The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

"Ah!" Saten Ruiko exclaimed in surprise, and quickly squatted down, pressing the front of her skirt.

"Your reaction is a bit off." Ishihara Akira turned around with a smile and walked up to Saten Ruiko, saying with a grin.

"Mr. Ishihara, how could you do this?" Saten Ruiko said, her face flushed and aggrieved.

"Why not?" Ishihara Akira asked, feigning curiosity. "Don't you often use this method to greet your good friend, that girl named Uiharu Kazari, and say it's proof of your close relationship? Why can't it be the same for me?"

"Well, that's because both Haru and I are girls, and Mr. Ishihara, you're a man." After her initial panic subsided, Saten Ruiko stood up, blushing, and said awkwardly.

"Can't men do it?" Ishihara Akira pressed.

"Of course not! Have you ever seen a man do that to a girl?" Saten Ruiko demanded loudly.

"There are many examples. For instance, I once met a couple who often did this kind of thing at home," Ishihara Akira said, making things up.

Even couples would never do something like this unless they were bored and wanted to add some fun to their relationship.

No one but a psychopath would do such a thing.

“You said it yourself, they are a couple, and they do it in private,” Saten Ruiko emphasized.

"So that means I can treat you like this in private?" Ishihara Akira asked with a smile.

“Not even in private!” Saten Ruiko emphasized.

"Well, how about you become my girlfriend, Ruiko? That way I should be able to do this kind of thing to you, right?" Ishihara Sho probed further.

"Girlfriend or something... Oh right, I didn't invite you here to talk about that kind of thing." Saten Ruiko was shy for a while before suddenly remembering why she had invited Ishihara Akira out, and quickly corrected herself and said seriously.

"Oh?" Ishihara Sho seemed quite interested in this.

"I originally wanted to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude, but now there are some other things to do..." As she spoke, Saten Ruiko recounted what she had done at school that morning.

"Will there be any problem with what I'm doing?" Saten Ruiko waited anxiously for Ishihara Sho's answer.

“Of course there won’t be any problem.” Ishihara Akira laughed. “You know, the existence of religion is precisely for the purpose of facilitating the spread of information. So, it’s not only not wrong for you to pass on the knowledge I gave you to others, but it’s also a very beneficial and correct thing to do for the Illuminati. I think even if God knew, he would reward you. However, correspondingly, there are some problems with the knowledge you’re passing on.”

"Is there a problem? What's the problem?" Saten Ruiko quickly asked.

After all, this concerns whether her friends can gain the ability, so she has no choice but to ask for clarification.

“Prayer is just a formality. The key is to establish a connection with the gods. How can you send your message to the gods and let them know you exist? Think about it carefully. This should be part of the knowledge I’ve given you,” Ishihara Akira reminded him with a smile.

Without hesitation, Saten Ruiko tilted her head and began to ponder.

"Visualization?" Saten Ruiko asked uncertainly.

“Yes, that’s visualization. So if your classmates want to receive feedback and awaken their abilities as smoothly as you do, you need to find a way to draw the picture in your mind, let your friends see it, and remember it.” Ishihara Akira explained, “Only in this way can their prayers truly take effect and receive divine favor.”

"Isn't there any other way?" Saten Ruiko frowned, not believing that her drawing skills were good enough to bring the image in her mind to life.

“Let me think… I’ve got it. You can give this to your friends.” Ishihara Sho thought for a moment, then flipped his palm, and several oddly shaped objects, resembling coins or pendants, appeared before Saten Ruiko’s eyes.

"These are..."

Heavenly Demon, Reborn as a Monk in Japan

“You know the cross in Christianity, right? These are similar to crosses. The patterns on them are visualization symbols. With these, along with the prayers you teach your friends, you can greatly strengthen their connection with God and get feedback more quickly. Take these back and distribute them. If you run out, come back for more, or you can find a factory to make a batch yourself.” Ishihara Akira placed the items in Saten Ruiko’s hands.

"Can I make this myself?" Saten Ruiko asked in surprise as she took the item.

Since this thing is so important and magical, it should be under the control of the church. How come it became something that could be made by any factory and replaced by Ishihara Sho?

"The key to this kind of thing is the image on it, not any unique power it has. So whether I send it out myself or you find a factory to mass-produce it, as long as the image is correct, the function is the same. So its existence is just to facilitate prayer and enhance the effect, not to say that it is useless without it!"

Otherwise, why would you add incantations when praying?

Isn't the goal to strengthen the connection with a particular entity?

Just as people in the church must read the Bible, this can be considered a kind of secret incantation!

As a celestial being who rose to power through the practice of esoteric Buddhist techniques, there's no reason for him not to incorporate these elements into the religion he propagates.

"So that's how it is," Saten Ruiko said in realization.

"Alright, now take me to the place you invited me to dinner, and we can also talk about your relationship with your girlfriend." Having settled the missionary issue, which could be considered the main business for now, Ishihara Akira said flirtatiously again.

"Uh, you don't actually intend to make me your girlfriend, do you? I'm still a child!" Saten Ruiko was taken aback, then looked at him with an incredulous and strange gaze to confirm.

"Why not? You know, in ancient times, you would be old enough to get married and become a mother. Even in modern society, many countries allow girls your age to get married and become husband and wife. Why can't I make you my girlfriend?" Ishihara Akira asked with interest.

