Chapter 73 - Encounter at the Second-Hand Market

Then, using his formidable strength, he would check all these apartments at the fastest speed.

With just a sweep, he could determine which apartment Hanazono Yurine was in.

After asking a few people, Toya finally confirmed the location of the run-down apartment.

Because there was only one run-down apartment building in Jimbocho. This building was famous for its low rent and for specifically renting to impoverished university students.

"Fifteen minutes left?" Toya checked his location relative to the apartment. "It's not far. I'll look around while I'm here."

"Hope I can find some good light novels."

Jimbocho was Tokyo's largest gathering place for old and second-hand books; maybe he could find a hidden gem.

With plenty of time, there was no need to rush over and wait in boredom.

Hanazono Yurine held the titles of "Strongest Black Mage on Earth" and "Missionary of Evil."

If he wasn't careful and got discovered, what then?

Although he didn't know how much of her strength from the original work would translate to reality, caution was never wrong.

Having made up his mind, Toya started strolling around Jimbocho.

Small shops lined the streets, displaying all kinds of books.

Books were piled together like small mountains.

Toya entered a second-hand light novel shop and started browsing, hoping to find something to his liking.

As a transmigrator, life couldn't just be about fighting and killing; literary edification was also necessary.

Even if the books providing this spiritual edification were various light novels and manga.

"No, not quite right." Toya shook his head slightly, putting down a book titled The Secret Story Between the Demon King and the Heroine.

He picked up another one randomly, but the title on the cover instantly dissuaded him.

The Hero and the Indescribable Demon King...

"Forget it, I'm leaving." Toya instantly lost interest in reading further.

The Japanese mindset was becoming increasingly bizarre; as a remnant of the old era, he really couldn't board the ship to the new age.

Just as Toya was slowly walking toward the run-down apartment, a shop selling Occult Tomes by the roadside caught his attention.

The shop displayed quite a few ancient texts, although most were freshly printed.

But one of them caught Toya's eye.

In Toya's perception, this seemingly ordinary Occult Tome actually emitted an aura of ancient time.

Even a cursory glance revealed the weight of history contained within it.

Toya wanted to check the contents of the ancient book but realized the mission start time was drawing near.

"Buy it first."

Without bargaining, he bought the ancient text directly for 20,000 yen.

After buying it, Toya shoved it into his pocket without looking.

Not long after, Toya arrived at the run-down apartment.

This three-story apartment building was, as its name suggested, extremely dilapidated and old.

Even so, tenants still flocked to it.

Simply because its low price perfectly met the expectations of university students.

Activating his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, Toya looked at the apartment. A corner room on the second floor was already surging with fluctuations of magical power.

In the run-down apartment, only this room had magical fluctuations, so this was clearly Hanazono Yurine's rental.

"Found it!" Toya murmured, picking up the "Holy Sword of Physics"—a crowbar he had bought from a hardware store—and walking up.

The World Commission wasn't hard; he just had to make Jashin-chan lose her power.

A powerless Jashin-chan was just an ordinary demon, with strength comparable to a normal human.

He didn't have to worry about her affecting the Evil God's Banquet.

He just needed to use a little bit of force to hit Jashin-chan and make her lose her power.

Then, Hanazono Yurine would regularly clean up Jashin-chan's power, ensuring no uncontrollable situations occurred.

"Sorry, Jashin-chan!" A glint flashed in Toya's eyes, and the crowbar in his hand was already eager for action.

Time passed gradually. The magical power in Hanazono Yurine's room rose, reaching a level where ordinary people would find it hard to move.

Fortunately, the room had an isolation barrier, so it didn't attract the attention of ordinary people.

After the magical power reached its peak, it dropped instantly, returning to a normal level.

"Now!"

Hearing Jashin-chan's arrogant and conceited clear voice from the room, Toya's eyes flashed cold. He instantly opened the door and rushed in.

In the room, a girl dressed in dark Lolita fashion, with a white eyepatch over her left eye, an exquisite pale face, and a somewhat gloomy aura that kept people away, froze.

She looked fifteen or sixteen but was actually a nineteen-year-old university student.

The sudden intrusion caught even Jashin-chan off guard; she remained in her state of arms crossed, looking arrogant and conceited.

"Green cobra body, upper body of a cute blonde girl, blonde hair tied with light blue ribbons—confirmed as Jashin-chan!"
