The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

"Hanako-nee, do you remember how I became the temple's heir?" Ishihara Akira chuckled, setting down his chopsticks and asking Hanako in return.

"..." Hanako remained silent. As Ishihara Akira's cousin, she naturally knew how Ishihara Akira had come to be—

He was brought back from outside by her uncle, Takuma Ishihara.

In other words, Ishihara Sho is the offspring of Ishihara Takuma, and the object of his affections is a female benefactor for whom he once performed a religious ceremony!

However, for various reasons, the female benefactor did not send Ishihara Chang back directly. Instead, she raised him until he was seven or eight years old. Then, due to the decline of her family and her own health issues—she fell seriously ill and needed to use her money for medical treatment—she was unable to continue raising Ishihara Chang and had no choice but to send him back.

Only after sufficient scientific genetic testing was he brought back by Uncle Zhuomo to be trained as the successor of the temple.

However, in return, the woman completely severed ties with Ishihara Akira and never contacted him again. She has no idea what his current situation is.

Anyway, neither she nor her mother cares.

"So, you mean..."

Let a female believer act as the mother to help raise your child, and then bring the child back when needed.

In this way, the temple will not lack an heir, and he can continue to live a dissolute life without having to consider marriage. He can do whatever he wants and fool around with women.

“It’s exactly what you’re thinking, Hanako-nee,” Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

"...Although I don't know if what you're doing is right or wrong, I still feel that finding a woman you love to marry, living together, running the temple together, and raising children together is the choice a normal man should make." Hanako was silent for a while before shaking her head and sighing helplessly.

"Even if the person I want to marry is Hanako-nee, is that okay?" Ishihara Akira asked with a smile, looking at Hanako in front of him.

"Huh? You're just joking. Our country's laws don't allow siblings to become husband and wife." Hanako was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes at him and said in an annoyed tone.

“We can skip registration and just live together,” Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

"If you keep joking with me, I'm going to get angry," Hanako said, feigning seriousness.

"Hanako-nee, are you really not going to consider your little brother? After all, compared to your boyfriend, your little brother is much more popular and more capable."

"Shut up." Hanako stood up and pretended to slap Ishihara Sho, warning him.

"What a pity." Ishihara Shū shrugged and continued to enjoy the food in front of him.

……

With his first successful case, Ishihara Akira began to explore another way to create superpowers.

"What kind of superpower do you want?" In the same hotel, in a different room, Ishihara Akira asked Takahashi Ayami, a part-time shrine maiden who had been tricked by the eight-foot woman.

"Abilities can be chosen?" Takahashi Ayami asked in surprise.

“I don’t know what the situation is like on other people’s side, but I have a choice here,” Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

"President, do you have any ability that can make someone instantly rich?" Takahashi Ryomi asked, her eyes shining.

"It can give you the ability to see through things, and then you can use it to go to Las Vegas. As long as you plan it properly, it's still easy to make yourself rich," Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

"Las Vegas? Forget about it. I'm afraid even if I won money there, I wouldn't be alive to bring it back to Japan," Takahashi Reimi said dejectedly.

"Then I can't help you. After all, any other way to make you rich is illegal. If you don't want to experience the loss of freedom again, I advise you to start from a practical point."

Chapter 135 Progressing Slowly

"Is there any kind of superpower that can change a person's body shape and allow them to eat whatever they want without gaining weight?" Takahashi Reimi asked again after thinking for a while.

"Hmm, there really is one." Ishihara Akira tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying.

A superpower that's only mentioned in comics, I think it's called grease manipulation?

It's basically an ability to control the transfer and changes of fat in the human body.

In the original work, the faction inherited by Misaki Shokuhou was originally owned by this esper, because she could change the body shape of girls, making them look more mature and upright...

Therefore, he gained popularity.

"Really?" Takahashi Ryomi asked in surprise.

"Really? Are you sure you want this ability?" Ishihara Akira finally confirmed.

“Yes, yes, I want this ability.” Takahashi Reimi nodded repeatedly.

