Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

Moreover, divine messengers are all attendants of the supreme god and cannot be involved in matters of men and women. Ishikawa Risa and Ooi Yuomi are both divine messengers of Lord Ara, so they cannot break the law.

To avoid arousing suspicion, Ishikawa Risa strongly opposed the pairing of a man and a woman, leaving Shimizu Suzune with no choice but to accept the three of them together.

Shimizu Suzune and the other two walked down the street to the left, so Fujita Mino chose to walk down the street to the right.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the nights in Yokohama are much quieter than in Tokyo, and the air is filled with a peaceful beauty.

Walking along the beach, feeling the sea breeze, Fujita Mino had never experienced such a wonderful and peaceful feeling.

As for the things at the festival, Fujita Mino wasn't really interested; they were either small commodities or food...

"Gurgle..."

Just as she feared, Fujita Mino's stomach rumbled, causing her to instinctively clutch it.

She turned her head, glancing at the nearby stalls as she muttered, "Anyway, let's find somewhere to eat first!"

After browsing around for a while, Fujita Mino chose a ramen stall called "Sato Ramen," but she didn't have high expectations for the food sold at this kind of mobile stall.

For her, good ramen is simply ramen that can fill her stomach and doesn't pose any hygiene problems.

Indeed, the ramen didn't taste very good. If Fujita Mino hadn't happened to be hungry, the ramen wouldn't have been just average; it would have been unappetizing.

As a young lady of high birth, Fujita Mino ate very slowly. While eating, she used her third eye to scan the crowd around her to see if any ghosts had infiltrated.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be nothing serious.

The crucial point is that she discovered at least ten percent of these people were actually ghosts in disguise, because they were different from ordinary people; they had ghost horns on their heads...

Upon seeing this, Fujita Mino's pupils dilated in shock. "What's going on? Have ghosts invaded the real world on a massive scale...?"

She continued scanning and found that these spirits did not seem to have any ill intentions, because they were not doing petty theft, but were disguising themselves as humans and blending in with the festival.

Fujita Mino nervously swallowed. "What exactly do these ghosts want here?"

At that moment, a girl in a white dress with pigtails, sucking on a lollipop, jogged over in the night breeze, intending to brush past Fujita Mino.

Fujita Mino's gaze narrowed slightly. Just as the little girl was about a meter away, she suddenly reached out and pulled the running girl back.

Yes, pull it over.

Instead of pulling it down.

Fujita Mino was very strong; even if she dragged, she could still pull this mischievous little girl to her feet.

It's confirmed, she is indeed the little girl transformed from a ghost, because she has a ghost horn protruding from her forehead, like a small bamboo shoot growing vigorously under the spring rain.

Caught off guard and being dragged, the little girl looked up in terror. She didn't cry, but stammered as she spoke to Fujita Mino, "W-what do you want to do?"

Instead of answering her question directly, Fujita Mino asked another: "What's your name?"

""

“Ah, Ah-Li…” the little girl with a demon horn replied.

Fujita Mino frowned, feeling that the name was strange. "Ari? That sounds like a pseudonym or a nickname, doesn't it? What was your name when you were alive?"

“...Her name is Kitamura Eri.” The ghostly little girl looked at Fujita Mino’s face with fear.

It's impossible not to feel apprehensive.

Kitamura Eri was just out visiting a festival when she was inexplicably pulled down by a strange older woman and forced to reveal her name, including her name in her previous life. Anyone would be frightened in that situation.

Yes, mainly because this older sister is not simple; she is a divine messenger, a fact that Kitamura Eri is aware of.

What is a divine messenger? A divine messenger is someone who, by the will of God, goes to destroy any evil spirits they dislike!

The messenger of God is cruel!

If Kitamura Eri hadn't been so engrossed in playing hide-and-seek with her friends that she forgot about the presence of a divine messenger, she wouldn't have come here at all!

So, is this older sister divine messenger going to eat her now...?

Kitamura Eri raised her head, nervously staring at Fujita Mino's face, waiting for the divine messenger's judgment of fate.

Seeing Kitamura Eri clench her little fists and bite her lips, Fujita Mino spoke gently: "What, are you afraid of me?"

As she spoke, Fujita Mino still held onto Kitamura Eri's small hand to prevent her from escaping.

"Afraid……"

While giving a perfunctory answer, Kitamura Eri quickly scanned her surroundings and planned an escape route in her mind.

Escaping was easy; the difficulty lay in breaking free from the divine messenger's restraints. The older sister messenger was incredibly strong, and Kitamura Eri was powerless to break free.

Just then, Kitamura Eri suddenly noticed the ramen bowl in front of Fujita Mino.

Got it!

Kitamura Eri imagined in her mind what would happen if she used this ramen bowl to smash the messenger's head.

The answer is that it might be able to crack the skull of the divine messenger, but she won't die; it will only enrage her and have no other effect.

then what should we do?

Kitamura Eri glanced at her companions who had been playing hide-and-seek with her, only to find that they had long since disappeared.

Chapter 153 Coercion and Enticement

"Who are you waiting for?" Fujita Mino keenly noticed Kitamura Eri's restless behavior and asked.

"Waiting for whom? I wasn't waiting for anyone!" Kitamura Eri seemed unwilling to admit it.

Then Fujita Mino looked up and immediately saw the other three ghostly imps, but they had already fled several kilometers away.

Fujita Mino narrowed her eyes: "Are those three brats your friends?"

Eri Kitamura sighed, her face full of disdain. She said, "Hey, what's with all this talk about partners? Can someone who abandons their partners and runs away in a pinch still be called a partner?"

Fujita Mino didn't answer. Instead, she glanced at the ramen bowl in front of her and called out to Sato, "Boss, give me another bowl of ramen! With double eggs and fish cake!"

