"It's incredible. I don't feel like I've traveled to another world at all. The land I walk on, the air I breathe, the water I drink, the food I eat—there's no difference. Yet, there are supernatural phenomena. It's truly incomprehensible. Why me?"

"Maybe it's because you're so popular? In this reality, there are a lot of people who have created fan fiction about you. Although it might disgust you, most of them are probably 18X. You are the dream lover, wife, and enlightenment object of hundreds of thousands of men. Maybe millions? I'm not sure."

After hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino held her forehead weakly and stopped Chaoyang from speaking.

"Don't tell me that kind of irrelevant information... I hope you'll be careful with your words when you talk to me. Are you deliberately telling dirty jokes to embarrass me? Please don't think I owe you a favor and have to endure your sexual harassment. This is the first time I've experienced this kind of compliment, and it's even more disgusting. But this also explains why I felt more and more disgusting gazes when I walked on the street today than in that world. ...And I think I'll use that computer of yours in the future. If my guess is wrong, I apologize in advance. If the computer contains the obscene things you just mentioned... delete or hide them as you like, just don't let me see them."

"No, no! Feel free to use it, I'm not that kind of person. ...One thing to remember is, don't go to a website called pixiv and search for your name, or you'll end up in hell."

【Fortunately, I saved them all on a mobile hard drive】

"...Suddenly I have a desire to not care about this world."

Chaoyang stood up from the swing and spoke righteously.

"Spiciness is the primary productive force. There's nothing we can do about it. This is reality!"

"Is so-called reality a place where you can openly speak nonsense? Then I'll choose to return to the virtual world. ...I've strayed a bit from the topic. The solution to the second problem is to make that female demon change her personality and become like a scumbag. Leave it to me as well."

"Is that so? You're not too tired, are you? Leave the sandwich sauce to me, one for each of us."

"If I leave it to you, I might need to choose a good feng shui location for my burial tomorrow."

"How are you going to solve it?"

Chaoyang approached Yukinoshita and asked curiously.

"Please don't get too close to me. After what you just said, I always feel like I'm being stared at by a pack of wolves. ...You'll understand when the time comes. We've already wasted too much time here. Let's go back quickly after buying things. ...On the way, tell me about the other two people..."

"OK OK."

So the two left the park and went to Don Quijote to buy daily necessities. On the way, Chaoyang said and checked to Yukinoshita Yukino

……

Late night

Chaoyang's home has returned to peace. Chaoyang will sleep in the lower closet tonight, letting Pochi, Yukinoshita Yukino, and Sandwich-chan sleep inside the house.

"..."

The two men and the snake were all lying on the bed, but no one closed their eyes. They were all looking at the dark ceiling, but their thoughts were different.

Pochi was trembling. She had never slept with anyone before, even if it was just under the same roof and not on the same bed like a close friend. Just the sound of Yukino's breathing seemed to be amplified countless times and transmitted to her ears.

The air is so heavy, it feels like I'm in a sauna. I really want to go back to the closet... o(╥﹏╥)o]

Sandwich-chan was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for Yukinoshita Yukino to fall asleep, and then taking her head.

This black-haired bitch has an extraordinary aura. I must kill her before she's pampered like that pink-haired Chinese girl, otherwise my status in this family will decline further. Go to sleep quickly, and then I'll send you to eternal sleep, hahahaha.

"Are you two paying too much attention to me, Miss Goto? Your trembling with fear is causing the rubbing noises on the blankets to be too loud. Don't be afraid, I'm a human being just like you. There's no need to be afraid. I've just gotten a preliminary understanding of your story. I'll have something to tell you tomorrow. Miss Demon, don't you know that when you do bad things, your malice is too obvious. It may be your setting, but I can clearly sense it, so please don't do stupid things. If you listen to me, you can return to the demon world you've been longing for. If you kill me, not only will Mr. Su punish you, you may never be able to return in this lifetime."

