The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

Chapter 592 Finding People

Heavenly Demon, Reborn as a Monk in Japan

"Now you know what to do, right?" Ishihara Akira said again after Kiyama Haruo had calmed down a bit.

"Understood." Kiyama Harumi gripped the ability user crystal tightly in his hand and nodded affirmatively.

Her memories have already clearly explained the future; if she still doesn't know how to handle it, then she wouldn't be Kiyama Harumi.

“But before that, I have a suggestion.” Ishihara Akira crossed his legs and smiled at Kiyama Harumi across from him.

"What?" Kiyama Harumi looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Go take a shower first and clean yourself up. After all, not everyone can accept your unkempt appearance," Ishihara Akira said with a slight twitch of his lips.

Kiyama Haruo remained silent, and a rare blush appeared on his face, which was devoid of makeup.

Clearly, they also know shame.

"I understand," Kiyama Harumi said in a low voice.

"Alright, then go and prepare, and then I'll go with you to see the Underworld Soul Chaser."

Kiyama Haruo nodded, then led Ishihara Akira back to his office. After giving her a brief explanation, Kiyama Haruo left the office again and went to the research institute's washroom to begin the overall cleaning work...

……

Not long after, Kiyama Harumi returned, still dressed in a white shirt, a black and gray short skirt, black stockings, a researcher's jacket, and black low-heeled leather shoes.

Although he still looked exhausted, as if he had been up for several sleepless nights, at least he no longer had that slovenly air about him.

The clothes and everything else have become much cleaner...

Clearly, they had changed into new, clean clothes.

As for why it looks like it hasn't been changed at all—

Perhaps Kiyama Harumi is the type of person who, for convenience, likes to buy seven or eight different outfits of the same style and wear them every day? So it might seem like there's no change in her attire, but she's actually really trying her best...

The two then left the research institute, got into Kiyama Haruo's car, and sped towards the university-affiliated hospital where Mingtu Zhuihun worked.

They then found the office of the Underworld Soul Chaser by asking around. They found the Underworld Soul Chaser, who was not performing any surgeries or having any patients to diagnose at the time, and explained their purpose directly.

"So, what do you want me to do?" After listening to Kiyama Harumi's story, the Underworld Soul Chaser asked with a slight frown.

"We hope you can use your resources to help Dr. Kiyama gather her students together and protect them, and provide any medical services you can to help Dr. Kiyama revive them," Ishihara Akira replied on behalf of Kiyama Haruo.

"That's not difficult. But I don't understand why you came to me and think I'm capable of doing what you're talking about?" Mingtu Zhuihun was still the same as always, willing to lend a helping hand to patients, so he readily agreed to Kiyama Harumi's request and then asked the question that had been bothering him.

He's not a celebrity, at least not among the general public. Within Academy City, he's only well-known in high-level circles. Ordinary people, unless they are his patients, wouldn't know he exists. So, logically speaking, since the two sides have never crossed paths, Kiyama Harumi shouldn't know him.

But now, not only does Kiyama Harumi know of his existence and understand the power he possesses, but he has also come directly to him.

Therefore, the Soul Chaser of the Underworld couldn't help but think twice—

For example, is this a trap, or is it that a high-ranking person wants to use me to muddy the waters so that they can take advantage of the situation?

Kiyama Harumi didn't speak, but turned his gaze to Ishihara Sho.

Seeing this, the Soul Chaser of the Underworld's eyes flashed, and he looked at Ishihara Sho.

"Well, you can just assume I have special intelligence channels," Ishihara Akira replied calmly.

"Special intelligence channels?" Underworld Soul Chaser expressed doubt.

Ishihara Akira returned the smile, but his eyes began to glancing in a certain direction, intentionally or unintentionally.

Time and again, this only drew the attention of the Underworld Soul Chaser—

Even though that direction had no windows and was just a wall, the Netherworld Soul Chaser's color changed slightly after a short while, and its expression became thoughtful.

—Because the direction Ishihara was pointing to only had one thing in mind, and that was the windowless building where Aleister was!

Therefore, the Soul Chaser of the Underworld was instantly misled by Ishihara Sho, thinking that Ishihara Sho and Aleister had some connection, which is why he knew about his existence and the power he could use, and thus sent Kiyama Harumi to find him.

"Give me three days." Seeing this, the Underworld Soul Chaser stopped asking questions and directly gave his promise.

"Then I'll have to trouble Doctor Netherworld Soul Chaser," Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

Kiyama Haruo also expressed his gratitude, and after a while, he left the hospital with Ishihara Akira and returned to the car.

"Don't worry. Since he said three days, he'll definitely have everything arranged by then. Let's just wait patiently for the next three days." Sitting in the passenger seat, Ishihara Akira placed his hand on Kiyama Harumi's thigh and comforted him.

“Although I am very grateful for your help, memories are just memories. I am not ready to accept you into my life so easily, so…” Kiyama Harumi said slowly, looking at the hand that had landed on his lap.

"Oh, that's a real shame. So, when we get back, could you please use your network of researchers to find me a few people?" Ishihara Akira sighed in disappointment, withdrew his hand, sat up straight, and fastened his seatbelt as he spoke to Kiyama Haruo.

"Ok."

Kiyama Haruo then started the car and drove Ishihara Sho back to the AIM Propagation Position Research Institute.

……

"Who are you looking for?" asked Kiyama Haruo, feeling much more at ease back in his office.

"First, there's a female researcher named Yoshikawa Kikyo, then there are Kusakabe Yumi and Amami Eika, followed by a girl named Sakurai Jun. And if it's convenient, please also find me a girl named Fubuki Toshinobu. That's all for now," Ishihara Akira said to Kiyama Haruo, recalling his memories.

