Episode 25: The Journey
On his way back to Japan, Aizakawa decided to take the train so he could relax. Just in case there were spies from Kagelapan around, he disguised himself as a girl to avoid being recognized.
Under the alias Sialet Violet, Aizakawa sat comfortably in his seat.
But suddenly, three mischievous men approached him and said,
> "All alone, miss?"
Aizakawa felt disgusted inside and thought,
> "Ugh… I'm a guy, not gay."
The men kept flirting,
> "Wanna go karaoke after we get off?"
Aizakawa refused, but one of them grabbed his hand.
He immediately released an intimidating aura and said quietly,
> "Let go."
The three men instantly froze in fear, and as soon as the train reached the next station, they ran off.
Aizakawa sighed,
> "So annoying… I'm a dude, for crying out loud. Whatever, time to hit the dining car."

Suddenly, Shion appeared and attacked the dining car, going straight for Aizakawa.
Aizakawa was confused—why was his own subordinate attacking him?
He used the nearby table, turning its metal screws and nails into thread-like lines, and hurled it at Shion, slamming her into another table.
Shion growled, but then suddenly sniffed Aizakawa's shoes and shouted,
> "Lord Aizakawa!!"
Aizakawa explained,
> "You see, the table didn't originally have threads. But since it had screws and nails, I could manipulate them and create a thread-control technique."
Shion broke free from the table trap and immediately jumped toward Aizakawa, hugging him tightly.
Aizakawa was shocked,
> "EHHHHH!!"
Her hug was so strong that Aizakawa was thrown backward and reverted to his male form.
The passengers who saw it started taking pictures, making Aizakawa even more annoyed.
> "Instead of helping, you guys are taking photos?!"
Eventually, people helped out, and Shion lifted Aizakawa above her head, smiling brightly.
Aizakawa asked,
> "How did you recognize me?"
Shion replied innocently,
> "By your scent, Master. I memorized your body's aroma… even the smell of your shoes."
Aizakawa thought to himself,
> "My shoes smell that bad, huh…?"
Then he asked,
> "Who told you to attack me?"
Shion replied,
> "Senior Akazone. He said to attack a girl named Sialet Violet."
Aizakawa had already suspected it and chuckled softly.
He then gave Shion an order,
> "In that case, continue your hunt for the enemy."
He opened the train window, and Shion leapt out, vanishing into the distance.

When the train arrived at Akirama Village Station, where Aizakawa and Mialethra lived,
Aizakawa noticed three people arguing nearby.
He walked closer and listened.
A young man named Saon shouted,
> "Miyuki, why were you walking with another guy? We're dating, aren't we? You cheated on me—on my birthday!"
Another guy, Shodo, retorted,
> "Hey, stop bothering my girlfriend, you creep. Let Miyuki decide! Me or you?"
Miyuki lowered her head and said softly,
> "I'm sorry, Saon…"
She chose Shodo, leaving Saon heartbroken as he walked away.
Aizakawa watched it all with a faint smile,
> "Looks like tomorrow's going to be interesting… Well, it's late. I should head home."
