Chapter 47: The First Servant (Seeking Votes, Seeking Collections)

Although it seemed like Haruaki Suzuki spent a considerable amount of time absorbing those assassination memories, the process actually took only a few short seconds and failed to arouse any suspicion from Tamahana Kurosaki.

Tamahana Kurosaki walked up to the short-haired beauty, checked her breathing with her finger, and sighed with relief, "Young Master, she isn't dead, just knocked out."

"Then hurry up and call Uncle Ryuichi to come help, and let's send this big sister to the hospital!"

"Understood."

Upon receiving the call from Tamahana Kurosaki, Ryuichi Inoue, who was nearby, rushed over promptly. He picked up the unconscious short-haired beauty, placed her in the van, and drove toward a nearby hospital.

After a thorough examination, the doctor informed Haruaki Suzuki and the others that Maya Oki did not sustain any serious external injuries. However, it was suspected that she had suffered a blow to the head, which could potentially cause temporary amnesia.

To be safe, the doctor suggested that Maya Oki stay in the hospital for a couple of days of observation. If her memory did not return naturally by then, they could explore other options.

Hearing the doctor's words, Haruaki Suzuki directly instructed Tamahana Kurosaki to arrange a VIP single room so that Maya Oki could stay temporarily.

Changing into a blue and white hospital gown, Maya Oki sat obediently on the hospital bed, her gaze appearing somewhat vacant.

Due to the impact to her head, Maya Oki could not even remember her own surname at the moment; she only knew that her name was Maya.

"Sister Maya, perhaps I have a way to help you recover your memory. Would you like to try it?" Haruaki Suzuki leaned against the bedside, speaking in a youthful, childish voice.

Hearing this, Maya Oki instinctively looked down at Haruaki Suzuki, offering a faint smile, "Haruaki, then I'll have to trouble you~"

The corners of Haruaki Suzuki's mouth curved slightly upward. He drew an antique parchment from his inner pocket and handed it to Maya Oki.

The parchment was covered with dense and peculiar patterns. Right at the very center of these strange patterns were four blank circles.

The largest circle was located dead center, while the other three smaller circles formed a triangle, evenly distributed around the middle of the large circle.

Amidst Maya Oki's somewhat astonished gaze, Haruaki Suzuki suddenly produced an embroidery needle, pricked his own finger, and squeezed a drop of fresh blood onto the central circle.

The moment Haruaki Suzuki's blood touched the parchment, it was instantly absorbed. Immediately following that, a blood-red chain of runes spread outward from the large circle, tightly binding the small circle directly above it.

"Sister Maya, next, as long as you drop your own blood into this small circle, your memory should be restored." With those words, Haruaki Suzuki handed the embroidery needle to Maya Oki.

Looking at the somewhat eerie parchment before her, Maya Oki felt a trace of hesitation in her heart. However, in order to recover her lost memories, she followed Haruaki Suzuki's instructions, used the embroidery needle to prick her own finger, and let a drop of blood fall into the small circle.

"Whoosh!!!"

The exact moment Maya Oki's blood fell onto the parchment, an enchanting red radiance burst forth from it, which then split into two streams and merged into the glabellae of Haruaki Suzuki and herself respectively.

As the red light integrated, Haruaki Suzuki sensed that a strange connection had been established between himself and Maya Oki.

Through this peculiar connection, Haruaki Suzuki could not only communicate directly with Maya Oki using his thoughts, but he could also obliterate her soul with a single thought.

As for Maya Oki, after absorbing the red light, she felt that Haruaki Suzuki had suddenly become exceptionally majestic and charming. An inexplicable urge to obey his commands welled up within her, willing to sacrifice even her own life without hesitation.

Staring at Haruaki Suzuki for a moment, Maya Oki's gaze grew increasingly tender and submissive, and she couldn't help but call out, "Master."

Hearing a gorgeous beauty address him in such a manner, Haruaki Suzuki inexplicably felt a mixture of excitement and embarrassment. He gave a light cough and said, "Don't call me master; just call me Young Master."

"Yes, Young Master."

"Have your memories recovered now?"

"Not... not yet." Hearing this, Maya Oki tried to recall carefully, but ultimately shook her head helplessly.

"Then do you have any impression of the name Maya Oki?"

"Maya Oki... Oki... Maya... My head hurts so much..."

Upon hearing this familiar name, bloody fragments of images suddenly flashed through Maya Oki's mind, and she covered her head with a face full of agony.

Seeing that Maya Oki was having a reaction, Haruaki Suzuki continued to probe, "Then do you still remember that you are an assassin?"

That's right! Haruaki Suzuki could conclude with near certainty that Maya Oki must be a professional assassin.

The reason Haruaki Suzuki arrived at this conclusion was not only because he had extracted the assassination skill *Assassination Arts* from Maya Oki via sign-in, but also because he noticed that Maya Oki had trained her muscles and possessed an extremely low body fat percentage.

Combining these two factors, Haruaki Suzuki deduced that Maya Oki was most likely a professional assassin.

"I... I am an assassin..."

Stimulated by Haruaki Suzuki's words, more memory fragments surfaced in Maya Oki's mind. Her bewildered gaze gradually regained clarity, and her delicate lips parted slightly as she said, "I remember. I remember everything. My name is Maya Oki, and I am a professional assassin, known by the alias Red Spider."

Just as expected!

Upon hearing Maya Oki's personal admission that she was a professional assassin, Haruaki Suzuki couldn't help but reveal a joyful smile.

The reason Haruaki Suzuki chose to use the [Servant Contract] to transform Maya Oki into his servant was precisely because he valued her identity as a professional assassin.

Haruaki Suzuki was still far too young at present. Even though he was the heir to the Suzuki Group, there were many things he simply could not access, such as firearms and explosives.

Although Haruaki Suzuki could operate his Stand remotely, given his current spiritual strength, he could only maintain the Stand's continuous actions for a little over two hours, making it unsuitable for prolonged outdoor activities.

Therefore, Haruaki Suzuki needed to find an agent for himself. Once he had an agent of his own, he could secretly build his own armed force.

One must remember that this world was still very dangerous. Aside from the lunatics of the Black Organization, there was no shortage of unhinged criminals.

Given Haruaki Suzuki's current circumstances, he might not encounter too many dangers just yet, but taking precautions for a rainy day was equally important.

Having a sword and choosing not to use it versus having no sword available at all were two entirely different concepts.

A professional assassin like Maya Oki, who operated in the grey zones, typically had extensive connections. Not only did she know figures across various industries, but she was also familiar with renowned mercenaries and assassins, making her exceptionally well-suited to serve as his agent.
