"Isn't this a pancake shop? Why does it smell so strongly of oil..."

She blinked and began to observe the situation in the store. Her cherry-colored demon pupils became round like a cat in the dark.

Gradually, as her eyes got used to the darkness, the vague outlines of the store began to take shape and were reflected in her eyes.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

I called the clerk for the third time, but still no response.

"Maybe the store hasn't opened yet..."

Yu Yi thought about this, turned around slowly, and was about to leave the store...

"Meow?!"

The dark figure frightened her so much that she jumped up on the spot, with her succubus tail stretched straight.

There's something standing over there on the counter!

"Wow..." Yu Yi was about to lose her balance. She supported her body with her feet turned inward, her knees shaking constantly.

But, strangely enough...

The other party didn't speak or make any movements, just like a sculpture.

"Hey?"

Gradually, Yu Yi's restless heartbeat calmed down, and she successfully saw the other person's appearance clearly.

An old orc.

It stood in front of the counter motionless, like a weathered mummy.

The old man was hunched over, leaning on a cane, and his body was covered with overly long hair, making it difficult to see his expression.

"it..."

Yu Yi widened her eyes as wide as she could, leaned forward slightly to observe the other person, and said in a trembling voice:

"It...died of old age?"

"Die, you little brat."

"Meow?!"

The old orc suddenly spoke, which frightened Yu Yi again.

"Bang!" She stepped back in a panic and accidentally bumped her backpack into the merchandise cabinet, almost causing her to fall down.

"Huh, who's yelling here so early in the morning? I was wondering who it was, but it turns out to be that noisy kid next door. No wonder he's so rude."

The crutch hit the floor with a heavy sound.

The old orc opened one eye, glanced at Yu Yi in front of him, then quickly closed it again and snorted coldly.

“S-Sorry…”

Yu Yi hurriedly straightened the merchandise cabinet that was almost falling over and apologized quickly.

She recognized the old orc in front of her as her neighbor who lived next door, an old lady who was famous for her bad temper in the community.

Yuyi had met her several times, and every time she tried to establish a good relationship with her, she was driven away harshly.

"I, I'm here to buy something..."

Yu Yi knew that the other party didn't like her, and an apology appeared in her cherry eyes as she stammered to explain.

"Buying something?" The old orc raised his eyebrows and asked in a hoarse voice:

"What do you want to buy?"

"That... colored paper."

"Oh, would you like some cat's paw pancakes?"

"Ah, no, no thanks, I just want to buy colored paper..."

"Would you like some cat's paw pancakes?"

"No, I've already had breakfast."

"Have some cat's paw pancakes."

"that...."

Faced with the pressure from the old orc, Yu Yi looked embarrassed, with a crystal bead of sweat hanging on her cheek.

Is this...is this the legendary forced buying and selling?

The old lady had a very strong aura, with her hands on her cane, as if she could use Bankai at any time. If you dared to shake your head and reject her proposal, there would be no way to leave the store safely.

"I..."

Yu Yi pursed her lips, thinking about her rude behavior just now, and how she often disturbed Ye Si's rest when she taught him a lesson at home.

Plus, I had a fight with the other party's granddaughter yesterday. In order to maintain good relations with the neighbors, it should be okay to buy a cat's paw pancake.

"Please, please give me one."

Yu Yi raised a finger and said uncertainly.

"Wait a minute."

The old orc didn't say much. He walked deeper into the convenience store with his crutches and entered the kitchen.

“Sizzle, sizzle—”

At first, it was the normal sound of pancakes, the crisp and pleasant sound reached my ears, and a warm aroma wafted out.

Until later...

“Aa ...

A hoarse scream came from the kitchen, as if it was a prisoner being tortured, which scared Yu Yi so much that her legs went weak.

"Is this really making pancakes?"

Yuyi wanted to escape, but she was afraid that the moment she turned around, she would be caught and become an ingredient for the next pancake.

