Tokyo Soft Rice King.

"There are no side effects, but there are still drawbacks. Every time you use up the hidden energy, you have to come here to 'replace the energy battery'. The method is still the same."

"Uh……"

In terms of the number of people, after dealing with four people, Kuroba Akira would have to do it with Kuro Sei once to maintain the effect of the reversal ability and continue to maintain a state of high energy.

This is basically a continuous process of replenishing mana with God!

"Although it's a bit troublesome, this way, I won't have to worry about you dying because of that kind of thing, Shirako."

No wonder Kuroo said time was precious and seemed so anxious. It's because the time she can borrow a body is limited. If Kuroba Akira's energy is depleted too quickly, she will have to replace the energy battery more frequently, and eventually, there might not be enough time left for him.

"However, as you fight more and more battles, your body will gradually adapt to the 'expanded state', meow. At that time, I can give you an even bigger energy battery... One day, sleeping with ten women in one night will no longer be a myth, meow."

It even has growth-promoting effects!

Not only will it solve the biggest problem at present, but it will also allow you to enjoy more happiness. Moreover, it has now truly become a form of 'physical exercise,' and you no longer have to worry about dying from the storm immediately.

The effect was impeccable; from Kuroba Akira's perspective, he had absolutely no reason to refuse...

Yes, that's true from his perspective... but it's not the case from Tomita Haruka's perspective.

　Kuroba Akira lowered his head, one of his hands still holding Xia Maomao.

Haruka Tomita opened her eyes, looking weakly and helplessly at everything happening before her, yet powerless to stop it.

After all, she's just a cat now.

Kuroba Akira was very grateful to Kuroo for arranging things so thoughtfully for him and for being willing to 'personally take action' to care for insignificant humans...

However, it's still best not to involve unrelated people!

Even if it were a tool to forcibly take Tomita Haruka's body and then sacrifice her chastity for his own benefit, Kuroba Akira couldn't bring himself to do it.

Kuroba Akira felt that the idea of ​​forcing someone to marry her was complete nonsense. The idea of ​​taking her body first and then winning her heart was just an excuse to cover up his despicable behavior.

There are no such things as accidents. As long as you are prepared, you can endure anything.

Could it possibly explode?

So when Kuroba Akira raised his head again, he still reached out and pushed away Kuroba Sei who was approaching him.

"No...! This is Haruka's body! Even if you're a god, Kuroo, you can't use her body to do this kind of thing!"

"I knew you'd say something like that, which is why I offered you the right to use my body as payment."

"Ok?"

"Hmph, do you think bringing back 'one' from among countless dead souls is an easy task, meow? The treacherous Glasses borrowed my power, so of course I have to collect a reward, meow. Originally, I could have made him repay many times over the faith he stole from me, but I made him use a 'shrine maiden' as payment instead, meow."

In other words, Kuroo could have made Tomita Hōgen repay the faith he owed her after reviving Kobayashi, plus interest, but she gave up faith and chose other rewards.

"I only chose to give up a mere human body as payment for you, Bai Zi, meow."

"It wasn't for me, was it?"

Kuroba Akira showed no emotion or guilt, but instead directly exposed Kuroo's beautiful words.

"If it really was for me, you prepared far too early. Before you even chose me as your agent, you had already given the amulet to Qingxia, right?"

At the crucial moment, Akira Kuroba remembered that he seemed to have seen that black and white amulet somewhere before, and then he realized that it was the amulet he had picked up and hung on the bridge before.

It seems that the original owner was Tomita Haruka.

"Kuroo, you've actually wanted to use this method to temporarily obtain a human body for a long time, haven't you? It was only after you learned that I had a deeper connection with those talented people and that it could bring you more faith that you decided to help me."

Why would Kuroo abandon his former beliefs to help Kuroba Akira?

Is it really just out of curiosity about that kind of thing, or perhaps a desire to restore one's original faith?

Obviously not, she wanted to gain more faith.

It's clear from what Kuroo said before that Kuroo and Inari, the fox god, have a very bad relationship. This is because the fox god is a major believer in this era, and Kuroo is always being mocked by him.

So Kuroo definitely wanted to kick her while she was down, and she saw the potential to gather more faith in Kuroba Akira, which is why she chose to 'invest in advance'.

After Kuroba Akira exposed her true purpose, she pouted and said.

"Hmph, so what if that's the case? Anyway, I've already made a deal with that sly glasses, meow. He knows what I'm using his daughter's body for. He said 'it's okay even if I get pregnant,' and the guardian has already given permission, meow!"

"What about her own wishes?"

"It doesn't matter, meow! Don't you humans also keep exchanging partners, meow? It's actually quite rare for someone to have only one partner, meow. It's not unusual for most people to have seven or eight partners in their lifetime, so what difference does it make if there's one more, meow!"

"That's not how it works at all! If she had no prior experience or desire, but lost her precious first time because of you and me, that would be a huge emotional trauma!"