Upon hearing this, Kitamura Eri revealed her disdain. She first glanced at the ramen bowl that hadn't been touched much, then stared at Fujita Mino and said, "I've never heard of a divine messenger having such a large appetite than a mortal."

Fujita Mino's gaze sharpened slightly, and she gripped Kitamura Eri's hand with increasing strength. She said earnestly, "You're just a lowly ghost brat, yet you're incredibly bold, daring to criticize the divine messenger. Aren't you afraid I'll destroy you?"

Eri Kitamura nodded: "Yes, I am scared, but I'm thinking, if you really wanted to kill me, you wouldn't have let me live until now."

In response to Kitamura Eri's reply, Fujita Mino merely smiled slightly without offering a verbal response.

Just as the two were standing their ground, the owner, Ms. Sato, served the ramen and placed the fresh bowl in front of Kitamura Eri, saying with a smile, "Sir, your ramen is here!"

The owner is a young woman, but she is a bit too plump. This stall is hers alone, and she seems to be a college graduate starting her own business.

Upon seeing the bowl of ramen, Kitamura Eri was initially surprised. Then, she weakly pushed the ramen with her other hand, trying to return it to the messenger.

She added, "The boss put it in the wrong place, this is yours..."

Unexpectedly, the older sister, the divine messenger, reached out to stop Kitamura Eri's actions, opened her mouth slightly, and said in a gentle tone, "Are you hungry? Here, have something to eat."

"Huh?" Kitamura Eri's head was buzzing; she had never imagined she would receive such treatment.

First of all, Kitamura Eri is a ghost, so of course she's not afraid of poison in the ramen. Ghosts don't metabolize because their bodies are fake.

Whether one is healthy or not depends entirely on the strength of the ghost's power; if the ghost's power weakens, then one's body will be in poor condition.

Secondly, Kitamura Eri did not know that the ramen stall owner was in cahoots with the elder sister of the divine messenger.

Seeing that Kitamura Eri was still pondering whether the other party had any ulterior motives, Fujita Mino grew impatient and ordered, "Eat quickly!"

“Okay!” Kitamura Eri was so frightened that her body trembled. She quickly picked up her chopsticks with her left hand and was about to eat her ramen when she realized that her right hand was still being held tightly by Fujita Mino.

Seeing this, Fujita Mino released Kitamura Eri's hand and said calmly, "I doubt you would dare to run away."

Kitamura Eri certainly didn't dare to run away.

She was just a little brat, and in front of the divine messenger, she was like a child compared to an adult. If she really angered the divine messenger, she would definitely not be able to escape.

So, Kitamura Eri could only obediently say "I'm starting" and finish the ramen, not even leaving a drop of soup.

Afterwards, she wiped her mouth with her hand, patted her bulging belly, and said, "I'm finished eating, thank you for the treat."

Putting down her bowl, Kitamura Eri instinctively stood up, turned her head away, and made a gesture as if she was about to run away.

But then they heard the voice of the divine messenger: "Where are you going? You haven't paid yet."

Kitamura Eri turned her head in surprise, looking incredulous. She said, "Huh? Didn't you say you were treating me to this?"

"Did I say that?" Fujita Mino said casually.

"I already told you—are you hungry? I'll treat you to something to eat."

When saying the second half of the sentence, Kitamura Eri even imitated Fujita Mino's "warm" tone.

However, this older sister of the divine messenger was really shameless; she still argued, "I didn't say that."

Seeing that the other party was denying it, Kitamura Eri became a little anxious: "You said it!"

But the divine messenger sister still confidently said, "If she didn't say it, she didn't say it. You have no evidence."

"You!" Kitamura Eri was furious, but the quick-witted girl soon realized that Fujita Mino was deliberately picking a fight.

But you can't win an argument; your fists aren't as strong as theirs, and they're always right.

So, Kitamura Eri could only purse her lips and say, "Fine, then what do you want me to do? First of all, I don't have any money."

Upon hearing this, Fujita Mino's lips curled up slightly. She said, "Good question. It seems you'll have to work for me to pay off my debts."

As soon as these words were spoken, Kitamura Eri immediately launched into a tirade: "So you've finally revealed your true colors, haven't you? You wicked woman, full of schemes, ruthless, and utterly shameless!"

Fujita Mino tossed her hair, her face serious: "You insulted me so rudely, I can't have missed hearing that. Even if you finish your work for me, I won't let you off the hook."

Upon hearing this, Kitamura Eri tilted her head back slightly and said, "Wow, are there any women as straight as you, even straighter than a poplar tree? Since you've already said that you wouldn't let a weak woman go even if you had to work to pay off your debts, who would be willing to work for you?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on my mood. If you exceed the target, it's not like I can't forgive you." Fujita Mino's words and actions easily manipulated Kitamura Eri.

Eri Kitamura helplessly shrugged and said, "Well, now that things have come to this, even if there are mountains of knives and seas of fire ahead, am I going to go? So tell me, what dirty work do you want me to do for you?"

This was just a delaying tactic. Kitamura Eri was thinking that as long as she escaped the clutches of the female demon, she didn't care whether the demon was on a mission or not! At that time, she could roam freely to the ends of the earth, and even if the demon had the ability to fly to the heavens and dive into the earth, she wouldn't be able to catch her, right?

Then, Kitamura Eri heard Fujita Mino say, "It's simple, you just need to help me find two people. No, I should say, you need to help me find two ghosts."

Kitamura Eri blinked, her face full of innocence. "What kind of ghost does big sister want me to help you find?"

Without blinking, Fujita Mino said, "Hanako and Sachiko."

"—Wow!" Kitamura Eri's head jerked back. "You want me to find the Demon King? Isn't that putting me on the hot seat? To the Demon King, I'm just a lowly experience monster!"
