A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 23 Akizuki Ritsu's 'Daily Life'

in this way,

The second 'clone' is ready.

In the Tokyo Detention Center, Ritsu Akizuki is in the medical room, multitasking as she inserts acupuncture needles into an elderly man while 'playing' her part.

This is the prison job he 'applied for': While prisons in island nations don't require sewing machines, they do offer traditional jobs such as carpentry, printing, and metalworking, designed to cultivate prisoners' skills and sense of responsibility.

Because being in prison is too boring.
Most prisoners are happy to take these jobs: they pass the time and they get paid.

Qiu Yuelu, who reads books every day, applied for acupuncture and massage work to avoid prison guards coming to his home repeatedly for "mental health counseling".

That's right, island nations have acupuncture and massage techniques; moreover, they have the most acupuncturists in the world, with numerous specialized acupuncture schools, and the classic theory is the "Huangdi Neijing" (Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic).
Qiu Yueli had originally planned to study medicine. After demonstrating her skills, her calm and collected "masterful demeanor" and immediate "treatment effect" immediately impressed the prison's medical staff, and she became an unofficial member of the "elderly welfare course".

If you're not afraid of killing someone, you'll naturally remain calm and composed.

With the aid of a Devil Fruit ability, the effect is bound to be bad.

Free experimental materials were everywhere, and Akizuki Ritsu reluctantly spent three hours a day exercising.

With a monthly salary of 20,000 yen, one can buy daily necessities, books, and so on in the prison; in a sense, it's not much different from the cattle and horses in the prison in my previous life.

"Comfortable,"

"Very comfortable!"

"This is simply paradise!"

The old man on the hospital bed, covered in silver needles, had a blissful expression on his face. He looked so comfortable that he seemed to be about to become a Buddha on the spot. Only after Qiu Yuelu removed the silver needles did he reluctantly turn over and get up.

"Brother Qiuyue, it's a loss to the entire island nation to have a genius like you staying here."

Qiuyue's acupuncture skills

Everyone who tried it once said it was great!
After a session of acupuncture and massage, my back didn't ache, my legs didn't hurt, and I felt ten years younger.

To obtain this service, elderly prisoners feigned illness; even prison guards, after experiencing it, became addicted and booked appointments three months in advance.

If you didn't know better, you'd think there was ice on his needles.

The truth is: Ritsu Akizuki is experimenting with the abilities of the Hormone Fruit, the Surgery Fruit, and the Wash-Wash Fruit.

Since I'm just idling around anyway, even if I'm the mastermind behind it all, it's not bad to get involved occasionally.

"It doesn't matter,"

As Qiuyue Ritsu took off her gloves, she said casually,

"Anyway, the elderly in the island nation are all in prison."

"That's quite a witty remark, young man."

Such a 'hellish' answer left the old man both amused and exasperated.

But this isn't without reason; for example, this elderly man was imprisoned for committing a crime on purpose.

The aging population of this island nation is world-renowned; the number of people over 65 years old has reached a staggering 36 million! Keep in mind that the island nation's total population is only slightly over 100 million, meaning that one in three people is over 65!

As a result, the pressure on social security for elderly care is considerable.

The island nation's government has raised the retirement age again and again, reaching a terrifying 65!
That's not all. This year, a law was introduced allowing individuals to 'voluntarily' choose to delay retirement until age 75. In a true sense, the sixties and seventies are the age for 'venturing out'.

Young people are also overwhelmed and have shouted the slogan "Old guys should all die"; many elderly people whose children are unfilial or who are unwilling to add burden to their families simply choose to "commit crimes" and go to prison, like the one in front of us.

"Sigh, it's such a pity that the young man is still so young."

The boy had a sharp tongue, but the old man knew that Qiu Yuelu had a good personality.

With such miraculous medical skills, he ended up in prison, unlike the old men who voluntarily went to jail. This young man was buried here, truly a case of Buddha being blind.

"Where is the real cough and treatment not considered treatment?"

Qiu Yuelu calmly waved her hand.

"If I were outside, this technology would only serve the powerful and wealthy, and would be harmful to society."

The powerful old men of the island nation are reluctant to die. Even in their nineties or hundreds of years old, they still firmly hold onto their positions, which is one of the sources of resentment among the island nation's youth.

Of course, aside from his whimsical experimentation with his abilities, who could force Akizuki Ritsu to practice 'acupuncture and massage'?
court death!

"Oh dear, such words—"

The old prisoner scratched his head; this was a difficult question to answer.

Fortunately, the old man didn't need to worry about it, because a prison guard had already entered the medical room;
"Brother Qiuyue, someone is looking for you. Come to Meeting Room A."

?

"OK,"

A puzzled expression appeared on her face, but in reality, Akizuki already knew the identity of the person who came.

"Kaori, so fast?"

Upon arriving at Meeting Room A, Akizuki Ritsu rushed forward with a look of 'surprise'.

It's only been a few days, far from the one-month 'visiting period';
The reason the girl appeared here is:

"Who is this lady?"

Meeting room A didn't have that thick bulletproof glass; instead, it was a simple, square room with a table and a few chairs in the center.

Although simple, it was already the 'highest standard' meeting room: visitors could have physical contact with prisoners.

"This humble woman is Tokugawa Mitsuko,"

Besides her childhood friend Kaori Inoue

A lady was also sitting in the reception room, bowing slightly to Qiu Yuelu.

"I have met Mr. Qiuyue."

