Why is the Demon King like this?

A little after nine o'clock, Shiraishi Chizuru arrived carrying a bag of ingredients.

"Phew—I'm exhausted."

Shiraishi entered and immediately launched into a sob story: "It's so hot!"

"Come in quickly, Hanako, let's cool her down."

"Um!?"

Before Shiraishi Chizuru could refuse, a pair of icy little hands had already touched her thigh.

"Eek—" A scream.

She could faintly hear the girl's mischievous laughter. Shiraishi Chizuru was immediately filled with sorrow. Was it easy for her, a cook who had to prepare her own meals?

It's definitely cooler now...

He's just short of being buried...

"I'll leave the rest to you, Dr. Shiraishi."

Keisuke Ao led her into the kitchen: "Just say so if you need any help."

"Give me the ability to see ghosts!"

"That's not called having the ability to see ghosts..."

Keisuke Ao extended his finger and gently touched Chizuru Shiraishi's brow, then brushed it across her closed eyes.

"If I had to call it something, I'd say it's the 'Demon Eye'."

Magic eye?

Shiraishi Chizuru memorized the name, and when she opened her eyes again, she saw a girl in an old-fashioned sailor uniform sitting on the stove, waving at her.

Good evening~

Shiraishi Chizuru looked at her pale, bloodless face, her body stiffened for a moment, and then she slowly exhaled.

"Hello!" She then looked at Aoki Keisuke with a pleading gaze.

"Hanako, come out here. Let me take care of your taste problem first."

Just before Chizuru Shiraishi arrived, Hanako suddenly asked a question—

After she died, she could no longer taste anything.

Aokiji didn't expect the spirits and ghosts in this world to be so specialized, unable to even simulate the five senses, but excelling in the areas of "weirdness" and "grotesqueness"!

I can't understand it!

A human and a ghost entered the living room, and Aokiji gestured for her to sit on the carpet.

"Next, I will directly invoke your spirituality. You must not resist, otherwise, if you fail... you will be injured."

Hanako: "???"

Why am I the one who got hurt?!

"After all, it's all your own spirituality!" Seemingly noticing her confusion, Keisuke Ao explained, "This has an advantage: you don't need to learn it yourself. I can directly help you solidify the effects of your five senses. What you have will be enhanced, and what you don't have will be supplemented."

"all!"

Hearing about such amazing results, Hanako couldn't sit still any longer.

Isn't it just a driver?

Pack all the stuff you can onto me!

"Alright, clear your mind."

Aokiji held the amulet in his palm and touched Hanako's forehead with his fingertips.

If we borrow Hanako's spirituality, we don't need to waste too much energy on the protective charm; the charm only serves as a guide.

He first let Hanako get used to the feeling of her spirit being invoked before he started to sculpt virtual organs for her.

The so-called simulated five senses is not about directly creating a new tongue and eyes for Hanako, but rather about reconnecting her with things through an integrated new organ.

Chizuru Shiraishi, who was in the kitchen, would occasionally peek out. After gaining her magic eyes, she could even vaguely see the flow of spiritual energy within Hanako's body.

On the contrary, this guy, Aoki Keisuke, seems quite ordinary...

Hmph!

If we disregard the possibility of physical deformities in the patient, it is not difficult to create a basic integrated organ. However, to ensure that the version is compatible, more effort is required.

As Aoki Keisuke created, he pondered, "Since this guy's head is completely blank anyway, why not just put it in there..."

"Yamete!"

"Oh? You actually have a talent for telepathy?"

"Waaaaah~ I don't know either, this is the first time this has happened!"

But since the recipient was unwilling, Aoki Keisuke had no choice but to change his approach: "Cat ears? A tail? Or maybe a cowlick?"

Hanako screamed in her mind's eye: "My one and only request in this life: I want breasts!"

"Oh, then I'll get a little ahoge (cowlick)."

"Ya-me-lo!"

Unfortunately, Keisuke Ao is no breast augmentation expert. He simply twisted the organ into a high-flying ahoge, adding a few points of anime-style fashion to Hanako-7274.

"No!"

Hanako burst into tears as soon as she finished the simulation.

An opportunity once presented itself to her: to stand out among her sisters and redeem herself...

And then, just like that, it was gone?

What a crappy ahoge!

Move it away! Move it away!

By the time Shiraishi Chizuru had prepared the midnight snack, Hanako had already cried a puddle of water at her feet, and Ao Keisuke had ordered her to only make cute crying sounds, not to wail like a banshee.

Hanako felt even more wronged.

"What's wrong?" Shiraishi Chizuru asked.

Hanako choked back tears as she recounted Keisuke Ao's crimes, and Chizuru Shiraishi instinctively glanced at the top of Hanako's head.

"Isn't this great? It's so cute!"

"real?"

"Of course... it still can't compare to breasts."

"Wah!" Hanako burst into tears.

Is it possible that Shiraishi Chizuru wasn't a good person either?

Hanako7274 sniffled, drawn by the aroma, her crying becoming increasingly incoherent.

The regained senses made her feel as if she had returned to her distant youth, when she didn't have to be surrounded by filth all day long, and just smelling it even reminded her of her mother.

So even though you're crying, you still have to eat.

After taking the photos and sending them to Rena Kobayashi, Keisuke Ao invited the two of them to sit down.

"Help yourself to drink whatever you like."

"You're still a minor, aren't you?" Upon hearing this, Dr. Shiraishi's sense of adult responsibility took over again.

"Okay, get me a bottle of Yamazaki. There are ice cubes in the fridge." Ao Keisuke seemed not to have heard this.

"Yamazaki?! I want to drink too!" Dr. Shiraishi quickly came down from the high ground, went to the liquor cabinet to get the liquor, and immediately handed it to Tsukishima.

"Tsukishima is Yamazaki from 18~"

"What?! Count me in!"

"I think I just saw a bottle of 'Karuizawa' too, yay~"

After that, no matter how many messages Tsukishima sent, begging for mercy or threatening him, Shiraishi Chizuru maliciously stopped replying.

Because, the delightful late-night snack time is finally about to officially begin.

The two people and the ghost each took their seats on the balcony. The bright moon hung high in the sky, and a cool breeze blew over the tall building. Bai Shiqianhe suddenly had a very strange feeling.

Even though Hanako, who was sitting next to him, was pale and crying, he surprisingly showed no fear.

One reason was that Keisuke Ao was sitting on the other side, and another was that Hanako was indeed innocent and harmless.

Chizuru Shiraishi has a keen insight into this kind of temperament.

"I only made a few dishes tonight because of limited kitchen equipment and time. I'll show off my skills next time I have the chance!" She's already eyeing Aokiji's entire cabinet of wine.

The Demon King has no objection; he'd love for Shiraishi Chizuru to show off a few more skills.

Moreover, looking at the table full of dishes, he strongly suspected that Shiraishi Chizuru was just being modest.

The saury was fried to a golden brown and crispy perfection, the chilled sashimi was fresh and delicious, and there were also two or three main dishes, all of top quality.

Just looking at it makes my mouth water.

Even Hanako's tears streamed down her face.

Yuki had already been lying down at Qing Guijie's feet, with one paw on Qing Guijie's slippers, and occasionally meowing.

Keisuke Ao added ice to their glasses and filled them with whiskey.

Regardless of how much of the rising stars of Japanese whisky are self-promotion and hype, their flavors do have something to offer.

Keisuke Ao raised his glass and smiled knowingly.

"Cheers!"

Oh~~~

Cheers~~~」
