Before today, White Yasha had always known that Lin Que's thought process was a bit unusual.
However, she could understand it; after all, strong individuals were bound to be different.
She was like that, Algol was like that, the Halloween Queen and even the gods and Buddhas of the heavens were like that.
Even if his thought process was a bit peculiar, his personality a bit nasty, and he acted a bit recklessly at times.
But in White Yasha's opinion, Lin Que was at least someone she could communicate with normally.
Yet today, White Yasha's notion was shattered.
God, Leticia's mother cheated?
"Boy, do you even know what you're saying?!"
Snap~!
The innocent folding fan was snapped in half by the out-of-control White Yasha, falling to the ground in two pieces.
White Yasha raised her fair, tender hand and forcefully slapped the table in front of her twice, making a loud thudding sound.
"How about I convey your words to Leticia for you, so she can see her master's true colors!"
"Cough, cough~ Don't get excited, I was just joking."
Lin Que, who didn't expect White Yasha to react so strongly, waved his hand, a smile appearing on his face.
"And don't you think my guess is quite reasonable?"
"Reasonable my ass!"
White Yasha replied, "Leticia's Gift is called [Pure Vampire Princess]. If she were a hybrid, do you think she'd be called that?"
"No?"
Lin Que tilted his head: "As long as…"
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Even though Lin Que hadn't spoken yet, White Yasha had already guessed what he was about to say and hurriedly interrupted his rather inappropriate remarks.
"Let me be direct: Leticia's race is pure-blooded vampire. Her mother and father are also very much in love and there was no cheating."
"Your guess is baseless and wrong!"
"I see."
Lin Que thoughtfully stroked his chin, a pensive look on his face.
"If that's the case, then there's only one answer."
"Currently, the vampire race in Hakoniwa evolved from humans."
"It seems your brain hasn't completely broken down yet."
White Yasha finally calmed down: "That's right, just as you guessed, the vampire race in Hakoniwa evolved from humans."
"Of course, I'm not at liberty to discuss the specific reasons; you just need to know this result."
"Evolved from humans… I understand."
After processing the news, Lin Que's expression remained unchanged.
After all, whether Leticia was human or a vampire had no impact on him.
As long as his little maid didn't turn into Cthulhu, everything would be fine.
"By the way, why are you telling me such a secret? Are you perhaps trying to get me to help with something?"
"There is indeed a request."
White Yasha said, "I want to learn more about the race that requires that blue spider lily."
"You take me there or give me the coordinates, and I can pay you with a divine core."
"You want to see Kibutsuji Muzan?"
Lin Que raised an eyebrow: "That might be a bit late; I've already killed him, and his subordinates have also evaporated."
"Dead?"
White Yasha was stunned, her expression turning somewhat regretful: "Then there's no way. It seems I don't have that luck."
"You don't have to be so disappointed."
After silently observing White Yasha's reaction, Lin Que suddenly spoke.
"Although I've killed the demons in that world, I've figured out why the Demon King appeared."
"As long as I can gather enough materials, I can recreate that race at any time."
White Yasha: "?"
This guy must be doing it on purpose.
He had to wait until she was disappointed before speaking.
Her two small hands intertwined and squeezed, White Yasha felt an itch to hit someone.
"Here."
Seemingly oblivious to White Yasha's subtle movements, Lin Que casually retrieved a piece of paper covered in writing and a small pouch from his Gift Card.
"This is the recipe for the [Evolution Potion], the potion I mentioned earlier that caused that race to appear."
"As for the contents of the pouch, those are the materials needed to concoct the [Evolution Potion]."
The recipe was obtained by Lin Que from Kibutsuji Muzan.
As for the medicinal herbs in the small pouch, Butterfly Kanae had collected them in the Demon Slayer World a few days ago and sent them via a red envelope.
Lin Que had originally planned to make a potion to see its effects after returning this time, but since White Yasha needed it, he might as well give it to her first.
After all, maintaining a good relationship with her would make many things more convenient.
On the other side, White Yasha was stunned upon hearing Lin Que's words.
"Potion?"
She had heard Lin Que mention materials before and thought he was talking about setting up a magic circle or something similar.
She never expected that the race change would be achieved through a potion.
Without taking the recipe first, White Yasha took the material pouch and peered inside.
As a living history of Hakoniwa, White Yasha was well-informed and easily recognized the value of these materials.
"They all seem to be ordinary medicinal herbs; only the blue spider lily you gave me is a bit special."
