-1074- Lion King Dating Agency

- "Endo Yukari."

"This name, I think I've heard Natsuki-nee mention it before."

Rozen gazed at the black cat in front of him, as if finally remembering something, and spoke with a smile.

"That's the name of Lion King Agency's special instructor. Endo Yukari has numerous disciples within the agency and is highly regarded by the Three Saints as a distinguished mentor of the new generation. With magical expertise surpassing even the Three Saints, Endo Yukari is considered at the pinnacle of magic, jujutsu, and shamanism. While not unbeatable, she ranks just below the Three Saints in both strength and status within the agency. Am I right?"

Rozen accurately revealed the information about Endo Yukari.

"Ho?" Yukari Endo seemed somewhat surprised. "I didn't expect the Witch of the Void to hold such a high opinion of me. I'm truly humbled."

"Can't be helped. Natsuki-nee is more wary of you than she is of the Attack Mages like the Three Saints," Rozen replied honestly. "After all, with Natsuki-nee's power, she's not afraid of even the Three Saints, but your type doesn't sit well with her."

In terms of strength, Yukari Endo might fall short of the strongest Attack Mages like the Three Saints, but her mastery of magic, jujutsu, and shamanism makes the witch, who relies on magic and contracts to fight, quite wary.

After all, if someone can unravel Natsuki's space manipulation magic, her power diminishes significantly. And if someone understands the witch's contracts well, they can even neutralize her guardians, stripping her of her greatest reliance.

In this way, Natsuki would have little chance against them. Therefore, someone like Yukari Endo, with such high magical expertise, is extremely incompatible for those who rely on clever tricks in combat.

Rozen, being of the same type, could understand why Natsuki is wary of Yukari Endo, and it's not without reason.

If it weren't for the fact that the Three Saints all come from families with extremely special abilities, making their strength innate, within the Lion King Agency, Yukari Endo would undoubtedly be the strongest.

For someone like her, it's impossible not to have a high reputation.

Of course...

"You overestimate me. I'm not as powerful as you think," Yukari Endo said meaningfully. "At least, I don't have the ability to seal the Fourth Primogenitor within me and move freely without any restraint, completely unaffected, like you do."

These words should resonate with many people, right?

Including Yukina, who was listening on the side, thinks the same.

The fact that Rozen was able to seal the Fourth Primogenitor within him without any mistakes, is believed to be shocking to everyone in the world. It's akin to stuffing a ball of magma into one's body, and the implications of how terrifying that could be are evident. Rozen not only achieved it but also remained completely unaffected, not incinerated.

Such ability, even the strongest magical prodigies wouldn't dare claim they could accomplish it.

"But precisely because of this, many people are on edge," Yukari Endo suddenly changed her tone. "They're afraid that this ball of magma might lose control at any moment, turning into a volcanic eruption, or that it might appear in a dense crowd at any time. An invisible volcano erupting would be unacceptable to those around it."

Yukari Endo's implications didn't need to be explicitly stated.

"So, as a national intelligence agency, you must take action against this potential danger that could erupt in a crowd at any time, such as assigning someone to keep an eye on it or controlling it when necessary, or even eliminating it in advance, right?"

Rozen said this indifferently, showing no obvious change in demeanor.

This made Yukina involuntarily tense.

However, the next moment, that tension dissipated.

"Doesn't Himeragi Yukina fit your interests?" Endo Yukari said casually. "Don't let her appearance fool you; she's actually a typical teenage girl. She may seem serious most of the time, but she secretly hides a cat plushie in her closet. Then, in the middle of the night, when her roommates are asleep, she takes it out and hugs it while giggling. Isn't that cute?"

"Uh..." Rozen was left speechless.

"M-Master!" Yukina's face flushed red as she exclaimed, "Why do you know about that...!?"

"What? Did you think nobody knew?" Endo Yukari shrugged. "Your roommate, Kirisaka, has been eagerly awaiting that scene every night and even captured it all on camera, treating it like treasure. I was just curious how Kirisaka managed to set such a deadly defense curse in her own closet, so I broke the curse and found that album a few times. Here's one of the pictures. Do you want to see?"

With that, Yukari Endo actually produced a photo.

In the picture, Yukina was holding a cat plushie in the dimly lit dorm room, with a blissful smile on her face.

But that wasn't the focal point.

The focus was that Yukina was almost naked in the photo, wearing only her underwear, and nearly everything that shouldn't be seen was exposed.

"Clang!"

In the antique shop, a silver light suddenly flashed, cutting the photo in half.

"~~~~~~~~!"

Yukina, holding the silver spear, turned completely red, filled with shame, embarrassment, and anger.

With such an expression, Yukina turned her head and looked at Rozen.

In her eyes, real killing intent leaked out.

"...Did you see it?" Yukina asked in a ghostly whisper.

"Heheh..." Rozen chuckled awkwardly, unable to do anything else.

It was Endo Yukari who continued, paying no heed to the atmosphere on the scene.

"If you find this girl unsuitable, there are many other options here. Although these people can't use the Mechanical Demon-Purging Assault Spear Mark Seven like Yukina, there are other weapons in the Lion King Agency to deal with enemies at the Primogenitor level. Would you like to choose one of them as your monitor?"

Endo Yukari took out a file, filled with headshots of the Lion King Agency's monitors.

And for some reason, all these monitors were female, and even their measurements were marked.

Endo Yukari enthusiastically introduced them one by one, like a marriage broker.

As Rozen and Yukina struggled to react, it wasn't until a while later that Rozen's mouth twitched.

"Enough! Do you think this is a human trafficking operation?" Rozen couldn't help but retort.

"Master..." Yukina's expression was complicated.

"What? Are you not satisfied? Should I go back and find you another batch?" Endo Yukari said cheerfully.

This made Rozen start to become impatient.
