The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Chizuru Kagura, Mai Shiranui hung up the phone and returned to the house.

"Chizuru said she has time to meet you tomorrow afternoon. The location is..." Mai Shiranui knelt down next to Ishihara Akira, gently placed his head back on her lap, and continued massaging his scalp as she introduced the meeting.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your help."

"Why are you being so polite with me?" After a pause, Mai Shiranui continued, "By the way, do you want me to come with you tomorrow?"

"Forget it. After all, her family's affairs are quite private. Although your Shiranui lineage ancestors may have been involved in that matter, let me test her attitude first. If she doesn't mind, I'll take you to meet her later."

"OK then."

……

The following day, Ishihara Akira, dressed in a new outfit bought for him by Mai Shiranui, left the dojo and took a taxi he had called in advance, heading towards the meeting place he had arranged with Kagura Chizuru.

Forty minutes later, Ishihara Akira arrived in front of a coffee shop.

Entering the door—

Welcome!

Ishihara Akira waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need service, and then stood at the door, scanning the coffee shop. Finally, in a corner by the window, he saw a cool and beautiful woman dressed in black stretch pants but wearing a black motorcycle jacket on top, who was his target—Kagura Chizuru.

Without eating, he set off and walked towards the other person.

"Hello, I am Mai Shiranui's husband, Ishihara Akira." Ishihara Akira extended his hand and smiled at Chizuru Kagura, who looked up at him upon noticing his arrival.

"Hello, I'm Chizuru Kagura." Chizuru Kagura stood up, shook hands with Akira Ishihara, and then invited Akira Ishihara to sit down in a chair.

Then the waiter came up and asked what you would like to drink.

Ishihara Akira ordered a drink and sat down, scrutinizing Kagura Chizuru in front of him—

Overall, she looks almost exactly like her character in the game, though not exactly the same. However, in real life, she has a more aloof and mysterious aura, giving off a "keep away" vibe when you get close to her.

She doesn't look very old, probably around twenty-two or twenty-three or twenty-four, but whether it's because she worries too much or for some other reason, she seems more mature than her actual age.

It's easy to see from her current attire that Chizuru Kagura is a woman with a rather 'wild' heart. She doesn't like to follow the rules, but she also values ​​responsibility. Otherwise, she wouldn't be dressed like this, half biker girl and half traditional woman.

"I heard from Mai that you have some things to discuss with me regarding my family's mission. What are you referring to?" Kagura Chizuru, who was not used to Ishihara Akira's scrutinizing gaze, took a sip of her coffee and asked.

“Orochi, the Eight Heroes Gathered.” Ishihara Akira smiled.

"How do you know all this?" Kagura Chizuru stared at Ishihara Sho with eyes that instantly turned as sharp as a knife and questioned him.

But before Ishihara Akira could answer, the atmosphere between them was broken by the waiter who came to deliver drinks.

"Please enjoy your drink."

"Thank you."

"I know a lot of things. For example, earlier this year, Goenitz killed your sister to use the blood of your Yata family to loosen the seal. And the reason you took the initiative to organize the King of Fighters tournament was to use it to attract Goenitz's attention, and then use the power of the many fighters participating in the tournament to help you eliminate Goenitz and thwart his plan to break the seal and completely release Orochi. Am I right?" Ishihara Akira took a sip of the cold drink that had just been delivered and asked with a smile.

"Who exactly are you?" Kagura Chizuru asked in a deep voice, like a mother leopard poised to pounce.

"Mai Shiranui's husband, Ishihara Akira. Of course, I'm sure that's not the identity you want to hear, so let me reveal a little more to you—besides being Mai Shiranui's husband, I am also a sage, not the kind of sage like Chin Gentsai who lives a long life and lives in seclusion like a hermit, but a true sage, the kind mentioned in myths and legends. I wonder if this answer satisfies you?"

"How can you prove that what you're saying is true?" Chizuru Kagura questioned.

“I can resurrect your sister,” Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

"What did you say?!" Kagura Chizuru stood up from her chair in shock. Her sudden movement and loud noise drew the attention of other people in the café.

“It means exactly what it says: I can resurrect your sister,” Ishihara Akira replied.

"If you are truly an immortal, then what do you want from a mortal like me?" Kagura Chizuru stared at Ishihara Sho for a long while until the cafe waiter reminded her. Only then did she slowly sit down again and look directly into Ishihara Sho's eyes to ask.

"You should understand from the fact that I was able to marry Mai Shiranui that although I am a sage, I am not pure of heart and still have worldly desires. Therefore, I still have aspirations for human emotions and desires. So, my purpose in coming to see you is very simple: I want you to become my woman, to serve me when I play in the world." Ishihara Akira smiled and said, "And the reward is that I will help you revive your sister and resolve this crisis of Orochi breaking the seal. What do you say?"

