Chapter 351: The Slandered Natsuki Minamiya (2/5)
🕑 Added 2025-08-09 09:17:58 +0000 UTCAfter buying some daily necessities, Blake went home. Nothing else happened this time.
But that made sense. Even Itogami Island probably had all sorts of things happening at night. At high noon, such harassment incidents as before were still rare. It could only be said that the loli was too cute.
"Kanna, I'm back." After casually swiping his card to enter, Blake said.
However, the scene before his eyes when he entered made him slightly??.
Dripping wet, dazzling golden hair draped over her back and snow-white shoulders, Aurora, wearing only a pure white bath towel, stood openly in the hall. Kanna followed behind her.
"Blake, you're back. I want ice cream." While Blake was??, Kanna walked over with cheerful steps, tugged at the corner of Blake's clothes, and urged him.
"Uh, yeah." Hearing this, Blake couldn't help but snap back to his senses. He??? patted Kanna's head and took out ice cream from his dimensional ring, handing it to her.
"Blake, thank you for your care." At this moment, Aurora also walked over slowly, speaking with a hint of intimacy. At the same time, a blush appeared on her fairy-like beautiful face.
During these days, although she was repairing her body and seemingly unconscious, she could actually clearly sense the changes around her. Blake's meticulous care really warmed her heart.
At the same time, due to the blood-drinking incident, she felt an irresistible urge to be close to Blake, an emotion she didn't dislike.
The most important point was Blake's confession to her in the ruins, which had truly made her heart flutter.
"Aurora, you're finally awake." Hearing this, Blake nodded in satisfaction. Although a sleeping beauty was captivating, this lively and spirited appearance was even better.
"By the way, just call me Blake. 'Blake' sounds a bit distant," Blake said with a calm and happy expression, gently stroking Aurora's golden hair, enjoying the incredibly smooth feeling.
"Blake, I understand." Hearing this, Aurora's eyes flickered slightly, and then she obediently nodded, not resisting Blake's intimate behavior.
"Here, try this. It tastes good." Then, Blake took out another ice cream from his dimensional ring, waved it in front of Aurora, and smiled as he fed her.
"Mmm." Aurora tilted her head slightly, glanced at Kanna who was happily eating ice cream, and then took it.
The relationship between the few of them didn't have the awkwardness of a sudden meeting as imagined, but rather a natural feeling that made one feel extremely comfortable.
Aurora's awakening made Blake feel extremely happy, and they chatted about many things.
Not long after, the Akatsuki family next door also finished their errands and discovered Aurora's awakening when they came to visit Blake's house.
Then, at Shizuka Akatsuki's suggestion, they decided to hold a banquet tonight.
Blake didn't object to this.
In the Akatsuki's house, a lively banquet was underway.
The summer forest.
The burning bonfire illuminated the shrine grounds in the deep night. Soft moonlight shone into the main hall. The biting cold air even made one forget the concept of seasons, perhaps due to the influence of the barrier surrounding the shrine!
The usually noisy sounds of insects were now almost inaudible.
A girl sat silently in the center of the empty main hall.
Although still bearing a childish air, she had a beautiful face.
Her slender and frail figure did not give a sense of tragic beauty, but rather conveyed a resilience like a well-honed blade. Perhaps it was the firm set of her lips and the strong light dwelling in her eyes that evoked this impression!
The girl wore the uniform of a certain private middle school in Kansai.
The school was a prestigious Shinto institution, yet few knew that it was actually a subordinate organization of the Lion King Agency.
There were already three early visitors in the main hall.
The bamboo blinds obscured their forms, but the girl already knew their true identities.
They were the Lion King Elders, known as the 'Three Saints'.
Each of them was a top-ranking spiritualist or magician, yet the quiet aura surrounding them conveyed almost no sense of pressure. Perhaps this was what made them even more terrifying?
The girl remained silent, and then,
"State your name!"
A voice came from behind the bamboo blinds. The tone was serious but not cold, a female voice younger than expected.
"Hinata."
Hearing this, the girl remained composed and replied with utmost calm.
"Hmm, a good answer, full of spirit. As the strongest of the younger generation in the Lion King Agency, I believe you are aware of the matter concerning the twelfth vessel of the Fourth Progenitor."
"I am aware. The twelfth vessel, which was supposed to be excavated by the Akatsuki group, was snatched away by a strangely appearing silver-haired brother and sister.
Moreover, the Black Death Emperor Sect was also involved in that incident," the girl said indifferently, showing no nervousness despite facing the three strongest figures of the Lion King Agency.
"Not bad. However, your understanding is not comprehensive. To be precise, it was the Death Emperor's younger brother who attacked the Akatsuki group. The silver-haired brother and sister who suddenly appeared saved them. Of course, their aim was still the twelfth vessel. It is only now, due to the Void Witch, Natsuki Minamiya, that we have learned some information about that brother and sister."
"The Death Emperor's younger brother possesses the ability to transform into a divine beast. However, this divine beast transformation, which could easily break through the familiars of old-generation vampires, was instantly killed by the silver-haired boy. Most importantly, we have been unable to obtain any information about this brother and sister through any means," an old voice came from behind the bamboo blinds, speaking solemnly.
"Do the adults think he is very dangerous?" Hearing this, Hinata's eyes flickered slightly, and she said calmly.
"Indeed. Such an unstable and mysterious existence wielding immense power greatly affects the balance of the world. Not to mention, he also possesses the twelfth vessel, a crucial key." The voice changed again, a male voice quickly stating the key points.
"Most importantly, there is Natsuki Minamiya's intention. Natsuki Minamiya seems to be related to this person, concealing his information in every way, and even recently took him to Itogami Island. It seems she has an ulterior motive."
"...." Hearing this, Hinata, the future head of the Three Saints, fell silent, seemingly lost in thought.
Of course, if Natsuki Minamiya heard these words, she would definitely roar without regard for her image. This was blatant slander.
She was just trying to prevent Blake from causing trouble, when did she get involved with him! She was clearly the one who wanted to hang this guy up and beat him!