“You said it yourself, that was in ancient times and other countries. There’s no such rule here in Japan,” Saten Ruiko emphasized.

“But the law also stipulates that women can marry at the age of 16, which is only about two years away from your current age. We can totally establish our relationship first and then consider other issues,” Ishihara Akira retorted with a smile.

“Uh…” Saten Ruiko was speechless, because what Ishihara Sho said was true…

"why me?"

"I suddenly fell for you on a whim, what can I do?" Ishihara Akira said, shrugging.

This time, Saten Ruiko was even more helpless.

Because this kind of thing really depends on what Ishihara Shou says. After all, feelings are a very mysterious thing. It could be because of a long period of time spent together, or because of the other person's appearance, or even just a certain moment's behavior. It's a kind of inexplicable thing, and there's no way to specifically prove whether it's true or false...

"Let's go eat first. I've been starving since noon because of this meal," Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

“It’s not like I made you go hungry,” Saten Ruiko said, rolling her eyes at him.

The two then set off towards the restaurant that Saten Ruiko had chosen—a place that looked like a large chain fast-food restaurant with prices that were relatively affordable for students.

……

"Finally found you!" Just as Ishihara Akira and Saten Ruiko were enjoying their meal, and Saten Ruiko was even starting to be persuaded by Ishihara Akira to agree to date him, Misaka Mikoto, wearing the Tokiwadai Central School uniform, came to their table with a series of hurried footsteps and said loudly in a tone of satisfaction.

"Looking for me? What do you want? Have you thought it through and are you planning to repay me?" Ishihara Sho ignored Saten Ruiko sitting opposite him and spoke to Misaka Mikoto very frankly and straightforwardly.

However, the specific details of the 'repayment' were cleverly omitted, preventing Saten Ruiko from immediately losing her temper.

"Who, who needs to repay you!" Misaka Mikoto, blushing as she realized what Ishihara Akira meant by repayment, shouted loudly, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Mind your image! Don't forget, you're the young lady of Tokiwadai." Ishihara Akira pointed to the customers around her who had turned to look at her because of her voice and reminded them.

Seeing this, Misaka Mikoto realized the problem and stepped forward to grab Ishihara Sho's arm, pulling him outside while saying, "Come out with me for a moment."

Then, the two went outside the fast food restaurant.

Saten Ruiko knew that the two had something to do. Although she was curious, she did not gossip and follow them out. Instead, she continued to sit in the shop and observed Ishihara Akira and Misaka Mikoto outside through the window next to her.

"Speak, what do you want from me?" Ishihara Akira asked leisurely.

"Do you know where they are?" Misaka Mikoto asked bluntly.

"Them? My sisters?" Ishihara Sho asked, confirming.

“Yes.” Misaka Mikoto nodded.

"You don't know?" Ishihara Sho asked rhetorically.

"Although I investigated further after it was over, I only learned that the plan was terminated and the test subjects were transferred. As for anything else, I couldn't find out." Misaka Mikoto shook her head and answered with a somewhat serious expression.

"I see. Then you don't need to worry. The sisters will be transferred. I had someone carry it out. The purpose is simple: to adjust their bodies. After all, the way they were created was rather rough, which seriously affected their health and future lifespan. They need to undergo some proper adjustments before they can return to society. However, in my personal estimation, they won't all be left in Academy City. After all, there are too many of them, more than 11,000. Plus, your own reputation in Academy City is not low. In order to avoid any negative impact, they will definitely be transferred to other parts of the world in batches." Ishihara Akira didn't mince words and explained the arrangements for the sisters from the original work.

"Where are they now?" Misaka Mikoto breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that it was Ishihara Sho who arranged the transfer. She didn't dwell on her sisters' future whereabouts, since keeping them in Academy City was indeed inconvenient. In a sense, she asked the most important question—where are they now?

“At…” Ishihara Shou told him about the hospital where Meito Chasing Souls worked: “Don’t think you can see them just by going there now. You should know that their existence is a secret project of Academy City. The people I asked can’t possibly let them receive treatment in the hospital like ordinary patients. So even if you go there, you won’t be able to see them. If you want to see them, you need me to guide you.”

"Then take me with you!" Misaka Mikoto said readily.

"You saw it yourself, I was on a date," Ishihara Akira said with a shrug and a smile.

"Brother Shen!"

"Ok!"

When Shen Changqing walked down the street, he would greet or nod to people he knew.

But no matter who it is.

Everyone's face was expressionless, as if they were indifferent to everything.

In this regard.

Shen Changqing had already gotten used to it.

This is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization dedicated to maintaining the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main duty is to slay demons and monsters, though it also has other side hustles.

It can be said.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone's hands are stained with blood.

When a person has become accustomed to life and death, they will become indifferent to many things.

When Shen Changqing first arrived in this world, he was a little unaccustomed to it, but he got used to it over time.

The Demon Suppression Bureau is very large.

Those who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are either extremely powerful experts or have the potential to become experts.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter category.

The Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions: Guardian and Demon Exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts as a demon exorcist, the lowest rank.

Then, through gradual promotion, one can eventually become a garrison commander.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon hunter in the Demon Suppression Division, the lowest rank among demon hunters.

It possesses the memories of its predecessor.

He was also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a pavilion.

Unlike the other grim places in the Demon Suppression Division, this pavilion stands out like a crane among chickens, presenting a different kind of tranquility in the blood-soaked Demon Suppression Division.