"Yes, the materials are all ordinary."
Lin Que replied, "However, the Evolution Potion made from these ordinary medicinal herbs can give ordinary people strength in the seven or even six digits."
White Yasha mused, "Then the value of this potion is quite high."
Compared to the value of these materials, the effect of this potion was far superior.
By simply expending a little effort to cultivate these medicinal herbs, one could continuously produce the [Evolution Potion].
Since it was a self-strengthening potion, its popularity in the market would inevitably be higher than that of equipment-type Gift potions.
With time, the total value generated by this recipe would probably be higher than the divine core she gave away.
"At a time like this, you're surprisingly generous."
Although she confirmed the high value of the Evolution Potion, White Yasha did not stop there.
From her willingness to offer a divine core as compensation, it was clear how much White Yasha cared about the Evolution Potion and the race that evolved after drinking it.
She took the recipe, put it away along with the material pouch, and then looked at Lin Que again.
"Interested in becoming a [Regional Controller]?"
"[Regional Controller]?"
Lin Que looked over: "Of course, I'm interested."
If an Outer Gate Controller manages the public order of a certain Outer Gate.
Then a Regional Controller controls an area composed of several, or even dozens, of Outer Gates.
In terms of power specifications, a Regional Controller is a superior position to an Outer Gate Controller.
Whether it's the benefits gained or the spread of the Community's reputation, it's several times that of an Outer Gate Controller.
However...
"Nameless currently has so few people; becoming a Regional Controller might make it difficult to manage."
"That won't be an issue. Minor, unimportant matters are usually handled by others."
"It's enough for you, as the Regional Controller, to step in when certain major problems arise."
White Yasha casually pointed her finger in mid-air, and a golden glowing parchment appeared before Lin Que.
"This lists the Outer Gates in the vicinity of the Tory Tunis Falls area, including the 2105380 Outer Gate where Nameless is currently located."
"Although they are all seven-digit Outer Gates, there are many of them, and usually nothing major happens. If you're interested, I'll hand it over to you to manage."
"However, there's one thing I must say in advance: as a Regional Controller, in addition to enjoying benefits, you must also bear responsibilities."
"I don't ask you to do anything, but at the very least, you can't cause trouble indiscriminately like you did with Perseus."
"That's pure slander! I've always been law-abiding."
Lin Que looked at the young girl who hadn't spoken much: "Wouldn't you say so, Akame?"
Akame paused, then slightly recalled Lin Que's behavior in the palace three days prior: "Hmm… he should be relatively law-abiding, right?"
"Pfft haha~! Even your own subordinate doesn't believe your nonsense!"
Hearing Akame's reply, which had three hesitations in one sentence, White Yasha couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Not bad, not bad. Although she's a subordinate Lin Que recruited, she's quite honest. Is there anything you want?"
"Something I want?"
Akame, who didn't expect such a development, was stunned for a moment, then replied: "I want something that can help Kurome recover her body."
"Let me think… your sister's body problems are due to overdrawn vitality, right? Then take this."
Searching through her Gift Cards, White Yasha pulled out a glowing emerald green leaf and handed it to Kurome, who was sitting on the other side.
"This is a leaf from the Norse World Tree. I picked a few when I was wandering around Odin's place back then."
"As long as you carry it close to your body for a long time, it can change your constitution, heal injuries, and replenish vitality."
"Go back and make it into a pendant to wear. It's more than enough to solve your problem."
"Kurome, hurry up and take it."
Seeing Kurome still not reacting, Lin Que reminded her.
"This is a great opportunity to fleece a big spender, don't hesitate."
White Yasha gave him an annoyed look: "Can't you use more formal terms, kid? This is clearly praise for an honest person."
Akame's face showed gratitude: "Thank you, White Yasha-daren."
Kurome also came to her senses and echoed: "Thank you, White Yasha-daren."
"If you want to thank me, come play at Thousand Eyes more often."
White Yasha pulled out a new folding fan and waved it: "Ever since Lin Que came, Black Rabbit hardly ever comes over anymore."
"It's very boring staying alone normally."
Lin Que glanced at her: "Then you can come play at Nameless. I don't mind."
Coming a few more times would also make it easier for him to spread rumors, for example, that White Yasha and Nameless have an unknown connection.
"Do you think I can't see through your little schemes?"
White Yasha didn't fall for it and changed the subject.
"You said Nameless was short on people earlier, right? Do you need me to send you a subordinate?"
