Shota is surrounded by monsters!

Just as Shota was buying a drink, he saw Kagura Tsuchimiya. When he turned around, he found that Rea, who was supposed to be waiting for him, had disappeared.

He immediately thought of the worst-case scenario, and without saying a word, he followed behind Tsuchimiya Kagura. Then, taking advantage of her inattention, he knocked her unconscious with a chop to the neck, intending to use her as a hostage to exchange for Rea.

Fortunately, when Shota arrived, Rea didn't seem to be injured. He then simply threw the useless hostage over to him.

"Hey... I'm fine~"

Seeing the worry in Shota's eyes, Rea smiled and reassured him, "Nothing's wrong~"

"That's good."

Next, it's time to deal with these two exorcists.

A dark and windy night is the perfect time for murder and arson.

“A ferocious beast… Taotie.”

Huang Quan reported the demonic beast that had wiped out most of the countermeasures team's forces. If she had encountered it a moment earlier, she might have called for reinforcements from the countermeasures team without hesitation. But now…

No, regardless of what she thinks, without spirit beasts, the situation is entirely in Shota's hands. They don't even have a chance to resist.

Shota, however, has no time for chatting or romance right now.

These two people are among the reasons for Rei's "death".

Shota suppressed the demonic energy surging within him, slowly opening his mouth to look at Yomi, who was warily watching him from the corner, and Kagura, who had already fainted.

Huang Quan, his legs trembling, managed to stand up and shielded Kagura behind him. Since the other party had no intention of communicating, then fighting was the only option.

"Ow!"

With a whistle, Shota pounced directly at Yomi, who had no fighting strength left and had no chance to resist. Shota pinned her down.

"open……"

Huang Quan tried to push Shota away by supporting herself with her hands on his chin, and her legs began to kick aimlessly.

Girls with spiritual powers are incredibly delicious!

My saliva was already dripping uncontrollably.

Thick saliva dripped onto Huang Quan's face, making it difficult for her to open her eyes, but she still didn't give up. She channeled her spiritual power into her fists, trying to stop Shota's invasion, but...

Her spiritual power suddenly began to be absorbed, bit by bit, and no matter how she used it, she could not strengthen her physical body.

Was it devoured?!

"It tastes so good... your spiritual energy..." Shota, who was trying to use his fear to absorb the other's spiritual energy, revealed a look of enjoyment on his ferocious face. This natural taste without any additives was so addictive that he was already somewhat addicted after just one sip.

This taste is amazing!

A greedy glint appeared in Shota's eyes. Ignoring her resistance and curses, he tore open her clothes at the shoulder with his claws.

Absolutely delicious!

Shota opened his mouth wide, lowered his head and took Yomi's entire collarbone into his mouth. His tongue, with its suction power, directly extracted the spiritual energy hidden within Yomi's body!

Exorcists are so great! As long as they don't finish eating at once, they will automatically recover. That way, I can kidnap a few exorcists and take them home. They can eat a mouthful of spiritual energy every morning and another mouthful before going to bed.

These days are amazing! And the quality of this spiritual energy is extremely high. Shota estimates that if he eats Yomi from head to toe hundreds of times, he can instantly escape his infancy, and then he can capture even more delicious food...

"Um……"

As her internal energy began to be drained once again, Huang Quan let out a groan. She bit her lip, trying to regain her senses, and then kicked the monster hard in the groin!

Swah——

Shota's tail curled up, binding Yomi's exposed ankles together to prevent her from kicking again. He didn't want to discover any lifelong regrets only after he grew up!

"Go ahead and scream, scream until you're hoarse, no one will come to save you..."

"You'll regret this, you glutton!"

Before he could finish speaking, Shota saw a paper talisman fly out of Yomi's clothes.

"useless!"

Shota took a deep breath and swallowed the communication talisman whole. At the same time, to prevent this person from carrying anything strange, he wanted to strip Huang Quan naked...

"At least... please let her go..."

Having exhausted all her last resorts, Huang Quan had given up hope. No, or rather, she still had one last suicidal move, but using it here would inevitably drag Kagura down with her.

"Um... Shota-chan... what are you doing?"

After watching for a while, Rea realized that the scene was gradually turning into an R-rated scene, and finally couldn't help but ask a question.

Oh no... I forgot Rea was still watching.

Shota tore Yomi's clothes in half before realizing that he wasn't just accompanied by Mashiro anymore; there was also the kind-hearted Rea...

How to do?

Shota looked at the pieces of clothing on his paws, feeling troubled.

Chapter Thirty-Eight. I'll spare your life, but I'll eat you next time.

"Shota-chan, can you please not kill them?"

Seeing that Shota seemed to want to kill him, Rea couldn't bear it and made her request.

No, I had no intention of killing them at all. I just wanted to kidnap them, take care of them, and let them recover their spiritual power so they could repay me.

Of course, that's what I thought, but saying it out loud would be a bit too much. If Reya thought I was a pervert, I'd be in big trouble.

The claws pressing against Huang Quan's body, and the tail binding her legs, continued to drain her spiritual power. For Shota, the fear called "food" allowed him to devour anything his body touched—of course, he had to bite physical objects with his mouth, and using fear to eat only gave him a feeling of fullness, but not the pleasure of licking.