"Then drink this potion." Ishihara Akira handed the newly made fly agaric potion to Takahashi Ayami. Takahashi Ayami, like a naive and innocent girl, did not suspect anything, took the thermos, opened the lid, and poured the unknown liquid inside into her mouth.

Then, Takahashi Ayami's head swayed, and she fell heavily onto the bed.

My eyes swayed, and the whole world became bizarre and distorted.

Ishihara Sho smiled, closed his eyes, and materialized this ability in his dream world. He then channeled it into the strange eight-foot woman that Takahashi Ryomi already possessed, and the eight-foot woman began to modify Takahashi Ryomi's body.

After observing her condition for a while, Ishihara Akira climbed onto the bed next to her and calmly practiced his yoga techniques.

Anyway, he's made up his mind now that he won't travel to other dimensions until he's mastered the secrets of yoga and manifested his chakra!

At most, he'll occasionally return to the Naruto world to check on the progress of his modification plan.

However, it's worth mentioning that, probably because he gained more than half of the authority over the Naruto world, the gap between the time flow in the Naruto world and reality has changed again. Although it hasn't directly declined to a one-to-one ratio, meaning one day in the real world equals one day in the Naruto world, it is gradually shifting towards that ratio over time.

Therefore, even if Ishihara Sho doesn't log into the Naruto world for ten days or half a month, there's no need to worry about the difference in time flow, causing four or five years to pass in the Naruto world in an instant, making people like Terumi Mei wonder if the Daimyo has already died.

This put Ishihara Sho down a lot of mind.

This is why he dares to roam freely and boldly in the real world, and even develop his influence.

It's not simply because mastering the secrets of yoga only takes a little over a month.

……

As usual, Takahashi Ayami woke up from her coma a dozen hours later.

"Have I succeeded or failed?" Takahashi Reimi, unaware of any changes in her body, asked Ishihara Sho, who was standing next to her.

"Why don't you try it and you'll see?" Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

"How do I do it?"

"You can just think about it. For example, if you want your chest to be bigger, your butt to be perkier, or your thighs to be thinner, just imagine that the fat in those areas is being transferred to the areas that need it," Ishihara Akira explained.

"Oh." Takahashi Ryomi suddenly realized and began to operate according to Ishihara Sho's instructions.

Sure enough, after only a short while, Takahashi Ayami felt her clothes become tighter. Her previously loose chest area became taut due to the change in her figure, which was quite effective.

"That's fantastic!" Takahashi Ryomi exclaimed in delight.

"By the way, is this ability only effective on myself, or can it also be used on others?"

"Currently, it should only be useful to you, but after a long period of practice, it will probably be able to be used on others. What, you want to use your ability on someone else?"

"Yeah, as a man, you wouldn't know how enthusiastic we girls are about changing our bodies. If I could apply that to others, I'd have the key to wealth, and I could become rich in no time. I've decided, when I get back I'll start training, and I must be able to use my abilities on others as soon as possible." Takahashi Reimi said with a determined look, as if she had found a goal to strive for.

"And then someone discovers something is wrong, reports it, and the police take them away for investigation?" Ishihara Akira reminded him with a cold smile.

In Japan, "public security" does not refer to the police force, but rather to the department responsible for national security. In fact, it originally referred to the infamous Special Higher Police (THD) itself, which gives us an idea of ​​its functions.

Even Ishihara Sho suspected that the Aimi who was taken away earlier might be being held and studied in one of their subordinate research institutes.

“Uh…” Takahashi Ryomi paused, her expression turning embarrassed.

"So if you want to make money with this ability, you need to plan carefully. For example, open a massage parlor, offer some dubious beauty services, and then use your abilities to help clients transform their bodies. For instance, if a client is too overweight and wants to become slimmer, you could use some dubious drugs to perform liposuction, a little bit every day for a period of time. That way, even if the client's final change is significant, no one will suspect you have superpowers; they will think your technique is good and the drugs you used are effective enough. That's the way you should be doing it," Ishihara Akira advised.

“Oh right. But I don’t have any money,” Takahashi Ryomi said, shrugging.

