I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 57 Ordinary Life, [Five People Meeting]

In fact, the time now is neither late at night nor early in the morning.

But at twelve noon——

At twelve o'clock noon, Shizuma Mafuyu's house was still dark and messy.

Empty beer bottles and cans were everywhere, and black and white office lady outfits and ties were hanging on the edges of the sofa and coffee table.

Lying on the tatami floor of the living room, Nanjo Ai, who was awakened by the piercing alarm of her cell phone, rubbed her eyes with her hands, turned the phone over, and moved the fleshy white legs above her head.

When she sat up, she saw Shizuma Manfuyu sleeping in a disheveled position, occupying almost half of the living room.

"This guy Jingjian... he usually looks quite quiet, but his sleeping posture is so wild and unruly."

Yawning, Nanjo Aishi pulled the purple suspenders that had fallen on her arms back to her shoulders, and then she heard vague mumbling in her sleep not far away.

"Nanjo-sama...I'm not drinking any more. I really can't drink any more."

Then came——

"Open another can! You're already down, Nanjo-nee, your alcohol tolerance isn't that great!"

Nanjo Aimi burst out laughing.

She still remembered the funny look on Shizuma Mafuyu's face last night as she twisted and turned in circles while saying these words.

The good thing about dreaming is that it can easily reverse past failures, and even if you have no talent, effort or background, you can still be an invincible general.

Nanjo Aimi brought her phone screen close to her face and stared at the date and numbers for a moment: "The appointment is today..."

"Xiao Ru, go wake Jingjian up and take her to the bathroom for a shower. I'll come after I finish smoking this."

As soon as the words fell, the ghost that had been guarding the door all night slowly floated over, but Nanjo Aimi's nose twitched, and he asked in a raised tone,
"Xiao Ru, did you drink secretly?"

Ru Gui immediately turned her head away, her cheeks burning beneath her long black hair. She shook her hands: "No... no, no."

Seeing this, Nanjo Aishi curled her lips and said, "Damn, it's true that the top beam is crooked and the bottom beam is crooked. I still remember that a long time ago, you would fly away when you smelled alcohol."

She opened the curtains and windows, and squinted because of the sunlight coming in from outside.

Lighting up a cigarette to wake her up, Nanjo Aimi hummed in enjoyment and asked, "You haven't smoked yet, have you?"

Ru Gui immediately shook his head like a wave drum: "No, no, no, this is too pungent, it doesn't smell good at all!"

"So that's admitting to drinking secretly?" Nanjo Aimi smiled, "That's what you said before when you saw me drinking while you were eating snacks secretly."

Rugui refused to listen and just kept trying to wake up Jingjian Zhendong.

"Hmm? Uh...!"

As soon as Shizuma Manfuyu opened her eyes, she was frightened by the big face of Rugui hanging in the air.

All of a sudden, the dizziness stopped and the aftereffects of the hangover suddenly disappeared.

"It's Miss Nuki." Even though Shizuma Manfuyu didn't feel dizzy anymore, she still felt her stomach churning. However, she still suggested, "Miss Nuki, if you can tie your hair up properly, you will definitely become a great beauty..."

Before she could finish her words, Shizuma Mafuyu quickly got up and ran to the bathroom.

Within two seconds, she could hear the weak sound of vomiting from inside.

The noise made Nanjo Aimi feel a little nostalgic. She remembered the first time she was drunk like this, which was probably almost fifteen years ago.

At that time, she had just entered society and didn't know how to refuse. She would drink when people urged her to drink. She would drink when the atmosphere became cold. She would drink even when she was happy...

If she hadn't been gifted, she would have had a perforated stomach from drinking so much.

Not long after, Shizuma Mafuyu's weak voice sounded again behind her: "Nanjo-sama, do you still have work today?"

"Yeah, I do." Nanjo Aimi exhaled smoke, "But you should wash yourself first. You can't go out in public smelling of alcohol."

"Oh! Okay, Nanjo-sensei!"

Shizuma Mafuyu immediately responded loudly, standing straight.

Then, her voice trailed off again, and she hesitantly said, "Um... Your Excellency, I didn't do anything embarrassing after I got drunk last night, right? I can't seem to remember it myself. Is this called a blackout?"

Is it embarrassing?
Nanjo Aimi didn't think that was the case at all.

She closed her eyes, and the memory of last night came back to her mind clearly——

"Alright! You chose the truth about the 'future', so you can't go back on your word, Mafuyu!"

"—Didn't I already tell you? I want my sister to settle down in Tokyo, you idiot Nanjo who doesn't understand what I'm saying!"

"What kind of future is my sister's life? Are you her sister or her mother?! Tell me the fucking truth!"

Shizuma Mafuyu fell silent. She slurped her beer and stared quietly at the monotonous night sky where not a single star could be seen.

After a long while, the twenty-year-old girl hugged her knees tightly and covered her face:

"——Nanjo-san, I don't want to die like those cultists and Hasegawa-senpai, worthless like trash, and then be put in a small box and buried in a cheap cemetery."

