Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

"Why are you still here?" Fujita Mino was clearly surprised by Kitamura Eri's presence.

“Then I…” Kitamura Eri scratched her head, looking aggrieved, and said, “Where should I be…”

Fujita Mino pointed at her little face and said, "Your mission is over, so go back to where you came from."

In response, Eri Kitamura said, "But I have no home..."

Fujita Mino frowned. "So where do you usually live?"

Eri Kitamura patted the ground beside her. "Like this, sleeping in the ditch or grass outside, anywhere the sun doesn't shine."

Fujita Mino's gaze narrowed slightly: "Oh, then you should find a sewer to sleep in."

Then, I prepared to turn around and leave.

"Please wait a moment, Divine Messenger!" Kitamura Eri called out, stopping Fujita Mino.

"Is there anything else?" Fujita Mino turned around and asked, puzzled.

Kitamura Eri said, "You divine messengers claim to be on the side of justice, boasting of saving the world, so can you save me instead?"

Fujita Mino scoffed at Kitamura Eri's statement, saying, "But you are a ghost, and you and our divine messengers are natural enemies. It's already a great favor that we haven't fought. You expect me to save you?"

Kitamura Eri disagreed, saying instead, "Can't you? Look at your Buddhist neighbors, they claim that all beings are equal and that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. It's your good fortune that you're willing to lend me a helping hand."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Fujita Mino retorted, "I have never seen such a shameless person."

However, Kitamura Rika was not ashamed but proud, and smiled knowingly: "Hehe, thank you for the compliment!"

Fujita Mino became slightly interested in this mischievous and frail little imp: "Then tell me, if I lend you a helping hand, how should you repay me?"

Kitamura Eri smiled and said, "If you lend me a helping hand, you will receive my gratitude, and I will remember your kindness!"

"That's it?" Fujita Mino looked disgusted, then added, "You might as well be my dog, since your dog nose is so sharp."

Kitamura Eri was a little angry: "Don't call her a dog! How can you call such a cute girl a dog!"

Fujita Mino shook her head: "Acting cute doesn't work on me."

Actually, it's somewhat useful.

Unlike most girls, Fujita Mino has a strong maternal instinct, so she enjoys spending time with children.

As for why this is the case, it's because Fujita Mino has never experienced being beaten by children, and instead finds them cute.

"I've got it!" Kitamura Eri suddenly exclaimed, as if she had thought of something.

She smiled and said, "Think about it, you divine messengers sleep at night, while we ghosts sleep during the day. When you sleep at night, I can provide you with protection!"

Fujita Mino scoffed at her statement: "Are you sure you won't try to harm me while I'm asleep?"

Kitamura Eri laughed, a very innocent laugh: "Of course not, I'm not a traitor! If I harm my master, wouldn't I have to go back to being a wanderer!"

Kitamura Eri's desire to receive help from the divine messenger was certainly not without purpose, and it was not a simple one.

From Kitamura Eri's perspective, there is no peace between ghosts, especially for a ghost king like Hanako Sachiko, who enjoys the idea of ​​the big fish eating the small fish.

Once the Demon King is born, there will be no lesser demons within a radius of several hundred meters, because the lesser demons are afraid of becoming nourishment. This is one of the survival threats that Kitamura Eri faces.

The second threat, of course, comes from the divine messenger, or rather, from the Shinto Hall.

For example, when people discover traces of ghosts, even if the ghosts do not show any harmful side, humans still have an innate fear of ghosts. At this time, humans will ask the spirits of the Shinto Temple to come and eliminate the ghosts.

Therefore, if Kitamura Eri could find a powerful female spirit to rely on and become a legitimate ghost under the spirit's name, her right to life would be guaranteed.

In other worlds, spirits that serve the gods can also be called "shikigami" just like Chun.

Although such a combination does not exist in the real world, the concept has already appeared in various literary works.

Furthermore, it is not impossible for divine messengers and demons to cooperate. Just now, the two sides demonstrated the potential for cooperation—Eri Kitamura used her own fear to sense the demon king's demonic power.

That's right, as a weak spirit, Kitamura Eri is able to sense spirits with power stronger than herself, which is a strong will to survive.

Even though she was terrified, Kitamura Eri still took Fujita Mino with her to the scene and met the Demon King.

Any other little devil would avoid the Demon King like the plague, let alone dare to rush straight towards the Demon King Hanako Sachiko.

So this is Kitamura Eri's sincerity; she just doesn't know what the divine messenger in front of her is thinking.

Fujita Mino hesitated for a moment before replying, "However, I am currently living in the Shinto Hall, so it may be difficult for me to take you in."

Kitamura Eri was somewhat disappointed: "Huh? I expected you to have a home, so why are you living in the Shinto Hall?"

Upon hearing Kitamura Eri's words, Fujita Mino immediately became interested and asked directly, "Why do you assume I have a home?"

Eri Kitamura said, "I'm very good at judging people. If you have a glow on your face, it's because you have hope for life. If you're an orphan, you wouldn't have that kind of glow on your face."

Fujita Mino was somewhat surprised: "I didn't expect that you, little brat, who looks so silly, would actually know how to read people."

Yes, it is true that Fujita Mino has a family, and her father is still alive, that is beyond doubt.

As for those lost people and those things that happened in the past, Fujita Mino no longer cares. She has moved on and is a girl who is determined to move forward.

Another question: why have I been staying at the Shinto Hall lately? It's all because of the Demon King Hanako and Sachiko!

Fujita Mino smiled and said, "Alright then, come home with me."

