A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 61 A Miracle for You
swish, swish—

In an empty cake shop, a boy with his head wrapped in bandages is enjoying a delicious meal.

No, simply 'enjoying a hearty meal' is not enough to describe it. The way he was 'pouring' the cake down his throat had already filled the little girl in the chef's uniform next to him with fear: she was afraid that he would wave his hand and grab her and shove her down her throat as well.

I've already eaten dozens of kilograms of various pastries in one go.
This person is hardly human!

"call,"

After devouring a huge amount of high-calorie food in one go, Eguchi finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"Come alive."

In a previous battle, he actually managed to fight his way through the monster horde.

But he was so hungry that his stomach was practically sticking to his back, and he almost fainted in the street; now, after eating a lot of food, he has finally recovered.

As everyone knows, the people in the One Piece world are all big eaters: the stronger they are, the more terrifying their appetite is. Those captains can easily devour a mountain of sea kings in one go.

The greater the energy consumed, the more energy needs to be replenished—that's 'scientific', isn't it?

Thanks, I—

The bandaged boy reached out and touched the clothes; not only was there no money, but his sportswear was also tattered.

The large amount of bandages peeking out from under the strips of cloth clothing was incredibly eerie; so when Jiang Gu claimed to be human, no one dared to believe him.

"No, no need,"

The girl at the cake shop waved her hands repeatedly.

"You saved me, so please accept this as a token of my gratitude."

"That's so embarrassing,"

Jiang Gu stood up and looked around. He then bought most of the store's merchandise in one go, and simply:
"Alright, I'll see you out."

? !
"Um, is that okay?"

The girl in the cake shop was stunned. The monsters were raging outside, but they hadn't affected the power system, so her phone could still access the internet. Naturally, she knew just how terrifying Meguro Ward was right now.

"no problem,"

Covered in bandages, Eguchi patted his chest.

"Those monsters are just intimidating to look at; they're actually quite weak."

Very weak?
The girl glanced sideways at the cash register that had been torn in two, and remained silent.

It seems that this bandaged weirdo's perception is different from that of ordinary people like her;

"Thank you then."

With her hands clasped in front of her, the girl bowed her head and thanked him.

In any case, since this 'weirdo' can communicate, let's not dwell on what he is: who wants to die if they can live?
"Follow me."

Having eaten and drunk his fill, Jiang Kou waved and prepared to charge out with the girl behind him.

In his view, these monsters were "all show and no substance," easily destroyed with a single punch or kick; they were nothing but paper tigers!

I never imagined that it was actually him who had become stronger.

Just a hot-blooded biker gang member.
One cannot expect it to engage in complex thinking.

"Please don't crowd!"

"What are you doing dragging your luggage at a time like this?"

On the outskirts of Yakumo-cho, near Setagaya Ward in Meguro Ward, a group of men in black suits were maintaining order.

These black suits, in terms of both temperament and demeanor, are completely different from those of the Yakuza; if the Yakuza are intimidating to behold, then these suits are the kind that make people feel inferior just by looking at them—their high-end, handmade, custom-made suits are soft and form-fitting, a style completely different from the padded-shoulder, hard look of the Yakuza.

"Rest assured, the Tokugawa family will protect you."

That's right, it's the Tokugawa family who are maintaining order!
Today, the Tokugawa family was holding a family banquet when they suddenly heard that the Meguro Ward had suffered a supernatural disaster. Led by the head of the family, many family members, drivers, and bodyguards rushed to the scene, most of whom were men. They were maintaining order and setting up a defensive line.

On the one hand, the Tokugawa family is located nearby, and if the monsters are allowed to spread and wreak havoc, the family will also be affected.

On the other hand, their family head has only just become a 'supernatural being'; if they turn around and run away now, how will they establish themselves in the island nation in the future?

Of course, it wouldn't really matter even if they did run away. After all, there are plenty of powerful families who have fled Setagaya Ward, and the Tokugawa family is no exception. It's just that the head of the Tokugawa family clearly wants to make a name for himself in this 'new era'.

That's why we're in this situation now.

The reason it is 'mostly men' is because some women have also joined.

"Keep order,"

Panic will only cause stampedes!

Mitsuko Tokugawa, a girl with long, straight black hair and a Hime-style hairstyle, also joined the ranks of those maintaining order, holding a megaphone.

The mere mention of the Tokugawa family's name is enough to make the Japanese kneel in fear.

And the samurai sword in the girl's hand,

It can also help citizens calm down.

Unlike the police, even if a tycoon really kills someone in the street, at most he'll just go through the motions of going to jail.

Once the storm has passed, obtaining an "Emperor's Pardon" will make things much easier.

It's the same as America's 'presidential pardon';

It can exempt one from most crimes.

Before a president steps down, they usually rush to issue a 'presidential pardon': the 'Sleepy King' who stepped down last year even gave one to his son.

Therefore, the order here is actually better maintained by the police than in other places.

"Kaori, you really didn't need to take this risk."

While maintaining traffic flow, the girl with long, straight black hair turned her head to look at her friend beside her.

Kaori Inoue

"We're friends,"

Kaori responded with a smile to Tokugawa Mitsuko's words.

"You've already invited me to your family dinner, how could I possibly leave you behind?"

Moreover, this is the outer perimeter of Meguro Ward: the head of the Tokugawa family is leading people to resist the monsters at the front, so their location is relatively safe.

Kaori is a guest of the Tokugawa family, and Mitsuko is a female member of the family, so they will definitely receive some 'preferential treatment'.

Since it's only 'relatively safe', that means:

"not good!"

"A hundred demons, leaders of their own rank, are charging this way!"

"Be careful to avoid!"

"Prepare for battle—"

Unexpected events can happen at any time. Warnings from the combat personnel at the front came through everyone's earpieces.