"I want to...live well."

She trembled and said,

"Even if it means living a peaceful life with a foreseeable end, I still want to live a good life with my sister."

Amidst long sobs, Nanjo Aimi quietly finished the can of draft beer in her hand, then curled up the corners of her lips in great joy.

"Then please let me help you, Mafuyu." Nanjo Aimi said to the girl word by word, "Because we are the same people."

……

"——Alright! Let's take a bath first."

After crushing the cigarette butt, Nanjo Aimi pulled Shizuma Mafuyu into the bathroom and turned on the faucet as if she was the owner of the house.

She snapped her fingers.

"Xiao Ru, the same old rules, but this time we'll also arrange for a quiet room."

Ru Gui skillfully used the end of his hair to unbutton the two people's underwear, causing Shizuma Manfuyu to let out a cry.

Ru Gui stopped moving and looked at the girl in confusion. The latter's face immediately turned red and she lowered her head and uttered an apology.

Nanjo Aimi leaned against the bathtub and thought about what was going to happen next.

Shizuma Mafuyu sat on the small stool very embarrassedly. She had never taken a bath with anyone other than her family since she was a child.

This time, Rugui worked extra hard to control the water flow to help the two of them scrub their bodies, as if he hoped someone would divert their attention to this.

"Mr. Nanjo, may I ask what the work will be like later?" Shizuma Mafuyu broke the silence, because after the Friendship Club was disbanded, Kondo Tomoya gave them a full week off.

"Relax, I'm just going to meet the boss." Nanjo Aimi stretched out her body, showing off her curves that made the girls envious. "Tell them about the Friendship Club and Aibieli."

Ugh?
Shizuma Manfuyu was a little confused. She remembered clearly that yesterday, didn't Nanjo-sensei clearly tell that Uesugi-kun didn't care about this matter?

She continued, "Is it Kondo Daisuke?"

Nanjo Aimi shook her head: "It's the [Five-member Association]."

Shizuma Manfuyu was stunned. Only then did she realize that Nanjo Aimi was saying one thing and thinking another.

The Five-Man Council, whose full name is "Tokyo Special Affairs Office Five-Man Supreme Council", is composed of Yin Yang Quanzhu, Yin Yang Doctor, Astronomy Doctor, Calendar Doctor, and Clepsydra Doctor.

Although the official positions of the last four were slightly different in the historical Onmyoji Bureau, their importance in the reformed Special Affairs Office was exactly the same.

——This is the highest authority in the entire Tokyo Special Affairs Office and also the most powerful violent organization.

What Nanjo Aimei did was equivalent to reporting to a higher level three or four levels, and if she was not careful, she might lose her job.

So Shizuma Mafuyu hesitated and said, "Are you sure, Nanjo-sama?"

Unexpectedly, Nanjo Ai looked at her with a strange look, spread her hands,

"Of course not!"

If you are not sure, don't speak so confidently!
Now, Shizuma Mafuyu couldn't help but start to worry about her job.

Although it would be nice to return to normal life at this critical moment, if she was really fired, wouldn't all her previous efforts be in vain? It would be such a loss just thinking about it.

"——Shizuma, you also have your reasons for not wanting the Arakawa District to be destroyed and countless ordinary people to die tragically."

Shizuma Mafuyu came back to her senses and nodded, "Of course."

Ever since her parents passed away, she and her sister have been trying hard to live in Arakawa Ward, even though life is not so good sometimes and there are no places or memories worth remembering here.

But at least this is where they grew up.

that's enough.

At some point, Hiyabo was already hovering above the two of them, helping them dry the water droplets on their hair and bodies.

Nanjo Aimi took the clothes from the black-haired girl and put them on slowly.

Button up your shirt and tighten your tie.

Soon, the eccentric woman disappeared, and was replaced by the always calm and composed Nanjo young master.

Then Shizuma Mafuyu saw her boss lower his head, hold out his hand, and ask softly:
"Want to come along, Jingjian?"

Shizuma Mafuyu understood that this was the last chance to retreat.

If she nodded and said yes, she might lose the internship job she had worked so hard to get; but if she refused, she could continue to work hard for her sister's future.

This should have been a very difficult decision, just like when she had made the extremely difficult choice of working and studying part-time so that her younger sister could go to high school.

But this time, Shizuma Mafuyu didn't know why she gave up the decision and without hesitation, she clenched the hand that fell in front of her and pleaded, "Please take me with you, Nanjo-sama."

Then, Nanjo Aimi smiled happily.
"Okay."

The boss bent down and tied his tie for himself solemnly and carefully.

Then, he patted her shoulder gently.

"Then let's go."

——I'm sorry, Manatsu.

Shizuma Mafuyu gently closed her eyes.

She whispered in her heart, "Please let me be willful once in a while."

　The update on Monday will be advanced to 00:01, so remember to come and watch it then.
