
"...I don't really like someone suddenly touching me from behind." Limulu twitched the corner of his mouth, knowing that he had overreacted.
However, for the Phantom Killer, he really needs to take the necessary precautions... After all, his current state is actually no different from those demon gods who deliberately disguised and sneaked in. The Phantom Killer's essence is pure magic, so he will not welcome them .
But... He really didn't expect that The Phantom Killer would give him such a sense of crisis. Why... Is it because... he belongs to the fantasy species?
Rimuru pondered for a while, silently glanced at Kamijou Touma who was helplessly propping up his wet collar with his hands, and had already walked to the vending machine and took out a bottle of drink. No, let me do it for you."
Otherwise, when you get electrocuted later, if you overturn your car because of an electric shock... I will feel guilty.
Rimuru ignored Kamijou Touma's daze, and directly bypassed the opponent's right hand, and casually drove the moisture on the opponent's body surface. After flicking his little hand, Kamijou Touma felt that the moisture on the body surface was suddenly sucked away. , became extremely dry.
"Uh... superpowers are really convenient..." He stared blankly at this scene, but Limuru frowned and looked at his still wet arm. After trying to cast a spell again, he was still caught The invisible power is generally negated, and cannot be shaken by half.
"Ah... don't worry about this..." Kamijou Touma also noticed the other party's expression of competing with his right hand, couldn't help scratching his head, and said helplessly: "I don't know why, any ability will be invalid when it meets my right hand change……"
"Really? It's quite a strange ability." Limulu showed a little surprise appropriately, and after showing off his cuteness with the boy's expression, he planned to turn around and leave here: "Then goodbye, hedgehog head."
He didn't like Kamijou being a mother very much, if only from the first impression.
It's not because of personality or anything else, it's just because as long as he stands next to the other party, he will instinctively feel a palpitation. This feeling is very similar to the first time she encountered Void, but... the power of Void is very important to her. For him, it is beneficial, but the natural corrosiveness and the strength of the power itself make him feel palpitations and shocks, but the phantom killer is different.
He could clearly feel that power... loathing him, wanting... to purify him.
This is blatant hostility, the kind that cannot be reconciled.
The essence of Phantom Killer is the desire of the world, and it is also the original wish of the demons. It is the anchor point produced by this world, and its function is to erase any distortion brought by magic, that is, phase sparks—— At the same time, Shenjing is also a product of the will of the world, just like Alaya is a system born of the will of all human beings, Phantom Killer is also a special product of the forbidden world, it will not disappear, it will always exist above the world.
As long as magic and demon gods exist, they will exist.
But the interesting thing is also here...Because the essence of Shenjing's demon hunting is to eliminate the phase fireworks, and let the world return to the appearance of the anchor point. The presence.
However, it was the wishes of the demon gods themselves...the world represented by the magician's nemesis.
"very funny……"
"But that's not what I care about."
When Kamijou Touma just finished buying the drink, he heard the other party's impolite prickly hair, turning back to refute in dissatisfaction, but found that Rimuru's figure had disappeared. For this reason, he could only sigh unluckily , and then walked unsteadily towards his student apartment.
Limulu stood on the streetlight not far behind him, looked at his back silently, and murmured softly: "What I need to think about now is, can Phantom Killer really be swallowed by me?"
If the Phantom Killer can be controlled, then Limulu doesn't mind taking this big weapon as his own to destroy the magic side, even if the risk of targeting the protagonist is high, but the killing effect of Shenjing Sumo on the magic side is personal. will understand.
"But the side effects of Phantom Killer..."
The scariest thing about The Phantom Killer is that it is an absolute law of the world, and it doesn't have any master or choice.
It is like the law of 1+1=2 on the earth, and it is bound to fall under the blessing of gravity. It is a basic rule that affects everyone.
Kamijou Touma is unable to possess any supernatural power, even his own good luck is completely eliminated due to the interference of fate, and he directly becomes a unlucky child. Who can bear this!
Of course, the absolute ineffectiveness of the Phantom Killer is only a derivative power. Li Huan and Dragon Head may be the real core of the Phantom Killer—but just this superficial power makes Limulu a little uncertain.
"Well, in short, regarding the Phantom Killer... it's better to take it slowly, think about it and observe it more, as for before that..."
Rimuru rolled her eyes and puffed her face in dissatisfaction: "I'd better stay away from Kamijou Touma."
Leaving the question of the Phantom Killer behind for a while, Rimuru saw Kamijou Touma drifting away, and followed him from a distance. He did not forget his purpose today.
He is going to witness the first meeting between Touma Kamijou and Misaka Mikoto.