"Hahahaha... What nonsense are you talking about? This demon has no intention of doing anything~"

"...I saw you hide a kitchen knife under the bed sheet just now, and Mr. Su could have heard it."

Chaoyang coughed in the closet at the right time to remind the sandwich sauce.

"Sleepwalking! It's sleepwalking! I was already asleep and sleepwalking there. It's really dangerous~~ I'll put it back now."

Sandwich Sauce then quickly stood up, picked up the kitchen knife and put it back in the kitchen.

Yukinoshita Yukino had already grasped the situation. Seeing the movement around her gradually disappear, she closed her eyes, but her brain was still working and she continued to analyze the two of them.

Ms. Goto's primary trigger for fear is anything that triggers her low self-esteem. This is a bit tricky, requiring gradual indoctrination and becoming familiar with her. However, we need to find a way to get her out of the house to avoid a downward spiral that leads to further isolation. As for the other person, she's already a truly despicable scumbag. Theoretically, the best course of action would be imprisonment, but that's impractical. We can only use Mr. Su as a sword hanging over her head, threatening her without triggering the attack. For short-sighted and self-serving individuals, we can resort to simple, direct inducement.

31. I leave it to you to lead. Don’t let me down.

The next morning, after breakfast

The Chaoyang family meeting started, with three people and one snake sitting together.

"When will this woman leave?"

Sandwich-chan spoke directly and bluntly, pointing at Yukinoshita Yukino and asking about Chaoyang.

"It depends on Yukinoshita's own wishes. There's no difference between three and four people anyway."

"You're definitely thinking of starting a harem like the male protagonists in those harem anime! You perverted and disgusting man."

To be honest, Chaoyang really enjoyed this kind of environment. After all, there were so many beauties and he felt that his house was filled with fragrance.

Of course, such things cannot be admitted verbally.

"...Sandwich, don't worry, even if I start a harem, I won't look for a snake like you."

"What? Are you underestimating the beauty of this demon? Besides, I'm at least much better than this pink-haired country bumpkin who only wears tracksuits every day and doesn't work out. At least I cook for you and do the housework!"

Yukinoshita Yukino was calmly drinking her tea at this moment, and interrupted at the right time to complain about the sandwich sauce.

"Miss Devil, it sounds like you really want to become Mr. Su's woman. If that's the case, let me congratulate you two and wish you both a son soon. I'm curious whether reproductive isolation exists."

"Yukinoshita, just call her Sandwich-chan. We might be a makeshift family now, so there's no need to be so formal. And don't use honorifics when addressing me, just call me Chaoyang... Speaking of which, Sandwich-chan, how do you, your species, mate?"

Chaoyang Zhen looked at the sandwich, curious about where the reproductive parts were.

This made Sandwich Sauce so scared that he quickly left his seat.

"Pink-haired guy, get over here! Satisfy that man's animal desires!"

Sandwich walked behind Pochi and pushed Pochi onto Chaoyang with a hard push.

“Wow wow wow…”

The sudden push from both sides made Pochi scream and lose her balance, falling forward and sprawling awkwardly on Chaoyang, who was sitting on the ground. He reached out his hands to hold her steady. Chaoyang's movements were swift and gentle, a completely instinctive reaction. After the two separated, Pochi slowly raised her head, her eyes meeting Chaoyang's.

A faint blush stained her cheeks, and her body temperature rose rapidly.

[Speaking of which, Chaoyang said that even if he wanted to start a harem, he wouldn't choose the Evil God... Doesn't that mean I'm included in that?! What, what should I do? What if Chaoyang really has that idea? Should I refuse? After all, I haven't even met his parents, but Chaoyang has always met my requests, and I'm rejecting him... Isn't that too much? What should I do? What should I do?]

The little man in Pochi's brain frantically searched through boxes and drawers, looking for the answer, and finally couldn't bear the overload, his head started to smoke, and he passed out.

