The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

"So, he's been thawed?" Ishihara Akira asked, frowning.

“Yes, the thawing was completed two days ago, and now we should be giving a general knowledge presentation,” Katagiri Ria replied.

"Is Suo Mimi his assistant?"

“Yes.” A hint of resentment flashed in Katagiri Ria’s eyes.

Suoh Mimi was the target she had her eye on, but unfortunately, Suoh Mimi never had any feelings for her, so she didn't act very intimately towards her, only treating her like any other colleague.

But that doesn't mean Katagiri Ria has given up...

This is like a simp licking a goddess. In their eyes, the goddess is always perfect. Even if the goddess has been ruined by someone in a place they don't know about, as long as they don't see it with their own eyes, they can deceive themselves and say that it's all fake... and then continue to go to great lengths to lick her, thinking that they can exchange their sincerity for a miracle.

Unfortunately, the final result is often that they become what is called an 'honest person'.

"What a pity," sighed Ishihara Sho.

"Let's get the information first."

He certainly didn't want the girls from the original story to continue being led astray by Mizuhara Reito.

He especially liked that nurse girl named Ryuzoji Akane.

Oh, and the classmates and teachers of No. 3 Doi Shota seem pretty good too, definitely worth having...

Of course, all of this is on the premise that he can deal with the UW Japan branch before Doi Shota wakes up, so that he will have the opportunity to stop the organization from unfreezing No.3 and turn everything that originally belonged to him in the story into his own.

……

Katagiri Ria is very capable. In just two days, Ishihara Akira successfully obtained general information on all the publicly known staff members of the UW Japan branch from her.

Of course, this also includes information about the actual managers of the UW Japan branch, which he mentioned but has not yet seen.

"I remember that each holder of a number, in addition to the assistant officer in charge of handling various affairs, can also have a nurse to ensure their health and a bodyguard to ensure their safety, right?" Ishihara Akira said to Katagiri Ria, who was standing respectfully to the side, without looking up as he flipped through the women's information in his hand.

"Yes. Has Lord Ishihara found a suitable candidate?" Katagiri Ria nodded in affirmation.

“Well, let this person take on the role of nurse.” With that, Ishihara Akane took out the file of Ryuzoji Akane, which he had paid special attention to in the documents, and handed it to Katagiri Ria.

"Then there are the bodyguards. You know my skills, so the bodyguards don't need to be too overpowered. They just need to look cute and pretty. So, apart from this girl named Yamada Midori, you can arrange the others as you see fit. You can even arrange your favorite girls into my team, that's fine, I approve." Ishihara Akira rummaged through the files and took out Yamada Midori's information, which originally belonged to Mizuhara Reito's team, and handed it to Katagiri Ria.

“I understand, I’ll go and apply to the management committee in a bit,” Katagiri Ria said readily.

"Besides these, is there anything else Lord Ishihara wants to say?"

"I'm saying, if I want to have a relationship beyond friendship with the Chief of Technical Affairs, the Chief of Civil Affairs, and the Chief of General Affairs, and make them my targets like those women who accepted the agreement and are willing to get pregnant, do you have a way to arrange it?" Ishihara Akira thought for a moment and asked his question.

"I'm sorry, Lord Ishihara, although nominally all the female staff at the UW Japan branch are considered to have tacitly agreed to be arranged as potential fertility targets, just as there are some like me who dislike men, not everyone is willing to entrust everything to someone like you, Lord Ishihara." She paused, then continued, "Not to mention the officers who control the entire UW Japan branch's operations. Given my position, I simply cannot arrange for them to cooperate with Lord Ishihara's actions, so..."

“I know. What I mean is, could you find out their usual routines and such, and then take me there when one of the three is alone? As for the rest… you should know how capable I am,” Ishihara Akira chuckled.

“If we only need to monitor the movements of the three adults, it will still be somewhat difficult, but it’s not entirely impossible, especially with the abilities you possess. I will try to find a suitable person to help you achieve your goal,” Katagiri Ria replied after a moment’s thought.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

"This is exactly what I, as your assistant, should do."