"I need proof." Kagura Chizuru's expression shifted for a while before she finally replied with a serious face.

"Okay, take me somewhere where there's no one around."

Chapter 660 Kagura and Manki

A moment later, Chizuru Kagura led Akira Ishihara to a well-known five-star hotel and checked into the luxurious presidential suite...

"What else do you want?" Kagura Chizuru asked Ishihara Sho.

"Take off your clothes," Ishihara Akira said, looking Kagura Chizuru up and down for a while.

"Reason?" Kagura Chizuru frowned, her expression somewhat displeased as she asked.

“I need to reshape the body of your sister Kagura Maki, and I need a model. Coincidentally, you and your sister Maki are twins. Although there may be some differences in physical details, you two are very similar overall. So, to avoid any mistakes in the shaping process, I need to use your body as the model,” Ishihara Akira explained with a smile.

Kagura Chizuru remained silent for a moment, then, after gazing intently at Ishihara Akira for a while, she finally took off her coat...

"Is this alright?" asked Chizuru Kagura, who was only wearing her underwear.

“It would be best if none of these things were included.” Before Kagura Chizuru could speak, Ishihara Akira continued, “After all, I don’t know your sister, I don’t know what her private parts are like, I can’t just create something based on my imagination, can I? I don’t mind, but what about your sister? Are you sure she can get used to a different body?”

Chizuru Kagura fell silent again, and after a long while, she reluctantly untied the last restraint.

"Alright, now you can go lie down over there." Ishihara Akira nodded in satisfaction.

Chizuru Kagura didn't want to say anything more, so she went straight to the bed in the bedroom and lay down.

Then, Ishihara Akira walked to her side, grabbed her arm, and then slashed her wrist, leaving a deep gash. The muscle was torn apart, and bright red blood gushed out like water from a depressurized faucet.

Ishihara used magic to bind Kagura Chizuru's blood until it gathered into a ball the size of a baseball, then used medical ninjutsu to heal the wound on Kagura Chizuru's wrist.

Then, reaching out to grab her chest, a mirror made entirely of energy but appearing to be crafted from real gold and silver floated out from Kagura Chizuru's chest as her expression shifted. It drifted to Ishihara Akira's face, and then Akira again grabbed at the mirror of the sacred artifact, Yata no Kagami. A female soul, identical to Kagura Chizuru but with a gentler demeanor, was pulled from the shimmering mirror—

"elder sister!"

Before giving Kagura Manki a chance to speak, Ishihara Akira decisively grabbed Kagura Manki in his hand and activated the Dual-Hand Technique. On one hand, he used the Taoist principle of Yin and Yang, which emphasizes the balance of life and death, to create Kagura Manki's own flesh and blood tissue through the principle of Yin giving rise to Yang. On the other hand, he poured the blood he had just extracted from Kagura Chizuru's body into the Qi ball of Kagura Manki, which was growing flesh and blood, to accelerate the birth of Kagura Manki's flesh and blood by using the method of mutual attraction of Qi.

Then, the Yata Mirror seemed to sense the condition of its former master. A flash of blue light appeared on its surface, and it released the power of a divine artifact, joining in the process of shaping Kagura Manki's flesh and blood.

Immediately, Ishihara Sho's energy consumption decreased significantly, but Kagura Manki's flesh and blood regeneration speed increased considerably...

Then, under the expectant gaze of Chizuru Kagura, a brand new Kagura Maki, seemingly a clone of herself, appeared out of thin air in the room and stood steadily on the floor of the presidential suite.

Then, Ishihara Sho patted Kagura Manki on the forehead, and Kagura Manki officially woke up.

"Sister, is that you?" Kagura Chizuru stood up and called out with a mixture of excitement and hesitation.

"Chizuru?" Kagura Maki looked at Kagura Chizuru, then at the surroundings, and finally hesitated before returning his gaze to Kagura Chizuru.

"It's me, sister, I missed you so much!" Hearing Kagura Manki's call, Kagura Chizuru could no longer contain her emotions. She stepped forward, hugged Kagura Manki tightly, and buried her face in her shoulder, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Alright, alright, you're not a child anymore. Don't cry like you did when you were little." Kagura Manki gently stroked Kagura Chizuru's back and said tenderly.

……

"I remember being killed by Goenitz of the Orochi clan, didn't I? What's going on now? And what's wrong with you two? Tell me all about it." After a while, once Kagura Chizuru had calmed down and finally noticed everything in the room, Kagura Maki sat on the bed, covering herself with a pillow, and questioned the still candid Kagura Chizuru and the smiling Ishihara Sho.