? !
"Hehehe~~"

"Mine, all of them are mine!"

A series of sinister laughs rapidly approached from afar, and a figure carrying a huge package leaped towards them at high speed.

This is a 'male' dressed in Heian period clothing, wearing straw sandals, with long, flowing hair, and a face that truly has 'thief-like eyes and a rat-like face,' with a few whiskers twitching on his protruding nose.

The most striking thing was the huge package he was carrying on his back.

The package was constantly wriggling and undulating, as if it contained a large number of 'living people'.

Why a person?
because:

"Help! Help!"

"It's so dark, so cold, so scary." Various screams came from the package, which were terrifying to hear.

"Block it!"

"Everyone, attack together!"

As the monster charged, several bodyguards from the nearby Tokugawa family shouted and charged forward, brandishing their long swords and short clubs to strike it.

Thud, thud, thud, thud!

The next second, these people were sent flying backwards, tumbling like gourds on the ground.

"Hehehe, get out of my way!"

Carrying a huge bundle, the physically 'shifty-eyed' monster kicked several people away and headed straight for:
Kaori Inoue and Mitsuko Tokugawa are charging in!
"Danger,"

Without a second thought, Tokugawa Mitsuko flashed in front of Kaori, blocking her path; his long sword slashed out horizontally, intending to force her away.

brush--

However, since the opponent is called a 'boss' level, its strength is naturally greater than that of an ordinary monster.

The long sword flashed, but the opponent simply leaped lightly and dodged it.

"I accept your soul!"

While still in mid-air, the monster carrying the enormous package reached out and placed its long-fingered fingers on Tokugawa Mitsuko's head.

Oh no!

boom!
A gunshot rang out behind me.

It's Kaori!
Logically speaking, firearms are far superior to cold weapons.

However, when it comes to dealing with the 'supernatural disaster' that has broken out today, cold weapons are stronger: only humans wielding cold weapons can resist these immortal monsters.

So when choosing a weapon, Mitsuko picked a pistol for Kaori, with no intention of letting her kill enemies at all.

Instead, it was used for self-preservation: but—

Bullets have no effect on monsters.
bite,

Pfft

"Um?!"

The force of the grab on her head caused her to tilt, only managing to fling Tokugawa Mitsuko away.

The monster carrying the enormous bundle suddenly dodged in mid-air, avoiding a streak of silver light that shot upwards.

This is the long sword in Mitsuko's hand! It's not that her swordsmanship is amazing, but rather that Kaori fired a shot randomly, which hit the ground and ricocheted, miraculously striking the back of her sword.

The longsword suddenly changed direction with astonishing speed, nearly beheading the monster: although the monster dodged it, the longsword still sliced ​​through the pack on its back, tearing out a long slit.

This turn of events was so dizzying that not only the others, but even Inoue Kaori, who fired the shot, was unaware of what had happened. Meanwhile, the Tokugawa family bodyguards who had just been kicked away had already gotten to their feet, one of them brandishing his sword and shouting:

"Don't be afraid! The more afraid you are, the stronger these monsters become!"

"Miss Protection!"

"Kill--"

Shouting slogans, the guys charged forward again.

They were the Tokugawa family's private bodyguards, paid by the lord and loyal to him.

Moreover, the Tokugawa clan is on the verge of rising to power, and now is the time for them to demonstrate their value.

Fight!

Maybe he will win?
They all knew that these monsters could only be defeated by 'bravery', so: clear your mind and just charge!

"Photon, are you alright?"

Kaori Inoue, who had originally intended to go forward to check on her friend, subconsciously stopped in her tracks.

Because in front of her, a bunch of 'spots of light' were floating around.

"I am free!"

"Damn 'Bangkok'."

"Don't be too happy yet. We'll still be caught once that 'barnacle dog' is discovered."

These orbs of light emitted human voices, as if a group of people were discussing: in fact, they were indeed human, just a dozen minutes ago.

"What should I do?"

"The only option left is to fight a war using objects as weapons."

"Fight? You must be kidding me, with our strength."

"Then let's find a 'master' and fight together."

The next second, these randomly flying 'spots of light' flew to Kaori's side and surrounded her.

"Young lady, come and sign. Oh dear!"

"Cut the nonsense!"

"Little girl, we need your strength, and you need our help."

From within the spot of light, a jumble of sounds could be heard.

“We worship you as our Lord, you provide us with a means of support, and we fight for you.”

"Hey, hey, hey?"

Kaori Inoue was completely baffled by these specks of light, and:

"Can't you find that possession item yourselves?"

"No, we disagree."

Without the will of a 'master', this mob is not capable of driving an independent 'possession'.

"what!"

On the other side, the screams of the Tokugawa family's bodyguards being repelled once again rang out, along with:

"My baby? Where is my baby?!"

Having discovered its package, the ripped-open monster 'Pouch Raccoon' suddenly turned its head, its wide eyes locking onto Inoue Kaori.

"Thief!!"

The next second, the other party charged at him without any regard for anything else.

???

"I promise you—"

Instinctively raising the gun in her hand, the girl simultaneously pulled the trigger.

"The contract is established."

"it is good,"

"Everyone, come on—"

The drifting specks of light flew into the gun in the girl's hand, then transformed into a streak of white light and shot out.

boom!
?

The overwhelming 'threat' caused the monster to instinctively dodge to the side.
boom! ! !
Kaori Inoue hadn't actually touched the gun; this was her second time firing, and her aim was still incredibly bad. However, miraculously, the direction her opponent dodged happened to collide with the light.

As the saying goes, it's better to have a good offense than a good defense.

In the explosion of light, the monster carrying the package was instantly blasted into dust and scattered!
"Ok?"

Even someone took notice of it.
