Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

Shimizu Suzune was already mentally prepared for being suddenly blamed, so when faced with the questioning from the High God, she remained calm and composed.

The fact that both of them, as the parties involved, remained so calm made Ishikawa Risa somewhat uneasy.

She wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say. She couldn't very well say something like "Shimizu-senpai isn't sick," because that would be somewhat disrespectful to the High God.

You must understand that what the High God says is absolute truth, and Ishikawa Risa believes that it must be obeyed unconditionally.

If the High God says she's sick, then she must be sick, even if she isn't!

However, Shimizu Suzune was, after all, an experienced "old hand," unlike Ishikawa Risa who was timid and fearful.

She directly stated, "Kami-sama, Shimizu is not sick, nor does she have a fever. Everything I have said has been carefully considered, and I hope you will understand."

"Alright..." Since Shimizu Suzune insisted, Araki Makoto wasn't some old fogey, so he naturally agreed to listen.

After calming down, Makoto Araki asked Suzune Shimizu directly, "You say this world is fake, but what's your basis for that? Have you investigated it?"

Upon hearing this, Shimizu Suzune glanced at Ishikawa Risa, but the latter shook her head in denial.

Seeing that her companions could not provide a standard answer, Shimizu Suzune could only say, "To Kami-sama, we only have this theory, and we still need time to verify it."

Araki Makoto quickly followed up, "Very well, when are you going to verify this?"

Shimizu Suzune immediately replied, "In response to Kami-sama, Shimizu can set off now to verify whether this world is an illusion."

Makoto Araki had anticipated that Suzune Shimizu would say that, so he simply waved his hand and said, "Then go ahead. It's dangerous outside, so be careful on the road."

It was this phrase, "Be careful," that instantly warmed up Shimizu Suzune, who was usually very cold towards others.

My Lord, was that him showing concern for me just now? I never knew he had such a heartwarming side.

He's handsome and a very warm-hearted guy.

He should be a god!

Thinking of this, Shimizu Suzune happily ran out, even going straight out the front door.

Araki Makoto simply smiled at her recklessness, but he had no idea what she was really thinking.

“They just went out like that…” Ishikawa Risa stared at the open door, her expression showing some worry.

In response, Makoto Araki calmly replied, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her 24/7, there won't be any safety risks."

"Huh?" Ishikawa Risa finally realized what was happening. She quickly knelt down and bowed her head in a dogeza (a traditional Japanese kowtow).

The girl's forehead touched the tatami floor. "Private Marseille, Ishikawa is overthinking it. Ishikawa shouldn't have doubted Camille-sama's abilities."

"Raise your head and come here." Makoto Araki's lips curled up slightly.

I don't know if Risa Ishikawa, being a virgin, understands, but Makoto Araki understands perfectly well, since they are now alone in a room together.

Now it seems she doesn't understand.

She's too shy.

Moreover, they are very passive.

So, I initially thought Ishikawa Risa's face was cute and I was very interested, but after seeing her performance, I instantly lost interest.

Makoto Araki is a god, so why does she have to do everything herself? If it really comes down to sexual relations, it should be her who takes the initiative.

As his desires subsided, Makoto Araki directly infused his head with golden light, which would allow him to enter Sage Mode more quickly and eliminate external interference.

Risa Ishikawa couldn't quite understand Makoto Araki's actions, but she noticed a clear change in the god's expression.

Have you become a bit more Zen-like?

No, that's not right.

That's not being Buddhist.

That was truly becoming a "Buddha".

Indeed, the divine light emanating from the current Supreme God is even stronger than before; he is practically an invincible Buddha.

Chapter 199 is a lie, isn't it?

Since the goddess suddenly became a completely different person, Ishikawa Risa was somewhat frightened.

Of course, she wasn't afraid of losing her virginity; she wasn't thinking about that right now. What she was more afraid of was losing favor, since the Buddha-like face of the High God was indeed a bit terrifying to Ishikawa Risa.

So I couldn't help but ask, "Hey, Kami-sama, what's going on here...?"

Instead of directly answering Risa Ishikawa's question, Makoto Araki said, "Ishikawa, you're too attached to appearances."

Although I don't know what the High God meant by those words, judging from the tone, it probably wasn't anything good.

And so, Risa Ishikawa performed another deep bow: "Private Massai!"

Although it's unclear whether Risa Ishikawa understands the significance of that statement, the fact that she casually knelt down, obscuring her face, made Makoto Araki quite displeased.

He directly reprimanded her, saying, "Raise your head, and don't kneel or dogeza (a type of prostration) for no reason."

“Okay!” Ishikawa Risa quickly stood up, not daring to look away.

She wasn't tall, only about 1.6 meters. Even when she stood up, she still looked too petite compared to Makoto Araki, who was nearly 1.8 meters tall.

When Ishikawa Risa stood up, her eyes met Araki Makoto's, but considering that his gaze was somewhat amused and that he hadn't spoken for a long time, she looked away.

The other person replied with, "Look at me."

"it is good!"

Left with no other choice, Risa Ishikawa had to turn her gaze back to Makoto Araki and look him in the eye again.

However, Ishikawa Risa was a shy person after all, and looking into her eyes like that made her feel incredibly embarrassed, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into immediately.