After that, Katagiri Ria didn't stay in the room for long. She took the documents and left Ishihara Sho's room to find relevant people to apply for team staff and to find suitable targets to monitor the three chief officers.

……

"Shh."

As the automatic sensor door opened, a woman with deep pink hair, wearing a pale yellow tank top, black leather shorts, and black high-top leather boots, and carrying a bottle of strong liquor, walked into Ishihara Akira's room and met his gaze.

"Is it you, the man who appeared out of nowhere, not in the plan?" The woman, Ryuzoji Akane, walked towards Ishihara Akane with a flirtatious air, taking a swig of wine as she did so, as if she were a model walking a runway.

Chapter 685 Drinking Contest

"Are you today's 'lucky star'? Katagiri really knows men. Come on." Ishihara Sho looked Ryuzoji Akane up and down for a while while she was drinking, then got up and started to untie the towel around her waist.

"You're quite direct." Ryuzoji didn't mince words, observing Ishihara Akane's behavior with interest as if watching an entertaining drama, and said with a chuckle, "Who told you I came here to prepare for pregnancy with you?"

"Isn't that right?" Ishihara Akira remained unmoved, throwing his bathrobe to the ground. "Even if it wasn't, it is now. After all, I'm already aroused, so you can't shirk responsibility."

"If you want me to take responsibility, you'll have to see if you have the ability," Ryuzoji sneered.

"Oh?" Ishihara Sho revealed a provocative look.

Ryuzoji didn't mince words and said directly, "Have someone prepare drinks, the more the better. As long as you can beat me in the drinking game, you can do whatever you want with me. But if you lose... you'll have to figure out how to solve your own problems."

"Want to have a drinking contest? Interesting woman, you've successfully piqued my interest." With that, Ishihara Akira raised his arm and activated the smart bracelet that had been given to him since he joined the UW Japan branch. It was supposed to be for communication, but in Ishihara Akira's eyes, it was more like a tool to track his movements and monitor his whereabouts. He found Katagiri Ria's number and dialed it.

"Lord Ishihara."

"Go find some strong liquor and send it to me, the more the better, and get it done quickly, I need it urgently," Ishihara Akira ordered.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."

Then Katagiri Ria hung up the phone and began preparations.

“While I don’t mind how you look now, we haven’t reached that level of intimacy yet, so I think you should put your bathrobe back on,” Ryuzoji said, glancing at Ishihara Sho’s lower body.

"It's okay, I like it this way. It allows me to unleash my full potential and reminds me to go all out to defeat you. Because I don't want to have to take a cold shower alone after losing. Of course, it also makes it easier for you to take care of me after you win, doesn't it?" Ishihara Akira glanced down, then looked up and smiled.

"Alright, since you don't mind, then I naturally won't mind either." Ryuzoji said, looking completely confident, and took another sip of the vodka he had brought...

They really are a fighting nation.

Although her name suggests she is not from a fighting nation.

……

Shortly after, Katagiri Ria pushed a cart filled with various expensive foreign wines into Ishihara Akira's room.

"Miss Ryuzoji, what are you doing here?" Katagiri Ria asked, somewhat surprised, as she looked at the third person standing in the room.

Although she had applied to her superiors to have Ryuzoji Akane become Ishihara Sho's health manager, the specific decision from above had not yet been conveyed to her. In other words, Ryuzoji Akane shouldn't be here in the first place.

Even if she did appear, she should be the one leading the way. But Ryuzoji bypassed her as the assistant manager and went directly to Ishihara Akira's side. What is he trying to do?

Even if Ryuzoji Akane's identity is somewhat special, it doesn't mean she has to be so willful.

"Didn't you apply to the higher-ups to make me Mr. Ishihara's health administrator? And they approved it. I happen to have nothing else to do, so I thought I'd come and meet the person I'll be responsible for in the future. That doesn't seem like a problem, does it?" Ryuzoji Akane explained nonchalantly.

"They approved it? Why haven't I received a reply?" Katagiri Ria frowned.

"I guess the formalities haven't been completed yet," Ryuzoji said nonchalantly.

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, the communication bracelet on Katagiri Ria's wrist suddenly chimed with a message coming in.