"She's willing, meow. I think Xia Xia has some feelings for you too. I can feel her body getting warm when she's near you, so she should be willing, meow."

"Uh?"

Kuroba Akira paused for a moment, then looked down at Xia Maomao in his arms... She was already covering her face with her paws.

This shy reaction... Huh? Really? Why?

Kuroba Akira racked his brains but couldn't find any event that would increase Tomita Haruka's favorability.

Does going for a morning run together occasionally count? I found her amulet... but we haven't even met in person yet.

I have absolutely no idea...! Where do a girl's romantic feelings even begin?! From the void?!

"If you really can't accept it, you can actually use a cat's body to barely perform the Reverse Meow, but having you hold a cat is a bit... Shirako, you probably can't accept that, meow?"

"Uh……"

Indeed, it's acceptable if it's a catgirl like Chocola or Vanilla, but even the most extreme pervert wouldn't do such a grotesque thing with a real cat.

"See, you don't want to be a cat... So come on, Bai Zi, or should I call you 'Wise Ruler' too, or... darling?"

The word "darling" sounded completely foreign to Akira Kuroba, despite Kuroba's familiarity with it.

Previously, his impression of Kuro-o was that he was a bit irritable, gluttonous, lazy and casual, with an unfathomable elegance and arrogance.

Akira Kuroba thought he understood Kuroo, but in reality, he only understood 'Kurooo when he was a cat'.

Because cats don't have as many facial micro-expressions as humans, he had never really seen Blacktail's other facets.

Just like the imposing manner that Kuroo exudes when intimidating girls, it is a Kuroo that he does not understand.

And the aura she exudes at this moment is... a fatal temptation that no human can resist.

Kuroba Akira was unable to move, and even became unable to think.

His soul yearned to break free of his body and go to her side...

Returning to the body of the Earth Mother, who governs the birth and death of life...

"Well……!"

A painful whimper jolted Kuroba Akira awake.

When I came to my senses, I saw a girl biting her lower lip, desperately enduring the pain, her eyes already filled with tears, but she didn't let the tears fall.

"I...I can't accept this!!!"

Before Kuroba Akira could recover, the cat lying on the bed suddenly sat up and looked at the two people on the bed with an incredulous expression.

"Meow meow meow?!" (Why?!)

Black Tail, bounced back onto the cat, quickly climbed to the side of Black Feather Akira's head, stuffed its two paws into Black Feather Akira's ears, and called out in a telepathic voice.

"Bai Zi! Wake up, meow! I don't know why I was bounced out, meow! But the reversal ability has already been activated, don't let it leave you, meow! Otherwise it will go out of control, meow!"

"Uh……"

Kuroba Akira felt his head buzzing, and then... uh, he ejaculated instantly.

Something's not right! I'm a man with plenty of experience, so why is Xiaoming vomiting so much so quickly?

And what exactly happened? Kuroba Akira didn't even remember when he lay down.

It feels like I've been deleted by King Crimson during this period... What did Kuroo do?

"Even if this is a necessary action taken for Lord Cat God... I cannot accept this!"

"Don't!"

Kuroba Akira quickly pulled Tomita Haruka, who was trying to get up in one go, and hugged her.

"Kuroba-kun?!"

"Let's leave it like this for now... You can't hear Black Tail's voice, right? She said you shouldn't leave me yet, or something will go wrong."

"……Um……"

After a while, as the physical link between Kuroba Akira and Tomita Haruka dissipated, the reversal ability that Kuroo had applied to Tomita Haruka also became ineffective.

"I can't believe it," Kuroo said with a sigh of relief.

"Phew... By the way, why did I get bounced out, meow? I didn't feel much pain... Ah, was it my cat soul that felt the pain, meow? What a huge mistake, meow..."

Stop replaying it in my head.

However, it seems that due to an accident, Haruka Tomita has regained her body... although it's too late.

This was the first time that Kuroba Akira felt no sense of accomplishment, only a great sense of... regret.

It might be even more regrettable than taking 1 HP from a cute little creature while it was asleep.

After all, this can already be considered an 'accident'.

So even though apologizing is useless, Kuroba Akira still verbally expressed his apology first.

"Um, I'm sorry... I not only dragged you into this ridiculous mess, but I also caused you to lose..."

Haruka Tomita shook her head and forced a smile.

"It's alright, Kuroba-kun. Let's just consider this as not counting it. It wasn't my 'voluntary' act; I only benefited from Nekogami-sama's favor, so I can't accept it."

"Hey?"

Is this what she meant by "unacceptable"?

"And, Kuroba-kun, what you've been through and the situation around you is also something I can't accept."

What happened to me?

“Until just now, I was inside the body of the Cat God and looking at the Cat God's memories, so I now know everything that happened to you, Kuroba-kun.”

"Oh...uh...that means..."
