Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 596 - Chapter 596 Chapter 530 The Legacy of the Cat Fraction_2

Chapter 596: Chapter 530: The Legacy of the Cat Fraction_2 Chapter 596: Chapter 530: The Legacy of the Cat Fraction_2 She reincarnated as a human again, and then we stepped in to help her find that scumbag, which would have been the best outcome, but…

“That’s the best outcome for you, not for her,”

Roger said, “She no longer wants to live.”

“Destroying herself along with that person, that is the best outcome.”

Hearing Roger’s words, Aoki Kazuo shook his head.

“I won’t let this woman leave here.”

“This place is the Deer Horn Area, the territory governed by Aoki Shrine. If she steps out of this area, no matter what happens, I can pretend I didn’t see it.”

“But here.”

Aoki Kazuo’s eyes were resolute, lacking the caution he had when flattering Higurashi Chika during the day.

“No.”

“Even in death, my and her corpses must remain here together.”

Aoki Kazuo’s gaze was calm, yet he seemed nonchalant when talking about life and death.

Roger was slightly moved. Neither Higurashi Chika nor Aoki Kazuo were particularly outstanding in strength among the Transcendents that Roger knew.

But the attitude they demonstrated was indeed impressive.

Ito Rieko was a tragic victim. She once had a bright future, but it all vanished into thin air due to an accident many years ago.

Roger couldn’t imagine what she went through that week, nor what she experienced in the rest of her life.

With a disfigured, even grotesque face, she fell into streetwalking, wracking her brains for a bit of money, while the scum who had hurt her roamed free.

Even in that state, the guile and infection of the Red Prajna had not twisted her will, she clung to her last shred of dignity.

Perhaps the Red Prajna killed her two peers and the middle-aged fat man in front of her to force her to take that step, but the remnant of Ito Rieko’s humanity still prevailed.

But as Higurashi Chika once said, in the face of true evil, so-called humanity is too fragile, too insignificant.

She eventually became the true White Prajna.

Higurashi Chika wanted to help Ito Rieko fulfill her long-cherished wish, but this wish went against the principles of Onmyoji like Aoki Kazuo.

At that moment, a series of rapid footsteps came from outside the factory, probably other Low-Tier Onmyoji from Aoki Shrine arriving nearby.

Ito Rieko was still struggling, but her struggle was meaningless; the light in her eyes was getting weaker, replaced by utter madness.

Without a target for her revenge, Ito Rieko, as the White Prajna, would become a terrifying Slayer, following her instincts to find everyone she deemed related to the incident.

“Hehe.”

A roar burst from his throat, but the Higurashi Chika standing in front of Ito Rieko remained silent.

“The mortal world is for the police, the Everworld is ours,”

Aoki Kazuo said.

“There are too many cases like this.”

He looked at Higurashi Chika, “You’re not in the Shrine system, nor do you belong to any Sword Pavilion.”

Aoki Kazuo smiled helplessly.

“Some things you just get used to.”

“Roar!”

Air surged, and a roar, Ito Rieko, having completed the Transformation, lost her reason and sprang towards the darkness in the distance.

But at that moment, a sharp sword light flashed.

Clang!

Higurashi Chika sheathed her sword, she lowered her head and slowly walked up to Aoki Kazuo. Despite no visible power surge, Aoki Kazuo felt a tremendous pressure.

He opened his mouth wanting to break the tense atmosphere, but then a suffocating voice emerged from beside his ear, “You have a way to find that person, right?”

Aoki Kazuo first froze, but he quickly grasped something.

“What are you going to do…”

An intense aura enveloped Aoki Kazuo, and he swallowed hard, “This is wrong, even for us…”

“That’s my business!”

Higurashi Chika’s fingers on the sword grip turned white from the grip, she didn’t look back but headed towards the exit with her weapon in hand.

“That person cannot live past tonight.”

