I, Tsugumi Yuichiro, must do something

Seeing Aihara Enju's greedy look, Ji Guoyuan looked at her and asked lightly.

"I don't have any money."

Aihara Enju nodded, then began to shake her head.

Although she wanted to eat it, it was much more expensive than cheap bread, sushi and the like.

"wait for me."

Tsugumi Yoshiichi gently rubbed Aihara Enju's head, signaling her to wait there.

Having lived in Maple Leaf Village for hundreds of years, as the president of the Demon-Exorcism Society, Yuichiro Tsugakuin has his own salary.

In addition, there were many gifts from wealthy businessmen.

These things were casually hidden by Yoichi Tsugakuko in the Nichirin Sword, and there was a lot of gold among them.

Looking at the gold shop in the distance, Jiguo Yuanyi walked straight into the gold shop without hesitation.

"That guy, is he trying to rob the gold shop?"

Seeing Tsugumi Yoshiichi walking into the gold shop holding the Nichirin Sword, Aihara Enju couldn't help but worry, and she hurried towards the gold shop.

"You didn't kill anyone?"

Just as Enju Aihara was about to enter the gold shop, she saw Yoshikazu Tsugumi coming out.

She asked as she stood on tiptoe to look into the gold shop.

"Kill who?"

Ji Guoyuan held a thick stack of banknotes in his hand. He didn't exchange much, he just sold a small piece of gold.

The process went much smoother than Ji Guoyuan had expected. He took out the gold, and after the other party had appraised it, they didn't ask any other questions and just gave him the money directly.

Hearing what Aihara Enju said, Jiguo Yuanyi was stunned.

"So much money, what did you do just now?"

Aihara Enju's attention was attracted by the thick stack of banknotes in Jiguo Yuanyi's hand. It was the first time she had seen so much money.

It's probably tens of thousands of yen.

If converted into food, it would probably be enough to last for a long time.

Prices in Tokyo have risen sharply these days, and the purchasing power of the currency has dropped a lot, but it is still a lot of money.

"I sold some things."

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi walked towards the food stall, then turned around and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"Hmm...a rice ball."

Looking at all the delicious food in front of her, Enju Aihara really wanted to eat enough, but after struggling for a while, she finally held back.

In her opinion, in order to treat her to a meal, Tsugikoku Yuichi must have sold something very important, otherwise, how could he have sold it for so much money.

So in the end, Enju Aihara ordered the cheapest rice ball.

"Boss, two rice balls."

In his previous life, because Tsugakuni Yoriichi went to high school and college with Kagome and lived in the city for a long time, he had long since adapted to modern life.

Compared to when he was in the Empire, Tsugikuni Yoriichi has changed a lot now.

"Thank you."

"When I have money, I will definitely treat you to a big meal."

As she ate the sweet and delicious rice balls, Enju Aihara had a happy smile on her face.

She had already made up her mind that if she could save enough money, she would definitely invite him back.

"Ah."

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi was eating his rice ball slowly, his eyes looking into the distance where there was a huge stone tablet made of various black blocks. It was more than a thousand meters high and over a thousand meters wide.

"That's the giant stone monument, right?"

Ji Guoyuan heard Matsuzaki talk about the giant stone tablet.

It is built with a mineral called iron metal. Relying on the radiation of the magnetic field, it can keep the protogastric organisms away within a certain range around it.

"Let me take you over there to have a look."

Aihara Enju led the way and introduced some of the surrounding streets to Jigoku Yoshiichi.

As a cursed being, because some of their cells have mutated into intestinal cells, they have greater strength, speed, and recovery ability than ordinary people.

Therefore, even though she is not even ten years old, Enju Aihara is extremely lively.

She took Yuichiro Tsugakuko to one place after another and didn't seem tired at all.

"Let's take a break."

The two eventually sat down on a street bench outside an elementary school.

From time to time, Enju Aihara looked towards the children playing games on the playground in the elementary school, with an envious look on her face.

"Do you want to go to school too?"

Tsugumi Yuichiro opened a bottle of water for Aihara Enju and asked calmly.

"I don't want to go to school with those childish kids."

After hearing what Tsugumi Yoshiichi said, Aihara Nobuyuki turned her head away proudly and no longer looked at the children who were running around happily in the elementary school.

However, when she was in the water, she was a little dazed.

It is obvious that Enju Aihara has not yet been able to lie as naturally and fluently as those adults.

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi did not expose Aihara Nobuyuki. He could see that Aihara Nobuyuki actually wanted to study and live like a normal child.

