The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

Because this means that in the real world, he has something that can replace the Fantasy Master Network, which will make him even stronger. Only a fool would be unhappy about that.

Then Ishihara Yuki got off the bed and went into the bathroom to wash up.

Then he went back to the bedside, sat down next to his friend A, and gently patted her cheek with his hand.

"What are you doing?" Friend A was getting annoyed and impatiently opened his palm and asked.

Ishihara Shou remained silent, continuing to observe Friend A with his head turned to the side. When Friend A, still unresponsive, subconsciously opened his eyes, Ishihara Shou activated his newly acquired ability from the world of A Certain Magical Index, once again controlling Friend A's consciousness in a manner akin to hypnosis. He then instilled the content previously used through the hypnotic technique awakened by his Heavenly Demon ability into Friend A's mind once more—

“You’re tired of the daily grind of drinking with customers, working day and night, and living a life of selling smiles. You want to switch to a more normal job. So, after you get up, you call the club’s madam, tell her you’re quitting, and discuss a new life and a new job with Ishihara Akira, whom you’ll only meet in the evening. You want to change yourself and start a new life.”

Afterwards, Ishihara Akira ended his control over Friend A, leaned down and kissed her on the lips, then got up and left Friend A's house with a smile.

"You're crazy!" Friend A, lying on the bed, muttered under his breath.

Chapter 35 Expansion

After another day of business, Ishihara Akira arrived at his friend A's house.

"Ishihara, I quit my job." Friend A suddenly spoke up as we sat down to watch a variety show on TV.

"Why did you quit your job all of a sudden?" Ishihara Akira asked, feigning confusion.

"I suddenly want to change my lifestyle. Can you help me think of what I should do next?" Friend A shook his head and said.

You can't just say it was a whim, can you?

Although it doesn't affect anything, she still feels a little embarrassed to say it directly.

"What is your educational background?" Ishihara Akira asked in return.

"high school."

"Didn't you attend a junior college?"

“I started working right after graduating from high school and never went to university.”

"That's a bit troublesome..."

Japan is now considered a society that values ​​high levels of education and knowledge. In other words, if you have a university degree, you can live a good life in society and find employment relatively easily. But if you don't have a university degree, you really can only rely on luck.

This explains why Friend A, whose appearance is not bad in Ishihara Akira's opinion, would work in this industry.

"Why would I ask you if it weren't troublesome?" Friend A said with a sneer.

“If you’re not looking for high salaries and a high quality of life, then working part-time or in the service industry would be more suitable for you. If you are, and you have savings, then I recommend attending a junior college or a vocational school in a related field. That way, you’ll be better able to find a job after you graduate,” Ishihara Akira replied after thinking for a moment.

“I still have to go to school… I suddenly regret quitting my job, what should I do?” Friend A’s expression turned sour upon hearing this, and he slumped down on the table with his hands folded over.

"You can't go back, can you? After all, that profession makes money quickly, but there's no guarantee of the future. At most, you can only work until you're thirty. If you can't become a madam or find another job by then, you'll probably be replaced by a newcomer before long. You can't just jump from your current pit to a specialized pit to maintain your high-spending lifestyle, can you?"

The so-called specialized categories are staff members in the 50s, mature, or other specific categories of club operations.

Those are in demand for women over forty.

Even if they work until they die, they can only work until they are sixty years old, and they will not earn as much money as they do now. If they do not seek change, those old people with no one to rely on will probably be their final fate.

“Then why don’t you continue to employ me? That way, I can continue living my current luxurious life without having to worry about the future.” Friend A blinked and asked Ishihara Akira with anticipation.

"What are you dreaming about?" Ishihara Akira rolled his eyes at her, annoyed.

"You can't just let me starve to death on the streets, can you?"

"Don't you have any savings?" Ishihara Sho asked speechlessly.

"They all went into buying cosmetics and high-end luxury goods."

Don't assume that women working in clubs only need to be good-looking; they also need to dress up, especially in high-class places—

For example, only highly educated individuals are qualified for the job in Ginza.

For example, female students enrolled at some well-known national and private universities!

They frequented upscale clubs in Ginza, serving as waitresses at parties for celebrities, politicians, and social elites. They learned while serving, expanded their networks, and prepared for their future careers.

Unfortunately, Friend A is not such a high-quality and outstanding woman in reality.

So we have to pass.

"Then sell your unwanted luxury items at a secondhand store to raise some money, then go to a junior college and find another way out. As for now, just find a relatively easy and safe place to work and make a living," Ishihara Akira suggested, shaking his head.

"Are you really not going to hire me again?" Friend A asked disappointedly.

"I'm out of money," Ishihara Akira said, shrugging.

"How much money do you have left?" Friend A asked in return.

"About 20. After deducting water, electricity, gas and living expenses, we can probably leave around 10."

