"Alright, now that everything's done, shall we go grab a drink?"
"This is good!" Tamamo-no-Mae reappeared at some point. The fox's elusiveness made it impossible for the shrine to catch her.
"What's so good about it? You useless fox, you can't help at all. I'm going to ask other people if they know anything."
The shrine maiden raised her hand to deliver a sharp rap on the forehead, but the fox nimbly dodged it, chuckling mischievously.
"Hey, what's the rush? There are still two days left."
"Yeah, yeah, no need to rush. We'll figure something out when we get together. How about we go have a drink first?"
Iizuna Maru was also egging them on from the side; both of them were old drunkards.
Tamamo-no-Mae's eyes darted around, and she immediately thought of what to say, then smiled alluringly.
"You're really not going? We're not going to the kind of place ordinary people go."
"Hmm? Tell me more?" Jingu immediately perked up.
"Hehe, what could possibly be going on in a place where yokai drink?" Tamamo-no-Mae and Iizuna-maru exchanged a smile and said in unison:
"Of course they're all female monsters!"
The shrine was immediately enraged. How could you have such prejudice against him? He was upright and never got close to women, yet you tried to seduce him with female demons?
At the same time, the shrine also felt a deep sorrow, for the world was going to the dogs and people's hearts were no longer what they used to be.
With demons in power, it is truly heartbreaking that they have gathered so openly in human society.
"Stop talking, let's go! I'm going to see what kind of female monsters there are today!" Shen Gong slammed his fist on the table and stood up, but his imposing manner suddenly softened.
"I need to use the restroom first."
Of course, the shrine wasn't making any preparations for war; he just planned to find a place to collect the system rewards first.
Before settling the bill, Jingu took two deep breaths, wondering if Qiuligao was playing word games!
"Hey! Ai-chan, let's go back together!"
"Hmm?" Suga Ai tilted her head and looked at Kuga Hikaru with a puzzled expression.
"My route back to the shrine isn't on your way, thank you."
"Yadayo! Ai-chan! Don't sever our sisterhood so quickly!" Kuga Hikaru hugged Soga Ai tightly, refusing to let go.
"I need to go back and cook for Lord Shrine, stop fooling around."
"Is this what happens after having a man? Heartless, so incredibly heartless!"
No matter how much Jiuwo Guang throws a tantrum, she Suwo Ai will only do what she wants to do.
Go home and cook!
"You're taking forever to go to the toilet, that's strange. You're not doing anything weird in there, are you?"
The two men, who had been waiting for quite some time before Jingu returned from the restroom, were getting a little impatient.
"Huh?" Tamamo-no-Mae's expression suddenly turned strange.
"How come you look even better after just going to the bathroom?"
"Really? Hasn't he always been quite handsome?" Iizuna Maru held a conservative attitude.
“Of course there are, don’t question my judgment on this.” Tamamo-no-Mae reached out and pinched Jingu’s cheek.
"That's strange, she hasn't changed her face shape at all."
What do you know? This is called cheating! It directly increases your charm value, okay?
If before, Jingu was just a pretty boy disguised as a lesbian, then now he is a genuine pretty boy special, and the increase in his charm will make him more attractive to the opposite sex.
Even if he reveals his true nature as a pervert, others will only see Jingu as a slightly timid pretty boy, rather than quickly discovering his perverted core.
If he's a handsome young man, then even his lewdness can be forgiven, right?
"Stop touching me! Lead the way!" Jingu slapped away Tamamo-no-Mae's wandering hands and said with great determination.
Love, forgive me. Even if it's a den of demons and monsters, a dragon's lair or a tiger's den, I must venture in today.
If anyone's to blame, it's the system; it forced me to go!
[Mission - I want them all]
[You have begun to establish your own circle of connections among the gods, but this is far from enough. True big shots have influence in both the legal and illegal worlds, and they need goddesses and female demons alike—only then are they truly complete!]
[Task Requirements: Establish a friendship or higher relationship with three powerful demons]
[Reward: A charming and handsome young man]
The Shrine loves these kinds of missions; the objectives are simple and stress-free, and the rewards are practical. I suggest they offer more of these in the future.
"Walk?"
"go!"
Two old drunkards and a pervert entered the elevator arm in arm.
"Sister Wen, the boss is gone, so what about us...?"
No sooner had the three left than someone asked about A-Wen, who had been called over by Iizuna Maru to finish his manuscript.
The little girl raised her eyebrows and scolded him irritably.
