Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

Shinto Hall.

Shimizu Suzune's room.

Even though she was drained of blood in the morning, which made her very tired, she was able to sleep soundly and even had a sweet dream today because she had finally gotten rid of a troublesome matter.

In her dream, Shimizu Suzune saw a little girl in a red dress. The little girl squatted by her bedside and told her the location and condition of the Demon King Hanako Sachiko.

The little girl said that the Demon King Hanako Sachiko has moved to the Kanagawa region and should not pose a threat to Tokyo again in the future, because they are very clear that most of their power comes from the fear of the people.

Therefore, the little girl predicted that the Demon King Hanako Sachiko might become a second-rate Demon King, only able to commit crimes on the run, because only in this way could they maintain their demonic power.

Listening to the information provided by the little girl, Shimizu Rin sighed helplessly: "The information is very useful, but unfortunately, this is just a dream..."

Just then, the little girl in red said, "You're not dreaming."

A single sentence jolted her awake. Only then did Shimizu Rinne realize that she really wasn't dreaming; this was the real world, right here in her room in the Shinto Hall.

And the little girl in red squatting by the bed, next to Shimizu Suzune, is none other than the infamous Demon King, Enma Ai, who calls herself the Hell Girl.

Chapter 151 Food Chain

"Enma Ai? How did you get in?" Shimizu Suzune reacted particularly strongly to Enma Ai's intrusion, because her resting place was not just anywhere, but the most important Shinto Hall.

Imagine an organization that claims to protect the real world from ghosts and spirits. If ghosts and spirits can break in at will, where does the public's sense of security come from?

Hanako's attack on Shinto Hall alone has already tarnished Shinto Hall's reputation. If this incident were to spread today, public trust in Shinto Hall would likely reach an all-time low.

However, Enma Ai simply smiled at the shock shown by Shimizu Suzune: "I've already given you the information, so the deal is done."

But as soon as Enma Ai finished speaking, she stood up and ran out of the room.

But this is the Shinto Hall, not a place you can come and go as you please! So, Shimizu Suzune immediately shouted, "Stop!"

But it was no use. Enma Ai left without looking back. Shimizu Suzune hurriedly got out of bed and chased after her, running out of the room in her pajamas.

At that moment, a tall, thin police inspector walked towards them. His name was Fukuda Sōta, and he was one of the three police inspectors who survived Hanako's attack on Shinto Hall.

Seeing Shimizu Rin rush out, Fukuda Sōta quickly stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"

"A girl in red just ran out, did you see her?" Shimizu Suzune asked anxiously.

Sōta Fukuda tilted his head back slightly, looking completely bewildered, and replied, "A girl in red? I've never seen that before."

Shimizu Rinne glanced at Fukuda Sōta's face. After all, he was an ordinary person, not a divine messenger. If the ghost spirit intended to hide its body, he probably wouldn't be able to see the enemy, so asking would be pointless.

"It's alright, you can go about your business." Shimizu Suzune was very dissatisfied with the inspector's reply and simply walked past him.

Wait, he can't see it?

In other words, Enma Ai was able to move in and out of the house as if it were empty because there were no divine messengers awake in the Shinto Hall? Shimizu Suzune pondered this question as she continued walking forward.

After walking a few more steps, we arrived at the Divine Messenger's office, where we found that Fujita Mino and Ishikawa Risa were already working.

"Those two didn't even notice that Enma Ai had barged in..." Shimizu Suzune muttered as she walked into the office.

Once inside, Shimizu Suzune asked directly, "Hey, you two, didn't you notice anything unusual just now?"

It would have been better not to ask them, because they knew nothing. Fujita Mino shook her head and replied, "Abnormal? It doesn't seem so."

Risa Ishikawa, who was in the same office, shook her head in agreement.

Shimizu Suzune was very dissatisfied with their answers. It was precisely because they hadn't noticed anything that Hell Girl Enma Ai was able to enter and leave as if no one was there.

