Shota is surrounded by monsters!

Shinobu ruffled her messy hair and said, "The price is very high, you know."

"I'm willing to pay any price that's possible."

“Sure.” Shinobu slowly walked up to Kiss-Shot and Shota, who were wrestling, and suddenly stabbed Kiss-Shot in the heart with something unknown.

"You little brat!"

Kiss-Shot seemed to sense something was amiss and looked at Oshino Meme with a vicious gaze.

But Oshino Meme ignored Kiss-Shot and said, "Well, how should I put it, little brother, I wasn't really keen on getting involved in the affairs of youkai. But you're surprisingly to my liking. Although your existence disrupts the balance, you've been mediating it from beginning to end, whether by your own intentions or not. I really wanted to intervene at the Sesshoseki. But you made Ghost Girl and her friends unhappy—no, in a way, it was the best ending for them. I really admire you for that."

"I never imagined a happy ending for everyone."

Meme Oshino looked at Shota and said, "But you can do it. I've already fulfilled the first condition. The second condition is a bit difficult... but it's not without a solution. However, you two might only be able to achieve a portion of your wishes. Taotie, bring Blade Heart to the brink of death, take away most of her vampire characteristics and skills, but don't kill her. In this way, Blade Heart will be even closer to death than before, becoming invisible, formless, without source, without origin, and even without a name. She will become a vampire-like human, a lowly existence. In that state, even if she's extremely hungry, she won't be able to eat people."

"But in that case, Bladeheart will starve to death due to malnutrition, so you must frequently feed Bladeheart your blood. You have turned her into that inferior being, so she can only survive on your flesh and blood. You must dedicate the rest of your life to Bladeheart; Bladeheart's rest of her life must also depend on you. Of course, her memories will still be retained. In that sense, she is still your mother."

"And you will inherit most of Kiss-Shot's power. Transfer all the hatred that was originally directed at her onto yourself, how about it?"

"What does a brat less than a tenth my age know! He talks a good game... I don't want to live a miserable life! There's a limit to shame, I don't want to live a shameful life! This is my burial ground! I finally found it, I finally got to die! I... I want to die for my son! Let me die for him! Kill me, kill me—kill me now! I don't want to live!"

Kiss-Show shouted loudly.

“Mom,” Shota said, stroking her golden hair, “I… want to be a place for you to stay.”

"Please... hurry, kill me..."

"I'm sorry, Mom. Although I'm very filial, I will judge for myself what's best for you. If you resent me, we can talk about it later."

The next morning. Senjougahara had been pulled out of danger, but she was still unconscious.

Shota touched the sharp horns on his head that could no longer be covered by his hair and sighed.

"May I ask a question?"

Huang Quan suddenly appeared beside Shota and said, "Why do you like your mother so much? You didn't even meet for those thirty years. Don't talk about blood relations."

“…” Shota was silent for a moment, then said, “Because of breasts.”

"..."

"Because my mom's breasts are the most perfect and spectacular I've ever seen." Shota looked at Yomi with a serious face and said, "Being held in your mom's arms and feeling the warmth of her breasts that comes from the instinct of life, isn't that every boy's dream?"

"Just because of that?"

“Don’t underestimate breasts! Even a hero would be captivated by the Demon King’s breasts!” Shota paused for a moment, then added, “Actually, there are other reasons as well.”

"What's the reason?"

"Isn't it more natural for a man to remember the person who took his virginity?"

"Pfft... what first time?"

"Ah, I don't know." Shota sighed, then looked towards the corner of the corridor, where his own shadow, elongated by the light, lay, and there was another, blonde...

Little girl.

Shinobu Kosaka, the mother of Shota Kosaka.

"Mom, Mom..." Shota walked up, squatted down, and said to the blonde loli, "Don't just drink a little bit of my blood all the time. Be good, don't be irritable, draw more, and then get your voluptuous figure back!"

The blonde girl remained silent.

But her eyes still conveyed her hatred to Shota.

After all, she was the one who became unfortunate in this incident.

No, Shota also became unfortunate because his mother went from a busty mature woman to a flat-chested loli.

They are currently in the stage of arguing between mother and son.

However, they will make up soon.

Chapter 118. The Long-Awaited School Days and Chuunibyou (Middle School Syndrome)

Image: "I'll chop you up, you unfilial son!", Location: "Images/201557-32200.jpg"

"Mom, dinner's ready."

Shota walked to the corner of the wall. The "problem girl" role that used to be reserved for vengeful spirits in the underworld has now been taken over by his mother, Shinobu Kousaka.

Shota squatted down, looked at his mother who was hugging her knees and not saying a word, ruffled her hair, and said, "The routine pledge of allegiance, followed by eating."

However, Shinobu still ignored him.

Meme Oshino—that old man told her that Shin under the blade was dead, but she wasn't really dead. What died was her name, identity, and abilities, but she was still alive—her memories, emotions, and thoughts were all preserved.

So, the mother isn't unwilling to talk; she's just still resentful that she didn't kill her, which is why she's throwing a tantrum.