Hmm... I have to say that in his previous life, Limuru was actually only half of the Shangqin Party, because later he rebelled and became a supporter of Shokuhou Misaki, not because he liked the role of Shokuhou Misaki so much, It's just pure sympathy.
After all, golden retrievers have been defeated since ancient times, Misaka Mikoto has no Kamijou Touma, and there is a Kurokoto party.
Shokuhou Misaki is gone without Kamijou Touma...it really is nothing.
She seems to be called the queen, controlling people's hearts, but in fact, what she has... is only Toma.
What's more, from a theoretical point of view, it is impossible for Kamijou Touma to remember Shokuhou Misaki again, and even the things that can't be changed by Netherland Chasing Souls are almost doomed tragedies.
I have to say here that Limuru's mentality has actually calmed down a lot at this time, or he himself has a family (he is already engaged to Lidale), and after being cared about by several other girls, he clearly understands Limulu, who knew their feelings well, never thought of letting them down, so Limulu actually looked at the world with a third-party sense from her previous life at this time.
He likes Misaka Mikoto very much, but he knows that this feeling comes from his understanding of her and shaping his energy, just like falling in love with a pair of CPs or a female star because of watching TV dramas and variety shows, when they also When he has found his own life and is determined to go on with it, he will not be angry, jealous, or even do something about it.
Hmm... For example, Yui Aragaki got married... You can't really live without life, can you? !
Cough cough, let’s get back to the point, Rimuru’s attitude towards Misaka Mikoto is somewhat similar to Saber, knowing that Misaka Mikoto will definitely stand on the opposite side as the righteous party in the end, but Rimuru can’t help but think You have to be calm and provoke when you haven't reached that point, but this kind of provocation is definitely not out of emotional liking or possessiveness, but a pure "fan affection".
And this kind of fan feeling... Well, in a sense, it is similar to "I am your fan" in the LOL game, and it is extremely lethal.
Well, the deeper the love, the harder the kick!
When Rimuru saw Misaka Mikoto surrounded by gangsters, and Kamijou Touma who stepped forward and grabbed Misaka Mikoto's wrist without hesitation to save her, Rimuru was immediately satisfied. The check-in task in this world Completion also means...
"The game... has finally... begun."
Kamijou Touma started to flee, Misaka Mikoto wanted to knock him down, and challenged him, he ran past Rimuru in a panic, Misaka Mikoto quickly passed him by manipulating the magnetic force.
But at that moment, Misaka Mikoto paused, she turned her head in doubt, and took a deep look at Rimuru.
The latter pretended to be watching a play as if nothing had happened, and lowered his head slightly.
Strange... I always feel like I've seen the other person somewhere... Misaka Mikoto held this doubtful feeling, but after searching all over the memory, she couldn't find the other person for a moment, and soon, she passed Rimuru and locked her eyes again Kamijou Touma, who was running in front, ignited his fighting spirit: "Don't run, you bastard!"
The other party recognized me?I think should not be.
Rimuru raised her head with a light smile, lowered her eyes and planned to go home leisurely.
He and Misaka Mikoto should have met only once during these five years, and that was the time he threatened Aleister with Misaka Mikoto in the research institute.
Three days later, Limuru was outside the window of the laboratory, looking at the honey ant Aiyu whose body was only covered by a few light white uniforms, and the rest of the body was covered with instruments, lightly inspected her hands in the analysis.
Miyi Aiyu's various stats have reached the nominal upper limit of Lv3. Seeing that a breakthrough is imminent, the next training methods, resources, and technical materials are extremely limited for her improvement. It seems that he needs to go a long way. It's time for a talent workshop.
Two hours later, Miyi Aiyu happily ran out of the laboratory covered in sweat, hugged Limulu's arm, and said happily, "Captain! I'm almost up to the standard!" right?"
"Hmm..." Limulu glanced unobtrusively at the white rabbit exposed on the other's chest, and said helplessly, "You should change your clothes before you come out."
"Hey, it doesn't matter if it's the captain." The other party bounced and ran to the changing room. Limulu looked at the information in front of him, and didn't know whether to laugh or have a headache.
With nearly a few months of getting along, Miyi Aiyu, who was needed again, and gained new attention and reliance, can be regarded as showing her supposed character, but the only problem is here.
In the final analysis, what Limulu needs is loyalty. Maybe this loyalty can be added with the word companion, but Limulu doesn't want the other party to be mixed with other feelings, because it is impractical.
Fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls are at the time when their minds are sensitive. Because of this sensitivity, they are prone to depression, loss of self, and feelings.
The other party's original dependent was Kamijou Touma, so he would like Kamijou Touma, but now that the dependent has become himself, Rimuru can clearly feel the girl's emotional changes towards him.
