What to do if you're forced to marry a demon king's daughter in a horror game?

It's really absurd when you think about it.

The mere presence of a freak with no chance of winning made them both panic as if the end of the world had come.

“Miss Ryoko, you…”

Su Yu blushed and tried to keep some distance from her, but she could only be held tighter.

Ryoko's possessiveness was at an all-time high.

Even if she herself is not aware of this, her behavior has already betrayed her.

"Xiaoyu, how did you know it was me?"

"Your scent is quite noticeable..."

The scent was so close, the embrace so tight, that Su Yu was ashamed to recall those things that happened in the Soul Mansion.

Ugh, just thinking about it makes my legs go weak.

Does it smell like a fox?

Ryoko sniffed her wrist and then shook her sleeve.

He tilted his head in confusion and let out a soft "Huh?"

"I don't think it tastes like anything."

Su Yu's face flushed, and she muttered softly, "It's not like it smells bad..."

"Then, it must be the smell of incense from the shrine."

Ryoko pointed to the hillside not far away.

wink wink.

“I saw an abandoned Inari shrine there. I just did a quick clean-up. Why don’t we go there and rest for a while?”

Su Yu had no other choice but to let the fox take her there.

Ryoko changed her position, carrying her on her back and carefully supporting her as they walked between the tree canopies.

"From now on, Xiaoyu won't let anyone carry her, okay?"

"Um……?"

"The Ghost King was so jealous he almost went berserk."

“Eh…!?”

"She practically forced two million ghost money on me just so I would tell you how jealous she was."

"Nani?!"

Su Yu was stunned for a moment.

In her view, she was nothing more than a toy to Miss Ghost King.

Could it be that I am actually more important than I think?

This thought made her feel quite flattered.

Just as she was lost in thought, Ryoko added in a very soft voice:

"Being jealous is her business, but not wanting others to have their thoughts behind your back is my own."

188. This is the rivalry you've been fantasizing about, Izumo clan!

"Miss Ryoko, did you say anything?"

The wind was too strong, and Su Yu didn't hear what Ryoko said.

Ryoko snorted and said, "I said Xiaoyu is too thin, she should eat more vinegar."

Su Yu: "Huh?"

Ryoko choked for a moment, paused for two seconds, and then said, "Vinegar... Vinegar-braised eggplant."

Su Yu: "..."

Okay, she'll try to be more jealous.

Looking back at where Yun Shi might be, she sighed again.

This pervert also made her realize some things, namely that the rewards for the mission were not so important to her that she couldn't give them up.

The principle of "profit above all else" that I've been reminding myself of since entering this world doesn't seem to be working right now.

"Experience points, ghost money, rare items, etc., I guess I should just forget about them."

Even if leveling up is slower, you earn less money, or you get fewer items, so what?

It must have been quite embarrassing to have made these two big shots panic and lose their composure.

As Su Yu thought this, a feeling of guilt gradually welled up inside her.

So, in a very soft voice, he muttered something:

"Okay, I won't do it again."

"Ah."

"Huh? Did you hear that?!"

"Yeah, I heard that."

Ryoko's fox ears twitched.

Her usually expressionless face was now adorned with a happy smile.

What an easy fox to fool.

……

……

Inari Shrine.

Yes, we need to add the word "abandoned" before it.

From this courtyard, overgrown with weeds and where poisonous snakes are often seen, it's clear that the divine light of Inari no longer extends here.

"In the past, Izumo Province devoted itself very diligently to the worship of Inari, but in recent years..."

Ryoko paused for a moment after saying this.

He grabbed the venomous snake that was eyeing him menacingly on the treetop, tied it in a tight knot, and then put it back.

"In recent years, Izumo has declined."

"Most cultivators do not want to cultivate the path of immortality, but rather admire the path of ghosts."

"The advantage of cultivating the ghost path is that there are not so many taboos, and as long as you are ruthless, your cultivation can advance by leaps and bounds."

Su Yu nodded thoughtfully.

Once inside the shrine, the conditions in the surrounding area were much better than in the courtyard.

Ryoko did indeed tidy up the place simply, cleaning up the tables and chairs and even placing a bouquet of flowers on the table.

"We're transparent now, aren't we?"

"Hmm." Ryoko reached out and pinched Su Yu's cheek. "Right now, only I can pinch your cheek."

Su Yu lowered her head shyly, using this small movement to avoid Ryoko's hand.

Ryoko didn't insist, but simply smiled and handed over a plate of grilled fish.

"Would you like to try some? Our famous grilled silver moonfish."

"Is this the silver moonfish?"

Su Yu picked up her chopsticks and poked at the piece of snow-white fish in the plate.

"I heard that eating it gives you a very refreshing feeling, I wonder if that's true?"

Ryoko chuckled and said, "You can give it a try."

So, at her urging, Su Yu picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth.

Chew and chew.

The aroma of charcoal grilling gradually spread throughout the mouth.

The unusual fishy smell caught Su Yu's eye.

"How could this be..."

"It's delicious, isn't it?"

"Ok!"

Su Yu rarely gets to eat something so delicious, and since arriving in this instance, she has been suffering and hasn't had a proper meal. So, she couldn't help but feel a surge of appetite and ate two more pieces.

Ryoko looked at her with a smile.

"Eating too much isn't good for you."

"Ok?"

"It will feel cold."

"is it?"

Su Yu touched her cheek and then pinched her arm.

I don't feel cold.

However, she still resisted her appetite and put down her chopsticks.

"I'm done eating! Is there anything I can help you with now?" Su Yu said, yawning.

It's easy to feel sleepy when you're full.

While she was with Izumo, she remained on high alert, constantly watching Izumo's every move, giving her not even the slightest chance.
