This means that she has a chance to marry him.

"So, what kind of girl do you like?"

Upon hearing this, Iruma thought for a moment and said, "I like people who can eat and are kind. That's all."

She has a big appetite and is kind-hearted.

Isn't that talking about me?

Iruma continued, "Wouldn't it be wonderful for two people to travel around the world together and eat all sorts of delicious food?"

"Mmm-hmm." Kanroji Mitsuri nodded repeatedly, imagining the scene of the two of them traveling together.

She gets especially shy when the other person feeds her delicious food.

Just as the moon was rising, the two finally arrived at the village in the forest.

The village was sparsely populated, with only a few houses having their lights on.

Iruma's nose twitched slightly as he sensed the strangeness in the surrounding air, and he instinctively shielded the other person behind him.

"Watch out, something strange is happening!"

Chapter 469 Starving Ghost

Iruma

"babble!"

Kanroji Mitsuri was taken aback by the other person's actions; this was the first time she had been protected by someone.

I used to be the one protecting others.

That strange feeling spread through my heart.

Is this what love feels like?

Although Iruma is a Rank 1 member, his terrifying arm strength is something that even Rank 1 members cannot overcome.

Even with great grip strength, can a stick-on car weighing over 100 pounds be lifted with one hand?

He's just one step away from killing enough demons, or slaying the Twelve Demon Moons, to become a Pillar.

Iruma placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily, ready to draw his sword and strike at any moment.

The aura of ghosts around was unusually strong, far exceeding the normal range of individuals acting alone or in pairs.

"Is a ghost coming?"

Kanroji Mitsuri also gripped the hilt of the sword.

The forest has many different smells, and among them are several bloody and foul odors.

Iruma didn't linger and continued walking towards the village with Kanroji Mitsuri.

The two arrived at a house and gently knocked on the door.

Iruma tried to make his voice as friendly as possible: "Hello, we are citizens of Asakusa, Tokyo Prefecture, who are passing through here. It's dark now, do you have a place to rest?"

Inside the door, the firelight flickered, and three footsteps sounded, with only one of the heaviest footsteps approaching.

"What brings you city folks to a place like this?"

The man inside the door sounded wary, as if he didn't believe what the other person was saying at all.

Upon hearing this, Iruma pondered for a moment, then made up a story without batting an eye: "My wife and I just returned from her hometown today."

"It's just a pity that it's dark. Traveling at night is really not safe. Please make an exception."

Kanroji Mitsuri, standing nearby, felt her heart flutter and even picked out the wedding venue.

"Hehe~ Hehehe~"

What is this girl grinning about?

Iruma felt a little confused, but he didn't pay much attention to it and continued to negotiate with the man inside.

"Balabalala 999+"

Listening to the young man outside the door talking incessantly, the man inside initially suspected that he was an evil spirit. But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that if he were an evil spirit, he wouldn't need to waste so much breath talking.

They've probably already entered and started fighting.

“Okay.” The man agreed and slowly opened the door.

As the door opened, the figures of the two were revealed: a handsome man and an extraordinary woman.

The middle-aged man stared at the two of them, somewhat stunned.

"He really is a handsome man; he doesn't look like a monster at all."

He focused his gaze on Kanroji Mitsuri, whose cherry blossom pink hair with greenish-blue ends was truly peculiar.

"Your wife is truly an extraordinary woman."

Hearing people say that made Kanroji Mitsuri feel a little sad. After all, her hair color and muscles looked strange no matter where she went.

Iruma raised his hand to interrupt: "My wife has always been beautiful, thank you."

what?

When did I praise him?

The middle-aged man looked completely bewildered, while Kanroji Mitsuri's face turned as red as an apple.

He just stood there grinning like an idiot.

""

Seeing that the mother and son opposite him were stunned, Iruma gave an awkward smile: "I'm sorry, my wife may have been..."

What could it be?!

Iruma racked his brains but couldn't think of a way to say it.

We can't exactly say she was possessed by an evil spirit, can we?

The man shook his head repeatedly: "It's alright, it's alright, please come in quickly, it's dangerous outside."

"Thank you."

As soon as the two entered the house, the man quickly closed the door shut.

Iruma asked with a hint of doubt, "Sir, what is this?"

The man's eyes were filled with fear: "Although you city folks wouldn't believe me if I told you this, there are many man-eating monsters around the village."

Are there many?

Now Iruma was even more certain that he hadn't misjudged the smell when he arrived.

The quantity is truly enormous.

A moment later, in front of the stove fire.

Iruma watched Kanroji Mitsuri eat quietly, having already successfully fed her the last bit of food left in her family.

She originally wanted to eat less, but Iruma insisted that she eat her fill.

The man felt heartbroken as he watched the food dwindle, yet also sensed something was amiss.

Do city dwellers eat this much?

Don't try to fool me, I'm not very educated.

Noticing the man's unusual expression, Iruma pulled out a large wad of cash from his pocket.

"Eh?!!!"

Upon seeing such an astonishing amount of money, the family of three nearly jumped onto the roof.

Iruma, however, remained calm: "This is my wife's meal expenses, as well as the cost of our temporary accommodation for today."

“My wife has always had a good appetite, so I don’t want her to go hungry.”

Upon hearing this, Kanroji Mitsuri smiled sweetly, then lowered her head and continued eating.

The family of three stared at the banknotes laid out on the ground, their eyes glued to them.

"Isn't this amount a bit too much?"

“Our family’s grain and mountain products are not worth that much.”

The man was genuinely hesitant to accept this unexpected windfall.

After all, that much money is enough for them to renovate the entire house and buy cattle and sheep to raise.

Iruma smiled faintly at this, his expression calm and gentle: "It's just a little money, nothing much."

Man: "A little."

Wife: "Small change?!"

The two were completely stunned by each other's generosity and couldn't help but sigh, "City people are so extravagant."