If I could, I'd love to eat it slowly by licking it.

"Humph……"

As his spiritual energy was being rapidly drained, Huang Quan couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

but……

She met Shota's large, bell-like eyes without flinching. She was waiting for his answer, or rather, she wanted to decide whether to perish together based on his answer.

She could bear the humiliation she herself suffered, but she did not want Kagura to be treated the same way.

But in Rea's view, Shota seemed to be struggling with his own thoughts.

"Shota-chan...they shouldn't be bad people."

Rea still didn't want to see anyone die in front of her, especially since, in her heart, her "death" was entirely her own doing and had nothing to do with anyone else. But then she thought about how these people had also hurt Shota, and she became somewhat undecided.

Consider that punch as having avenged all the wrongs?

“Reya.” Shota turned his head. He knew that with Reya present, he might have no choice but to let them go in the end, but he still wanted to buy time to completely drain Yomi first. So he talked nonsense to Reya: “There are all kinds of people in the world. So there are many exorcists or Onmyoji who hunt down all the demons and monsters they see without distinguishing right from wrong, with the mentality that ‘those who are not of our kind must have different hearts.’”

"For them, hunting monsters is just to satisfy their vanity. Just like those extremely evil monsters, they take pleasure in hunting humans."

Removing the "edible" label, Shota felt it was too dangerous to simply put them back, especially since Rea had called out his name in front of them. Even if Shota was a common name, given the professional instincts of these exorcists, they would first suspect everyone around them named Shota, and then gradually eliminate their suspicions.

Once they notice "Shota Kosaka's" unusual behavior, their carefully concealed human forms will inevitably be exposed.

Well, in that case, I'd have to move to the Nura Clan's residence, or I could take the Nura Clan's nameplate and go to other cities to conduct business.

"They're just like those monsters, their hands are stained with blood." Shota turned to look at Yomi Isayama and said, "Dare you say you haven't killed any innocent monsters yourself?!"

Huang Quan fell silent. What is innocence? Many kinds of monsters, such as undead monsters, are wrong to humans because of their very existence. Moreover, all monsters, whether intentional or unintentional, emit a demonic aura that is unlikely to be beneficial to humans.

“I have killed... but that child hasn’t. She hasn’t killed a single monster until now... so please let her go.”

That child refers to Kagura Tsuchimiya.

Shota didn't hold a grudge against the POCKY girl, probably because she was too weak at the time, so weak that she couldn't possibly affect the battle. In addition, he had a lively and cheerful impression of her, and he also owed her a bag of POCKY, so Shota didn't have any negative feelings towards her.

But Yomi Isayama was different. Every time they met, it seemed like they were always fighting—except in their human forms. Furthermore, if it weren't for her interference, Rea wouldn't have ended up like this. Therefore, Shota really didn't like her.

However, this person named Isayama Yomi...

It's so delicious!

"Then you die in her place, and I'll let her go, okay?"

Shota said sarcastically, but then noticed a resolute look on Yomi's face.

"it is good!"

As she spoke, she slightly opened her mouth, as if she wanted to bite off the root of her tongue...

Don't be so decisive! I haven't finished speaking yet! Where am I going to find such delicious food after you die?

After all, the only men in this city stronger than Isayama Yomi seem to be old men. Even if Shota is incredibly frustrated, he wouldn't lick an old man's body. So, for Shota, Isayama Yomi is equivalent to…

A versatile, all-terrain, top-of-the-line automatic ration production machine!

He didn't want the machine to break down so soon.

"hiss--"

Shota gasped in shock. Luckily, he reacted quickly and shoved his tail into her mouth, but her teeth bit down hard on the tip of his tail.

This guy's teeth are better than Zhenbai's!

"Mmm, mmm—"

With her mouth stuffed with a fluffy tail, Huang Quan looked bewildered, but out of a woman's instinct, she bit down on what was in her mouth again.

"It hurts so much!"

Shota quickly retracted his tail. The fur on his tail, which he had just carefully groomed that afternoon, was now a mess of Yomi's saliva, and a row of teeth marks could be clearly seen.

"I am not one of those people who kill without reason."

Shota blew two breaths into her tail, completely draining her spiritual power. If he continued, she probably wouldn't be able to recover. So he covered Yomi's body with the torn clothes again and whispered, "I'll spare your life today, but don't bother Rea again. If I see you attacking Rea again... don't blame me for taking a human hostage."

"With my strength, swallowing tens of thousands of people whole in one go wouldn't be a big problem," Shota threatened coldly. "Before you attack me next time, think carefully about whether you can afford to suffer this level of loss."

After saying these words, he walked directly towards Rei, ignored her struggles, picked her up in his mouth, and then leaped onto the roof.

"Huang Quan... what's wrong with you?"

Kagura, who had just woken up, looked at Yomi, whose clothes were now tattered, with a confused expression on her face. Her head was still a little dizzy, and she had no idea what had happened.

But upon seeing the blood at the corner of Huang Quan's mouth, she realized something was wrong. She quickly ran over and helped Huang Quan up...

"I'm sorry, Kagura."
