Chapter 201: The Shadow Of The Ghost-Faced Warrior

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

“Chief Editor, are you looking for me?” Takeshi Rena came to the office anxiously. She was recently recruited as an editor. Hence, she was not close to the Chief Editor.

Takeshi Rena’s mind was cluttered with numerous assumptions and thoughts while she headed over to the Chief Editor’s office. What should she do if the Chief Editor himself enforces “unspoken rules” on her? Should she scream for help or make a police report? Takeshi Rena had heard of people mentioning how perverts were prevalent in society. The trains were full of them, even companies too.

However, the Chief Editor was a well-mannered man in his forties. He also happened to have a family. There was no way he would do such a heinous act.

No, wait! What if he was planning to seek pleasure with the body of a young and attractive woman? Takeshi Rena was pretty confident of her own appearance.

The Chief Editor was clearly unaware that Takeshi Rena’s mind was in a flurry of thoughts. He said softly, “You are currently not handling any authors, right? I have a comic artist. Her pen name is Qingqiu, she had a few overdue manuscripts. I would like you to press her to be faster with her manuscripts.”

Phew!

Takeshi Rena let out a sigh of relief. She straightened her posture and said excitedly, “Consider it done.”

Seeing Takeshi Rena’s elated expression, the Chief Editor could not help but laugh, “Don’t be too sure of yourself just yet. The comic artist is just temporarily assigned to you.”

“That will not be a problem!” Even though Takeshi Rena was an editor, she had just started her job for no longer than three months. Furthermore, she was in her internship. Despite having the title of editor, she was actually a sub-editor. Her main task was to help with menial tasks assigned by other editors. Takeshi Rena would naturally be happy since she was given an important task.

“Here is the address, take it with you.” The Chief Editor waved his hand, “Now, please head to the stated address.”

After receiving the note from the table, Takeshi Rena responded and headed outside with delight.

Takeshi Rena started to open the note once she was outside the Chief Editor’s office. She glanced through the notes and let out a gasp. Takeshi Rena was astounded, “Oh my, Weier Apartment?!”

Dubbed as Japan’s Tomson Riviera, Weier Apartment was considered as the holy sanctuary of residential property to the Japanese. Takeshi Rena did not think that the Chief Editor had assigned her to obtain manuscripts from a comic artist who was staying at Weier Apartment… This seemed to be all a fantasy.

Would this be the story of a young person trying to live independently and work hard on his own? At the moment, he is struggling as a comic artist living on the street. When the time comes, will he return home to inherit millions worth of properties?

Takeshi Rena believed that she had met such a person!

Takeshi Rena’s heart was thrilled. If she was to marry a man of high society, she would have a comfortable life in the future.

With this thought, she left the company eagerly.

In an instant, she took the train and headed straight to Weier Road.

Weier Apartment was on Weier Road. This street was specifically meant to provide services to the residents of the Weier Apartment. Facilities such as supermarkets, cafes, playgrounds, schools and et cetera could be found on the street of Weier Road. Therefore, Weier Road was lively every day. Since it was an area occupied by the rich and famous, it would attract all types of people to come and look for opportunities.

In spite of that, Takeshi Rena knew her job scope. She was here to pressure the artist to hand in his manuscript. On the way here, she had thought hard and long about her job scope. The Chief Editor had known that obtaining manuscripts from a comic artist living in this area would be challenging. The person stayed in Weier Road. Hence, he must be someone famous.

Takeshi Rena’s thoughts overwhelmed her at this moment. In an instant, her face turned sorrowful as she has realized the reality that her main job was still handling menial tasks. Takeshi Rena would only be handling miscellaneous tasks while being here. She would not dare to use any brute force to ask the manuscripts from the comic artist.

Soon, Takeshi Rena arrived at the front gate of the Weier Apartment. Even though Weier Apartment was an apartment, the door at the south side was more like the entrance to the villa. The gates on the east, west, and north were the apartment area. Once she arrived on the east entrance, Takeshi Rena was stopped by the security guard.

