Shota is surrounded by monsters!

Page 75

Rea called out to the bucket in Shota's hand a few times, and sure enough, after a ripple, Mashiro poked her little head out from inside.

"It's good that you're alright."

After stuffing Mashiro's head back into the bucket, Shota said to Rea, "It seems we should go back first."

"Ah."

Rei nodded and replied, "We still need to take care of Mashiro-chan's matter first."

Just as Shota and Rea were about to leave the park.

"Hey. You forgot something."

Hearing a somewhat familiar voice, Shota turned around and saw a green tea bottle flying towards him. He instinctively caught the full bottle of green tea and recognized that the contents were indeed Mashiro's bodily fluids. The bottle was the one Mashiro had been holding before getting into the car.

With these added, Mashiro can return to her original state before getting on the bus.

Thanks.

Shota was about to thank Yomi Isayama who was standing there when he froze for a moment.

He noticed that the girl, whom he thought was strong, had a slightly swollen face, her expression was anything but happy, and even her eyes were slightly red and swollen.

"Although I don't know what happened, the bottle is made of non-biodegradable plastic. If you just throw it away, it will pollute the environment. Also, what if it hits a child? Even if it doesn't hit a child, it's still wrong to hit the flowers and plants."

Seemingly to cover up her embarrassment, Huang Quan returned the words that Shota had used against her earlier to him.

It seems the aftermath wasn't a good ending at all. The engaged couple must have had a huge fight, right? No, they probably even came to blows—they did it before Shota left.

"what happened?"

Rei asked, somewhat puzzled.

"So that I can enjoy the delicious spiritual energy, so that you can taste the delicious blood of a virgin exorcist, and so that the future teacher of the orphan girl I might adopt..."

After saying something that Rea couldn't understand at all, Shota suddenly broke into a hearty laugh and said to Yomi, who was standing not far away:

"You've really helped me a lot. How about I treat you to lunch as a token of my appreciation?"

Chapter 70. Strategy

"This is my home."

Leading the down-on-his-luck exorcist back to his home, Shota pinched his nose and said, "It's a bit small, please make yourself at home."

"Excuse me..."

Huang Quan didn't know why he had agreed to play with a group of monsters. Half a year ago, no, even two weeks ago, his first reaction upon encountering these monsters would have been to draw his sword and attack. But now, they had already arrived at the monsters' lair.

It must be because the people in front of them seem more like ordinary people than monsters, right?

Having been instilled with an elite education since childhood and frequently skipping classes after starting school, Yomi has almost no friends. Besides Kagura, her only friends are the middle-aged men in the Countermeasures Office who seem out of place, and Iizuna Noriyuki. Her recent acquaintance, Senjougahara, in some ways holds her in higher regard. Whenever the two are together, she either trains or asks questions.

On the contrary, this yokai friend, if you include the notes, is probably the person I've talked to the most since transferring schools, right? More than Senjougahara.

So, in the end, Huang Quan did not refuse Shota's invitation and followed him here.

A lair that doesn't look like a monster's lair.

"and many more!"

Rea hurriedly ran into the room and started tidying up. After all, Rea was a bit of a lazy girl in some ways—because the Sanka family's maids did the cleaning every week, and Mashiro often caused some minor damage. Shota liked to stuff food into every corner he could see, so the room looked a bit messy.

Now that someone is coming to visit, Rei has no choice but to tidy up herself.

As Rea entered the room, Shota went into the bathroom and poured Mashiro into the bathtub, asking, "What flavor do you want?"

"strawberry……"

"You've finished the strawberry juice, so how about watermelon juice? It's pink, which you like anyway."

Back home, the most important thing was definitely to take good care of Mashiro, the little tyrant. Shota ran to the refrigerator, took out all the watermelon juice, then carried it to the bathroom, poured it all into the bathtub one by one, and asked, "Feeling better?"

"Um……"

Shiro's head emerged from the water, her face still bearing traces of red from the watermelon juice she had just added.

"Then take a good rest."

Shota added some more flavoring and milk candy to the bathtub, closed the bathroom door, and went out again.

It turned out that Huang Quan was still standing awkwardly at the door.

Oh no, I forgot to entertain them.

"It's a bit messy, please excuse me."

Shota took out a pair of guest slippers and placed them at the door, saying somewhat apologetically, "Please come in and sit down for a while."

"It's nothing." Seeing the group of monsters bustling around like ordinary people, Huang Quan lowered his guard and said with a hint of apprehension, "No need to trouble yourself, just make room for us to sit down."

Turning his head to look at Rea, he saw her carrying her computer and walking into her room. The living room was finally tidy enough to be presentable, so Shota invited her in.

