: Red Moon Club

brush!!!

The restrained doll's body was cleaved in two by a chainsaw!

Cotton fibers flew everywhere! Accompanied by a surge of black resentment!

A doll that was split in two and fell to the ground.

The body began to disintegrate.

Golden curls turned to ashes, blue eyes lost their luster, and the pink princess dress shattered into pieces.

At last…

Only the four buttons of different colors remained, lying quietly on the ground.

All those densely packed dolls stopped moving at the same instant.

As if it had lost its support, it collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Huff... huff... huff..."

Hikawa gasped for breath and slammed the chainsaw into the ground.

"This guy's only level 3? He's actually pretty tough to beat..."

Matsushima Yukio came over and checked her injuries.

"Are you alright?"

"No... I'm just tired..."

Momose Sena was still standing in the same spot. Her all-out sprint had almost exhausted most of her magic power, and her face was already a little pale.

"Sena?"

"I...I'm fine..."

She looked down at her hands.

That illusion just now...

That's so true.

Ryosuke Miyagi walked over and picked up the four buttons.

[Exceptional Observation!]

All four buttons lit up with a soft glow at the same time.

Information flooded my mind.

【Clue (7/10)】

【Clue (8/10)】

【Clue (9/10)】

【Clue (10/10)】

[Clues collected!]

[Information being compiled!]

Integration complete!

[The source of the "obsessive item" has been identified!]

[Location: Kabukicho ××, Shinjuku-ku, "Red Moon" Club]

[Type: A gathering place for a group of madmen who constantly create vengeful monsters in order to influence the world order. The sticky messages on these monsters have been confirmed to be the work of the same person.]

[Operator: Unknown (presumably female, 30-40 years old, with strong ties to the club, possibly a club member.)]

[Objective: To collect resentment and cultivate a high-level monster (estimated level: 7 or higher)]

Threat Level: Extremely High

[Recommendation: Proceed with caution and make thorough preparations]

[Note: You've caught a big fish! High-level monsters (level 7 and above) generate hundreds of coins, and if you kill them, you can even get some special rewards.]

[That's hundreds of gold coins! Killing a level 7 or higher wraith will earn you enough to buy an entire apartment to rent out. Yes, those tenants who can't afford it, you can do whatever you want with your money...]

[Reward: Precise selection of tenant information (the ability to accurately identify attractive, down-on-their-luck tenants who can't afford rent. These are the people you need to target precisely)]

Ryosuke Miyagi paid no attention to what the narration in his mind said next; he noticed two very important pieces of information.

One is an entity known as the Red Moon Club, who seem to be the source manipulators of the creation of resentful monsters.

The second one is Wei Hong's controller, who seems to be a level 7 being.

Level 7 is an almost insurmountable gap for the team right now, as the level difference is more than double.

Ryosuke Miyagi looked at the message and his eyes turned cold.

"Red Moon" Club.

He put the button in his pocket and turned to look at the magical girls.

That's all for tonight. Time to wrap up.

He chose not to reveal what he knew. A level 7 being was something even a magical girl shouldn't have ever seen. There was no point in revealing such a terrifying being; it would only increase panic.

His current goal is simple: to hunt as many monsters as possible and increase his monster hunting record. Then, he will use these records to improve the magical girls' strength as much as possible and subject them to grueling training.

[You're just lusting after their bodies...tsk tsk tsk! And you even put them through special training!]

Sometimes, individual training can be too slow. You might try training two magical girls together, but of course, the two magical girls must have a good relationship. Otherwise, the training effect will be greatly reduced.

[Reward: Dual-Person Training Method (This is a top-tier secret technique that allows you to juggle between two girls. The prerequisite is that both girls have a favorability rating of 70 or higher towards you; if the rating is too low, they may storm out.)]

"Huh? It's over already? It's barely dark, aren't you going to continue?"

Hikawa looked like she hadn't had enough.

Finally, I gave her a chainsaw and beat her to her heart's content.

With each saw strike, the monster screamed in agony, and black energy exploded – this was the combat thrill he had always sought.

Compared to the exhausting teamwork of chasing and hunting alone, the feeling of simply focusing on outputting damage is fantastic.

"We'll talk about the rest another day."

He walked to the shop entrance and glanced back at the pile of doll remains scattered on the ground.

"Kiyone, can this place be cleaned up? The monster has been eliminated, so the site needs to be cleaned up. There aren't many people here anyway, so there's no need to waste money by having the countermeasures bureau handle it."

"Can."

Nanatsuji Kirion took out several talismans and began chanting incantations.

A pale golden light emanated from her, enveloping the entire shop.

The lingering resentment gradually dissipated in the light.

Five minutes later.

The store has returned to normal.

It's just an ordinary secondhand shop filled with old toys.

The dolls sat quietly on the shelf, their glass bead eyes no longer reflecting light.

They are just ordinary dolls.

It was all over. Ryosuke Miyagi hailed a taxi for everyone and gave each person five silver coins and one gold coin as payment for the mission.

After the magical girls received their mission rewards, they excitedly said that they would definitely let them know in advance if there was a mission next time.

My favorability rating has also increased significantly...

...

The four girls went their separate ways.

Before leaving, Hikawa turned back and called out, "Boss! Remember to call me next time you're up to something! Following you will definitely bring you great wealth!"

Matsushima Yukio nodded to him.

Goodnight, Ryosuke.

"Good night."

Momose Sena shrugged and whispered, "W-Boss, see you tomorrow..."

"See you tomorrow."

Nanatsuji Kirion was the last to leave. She took two steps, then turned back.

"Ryosuke-kun".

"Um?"

"Um... thank you."

"What are you thanking me for?"

Nanatsuji Kirion smiled.

"Thank you for asking me to help."

She secretly tiptoed and pecked Ryosuke Miyagi on the cheek before running away in a panic.

Four taxis arrived to find Ryosuke Miyagi standing there. Four girls had confessed their love to him, and the drivers were all speechless with shock, their eyes wide open.

Are young people these days really this fierce?

Having two relationships at once seems to be the limit for human beings, but this boy actually has four.

Is the world progressing this fast?

When did polygamy become a thing of the past?

After watching everyone leave in taxis, Ryosuke Miyagi also took a taxi back to his apartment.

……

In the room.

The desk lamp was still on.

He sat down and placed the eight objects of his obsession on the table.

A coin.

A piece of cloth.

A black feather.

An old photograph.

Four buttons

He arranged them in a row.

Then open the Witcher's Handbook.

On the second page, new information has emerged.

[Clues collected.]

[Information on the "Red Moon" Club has been updated!]

[Third underground level: Artificial resentment cultivation device, speculated to be some kind of summoning circle or cultivation tank]

[Operator: Codename "Boss Lady", true identity unknown]

[Related Cases: At least 12 missing persons cases (in the last three years)]

Threat Level: 7 (It is recommended that all members be at least level 6 before proceeding)

[Note: Going now is suicide. But if you can get promoted a few more times, or recruit a few more employees...]

That's a veritable gold mine.

Ryosuke Miyagi closed the handbook.

He walked to the window and looked in the direction of Shinjuku.

The neon lights of Kabukicho are still flashing.

That building is located deep within that sea of ​​lights.

"Red Moon" Club.

The proprietress.

Twelve missing persons cases.

He looked away and lay down on the bed.

Currently, the Red Moon Club appears to have a hierarchy, at least in terms of its structure. However, the extent of the danger involved in their previous promise to the Evil God to retrieve something from Dolphin Bay remains to be seen.

During this period, we should focus on stable development and conserve our strength to improve the magical girls.
