Chapter 91: Because I have a connection with you and your daughter

Inside the luxury room, looking at the handsome Akaso Kaze in front of her.

Tomoko Suzuki's mouth moved, revealing a charming smile.

She elegantly lifted her thin, sheer shawl.

Then she unbuttoned the back of her neck...

Akaso Kaze couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Sonoko behind him was even more shocked, her eyes widening, and she hurriedly stepped forward to block him.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Tomoko Suzuki looked serious.

"The Dark Star is our Suzuki family heirloom and must not be lost, so confirming identity is essential."

"We finally got it back, what if it falls into Kaitou Kid's hands again?"

"Then we mother and daughter would be the sinners of the Suzuki family."

Sonoko Suzuki was stunned by what she heard.

"But, Akaso-san is still here..."

"It's precisely because Lord Onmyoji is here that it's good! With Lord Onmyoji here, Kaitou Kid will never escape his eyes."

Sonoko Suzuki was instantly speechless.

Her mother's words sounded reasonable, but why did it feel a bit strange?

Looking back, fortunately, Akaso-san is a gentleman and has already turned away.

Of course, she didn't know that for a mage, seeing in all directions was an easy task.

Akaso Kaze said: "Sonoko, since the lady's identity is confirmed, let's leave the Dark Star with her for safekeeping. I'll be leaving now."

"Also, before I go, there are a few things I must remind you of."

"This heirloom of yours is indeed somewhat supernatural and can fulfill some wishes, but the price paid is very high."

"I'm afraid the people who wear and use this treasure don't live very long."

"What? Is that so? Mom?" Sonoko was shocked.

Tomoko Suzuki's face also changed.

This heirloom had always been worn by the wives of the Suzuki family.

And the wives of the Suzuki family did indeed not live long...

Could it be that there was a reason for this?

Tomoko Suzuki hurriedly turned to Akaso Kaze, asking anxiously: "Lord Akaso, what do you know?"

Akaso Kaze looked down, the corners of his mouth curling up.

"Madam, please put your clothes back on first, and we'll talk slowly."

Half an hour later, Tomoko Suzuki, sitting on the sofa, turned pale.

"Lord Akaso, you mean that every time this Dark Star is used, it absorbs the user's soul as a supplement?"

"Yes." Akaso Kaze nodded.

"This treasure stipulates that only direct members of the Suzuki family can use it. This 'direct' doesn't mean bloodline, but includes those who marry into the Suzuki family."

So, I guess this is the main reason the Dark Star was made into women's jewelry.

Akaso Kaze, of course, wouldn't say this out loud.

But as clever as Mrs. Tomoko was, she soon understood the implication.

The Suzuki family had been sacrificing their lives to build their industry.

"Akaso-san, you're so amazing, you must have a way to save my mom, right?" Sonoko asked with teary eyes.

Akaso Kaze smacked his lips.

A way, he really did have one.

What the Dark Star actually needed was magic power.

And for Akaso Kaze, ever since he got the Fog Tengu that grew just by drinking water, he didn't lack magic power at all.

But, I am a mage, after all.

Mages emphasize equivalent exchange; how could he give away magic power for nothing?

"Lord Akaso, please help me, I can agree to any condition."

Tomoko Suzuki placed her long, slender fingers on Akaso Kaze's knee.

[Ding, received a commission from the Suzuki family. Complete the commission to receive a magic reward.]

Akaso Kaze's mouth curled up.

That's no problem.

Ever since he became a true mage, relying solely on magic replenishment was no longer enough to gain more magic or increase his level.

He could only rely on his own exploration or various strange tasks.

Akaso Kaze was, of course, willing to exchange his excess magic power for new magic to improve himself.

He touched his chin and said, looking troubled: "Although this can be done, it is very taxing on an onmyoji's magic power, but, since I have a connection with you and your daughter..."

Akaso Kaze took the Dark Star.

He began to chant.

First, he cast the Eye of Space on the two women.

Then he pulled out all the souls in his space for a stroll.

Then he took turns casting Wind Walk, Water Mist, and Hand of Flame.

The two women beside him watched until their eyes were about to pop out.

What kind of eerie scene is this?

The Dark Star floated in mid-air.

Layers of mist slowly rose from the surface of the pitch-black pearl.

These mists condensed into one terrifying ghost after another.

There were those carrying their own heads, those with their limbs separated, those pitch-black and burned like charcoal, and those with knives stuck in their backs...

There were even four black cats.

They all bared their fangs and brandished their claws, letting out silent roars at the two of them.

The mother and daughter hugged each other, shivering all over.

*Boom.*

Akaso Kaze pointed sharply, and eerie flames suddenly ignited on the surface of the pearl.

Those terrifying ghosts were all burned, twisting and struggling, slowly turning into nothingness.

Finally, Akaso Kaze blew a breath.

*Pfft.*

It vanished into thin air.

The Dark Star returned to being an ordinary black pearl.

"Alright, it's done. Before the next time you use it, it won't absorb your soul again."

Akaso Kaze handed the pearl back.

"Th-this, is this enough?"

Tomoko Suzuki was, after all, a bit bolder.

She reached out her long, slender fingers and touched the pearl.

It was cool, and the strange phenomena that had just appeared were all gone, as if it had been a hallucination.

"Don't worry. I'm the strongest onmyoji in Tokyo, after all."

Akaso Kaze smiled and came behind her, helping her put the Dark Star on.

He accidentally touched her skin in the process, and Tomoko Suzuki's little ears turned red instantly.

Yo, this mother and daughter are really similar.

Their necks are both their weak points.