Huang Quan hesitated for a moment, then left the Lion King at the door and walked in while looking around the room.

It was no different from a place where ordinary people lived; it had everything one would expect and nothing one wouldn't, and there was absolutely no trace of darkness. If there was anything different, it was that there were many signs of repairs and maintenance, as if a fierce battle had taken place inside.

"These, these should all be Li Mi Nong."

Shota noticed Yomi's confusion and explained, "When she first became a monster, she couldn't control her power. It took her several days of special training at home before she could finally go out safely. Otherwise, she would definitely have run into a telephone pole as soon as she went out."

Do monsters also have all sorts of troubles?

After Huang Quan sat down, he asked a question with some doubt.

"Of course. After all, this is a human society, and if you can't get used to it, you'll definitely cause all sorts of trouble."

Shota handed Yomi a bottle of juice, saying, "This is all we have, make do with this."

"Oh, thank you."

"Shouta-kun."

Rea opened her door and waved to Shota.

"Hmm?" Shota stood up in confusion, gestured for Yomi to make herself at home, and then went inside.

After seeing Shota leave temporarily, Huang Quan remained silent for a while, then suddenly realized that the man in front of her had probably seen all of her embarrassing moments today.

Although she was still a little angry, Huang Quan calmed herself down as she walked, and by the time she got here, she could basically pretend that what had just happened hadn't. Although she knew that what happened in the park was a misunderstanding deliberately created by the countermeasures team, what Iizuna Noriyuki said and did was true. She and Iizuna Noriyuki were always like this, and they often had conflicts, but this time it was just a little more serious.

Oh no, I should have known better than to come.

Huang Quan began to regret it; in his current state, he felt like he was seeking comfort.

"Shota-kun, um, is there something you need from bringing her here?"

Rea lowered her voice, head bowed, and mustered her courage to ask this question. After all, she hadn't understood anything Shota had said before inviting her. Seeing Shota chatting with Yomi on the way, and even bringing her directly to his house, Rea felt a sense of crisis.

"Win her over!"

Shota answered Rea's question as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Hey!"

Rea exclaimed in surprise, and Shota quickly covered her mouth. Seeing her strange expression, he explained, "Didn't you want to try the exorcist's virgin blood last time?"

"Look, we can't do anything bad, like kidnapping someone from outside, right? And Huang Quan seems to meet the criteria, so let's take advantage of her bad mood and try to get closer to her. Maybe we can discuss getting her to donate some blood for free?"

After listening to Shota's words, Rea realized that this so-called strategy was not what she thought at all. She patted her chest in relief, but then Shota continued:

"Of course, if possible, it would be even better if the relationship progressed to the point where she would let me take a bite."

"bite?"

Rei tilted her head, not understanding Shota's meaning.

"It's just licking..."

“But… Shota-chan.” Rea pointed out the problem in Shota’s words, saying, “Shouldn’t people who develop this kind of relationship usually be boyfriend and girlfriend?”

It seems that's indeed the case. Even his "good friend" Senjougahara doesn't allow him to lick her unless absolutely necessary. No, although she often teases Shota with her fingers, Shota always believes that if he licks her at such times, he'll never be able to hold his head high again as a glutton.

Generally, if a girl willingly lets a boy lick her, it should only be possible if they are in a romantic relationship.

"Oh dear, this is a bit troublesome. Let's remove my request then. No..."

Shota hesitated for a moment, then took out his phone and sent out a text message with a few quick clicks.

About half a minute later, someone replied.

"The Nura Clan isn't a shady organization that sells date rape drugs, Shota-san, what exactly are you trying to do?! —By Rikuo"

"whispering sound."

"What's wrong with Shota-kun?"

Seeing a hint of disappointment in Shota's eyes, Rea mustered her courage and said, "Actually, if Shota-kun wants to eat an energy body, I can also contribute my demonic energy..."

"Reiya!"

Shota, with a serious expression, patted Rea on the shoulder and said, "While I'm glad you did this, actually consuming your demonic energy feels like swallowing my own saliva! Because your essence originated from me!"

"...Shota-kun, you're so hurtful!"

"Don't say that. At least from this perspective, it makes it seem like I've been silently dedicating myself to you all along."

Shota patted Rea's head and said, "Alright, let's go out now. At least let you taste some delicious blood."

"Well then, please take care of it, Shota-kun. As a reward, I will work hard to learn cooking skills!"

Reiya waved her arm cleanly and confidently.

I'm hungry.

Rei suddenly added a sentence, sounding somewhat listless.

Let's order takeout.

"Huh?"

"The Nura Clan contacted a blood bank for me, so I can buy blood to drink, and it's my specific blood type. What flavor would you like?"

"……don't want."

Don't be a picky eater.
