"Hell Correspondence?"
A flash of surprise crossed Lynn's eyes.
"That's right!"
Iwanaga Kotoko nodded, her expression serious. "It's a hell website that only appears at twelve midnight!"
"Once someone filled with resentment writes down the name of the person they hate, Hell Girl will appear and send them to hell!"
Listening to Iwanaga Kotoko's explanation, Lynn felt this premise sounded increasingly familiar.
Hell Girl, huh...
Come to think of it...
This world truly does have a hell...
"So..."
Lynn tapped the table. "What do you want to commission?"
Iwanaga Kotoko smiled slightly. "Could I trouble the Devil King to deal with this website?"
"Oh?"
"I can deal with it..."
Lynn's eyes held a playful glint. "But, this falls outside the scope of school matters, doesn't it?"
Iwanaga Kotoko was taken aback.
Lynn continued, "The Supernatural Investigation Club doesn't accept off-campus commissions for free, you know~"
Iwanaga Kotoko pursed her lips, then sighed. "Then..."
"What does the Devil King require?"
Lynn brought out the price list he had prepared earlier.
Iwanaga Kotoko's attention was immediately drawn to it, and she read it aloud.
"Low-class Devil: five million yen."
"Middle-Level Demon: fifty million, High-Class Devil: five hundred million..."
The further she read, the more her eyelids twitched.
"Top-tier: five billion..."
"Devil King... fees based on circumstances?"
Seeing this, Iwanaga Kotoko was clearly stunned for a moment, then said in disbelief, "You... you can actually get the Devil King to take action?!"
Lynn shrugged. "Well, have you decided what level of devil to hire?"
Iwanaga Kotoko fell silent.
Honestly, she had no concept of the power level of each rank.
She also wasn't clear on Hell Girl's strength.
So...
"I'd better trouble Lord Lynn to recommend one."
She decisively handed it over to the professional.
Lynn rubbed his chin.
Although Hell Girl sounds intimidating, it's not certain how strong she really is.
It's highly likely a High-Class Devil could handle it, right?
But...
To be honest, Lynn was very interested in Hell Girl.
If he were to recruit her into his peerage, what kind of devil would she reincarnate into?
Lynn felt a bit of anticipation, then smiled at Iwanaga Kotoko. "I recommend you hire the Devil King."
"?"
Iwanaga Kotoko's nerves jumped sharply. "Heh heh..."
"Lord Lynn, you..."
"Are you sure I can afford the Devil King?"
Iwanaga Kotoko's eyes landed back on that line of the price list.
Fees based on circumstances...
Iwanaga Kotoko reasonably suspected that the so-called Devil King would demand an exorbitant price!
"Rest assured, the situation is special this time."
Lynn gave her a reassuring look and continued, "The Devil King is very interested in Hell Girl, so he won't charge you too much."
Iwanaga Kotoko: "?"
She suddenly looked around, surprised. "I only just came to make the commission, and the Devil King already knows?"
"Could it be..."
"Is the Devil King in the Supernatural Investigation Club?"
Her eyes darted around, but besides Lynn and the white-haired dog near her table, she couldn't see anyone else at all.
Iwanaga Kotoko fixed her gaze on the white-haired dog, and in return, received a look from Lingyue Fairy that seemed to say she was an idiot.
Hmm...
It probably isn't it.
Iwanaga Kotoko silently averted her gaze, then looked at the smiling Lynn.
Her eye twitched violently. "C-could it be..."
Lynn smiled and nodded. "That's right, it's me."
Crash—
Iwanaga Kotoko was so startled that she stood up from her chair abruptly, but she stood up too quickly and her vision went black.
The cane in her hand slipped, clattering onto the floor.
Her legs went weak, and she was about to fall to the ground.
Suddenly.
Her delicate little hand was grabbed by a large hand, and under the pull of that strength, she steadied herself again.
Iwanaga Kotoko was slightly dazed, then performed a curtsy. "My apologies, hearing about your status as the Devil King, I was momentarily shocked."
She calmed down on the surface, but her heart couldn't settle down at all.
A Devil King, actually at Shuchiin Academy?
And a student at that?!
She clicked her tongue inwardly, thinking, "Could this be the Devil King's twisted hobby?"
"How about it, have you decided whether to hire me or not?"
Iwanaga Kotoko forced a smile. "O-of course..."
Since he said he was interested, did she dare to refuse?
Iwanaga Kotoko wanted to cry but had no tears, immediately thinking of the fate of Isayama Yomi earlier.
She had a feeling she was about to be in for it...
"Good, then let's set off."
Lynn stood up.
"Eh?"
Iwanaga Kotoko recovered from the grief of her impending 'loss of virtue' and said, "Devil King, Hell Correspondence only appears at twelve o'clock."
Lynn nodded. "I know."
"But..."
Lynn gave her a strange look. "Do you think either of us has someone we resent?"
"Uh..."
Iwanaga Kotoko's expression stiffened.
That, that is true...
People without resentment cannot see Hell Correspondence.
"Then we..."