"Ms. Gotou is about to faint after just this? You still have a long way to go. ...Mr. Chaoyang, how long do you plan to watch over Miss Gotou? Let's separate quickly, otherwise there's no telling when this child will wake up."

Yukinoshita stood up and went to Chaoyang to help support Pochi.

It seems that it would be best to let her get used to interacting with people of the same sex first, and then let her practice interacting with people of the opposite sex. She should also be accustomed to group activities.

"Sandwich sauce, you owe Tutu, don't you!?"

While Yukinoshita was thinking, Chaoyang had already started threatening Sandwich fiercely.

At this time, Yukinoshita put one hand in front of Sandwich Sauce and coldly protected Sandwich Sauce.

"...Mr. Chaoyang, although it's Miss Evil God's fault, the severity of your punishments each time might be the reason she's deliberately rebelling. Miss Evil God, I will ensure Mr. Chaoyang doesn't use violence against you. Also, please refrain from these pranks. Mr. Chaoyang, please let me handle Miss Evil God's pocket money. I'll give her an appropriate amount based on her performance."

Chaoyang thought about it

"Well, no problem. I don't think she'll change that easily. After all, even Yurisuzu can't do it."

Yukinoshita Yukino took out a pen and paper and began to write on the table, as if she was talking to the morning sun or to herself.

"I don't know what method you're talking about, Yurisuzu, but giving up before even trying the least bit. Just because someone else didn't succeed, you conclude you can't do it either. And because someone else failed, you assume your own failure is inevitable. If people just stay like this, they'll never move forward, and the world won't change."

Chaoyang didn't hesitate for three seconds before telling her something he had wanted to tell her for a long time.

"Yukinoshita, I have something to tell you. In real life, people don't use long, boring sentences like this. I know this is your personal habit, but real people won't change just because you say a few seemingly cool and sensible things. Instead of trying to convince me with words, it's better to slap me in the face with results and facts."

"I'm doing."

Yukinoshita Yukino immediately put the written paper on Chaoyang's forehead.

"Huh? What is this."

Chaoyang took it and looked at what Yukinoshita had written.

A closer look reveals a clear attempt to guide Sandwich's behavior through clear rules and a reward system. The paper lists rules such as no swearing, assaulting others, or playing pranks, as well as waking up on time and cleaning. Each month, for every rule completed, Sandwich's allowance is rewarded with 10,000 yen, serving as both an incentive and a recognition of her efforts.

"...I'll have to give her 10 yen to complete all these things, but I don't have that kind of money."

"The source of money isn't a problem. I'm going to take Miss Goto out to work. Miss Goto is the only one in this family who doesn't do anything. If she continues like this, she'll become a complete loser, and it will also have a completely negative impact on her personality. So I'll work with her, both supervising her and taking care of her. You shouldn't be dissatisfied, right?"

"I don't mind. But Pochi next to me is foaming at the mouth and passed out."

As Pochi listened to Yukinoshita's plan, she conjured up images of various part-time jobs. From waitressing to dishwasher, each one filled her with panic. Like a puppet with its strings cut, she collapsed to the ground and fainted.

32.Interview

Jingu-mae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 2 p.m.

Across from Aoyama Gakuin University on Chaoyang Street, there's an underground shopping mall with many restaurants, attracting office workers from nearby offices. Chaoyang also works part-time in the kitchen of one of these set meals restaurants.

When Chaoyang heard that Yukinoshita Yukino was going to work with Pochi, he thought of introducing her to one of the places where he worked. The main reason was that he could get a commission of 10,000 yuan for introducing someone.

"You are Ms. Yukinoshita and Ms. Goto, right? Su-kun's friends, right? Please take a seat."

There was a seat in the corner of the restaurant that could accommodate four people. Yukinoshita Yukino dragged Pochi over to be interviewed by the person in charge.

"Ms. Goto Shion and Ms. Yukinoshita Yukino are both high school students, right? Nice to meet you. My name is Ojiro Jiro."

