I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 94: Lilizi's Scientific Sleep Method

Just as Uesugi Tetsu was in Edo Castle wondering whether the homeless people would run out with the rising and falling waves, he suddenly saw two of them on his balcony.

"But even if that's the case, it shouldn't have landed precisely on the balcony..."

Uesugi Che was speechless. Could it be that his house was a place where negative energy gathered and the feng shui was extremely bad?
Wait, it seems that this is possible.

Just yesterday, a cow ghost was almost eaten to pieces by my dad, and now there is a homeless person. In a few days, will the two brothers with the white skeleton wax statues come directly to my doorstep?

He pondered for a moment and decided to talk about the situation with Nanjo later and ask her to find an expert in Yin-Yang magic to see what was going on.

Although it may cause the "balcony monster spawning point" to be destroyed, Uesugi Tetsu is not the kind of person who would be greedy for such a small profit.

He didn't want to see chaos in his house every time he woke up.

If Dad couldn't hold on one day, the one who would be sent would be him lying in bed exploring the world.

When Uesugi Tetsu focused his eyes again, he was shocked to find that the two homeless people had been pinned to the ground by his father and were being eaten vigorously in just a few seconds.

As the ghost dad gnawed, the two homeless people made gurgling sounds as their blood bubbles rolled up their cheeks.

Fortunately, these demons that descended from the ordinary world would not leave too many traces after death, otherwise Uesugi Tetsu would have to worry about the hygiene conditions at home.

Uesugi Tetsu closed the window and thought, "This guy is such a loser! He's such a loser and yet he dares to yell at his dad?"

Moreover, he found that the two homeless people did not seem to have any equipment or props dropped, and they were just poor guys.

After finding a pair of headphones, Uesugi Tetsu released the mute plug that was pressed against Nanjo Aimi's mouth: "Hello, is Nanjo-san still there?"

Nanjo Aishi didn't feel any dissatisfaction with being muted immediately. Instead, she immediately asked, "What happened?"

So Uesugi Tetsu recounted in detail what had just happened, along with his own speculation about the situation of those who were homeless after the wave arrived.

Of course, Uesugi Tetsu did not reveal anything about the eternal time travel.

He also replaced the role of Ghost Dad with himself - Nanjo Aimi vaguely discovering the existence of Ghost Dad and admitting it himself are two different things.

"I understand." Nanjo Aimi's tone was unusually serious. "Whether your guess is correct or not, I want to thank you on behalf of the entire Special Affairs Office."

"That's not necessary. I just want more requests to confirm the existence of demons."

Uesugi Tetsu pulled out the excuse he had thought of not long ago: "I just started Coronal Breathing yesterday, and my hands are really itching."

The emphasis was not on "high-star commission" but on "confirming the existence of the demon" because Uesugi Tetsu didn't want to make a trip in vain.

There are only a few hours left before the next entry into the ordinary world. It doesn't matter if you earn less soul ash. The key is not to waste time.

"That's easy." Nanjo Aimi then gave another warning, "Also, don't tell everyone you've been practicing breathing techniques. If you don't say anything, no one will care. But if you do, it'll probably be hard for your girlfriend."

Uesugi Tetsu was helpless: "Lilizi is not my daughter... Forget it, as long as you are happy, Nanjo-sister."

"Then I'll let Mafuyu pick you up. She'll explain the details to you—"

Halfway through her speech, Nanjo Aimi's voice suddenly stopped, and then several voices, some strange and some familiar, came from the headphones, which seemed a bit noisy.

After a while, she spoke again.
"Uh, your girlfriend said she wanted to come too, so I wanted to ask you what you think."

what?
Uesugi Che was shocked. It was already past two in the morning and Ririko was still not sleeping?
You have to know that Lilizi is not like him who just yesterday started with the breathing method, broke through the natural rational flow and gained a full 6 points of physical fitness. Moreover, she has been practicing for such a long time while guiding herself...

He subconsciously said, "You don't want to live anymore, do you?"

Then Uesugi Tetsu realized that Nanjo Aimi was still holding the phone. He coughed twice and said, "I'm talking about Ririkko."

After a moment, Nanjo Aishi passed on the message: "She said she is doing research and sleeps a few hours a day. Sleeping a few times is most helpful for her practice. Don't worry."

Now, Uesugi Tetsu really didn't know what to say. A scientific sleep method... she was lucky enough to come up with it.

"--So, Uesugi-kun, what's your answer?"

"How many stars is the commission?"

"one star."

The answer speaks for itself.

……

The van arrived opposite my house after forty minutes.

Uesugi Che glanced at his father and found that the old man was still chewing slowly on the balcony. After eating for so long, there was only a skinny thigh left. It was really not a waste.

When he went out, Uesugi Che couldn't help but look back again.

——He seemed to feel that Ghost Dad’s aura had changed compared to the beginning. Although it could not be said to have increased significantly, it was definitely stronger than at the beginning.

Could it be that Ghost Dad can become stronger by eating monsters?
If that's the case, then maybe the other party's intention to eat me is just a pretext, and their real purpose is to guard the monster cage on the balcony and wait for new monsters to drop...

It would be troublesome to raise Ghost Dad to a higher star, but it would be a waste to ask the Special Affairs Office to get rid of him like this.

The inexplicable guesses confused Uesugi Tetsu's thoughts.

So much so that when he opened the door and got into the car, he didn't even notice that he was sitting in the arms of Ririko, who had been sitting in the seat with her eyes closed waiting.

"puff--"

Ririko, with her eyes closed, almost suffocated by Uesugi Che's sitting.

She finally managed to catch her breath through breathing techniques, and after several seconds, she said, "Uesugi-kun, you're committing murder. If you don't like it, you can tell me directly."

Uesugi Tetsu was a little embarrassed for the first time in a long time: "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."

He suggested, "Lilizi, if you don't mind, you can sit back."

Lilizi had said this to him before, so it wasn't an offense for him to say it now.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Shizuma Mafuyu hummed inwardly, glancing in the rearview mirror. She thought the couple were having quite a bit of fun, but they wouldn't really do that in front of an outsider like her...

Before Shizuma Manfuyu could finish her thoughts, she saw Ririko say "OK", and without saying a word, she landed like a mountain in Uesugi Tetsu's arms.

Uesugi Tetsu's eyes immediately darkened: "Puff!"

Even though his physique was far superior to Lilizi's, he could not resist the other party's precise knowledge of the intersection points when the breathing method was operated.

If he sits there, Uesugi Che will definitely get a stitch in the side.

Lilizi, who happened to be leaning on Uesugi Tetsu's shoulder, turned around and smiled: "Okay, now we're even."

Witnessing all this, Shizuma Mafuyu said nothing, but just gripped the steering wheel tightly.

It's hard, the fist is hard.

——Damn it, why haven’t I ever been in a relationship when I’m about to graduate from college? I spent time studying for exams in junior high and high school, and doing research projects in college. Now that I start working at the Special Affairs Office, all those trivial things take up almost all of my time after get off work every day.

Although this was Shizuma Mafuyu's own choice, she also knew that this would be the consequence.

But...why does it hurt so much?!
