In Tokyo, the dungeon master

Gu Meng said calmly, "You're awake."

He acted as if he were the master of the house.

Mrs. Shirakawa couldn't help but suspect that he was a yokai like Nurarihyon.

It is said that Nurarihyon looks like a human and likes to go into other people's houses to freeload. It looks weak, but it is actually very strong and can even launch the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. It is a great yokai.

Mrs. Shirakawa lowered her head even further, her fear growing ever deeper.

"There aren't many ingredients in the fridge, but luckily I don't need to eat anything. This is all yours, it should be enough."

Gu Meng seemingly used his hands, but in reality, he used his mental power to cast a zero-level magic trick similar to a mage's hand, placing the plate on the table and even pulling out a chair for Mrs. Shirakawa.

Shirakawa Manka's brain seemed unable to comprehend what was happening before him; he could cook?

Could this person really not be a demon at all? Or perhaps a benevolent monster?

No, we can't trust them so quickly; this must be a devil's scheme!

After a moment of silence, Shirakawa Manka did not sit down, but she also did not dare to leave.

"..."

"..."

"I asked you to sit down, Mrs. Shirakawa."

Left with no other choice, Gu Meng kindly pointed to the chair.

Because Gu Meng possessed innate bloodline suppression and mental strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, Bai Chuan Wan Hua involuntarily trembled and shuddered. She quickly sat down in a chair, appearing very obedient and soft, unlike an adult.

Gu Meng shook his head helplessly, not knowing what to say. He hadn't used any kind of magic to actually intimidate anyone; it was just a passive effect. Anyone with a slightly strong will wouldn't be affected.

He's over thirty years old and has received some extraordinary education from his family since childhood, so why is he still like this after just one night?

Couldn't you at least breathe on it?

Could I be some kind of multi-headed monster?

Isn't she the kind of person who dares to defy her father's arrangements, run away from home, and be independent?

Shouldn't they be mentally strong?

At first, I thought he was a reliable adult in a critical moment.

In retrospect, it seems that she wasn't afraid because her father was also a son-in-law of the Shirakawa family, and that's why she wasn't afraid at all, rather than because she was truly courageous.

Fine, since that's the case, let's just treat her like a child.

"I had more to tell you, but now it seems there's no need for that. You'll agree anyway, right?"

"Huh? What is it?" Mrs. Shirakawa asked, somewhat bewildered.

"It's okay, you should eat first. I just made it, it'll get cold if you don't eat it."

Shirakawa Manka hesitated, even trembling.

She looked at the fried egg, minced meat, lettuce, sausage salad, and toast that looked pretty good... There must have been drugs in it, right?

Once you've eaten it, there's no going back.

Then the two fell silent again.

"I'll let you eat, Mrs. Shirakawa."

Gu Meng kindly reminded him again.

Mrs. Shirakawa trembled again, and looked at Gu Meng pleadingly. She found him staring at her sternly, his eyes like those of a demon, so she immediately lowered her head again.

"We have important things to discuss after we finish eating. My time is very valuable, so please don't waste it."

Mrs. Shirakawa didn't dare to resist at all, and she eventually sat down slowly.

"Huh? Why aren't you eating? I told you to eat, are you deaf?"

Mrs. Shirakawa dared not respond and ate with tears of humiliation streaming down her face.

Hmm... I'm not satisfied. Once I start eating, I can't stop.

Why, why is it so delicious? Even Michelin-starred restaurants... no, those things don't even deserve to be compared to it!

It's hard to believe this is human cooking skill; is this the work of gods and spirits?

Was he the Toast Master in his previous life?

Shirakawa Manka swallowed hard, lost in thought.

It felt like I was floating in a golden wheat field, with golden light shimmering before my eyes.

Then, in an instant, I saw eggs and sausages talking to me, countless large sausages surrounding me, and I even had an urge to take off my clothes...

They really did drug it!

Mrs. Shirakawa shed tears of joy because it was so delicious; she was overjoyed by the luminous dish and the egg sausage.

"Why are you crying? Stop crying!"

"Waaaaah... You're bullying me... I'm not crying... I'm just so happy... Waaaaah, Chiyana, I'm sorry... I'm not a good mother... I can't go back."

Mrs. Shirakawa's words were incoherent, and she completely broke down, wiping away tears with both hands, her eyes seemingly losing their luster.

"Cry, cry, I won't wait for you. Don't cry!"

Gu Meng died without a word. Did he do anything?

This person is such a hassle!

In order to better exploit Mrs. Shirakawa later, he even used a low-level zero-effect food magic to replenish her stamina, even though he hadn't done anything yet.

Gu Meng rolled his eyes and declared that Mrs. Shirakawa was a pig!

She was excluded from her good shot zone because she was too soft and muscular.

Gu Meng only admires true strongmen.

A handsome man like myself is only fit for the strong!

……

Well, that's what they say, but contracts are still necessary. We should still get involved in the necessary processes and experiments.

If you're looking for true comrades-in-arms and reliable subordinates, Shirakawa Wanka wouldn't qualify. But Gu Meng isn't looking for that kind of talent this time, so Shirakawa, you pass the test.

Even if stronger talents are needed to provide more powerful fantasy crystals later, we can just replace them later. If we lose Shirakawa, we still have Toyokawa.