The girl has long, straight black hair, a typical Japanese "Hime cut," and wears an expensive women's school uniform. Her hands are on her thighs, and her posture is upright but not stiff, clearly indicating that she comes from a prestigious family.

In fact, you can tell just by looking at the name.

"Tokugawa?"

Autumn Moon's face,
And just then, a look of 'perfect' surprise appeared on his face.

The Tokugawa family is a name familiar to anyone with even a slight understanding of Japanese history.

The Tokugawa Shogunate, founded by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the "old turtle," ended the Warring States period and ruled the island nation for 265 years; if it weren't for the "Black Ships invasion," it might have continued to rule indefinitely.

As the island nation was invaded by Western powers, the Tokugawa family wisely withdrew from the crisis, relinquishing power to the imperial family through the "Return of Power to the Emperor," and then receiving the honorary title of "Duke." As a result, they escaped the purge by the "Five-Star Emperor" MacArthur and have continued to exist to this day.

At the biennial gathering of the old aristocracy at the Kasumi Hall, the Tokugawa family remained a distinguished guest. They were truly a thousand-year-old family.

—The Tokugawa family, which was passed down to the Seiwa Genji.

The Genji clan was one of the four great clans of the Heian period in Japan a thousand years ago.

"Photon is a friend I've made recently,"

Kaori Inoue stood up and introduced Ritsu Akizuki.

"She's also my senior,"

"Thanks to Senior Guangzi's lawyer status, we were able to visit Lu Jun so quickly."

Of course, it's not so easy for a regular 'lawyer' to get in for a visit.

But if we add the surname 'Tokugawa'—

"Sir, please give us some private space."

As the lady with long, straight black hair slightly raised her hand, the prison guard standing behind her adjusted his hat.

"Yes, ma'am."

Compared to the Tokugawa period, the Tokugawa family had naturally declined considerably; however, in the eyes of ordinary people, they were still an unimaginable behemoth.

After the prison guards left the reception room,
Mitsuko Tokugawa, with her long, straight black hair, raised her hand in greeting:

"I'm just doing a favor for a friend, Mr. Qiuyue, please make yourself at home."

The implication was that we should ignore her.

"Thank you, Miss Tokugawa."

After thanking the other party, Akizuki Ritsu smiled and looked at Inoue Kaori, who was holding his hand.

"How are you lately?"

"I'm fine, Brother Lu, how about you?"

As soon as the prison guard left, Kaori immediately switched to calling him "Ritsu-nii" (older brother Ritsu).

"I'm fine too,"

Akizuki Ritsu calmly introduces 'prison life'.

"I read books and exercise every day, and also help out in the medical room."

"Life is more structured than in school, and I even get a salary—so I'm practically a 'social being' in a certain sense."

"puff,"

Kaori Inoue couldn't help but laugh at Ritsu Akizuki's 'self-praise'.

"What kind of 'socialite' goes to jail?"

In island nations, "socialite" refers to "company employee." Hmm. In a sense, prisons are also a kind of company?
"Brother Law, at most two years."

Holding Qiuyue Lu's hand tightly, the girl made a serious promise.

"Once I get my lawyer's license, I'll take your case, reopen the investigation and trial—and then clear your name!"

After accidentally saving Mitsuko's younger sister that day, the Tokugawa family soon came knocking on their door. While expressing their gratitude, they discovered that the eldest daughter, Tokugawa Mitsuko, was actually Kaori's former senior.

So, I recommended Inoue Kaori to apply to the Faculty of Law at the University of Tokyo, the same school that Tokugawa Mitsuko attended, so that she could be "close" to it sooner or later. With the Tokugawa family's name on her name and Kaori's own efforts, she had already passed the professor's interview, and her admission was a sure thing.

"I don't mind,"

Qiu Yuelu's composure was not feigned.

It couldn't be easier for him to get out.

This undisturbed environment is perfect for him to promote the 'spiritual revival' of the world.

and--

"The person who framed me is a very powerful figure."

"Kaori, you must take good care of yourself."

Ritsuki Akizuki held Kaori Inoue's hand in return and gave her some instructions, causing the girl to lower her head and blush.

"Ah."

"Mr. Qiuyue,"

The elegant lady Tokugawa Mitsuko, who was standing in the background, chimed in.

"I originally wanted to take your case. But—"

The Tokugawa family is no longer the "ruler of the land" they once were; they will not allow rashly interfering in the affairs of the new powerful figures.

"Feel sorry."

"No, Miss Tokugawa does not need to apologize;"

"As for Kaori, I'll leave her to your care."

Qiu Yueli politely communicated with the other party, and her superb acting skills were precisely the reason why the 'mastermind' was king.

"That's natural."

"By the way, Brother Lu."

The meeting was only half an hour long, which was not enough for the girl to pour out her heart; before leaving, Inoue Kaori hesitated to speak.

"Perhaps when you come out, you will find that the world has changed drastically."

"But rest assured, I will never change."

"Well, I believe you."

If it were an ordinary teenager, he would definitely be completely confused.
But Ritsu Akizuki knew what Kaori meant: news about 'supernatural existence' was already causing a huge uproar around the world.

No one could have imagined that

The whole thing started in the prison's reception room.

It would be interesting to wait two years and watch my girlfriend fight her case for me; but who is Qiu Yuelu?

A dignified transmigrator, upon arriving in this world, must resort to war!
Two years?

Do not,
Not even two months.
He immediately prepared to deal with the 'real culprit' who had put him in jail.
