Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

“If you don’t help me find it, you’re just an easy target for me now,” Fujita Mino said, brandishing her lightsaber.

This lightsaber is the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi.

The Kusanagi Sword is a divine weapon; even before its sacred aura was fully revealed, it had already frightened Kitamura Eri so much that she could barely stand.

At this moment, Kitamura Eri truly felt the terror of the divine messengers. If they made a move, she, a mere brat, would be instantly reduced to ashes!

Caught between a terrifying demon king and a dreadful divine messenger, Kitamura Eri trembled with fear!

She doesn't want to offend anyone! But if she tries to be clever at a time like this, she might just be wiped out.

After thinking it over carefully, Kitamura Eri directly asked Fujita Mino, "But, Messenger sister, I'm just a kid. If you want me to find the Demon King Hanako, I can't guarantee I'll find her for you, okay?"

This is to prepare an escape route for herself, so that she won't be killed by the other party at the slightest disagreement.

But Fujita Mino was clearly not buying it, and brandished the Ama-no-Murakumo sword in her hand again, "You don't have to come looking for me, I'll just turn you to ashes right now?"

"Huh? Wait a minute! How can you be so unreasonable? Who's the real demon and who's the villain?!" Kitamura Eri couldn't help but complain.

She thought for a moment and said, "I can help you! But I have one condition, and you need to promise me!"

Fujita Mino slightly toned down the imposing aura of the Ama-no-Murakumo sword, and her voice softened: "Tell me about it."

Eri Kitamura said, "You're worried that if I get close to the Demon King Hanako, she'll eat me. You have to protect me. Is that too much to ask?"

Fujita Mino raised her head, gazing at the bright moonlight, her expression somewhat solemn.

To be honest, if she were to fight the Demon King at night, she herself wasn't sure if she could protect herself, so expecting Kitamura Eri to fight back was obviously unrealistic.

However, Fujita Mino still reassured Kitamura Eri, "I assure you, unless I die, you will not die at the hands of Oni King Hanako."

These words deeply shocked Kitamura Eri, who was still hesitating. She had never imagined that such warm words could come from the mouth of a divine messenger...

Her "family," her former friends, often told her that the messengers of the gods were cunning creatures who treated ghosts and spirits as playthings and worthless things, killing them at will, and were even more difficult to get along with than humans.

“Come with me.” Kitamura Eri turned and walked away, with Fujita Mino following.

Kitamura Eri ran lightly, covering more than ten meters in just two or three seconds, with Fujita Mino following behind, keeping a distance of several meters.

Behind me, came Ms. Sato's voice from the ramen stall: "You haven't paid yet..."

However, neither Fujita Mino nor Kitamura Eri heard these words; the sound quickly disappeared into the noise.

Seeing the two dine and dash, Ms. Sato, the owner of the ramen shop, rushed out in a panic, but they had already disappeared.

Right at that moment!

Ms. Sato, the somewhat overweight ramen shop owner, heard a compassionate and divine voice: "I will pay for their ramen."

At that moment, the young, overweight woman, Ms. Sato, turned her head and saw a young man dressed in a priest's white robe.

Ms. Sato blinked hard, trying to see the young man's face clearly, but perhaps because the streetlights were too bright, she couldn't see his face very clearly. She could only see the lower half of his face and his delicate chin.

Just seeing his chin was enough; in Ms. Sato's eyes, he was a handsome man, her dream lover.

In Japan, in this city, there is only one person who is so handsome and has such a sacred aura: Makoto Araki.

Ms. Sato quickly cleared the tableware and said, "Oh no, you don't have to pay. I'm a college student starting a business, and we're actually in the trial operation period right now. Come on, customers, come and try my food."

Araki Makoto shook his head and said, "That won't do. You're open for business, and it's not easy for anyone. Jun, give her the money."

Yes, Chun.

She stood right next to Makoto Araki, but as a mortal, Ms. Sato couldn't see the shikigami.

Ah Chun was taken aback at first; she had never imagined that the High God would have to pay for his meals…

She turned her head and peered through the purse around Ms. Sato's waist, observing the design of the 10,000 yen note.

Then, with a wave of her hand, she remotely plucked two tender leaves from the roadside tree next door and transformed them into the design of a 10,000 yen banknote.

Chun placed two 10,000 yen bills on the table. As she slapped her hand on the table, Ms. Sato saw the two brand-new 10,000 yen bills.

Seeing this, Araki Makoto quickly added, "No need to look anymore."

Ms. Sato quickly picked up the two 10,000 yen bills and carefully stuffed them into her handbag. "Oh, sir... oh, you're too kind, sir. I'll use the extra money to add extra to your ramen!"

After collecting the money, she went back to the back of the ramen stall and turned on the stove.

At this moment, Makoto Araki turned around and asked Jun, "Jun, where did you get your money?"

Ah Chun stared intently and said, "It appeared out of thin air."

Araki Makoto immediately became interested: "It can even be conjured out of thin air?"

Ah Chun: "Yes, you can transform it using just leaves. You can make as many as you want, and it's hard to tell the difference between real and fake."

Araki Makoto's eyes lit up: "Great! Doesn't this mean you can achieve financial freedom so easily?"

Ah Chun then said, "But God, if there is more money, it will lead to a decrease in purchasing power, which is what is called inflation."

It is worth noting that all of A-Chun's knowledge was inherited from Jun Morita during his lifetime.

Araki Makoto felt no pressure about the "creating yen out of thin air" thing. Instead, he said calmly, "That has nothing to do with me. The yen is already depreciated. These 20,000 yen are just a drop in the bucket."

