Chapter 994 Signing a contract


    The girl had a dream.


    In the dream, she was having dinner happily with her parents, but at this moment, a man suddenly appeared in front of them out of thin air.


    Before the girl could react to what happened, her father, who was always kind and kind, summoned two swords and rushed towards the man, and then was killed by the other party in the blink of an eye. The mother also raised her hands and summoned the flames to try to fight. However, soon, she was covered by the flames and turned into a burnt corpse.


    After that, the girl couldn''t remember what happened...


    “Woo……”


    When the girl opened her eyes, she saw a strange ceiling.


    "Ah, you''re awake."


    At the same time, a familiar voice came. The girl turned her head and saw a very familiar white-haired girl watching her with a smile on her face.


    "You are...Wanria..."


    The girl remembers that the other party was her cousin, Narise Maria. She murmured to herself, then raised her head again, and saw a burly figure sitting on a chair not far away - she remembered correctly, she should have lived in her neighbor next door.


    “Uncle…”


    "What''s your name? I''m not that old yet."


    Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes helplessly.


    "How are you?"


    "Woo...Why am I here? I remember I should have supper with my parents at home..."


    The girl sat up, then she lowered her head and looked at the blood on her sailor''s suit. At this moment, the originally vague memory became clear.


    "Wait, where are dad and mom?!"


    "It''s better not to go see it..."


    Duanmuhuai reached out and pressed the girl''s shoulder, while the latter struggled for a moment and sat back on the sofa dejectedly.


    "What the **** is going on? Why... it''s all a dream, right? Wanria?!"


    As he spoke, the girl - Mio Narise raised her head and looked at the girl in front of her, while the latter didn''t say anything, turned to look at Duanmu Huai...


    "No, what do you think of me?"


    Duanmu Huai was also stunned as he watched both of them staring at him.


    "I don''t know anything, I''m still waiting for you to explain it to me!"


    "Hey? Uncle, weren''t you sent to protect Lord Mio?"


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s answer, the white-haired girl was also stunned.


    "Of course not. I just live next door neighbor! How do I know what''s going on with you?"


    Duanmu Huai felt that he seemed to be involved in a very troublesome situation for no reason. Well, actually, after he saw the old demon man, Duanmu Huai knew that things would not be that simple, so he was waiting for others to explain the background to himself.


    "Can you just have a neighbor next door kill Zorky...?"


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s answer, the white-haired girl muttered to herself with disbelief. But soon, she came to her senses, coughed lightly, and looked at the red-haired girl in front of her.


    "My Lord, you didn''t dream. In fact, those two are not your parents, and I... are not your cousin."


    "Why?!"


    Hearing the answer from the white-haired girl - Wanria, Mio Nara was shocked, and even Duanmu Huai raised her eyebrows.


    Oh, this plot is a bit interesting.


    As he finished speaking, Wanliya''s body suddenly began to glow. After a moment, the foreign costume she originally wore disappeared, replaced by a sensational black leather jacket. Behind Wanliya, bat-like wings and slender tail grew.


    Seeing this scene, Mio Narise was very surprised, while Duanmu Huai seemed very calm. After all, today he has seen the dress of everyone in the Mystic Research Society.


    Although I have heard from Rias that many demons live in the human world incognito, I didn’t expect that they would be so close...


    Next, Wanria also told a story to Mio Narise and Duanmu Ai.


    Duanmu Huai already knows that there are demons in this world, and there is also a superior demon nobleman - Rias seems to be one of the superior demon nobles.


    A coincidence, Mio Narase is also a descendant of another superior demon nobleman. Her father was a superior demon nobleman named Wilbert, and one of the stable nobles among the demons who had originally agreed to a three-party ceasefire. When Mio Narase was born, in order to keep Mio Narase away from the sight of her enemies in the Demon Realm, Wilbert put her in the human world and handed her over to her loyal subordinates to raise her.


    That''s right, Narase Mio''s parents who have lived with her since her birth are the subordinates of the demon Wilbert. And Wanria herself came here as her cousin to protect Mio Narise.


    Of course, if everything goes well, Mio Narase will continue to live happily and ignorantly. But there were unexpected events in the world. Just a year ago, Wilbert suddenly passed away. This caused the demon family to lose the head of the family. In this case, it was logical that his daughter Mio Narise must have returned to inherit the position of head of the family.


    But well...well, the next step is naturally boring struggle for power, internal conflicts of the family and the desire of external enemies, making Mio Narase, who inherited the power of Wilbert and had the right to inherit the family, become a thorn in their side. According to Wanria, the demon clan who had attacked Mio Narase before was named Zorki. He was originally responsible for monitoring Mio Narase''s actions, but after learning about Wilbert''s death, Zorky seemed to have an unscrupulous ambition, so he took action against Mio Narase and others.


    I heard that this girl is quite a famous strong man in the Demon World, but I never expected that she would die at the hands of Duanmu Huai...


    “…………”


    After listening to Wanria''s story, Mio Narise sat blankly on the sofa without saying a word. It''s no wonder. After all, I just witnessed my parents being killed with my own eyes, and my cousin told them that they were not their parents at all, and they were not even humans, but demons, and very noble superior demons...