Shimizu Rinne sighed and said, "Just now, Enma Ai barged into my room as if it were her own."

Upon hearing this, Fujita Mino was startled and exclaimed, "Oh my god, this is terrible! Where has Enma Ai run off to now?"

Risa Ishikawa, responding to Mino Fujita's reaction, immediately became alert in the office, feeling as if she were about to become her magical artifact, the Staff of Bondage, at any moment.

Shimizu Suzune turned around, pointed to the office door, and said, "They escaped. They just ran past the office door, and neither of you reacted."

"Is that so?" Fujita Mino tilted her head back slightly. From the other person's words, one could clearly hear the condemnation. Fujita Mino couldn't help but feel apologetic.

Risa Ishikawa reacted by lowering her head slightly and pursing her lips.

Fujita Mino thought for a moment and then asked, "So she's escaped from Shinto Hall now? Should we check the surveillance footage along the street to find that Enma Ai?"

Shimizu Rin shook her head and denied it, saying, "No need. Just now, when Enma Ai escaped outside, even a police inspector walking towards her didn't notice her. She must have used some kind of evil magic. The surveillance was useless."

Fujita Mino gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "That's outrageous! She actually managed to escape! If that girl comes back, I'll break her legs!"

However, despite her harsh words, she didn't seem to be doing anything. Instead, she continued typing on the keyboard, and Ishikawa Risa followed her lead completely.

Shimizu Suzune was very dissatisfied with their reaction. "Are you two just sitting around doing nothing? Your base has been raided, and you're still so calmly working? I really don't know what you're thinking!"

However, Shimizu Suzune did not intend to openly condemn the two of them, because it was possible that Enma Ai's evil magic was too powerful, and they had no choice but to be unable to see Enma Ai's figure.

Actually, from Fujita Mino's perspective, it was quite complicated. She didn't see Enma Ai when she arrived, and even wondered if Shimizu Suzune was hallucinating from sleeping in a daze.

Secondly, if Enma Ai really escaped right under his nose, it means that Enma Ai is so powerful that she is beyond control, and there is no way to hold her accountable.

Given all of the above, it can be said that Fujita Mino's compromise was actually a last resort.

In some ways, Fujita Mino is now more shrewd than Shimizu Suzune, who is now more like a younger sister and has almost lost her leadership qualities.

As a result, the heavy responsibility of leadership fell on Fujita Mino's shoulders, and she had to show a relatively mature side.

Especially now, with her "junior" Risa Ishikawa present, she needs to demonstrate her ability to think independently.

Having not received the answer she wanted, Shimizu Suzune left the office. After watching her leave, Ishikawa Risa approached her.

She asked obediently, "Hey, Fujita, about Enma Ai, aren't we really going to do something about this?"

Fujita Mino tossed her hair aside and asked absentmindedly, "Why don't we put ourselves in their shoes and think about what we could do?"

Risa Ishikawa scratched her head, saying somewhat apologetically, "Oh dear, it seems I really can't do anything..."

“That’s right.” Fujita Mino smiled and said, “Stop slacking off and browse websites like 2ch more often. You need to know more about ghosts and spirits now.”

"Okay," Ishikawa Risa replied reluctantly, then returned to her post.

She doesn't need to work now; what she needs to do now is learn more about ghost-related activities.

Or rather, the essence of her work is to understand ghosts and spirits, and then eliminate them.

……

……

As she watched Risa Ishikawa begin her work, Mino Fujita suddenly remembered something, then put down her work and left the office.

She turned her head and saw Shimizu Suzune strolling leisurely at the entrance of the Shinto Hall, so she followed her.

At this moment, Shimizu Suzune was standing in front of the pillars of the Shinto Hall, watching the social order that was being restored before her eyes.

Shimizu Suzune was very perceptive; she spotted Fujita Mino walking in their direction and greeted her first: "Fujita."