This is not a good thing.
Misaka Mikoto doesn't even want to have sex, let alone Mitsu Ayu, who is only biased towards ordinary girls in character.
"Ding." There was a voice of acceptance from Anbu's unique mobile phone. Limuru took it out and glanced at it. It turned out to be a number that he had never seen before.
"Hey?"
"Hello, Mr. Ape."
"Tsk, please don't use this name to describe me, because soon you will find that there is always someone more suitable for it than me." The unique voice line almost made Limulu recognize who the other party's voice was: "Student Shirai, What, are you planning to cooperate with me?"
"No, I'm looking for you this time because I have other things to ask for your help." At this moment, Shirai Heizi, who was alone in the dormitory on the other side, was squinting and hugging her demon bear with a dark belly, his eyes flickering with sly eyes.
"Oh?" Limulu looked at the date and time lightly: "At this time, if I remember correctly, you should have just started school for about a month... I don't think you need me as an off-campus researcher. ..."
"You want to study my ability, I can help you."
Shirai Heizi's numb voice made Limulu raise his eyebrows. He had to say that the word "aid" made him misunderstand: "Interesting, why don't you tell me what you want me to do for you first."
"I asked my companion to investigate you, but your authority and confidentiality level are quite high, you must not be a simple guy?" Shirai Heizi turned over, lying on the bed with his legs up and shaking: "I think I need to change dormitory."
"……what?"
"I said, I want to change the dormitory. I met a big sister, but the seat next to her that originally belonged to me was taken by other hateful people..."
"Wait." Limulu twitched the corner of his mouth, sighed and said, "So, you found the business card I gave you, dialed my number, and ended up changing your dormitory for me?"
"...you bastard...do you know how many people can't get my number even if they try their best?"
"...I guessed this. After all, even my friends can't crack the encrypted channel of your number... But it's really because of this that I came to you, Mr. Ape." Shirai Heizi squinted his eyes calmly, and said with a smile .
"..."
Chapter 024, First meeting, my name is Shokuhou Misaki
Limuru tilted his head. He felt that Shirai Kuroko should have regarded him as the dean of some research institutes...otherwise the other party would not have paid attention to him.
The middle schools that Shirai Kuroko and Misaka Mikoto attend are both Tokiwadai, and the total number of Tokiwadai is only a few hundred people. Since its establishment, it has been maintained at a scale of three to 400 people. It is a typical elite elite school. This kind of school Students often have a greater right to speak. Of course, the right to speak here does not refer to command and decision-making power, but the ability to make demands.
In fact, even without herself, Shirai Kuroko could rely on herself to change the dormitory, and now she found herself... probably because she didn't want to leave any traces and be known by Misaka Mikoto.
"Well, since you've already called, Shirai-san, you should know how much you have to pay for what you're looking for..."
Thinking of this, Rimuru did not intend to refuse. Tokiwadai Middle School is affiliated with the research forces under Aleister. If it really counts, it has a lot of relationship with Anbe... Even if Rimuru does not rely on Aleister , can change the arrangement of the dormitory by using the influence of the research institute, such as randomly finding an excuse that two people need to live together to test the experiment.
It's just that for Limuru, it is indeed a very simple matter, but it doesn't mean that he won't kill people.
"Oh, didn't I say, I can go to your experimental base once to cooperate with you..."
"Student Bai Jing has a business mind, but do you know that to study a facility, just to confirm the accuracy of the conclusion, several stable tests at different time periods are required?"
"Of course I know... I am also a person with great ability. Every time I measure my ability, I need to confirm it at least twenty times." Shirai Heizi said gracefully, "But it is because of this that I feel that this exchange It's equivalent."
"It is logically so, but Bai Jing, what our laboratory needs is a subject who can cooperate with our research."
After changing her clothes, Miyi Aiyu quietly walked to Limuru's side, smiled obediently, then tilted her ears, and listened seriously.
Limulu leaned against the wall, and said without concealment: "Let's put it this way, although I don't know why you want to change dormitories, there must be reasons worth doing, but for our laboratory, it is obvious that you A single cooperation cannot meet our needs at all, and it can even be said...it has no effect on our research, which becomes unnecessary."
It's like specializing in containerized transportation. A manufacturer who wholesales large quantities of instruments at one time suddenly receives an individual order. Even if the individual order gives a premium, in fact, the additional transportation for this individual is not worth the labor cost at all. of.
"...Huh?" Shirai Heizi, who was lying on the bed and thought he was sure of everything, was slightly taken aback, and sat up with vacant eyes: "But for you, my request should be very simple, right?"