Just then, the deity asked, "Are you shy?"

Risa Ishikawa blushed instantly. She lowered her head slightly and murmured, "Eh? Kamisama, I'm a girl, it's normal to be shy..."

Araki Makoto's lips curled up slightly: "That's wrong. Just because you're a girl, you shouldn't be shy."

Upon hearing this, Ishikawa Risa was even more at a loss for words: "Eh? Eh..."

Makoto Araki continued, "Have you ever heard the saying, 'When a woman pursues a man, it's as easy as piercing a thin veil; but when a man pursues a woman, it's as difficult as getting her into a house, getting her into a car, and getting her mother away'?"

Risa Ishikawa's pupils contracted, her face filled with disbelief and disbelief: "Eh?! Is it really that difficult?"

Araki Makoto turned his head and looked meaningfully to the west. "In Japan, it might not be that simple. But on the neighboring Shenlong Continent, it is that difficult."

Risa Ishikawa pursed her lips and immediately felt empathy: "Waaah, those boys over there are so pitiful."

Araki Makoto tilted his head back slightly and said, "You think so too?"

“Yes.” Even though she was just talking about unrelated genders, Risa Ishikawa looked worried, her empathy was quite exaggerated.

Araki Makoto's lips curled up slightly: "What if I told you that on the neighboring Divine Dragon Continent, you have to pay a dowry to get a wife? Wouldn't you just explode?"

"What is a bride price?" Ishikawa Risa scratched her head, looking completely bewildered.

Araki Makoto said calmly, "If the man wants to marry a woman, he has to give her family money, which is about six million yen."

"Eh? Six million..." Ishikawa Risa immediately started counting on her fingers, but after a while, she felt dizzy.

Risa Ishikawa looked on incredulously: "You're kidding me, right? Is this marrying off a daughter or selling her?"

Without a second thought, Makoto Araki answered her question: "Of course it's true."

"Waaaa, this is so tragic," Risa Ishikawa exclaimed involuntarily. "In my family, it's the other way around. My father said that if someone wants me in the future, he'll even give me a lot of money as a dowry..."

"It can't be that bad, can it?" Makoto Araki tilted his head back slightly and re-examined Risa Ishikawa's appearance.

This girl has a slightly chubby face, but an extremely perfect figure; she's the kind of girl who's incredibly cute.

To be honest, girls with a bit of baby fat like Risa Ishikawa really appeal to Makoto Araki's aesthetic.

In contrast, he dislikes those V-shaped faces, internet celebrity faces, and surgically enhanced faces, believing that such faces destroy the original beauty of humanity.

Risa Ishikawa didn't respond to Makoto Araki's follow-up words; she simply turned around and smiled, which was her response to his sarcastic remark.

So, after getting up, Ishikawa Risa unconsciously leaned against Araki Makoto, but Araki Makoto was not a man that could be obtained so easily, so she dodged away.

"Ahem, let's get down to business." Araki Makoto coughed, pulling Ishikawa Risa back from her romantic fantasies.

Makoto Araki cut to the chase: "Since you say this world is fake, do you have any good ideas?"

Risa Ishikawa hesitated for a moment, then said, "Ah, I don't. I thought you, Cammy-sama, had a way..."

Araki Makoto looked at him with disdain: "If I had a solution, I wouldn't need to discuss it with you. I could solve it myself."

“Okay…” Ishikawa Risa scratched the back of her head, “Let me think about it.”

No sooner had Ishikawa Risa finished speaking than a flash of inspiration struck her, and she said, "I think I've found a way."

"What method?" Araki Makoto urged. Why do these people like to keep things a secret? They always need someone to urge them.

Risa Ishikawa's eyes darted around, and she continued, "If this world is fake, then it must have imperfections. What I mean is, it must have a gap, and we just need to find that gap to return to the original world, or even tear this fake world apart."

Araki Makoto shook his head after hearing this: "Putting aside the fact that your assumption is a bit too bold, theoretically, the two operations you mentioned would require a great deal of power."

Risa Ishikawa raised her hand and pointed at Makoto Araki: "Aren't you one?"

“Me? Cough…!” Araki Makoto cleared his throat, feigning modesty: “My power is not that great, I am just a minor god.”

Risa Ishikawa's face turned pale instantly: "Really? So, Kami-sama, you're not a god after all?"

Her words clearly conveyed disappointment, indicating that she completely believed what Makoto Araki had said.

"cough!"

Left with no other choice, Makoto Araki cleared his throat again and said, "Don't you Japanese people know how to write the word 'humility'?"

They were just being modest, and you took it all seriously.

However, Makoto Araki was too lazy to explain to Risa Ishikawa, because some things don't need explanation to be understood.

Some people are naive and foolish; no matter how much you explain, they just won't understand.

Therefore, Makoto Araki could only sigh softly, "Well, until Shimizu ascertains the enemy's true strength, let's remain unchanged and wait for all changes..."

Ishikawa Risa seemed to realize she had said the wrong thing, so she volunteered, "Should I help Shimizu-senpai?"

Araki Makoto shook his head and said, "No need, you can just sit here and be my model."

Risa Ishikawa was stunned for a moment, her face full of disbelief: "Eh?! A model? Me? Really?"
