"Welcome, may I help you with anything?" White Goodson opened the door with a standard smile, leading in the guest with a strong magical aura. Since this place used to be a grocery store before, the shelves near the entrance were still there, although they were empty.

White Goodson brought a chair over and gestured for the guest to sit down.

Back when the White family was still well-off, the guests were offered a seat on the couch, and then asked how they could be of assistance. The couch had been sold long ago, so White Goodson had to substitute a simple chair. Although it was just an ordinary wooden chair, it didn't diminish the guest's natural beauty at all; on the contrary, it added a unique charm.

"She's truly beautiful, and she looks young too, probably around the same age as Mirror Moons," White Goodson thought, while observing the serious-faced guest.

The guest was wearing a black spaghetti strap dress, with two flawless white legs exposed to the air. She wore a pair of black open-toed high-heeled shoes, making her look even taller, only slightly shorter than White Goodson.

"We both know each other's identities, so I'll get straight to the point," the girl said, pushing her glasses up and handing two photos to White Goodson.

"This..." White Goodson was speechless. The photos were of Kane and Nubi, both of whom he had personally taken care of.

"We suspect that there is a connection between you and these two deceased individuals." The girl said lightly, "To put it bluntly, we suspect that you are the killer of these two people."

"You, all of you?" White Goodson said with embarrassment.

"Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Schade, Schade Duckness. I am the vice-president of the Exorcist Guild."

That's right, this mysterious guest was none other than Schade, who had just left the detective agency. After hearing the story from Minamoto Heart, she immediately came to find White Goodson, the "suspect".

"Members of the Exorcist Guild, why do you suspect me? Where is the evidence?" White Goodson pretended to be serious and harmless.

"First, you have a connection with the rampaging dragon." Schade raised her index finger.

White Goodson's face stiffened.

"Second, you blocked a powerful attack with just a dagger." Schade raised her middle finger, now making a scissor motion.

White Goodson's hands trembled.

"Third, the murder weapon used to kill these two individuals was a dagger, and you and they were both seen in the back mountains of the town during the same period." Schade finally raised her ring finger, as if pronouncing a death sentence on White Goodson. A satisfied smile appeared on her face.

White Goodson swallowed hard, "How did you know?"

"The guild naturally has its ways." Schade beamed, folding her arms and her legs unconsciously crossing.

"A man in a trench coat told you, didn't he? That guy who calls himself a detective?" After contemplating for a moment, White Goodson focused his suspicions on Minamoto Heart. Although Chi Xiaozhu had also told him that she was a member of the guild, she was still unconscious when he protected her from harm, so it was unlikely that she could have brought up the second suspicion.

"How do you know!?" Schade anxiously straightened her legs, her body slightly turned, her face showing signs of agitation with a hint of redness.

-The vice-president is so easily flustered, this guild is doomed...

"Cough cough, now that you know, there's nothing I can do. Let's continue discussing the topic from earlier. Regarding those three suspicions, do you have any explanations?" Schade coughed twice, forcibly switching into work mode, and asked earnestly.

"Just look at my weak magical aura, how could I possibly kill those two men?" White Goodson continued his crafty defense, his emitted magical aura always being the best excuse."That's hard to say. Maybe you are an Exorcist with the 'Demon-Banishing Constitution'? Those guys are all born Reapers, with an E-grade Exorcist who possesses the Demon-Banishing Constitution, it's not impossible to take down an A-grade Exorcist." Schade said reasonably, causing White Goodson to feel a great headache.

The "Demon-Banishing Constitution" refers to a person who possesses significant restraint towards Exorcists. Due to the difference between the magic power of Exorcists and demons, the Demon-Banishing Constitution is ineffective against demons but has restraining abilities against Exorcists. There has always been a phenomenon of Exorcists killing each other, and Exorcists with the Demon-Banishing Constitution often have a unique advantage, making them stand out among the ranks of Reapers.

Because the "Demon-Banishing Constitution" is only effective against Exorcists, there is a big difference between that and White Goodson's demon-banishing ability.

"But the Demon-Banishing Constitution is ineffective against demons, so how did you defend against that demon's attack..." Schade knew the attributes of the Demon-Banishing Constitution well. Although he did not rule out the possibility that the young man with the messy hair in front of him possessed the Demon-Banishing Constitution, it still didn't make sense logically. It was impossible for him to block the breath of that dragon demon.

As Schade contemplated, White Goodson's heart was on edge. Although he didn't have a deep understanding of the Exorcist Guild, he knew one thing.

The Exorcist Guild has two ways of dealing with guilty Exorcists.

The first is to eliminate them.

The second is to impose fines.

It is naturally impossible to eliminate White Goodson, he had absolute confidence in that, but the fines were a headache.