“Yes.” Chun confirmed Araki Makoto’s guess, and then said, “But God, I need to tell you something. Unless I continue to maintain it, the leaves that turn into yen will return to their original form after one day.”

Araki Makoto frowned at Chun's statement and said with some dissatisfaction, "No, you were just talking to me about inflation, but now you're saying it will go back to normal in a day."

Ah Chun lowered his head slightly: "Sorry. Ah Chun's logical ability is limited, I forgot about that."

Araki Makoto sighed, shrugged, and said, "Never mind, it's not important. Anyway, the stall owner said he treated me..."

At this moment, Ah Chun floated towards the middle of the road, looked in the direction where Fujita Mino had disappeared, and asked, "Speaking of which, Lord God, should we continue to pay attention to Fujita Mino's matter?"

Chapter 154 Spending a Wonderful Night Together

Araki Makoto turned his head and glanced at her, saying meaningfully, "Let's ignore them for now. Fujita Mino wants to find Shinozaki Sachiko, and her initial intention is probably reconciliation rather than fighting. Don't worry about it."

Ah Chun: "Okay."

Ms. Sato brought a bowl of ramen brimming with toppings to the table, smiling as she said, "Sir, your Ramen PRO is here!"

Upon closer inspection, the ramen was piled high with fish cakes and slices of meat. Makoto Araki picked up his chopsticks, flipped the ramen over, and found that he could hardly find any noodles. He was searching for noodles among the meat!

So, this isn't Tonkotsu Ramen PRO, it's Tonkotsu Ramen Ultron!

However, Makoto Araki is not a pretentious person. Since the other party is being so polite, why should he be polite in return? It seems that being able to make a living based on one's looks is also a kind of invisible trouble.

As Makoto Araki picked up the first piece of fish cake from his bowl, a leaf quietly fell three kilometers away from him.

"It's right ahead!"

Kitamura Eri took a quick step and scooped up the fallen leaves again. As the leaves fell again, Fujita Mino's foot was already there, and the ever-present wind swirled up another new leaf.

As all the drifting leaves fell, the fireworks transformed into shooting stars flying backwards, slowly rising into the sky and exploding.

"It's fireworks..."

At this moment, Fujita Mino had no heart to appreciate the scenery, because she could already see the two people on the riverbank not far ahead.

As Fujita Mino ran, she remarked, "Wait, your dog nose is pretty sharp, isn't it?"

"Don't call me a dog!" Kitamura Eri couldn't help but correct her.

Kitamura Eri reacted much slower than Fujita Mino, stopping only when she was almost a hundred meters away from the two people.

Fortunately, the two people watching the fireworks by the river did not notice either Kitamura Eri or Fujita Mino.

Kitamura Eri stopped in her tracks and immediately turned to watch the fireworks. She had been attracted by the fireworks, but she couldn't do two things at once, so she had to stop and watch them later.

No problem. Although Kitamura Eri was already attracted by the fireworks, the two people on the riverbank ahead were vaguely revealing powerful demonic energy. They were probably the Demon King Hanako Sachiko.

Fujita Mino quietly walked up and, as unnoticed as possible, approached Hanako Sachiko from behind.

In fact, Hanako had already noticed the uninvited guests, but since she was watching fireworks with Sachiko and the enemy probably wasn't hostile, she decided to ignore it for the time being.

Fujita Mino was indeed not hostile; she was standing right behind the two of them, watching the fireworks with them.

Hmm, quite romantic... Fujita Mino looked at Hanako and Sachiko's backs with a strange expression.

Several minutes passed, and the number of fireworks gradually decreased before Hanako finally spoke slowly: "You've been standing behind us for several minutes now. Is there something you need?"

Since the other party had taken the initiative to speak, Fujita Mino went straight to the point and said, "I originally wanted to find Sachiko, but I thought that since you and Sachiko are now a unit, I'm looking for both of you now."

At that moment, Sachiko turned around and weakly called out, "Mino..."

Compared to Sachiko, Hanako's attitude was more forceful. She pointed out, "Tell me, why did you ruin my and Sachiko's precious evening?"

Fujita Mino shook her head and said, "I have no intention of disturbing you. I'm here to ask only one question."

Hanako Sachiko remained silent.

They are waiting.

Waiting for Fujita Mino's next sentence.

Then, I heard: "What I want to know is, what are your plans for the future?"

Hanako and Sachiko remained silent.

They never expected that this Fujita Mino would ask such an unromantic question!

Do we need to ask you what we want to do or where we want to go? Hanako is in a bad mood right now!

It had to be Sachiko Shinozaki who whispered to Mino Fujita, "We plan to give up our former identities and try to integrate into humanity, to live like humans."

Her voice was so soft, like it was sweet; she was such a wonderful little clip.

Even Fujita Mino couldn't help but complain, "Sachiko, you didn't talk to me like this before..."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "So, you two won't become ghost kings and wreak havoc on the human world anymore, right?"

Sachiko Shinozaki shook her head and said, "No, we've already found the meaning of life together."

After they finished speaking, they silently turned around and continued to look at the city night view across the river.

Seeing this, Fujita Mino silently turned around and prepared to leave.

Fujita Mino expressed her understanding, respect, and even approval of Sachiko Shinozaki and Hanako's choices.

If all ghosts and spirits had the same awareness as them, the world would be much more peaceful, and there would never again be the terrifying spectacle of a ghost king descending upon a city...

Fujita Mino started walking back, muttering to herself, "It's good..."

As she moved away from the shore, she suddenly saw the little girl in the white dress hiding in the weeds.
