A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 107 The Great Fairy Tale Era?
"Brother Lu, wake up."

No matter how much commotion there was, the sun still rose as usual, and Inoue Kaoru still came to wake Akizuki Ritsu as usual.

"My sister has already prepared breakfast."

Because the island nation 'luckily' did not experience any supernatural disasters last night, Inoue Kaori naturally didn't need to rush back. After getting up, she went to Akizuki's house to start making breakfast. By the time Akizuki Ritsu finished washing up and came downstairs, the fragrant food was already prepared.

"I'm starting," ×2
As the two girls, one older and one younger, clasped their hands together, Akizuki Ritsu pointed to the living room.

What are those books?

There are two stacks of books on the living room table. With just a quick glance, you can see the large title "Andersen's Fairy Tales" on the cover.

"Even Kaoru is past the age of reading this kind of book, isn't she?"

Regarding the 'unresolved' nature of the autumn moon's rhythm,
The Inoue sisters exchanged a glance.

"Brother Lu, while it's good to focus on your studies, you should also keep up with current events."

Kaoru Inoue, the younger sister, explained,

"That's the complete set of 'Andersen's Fairy Tales' and 'Grimm's Fairy Tales' that I bought. Brother Lu, you should read them when you have time."

This was all thanks to 'Tokugawa's sister's connections; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to buy these books.

"I?"

Qiu Yuelu pointed to herself, looking 'surprised'.

That's normal. He's a college student, a grown man, it's not normal for him to read fairy tales and such.
"Brother Lu, last night, a supernatural disaster broke out in South Korea."

Kaori Inoue took over the conversation.

"The Messenger of Heaven: The Little Match Girl appears in Seoul, offering blessings to kind-hearted people—and then, this 'recipient' engages in a major battle with the American military, even resorting to nuclear weapons."

While Kaori Inoue was explaining, her younger sister, Kaoru Inoue, took out her phone and skillfully opened the front page of the news.

"Brother Lu, look."

The image above shows a girl emerging from a nuclear explosion.

"Even nuclear bombs can't hurt her; she's already being called a 'saint' online."

"It is said that the Pope of the Vatican has gone to South Korea to personally pay homage to this 'saint'."

Normally, saints are appointed by the Vatican. But now, the power of Heaven has descended, yet it hasn't even glanced at the Vatican. How could the current Pope remain indifferent? Should he come himself, or wait for others to come to him?
What audacity!
I'll blow you up!
"Wow, is that even possible?"

Seeing Akizuki Ritsu's extremely 'perfunctory' attitude, Inoue Kaoru shook her head slightly.

"Brother Lu, don't think things like 'this has nothing to do with me'."

"In fact, the South Korean government estimates that more than a thousand people witnessed 'The Little Match Girl'."

Unfortunately, given the Korean societal tendency to "hate the young," not a single person stepped forward to speak to them. As it turns out, those who receive blessings from heaven truly deserve to be called "righteous people."

"Furthermore, there was the 'Cinderella incident' a while ago."

"cough,"

My sister's voice came from beside me, and at the same time I was 'lightly' stepped on.

"ah--"

"Kaoru, what's wrong?"

Faced with Akizuki Ritsu's 'concerned' inquiry,

The girl's face contorted instantly, and she slumped onto the dining table, forcing a smile.

"fine,"

"Sudden stomach pain."

"Kaoru's point is: even if you don't intend to gain extraordinary power from this, it's best to learn about all the taboos and prohibitions."

Kaori Inoue calmly explained that she had given her sister a 'war stomp' under the table.

"Fairy tales are not beautiful."

It's more than just not good.
To be honest, almost all of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales end in tragedy, and the Brothers Grimm's are even more bloody, with cannibalism and the destruction of nations being merely understatements.

All I can say is that the fairy tales of that era were rather hardcore.

"Understood,"

Ritsu Akizuki could also sense the kindness of the Inoue sisters.

As Kaori said, even if we don't draw power from 'fairy tales,' we should at least avoid offending the other party's taboos; otherwise, given the power currently displayed by the 'fairy tale characters,' we could easily find ourselves in a life-or-death predicament.

"Right, that is it."

Under the table, Inoue Kaoru was massaging one of her white feet with the other, talking about news from the internet.

"Many countries now confidently proclaim that Hans Christian Andersen was the 'scribe of heaven' and the Brothers Grimm were 'legendary exorcists'."

Otherwise, why are the fairy tales they write based on real events?
"The Matthew Cathedral in Berlin is completely packed with hundreds of thousands of tourists."

In Berlin, the capital city, the cemetery of St. Matthew's Cathedral is the final resting place of many prominent figures in philosophy, literature, sculpture, and fine arts. Among them are the founder of the Berlin Theatre Company, the creator of the Twelve Musical Systems, the author of *Phenomenology of Spirit*, and the sculptor of monuments to Goethe and Kant, among others.

It also includes the famous Brothers Grimm;
If these people's legendary stories are true, they could fight a Holy Grail War right there in the cathedral.

"That's it"

Qiu Yuelu stroked her chin.

"So many people are disturbing other people's sleep, aren't they afraid that the two 'exorcists' will lift the coffin up?"

"Who knows? I don't think it makes much sense."

With her foot pain slightly relieved, Kaoru innocently tapped her chin with her finger.

"If supernatural powers were so easy to obtain, wouldn't they be too cheap?"

"Anyway, Brother Lu, remember to take some time to read fairy tales."

"This is currently the world's best-selling book."

