The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

"I am Amaterasu."

Then, with a simple ruse, Ishihara Akira threw the spirit imbued with the Quincy legacy into the body of the shrine maiden named Takasato Makiko, and sent her away.

Afterwards, Ishihara Sho left Meiji Shrine, went to the nearby Yoyogi Park, then crossed Shibuya Ward and arrived at Komaba Ward, where high schools are more concentrated. He strolled around, using his senses to search for other suitable targets.

Tokyo has a population of over 30 million, which cannot be saved by a mere part-time shrine maiden.

"found it."

After searching three or four high schools, they finally found a suitable candidate at Sanshu High School nearby. Without hesitation, they immediately used artificial body technology to create a QB, instilled commands in it, and instructed it to find the girl and turn her into a new generation of magical girl...

Yes, magical girl.

Since we already have shrine maidens, system hosts, and demons, can't we also have magical girls and Kamen Riders?

Oh, right, and there's also Miko.

Thinking of seeing the girl, Ishihara Akira abandoned his plans to send Hollows to other regions and instead went to the nearby Showa Women's University. He randomly picked a girl who was reasonably good-looking and helped her open her third eye.

They put a strange object into her body, replacing her vision with a strange one, using it as a third eye.

Anyway, Ishihara Sho now understands that as long as he can think of it, there is nothing that cannot be replaced by a creation from the shadows.

For example, the previous system, the current FAST telescope, and other miscellaneous things.

It all depends on whether Ishihara Sho's imagination is that wild.

After that, Ishihara Yuu didn't linger. He took a vehicle to Kabukicho, but didn't make any purchases. He just observed around there like a real tourist. Of course, he was really observing, using the special vision of a demon to observe the intensity of the seven emotions and six desires hovering over Kabukicho, as well as the degree of convergence of various negative energies such as greed, anger, ignorance, and poison contained therein.

Then find the place where these forces are most concentrated, and throw the illusion you created on the bus on your way here into the cloud of resentment formed by the seven emotions and six desires and the three poisons of greed, anger and ignorance. Let it absorb and nurture, and it will naturally awaken and exert its original power in a short time.

Then Ishihara Sho left Kabuchi and took the subway towards Adachi Ward.

If you were to ask which area in Tokyo is the most chaotic, aside from Kabukicho, which has a strong local specialty industry, it would be Adachi Ward, which is relatively less developed economically. For example, the infamous case of the "So-and-so" was committed in Adachi Ward. In addition, it is also a training ground for lower-level members of various yakuza groups, so you can imagine how bad the security situation is there.

Even locals in Tokyo would never go there unless absolutely necessary.

Of course, even if they were to run away, they would only do so during the day. Once night fell, the area would truly be a scene of chaos and debauchery.

It was just right for monster raising, so when Ishihara Sho arrived in Adachi Ward, what he saw was a thick aura of resentment filling the sky. It could be said that this world hadn't yet been brought into the supernatural world by him, otherwise, with this intense resentment, who knows how many troubles it would cause in Adachi Ward.

Without further ado, Ishihara Sho created several monsters and threw them into the swirling mass of resentment in the sky. Without lingering, he turned and left, returning to his hotel.

……

Meanwhile, QB, who had temporarily transformed into his spirit form, successfully infiltrated the school, found the magical girl candidate chosen by Ishihara Sho, squatted down beside her, attended classes with her, ran around the school together, and finally returned home with the girl after school in the afternoon.

"Girl, do you want to become a magical girl?" Just as the girl was doing her homework in her bedroom, QB transformed into a cyborg, jumped onto the girl's desk, and spoke to the girl who was startled by its appearance.

"Are you QB?" the girl asked in surprise, looking at QB's familiar posture.

Clearly, she's a fangirl who's watched Puella Magi Madoka Magica and knows Kyubey! Otherwise, why would Ishihara Shou have chosen her from among so many girls at school to be a candidate for magical girl?

Just because she's pretty?

"It's me. Do you want to become a magical girl?" QB asked again.

"No."

"Why?" QB asked, tilting her cute head. "You know, as long as you're willing to become a magical girl, I can grant you any wish."

"I know. But I also understand that becoming a magical girl doesn't end well," the girl shook her head and refused.

"You mean becoming a witch, and the problem of Soul Stone corruption?" QB countered. The girl didn't answer, but QB continued on her own, "While I don't know how you humans came to know the image of our race and used it to create stories, I can only say that the content of the stories is not true, and our QB race is not evil."

"Then can you tell me why you chose me to be a magical girl?" The girl was silent for a moment before asking again.

"Because your soul is pure enough."

"You still say it's different, but the excuses and reasons are exactly the same."

"..."

"You really don't want to become a magical girl?"

"No, I don't want to die young for some inexplicable reason."

"Alright then." After saying that, QB turned to look at her again, then leaped into the air, deactivated his artificial body mode, and returned to his spirit form, disappearing from the girl's sight.

"QB? QB?" The girl called out hesitantly twice, and when QB did not appear, she breathed a sigh of relief, whether with regret or relief, and picked up her homework again.

……

Then, in the middle of the night, Ishihara Akira once again pulled everyone into the world of dreams.

