In the anime, people are in everyday Tokyo, but they are playing the reincarnation game

The next second, Asagiri lifted Iwanaga Kotoko up, held her high up, and then gently put her back on the ground.

"OK, the reward is complete."

Iwanaga Kotoko was both ashamed and angry, and said angrily.

"I don't want a reward like a father gives to his daughter, I want a reward like a boyfriend gives to his girlfriend!"

"Too short to kiss."

"I don't care, then pick me up and kiss me!"

Seeing Iwanaga Kotoko's cute look like a cat breathing, Asagiri couldn't help but smile. She bent down slightly and gently kissed Iwanaga Kotoko's lips.

"Well..."

After kissing for more than ten seconds, a blush appeared on Iwanaga Kotoko's fair face, and she immediately changed from the panting cat look to the cuteness of a well-behaved kitten.

"Hmph...You're such a skilled kisser, how many times have you kissed Asuna..."

"No white learning allowed."

Asagiri directly interrupted Iwanaga Kotoko's spell, not even giving her a chance to finish her classic line. She took out her cell phone, opened the email address registered with her new SIM card, pressed the send button, and whispered.

"Then, let's begin."

..............

At the same time, in room 802 of the apartment building.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Shh, don't make any noise."

A man in a suit, looking very tired, slowly took off his suit jacket, folded it and placed it on the dining table in the living room. Then he looked towards the corner and saw a woman whose limbs were tightly bound by hemp ropes and tape, with a dirty rag stuffed in her mouth. Tears were glistening in her eyes because of the pain of her dislocated jaw and the despair of knowing she was facing death.

"But soon you won't be able to make any more noise, and you'll become part of something greater..."

As Hosokawa Teru spoke, he rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt, picked up the blood-stained kitchen knife on the table, which had not been cleaned for a long time and emitted a strong fishy smell, and slowly walked towards the woman in the corner.

At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang.

"Another work email... It's already time to get off work, can't I just enjoy my rest time..."

While complaining, Hosokawa Kei took out his mobile phone and opened the mailbox, but found that the name displayed in the new email was obviously a string of random garbled characters. As for the content, it asked him if he had any plans to travel in the near future.

“Spam, so annoying…”

Just when Hosokawa Teru was about to delete the email, his phone screen suddenly flashed twice, and then a girl appeared who looked very cute but had a slightly weird smile on her face.

"Got you."


Chapter 17: 016 Iwanaga Kotoko’s sincerity

The next second, before Hosokawa Teru could react, a white and slender hand suddenly appeared on his mobile phone screen, and in that hand was a sharp dagger, which cut his throat directly with a skillful movement as if killing a chicken.

"boom..."

"cough cough..."

Hosokawa Teru's cell phone fell to the ground, and he took two steps back, covering the cut on his throat with one hand, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word. As soon as he opened his mouth, a stream of blood foam spurted out, and bright red blood continued to flow out from between his fingers.

While the woman in the corner was staring in shock, a very cute girl wearing a red sweater, a blue skirt, and red striped stockings slowly crawled out from the phone screen.

"Interesting, so interesting~"

Crazy Mita looked at Teru Hosokawa, who was covering his neck with one hand but unable to stop his life from slipping away, and fell in a pool of blood, his body like a fish struggling in a red shallow. The smile on his face became even brighter, revealing two cute fangs.

"You're not dead yet? Don't be so fragile~"

Crazy Mita took out the handheld chainsaw from his inventory, then pressed the button. The chain blade quickly rotated and began to slowly approach Hosokawa Teru's face.

...........

Half a minute later, the door of the apartment was kicked open.

"boom!"

The sudden loud noise brought the woman, who was about to faint from the sight of blood and flesh flying everywhere, back to consciousness.

She raised her head hopefully, but the person who appeared in her field of vision was not a member of the Metropolitan Police Department, but a tall mysterious man wearing a long black trench coat, a dark gray mask, black gloves, and a chain wrapped around his right forearm.

Asagiri glanced at the bloody and fleshy remains all over the floor, and then saw that Hosokawa Teru's head had been placed neatly on the table in the living room.