Suburbs of Hachioji City

"Senior sister, you want me to read fairy tales?"

In front of the deserted forest dojo, Eguchi, who was used to being wrapped in bandages, looked at the book in his hand with a troubled expression.

"I'm a biker gang member, you know, look at this stuff—"

You'll be laughed at!
"joke?"

Dressed in a black ninja outfit, Machii Rin shook her finger.

"Believe it or not, if you take these books back, everyone will scramble to buy them."

In modern society, e-books have existed for a long time. But judging from the fragments of information leaked from the "Cinderella incident," books are the true "vessel" for fairy tales.

In no time, fairy tale books from all over the world were snapped up. At the very least, having a set of fairy tale books meant that if another 'fairy tale anomaly' occurred, you'd be one step ahead of everyone else to know what was going on.

Printing plants in various countries instantly went into 24-hour operation.
Countless brand-new complete sets of Grimm's Fairy Tales and Andersen's Fairy Tales were printed, put on bookshelves, and immediately snapped up.

Putting aside other factors, those involved in printing and sales are making a fortune: every book originally had its own audience. And now, it's estimated that this craze won't stop until everyone has a copy.

"That's it,"

Jiang Kou scratched his head.

He's an 'uneducated' biker gang member, reading fairy tales and such.
Are those fairy tale characters really that powerful?

Even someone as ignorant as Eguchi knows a bit about fairy tales like 'Snow White' and 'The Little Mermaid,' so it's really hard to imagine a scene of these characters battling it out.

"That's just the way it is,"

Rin Machii, dressed in a black ninja outfit and with her face covered by a black mask, shrugged.

"Putting everything else aside, Snow White's stepmother has a magic mirror that is 'all-knowing'."

The witch in the mermaid story possesses a magic potion that can alter the form of living beings and strip away concepts—which was simply a fairy tale before, so it didn't matter.

Now that I think about it carefully,
These fairy tales are truly full of hidden talents.

"Look, giants and dragons are just common background elements in fairy tales. If they appeared—"

You can't expect to take down the enemy just by grabbing a sling, can you?

"Right."

After careful consideration, Eguchi had to admit it.

Even he wouldn't dare to claim he could contend with giants or dragons.

"Hahaha~~"

"Did I just hear someone talking about dragons?"

? !
A burst of wild, domineering laughter rang out, causing the two people practicing in the forest to turn their heads simultaneously.

brush--

A blonde, blue-eyed girl leaped out of the woods. Her features were soft and Eastern, and she carried a Western-style two-handed sword riddled with cracks.

"Are there dragons there?"

However, the domineering male voice did indeed ring out from her mouth.

"Perfect timing for my rehabilitation training."

"Keep bragging, you lecherous devil!"

Another 'normal' female voice then retorted from the other party;
"In your current state, you still want to fight a dragon?"

They just bully ordinary people.

After speaking, the blonde, blue-eyed woman looked at the wary Eguchi and Machii Rin.

"Sorry for disturbing you."

"We're just passing by, don't mind us."

Hey, hey, hey, how could I not mind? And what this person in front of me is saying is:
"you?"

"That's right, I'm leading my 'entourage' on a trip."

The domineering voice rang out again.
"Come on, fight my 'attendants.' The loser leaves his place—ouch!"

Bang bang bang! !

The girl gripped the long sword in her hand and began smashing it against the tree trunk beside her with a series of clanging sounds.

If it were a normal longsword, it would deform or even break after only a few uses: a longsword is meant to be used for slashing and killing, not to be used as a club for random smashing.

"Stop! Stop! Woman!"

"Hu~~"

After smashing the 'holy sword' in her hand repeatedly, the woman turned around and apologized to Eguchi and the other two.

"Please don't mind, this is just how my sword looks."

"Hey, hey, hey, when did I become yours?"

The strangely cracked longsword protested first.
The girl's expression immediately changed.

"We've finally encountered two 'warriors,' why not have a fight—"

brush,

"Sister, be careful!"

Suddenly stepping forward to block Machii Rin's path, Eguchi raised his arms.

"Iron block".

Clang——! !

The sound of metal clanging echoed through the forest.
This area is already in the suburbs of Hachioji City and is 'private property,' so no one would approach it; otherwise, someone would have already called the police.

"Hey?"

"really,"

Two voices rang out simultaneously from the 'blonde, blue-eyed girl'.
"You have protective gear under your clothes?"

"Foolish woman, this is some kind of technique to improve defense."

After one move, the blonde, blue-eyed girl flew back; she had regained control, or rather, the succubus within her body had relinquished its grip.

"Wait a minute, I wasn't the one who launched the attack just now."

"Hehehe, don't waste your energy!"

Amidst the laughter of 'Siegfried' within her body, the 'ninja' opposite her, dressed in black clothes, black pants, and a black mask, had already drawn his sword.

"Junior brother, let's attack together."

Regardless of what kind of supernatural being the other party is.

Those who interrupted their training and attacked immediately were undoubtedly 'enemies'.

"Um,"

Jiang Kou, who had been struck by a sword, was no saint who would never fight back.

"I'll block, you attack!"

The next second, the two rushed toward the strange girl.

"Why,"

With that persistent ghost haunting her body, Ling knew that things couldn't end peacefully today, so she could only put on a show of force.

"I'll hit you, I'll hit you, okay?"

Along the way, she also learned a lot of swordsmanship from Siegfried.

Since the misunderstanding cannot be explained, then:
Let's have a match first!
