[164] Welcome to my paradise!

"Not a Mystic Eyes user." The woman with belts winding around her eyes slowly lifted one of the belts near her eye, looking at the wall beside her as if she could see through it, just like she had a glimpse of Kurokawa Kazuya sitting somewhere. She made her judgment in this way.

Afterward, she returned the leather to its original position.

Despite her peculiar attire, everyone around completely ignored her.

"So, do you want to retract the invitation?"

"No need." The woman looked at the stage in front and said, "Even though he's not a Mystic Eyes user, he can still be a customer. Just by looking at this building, you can tell. And according to our previous investigation, he hasn't taken out any loans from any banks. In other words, even if it's several billion dollars, he doesn't need to worry about it. As for the source of his money, whether it's clean or not, it doesn't matter as long as it proves this point. Moreover... he is not an ordinary person unrelated to magecraft."

"How so?" The person beside her asked. This woman holds a high position in "Mystic Eyes Collection Train," but currently, it's not the departure time for the "Mystic Eyes Collection Train," so she can come out and move around a bit, judging certain things. And her eyes are high-level Mystic Eyes.

The leather around her eyes is also a kind of Mystic Eyes Killer. It not only limits the ability of her Mystic Eyes but also serves as a defense against other Mystic Eyes.

"He has a Mystic Eyes Killer on his hands, and it's quite advanced. That should be the highest grade that money can buy." The woman continued, "Even my Mystic Eyes feel a bit strained when trying to see his situation."

"I see..." The man beside her, like a servant, thought for a moment. "The highest-grade Mystic Eyes Killers on the market can cost over a hundred million dollars. If he's prepared to get something like this... does it mean buying Mystic Eyes might cost even more..."

The woman nodded. "Exactly. Although there are higher-grade Mystic Eyes Killers above the ones we can buy, that's already the deepest secret hidden by a magus family. It's not something money can easily obtain... Even we only have two left, left behind by the manager. Alright, let's go... no, it seems the master is here to receive us."

"Excuse me, madam." A staff member approached and said, "Mr. Kurokawa Kazuya would like to invite you upstairs. How about it?"

"Alright, lead the way."

A few minutes ago...

"It's about to start, huh." Kazuya said, looking at Shiki beside him. "You look cute with glasses."

"Don't say such boring things..." Shiki sighed as she looked at the gift Kazuya gave her. "I really don't need to wear glasses, right? I don't have any nearsightedness or anything..."

"Well, this thing is a Mystic Eyes Killer, so it should be somewhat useful."

"Mystic Eyes Killer..." Shiki said as she took off her glasses, looking at the glasses and necklace in her hand. After a while, she seemed to sense something and put the glasses back on. "Speaking of Mystic Eyes, I feel like someone is looking over here."

"Ah... who is it?" Kazuya walked to a glass beside him. From here, he could see the stage as if in a dark room, but the people in the back were not very clear due to the dim lighting.

"That." Shiki pointed to a person in the crowd and said, "I feel like she's looking at me."

"Hmm..." Kazuya looked carefully and examined her face.

It was a woman.

With boyish short hair and a model-like figure, and at the position where glasses should be... something was coiled around it, not very clear from here. However, it didn't seem to affect her actions at all.

"So... she's probably a magus, right?"

Kazuya was somewhat uncertain. This image felt very familiar to him, as if he had seen it somewhere...

It should be a portrayal of a magus from one of the Type-Moon worlds.

"Hey, what about inviting her up?" Shiki thought for a moment and said, "She seems to be a Mystic Eyes user. Come on, let's experiment with the Mystic Eyes Killer you gave me. How effective is it?"

"Let's forget about it. After all, she's a magus. If something dangerous happens, I'd rather not know." Kazuya shook his head. If it were just him, he might have invited her up, but Shiki is here, and he wouldn't want to expose her to any danger.

"You actually want her to come up, don't you?" Shiki got off the chair, smiling. "You also want to see the magus's techniques, right? Well, so do I. I want to see if she's worth killing."

"Hmm..." Kazuya bit his lip, touching his gloved left hand where three Command Spells were.

"Alright, let's just invite her up, but I won't guarantee she'll come." Saying this, Kazuya signaled to the staff, pointing to the woman below. "Please bring that lady up for me, but if she refuses, let it be."

"Yes, I understand."

Kazuya sat back down. "But why do you want to see her?" he asked, somewhat curious.

"Nothing, I just want to see what a magus is like in reality." Shiki took two steps back and sat on the chair next to Kazuya.

This was the special seat in the hall specially made by Kazuya. From here, they could see outside, while from outside, the interior was not visible, a commonly used type of glass.

After all, events like this weren't a one-time thing.

There would be various events afterward.

With cheers from outside and the opening theme song of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" Part 1 playing on the big screen, the event officially began.

Kazuya waited for the magus to arrive, and in the meantime, he finally figured out who that person might be.

Considering the magus's attire, he thought about it carefully and had two figures in mind.

One was 2B from the game "NieR: Automata," and the other was "Leandra," the host of the "Mystic Eyes Collection Train" in the El-Melloi II Case Files.

Now thinking about it, that woman should be "Leandra."

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

"Kurokawa-san, they're here."

"Ah, let them in."

The next moment, two people walked in.

Kazuya and Shiki turned their gaze towards them.

The two people who entered, the one in front was the woman with belts around her eyes, and the one behind was a slender man.

"Welcome to my paradise." Kazuya stood up and smiled. "So... what brings you here?"