Yukinoshita Yukino pulled Pochi to signal him to stand up and bow.

"Please take care of me today." "...pay more attention..."

"Haha, no need to be so formal. Even though it's an interview, it's just basic questions."

Manager Xiao Dai looked at the two beautiful girls in front of him and seemed very happy and cheerful.

After checking the resumes in hand, I saw that both of them checked the kitchen as their desired job project.

"Hmm? You two are working in the kitchen? Can't you be waitresses outside? The work in the kitchen is very tiring and involves some heavy physical labor. Outside, the work is much easier for girls. They use automated ticket vending machines here, so your job is just collecting meal coupons after serving them."

Manager Xiao Dai patiently guided them. After all, the two people in front of him had idol-level looks, and it would be a shame if they didn't come out to work as waiters.

Pochi could only look down at his fingers and could not answer.

Yukinoshita Yukino can play both roles, but considering that Pochi has to go out to receive guests, this store basically has no chance of operating. The difficulty is no less than letting Pochi go directly from the Novice Village to the Demon King's Castle.

[The important thing right now is to let Ms. Goto feel the atmosphere of working together as a group and get used to hearing other people's voices.]

Thinking of this, Yukinoshita Yukino answered firmly.

"I'm sorry. Thank you for the manager's kindness, but we'd rather work in the kitchen. Also, Miss Goto is quite introverted and doesn't like to talk. If we schedule shifts, could you please put her and me together?"

"...Okay, in principle, we're not allowed to agree to requests like this one where you want to work together just to be close to someone. But considering that Su-jun has always been very helpful, and secondly, we're short-staffed, and several Vietnamese kids in the kitchen have recently returned home, the regional manager said he can try to accommodate part-time staff requests. So I'll consider it when scheduling shifts. ...Huh? You two live in the same address? And this address... isn't Su-jun's address!?"

Manager Xiao Dai was suddenly shocked.

"...That's right, but the three of us are just ordinary acquaintances, please don't misunderstand."

Yukinoshita Yukino said this calmly.

"Ah, nothing. Sorry, uncle, I made a fuss. I heard it's normal for young people nowadays, right? Uh, yes, it's that kind of house-sharing relationship, right?"

"..."

Yukinoshita Yukino doesn't like to lie. She knows that their relationship is not sharing a house but just lodging. She is very close to Chaoyang and there is no physical relationship between them. He is supporting them, but it is hard to believe that there is any purity in what she says.

I couldn't tell the truth and didn't want to lie, so I could only agree with what Manager Xiao Dai said, even though it was still a lie.

“这里时薪是1300元,中午时间段比较忙碌时薪加50晚上10点过后的话加150,前100个小时是属于研修期工资是1200一小时,可以接受吧。”

Yukinoshita Yukino continued to communicate with a calm expression.

"Well, thank you very much."

"I feel like I've heard Ms. Yukinoshita's name somewhere before... Ah, I don't mean to sound weird, please don't misunderstand me. Recently, young people tend to complain about sexual harassment and violent remarks from store managers. Headquarters has sent people to investigate several times. If I do anything wrong after I start working, please tell me directly. That's the end of today's interview. Afterwards, let Su Jun add you to the store's work group. If you can't come for something, please tell me in the group if you need to. Thank you and be careful on your way back."

[This store manager talks to himself too much.]

"Hey, thank you for troubling me today. Please take care of me in the future."

Miss Yukinoshita stood up and bowed deeply, her movements smooth and solemn. After bowing, Yukinoshita Yukino stood up, gently smoothed her skirt with both hands, and then pulled Pochi, who was still sitting next to her and escaping reality and not daring to speak, out of the restaurant.

"Su Jun is really playing big."

After looking at the backs of the two, the store manager sighed and said something, quickly put away his resume and the notebook used to record information, and then immediately planned to tell others the information he had just learned and gossip.