"Oh, I see now." Schade suddenly realized, "It must have been the senior's help. Really, he's so humble that he won't even tell me when he's done something commendable."

- Huh?

"No, no, that attack was definitely..." White Goodson couldn't bear it anymore. That attack was clearly blocked by himself. It had nothing to do with Minamoto Heart.

But just as he was about to finish his sentence, White Goodson dared not continue. It was necessary to act dumb sometimes, but if he acted dumb, trouble would arise. If he admitted that he blocked the attack himself, it would mean exposing his abilities, and exposing his abilities would mean a potential exposure of his identity.

After weighing his options, White Goodson decided not to act dumb.

"He did help out, sword sheath turned into a shield. It was really cool!" White Goodson confidently made up a story.

"Yeah, yeah, that's what I thought too!" Hearing White Goodson's description of Minamoto Heart's technique, she immediately believed and even showed an admiring expression.

White Goodson suddenly realized how lucky he was to have taken an extra glance at the transformed scabbard out of curiosity.

"But when it comes to being awesome, the senior is still slightly inferior to the male god." Schade cupped her cheeks with her hands, looking like a fangirl.

"Male god?" White Goodson instinctively asked.

"White Amaterasu! The number one Exorcist! Do you know him? Half of the girls in the guild admire him!" Schade said infatuatedly.

White Goodson twitched as he looked at Schade, thinking that the guild was definitely going to be in trouble...

"Ahem, sorry for my outburst." Schade realized she had gone too far after seeing White Goodson twitch, and immediately switched to a serious expression as the vice-president.

Anyway, this is a low-level Exorcist who hasn't even entered the guild. Even if the vice-president's authoritative image collapses in front of him, it doesn't matter, right? Schade thought to himself.

"Continuing from our previous topic, do you have anything to argue about the killings of those two people?" Schade continued to ask, but when she saw the person behind White Goodson, her whole face stiffened."I really don't have any anti-demon physique." White Goodson pretended to be impatient and casually placed two photos on the table behind him.

"Hey, aren't these the two scumbags who wanted to harm me?" Mirror Moon's voice suddenly sounded coldly, startling White Goodson. He turned around and saw Mirror Moons picking up the two photos.

"Ah, luckily we had the master's help at that time; otherwise, with Dulu's temperament, we would have been killed long ago," Mirror Moons said with a smile, then pointed to Schade and asked, "Master, who is this human?"

"Are you the demonic dragon?! The culprit behind the anomaly occurrence!" Schade looked at the horns, dragon wings, and the swaying tail behind, suddenly stood up from the chair, releasing a massive surge of dark energy.

"Calm down, Vice President Miss!" White Goodson stood between the two.

"Vice President? Are you someone from that guild? It's you who wanted to harm me and Dulu!" Mirror Moons in her Codoon form was not as gentle as Dulu. Her extroverted personality made her want to fight at the slightest provocation.

"Can you calm down a bit, Double Moon!" White Goodson was getting a headache.

"You even know the codename Double Moon, and considering what she just said, it seems that you are really the murderer! Tell me! What is the relationship between you two, and what is your motive!" Schade pointed the spearhead at White Goodson again.

"No, I and her..." White Goodson didn't finish his sentence when Mirror Moons hugged his neck from behind.

"Hmph, I am the master's most outstanding slave!" Mirror Moons proudly declared.

"Sl...slave!?" Schade's face turned red, and a pile of indescribable scenes appeared in her mind. Her eyes seemed to be spinning, and she was about to faint.

"Please study the knowledge of this world before speaking! The word 'slave' is not used like this!" White Goodson roared, "We are not in that kind of relationship!"

"What kind of relationship are you then!?" Schade was starting to lose her composure. Her chaotic dark energy, which was at least A-level, might explode if it lost control, completely destroying White Goodson's home.

White Goodson desperately needed a formal excuse to stabilize Schade's emotions.

"She!" White Goodson gritted his teeth and hugged Mirror Moons tightly in his arms, loudly proclaiming as if reciting some sacred words, "She is my sister!"

As he said those words, White Goodson happened to see White Rosa walking out of the house.

Their eyes met, and an awkward atmosphere flowed in the quiet air.

"You...stupid...brother! Pervert! Monster! Pervert!" White Rosa obviously heard White Goodson's heroic speech just now. Her cute face turned bright red, and she threw a shoe from the entrance at his head before covering her face and running back inside.

"And...who is that girl?" Schade's mind was overwhelmed by the influx of information and was starting to get confused.

"She is my real sister," White Goodson explained honestly.

"She's a human, then what about this dragon?" Schade continued to ask.

At this point, no matter what, White Goodson couldn't turn back. So he decisively held onto Mirror Moons, assuming a brave expression and said, "Even if it's a monster, as long as there is love, can't it become a sister?"