"Welcome to my world. Now that we're all familiar with each other, I won't waste any more words. Your test today is wilderness survival, which means you'll have to live on a deserted island for a month, relying on your own efforts." After saying that, the scenery before Ishihara and the others changed. They went from the blank room to a deserted island with lush vegetation. All the modern items on Ishihara and the others disappeared, and they were all restored to their most primitive state as newborn humans.

"The timer is now on. Good luck!"

Chapter 243 Farewell Invitation

The next day.

"I'm going back to Nagoya and I'd like to have one last get-together with everyone before I leave. Anyone want to come with me?" Ishihara Akira sent a message in the Dream World Mutual Aid Association that Fukuhara Ai had created.

Everyone remained silent, but the responses in private messages, or one-on-one conversations, were quite intense.

"Time and place." This is Ai Fukuhara.

"Aren't you staying in Tokyo?" This was Mima Ito's question.

"Is it really just a simple party?" Reiko Shiota replied.

"..." Konno Mie didn't know what to say.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to bring things from my dreams into reality..." retired volleyball star Saori Kimura replied.

“I’m sorry, today is my husband’s birthday, and I want to stay home and celebrate with him,” Kurihara Megumi replied.

“I’m not very familiar with Tokyo, so you should choose the location,” Ishihara Akira replied to Fukuhara Ai on her screen.

“My career is all in Nagoya, and I don’t have any plans to develop in Tokyo for the time being. Why don’t you go to Nagoya?” Ishihara Akira replied to Ito Mima.

“Of course, if possible, I would also like to bring some of the things I experienced in the dream world into reality.” Ishihara Akira said to Shiota Reiko without any pretense.

“Okay. But if you change your mind someday, remember to contact me,” Ishihara Akira replied to Kimura Saori.

“Tomorrow is fine too, I won’t mind going back in one more day anyway,” Ishihara Akira said to Kurihara Megumi.

"Then let's go to a certain place in Kitazawa. The environment there is more private, and the service is better," Fukuda Ai replied.

"Okay, let's go to [location]. What time? In the afternoon or evening?" Ishihara Akira asked again.

"Let's meet there at three o'clock this afternoon."

"it is good."

The two then ended the call, and Ishihara Akira focused more of his attention on other people.

"No, I have to train with the team and prepare for the championships and the World Table Tennis Championships. Apart from training needs, there's basically no way I can go to Nagoya," Mima Ito replied.

"Well, there's nothing we can do then. We'll just have to find another opportunity to get together, or go on a date together."

"Who, who wants to go on a date with you?"

"Isn't that right? After all, we've done that in the dream world."

"Shut up!"

Are you shy?

I can't be bothered with you.

"Alright then, I'll go find someone else."

"..."

Then Ishihara Akira turned his attention to Shiota Reiko.

"You really don't lie. It's not that I can't agree to make what happened in the dream a reality, but I wasn't the only one with you at the time. You wouldn't be planning to let them go too, would you?" Shiota Reiko casually revealed Ishihara Sho's hidden thoughts, showing her keen insight.

"..."

"Looks like I was right," Reiko Shiota chuckled.

"So, who has agreed to your request now?"

"..."

"Aren't you going to talk? Or is there no one else here?"

"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. Let me tell you my conditions. If you want me to agree to make the dream a reality, it's simple: you have to officially start dating me. Otherwise, just keep it as a dream." Shiota Reiko replied simply and decisively.

"This……"

"Why aren't you saying anything?" At the same time, seeing that Ishihara Shojin was not speaking, Ito Mima sent another message to ask.

"Didn't you say you didn't want to talk to me anymore? In that case, I'll naturally be sensible and leave so as not to disturb our Miss Ito Mima."

"Oh right, didn't you just say you wanted to get together with some people? I happen to have some time now, do you want me to be kind enough to come out and keep you company?"

"Really? Of course! But this isn't your average companionship. I'll be doing a lot of things, like those things that happened in my dreams. Is that alright?"

"..."

"Alright then, let's meet again tomorrow." At this moment, Kurihara Megumi, who had been silent before, seemed to have made up her mind and sent a message.

"Okay. See you tomorrow then," Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

"Okay, tell me the location." After a while, Mima Ito finally sent the message.

“Then let’s go to Hotel X. After all, you’re a celebrity. If we just go shopping and watch movies together like an ordinary couple, it’s easy for the paparazzi of Bunshun Weekly to catch us. You don’t want to wake up one morning to find our news all over the place, do you?” Ishihara Akira replied directly.

“Then we don’t need to start so early in the morning…” Mima Ito said hesitantly.

"Just tell me if you're coming or not," Ishihara Akira said domineeringly.

He has a date with Ai Fukuhara this afternoon, so he doesn't have time to play games with Mima Ito here!

Mima Ito isn't like Ai Fukuhara, a girl whose figure, temperament, fame, or even her looks are all within his aesthetic range. Mima Ito is just the tallest among the short in the current Japanese table tennis team. In terms of appearance alone, she's about on par with Kasumi Ishida. Ishihara doesn't have much interest in her.

"Let's go!" Mima Ito seemed to have been provoked and readily agreed.

"Then I'll wait for you in room 908 of the [Hotel Name]."