    "Okay, I understand the general process of the matter."


    Duanmu Huai nodded.


    "What should you do next?"


    "By the way, since they are all demons, she might be willing to help if I want me to introduce you alone."


    Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai thought of Rias.


    "I have a student named Rias Gimmonry. She seems to be a superior demon. Can you ask her for help?"


    "Red-haired Miao Ji? I really didn''t expect that she was in this city too."


    Wanria frowned when she heard Duanmuhuai''s inquiry.


    "Indeed, the Jimmonri family is a stable party and has a good relationship with the current Demon King... but it doesn''t work! In any case, we are also a family that is on par with Jimmonri. If Lord Mio asks for help from the Jimmonri family and is protected by the other party, then we have no position to speak!"


    "This is really troublesome, so relatives... Since their identities are all fake, I guess I can''t find any relatives."


    "yes………"


    Wanria lowered her head dejectedly.


    "Actually, since the death of Lord Mio''s father, the family''s power has changed. Now I am the only one who protects Lord Mio..."


    "That means that my family can''t count on it... OK, it''s not surprising to think about it."


    After all, everyone wants to be the patriarch, right? Who would be willing to give the power he was about to get to a little girl? Maybe they would be eager for Mio Narase to be killed, so they would not have to cause any more trouble.


    "Forget it, don''t think about this for the time being. Let''s solve the things in front of us first."


    Duanmu Huai shook his head, decisively threw this trouble behind his head, and looked at Mio Narise.


    "Then... Narase, I think you must be tired after going through so much. Go take a shower and change your clothes and take a rest... Wanliya, you are a demon, is there any way to deal with the matter outside? It will be even more troublesome to call the police at that time."


    "Ah, don''t worry about this. I''m a nightmare and can modify human memory to a certain extent, but..."


    Speaking of this, Wanliya raised her head and stared at Duanmu Huai.


    "You are...Mr. Duanmu, please forgive me for taking the liberty. Why do you take care of us like this?"


    "First of all, we are neighbors, and we have met several times, and we are quite familiar with each other. In addition, this is the case with you now, so I can''t leave it alone. Secondly, you and I are also grasshoppers on the same rope."


    “What do you say?”


    "I killed the guy named Zorky. Although I don''t know much about the situation in the Demon Realm, killing him will cause me trouble. So since there is already trouble coming, there is no need for me to clear my relationship with you. Even if you leave, they will still come to me to trouble, right? One sheep is to drive away, and a group of sheep is to let go. When they dare to come, they just happen to clean up all of them, which saves effort, right? Of course, the premise is that you will not endanger the world, nor will you harm humanity, otherwise I will not be ruthless."


    "Uh... Mr. Duanmu, you are really confident in yourself..."


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s answer, Wanliya silently complained, but recalling the scene where he killed Zorki just now, Wanliya really couldn''t say that he was bragging.


    After that, Mio Narase went to take a shower and changed clothes obediently after hearing Duanmu Ai''s words - perhaps the blow was too big, or maybe the brain could not accept the news yet, Mio Narase felt confused at the moment.


    Duanmuhuai and Wanliya were responsible for dealing with the police and firefighters who arrived. Under Duanmuhuai''s instructions, Wanliya transformed their memories and turned the traces of the battle in the room into a gas explosion, while the couple were the unfortunate victims. Mio Narase became the only survivor...it was somewhat considered to have suppressed this matter.


    After all, it can''t be said that the devil killed them.


    After everything was done, Duanmu Huai also dragged his tired body back home. This day was really magnificent for him. Not only was he forced to learn the true identities of a group of demons early in the morning, but after school, he had to go to the police station to report because of a beast in a dress who tried to copy the name of the book. As a result, just after returning home, the neighbor next door had this incident... He inexplicably fought with the demons and picked up a demon lady...


    “Huh……”


    Since Mio Narase and Manria occupied the bedroom, Duanmu Huai was not particular about it. She lay on the sofa, pulled a blanket, and then fell asleep with her eyes closed.


    “…………”


    I don’t know how long it took, Duanmu Huai heard the conversation in a daze.


    "Hurry, that''s now, Lord Mio!"


    "But, but this is not good..."


    "What are you talking about? Lord Mio, we need companions now. This gentleman is the best person, come on! Just make a big move..."


    "Huh...what are you doing?"


    At this moment, Duanmu Huai also opened his eyes and yawned. Then he saw Mio Narise and Manria in pajamas standing not far in front of him, and on the floor, a magic circle shining with glory was taking shape.


    "Please don''t worry, Mr. Duanmu!"


    Seeing Duanmu Huai wake up, Wanliya also laughed.


    "This is just a small ceremony to ensure that the souls of Mr. Duanmu and Master Mio can be connected together! In this way, each other can know where each other is! Come, link!"


    As he spoke, Wanliya raised his hands high, but the next moment, a golden light suddenly flashed on the back of Duanmuhuai''s hand!


    Immediately afterwards...


    "ah---!"


    With a scream, Mio Narose collapsed to the ground, and at the same time, a symbol with a shaped sign appeared on the girl''s neck.


    "What the **** is this?"


    Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai was stunned.