"solved?"

Hearing his question, Mita, whose face was stained with blood and holding a blood-stained chainsaw, looked like a psychopathic murderer, smiled happily and nodded.

"Well, it's all resolved. I checked his phone. He's just an ordinary guy."

"Okay, you go back first."

"OK~"

Crazy Mita raised his hand and made a "yeah" gesture, then his figure slowly disappeared.

Asagiri didn't even glance at the woman in the corner of the living room. He walked straight to the door of the master bedroom of the apartment, gently turned the handle, and opened the door in front of him.

“Buzz buzz buzz…”

The moment he opened the door, Asagiri heard the noisy buzzing of flies, and the scene that came into his eyes was extremely disgusting.

There was no bed in the bedroom. In the empty room, there was only a metal cross embedded in the wall. On the cross was a headless corpse with only dark red rotten sections on its neck. The limbs and torso obviously did not belong to the same person, but were forcibly sewn together with needle and thread, emitting a pungent and foul smell.

But in Asagiri's vision, he can see scenes that ordinary people cannot see.

A headless evil spirit that looked similar to the corpse, except that its surface was more rotten and there were even white maggots wriggling back and forth, was standing near the metal cross.

Hearing the door opening, the evil spirit slowly turned around. A mouth appeared at the broken neck and the seams between the limbs and torso. Although the voices were male and female, they were crying in the same distorted tone.

“It hurts, it hurts so much…”

"Human Shura."

Listening to the cries of the dead souls, Asagiri's eyes did not fluctuate at all. He directly switched his personality mask to Human Shura and summoned the other party out.

The headless evil spirit, which originally looked very scary, was overwhelmed by the obvious size difference after the appearance of Shura, a human who was over two meters tall. Even the shrill cries stopped.

"boom!!!"

Like Chaogiri, Human Shura had no intention of wasting time talking to this evil spirit. Of course, Human Shura couldn't speak anyway.

It was summoned with only one goal, and that was to completely tear apart this twisted evil spirit that was born out of resentment and the distortion of the human being, Teru Hosokawa.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The headless evil spirit that was pinned to the ground let out miserable cries from its several mouths, but Shura didn't know what mercy was, and Asagiri didn't have any so-called compassion.

The human Shura did not roar, nor did he make any sound, but remained in a heart-wrenching silence. Amid the miserable cries of the headless evil spirit, he tore the other's already rotten body into several pieces.

Then, Asagiri took two steps forward, took out a small bottle of transparent liquid that Iwanaga Kotoko had prepared long ago from her arms, and gently sprinkled it on the corpse on the cross.

The next second, a faint light suddenly burst out from the surface of the headless evil spirit's body, which was broken into several pieces. The five mouths that were originally crying miserably stopped crying at this moment, and the five different voices uttered the same words.

"Thanks......"

Asagiri didn't respond verbally, but just nodded slightly and then left the apartment.

.............

Ten minutes later, in front of a convenience store on the street.

Kotoko Iwanaga held a can of juice, took a sip, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

"Although I prefer black tea, tasting sweet freshly squeezed juice on this quiet night is really a unique experience~"

Asagiri opened the can in his hand and took a sip, then replied with a smile.

"What the hell are you talking about? I don't understand. I'm drinking iced Coke."

"You don't drink iced Coke, you only drink iced Coke, right?"

Kotoko Iwanaga first complained like this, then stretched herself, raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, revealing a somewhat sleepy expression.

"Oh, I'm really tired after sitting on the train for so long. Before I go back tomorrow, I'll go visit the mountain gods and monsters and tell them that the request has been completed. I want to go back to the hotel and rest early~"

"I see you're not interested in the bar?"

Hearing Asagiri reveal her thoughts, Iwanaga Kotoko blushed and turned her head and whispered.

"I can't help it. I ate eel rice."

"Eel rice doesn't have that kind of effect, right?"

"It doesn't matter whether it exists or not. Haven't you heard that sincerity is the key to success?"

Kotoko Iwanaga came close to Asagiri. Without her saying anything, Asagiri had already bent down. Kotoko Iwanaga jumped directly onto his back and put her cheek on the back of his neck, as docile and well-behaved as a clingy kitten.