“…Really?” Kitamura Eri blinked, somewhat incredulous.

“You can choose not to believe it.” Fujita Mino didn’t argue with Kitamura Eri about it and simply turned and left.

“I believe you!” Kitamura Eri quickly followed.

"I'll send them a message, we'll go home first." Fujita Mino said, taking out her phone to send a message to Shimizu Suzune—

About ten seconds later, Shimizu Rinne's phone beeped with a notification, revealing that she had received a message from Fujita Mino wanting to go back early.

In the text message, Fujita Mino claimed that she had taken in a little girl and that they were going to take a taxi back.

Shimizu Suzune had no objection to Fujita Mino's actions, as she was an independent person with the right to do what she wanted.

Indeed, this wasn't the first time Fujita Mino had dealt with ghosts; she had previously dealt with Shinozaki Sachiko, and the two had a good relationship, so it wasn't surprising.

Fujita Mino can do whatever she wants, even if it means "keeping a mistress in a golden house".

However, compared to Fujita Mino's rich experience of festival nightlife, Shimizu Suzune and the other two's experiences were rather unremarkable.

They didn't eat a proper meal, nor did they eat ramen. Instead, they ate some rice balls and sushi, bought lemon tea, milk tea, and snacks like takoyaki, and that was their dinner.

Of course, although the three people consisted of two women and one man, they were all fully aware of their identities and dared not overstep their bounds.

So, it was just a very simple festival stroll, and the three of them didn't spark any chemistry, nor did they dare to.

Because if a divine messenger dares to be involved in romantic relationships during his term of office, it would be a great disrespect to the supreme god and would incur divine punishment.

It was exactly nine o'clock in the evening.

Seeing that many vendors ahead were starting to pack up, Shimizu Suzune turned around and said to the two people beside her, "It looks like the festival is coming to an end. Let's get ready to go back too."

Ooi Yutomi glanced behind him and reminded him, "Where's Fujita? She hasn't come back yet."

Risa Ishikawa chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, Mino Fujita hasn't come back yet."

Shimizu Rin explained, "She has already gone back home, and she's going back to her own home. We don't need to worry about her."

Chapter 155 The Divine Messenger Sister

As the daughter of a nouveau riche, Fujita Mino's family owns more than one property, and their properties are not limited to Tokyo.

Even in Yokohama.

She owns a house that was originally intended for vacation use, and this time she was just returning home.

That house is a detached villa.

On the way, Fujita Mino called her father to get the room code. After arriving at their destination, she led Kitamura Eri into her family's detached villa.

Fujita Mino pushed open the iron gate of the detached villa, and Kitamura Eri followed her in, exclaiming, "Your house is so big."

Fujita Mino, being the daughter of a nouveau riche, became smug after hearing the praise: "My family actually owns more than just this one house. We have several apartments in Tokyo!"

Eri Kitamura could only sigh, "She's a truly powerful and wealthy woman."

Fujita Mino asked with some confusion, "Do you ghost spirits also have the concept of 'rich women'?"

In response, Eri Kitamura replied, "That's for sure. Ghosts were people when they were alive."

“…That seems to make sense.” Fujita Mino nodded thoughtfully. She turned on the power to the villa and then opened the front door, where dust rushed in.

Fujita Mino turned on the lights. "I don't usually live here, so it might be a bit dusty. I hope you don't mind."

Eri Kitamura smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll clean for you from now on!"

Fujita Mino nodded and said, "Okay, it's settled then. From now on, you'll be in charge of cleaning the house."

Kitamura Eri quickly covered her mouth, realizing she might have said something wrong. Wasn't she just asking for trouble? Ugh, she was so ashamed of herself!

The lights were turned on.

In Kitamura Eri's view, the so-called villa was furnished no differently from an ordinary family home, but in reality, even the furniture inside was imported from abroad.

Sure enough, Fujita Mino became smug. She walked to the white sofa, stroked it, and introduced it: "Enjoy this. This soft leather sofa is imported from France. Do you know its price? It's a price you couldn't afford even if you sold yourself!"

Kitamura Eri said with a fawning smile, "Is it really that exaggerated? Then I dare not sit on it, I'm afraid I'll break it if I sit on it."

Seeing her cautious manner, Fujita Mino smiled and pointed to the ground, saying, "It's okay, even the tatami mats under your feet are imported from France. One of them costs as much as ten domestic tatami mats."

These words startled Kitamura Eri, who broke out in a cold sweat, afraid to let the sweat drip onto the ground lest she be sued.

Yes, a claim.

Having experienced being "invited" to eat tonkotsu ramen and then being asked to pay compensation, but having no money and having to work to pay it back, Kitamura Eri is terrified and has a deep-seated fear of money!

Wait, did Fujita Mino pay the vendor? Maybe she paid after I ran away, anyway, I didn't see it, Kitamura Eri thought to herself.

Come to think of it, the Divine Messenger is, after all, a rich young lady. She could buy the entire stall with just one item here. How could someone as wealthy as her possibly eat without paying? I must be overthinking it.

In fact, Fujita Mino was slow to realize that she hadn't paid the bill when she got home.

Fujita Mino turned her head and asked, "By the way, how many days does this festival in Yokohama last again?"

"Huh? You're asking me?" Kitamura Eri was a little confused. Although she knew how many days the festival would last, the question still caught her off guard.

“I’m asking you,” Fujita Mino said decisively. “If you don’t know, go back to the festival and ask around before you tell me.”

"I know, I know!" Kitamura Eri shouted hurriedly, repeating it twice, as if afraid the other person hadn't heard her.
