Chapter 38
Mingming's Plan to Resign
However, if you want to speed up the growth of magic power, you should do what Rias did in the original work: send your familiars around to distribute leaflets with magic circles inscribed on them to people who might be able to summon them.
This allows humans to enter into contracts with their own family members or themselves, and to receive a price for fulfilling their wishes in order to strengthen themselves.
The problem is that he doesn't even have a familiar, let alone any family members.
Thinking of this, Hyuga Gen suddenly had a favorite candidate in mind, and then asked Akiyama Rinko:
"Rinko, do you know Asagi Igawa?"
Upon hearing the name, Akiyama Rinko's face lit up with longing, and she put down her bowl and chopsticks.
"Asagi-senpai? She was the pride of all of us Anti-Demon Ninja, but she left the organization many years ago, and only the elders probably know where she is now."
Seeing that Akiyama Rinko didn't know where Igawa Asagi was, Hyuga Gen wasn't disappointed; he knew news would come sooner or later.
The best news is that I don't know. It means that Igawa Asagi hasn't been called back by the elders yet and is still in love with that useless boyfriend. Even if I find her, it won't do me any good.
Let's focus on winning over Rinko Akiyama first. If I were to transform her into a demon, her strength would skyrocket, given her ability to use space-time ninjutsu.
With that thought in mind, Hyuga Gen stopped trying to control his magic power and simply let the alluring magic power spread throughout the room.
At the same time, he put some food into Akiyama Rinko's bowl and looked at her with a smile.
Seeing this, Akiyama Rinko raised an eyebrow slightly, then glanced discreetly in the direction of the kitchen. Seeing that Nanao Akane wasn't looking, she ate with a clear conscience.
Seeing Akiyama Rinko's reaction, Hinata Gen mentally gave himself a thumbs up for his ability to increase women's favorability, but unfortunately he couldn't see the progress bar.
Mingming, who was standing to the side, saw the little interaction between Hyuga Gen and Akiyama Rinko and for some reason felt a little uneasy.
But he quickly came to his senses and, thinking about what happened at the entrance of Shangjing University that afternoon, looked at Hinata Gen with a scrutinizing gaze.
"This guy's weird ability can actually affect me? No way, I have to stay away from him. I think I should quit my job at the end of this month. It wouldn't be good if I accidentally fell in love with him."
Thinking of this, Mingming put down her chopsticks and hurried back to her room, where several crows were perched on the living room window.
After Mingming left, Hinata Gen got up, filled two glasses with water, and naturally sat down in the spot where Mingming had been sitting, next to Akiyama Rinko.
"Rinko, would you like some water?"
"Thank you, Hinata-sama."
Rinko Akiyama didn't feel thirsty at first, but when she heard Gen Hinata ask her if she wanted some, she reached out and took it. She took a sip with utmost composure and then looked at Gen Hinata.
"Is there something you want to ask me, Hyuga-sama?"
"I want you to become my contract, no, my familiar."
Of course, Gen Hyuga would never say those words aloud; the words just came out as they were meant to be.
"Rinko, I want to learn the abilities of anti-demon ninja. Can you teach me?"
Although Gen Hinata was initially reluctant to learn, once he accepted it, he was fine with it.
Rinko Akiyama did not refuse directly, but instead looked troubled.
"Lord Hyuga, becoming a Taima Ninja isn't something you can achieve through training alone. You must have the bloodline of a Taima Ninja within you; otherwise, you will absolutely not succeed."
"This is one of the reasons why there are so few anti-demon ninjas. In general, each anti-demon ninja has different abilities and uses family-inherited ninjutsu, which outsiders are not qualified to learn."
At this point, Rinko Akiyama has made it very clear: without blood ties, don't even think about it.
To Akiyama Rinko's surprise, Hinata Gen showed no sign of disappointment.
"Go on, Rinko. It's just about the Demon Ninja bloodline and family ninjutsu, right? I have those. You just need to teach me the basics."
"what?"
Gen Hyuga's words startled Rinko Akiyama. Was this guy serious? She'd never heard of the Hyuga clan having a lineage of demon ninja.
Seeing that Akiyama Rinko didn't believe him, Hinata Gen smiled mysteriously and didn't explain. She would know why he said that soon enough.
Judging by the time, the demon servant sent by the butler to deliver the Exorcist Training Manual should be arriving soon.
"Yuan-kun, have you finished eating?"
Just then, Akane Nanao, who was hiding in the kitchen, suddenly came out and saw Gen Hinata sitting next to Rinko Akiyama.
Look at Rinko Akiyama's breasts, then look at mine, well, they're not that different.
Then, Akane Nanao revealed a confident expression. It was just a deformed product. How could something so big be as convenient as one's own? It was nothing to worry about.
After walking over quickly, he ignored Akiyama Rinko's presence and immediately threw himself into Hinata Gen's arms.
After feeding her a few pieces of fruit, Hyuga Gen quickly sent Nanao Akane back to her room, even though it wasn't dark yet.
"Ding-dong!"
As soon as Akane Nanao returned to her room, the doorbell rang.
Hyuga Gen stood up abruptly and quickly walked to the door.
As soon as he opened the door, Hyuga Gen was drawn to a blonde woman. She was dressed in a black maid outfit, with fair skin and a delicate face, just like an elf.
Upon seeing Hyuga Gen, the blonde woman performed a perfectly proper aristocratic bow and respectfully said:
"Master, I am Arya, a demon servant of Lord Gefis."
When Hyuga Gen heard that she was a demon servant of the butler, he was secretly pleased. The butler had quite the taste.
After finishing his laughter, he looked at Arya, who had nothing in her hands or behind her, and asked with some confusion:
"Hello Arya, here's what the butler asked you to bring."
Upon hearing Hyuga Gen's question, Aria realized she had come to deliver something and quickly replied:
"Master, please wait a moment, I'll get it for you right away."
After saying that, he immediately put his hand in front of his chest.
"So it was hidden inside the clothes."
Just as Hyuga Gen was hesitating whether to watch, a terrifying scene unfolded.
"Ah~"
Arya let out a soft "ah" sound, and then her body suddenly split open in two, revealing a burst of light.
The next second, two packages, one large and one small, appeared on the ground, along with a katana about 80cm long.
Arya's sudden splitting of her body caught Hyuga Gen off guard. Luckily, he had watched a lot of horror movies in his previous life, otherwise he would have been terrified.
After spitting out the package, Arya quickly returned to her original state. Seeing that Hyuga Gen's expression wasn't too good, she couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Master, you don't look well. What happened?"
Hyuga Gen's lips twitched after hearing this. "What do you think happened? An ordinary person would have been scared to death by your move."
The butler's familiar demon is rather dull.