"What do you mean 'we'? We're rushing to finish the draft! Our boss just got some major scoop, and we need to get it done urgently tomorrow. Everyone's working overtime tonight to finish it!"
"Amelo!"
"help me!"
"Stop babbling! Show us what you've got, this is some serious juicy gossip! Didn't you see our boss is out drinking with guests? We can't waste this precious time."
"What if they come knocking on our door the day after tomorrow?" Someone in the crowd silently raised their hand.
The room fell silent for a moment, then everyone scattered like birds and beasts.
Chapter 45. Of course, bars are for drinking. What else would you be doing?
"Wow~"
The shrine maiden looked at the building in front of her and exclaimed in genuine admiration.
Although he hadn't gone inside yet, he could already feel the beauty of this place: the colorful neon lights, the dazzling signs, and the sounds that filled the air even before he entered.
Looking left and right, both Iizuna Maru and Tamamo-no-Mae had expressions of complete indifference.
So this group of female monsters usually have such a wild time. I thought they would drink in some dark place or izakaya, but it turns out it's so exciting.
"Walk?"
"go!"
Iizuna pushed open the door, and as soon as the three of them entered, they heard waves of sound. On the stage, several girls and their instruments floated in mid-air, playing as if defying gravity.
Below the stage were all kinds of beautiful young women, some sitting quietly at the table drinking, others swaying on the dance floor, highlighting a diverse range of styles.
Aside from many with animal ears and tails, there were also those dressed in Western styles, and even shrine maidens, vampires, nuns, and so on. The shrine even had a zombie girl.
No, upon closer inspection, the shrine revealed that a large portion of them were actually human, with only the remainder possessing a faint demonic aura.
"Hiss—what's going on?" Jingu began to wonder.
"What do you mean? We yokai are also severely imbalanced in terms of yin and yang these days, so there's nothing to worry about," Tamamo-no-Mae explained casually.
"No, I mean, why are there still so many people here?"
"Hey, what do you know? This is called cosplay. Come on, let's get to a private room!"
Upon entering the private room, the noisy environment outside was instantly shut out; not a single sound could penetrate the room. In fact, the walls of the private room were transparent, allowing people to see out from inside, but not from outside.
The shrine was like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden for the first time, looking around in amazement.
"Stop looking at him, he looks like a country bumpkin." Tamamo-no-Mae couldn't stand the shrine's somewhat embarrassing appearance and said with disdain.
"Most of the staff here are poltergeists. These little monsters are best at manipulating sounds and such, so it's not that surprising."
So-called stalkers are usually monsters or ghosts that create strange noises in abandoned houses and deserted places, and they are not harmful to humans.
"Hiss~ Even the band on stage just now?"
"Yeah, they're a really hot soul band lately, they've become a sensation with their heavy metal rock and unique stage performances."
Iizuna Maru looked at the soul band that was playing all over the stage and said.
"How about it? Pretty creative, right? Cosplay is such a great idea!"
"Cosplay allows you to openly bring many little monsters into front of people and then take some things necessary for survival from these humans."
"It's certainly creative, but are these people all idiots? How could they not see it when they were this close?"
The shrine expressed doubt about these people's intelligence, and even suspected that these guys might have used some kind of mind-bending sorcery.
"Ah, smoking and drinking are one of life's great pleasures. How can one have alcohol without smoking?"
Just then, the waiter brought the sake, but despite the modern setting, they brought out sake-sized glasses.
A simple, rustic wine cup.
"Look at that."
Tamamo-no-Mae pointed to a woman at the edge of the stage, dressed in a gorgeous short kimono, with long, narrow eyeliner and glamorous makeup, holding a folding umbrella in one hand and a pipe in the other.
He would take a couple of puffs every now and then, puffing out smoke.
"That guy is a mountain woman. The smoke he exhales has a disorienting effect, but the effect is relatively weak when it spreads throughout the venue. At most, it will only make people feel excited and confused, like they've been drinking too much."
"Damn, you guys actually brought medicine?"
Before transmigrating, as a law-abiding citizen, the shrine had some indescribable feelings about this.
"Don't worry, the security here is very good, and besides, it's mostly girls, so nothing will happen."
Iizuna Maru said this while pouring sake.
"You know, this place is a dream experience online. Everyone who has been here praises it the next day as if they've drunk fine wine all night and had wonderful dreams."
"You should know that eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring are not only things that humans enjoy, but we monsters enjoy them too."