“Sure, I’ll get their information for you as soon as possible, but I can’t guarantee the exact time,” Kiyama Haruo replied.

"It's alright, I can wait patiently," Ishihara Akira said nonchalantly.

He then stood up, his expression quite serious, and reminded them, "Finally, now that there's been some progress in the students' treatment, let's give up on that Imagine Mage. After all, you don't want to wake up and find yourself unable to even see the students because of Imagine Mage, do you?"

Kiyama Harumi remained silent, but he didn't seem to wonder why Ishihara Sho knew about the Gensou Mikoto.

After all, this matter was mentioned in the so-called timeline of memories.

"You can think about it yourself. I'm leaving now." With that, Ishihara Akira turned around and walked towards the door.

After taking only a couple of steps, it vanished abruptly into thin air, like a scene from a frequency-hopping video...

Chapter 593 Missionary Work

Heavenly Demon, Reborn as a Monk in Japan

Thanks to the combined efforts of Theristina and Harumi Kiyama, it didn't even take three days; in just one day, Akira Ishihara obtained the specific information about Kikyo Yoshikawa, Yumi Kusakabe, Eika Amami, and Toshinobu Fubuki.

It has to be said, the Kihara family's power is truly formidable.

So Ishihara Sho didn't stand on ceremony and immediately went to Yoshikawa Kikyo.

"You are..." Fang Chuan Jie Kyo, dressed in a research coat and looking like a homebody, looked at Ishihara Akira, who was knocking on her door, with a puzzled expression.

"Beautiful lady, are you religious or not? You'll be blessed." Before coming, Ishihara Sho had already used his ability to disguise himself, so that others would think he was wearing a black priest's robe. He was holding a book without a name and smiling as he spoke to Yoshikawa Kikyo.

"Missionaries?" Kikyo Yoshikawa exclaimed in surprise.

Where is this? It's Academy City! A holy land of science! The forefront of world technology! Although there are no announcements banning religion or prohibiting people from practicing other religions, and even churches have been built within Academy City, it is ultimately a paradise for researchers and a holy land for materialists. Therefore, there are hardly any missionaries or priests in Academy City...

Kikyo Yoshikawa has never seen a single one since entering Academy City.

It was quite surprising, even unbelievable, that a missionary would suddenly appear in front of him.

"I'm sorry, I'm very satisfied with my life now, and there's nothing that I need to trouble the gods with, so..." Kikyo Yoshikawa shrugged and was about to close her door.

Ishihara Akira wasn't about to give up so easily, so he quickly stretched out his arm and wedged it between the door and the door frame.

"You're in luck! It can make you younger, more beautiful, and give you firmer, more impressive breasts!" Ishihara Akira quickly said.

"Huh? There's such a benefit?" Yoshikawa Kikyo, who was already dissatisfied with the change in her figure, especially with the amount of relief food she had stored, stopped closing the door upon hearing this and looked at Ishihara Sho with a gleam in her eyes.

“Of course, we can even verify the effects first before incorporating religion,” Ishihara Akira affirmed.

"Oh?" Kikyo Yoshikawa's face showed interest.

How do I verify this?

“I can first change your physique and enrich your material reserves according to your requirements. Once you are satisfied, we can then discuss the issue of joining the cult,” Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

"From what you're saying, the effects can be seen immediately?" Kikyo Yoshikawa pressed.

“Of course,” Ishihara Akira nodded affirmatively.

"Then come in." Kikyo Yoshikawa let Sho Ishihara into the research institute.

At this point, before the special incident of "The Last Order" had occurred, before the upper echelons were dissatisfied and the research institute was dissolved, Kikyo Yoshikawa was not a free agent, but a staff member of the "The Last Order" research institute.

Kikyo Yoshikawa only dared to let people in because the research institute had few people and they had relatively free movement; otherwise…

Kikyo Yoshikawa isn't brainless.

"How do we do it?" Kikyo Yoshikawa asked as she sat down in a room that resembled a reception room, leading Ishihara Sho to it.

“You need to take off your clothes first,” Ishihara Akira said.

"Take off your clothes?" Kikyo Yoshikawa frowned.

“Yes, the transformation requires my hands to directly touch your body, similar to a spa massage after a bath. Only in this way can I apply my divine power to you and transform your body,” Ishihara Akira explained.

"If that's the case, then this place isn't suitable."

After all, this is the research institute's reception room, not your own home where you can do whatever you want.

"That's alright, I can leave you my contact information first, and then I'll come over and help you with the conversion after you get off work, is that okay?" Ishihara Akira said quickly, like a true missionary, not letting go of any possible opportunity to recruit people.

"alright."

Afterwards, Ishihara Shou gave Yoshikawa Kikyo his contact information in Academy City, and with Kikyo seeing him off, he left the research institute where he was working on his final project...

Then there are Kusaka Miyu and Amami Eika, but the research institutes where these two work are more special—the cloning research institute for the Sister Project. Compared to the seemingly ordinary research institutes like the Last Works, which actually hide secrets, they place a greater emphasis on security.

It is protected by a hidden area.

So, the only time you can see them, besides when they get off work and go home, is after the Misaka Sisters incident is over.

So after considering it for a while, Ishihara Akira turned and headed towards Nagatoshi University, where Fubuki Toshinobu was studying.

……

"We don't seem to know each other. Why do you want to see me?" Although she was wearing a school uniform and had a young face, her eyes were extremely terrifying. Coupled with her unique low-pressure demeanor, she looked like a female lead in a horror movie and said to Ishihara Sho in a low voice.

The two were currently in a coffee shop outside the Changdian Computer Academy. The surroundings were relatively quiet, so there was no need to worry about their conversation being disturbed.