Takeshi Rena showed her name card and identification card to the security guard. After that, she delivered the note with Kimura Kazuko’s cell phone number to the security guard…

The name Kimura Kazuko seemed familiar to Takeshi Rena. She had heard of this name before somewhere. Takeshi Rena guessed that she must have heard the name from the news. Perhaps she had forgotten about it?

The security guard quickly gave Takeshi Rena a visitor card after making a call. She needed to return the visitor card to the guards at the security room when she leaves the premises.

Takeshi Rena arrived at Kimura Kazuko’s unit shortly after that. No one had opened the door after Takeshi Rena rang the doorbell. She looked at the phone number on the notes and was hesitant. She did not dare to make a call… However, there was a long couch outside the door. Sitting on the sofa, Takeshi Rena was stunned and humbled.

When Kimura Kazuki arrived at Weier Apartment, he saw Takeshi Rena, who was sitting on the couch with a body posture resembling a dependent and weak chick… And when Kimura Kazuki saw her, her eyes widened… Because there was a shadow standing right behind her.

The shadow had a mask of a ghost face while wearing an ancient samurai uniform. It stood loyally beside Takeshi Rena.

A shikigami? Kimura Kazuki had come up with this assumption. However, she immediately denied it. Without thinking much, she quickly walked toward Takeshi Rena and asked softly, “You must be… Editor Takeshi?”

“Ah, yes, yes! I am!” Takeshi Rena was flustered. How could there be someone so beautiful, with a face resembling an elf? Once she heard Kimura Kazuki’s voice, her entire body went weak. In an instant, she felt as if she had become a homosexual woman instead of a heterosexual one.

A change in sexuality could happen in just one moment.

Kimura Kazuki nodded lightly. She was already used to people looking at her with adoration all the time. “Come with me,” she said while ignoring Takeshi Rena’s behavior. Still, Kimura Kazuki glanced at the ghost-faced warrior beside Takeshi Rena. The eyes of the ghost-face warrior were glowing red, his sight fixed at Kimura Kazuki. Kimura Kazuki knew the obvious. Any reckless move inflicted on Takeshi Rena, and he would attack Kimura Kazuki.

Kimura Kazuki was extremely clear about what was happening. The shadow of the ghost-faced warrior did not have a mind of its own. Takeshi Rena seemed not to be afraid although Kimura Kazuki had just released the suppression of the reiki… Obviously, she did not know who had assigned the ghost-faced warrior to protect Takeshi Rena.

Both of Takashi Rena’s eyes were staring straight at Kimura Kazuki. Although it was rude to do so, Takashi Rena could not restrain herself. Up till now, she was grateful for the Chief Editor. He gave her this opportunity to encounter a beautiful person. In terms of appearance, Kimura Kazuki would outshine any current actresses.

Once Takeshi Rena entered the room, her attention was slightly turned to the interior design of the room.

The room provided by the Ito family had an area of approximately 140 meters. It was considered as a medium-large type of apartment. Luxurious renovation, furniture, and electronic goods were all provided. Kimura Kazuki did not need to buy any of these herself.

As Takeshi Rena followed Kimura Kazuki in, she started to feel nervous. By looking at the interior design of the room, Takeshi Rena was reminded that she and Kimura Kazuki were people from different worlds.

“Please have a seat.” Kimura Kazuki was not astounded at all. Although this was her first time here, Kimura Kazuki had seen plenty of luxurious villas during her past life. She felt that this type of luxury was standard for her. The difference was the luxurious villa had belonged to someone else in her past life. Now, she owned a unit at Weier Apartment. She let out a sigh. She had always dreamed of having her own home while she was staying at the residence of the Furuhashi sisters. Now, her dream had become a reality.

Takeshi Rena, who was sitting on the sofa beside Kimura Kazuki, admired the comfort of the couch. She was beginning to feel anxious after looking at Kimura Kazuki.

Asking for manuscripts… As if! Takeshi Rena was speechless with the luxurious apartment. Her eyes darted from side to side occasionally, and she would glance at Kimura Kazuki’s face from time to time to admire her beauty.