Shota felt the world was changing too fast when his mother, who used to take care of him, suddenly became the little girl he had to take care of.

He held Shinobu in his arms like a baby, gently pressing her head towards his neck. She was somewhat unable to resist Shota, and obediently bit his neck, taking small sips of blood that barely sustained her.

What an awkward mom. Shota thought for a moment. It seemed that to get his mom back to normal, he had to do things like winning over a girl. He couldn't rush it. He had to find out her interests step by step.

Hmm...girls generally like desserts, right? Maybe I can stop by a dessert shop after school this afternoon. But...

"How do we solve this?"

Shota took out a mirror and carefully examined his reflection. Now, he had two sharp, curved horns on his head, which could not be concealed by his hair.

"It's not broken."

Huang Quan crossed his arms and looked it over for a few moments, then said, "Something this big can't be hidden at all."

“That’s true.” Shota was now wearing his school uniform, but he felt he couldn’t possibly get into school like this, so he asked Yomi, who seemed quite knowledgeable, “You should have a way, right?”

"It's a pity."

Huang Quan spread his hands, a mischievous smile on his face, and said, "If you ask me to come up with a solution, the only thing I can think of is cutting off this corner. Using Mimi Kirimaru should solve the problem."

"That's it."

Shota shuddered. Asking Yomi was a terrible decision. Looking at the beautiful horns on his head in the mirror, he said, "It's such a waste to cut them off. Such pretty horns would be great for attracting monster girls, right? I remember some animals use their horns to woo mates?"

"Hmm." Huang Quan coughed and said to Shota, "Don't let Rea's absence make you talkative. You know, I'm the type to secretly tattle."

"...Yes, yes, I was wrong, Yomi-sama."

Shota offered a half-hearted apology, then combed his hair in an attempt to cover it up—to no avail.

Due to certain reasons—Shota's inadequate protection—Rea was temporarily taken back to Ichiro Sanka's house. She hadn't been home for a long time, so staying for a couple of days wouldn't be bad. Therefore, Shota didn't object too much, because although Rea had drawn a lot of blood from herself before leaving, that amount would only last for two or three days at most, meaning that Rea would definitely come back in two or three days.

Senjougahara is still lying in the hospital, and Shota decides to visit her after school. Seriously, Senjougahara's luck has been really bad lately; she always gets dragged into these kinds of things. Hopefully, she won't hold a grudge against him.

"Speaking of which, what's Huang Quan's bra size?"

"C-CUP".

"Keep it up! My Rea might just break through to a D cup! If you're flat-chested, I'll definitely abandon you in my next life!"

"Bam—"

Shota was sent flying.

"Even my Mashiro got a B grade."

Shota slowly crawled out of the ground, looked at Mashiro who was drinking juice and proudly puffing out her small chest, and muttered something.

"Bam—"

Yellow Springs Double Strike.

"You, you breast maniac!"

"Tch... I'm going to find that snake woman upstairs with H-cup breasts."

"Bam—"

The Three Links to the Underworld.

"Shameless! Saying such things in front of your fiancé in your next life? Believe me, I'll send you to be reincarnated with me right now!"

"..." Shota suddenly looked at the furious Yomi and said, "Speaking of which, when did I become someone's fiancé in the next life?"

"..."

Huang Quan was taken aback. Even as a ghost, her face flushed slightly. She covered her face with her small paper fan and whispered, "You said it yourself."

"Eh... I see, I see."

Shota sat on the tatami mat and said with a smile, "So that's why you wanted to kill me so badly? So you just wanted me to go to my next life sooner."

"pat-"

Huang Quan put away the paper fan, pointed at Shota and said, "Shota, don't you think you've become lewd lately? You were such an innocent boy when we first met."

"..." Shota shrugged and said, "That's because I'm almost an adult."

Yes, after absorbing his mother's power, Shota is getting closer to adulthood. The power within him is basically sufficient; he just needs that final qualitative change to trigger a quantitative change. Currently, he's strong enough to easily defeat an A-rank yokai without even needing hand-to-hand combat. Of course, facing the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons directly might still be a bit dangerous.

As he gets closer to adulthood, it means Shota's body is starting to develop. It seems like in just a few years, he'll step into adulthood and then confidently tell Rea, "We're all adults now," and then... well, you know...

"You won't go into heat randomly then, will you?"

"That would obviously lead to tubal ligation, wouldn't it!"

Shota muttered something, then stood up again, patted his pants, and said, "I remember I have a hat at home. I'll wear it to school later. It's boring staying at home all the time."

Seeing that Shota had returned to his original form, Yomi suddenly burrowed into... Mashiro's body.

Mashiro shivered slightly, then looked at Shota with a puzzled expression.

"It's too crowded where you are."

Huang Quan said, "I think I'll stay here with Mashiro."

"...Mashiro, come here!"

Shota waved, signaling Mashiro to come to him.

"Oh!"

Mashiro put down her juice and ran towards Shota.

"Let's get intimate!"