“This…” Kagura Chizuru glanced at Ishihara Sho beside her, her expression becoming hesitant.

As for the Yata Mirror, it had already been controlled by Kagura Manki and sent back into Kagura Chizuru's body. Therefore, it was no longer left outside and was ignored like an ordinary object.

"Let me speak," said Ishihara Akira, stepping forward to take over the conversation.

“Your memory is correct. You were indeed killed by Goenitz of the Orochi clan half a year ago. Even your body, if it hadn’t undergone special preservation treatment, would be almost completely rotten by now. So the reason you are able to come back to life is entirely because your sister, Chizuru, begged me to help revive you at the cost of her own body,” Ishihara Akira explained with a smile.

"And her current state is not only to make it easier for me to reference when shaping your body, but also to fulfill her promise after your resurrection and repay me with her own body."

"Now you understand the situation, right?"

"Chizuru, you..." Kagura Maki exclaimed in astonishment and heartache.

"For my sister, Chizuru is willing." After a pause, Kagura Chizuru added, "Besides, the original mission of our Kagura clan is to worship the gods. Although Ishihara is not the god we believe in, he is essentially no different from a god, so it is not something that is unacceptable for him to possess us."

"Not to mention, Ishihara also promised me that he would help me resolve this Orochi unsealing incident."

"Gods? What do you mean by that?" Kagura Manki asked, her voice filled with doubt and wariness.

We shouldn't let some random guy take advantage of the situation before we've even dealt with the Orochi clan.

"What kind of person do you think is capable of calling back a person who has been dead for half a year from the underworld, and giving their soul a new body and life without a corpse?" Ishihara Akira asked with interest.

"Even if what you're saying is true, why would you do it?" Kagura Manki pressed.

"Because I am not pure of the six senses and my worldly desires are not yet extinguished, I still have a pursuit of women. Kagura Chizuru's identity, appearance, and figure just happen to meet my requirements. So, through a transaction, I paid a small price that is insignificant to me to obtain her personal ownership. Is there a problem with that?"

Chapter 661 New Proposal

"Then let Chizuru leave. I'll stay and keep you company," Kagura Manki said after a moment of silence.

"Oh?"

"elder sister!?"

Ishihara Akira and Kagura Chizuru both looked at her with surprise.

"After all, the reason you agreed to save me was to do so for Mr. Ishihara. Now that I have been resurrected, there is no reason for me to ask you to do anything for me again." Kagura Maki threw aside the pillow she had been holding and openly revealed her figure.

“That’s true, but you seem to have misunderstood one thing. The reason you were able to be resurrected is because of Kagura Chizuru’s sacrifice. In other words, her sacrifice came first, and then your resurrection. You want to replace her, no problem, but that will have to wait until I’ve enjoyed Chizuru first.” After a pause, Ishihara Akira slowly reminded him, “Furthermore, I created your body, and now you want to use something I created as a price to repay me. Don’t you think your idea is a bit too presumptuous?”

"Then what would it take for you to give up your feelings for Chizuru?" Kagura Maki asked again after a moment of silence.

"Just give up. I won't give up on getting Chizuru." With that, Ishihara Akira put his arm around Kagura Chizuru's shoulder and pulled her into his arms.

Chizuru Kagura's expression changed, but when she thought of the previous deal, she didn't resist and just let Sho Ishihara hug her without any expression.

Then, Ishihara Akira extended his An Lushan-like claw and seized Kagura Chizuru's treasure.

"Not just Chizuru, but we're not going to let either Manki go. After all, twin shrine maidens as outstanding and beautiful as you two are rare in reality," Ishihara Akira chuckled.

"Please spare my sister." This time, it was Kagura Chizuru's turn to plead.

"If you and your sister are willing to stay with me, then I will make the decision to help you completely resolve your family's mission, completely seal the Orochi clan and Orochi, so that your family's descendants can enjoy their lives like ordinary people, without ever encountering any unexpected dangers again. What do you think of this deal?" Ishihara Akira suggested, while teasing Kagura Chizuru, who exuded a sacred aura, and looking at Kagura Manki, who seemed to hate family responsibilities the most according to the information.

"How can you guarantee that?" Kagura Manki asked in return.

"During this King of Fighters tournament, Goenitz will be present and create an energy surge by inciting the fighters to fight, breaking Orochi's seal. I will personally take you two into the sealed space to witness how I subdue and suppress Orochi. That should be enough to prove that what I said is true," Ishihara Akira replied.

"Then let's talk about it after you've done it," Kagura Manki said, standing up.

"Chizuru, let me put your clothes on first."
