Chapter 73 Not A Proper Meal
A flash of cold light, and the wooden stake in front split in half and fell to the ground. The cut was clean and even, and if this blade had struck a person, it would have cleaved them in two.
Kirigiri Shimizu spun her long sword in her palm and swiftly sheathed it. This was her signature move, the "Draw Sword Slash," which had claimed the lives of countless wicked demi-humans and earned her the name of the Black Reaper.
"Clean and precise, Miss Shimizu remains as formidable as ever," spoke a blond woman with emerald-like eyes and a high nose bridge, clearly a mix of Asian and other ethnicities.
Her skin was wheat-colored, and she had a tall figure, easily reaching 1.8 meters. Her lower body was clad in triangular leather pants that hugged her curves tightly, while her upper body was covered by a leather corset that just barely concealed half of her chest, with several black strings connecting it in the middle.
Kirigiri Shimizu cast a cold glance at her from the corner of her eye, silent, before gripping her sword and turning to leave.
"Hello, Captain Ryou!" Komachi Kurenai stood nearby, quickly bowing her head to greet her. This mature woman called Ryou was the captain of another division in the Special Affairs Bureau, equal in rank to Kirigiri Shimizu.
However, she has another identity, as a beast person among the demi-humans, encountered by Li Xia at the customs store, playing the role of a slave with beast ears.
The so-called beast people do not have animal features, but in the process of evolution, they chose a different evolutionary direction to adapt to the environment, different from the human ancestors.
Their skeletons are larger, taller than humans, and both males and females have strong muscles. They are called beast people because they coexist with wild animals.
However, their evolutionary potential is obviously not as good as that of humans, but due to no reproductive isolation from humans, they quickly integrated into human society after humans entered the agricultural era, and were only seen as stronger humans.
For example, the person in front of her, Ryou, has already mixed blood for many generations. Besides being stronger than ordinary people, there are no obvious differences from humans like ghouls.
Purebred beast people have long ceased to exist. Of course, occasionally, traces of wild people living in places like the Yan Nation's Shennongjia are rumored to be purebred beast people, but nothing has been confirmed.
The Special Affairs Bureau manages demi-humans and naturally absorbs some demi-humans into the workforce. Ryou, as an existence between humans and demi-humans, is the best balance point, and many demi-humans look up to Ryou, so she and Kirigiri Shimizu have a natural competitive relationship.
Komachi Kurenai's gaze fell on Ryou, who was known for her enthusiastic and outgoing nature, unlike the cold and indifferent Kirigiri Shimizu.
With a proud and tall figure, Ryou's choice of attire revealed her wheat-colored waist, flat stomach, and beautifully shaped long legs, but it didn't give off a vulgar feeling. Her youthful and fit body was the epitome of feminine allure.
"Kurenai, have you considered switching teams?" Ryou bent down, leaning in close to her ear and whispered, "With me, you can experience a happiness that you won't find by sticking to that icy demeanor."
"Uh...sorry," Komachi Kurenai quickly dodged, her face turning slightly red. This seductive and bold captain was truly hard for her to resist.
Komachi Kurenai glanced at the captain and realized she was standing in the distance practicing her marksmanship, completely oblivious to what was happening here. This relieved her.
"Hehe, looks can be deceiving," Ryou smirked, looking at Kirigiri Shimizu in the distance. "I thought that person would end up alone, but little did I know she's ahead of everyone behind the scenes."
"Huh?" Komachi Kurenai originally wanted to leave, but was caught off guard by a single sentence from Ryou, leaving her dumbfounded and confused.
"Hey, stop pretending," Ryou said with a cheerful tone, reaching up to clean his ears. "Everyone in the bureau knows about Shimizu having a child. I never thought this guy would have a child at the age of twelve."
Ryou's smile gradually turned sinister. "It's hard to imagine what this cold person is like in bed."
"Erm..." Komachi Kurenai's mouth twitched a few times, but she remained silent. She decided to quickly walk away. Despite Ryou's good looks and mixed heritage, she was a loose cannon, constantly offending people with her unfiltered mouth and inappropriate topics.
When they fabricated an identity for Li Xia, they had made sure to cover their tracks so outsiders wouldn't discover any discrepancies. However, with so many modifications made, some scattered rumors might have leaked out. Rumors can grow out of proportion, and who knows how distorted they have become.
"Wait a minute," Ryou suddenly wore an expression of enlightenment. "I got it. This guy must have been hurt when she was young, which is why she's so cold-hearted."
Komachi Kurenai staggered and almost fell to the ground. She quickened her pace and continued to wait, who knows what incredible things she would hear.
"If I eat her son, she will definitely go crazy," Ryou licked her tongue, as if thinking of something fun.
Their own family's big cabbage had been stolen by the hated opponent. Just thinking about it made Ryou feel excited.
Komachi Kurenai also heard this sentence in her ear. She looked back at Ryou, who was over 1.8 meters tall. Obviously, she was not very serious about eating. She was just a drag, and with Ryou's personality, the young man would definitely be classified as being dominated by women. But as a little assistant, she dared not say much, and could only leave in a hurry.

At this time, in the cafeteria of University of Tokyo.
Li Xia knew nothing about what happened at the special bureau and was now in trouble.
"Team's short movie, Akane also wants to participate~" Akane looked excited, raising her hands high, looking at Li Xia expectantly: "Can Akane play the female lead? Akane will definitely not disappoint Xia."
"This is our class assignment, you are not my classmate," Li Xia waved his hand. He always felt that this short movie sounded less serious when it came out of Akane's mouth, so he added, "We are making a serious short film, not a short movie."
"Sure, why not~ The group project doesn't require anything special in terms of acting," Kiyoura Mai explained enthusiastically. "With Senior Akane's looks, if she plays the female lead, we'll definitely take first place."
"We?" Li Xia was taken aback, looking at Kiyoura Mai with a puzzled expression.
"Yes, you were looking for a group earlier in the morning, why not join us?" Kiyoura Mai said, pulling out a stack of printed scripts from her bag and handing them over.
Li Xia thought about Kirigiri Shimizu's threat and started reading the script.
The plot was simple, two high school girls who had feelings for each other and dated, but broke up due to societal pressure. In the following years of high school, the second girl dated more than ten boyfriends.
Finally, the two met again in college and realized that they were still the best for each other.
"What a crappy script!" Li Xia slammed the script on the table in frustration.
