Chapter 642

"So, Ms. Yukiko, why did you come back this time? Could it be just because you missed me?"

Akaso Kaze asked with a smile, at ease behind her.

"I, I, I am here to entrust you with a task on behalf of someone else."

Yukiko managed to say a complete sentence with great difficulty.

"Entrust me on behalf of someone? Who?"

"Ch, Ch, Chris Vineyard."

Chris Vineyard?

Akaso Kaze frowned slightly.

Isn't that Vermouth?

When did she entrust Yukiko with anything?

Akaso Kaze used his Space Eye to take a look; Vermouth was currently fast asleep in a room in his own house.

Her body was curled up like an infant's, and her sleeping posture was actually quite cute.

Ever since he got Vermouth out of the hands of the FBI, Akaso Kaze had kept her locked up at home.

This woman was very stubborn and refused to surrender no matter what.

Akaso Kaze, however, felt a bit of curiosity arise.

Logically speaking, Vermouth is the Witch of a Thousand Faces, an old demoness who has lived for decades; she certainly isn't some chaste maiden, so is there any need for her to be this persistent?

This matter seemed somewhat strange.

Akaso Kaze was currently looking for a way to crack open her hard shell and see what the soft flesh of Vermouth inside was really like.

A little challenge makes things more fun, after all.

"Yukiko, what exactly is your relationship with the Vineyard family?"

Akaso Kaze wanted to obtain more information.

Yukiko's eyes were already somewhat unfocused; she gritted her teeth, and after a good while, she answered intermittently:

"I studied disguise under Toichi Kuroba together with Sharon Vineyard. We became very good friends during that time. Later, she had a child, and I watched Chris grow up..."

"What? You watched her grow up?"

Akaso Kaze was startled.

This didn't seem quite right.

Shouldn't Sharon Vineyard and Chris Vineyard be the same person?

"That's right. Although we didn't see each other often, we would meet once or twice every year."

"But what's strange is that as Chris grew up, the mother and daughter looked more and more alike, as if they were cast from the same mold."

"Once, I even asked Sharon out of curiosity, but she changed the subject and didn't explain."

"From then on, Sharon's appearance began to gradually grow old."

"However, as a fellow student, I clearly knew that it was all her disguise. Sharon's appearance had never changed; it was as if it had stayed at the age of twenty-something..."

"Oh, come to think of it, her appearance was exactly the same as the current Chris Vineyard!"

Listening to Yukiko's words, Akaso Kaze's brows locked tightly.

There seemed to be an unusual secret hidden within this.

It seems I don't fully understand this world.

Come to think of it, that makes sense; after all, when I came here, this manga hadn't finished yet.

Anything is possible...

The next morning, after sending Yukiko off, Akaso Kaze returned home.

Walking into Vermouth's room, the woman was lying on the bed, blinking her large eyes at him.

Vermouth wasn't wearing any clothes, but her whole body was hidden under the quilt, wrapped up tightly.

Akaso Kaze looked at her with a half-smile.

"As expected of the Witch of a Thousand Faces, you really have quite a few trump cards. You actually set up a timed message in advance to have Kudo Yukiko entrust me."

"I suppose you also know that I won't refuse a woman's request, especially... my woman."

Vermouth pursed her lips and didn't speak, but there was a faint look of triumph on her face.

Ever since Gin was forced to leave Tokyo, she knew of Akaso Kaze's power.

That was definitely an existence that could not be confronted head-on.

However, no matter how powerful a person is, they have their weaknesses.

In order to find a way to deal with Akaso Kaze, Vermouth had investigated everything about him: his personality, his women, and everything else.

That was why she could formulate one plan after another in advance.

Even if Yukiko couldn't succeed, she still had other trump cards.

The Witch of a Thousand Faces, Vermouth, does not have her reputation for nothing.

So, what will you do, my lord Onmyoji?

Vermouth looked at Akaso Kaze with a feeling of victory.

Akaso Kaze's lips curled slightly; he came to the bedside and extended a finger to lift the woman's chin.

The quilt on Vermouth's body fell away, revealing her fair shoulders.

However, she didn't care at all, only using her pair of charming large eyes, with a gaze like water, to look at the man in front of her.

"You really are not simple," Akaso Kaze said with a smile.

"However, you have no idea who you are facing."

"If you provoke me, you must endure my wrath!"

Akaso Kaze waved his hand, and the quilt on Vermouth's body flew away.

"I've heard that there is a shortest path to a woman's heart."

"Originally, I didn't want to take a shortcut."

"But now, I've changed my mind."

"So, my little witch, are you ready?" ===== CHAPTER 644 =====
