A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 156 What are you doing here? Is this still Earth?
"Forehead"

Slowly opening his eyes, Matsumoto Jinpei was stunned for a while before he came to his senses.

Not dead?

here it is--

He sat up and looked around.

This appears to be a woman's room. Although simple and plain, it exudes a youthful vibe: sailor uniforms are still hanging on the wall.

Sailor uniforms are also a classic feature of island nations: these women's school uniforms, evolved from marine uniforms, have long dominated schools across the island. It wasn't until the last decade or so, with more and more high schools choosing suits as their uniforms, that sailor uniforms gradually disappeared from schools.

Even today, many schools in remote areas or those with more traditional practices still choose sailor uniforms as their school uniforms.

Was I rescued?

Just as Matsumoto Jinpei lifted the covers, preparing to get out of bed:
creak

The door to the room was pushed open.

She is indeed a lively and energetic high school girl, but the key point is:
"Ah, sorry."

He quickly pulled the blanket over his lower body, and Matsumoto Jinpei blushed.

The reason, of course, is that he wasn't wearing underwear.
"Uncle, you're awake?"

The high school girl wasn't particularly pretty; in fact, she was quite ordinary, but she radiated youthful energy.

"I took your clothes to wash them, and they're drying now. Would you like me to bring them to you?"

"Ah, please."

"Okay!"

The other person put down the fruit in their hand, turned around and left.

"Uncle, please have something to eat first."

Want something to eat?

Looking at the fruit basket the high school girl had placed next to her bed, Matsumoto Jinpei's Adam's apple bobbed.

"Then I will..."

You're welcome.

Click, click, click!
It can only be described as a whirlwind; Matsumoto Jinpei grabbed a handful of fruit and stuffed it directly into his mouth, swallowing it whole, peel and pit included.

As a basket of fruit was devoured in the blink of an eye, it was like water flowing across parched land;

Every cell in the man's body emitted a comfortable groan.

Come to life!

"Uncle, your clothes."

Soon, the high school girl returned, carrying a stack of clean clothes.

"thanks, thanks."

Somewhat awkwardly, he took the clothes. As Matsumoto Jinpei hesitated, the other party understandingly raised his hand to signal towards the door.

"I'll go cook first, and then you can come out after you've changed your clothes."

"it is good,"

After the other person left again, Matsumoto Jinpei got out of bed, picked up his clean clothes, and changed.

The thick canvas clothes exuded the scent of 'sunshine'! Wait a minute—

Who took off their clothes?

Upon considering this question, Jinpei Matsumoto, a middle-aged man, was first taken aback, then found himself at a loss for words.

No wonder that high school girl was so poised and confident, while I seemed so awkward.

Pushing open the door, you are greeted by a living room that can also be described as 'simple'.

However, for Matsumoto Jinpei, the scene before him was:

That was enough to bring tears to his eyes.

free!

"Uncle, please have a seat."

From the kitchen next door, one could hear the sounds of a high school girl busily working.

"The food will be ready soon."

What the other party called "immediately" actually took half an hour. Because:
"Sorry, it will take some time to cook everything thoroughly."

The high school girl brought out a pot of fried rice.
Yes, all in one pot!
Do island nations have such hospitality customs?
His rumbling stomach made Matsumoto Jinpei forget all about being polite.

"Then I'll start eating,"

At first, he was a little reserved, but as he ate, his instinct to eat led him to pick up the pot and shovel food into his mouth.

Chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing

"Wow, absolutely delicious!"

When Matsumoto Jinpei put the pot down, it was already empty.

"It's not that exaggerated. It's probably because you were too exhausted from the shipwreck."

The high school girl waved her hand. She had tasted the rice she cooked herself, and it was at most 'ordinary'. How could it be described as delicious?
"No, it is indeed delicious to me."

Thank you, but unfortunately I have nothing to repay you with.

Before Matsumoto Jinpei could finish speaking, he saw the high school girl opposite him light up.

"Uncle, you're too modest,"

"With your abilities, you could easily make tens or hundreds of millions!"

The implication was that 'repaying' her would be a piece of cake.

? !
Such an outrageous demand left Matsumoto Jinpei stunned.

No, if I could 'easily' make tens or hundreds of millions, would I still be in this sorry state?

Or is the high school girl in front of him also a yakuza? No, no, no, even a yakuza couldn't squeeze that much money out of him, with his hundred-odd pounds of flesh.

"Oh, is that too much?"

Having misunderstood Matsumoto Jinpei's 'surprise', the high school girl suddenly felt guilty.

"Well, a few million should be enough, right?"

"I'm the one who pulled you out of the sea."

As she spoke, she glanced cautiously at Matsumoto Jinpei, and when she noticed his increasingly grim expression, the high school girl regretted her decision.

If I had known the supernatural existed, I would have killed them in a fit of rage. Satomi, Satomi, why were you in such a hurry?
"sorry!"

Stand up, step back, kneel down, and apologize.

The high school girl's movements were so fluid and fast that Matsumoto Jinpei didn't even have time to react.

"I have offended you, sir. Please forgive me."

Never mind, let's just consider it a good deed.

Save your life first.

? ?
This left Matsumoto Jinpei even more confused.

Myself,

Is it really that scary-looking?

"No, no, no, you don't need to apologize."

Regardless, the middle-aged man who had dropped the pot quickly stepped forward and helped the other person up.

"You saved me, it's only right that I repay you."

"But as you can see, I don't have anything valuable on me—" Now it was the high school girl who was helped up's turn to look puzzled.

"Uh, uncle."

The high school girl thought of a possibility.
"You don't know that you're a supernatural being, do you?"

"I'm sorry, I understand every single word you say. But putting them together..."

What does that mean?!

