Misaya's home is located in Suginami Ward, Tokyo. It takes about twenty minutes to take the train from school to Misaya's home, but according to Misaya's personality, she will never take the train.
Misaya's full name is Reilongkan Misaya. Although she is still young, she is already the head of the famous Reilongkan family and maintains the entire family.
Unlike the Shatiao family, the Linglongguan family is also among the best in the entire Far East and has its own strength in various fields.
Of course, part of the reason why Sajo Ayaka can become friends with Reilongkan Misaya is because they have parents.
Ten years ago, the owner of the Linglong Pavilion died unexpectedly, and the Linglong Pavilion family was on the verge of collapse. The legacy of the Linglong Pavilion owner and the young Linglong Pavilion Misaya were unable to control the huge business of the Linglong Pavilion.
At this moment, the head of the Shajo family, Shajo Hiroki, extended a helping hand to the Reilongkan family. After all, the former head of the Reilongkan family and the Shajo family were good friends. Out of morality, Shajo Hiroki did not just watch.
Watching Linglongguan's house be destroyed.
If it were the magicians of the Clock Tower, they would probably add insult to injury, and how could they possibly lend a helping hand? El-Melloi is the best example. The entire family was devoured just after the monarch died.
So Hiroki Shajo is not a qualified magician, and of course he never thinks that he is a qualified magician.
During this back and forth, Sayoko Ayaka and Reilongkan Misaya met each other and became each other's only close friends.

Linglongguan Residence is located in a quiet alley in a quiet residential area, occupying an entire street. If you look from the outside like inside, you can only see the lush black forest that surrounds the courtyard.
A fence wrapped with barbed wire surrounds the forest. The sharp metal thorns on the barbed wire show that this is not an obstacle that can be climbed over at will.
And this is just the most peripheral arrangement, mostly aimed at wandering adults and adventurous children.
In the eyes of Sajo Ayaka, a magician, she could feel the magical aura flickering on the fence, and magic such as expulsion was set up on it to make those who saw it less inclined to invade.
The forest inside is not a useless decoration, but a real second line of defense. Misaya once proudly introduced the layout inside to Sajo Ayaka.
Countless barriers were placed in the original Black Forest, almost making it a foreign land. It was more dangerous than a minefield full of landmines. It was equivalent to the liquid outer core of the planet's core, and the cosmic space was full of radiation.
And the sea of imaginary numbers that does not allow life to exist.
But in the incident ten years ago, this theoretically flawless barrier failed to protect the owner of Linglong Pavilion.
So later, Linglongkan Misaya made changes to its approach and added a layout similar to a [maze]. As long as someone breaks into the black forest, they will be trapped in it forever.
It can be said that the entire Linglong Hall Residence is a large defensive fortress that cannot be breached even by an entire army.
Of course, Sajo Ayaka didn't have to think about this. She came to the door of the Reilongkan mansion and pressed the doorbell.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for almost more than ten minutes, and when she lost her patience, the door in front of her slowly opened.
An old man in a straight black formal suit stood at the door, his snow-white beard and hair neatly combed, and his dark brown to almost black eyes were inevitably slightly cloudy due to the passage of time, but his sharp gaze was still intact.
He stared at Sajo Ayaka for a few seconds, as if confirming something, and then bowed slightly and said slowly,
"Good day, Miss Ayaka, what's the reason for your visit today?"
"Well... I'm here to see Misaya. Is she at home now?"
Although I know that this is the old-fashioned character of the housekeeper, I will never feel comfortable no matter how many times I am treated in such a formal manner.
Sajo Ayaka also told the butler many times that this was not necessary, but the butler always shook his head and refused, saying that as a butler, he could not forget his identity.
To be honest, although the old housekeeper was usually strict, today's old housekeeper gave her a special feeling. Although she couldn't explain it in words, this feeling made Sajo Ayaka very uncomfortable.
However, she lowered her eyes and kept the discomfort in her heart without showing it.
"You are here to see the head of the family. Well, the head of the house is indeed at home now."
The old housekeeper turned sideways and stretched out his arm in a guiding gesture.
Sajo Ayaka nodded, and then walked in. The old housekeeper was about half a step to her left and led her the way.
However, such behavior does not make much sense. Sajo Ayaka is as familiar with the Reilongkan family as she is with her own family. Even if she is blindfolded, she will not go the wrong way.
As soon as she entered the courtyard outside, she felt an inexplicable sense of oppression. The flow of magic power in her body slowed down, and her strength also evaporated very quickly. Before she walked more than ten meters, most of her body's energy had been consumed.
strength.
Seeing the strange behavior of Sajo Ayaka, the old housekeeper frowned and showed a confused expression, but this expression disappeared in an instant and replaced with his usual serious face.
"Miss Ayaka, take this and you will feel better."
He took out something the size of a coin from his pocket and handed it to Sajo Ayaka.
"This is……?"
Sajo Ayaka took the thing from the old housekeeper's hand and discovered that it was an exquisite amulet, exuding a faint heat in her hand.
Just when she held the amulet, the invisible suppressive power that bound her whole body suddenly disappeared, and the lost strength returned to her body, and her whole person seemed to become a little lighter.
"I'm really sorry, Miss Ayakashi, it was my lack of consideration."
The old housekeeper nodded slightly, apologetically in his words.
"Tokyo is not considered safe recently. Some rats have sneaked into the city, and there are many daring ones among them who are coveting the Linglong House. In order to guard against those guys, the owner has just strengthened the layout of the mansion, and has not yet had time to give you safe access.
permission."
"Ah - it's okay."
Sajo Ayaka waved her hands repeatedly, but she noticed another meaning in the old housekeeper's words.
"So how about Misaya? She must be injured, right?"
"How could those guys hurt the head of the family?"
The corners of the old housekeeper's mouth were slightly raised, as if he was smiling.
"And even if those guys want to hurt the head of the family, they have to step on my old bones first. Okay, Miss Ayakashi, please wait here for a while. The head of the house still has some things to deal with. She will be there after she has dealt with them.
