The Emperor Engine's God-like Skill System

While King was thinking, his somewhat simple answer surprised the girl slightly:

"So, did you kill him just now?"

"Yes."

King nodded.

Upon hearing King's words, a smile gradually appeared on the girl's face. A glint of light flashed in her golden eyes, and the tears in the corners of her eyes showed that she had been terrified. Only after King dealt with the monster did she dare to show her emotions.

"Thank you so much!"

As the girl spoke, she bowed deeply to King.

"My name is Yotsuya Miko. Nice to meet you! May I ask your name, sir?"

"king".

Chapter 130: The JK Girl Named Yotsuya Miko

"King?"

The girl, who identified herself as Yotsuya Miko, was slightly taken aback, and for a moment thought she had misheard.

"Ah."

King nodded.

“Okay... Mr. King..."

For a moment, Yotsuya Miko didn't know what to say. The name 'King' was more suitable as a nickname than a name, and using the word 'King' as a nickname was a bit too childish.

However, for King, this name was nothing special; after all, in their world, some people had much stranger names.

Tornado, Blizzard, Sexy Prisoner...

In King's original world, these names would be more normal.

At this moment, Miko Yotsuya raised her head, her gaze falling on King's face, her expression full of curiosity.

She had only unlocked that special ability a few days ago, which allowed her to see ghosts and monsters that ordinary people couldn't see—but she didn't dare reveal it, because Yotsuya Miko could sense that if those ghosts and monsters became aware that she could see them, they would probably attack her.

This is why Yotsuya Miko pretended nothing had happened, even though she was so close to the demon.

After all, all Yotsuya Miko possessed was the ability to see ghosts and monsters. As for things like exorcising demons and monsters, Yotsuya Miko neither knew how nor dared to do so.

So after seeing King defeat the demons, Yotsuya Miko became very interested in King.

Even though King looks very fierce, Yotsuya Miko can sense that he is not a bad person.

Most importantly, King possesses the ability to kill evil spirits.

Although not much time has passed since she acquired this special ability, during this period, Yotsuya Miko has had to be on high alert at all times, and she has also had to endure sudden threats from monsters.

Once the fact that he can see ghosts is revealed, he will probably die a horrible death.

For Yotsuya Miko, this ability was not a gift, but more like a curse. It was better when she couldn't see ghosts, as she didn't have to be so tense every day.

Yotsuya Miko thought to herself that if she could stay with King, perhaps she could find a way to get away from these evil spirits.

"Mr. King, are you free now?"

Yotsuya Miko clapped her hands and asked in a pleading tone,

"To express my gratitude to Mr. King, let me treat you to a meal!"

King nodded after hearing what Yotsuya Miko said.

Although this place is very similar to the world he was in before, King is now certain that it is not his previous world, but a genuine other world.

This made King eager to learn more about the world.

Starting with the food industry is also a good option.

It's almost noon now, and lunchtime is approaching. King is also feeling hungry from playing games.

"Well, let's go."

......

The two soon arrived at a ramen restaurant.

Yotsuya Miko didn't know what would be suitable to eat either, after all, she was just an ordinary student and didn't have any special knowledge about food.

Too cheap a meal lacks sincerity, and too expensive a meal is beyond her means. After eliminating options from among many, Yotsuya Miko finally chose ramen.

"Gentlemen, our signature ramen is here!"

The owner placed two large bowls of ramen in front of the two of them.

Inside the delicate bowl are narrow ramen noodles, submerged in a pale yellow broth. A neatly sliced ​​egg lies on top, next to several sizable but extremely thin slices of beef. On the other side of the bowl are seaweed and vegetables, with several peeled and shelled shrimp resting on top of the green ingredients. Fish cakes with red spirals add even more color to the bowl.

King picked up a spoon, gently scooped up a spoonful, and the rich aroma of bone broth was invigorating. He blew on it a few times, then slowly poured the broth into his mouth.

A subtle saltiness bursts on the tongue with its slightly hot temperature, while a rich bone aroma swirls in the mouth. This flavor must have been achieved by simmering for a long time, almost melting the entire bone into the broth.

Although ramen existed in the previous world, this bowl of ramen was truly delicious, making King even more curious about this world.

"By the way, Mr. King."

Yotsuya Miko turned her head and asked.

"Mr. King, what do you do for a living?"

Yotsuya Miko noticed that King's clothes and appearance seemed rather ordinary, unlike the exorcists she had seen on television. Moreover, King's fierce-looking face and the huge scar across his eye made him look somewhat like a member of the underworld. Therefore, Yotsuya Miko was very curious about what King did for a living.

"I am a hero."

King casually remarked that in the past, if others knew he was eating at this restaurant, they would definitely crowd around it, forcing King to wear a mask and hat every time he went out.

King was surprisingly happy to be unrecognized, knowing that his life wouldn't be disturbed.

However, upon hearing King's answer, Yotsuya Miko was slightly taken aback, her mouth agape slightly, and a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes:

"hero?"

Yotsuya Miko sensed that King didn't seem to understand her meaning, so she continued,

"Mr. King, I wanted to ask about your profession?"

"I've already said it, I'm a hero."

Seeing the confusion on Miko Yotsuya's face, King also became puzzled.

"A profession is what makes a hero."

"Then, Mr. King, may I ask... what do you heroes do?"

Yotsuya Miko pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and then asked.

In this world, there is no concept of a professional hero, and for King, being a hero is no different from any other profession.

This led Yotsuya Miko to immediately speculate whether the word 'hero' might have some special meaning.

Or rather, King is actually a strange guy.

"Maintaining social order and repelling strange people, etc."

King answered immediately.

"A weirdo..."

"Oh, I see..."

Although Yotsuya Miko's eyes were full of doubt, upon closer thought, she realized that the hero King was referring to might be someone like a 'vigilante'.

She began to think of King as a self-employed folk exorcist.

There is no such profession as "hero" in this world, and the concept of the word "weirdo" is also different.

In the original reality where King lived, "weirdos" refers to people and creatures with superpowers or mutations, and sometimes even machines can be included.

However, in Miko Yotsuya's world, "weirdo" really means "strange ordinary person".

However, King noticed that Yotsuya Miko's eyes had become even more hesitant, and immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Does this mean that the concept of a professional hero doesn't exist in this world?

That's very likely.

After all, this is another world, and it's uncertain whether the concept of "weirdos" even exists.

King, having played countless games and watched countless anime with time-travel themes, wasn't surprised after thinking about it carefully.

The most urgent task now is to understand what is really going on in this world as soon as possible.

It's more convenient to get the memory directly from the image area than to ask questions.

Therefore, King decided to make use of his healing abilities.

Recovery skills can not only change the target's status, but also acquire the target's memories.

However, King, being a former hero, would not do something like directly acquiring someone else's memories. He would first ask Yotsuya Miko's opinion.

"Yotsuya, would you mind letting me see your memories?"

King asked.

"Ah?"

After hearing King's words, Yotsuya Miko paused slightly again.

"Mr. King, you mean reading memories?"

"Ah."

King nodded and continued explaining.

"I can access someone's memories through touch. If you don't agree, then forget it."

"I'm sorry... I can't quite accept this..."

Yotsuya Miko declined somewhat awkwardly.

Although there are many things in this world that are beyond Miko's comprehension, King's words are simply too absurd and sound too strange.

And even if what King said is true, she still doesn't like the feeling of having her memories read by others.