Fujita Mino cut to the chase, saying, "Shimizu-neechan, Ishikawa just suggested we have dinner together tonight. What do you think of that suggestion?"

Shimizu Suzune let out a long sigh and remarked, "A get-together? What an unfamiliar yet heartwarming phrase..."

Regardless of her reaction, Fujita Mino took it as a yes and continued, "However, Ishikawa didn't mention where the dinner would be. She's new here, and I feel like it doesn't matter where we eat. What about you, Shimizu-neechan? Do you have any suggestions?"

Shimizu Suzune replied absentmindedly, "Me? It's all the same."

For her, the dinner party was like a victory celebration. Although Hanako and Sachiko had been dealt with and Enma Ai had reassured her, she just couldn't be happy.

Even if this war is won, it can only be considered a Pyrrhic victory, because the divine messenger team lost a capable member.

It hasn't even been a week since Jun Morita left them, and they're already having a celebration banquet, which feels like turning a funeral into a celebration.

Because of Jun Morita's departure, Suzune Shimizu had to shoulder responsibilities again, so she didn't care much about eating.

Shimizu Suzune was unhappy, but that didn't stop Fujita Mino from grinning and saying, "Okay, then let me pick a good place for the gathering!"

Afterwards, she went back to the Shinto Hall.

Shimizu Suzune stood alone outside the Shinto Hall, welcoming the sunset.

The sunset is infinitely beautiful.

It's almost dusk!

……

……

After Hanako and Sachiko's defeat, they arrived in Kanagawa and entered Yokohama.

Since it was now dusk and the sun's power was waning, Hanako and Sachiko could walk openly on the streets of Kyoto without being affected by the sun's weakened power.

Kyoto had not been affected by the war between gods and demons before, and with a large influx of people from Tokyo, the streets of Kyoto were exceptionally bustling and crowded with people.

However, no matter how many people there are, it doesn't affect Hanako Sachiko's "shopping" here. They don't collide with humans, so even if there's nowhere to put their feet, it won't affect them.

Of course, the current Hanako and Sachiko have changed people's perception of them, so ordinary people can see their existence but will not find it strange; they will only think of them as ordinary human girls.

As Hanako strolled through the streets, she couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "That damned divine messenger, we must make a comeback!"

In contrast, Sachiko was not so vengeful. She had long since put the hatred behind her and began to pay attention to the small commodities sold on the street.

This is a pedestrian street with stalls selling snacks and small commodities everywhere. Sachiko was eventually attracted by a stall selling hair clips.

Hanako was very dissatisfied with Sachiko's behavior and immediately complained, "Sachiko, are you even listening to me?"

However, Sachiko didn't take her words to heart. Instead, she clipped a bow hair clip into Hanako's hair and added, "This suits you very well!"

"Sachiko! Let's get down to business!" Hanako unhappily took off her hair clip, pouted, and looked at Sachiko's face with great dissatisfaction.

Reluctantly, Sachiko returned the bow hair clip to the stall owner and continued walking, saying, "This is the important business!"

Hanako chased after us angrily: "For us, the important thing is to conquer the world and make everyone afraid of us!"

Sachiko turned around with a smile and said, "But didn't we fail? Do you want us to fail again?"

Hanako looked displeased and stared at Sachiko with a reproachful gaze. "Sachiko, why do you look so happy!"

However, Sachiko joked, "Of course I'm happy, because an untimely war has unexpectedly brought us together. Thank you, Almighty God."

Hanako pouted, nudged Sachiko in the back with her shoulder, and said, "Sachiko, my forty-meter-long sword almost got out of control!"

"So..."

As Sachiko spoke, she suddenly picked a rose from a nearby stall and tucked it into Hanako's hair, saying playfully, "Are you willing to give up your prejudices against humans and coexist peacefully with them? Just do me a favor."

Hanako remained silent, and of course, she didn't remove the rose that was tucked into her hair.