"Let's get straight to the point. I don't want to waste any more time with you. So, are you willing to sign a contract with me to become a magical young... or a magical mature woman?"

Gu Meng didn't embellish anything fancy; he simply guided the discussion towards this straightforward, hypothetical scenario.

Those settings that require gradual upgrades and strengthening are not suitable for the emotionally fragile Shirakawa Manka. The most normal magical girl is enough. I hope she doesn't imagine herself as someone like Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

Although Gu Meng is a grandmaster of the power of despair and the greatest dark mage in the history of the other world, even Adam, the "Ancestor of Man," and Oman, the "All Man," cannot surpass him in this field, using that power of despair makes him look too much like a villain.

Shirakawa Manka was stunned; how could things have developed so differently from what she had imagined?

After you drugged me, shouldn't you have done all sorts of things to me, flipped me over, folded me up to the extreme, made me look terrible, driven me completely crazy, messed up my fair, plump, sweaty, sexy body, and given me all sorts of exciting ways to play with me and unlock all sorts of CGs?

Isn't that how it is in Gala Gemuri?

She couldn't believe it: "Magical Girl... but magical girl doesn't have tentacle monsters?"

"Woman, you're really shameless."

Gu Meng looked at his wife with disdain.

"Oh no, I misspoke," the woman blushed instantly. "Oh, so you're this type of messenger?"

She muttered to herself, "Kero-type? No, since it's humanoid... upon closer inspection, it's actually a handsome guy, it must be a snow rabbit..."

Gu Meng knew what Shirakawa Manka was talking about; judging by her age, she was indeed an audience member of the original moe queen Sakura's generation.

"Yes, that's it. You seem to know a lot about this. Anyway, it's pretty much it..."

Gu Meng wouldn't be too certain about his first infection experiment.

While precise planning allows for targeted extraction, it also consumes more of the imagination power of talented individuals. Let's wait until we have more resources later. In short, let's extract some usable magical energy first.

Gu Meng wants to advance to the first primordial essence as soon as possible and become a true superhuman again. It's still too inconvenient for his current spiritual body to only use spell-like abilities.

As long as enough energy can be extracted, with Gu Meng's foundation and extraordinary wisdom, he can easily return to that realm.

Moreover, since she's imagining a character like Sakura, she should be able to extract some kind of versatile magic.

Easy to assemble and quick to access, this is the kind of power that traditional magical girls possess. The magic in the Sakura system can even be used to create cards.

"But... I'm not a primary school student anymore... And it's not like there are no supernatural powers left in the world... Besides, magical girls... I'm not a NEET, really not, I'm past the age of believing... But you also said..."

Mrs. Shirakawa had a lot to say, but Gu Meng's Japanese wasn't good, and he couldn't understand her unless she spoke clearly.

"That's enough! Straighten your tongue before you speak!"

"Ah, red bean paste, secret masai!"

Mrs. Shirakawa instinctively bowed deeply to Gu Meng, her enormous, shameful body trembling a few times.

Gu Meng stared blankly at Bai Chuan Wan Hua, finding it hard to believe that this woman, who initially seemed quite intelligent, had suddenly become so soft and gentle.

Is this what they call a leopard transformation?

Gu Meng shook his head, and without waiting for her to think, spoke directly:

"Summoned by the ritual, I have crossed the Wheel of Restraint and manifested in this world. In accordance with the oath of blood, I am the current head of the Shirakawa family, Shirakawa Manka—"

This time, Gu Meng really used a spell-like ability, using his high mental strength of nine points to intimidate Mrs. Shirakawa.

"Hai!"

Shirakawa Manka stood at attention, her mind blank from the mental shock.

"Would you like to become a magical girl and fight alongside me to slay the demons and monsters that have escaped their seal?"

After careful consideration, Gu Meng chose the battle-oriented script, as it was the easiest to stimulate imagination. Battles are exhilarating.

Moreover, generally speaking, becoming a magical girl definitely involves fighting; I've never seen a magical girl who doesn't fight, which makes perfect sense.

"I do."

In the past, she might have hesitated for a long time, but Shirakawa Manka, who was intimidated, had no choice.

"Therefore, the oath is made. From now on, you may call me master."

"Ma...Master!"

"Your voice is too soft, I can't hear you at all! You think you can be a magical girl if you speak so softly?! You're making the Shirakawa family lose all face!"

"Yes, Master!!"

Mrs. Shirakawa raised her hands high, as if praising the sun.

"Still not enough, let's start over!"

Gu Meng announced that he had mastered the method of training Shirakawa Manka!

"Try again, and say your name too!"

"Yes! Master!! I! Shirakawa! Manka! Shirakawa! Tokyo! From today onwards! I will become! A new magical girl! Please take good care of me, Master! Yorushi Kuru!"

"Great, that's very energetic!"

Gu Meng secretly used the [Extreme Darkness·Infiltration] link to the inscription, launching the seed of fantasy.

He then solemnly engraved a certificate on the back of her hand in front of her, a heart-shaped magic mark with relatively complex patterns around it.

Only those with magical powers or those who are born "sightable" can see it.

This spell is ostensibly a contract certificate for magical girls, but in reality, it's useless for the time being.

Gu Meng's power is currently too weak to even make a magic wand. He is only using this emblem to strengthen the other party's belief so that he can extract more power from them later.