Matsumoto Jinpei was completely bewildered. After looking around at the decorations in the living room and confirming that there were Japanese characters everywhere, he cautiously asked:
"This is an island nation, the seventh year of Reiwa, and the Prime Minister is XXX."

The high school girl nodded.

That wouldn't be another world!
What are you referring to as 'supernatural beings'?

"It's you, uncle."

The high school girls had already figured it out; this guy probably had some mental issues.

But it doesn't matter, it's better this way: isn't a dim-witted supernatural being just an opportunity for Satomi Sato to rise to power?
Brilliant!

Hehehe~~
"Uncle, come this way."

Leading this 'not-so-bright' middle-aged man to the small restroom next door, a few seconds later:

"Ahhhhh!!!"

A horrified male voice instantly soared into the sky from the small fishing hut.

"My face? How could this happen—"

Pressing himself against the bathroom glass, Matsumoto Jinpei touched himself repeatedly until he confirmed that the face in the mirror with its raised eyebrows and protruding teeth was indeed his own. Then, distraught, he stumbled backward.

It's truly remarkable that you survived such a close call.

But his entire face had changed, which was ultimately hard for people to accept at first.

"I understand!"

The high school girl behind him suddenly realized what was happening.
"Uncle, you just acquired supernatural powers!"

"The 'Ashiya Treasure' from last night? That's incredible luck!"

The other party was extremely excited.

This made Matsumoto Jinpei even more confused.
What is this high school girl saying?

"My name is Matsumoto Jinpei, you can just call me Jinpei."

Forcing himself to calm down, the man patted his cheeks and began to understand the situation.

"What about you?"

“My name is Satomi Sato. Just call me Satomi.”

The high school girl was overjoyed and excited: it turned out to be a 'potential stock' who had just gained supernatural powers; she had hit the jackpot!

"Uncle, come here, let me explain the information related to the supernatural to you."

"Wait a mininute,"

A few minutes later, Matsumoto Jinpei began to wonder if he was dead.

Is everything before my eyes just a figment of Sanzu River's imagination?
slap slap slap,

He slapped himself a few times.

The burning sensation proved that he was neither dreaming nor hallucinating.

"You mean, we're already in the supernatural age?"

"Yeah, sigh, uncle, you're really unlucky to have been forced into working illegally on an ocean-going ship by the yakuza."

No wonder he seems out of touch with the times.
It turns out they really didn't know.

"This, this is too much—"

Even after hearing the explanation from the high school girl Satomi, Matsumoto Jinpei still found it hard to accept.

He worked on a squid fishing boat every day, resting during the day and working at night. In addition, he had no cell phone, computer, television, or even radio, which meant he was completely unaware of information from the outside world.

Now back to the island nation,

Hearing about things like "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons," "Wrath of the Forest," "Fairy Tale Kingdom," and even "Battle of Great Onmyoji" suddenly made me feel terrible.

Is this still Earth? This is nothing compared to what other worlds are like: a few years ago, Japanese anime and games with the "isekai" (another world) theme exploded, earning them the nickname "toilet paper." Matsumoto Jinpei knew a little about it. The current situation was far more bizarre than even being transported to another world.

At least in most other worlds, people don't dare to, or rather, don't experience the disappearance of millions of people.

"It's ten million, Uncle Jinbe."

High school girl Satomi points out that several supernatural disasters have caused a severe exodus of the island nation's population, coupled with the influx of mercenaries and 'adventurers' from various countries, resulting in unrest that is approaching the tens of millions.

"Fortunately, our Aomori Prefecture is located in a remote area and has not been affected so far."

This is Higashidori Village, Shimokita Town, Aomori Prefecture, which faces Hokkaido across the sea: an inconspicuous little fishing village on the coastline of an island nation.

The residents all make a living by fishing: Satomi Sato is also skilled at trawling, and as a result, she caught a supernatural being.

"Uncle, let's join forces!"

High school girl Satomi tries to persuade the middle-aged man in front of her.

"I'll help you devise a plan. With your supernatural powers, it's not impossible for you to rule Shimokitazawa, no, even Aomori Prefecture!"

Jinpei Matsumoto always felt that he was the one with the problem when faced with this 'ambitious' high school girl.

"Aside from the change in his face, it seems like nothing has changed?"

"How not?"

Satomi pointed out without hesitation,
"You ate a whole pot of rice in one go and still call yourself human?"

That makes perfect sense, leaving Jinbe speechless.

"Let's go, let's find a place to test it, then we'll know, right?"

Urged on by Satomi, Matsumoto Jinpei reluctantly went to the fisherman's house, took a quick look, and was shocked.

"See? I told you Uncle Jinbe is a supernatural being."

"Is this really me?"

Jinpei Matsumoto, who lifted a fishing boat directly, felt like it was unreal.

The fishing boat was small, but it was equipped with an engine and a propeller, weighing at least several hundred kilograms. He lifted it up with ease, and Matsumoto Jinpei felt that he could lift it even if it were twice as heavy.

In other words, he could completely flip an ordinary hut over.

So I'm not human anymore.
As this thought flashed through his mind, Matsumoto Jinpei didn't know how to describe his feelings.

Melancholy? Confusion? Fear? Or joy?

"How was it, uncle?"

After testing the 'ability', high school girl Satomi continued to encourage him.

"Such power is more than enough to make one a king!"

thud,

After gently lowering the fishing boat he had searched, Matsumoto Jinpei shook hands, his expression complex.

"No, I want to go home."

???

This answer stunned Satomi Sato.
No way! Although she didn't find any supernatural secret techniques, she did find an uncle who possessed them, and she wasn't willing to give up so easily.

Since that's the case, let's just take a gamble:
"Okay, I'll go with you!"

???

Now it was Matsumoto Jinpei's turn to be stunned.