"Walk back?"

Hearing Iwanaga Kotoko's suggestion, Asagiri said with a smile.

"It'll take at least an hour to walk back to the hotel from here, right? Do you want me to get a prosthetic limb too?"

Iwanaga Kotoko curled her lips and muttered softly with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Aren't you physically strong? Besides, I want to enjoy some more intimate time with my boyfriend on his back. It's so unromantic of me to express such a shy girl's thoughts directly."

Asagiri shook her head and said with a smile as she walked down the street carrying Iwanaga Kotoko on her back.

"Is it possible that I guessed what you were thinking, but I just wanted to hear you say it yourself, so I said it that way on purpose?"

"really?"

When Iwanaga Kotoko heard this, her mood became noticeably better and her tone became cheerful.

"If you want to hear it, I can tell you every day."

After saying this, Iwanaga Kotoko was silent for a while, then asked softly.

"This time... you've officially participated in a commission from the monsters. How do you feel about it? Did the scene in that apartment room... make you feel disgusted... or repulsed?"

If it were most daily campus romance anime, this question of Iwanaga Kotoko would have dragged on for at least four or five episodes, but Asagiri is completely different from the male protagonists of most daily anime. He already knows why Iwanaga Kotoko asked this question.

"Are you worried that after I come into contact with monsters and evil spirits, I'll find these things too disgusting or troublesome. I'll feel uncomfortable after finally clearing the dungeon and returning to the real world, and then I have to help you deal with these troublesome monster requests. I'll deliberately stay away from you in the future?"

"You figured it out..."

Iwanaga Kotoko smiled first, then spoke softly in a calm tone.

"I... Actually, I've never had any so-called friends or lovers, and I've never thought about establishing such a relationship with anyone. After all, I'm the god of wisdom among the monsters, shouldering the responsibility of protecting the order of this world. I'm an abnormal person living in another world, but... you, Asuna, and Kei, are all people I cherish very much and absolutely don't want to lose. In front of you, I can say whatever I want and don't have to deliberately conceal my identity. So if you think it's too troublesome to help me handle the monsters' requests, just tell me, and I won't..."

"That's it for now."

Asagiri shook her head, interrupted Iwanaga Kotoko's words, and spoke with a smile.

"Why are you suddenly saying something like that? That's not like you. Didn't I tell you that teammates should be tolerant and understanding of each other, helping you handle youkai commissions that you can't handle on your own, just like I'll help Asuna find her own path. Ultimately, in the dungeon, we're teammates you can trust with your life. Aren't we no longer teammates after we return to the real world?"

"As teammates, helping each other is a matter of course. We don't feel any trouble, just like you don't feel any trouble for us. This is a relationship of trust and reliance that transcends everything."

After hearing what Asagiri said, Iwanaga Kotoko's violet eyes brightened and her expression returned to its usual cheerful and lively state.

She stuck out her pink tongue and licked Asagiri's neck gently like a cat, then leaned close to Asagiri's ear and whispered in a very seductive tone.

"Well, my handsome boyfriend, when we get to the hotel room later, do you need me to do something for you that might be troublesome but fun?"


Chapter 18: 017 The God of Wisdom Gets What He Wants

An hour later, in the corridor outside the apartment building.

"Ugh... ugh..."

A relatively young-looking member of the Metropolitan Police Department, dressed in a police uniform, stood in front of a trash can in the corridor, his back bent like a shrimp, and he vomited until tears came out.

"Really..."

Another middle-aged police officer who looked older sighed, patted the young police officer's back gently, held a lit cigarette in his other hand, took a deep puff, and then spoke in a deep voice.

"But I can't blame you. Even I couldn't bear the sight of that scene. Let's just wait until headquarters sends a professional forensic doctor. We'll just be responsible for maintaining order."

The police officer who received the alarm call from the residents of the apartment building came to the door of Room 802.

The door was not locked, but ajar.

Seeing the scene in the room, even the most experienced criminal investigation officers found it a little difficult to bear.