'Where should we go next?'

Sitting on the bench, Ji Guoyuan began to think about his future life.

Although he had just arrived in this strange place not long ago, he had already gained some understanding of it.

Obviously, this place is not where his hometown is, but Yoshikazu Tsugakuni has not given up completely. After all, he learned a lot of things from Matsuzaki.

Many things still need to be verified again.

After thinking about it, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi really couldn't figure out where to go, so he finally decided to stay in the outer area for a while.

Wait until you have enough understanding of this unfamiliar place before making other plans.

evening.

After going to several bookstores and buying a lot of books and a lot of food.

Only then did Tsugikuni Yoshiichi return to the outer area with Aihara Enju.

It has to be said that the black pearls that Totosai placed on the scabbard made Tsugumi Yoriichi's life extremely convenient.

In fact, as long as he wanted, it would be no problem for him to sleep in the space inside the scabbard.

It's as big as a small town in there.

But the only regret is that it is completely dead inside at the moment.

"Thank you, Brother Yunyi."

"Thank you."

"Brother Yunyi, thank you."

...

In the underground space, Yuichiro Tsugikuni and Enju Aihara were distributing food to many girls.

After receiving the food, the girls bowed politely to Yuichiro Tsugikoku and expressed their gratitude.

Chapter 5: Level 3 Proto-Gastruloid, Protected Tsugumi Kyoichi

After receiving the food, some girls suddenly started crying.

This made Yuichiro Tsugikoku a little surprised.

In his view, this was just a very trivial matter.

“We rarely receive kindness from others.”

"Those people outside looked at us as if we were monsters."

After putting the food away, Nobuyuki Aihara and Yuichiro Tsugakuni sat together and ate bread. Recalling Yuichiro Tsugakuni's somewhat puzzled expression just now, Nobuyuki Aihara's childish voice was filled with helplessness.

She actually has no hostility towards those people outside. The only hostility she has is towards those who hurt them.

Many of them were abandoned to the outer areas when they were just a few years old.

And because they carry the virus, if they do not inject inhibitors and frequently use their own abilities, they are likely to eventually turn into gastrula.

'Who would want to be friends with monsters like us?'

While eating, Aihara Enju suddenly felt sad, and her nose felt a little sour.

But she stubbornly half-raised her head and held back her tears.

As a child who is not even ten years old, although Enju Aihara is much more mature than her peers, she is still just a child after all.

"But it's also nice here, and everyone is happy together."

Soon, Enju Aihara suppressed her sadness. She didn't want to show her vulnerable side in front of strangers.

Looking at Yuichiro Tsuchiya, she smiled and began to hum some songs that Yuichiro Tsuchiya had never heard before.

squeak squeak...

After eating, everyone in the underground space began to return to their sleeping places and prepare to go to sleep.

But it didn't last long before everyone quieted down.

There was a vibration sound on the ground, and all kinds of strange noises were coming down.

The moment they heard the sound, the girls who were originally asleep quickly got up.

Their eyes turned red instantly, and then they protected the area around where Yuichiro Tsuchikoku was.

Aihara Nobuyuki and Matsuzaki went to the exit to check the situation.

"They are gastrula, and there are a lot of them."

After realizing the presence of gastrula, Enju Aihara suddenly became a different person.

If she was a cute little loli before, now she has turned into a cold warrior, exuding a beast-like coldness.

"Protect brother Yoshiichi Tsugikoku."

Enju Aihara looked at the little lolis who were already surrounding Yuichiro Tsugumi and nodded with satisfaction.

Then she found an iron rod and stood guard at the exit with two other little girls.

In Aihara Enju's opinion, Tsugikuni Yoriichi's swordsmanship may indeed be superb, but it is incomparable to them, the cursed ones.

After all, it is difficult to kill gastrula without special weapons.

Moreover, once injured or infected by the gastrula, the chance of survival will be very slim.

Therefore, as soon as they discovered the gastrula, the little lolis surrounded Yuichiro Tsugakuni and Matsuzaki.

'This is..'

Looking at the young yet determined faces around me.

A faint smile appeared on Jiguo Yuanyi's face. With more than three hundred years of experience and a transparent world that had become much stronger, Jiguo Yuanyi could clearly feel the kindness expressed to him by the girls around him.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud muffled sound came from the manhole cover blocking the underground passage.

It seemed like something had hit the manhole cover hard.

Then a centipede-like monster with two heads and hundreds of legs crawled in from the wellhead.