"Have you forgotten our organization? If you really want to open a massage parlor, I can invest in you in the name of the organization, take a share, and enjoy dividends. That way, you can open the massage parlor, and the organization will also have a source of income, or even a special meeting place. I don't think you would refuse such a thing, would you?"

"No, no, I'd love for someone to invest in me," Takahashi Ryomi chuckled dryly.

"That's good. These are relevant materials on ability development. Study them yourself. If you have any questions, have the eight-foot woman contact me."

"Ok."

"You go."

"Yes."

Then, Takahashi Ryomi stood up, took her things, and left the hotel room owned by Ishihara Shō, disappearing from Ishihara Shō's sight.

"We have someone who can help convert the data from the dream world into electronic signals (Kyoko Iwase), and we also have someone who can help us make money (Ayomi Takahashi). Now all that's left is to build connections. I wonder how Haruka Sato is doing in that regard... I hope there won't be any problems."

As for Aya Kobayashi, although the well-known lawyer he hired had worked hard to advance the case to the stage of submitting it to the prosecutor's office for review, it would still take another three to seven days before the final trial. Therefore, he did not know whether he could help Aya Kobayashi be completely exonerated and regain her freedom.

"If all else fails, perhaps we'll have to act sooner rather than later..."

For example, personally arranging the judge's office.

Chapter 136 Insurance

Ishihara Akira acted on his thoughts immediately. He made a call to the lawyer who was preparing defense materials for Kobayashi Aya, and after finding out which district prosecutor and court would ultimately handle Kobayashi Aya's case, he changed his clothes, took transportation to his destination, and without even going inside, he used his mental energy to scan the entire building, recording the mental frequencies of all the staff working inside. With a pull, everyone was recorded in the dream world.

Next, all you need to do is enter the dream world and guide the process, and everything will be complete.

So Ishihara Akira didn't hesitate. He immediately found a hotel nearby, booked a room, closed his eyes, entered the dream world, and with a thought, pulled the judges into the dream world.

However, they were not placed together, but isolated one by one, like being locked in a dark room, and each of them gave rise to a corresponding demonic thought, which appeared before the judges.

"Who are you! Don't you know that illegally detaining a public official is a crime? Release me now before things get out of hand, so I can consider that you're young and naive and this is your first offense, and not pursue the matter further, as if nothing happened today." A relatively calm judge shouted at Ishihara Akira, who appeared in front of him.

"Heh, it seems you haven't figured out the current situation yet." Ishihara Akira chuckled upon hearing this, and then snapped his fingers. The judge's body was lifted up as if by an invisible giant, and his body floated upwards uncontrollably.

"This is not reality, but my private domain. Here I am king. If you don't want to be treated inhumanely, I advise you to cooperate."

At the same time, as Ishihara Akira's thoughts shifted, one after another, grotesque creatures with terrifying appearances emerged from the void around him. Some stood with their heads bowed, some lay prostrate on the ground like monsters, and some hung upside down from the ceiling, their eerie, scarlet, inhuman eyes fixed on the judge in front of them.

"What, what exactly do you want to do?" the judge asked nervously.

“Simple. Tell me about your dark history. For example, have you ever accepted bribes? Have you ever been wrongly convicted because of personal connections, or had a crime that could have been lightly punished but was instead severely punished because of vested interests? Have you ever kept a mistress behind your wife's back? I want to know all of that. Now you can speak.” Ishihara Akira conjured a chair and placed it aside, then sat down, crossed his legs, and looked at the judge in mid-air, who looked distressed, and spoke slowly.

"Who...who are you?! Why do you know all this?!"

"Then you don't need to know."

……

In the end, despite their initial fierce resistance and unwavering stance, the judges eventually succumbed to the various tortures inflicted by Ishihara Akira and revealed their dark pasts.

Bribery and accepting bribes are relatively rare, since judges in Japan have limited influence in certain matters. However, it is common for people to gain extra benefits through other means that are not illegal under their rules, which basically covers every judge and even ordinary court staff.