Several figures flooded into the entrance, and Higurashi Chika suddenly stopped in her tracks, “You’re right, there are too many cases like this, maybe because Ito used to be my senior in school that I knew.”

“Maybe because I haven’t experienced enough.”

“Maybe in the near future, I will become like you.”

Higurashi Chika clenched her weapon.

“But at least now, while my blood is still warm, I can swing the sword in my hand.”

Watching the girl’s somewhat stubborn figure, Roger silently nodded.

Dedication, a code, but with a rare sincerity.

Although there were many immature aspects.

But because of this, she might be the most suitable person to inherit the Hunter Fraction.

Successor of the Cat Fraction.

Roger stroked the stubble on his chin.

What he needed to consider now was how to trick this girl into joining the Demon Hunters…

How could it be called tricking?

Guidance, yes, guidance.

Moving with emotion, convincing with reason.

Well, if all else failed, he might just have to sacrifice himself a bit.

Roger made up his mind.

He had his candidate, now he had to consider the proper issue of inheritance.

His mind was preoccupied, but his feet didn’t stop; he quickly walked up to Higurashi Chika’s side.

“I support your decision, and whatever you do later, you must call me,” he said.

“What else can I do?”

Higurashi Chika looked down, pursing her lips.

“I’ve been fighting all night, and when I get back, I’m going to take a bath and get some rest,” she said.

Uh…

Taking a bath and resting.

That sort of thing didn’t really suit two people doing it together. However, girl, your reply was a bit too perfunctory.

From that conversation earlier, even a fool could guess what you were planning to do next.

After a moment’s thought, Roger decided not to say anything more.

There was something stubbornly endearing about her.

The ride back seemed a bit somber, as Higurashi Chika, who was driving, zoned out several times. Were it not for the wide, empty roads at night, they may have ended up in a ditch numerous times.

When they returned to Higurashi Chika’s courtyard it was already midnight. After getting out of the car, Roger glanced at the girl’s frail silhouette.

“Are you sure you don’t need my help? After all, you were quite injured in the fight just now,” he said.

“I told you, I’m going to take a bath and go to sleep,” she replied.

“You should rest early too,” Higurashi Chika responded indifferently.

Roger was about to say something else when he suddenly felt a chill and turned to look into a spot hidden in the darkness.

There, far from the courtyard, was a fleeting presence that Roger found familiar.

“That’s for the best,” he muttered.

“Good night!”

“Wait a second.”

Higurashi Chika called out to Roger from behind.

Roger turned around, puzzled.

Had she changed her mind?

Or was it…

“I wonder if you’d be willing to learn the Core Swordsmanship of the Autumn Water Fraction,” she said.

Higurashi Chika seemed to have made a significant resolution.

“Willing? Of course, I’m willing,” Roger replied.

“Then… see you tomorrow,” Higurashi Chika nodded and disappeared into the darkness.

After Roger returned to his room and made some simple disguises, he slipped out of the courtyard silently and without a trace.

With nobody around, Roger pushed his speed to the limit. Even without the power of Pale Blood, his speed was terrifying. In no time, he crossed fields and woods, arriving atop a hill.

Sitting upright, bathed in the dim moonlight.

Before long, an unusual aura pulsed through the darkness, and a tall figure emerged in the wilderness.

A robust body, a red face, horns on the head that had been cut off but now were fully restored.

Excitement showed on Roger’s face as he suddenly emerged from the darkness, grinning at the somewhat surprised Red Prajna.

“You’re slow. I’ve been waiting for you a long time,” he said.

Red Prajna was startled at first, then quickly surveyed the surroundings with a wary gaze, ensuring there were no ambushes before fixing his eyes on Roger.

“It’s you,” said Red Prajna.

“The guy who hides behind a woman.”

With a split grin revealing a fierce smile, Red Prajna said.

Roger nodded.

And mirrored Red Prajna’s exact smile.

“Your timing couldn’t be better,” Roger murmured, clenching his fists.
