This demon is highly suspicious.

I hope I'll know all the answers to the next exam.

'I hope Miko and Yuzuru are both happy, and so is Kotoko.'

This is Yurikawa Hana's wish.

Yes, it's quite simple and unpretentious.

And the last person.........

'I hope the person behind this shrine dies soon and is reincarnated.'

Kotoko Iwanaga, a yokai princess, made this wish in front of the shrine's main hall.

I can only say that you are truly remarkable.

When it comes to witty banter, Kotoko Iwanaga is the best.

It seems like this guy can blend into Rorschach's group without any awkwardness.

"That's great."

Watching the group's retreating figures, Tojo Nozomi suddenly felt a pang of emotion for some reason.

Maybe it's menopause?

Rorschach thought to himself, his hands tucked into his wide sleeves.

Thankfully, Tojo Nozomi can't read minds, otherwise Rorschach would probably be beaten to a pulp by now.

No, Rorschach Tojo Nozomi might not be able to do it in this state.

'Ding-a-ling~~'

A faint sound of wind chimes could be heard in the air.

A gentle breeze blew, causing the trees lining the approach to sway.

For some reason, the sound of leaves and branches rubbing against each other made me feel uneasy, like the calm before a storm.

When Nozomi Tojo came to her senses, the 'fox' that she rarely saw was already standing on both sides.

The gesture seemed to be preventing the group from leaving.

'To be honest, I don't even know their names.'

It was only then that Nozomi Tojo belatedly realized something was wrong.

I feel like I've forgotten, or rather, ignored, a lot of things.

"Huh? When did someone get here?"

Turning around, Yurikawa looked at the two foxes at the door with some confusion.

Nishimiya Yuzuru, who was standing next to him, also cast a puzzled look at him.

'Can Xiaohua see it too?'

Yotsuya Miko was startled. She was certain that the two foxes in front of her were not human, but rather ghosts or monsters.

But Xiaohua was clearly blind before, as was Yuzuru.

Miko Yotsuya's heart was suddenly filled with panic.

This feels very wrong; something terrible is about to happen!

Suddenly turning her head, Yotsuya Miko's gaze went beyond the worship hall and into the distance.

There, billowing black smoke rose.

Something was moving within the black smoke.

Suddenly, a pale arm emerged from the black mist.

Then came another one, followed by its head, body, and tail.

When the monster appeared in front of them, Yurikawa Hana and Nishimiya Yuzuru suddenly felt uneasy.

It was as if I had seen something disgusting.

It wasn't just disgusting, but also a sense of inexplicable unease.

It's like a pile of scraps of meat pieced together to form a human shape.

Although it looks like a human, it doesn't look human at all.

"Is this the deity enshrined at the shrine?"

Staring blankly at the monster before her, Yurikawa Hana said in a daze.

I feel like my illusions about gods have been shattered.

"It's true."

Kotoko Iwanaga, leaning on her cane, calmly looked at the monster in front of her.

It's huge and disgusting.

That's it.

She's someone who's seen a lot of the world, after all.

What great monsters, angels, or demons?

We've seen it all.

This is nothing serious.

This self-proclaimed god-like monster sized up the group of people before it with its corpse-like pupils.

A pure human girl, brimming with vitality, is highly nourishing.

A pure human girl who can see ghosts and monsters, a great tonic.

An ordinary, innocent human girl, a side dish.

A very unusual, pure human girl, highly nourishing.

not bad.

The focus shifted to Rorschach and Tojo Nozomi, who were working part-time as shrine maidens.

Now that we've seen it, there's no need for it to exist.

Two innocent human girls, not bad.

etc? ! !

Something seems wrong?

Before the monster could figure it out, crimson flames suddenly ignited and instantly engulfed the entire shrine.

Chapter 82 I'm a demon!

You are a self-proclaimed god, a ghost.

To be precise, you are neither a monster nor a ghost right now.

More than what is lacking is more than what is lacking.

Although it has many shortcomings compared to those great demons who have lived for an unknown amount of time, it is already quite good compared to normal demons.

You built a shrine for yourself, hoping to transform yourself from a ghost into a god through this method.

Although it's uncertain whether it will succeed, it seems to be going well so far.

But that's life.

Unexpected things always happen.

Moreover, sometimes it can be incredibly surreal, with situations that are too daring to be depicted in movies and TV shows happening in real life.

Just like now.

A monster princess and a demon blocked his way, while a girl protected by an angel stood nearby.

Not far away, two angels and two demons were angrily rushing towards them.

They look like they're about to take on a boss.

But the problem is, I'm not even a boss in front of you guys.

The monster fell into deep thought.

Have I done something that would incur divine and public wrath?

It doesn't seem like there is.

So what if they set up a shrine and ate some people?

Do you immortal beings still care about these things?

The monster said it couldn't understand.

Human concepts do not apply to demons and gods.

Humans believe that fulfilling a wish only requires offering some fruit and pastries as tribute.

But to the gods, or at least to this monster, these things were more of an insult.

It wants something else, like your life.

"It really is you."

Ignore the monster who's fallen into a state of existential crisis for now.

At this moment, Kotoko Iwanaga looked at Rorschach, who was holding a trident, with a completely bewildered expression.

At first, she suspected that this seemingly gentle and kind young lady was actually that despicable guy, Luo Xia.

But the doubts were quickly dispelled.

Well, how could such a gentle, cute, beautiful, and kind young lady be that idiotic devil?

Impossible.

But reality soon slapped her in the face.
