Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

Risa Ishikawa paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Wait a minute, Shimizu-senpai, what did you just say?"

"Huh?" Shimizu Suzune didn't know why Ishikawa Risa asked that, so she repeated, "I said, we can only go back to normal life after Camus-sama resolves the issue of the fake people."

Risa Ishikawa shook her head: "That's not it. What you just said doesn't mean 'go back to normal life'."

“Ah, let me think…” Shimizu Suzune looked up, seemingly lost in thought, and said, “I mean… going back to life in the real world…”

Risa Ishikawa exclaimed, her eyes shining as if she had discovered a tremendous treasure: "That's right!"

"...What's wrong with that sentence?" Shimizu Suzune was still completely confused.

Risa Ishikawa stared wide-eyed at Suzune Shimizu and said, "I'll tell you. No, you tell me, is it possible that this world is a fake world?!"

"Huh? Why do you say that?" Shimizu Suzune was caught off guard and found it hard to accept Ishikawa Risa's statement.

She thought for a moment and then asked in return, "If this world is fake, then where is the real world?"

Risa Ishikawa made a serious assumption: "What I mean is, the world we lived in before was real, but the world we live in now is fake. So, this world is full of fake people on the surface, but that doesn't affect the Earth's operation."

Shimizu Suzune stroked her chin thoughtfully: "What you said...it seems to make a little bit of a point..."

Risa Ishikawa's forehead was covered in cold sweat as she said:

"Think about it, the world is now full of fake people, but why is the state apparatus completely unresponsive? Normally, shouldn't public opinion have exploded by now? For example, online, there should be posts like 'I'm surrounded by so many fake people'..."

That statement is incredibly cringeworthy.

In the past, this would have only earned him ridicule from Shimizu Suzune, but now is clearly not the time to cancel on him.

Yes, now that we can no longer rule out the hypothesis that this is a false world, Shimizu Suzune is the one who is being discussed.

“Ishikawa.” Shimizu Suzune suddenly grabbed Ishikawa Risa’s shoulder, looked her in the eye, and said with certainty, “Your assumption might be correct.”

By this time, Shimizu Rinne was drenched in sweat. She murmured, "I've been feeling that something's been off these past few days. All sorts of big things have been happening, but humans haven't reacted at all..."

This is something I'm saying to myself.

It was also said to Risa Ishikawa.

After receiving a positive answer from Shimizu Suzune, Ishikawa Risa became excited: "Then let's hurry up and tell Kamisama about this hypothesis, lest we miss the opportunity!"

Shimizu Suzune nodded, affirming Ishikawa Risa's suggestion: "Okay, but before that, let's finish this cup of instant noodles first, otherwise they'll get overcooked."

Chapter 198 Why Call Me

This is a fake world.

Not only did the two divine messengers, Shimizu Suzune and Ishikawa Risa, think this way, but even the Demon King Akane felt the same way.

As a ghost, she usually needs to replenish her energy by reaping the fear of the world or by the moon at night.

She is the Ghost King, and the moonlight at night alone is not enough to replenish her energy.

Therefore, feeling that her demonic power was insufficient, Akane began to set her sights on the people of the world.

However, these people have all become false, and Qian is unable to harvest "fear points" from their souls, thus she cannot convert them into her own usable ghost power.

It's fine if she doesn't harvest them. But once she starts harvesting these guys, Qian feels like she's harvesting birds and beasts. Not only does it not increase her demonic power, it actually decreases it a little.

This can't go on!

Hiding in the sewers, Akane's thoughts were no longer about the fear of harvesting humans, but about how to survive.

In addition, she had previously seen a little devil mingling with a divine messenger, so she was now on her way to the hiding place of that ghost.

Qian raised her head and used her ghostly power to measure the distance to her destination; it was still a few kilometers away.

Unfortunately, this sewer line cannot lead directly to the area below; it has to be rerouted.

Changing the route would be difficult.

Right now, outside the sewer, it's the time of day when the sun is at its strongest. If Qian went outside to sunbathe, she felt like she might get sunburned.

As a result, even though the goal was already within reach, there was no way to move forward.

The Ghost King is not easy to be.

The Ghost King sighed!

……

……

A guesthouse.

In fact, the reason why Fujita Mino and Kitamura Eri chose this guesthouse was to prevent being attacked by fake people or ghosts.

This guesthouse is situated on a vacant lot. There are not many houses nearby, and there are no proper large sewers or greenery. It can be described as a "scorched earth" place.

Therefore, Kitamura Eri and Fujita Mino were strategically better than Shimizu Suzune and Ishikawa Risa.

Unlike the two divine messengers, Shimizu Suzune and Ishikawa Risa, Fujita Mino possessed great divine power and did not easily feel hungry.

So she sat on the bed, watching Kitamura Eri still playing games, and asked in confusion, "Hey Kitamura, it's broad daylight right now, shouldn't it be nighttime for you? Why aren't you sleeping?"

While playing the game, Kitamura Eri explained, "I want to sleep too, but Fujita, I'm worried you won't be able to detect the enemy's attack, and then we'll be in danger."

Fujita Mino looked displeased at Kitamura Eri's words and pouted, "Nonsense, how can you underestimate me like that? I am, after all, the First Divine Messenger."

However, Kitamura Eri shook her head and said, "Let's not talk about that for now. I've discovered a very strange problem."

"What's wrong?" Fujita Mino leaned closer to the screen to take a look, but found nothing unusual in the game.

Kitamura Eri sighed and said, "I've noticed that there are fewer and fewer people being matched with these days, and I feel like most of them are fake."

Fujita Mino shook her head and said, "Huh? Isn't this expected? It's not like you're new to this game's matchmaking mode..."