“Then cancel your rented apartment and move in with me. You’re living here more often than you are now anyway, so leaving the apartment empty is a waste of money. Give me all your money, and I’ll take care of your meals,” Friend A said through gritted teeth after thinking for a moment.

The cost suddenly dropped from 45 yuan a month to 20 yuan, and she felt like she had lost out.

But she accepted it for the sake of making a living.

"Are you sure?" Ishihara Sho asked in surprise.

“Yes.” Friend A nodded firmly.

“Alright then,” Ishihara Akira said happily.

Getting a base for free for 20 seemed like a great deal no matter how you looked at it, and he had no reason to refuse.

Besides, the reason why Friend A is in this situation is because of him, so if he can take care of her, he doesn't mind lending her a little help!

"Alright, it's getting late, let's go to sleep," said Ishihara Akira, glancing at the time displayed on the wall clock.

……

Two hours later, the entire room fell into silence and darkness.

As expected, Ishihara Sho entered his dream and saw the dream consciousness of his friend A.

His dream was replaced by another dream. He no longer dreamed of the wealthy suitors he had met yesterday, nor of the sales staff selling various luxury goods he had met on the day they first met. He stayed peacefully in his room, tidying up and washing clothes as usual.

Seeing that the effects were stable, Ishihara Akira didn't hesitate any longer and immediately activated his ability—mental scan—to scan the residents of the entire apartment building.

For example, the gamer next door, and the couple upstairs who are like noise-making machines.

Find the residents who have already fallen asleep, and your mind will rush into their dreams.

Ignoring what they were going through, I went straight to the person in charge, gave them a look—the hypnosis took effect, and controlled their puppet-like dream consciousness to pass through the white circular portal and enter my dream.

Then the intense dream turmoil began to take effect, and Ishihara Sho's mind became increasingly clear and sharp.

"At this rate of development, I believe it won't be long before my abilities reach LV2 or LV3, and then I can incorporate the residents in this area into my dream network..."

Thinking about this, Ishihara Akira couldn't help but feel excited.

"To become a god and an ancestor, this very day will come!"

This made Ishihara Shoji feel compelled to contemplate the elements again and embark on a new journey into the world of anime.

Chapter 36 Rapid

Despite his excitement, Ishihara Akira didn't actually embark on a new journey into the world of anime and manga without considering the consequences.

After all, the time and place are both wrong.

Moreover, other preparations were still lacking.

You see, the world he's about to go to is one that requires a long period of infiltration to reap rewards, unlike the world of A Certain Magical Index, where you can quickly achieve results once you find the key.

Therefore, he will not embark on a new journey until he can resolve his hibernation issue in the real world.

Of course, when it comes to ways to maintain health, Ishihara Akira also came up with a rather flimsy solution—

Since he didn't have the technology for hibernation chambers, and even if he did, he couldn't build and put it into use without the necessary funds, companies, and industrial support, the best solution Ishihara could think of was to hire a nurse to give him glucose solutions to replenish his sugar and water during his hibernation.

As for where this nurse came from...

First, check if there are any such people among the surrounding residents. If not, you'll have to try contacting a nearby hospital.

Anyway, he has hypnosis skills. He might not be able to make someone fall in love at first sight, but it wouldn't be a problem for them to take some time to go to his rented apartment to give him an injection or take care of him.

There was no conflict of interest between them, and with hypnosis as a backup, it should be enough to ensure that the unfamiliar nurse would not have any thoughts of murdering him for money because of his coma.

If all else fails, can't we at least temporarily win her over as our girlfriend?

In this way, as long as you don't expose yourself and don't get caught when you're having an affair, you can still guarantee your safety.

So the key now is when the real estate agency he's hired can find an apartment that meets his requirements. That's the key to whether his next plan can proceed.

Immediately, Ishihara Akira calmed down and continued practicing the Guanyin Mantra in the dream world at his usual pace.

Whether it was just his imagination or not, this time, Ishihara Akira felt that the efficiency and effectiveness of his training had become stronger.

Is it because of the expansion of dreams?

……

This continued until the training ended, at which point Ishihara Akira in the real world opened his eyes.

"Ok?"

He was stunned.

Because under normal circumstances, it should be completely bright outside by this time. In other words, when he finishes his meditation, it is basically time for him to get up, leave his friend A's house, go back to the temple for lunch, and start working.

But now?

Although the sky was faintly visible in the early morning light, it was only because of the long days in summer that the morning scenery was visible; it was not yet time for him to get up!

He even checked his phone and realized it was only halfway through the day; he could still sleep for several more hours before getting up...

"Time difference? Is it already starting to occur?"

Doesn't that mean that as his dream world continues to expand, the time ratio between the dream world and the real world will continue to increase until it's about the same as, or even exceeds, the real dimensional world?

"Hiss... A dream of a thousand years, is this it?" Thinking of this, Ishihara Akira couldn't help but gasp again.