...

"Take it."

Not long after, the old orc returned to the front desk and handed the pancake with cat paw prints all over it to Yu Yi.

"Ah, thank you, thank you..."

Yu Yi thought she would get some indescribable object, but it turned out to be an ordinary pancake. There was nothing special about it except that it was covered with a thick layer of lard.

"Was the voice I just heard an auditory hallucination?"

Yu Yi looked at the cat claw pancake in her hand, feeling extremely complicated.

"What's wrong?" The old orc raised his eyebrows again and asked in a hoarse voice.

"No, nothing..."

Yu Yi didn't dare to object and quickly shook her head to deny it. After paying at the speed of light, she stammered and asked:

"Um...I want to buy some colored paper."

"what?"

“Colored paper!”

"Can't you find it yourself?"

"Yes!"

Yu Yi hid behind the merchandise cabinet, trembling as if she was running away.

She never thought that as a customer, she would be treated like this by the clerk.

“Colored paper…colored paper…”

The lights in the store were off and it was extremely dim. One could only rely on the sporadic light from outside to observe the items on the shelves.

"No.."

Yu Yi walked all the way to the back of the convenience store but still couldn't find what she wanted, so she complained quietly.

"It seems that the cat claw pancakes were bought in vain."

She sighed slowly, helplessly stood up from her squatting position, and was about to give up...

"I'm so pissed off. That old thing is going to give her a claw sooner or later!"

"Woo!"

Hearing a familiar voice, Yu Yi hurriedly squatted down again.

"This is animal abuse! Look at my paws, they're practically roasted!"

A deep and magnetic voice, with a hoarse tone, came again from behind the door deep in the convenience store.

"This voice is..." Yu Yi held her breath.

She remembered this voice very clearly. She had heard it yesterday.

It was the mysterious man who stood behind the door and spoke hostile words to her when she visited Yoshito's work.

My future sister said that was her father, and he seemed to be in a mental state.

"It's better to leave quickly."

Yuyi kept bending over and sneaking, tightly holding the packaged cat claw pancake in her hand, and left secretly.

"It's because you eat too much. You're like a pig."

"What did you say, little brat?!"

"You eat the most, so of course you have to work harder. This isn't the human world, no one will spoil you!"

Another voice came from behind the door, making Yu Yi freeze in place.

The young girl's voice was a little bit arrogant and naughty, like a little brat who didn't know his place.

"File monster..."

Yuyi stuck her little head out and observed the situation behind the door through the gap between the merchandise shelves.

The petite figure with fluffy indigo hair and thick round-framed glasses was moving things.

Without a doubt, it was Ziyin.

Yu Yi stood on tiptoe, trying to see the other figure in the room clearly, but the other person was standing in a blind spot and could not be seen no matter what.

"That's weird, they just said 'human world'..."

Yu Yi bit her lower lip lightly, feeling as if her heart was entangled by thorns, and even her breathing became heavy and uneasy.

"I'm so pissed! I can get whatever I want in the human world, but now I'm in the demon world, being used like a pancake mold by that old bastard!"

"Do you think I don't want to go back to the human world? Stop complaining all the time. It's already great that the old lady is willing to take us in. Hurry up and get to work."

"Ah! You little brat, you kicked me!"

"If you don't work, I'll not only kick you, I'll even crush you."

"Take your stinky feet away! I don't like humans. I don't have that kind of fetish!"

"Where does it stink, you fat pig!"

"Ugh, my, my old waist! I should have been enjoying my retirement in the human world, but it's all that guy's fault..."

...

There was a noisy sound behind the door.

“Huh, huh…”

In complete contrast to the noisy environment, Yu Yi squatted under the shelf, covering her mouth tightly with both hands, not daring to make any sound even when breathing, her pupils trembling like an earthquake.

"Shion...is a human..."

hum-

Severe tinnitus accompanied by dizziness came.