Seeing this, Katagiri Ria stopped bothering Ryuzoji Akane, opened her bracelet, and looked at the newly arrived message—

It was none other than a notification from the General Affairs Department approving Ryuzoji Akane and Yamada Midori as Health Management and Safety Assurance Specialists for Ishihara Sho!

It was quite a coincidence that it came.

"It seems my appointment has been announced." Ryuzoji Akane chuckled, having roughly understood the situation after seeing the change in Katagiri Ria's expression.

"I hope this kind of surprise attack only happens once, otherwise I'll have to ask my superiors to find a more obedient nurse." Katagiri Ria lowered her arm and looked at Ryuzoji to the side expressionlessly.

"Probably not," Ryuzoji replied somewhat ambiguously.

Katagiri Ria didn't say anything more and pushed the cart full of wine next to Ishihara Akira.

"Lord Ishihara."

"The wine is here. It's not too late to back out now, otherwise, hehe..." Seeing that Katagiri Ria had finished her authoritative declaration, Ishihara Akane also stood up, picked up a bottle of foreign wine of unknown brand, and looked at Ryuzoji Akane next to him with a wicked smile.

"I don't have many good points, but I do have a few—first, I keep my word. Second, I've never been defeated by anyone when it comes to drinking. So, if you want me to become your fertility target like other women, then bring it on."

"Hey, then don't blame me for being impolite."

After saying that, Ishihara Akira uncorked the bottle in his hand.

But that wasn't all. He then picked up another bottle that looked similar, opened the cork, grabbed both bottles, walked up to Ryuzoji, and handed one of them over.

“Drinking from a cup is too much trouble, let’s just drink from the bottle,” Ishihara Akira said with a hint of provocation.

"Ishihara-sama, have you made up your mind?" Ryuzoji looked at him with some surprise and asked to confirm.

“Of course.” With that, Ishihara Akira raised the bottle and shoved it into his mouth.

Seeing this, Ryuzoji's eyes flashed with surprise, then an expression of interest appeared. Ignoring Katagiri Ria's somewhat unpleasant expression, he followed suit and raised the bottle to drink.

It's the kind of thing where they won't let go until they're completely exhausted, and they keep pouring it in.

It didn't look like drinking alcohol at all, and it wasn't a strong liquor with an alcohol content of 40, 50, or even 60 degrees. Instead, it looked like some kind of mineral water.

Katagiri Ria, who was standing to the side, seemed to want to say something but ultimately didn't voice her thoughts.

……

The two drank bottle after bottle until they had downed two-thirds of the wine on the shelf. Finally, Ryuzoji Akane showed signs of exhaustion, abruptly putting down the half-empty bottle and running towards the bathroom...

"Compare with me." Even after drinking more than ten bottles, Ishihara Akane remained calm and composed, looking at Ryuzoji Akane's disheveled appearance with a hint of schadenfreude.

It's truly amazing that Ryuzoji Akane could think of comparing drinking capacity with a celestial demon and a human immortal!

Chapter 686 Wishing everyone a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival

There's not much to say about what happened after that. Ryuzoji Akane was a woman of her word, just as she said. And because she got carried away with the alcohol, she readily fulfilled her promise and was taken advantage of by Ishihara Akane in front of Katagiri Ria.

Moreover, whether it was due to being drunk or because Katagiri Ria was present, Ryuzoji Akane's behavior was more proactive and wild, giving Ishihara Akane a taste of a wooden horse life.

Then things got on track, and following Ryuzoji Akane, Yamada Midori also became a member of Ishihara Akane's team...

Although she is very young, looking like a primary school student, making it hard to touch her, she is perfectly fine as a body pillow.

So soon, the whole team became harmonious under Ishihara's management, allowing Ishihara to live the happy life of a true holder of the number.

Until this day...

"An opportunity has arisen," Katagiri Ria reported to Ishihara Akane, who was playing with Ryuzoji Akane and Yamada Midori.

"Oh?" Ishihara Akane paused, standing up between Ryuzoji Akane and Yamada Midori.

"Who is it?" Ishihara Akira asked curiously.

“It’s the Chief of General Affairs,” Katagiri Ria replied.
