Chapter 289: Buying a manor doesn't even cost money

"Let's go, let's head over and take a look; your friend seems to have been scared unconscious."

Koshimizu Natsuki leaned into Akaso Kaze's embrace, and he brought her to the edge of the cliff.

As they approached, the sound of wind whistled beneath the cliff, and a large, long-nosed dog with misty wings flapped them as it flew up.

"Ah! A mon, a monster!"

High school detective Koshimizu Natsuki had a much higher tolerance than the maid; although she hid in Akaso Kaze's arms, she hadn't been scared unconscious.

"Don't be afraid, this is my Shikigami; it was the one that saved your friend."

The Mist Tengu flew onto the cliff and dropped the maid on its back onto the ground.

Akaso Kaze reached out a hand.

The Mist Tengu instantly turned into a wisp of mist and drilled into the Space Gate within Akaso Kaze's sleeve.

This set of movements was something he had specifically practiced to show off; it looked incredibly cool, practically a simplified version of "Universe in the Sleeve."

Akaso Kaze squatted down to check on the unconscious Mizuguchi Kana and reached out to help press on her chest.

Wow.

Both having just graduated from high school, the maid's and the detective's sizes were not even in the same league.

Mizuguchi Kana slowly regained consciousness.

Have I arrived at the Yellow Springs?

Why does it feel like someone is touching my chest...

She opened her eyes slightly, and her face instantly turned red.

What a handsome guy; how could such a handsome man exist in this world? I must be dead.

【Ding, Mizuguchi Kana has developed a favorable impression of you; current favorability is 1.】

Huh?

Is it that hasty?

She only looked at me once, and the favorability increased.

Could it be that my charm has increased again?

Akaso Kaze let go of his hand.

Beside him, Koshimizu Natsuki let out a long sigh.

"Kana, you scared me to death; how could you commit suicide?"

"I, I'm not dead yet?"

Seeing her friend beside her, Mizuguchi Kana finally regained her senses.

"Don't worry, your grievances will be cleared soon; I've invited the most, most powerful Onmyoji lord to help you."

"Onmyoji lord?"

Mizuguchi Kana widened her eyes, "Are you the most handsome Onmyoji in Tokyo, Lord Akaso Kaze?"

Akaso Kaze smiled faintly, "That's right, you're talking about me."

"Wuu wuu, Lord Akaso, you must help me; I've been wronged."

The little maid immediately threw herself into Akaso Kaze's arms and began to cry bitterly out of grievance.

The grievances she had suffered over the past few days were finally being vented.

【Ding, Mizuguchi Kana has developed a favorable impression of you; current favorability is 2.】

Watching her friend throw herself into Akaso Kaze's arms, rubbing and rubbing, Koshimizu Natsuki couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart.

Just now, Lord Akaso helped Mizuguchi Kana press on her chest for a long time.

Does he, does he like that kind of...

Koshimizu Natsuki looked at her own chest and silently blocked it with her thin little arms.

After a while, Mizuguchi Kana had vented enough, and only then did she stand up embarrassedly, leading Akaso Kaze and Koshimizu Natsuki to the villa.

The gate of the Lavender Villa opened, and a person looking like a butler walked out.

"Kana, where did you run off to? The police have said you are the prime suspect; if you run away, I will have to tell the police."

Mizuguchi Kana hid behind Akaso Kaze.

Akaso Kaze frowned slightly and asked, "Who is this guy?"

"Lord Akaso, he is the butler of the Tanaka family, Kabutani Renzo." The Suzuki family's butler replied respectfully.

Kabutani Renzo looked at the speaker in surprise: "You, are you from the Suzuki family?"

The Suzuki family's butler had a proud expression.

Although both were butlers, the Tanaka family's and the Suzuki family's could not be mentioned in the same breath.

Relying on the power of the Suzuki Group, the butler of the Suzuki family could practically walk sideways in Kochi Prefecture.

Seeing Akaso Kaze and the others about to enter the manor, Kabutani Renzo hurriedly blocked them.

"You cannot enter; this is the Tanaka family's manor, even the Suzuki family cannot force their way into a private residence."

"Hmm?" Akaso Kaze frowned, "Is there no one left in the Tanaka family? A butler can actually make the decisions?"

Behind him, Mizuguchi Kana gathered her courage and said, "Master Tanaka was devastated by the young lady's death and has been recuperating in the hospital for some time; the butler handles all the manor's affairs."

Kabutani Renzo straightened his back, "That's right, the Master handed all the manor's affairs to me to handle; I have the right to not let outsiders enter."

Akaso Kaze looked at him, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

How impressive, a butler actually dares to block my path.

It seems this guy definitely has some issues.

He turned his head to look at the Suzuki family's butler and asked, "Didn't you just say this manor is for sale? Call and ask how much it is; I'm buying it."

Kabutani Renzo was stunned, dumbfounded.

Who is this handsome young man? His tone is so arrogant.

The Lavender Manor is in a good location; even though that kind of thing happened, it wouldn't be something that could be bought for one or two hundred million.

The Suzuki family's butler said respectfully, "How could we let you spend money on such a small matter? The Lady already said, whatever requirements you have, our Suzuki family will satisfy them."

The Suzuki butler's words made everyone feel even more incredible.

The Onmyoji lord is just too powerful.

Buying a manor doesn't even cost money; the Suzuki Group is fighting to give it to him.

This isn't an ordinary house worth one or two hundred million; this is an entire manor worth one billion.

The butler made a phone call on the spot.

Very soon, not long after, Kabutani Renzo received a call from Master Tanaka.

"What? Master, you sold this manor? This is the place where the young lady died!"

Kabutani Renzo's expression was extremely panicked.

"What, let us find our own way? Master, I have followed you for many years; you can't do this..."