Kitamura Eri shook her head and pointed at the computer screen, saying, "No, what I mean is, at least 95 out of every 100 people we're matched with are fake."

Fujita Mino dismissed Kitamura Eri's complaints and instead advised, "Then stop playing and go to sleep!"

Kitamura Eri shook her head, helplessly explaining, "It's not a question of whether to play or not! Oh, how should I put it? In short, the situation is already very serious!"

Fujita Mino patted her chest confidently and said, "No matter how serious the situation is, I'm still here. We'll deal with whatever comes our way."

"Alright, alright, now that you're here, I can sleep soundly." Kitamura Eri agreed with a wry smile, but added, "However, if anything happens, you should wake me up, okay? Don't go out on your own."

Fujita Mino laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid!"

After receiving a satisfactory reply, Kitamura Eri moved to the bed. "Should I say good afternoon or good night?"

Sweet dreams!

……

……

Makoto Araki was summoned, and it was the divine messengers Suzune Shimizu and Risa Ishikawa who summoned him together.

So, with the intention of seeing what had happened, Makoto Araki appeared at the hotel once again.

This time, however, the hotel smelled a bit too strong, so fragrant that it made him crave instant noodles.

Araki Makoto glanced around but didn't see the instant noodle container, so he asked, "You guys ate instant noodles?"

"Ah! Private Marseille!" Upon hearing this, Shimizu Suzune was so startled that she immediately knelt down. "We were indeed eating instant noodles here just now and forgot to open the window for ventilation. I'm so sorry for disturbing Camie-sama!!"

Risa Ishikawa also knelt down. She didn't dare to raise her head, only daring to secretly look at Rinne Kiyomi's face, waiting for her to speak up for her.

However, to the surprise of both girls, their goddess said: "Never mind that, you're making me hungry too. Don't be greedy, give me a cup of instant noodles too!"

"Huh? Eating alone..." Shimizu Suzune looked up, her face full of disbelief. She never imagined that the goddess would want to eat instant noodles...

I initially thought that the High God thought this tasted "stinky," but now it seems that's not the case.

Seeing that the two girls were still kneeling on the ground, Makoto Araki waved his hand: "Get up first."

"Okay!" Shimizu Suzune and Ishikawa Risa stood up at the same time, with Shimizu Suzune asking first, "What kind of instant noodles would you like, Goddess?"

"Anything is fine," Makoto Araki replied casually, but then added, "How about I have something braised?"

"Braised...?" Shimizu Suzune was a little confused; she had never seen instant noodles like this before.

"Don't you know?" Makoto Araki tilted his head back slightly, "This kind of instant noodles is very famous in the neighboring Shenlong Continent, and I would call it the ceiling of the instant noodle world."

Shimizu Suzune knelt down again, but this time it was a full dogeza: "I really haven't heard of 'Shimizu Suzune,' but if it's sold in the Divine Dragon Continent, it should be imported into Japan as well. I just don't know if this is one of the instant noodles we buy."

I can't stand the Japanese. They're always kneeling down and doing dogeza (a traditional Japanese kowtow). You're supposed to be from a Chinese-speaking cultural sphere, don't you have a proverb like "A man's knees are worth gold"?!

When buying instant noodles, Shimizu Suzune and Ishikawa Risa did not carefully select each flavor.

For them, instant noodles are all they need.

Moreover, eating different flavors seems like a good option, so they randomly selected different flavors of instant noodles.

The instant noodles were in the shopping bag. Ishikawa Risa walked over and rummaged through the shopping bag, and sure enough, she found the "Braised Beef Noodles" produced by the Shenlong Continent next door.

"Is this the package?" Ishikawa Risa found it immediately, holding up a red packet of instant noodles to show the two of them.

At that moment, she felt as if she had found gold in a shopping bag; her eyes lit up, and she was overjoyed.

“This is the package.” Makoto Araki hadn’t expected to find braised beef noodles in a Japanese supermarket.

However, since it is a supermarket, it is not surprising that it has imported foreign goods. After all, there are also supermarkets specializing in imported goods in the Shenlong Continent!

Once the instant noodles were ready, Makoto Araki took a hot bite, and then it was time to start asking the two divine messenger girls questions.

Araki Makoto took a sip of his instant noodles and first looked at Ishikawa Risa's face: "So, why are you two calling for me?"

Shimizu Suzune pursed her lips, organized her thoughts for a moment, and then began to speak fluently: "It's like this, Cami-sama, weren't we just discussing the fake man incident? Then Ishikawa unintentionally came to a surprising conclusion."

Ishikawa Risa disagreed with her answer. It was clearly Shimizu-senpai who came to this conclusion first, so how could she give the credit to Ishikawa Risa?

Wait a minute, this idea is too bold; perhaps this isn't a merit...

Because the man was watching her, Ishikawa Risa didn't dare to raise her head or look directly at his face; she could only stare at Shimizu Suzune's face.

After saying that, Shimizu Suzune started to keep everyone in suspense, not saying anything for a long time, until Araki Makoto urged her, "Go ahead."

Perhaps Shimizu Suzune herself wasn't particularly confident. Before speaking, she made a point of exchanging a glance with Ishikawa Risa before saying, "We believe that the world we live in is fake, and that the real world has been replaced by the world of fake people."

Upon hearing Shimizu Suzune's words, Araki Makoto frowned, then looked at Ishikawa Risa and asked her uncertainly, "Ishikawa, are you sure Shimizu doesn't have a fever?"

"Huh? Huh?" Ishikawa Risa had no idea that Shimizu-senpai had already shifted the blame to her, so why did the Goddess still think that Shimizu-senpai had made the wrong statement?

It's actually quite normal. Even if Shimizu Suzune was already involved from the beginning, these outrageous words still came from her mouth, so Araki Makoto naturally blamed her for it.
