Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!
Page 180
“For example…?” Araki Makoto’s gaze sharpened slightly, urging her to continue.
Shimizu Suzune thought for a moment and said, "For example, those fake people outside never say 'I'm starting to eat' when they're eating, and they don't say 'thank you for the meal' when they're done eating. Don't you think that's counterintuitive?"
Araki Makoto stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "According to Japanese custom, that would indeed be considered a fake."
He thought for a moment and then said, "But Shimizu, can you be 100% sure they are Japanese?"
Shimizu Suzune was stumped by the question. After thinking for a while, she said, "I can't be sure, but they speak Japanese. Even if they're not Japanese, they should be of Japanese descent, right? Their hometown customs shouldn't have changed."
Even though she said that, Makoto Araki still shook his head and said, "This one example is not enough."
“Let me think…” Shimizu Rin scratched her head, then her eyes suddenly lit up: “Oh! There’s more! When I was walking on the street, I noticed that many people didn’t say ‘I’m home’ when they got home, but just pushed the door open and went in. Does that count as being a fake person?”
"I guess so?" Makoto Araki stroked his chin. She was referring to Japanese etiquette, but it was just etiquette, and some people might be too lazy to follow it.
Makoto Araki thought for a moment, then pointed at Suzune Shimizu and said, "Speaking of which, when you came in just now, did you say 'I'm back'?"
"I told you, Cami-sama, didn't you notice?" Shimizu Suzune's expression was one of surprise for a moment.
Then, staring at Makoto Araki's face, she said, "Kami-sama, generally speaking... when others say 'I'm back,' you should say 'Welcome back' at home..."
"Does it have to be this complicated?" Araki Makoto frowned, noticing the unusual expression on Shimizu Suzune's face.
Her expression was as if she had seen an enemy; her face was full of murderous intent.
Araki Makoto looked at her with disdain and pressed her directly, "What's with that expression? Do you think I'm a fake?"
“We can’t rule out that possibility.” Shimizu Suzune said, her hands moving unnaturally as if she were trying to summon a divine artifact.
Araki Makoto continued with a disdainful look: "Please, I am a god. Although I am a god to you Japanese people, I am not a native Japanese. Isn't that common knowledge?"
"Hmm..." Shimizu Rinne stared at Araki Makoto's face for a second or two, then her expression relaxed: "How come I didn't know?"
"You have the memory of a fish?" Araki Makoto still had a disdainful look on his face: "When I eat instant noodles, I choose braised beef noodles. I even say that it is a delicacy from the Divine Dragon Continent."
"It seems that's true." Shimizu Suzune nodded thoughtfully.
"Don't dwell on this," Makoto Araki added. "So, the evidence regarding the fake man is still insufficient. Is there anything else?"
"Yes!" Shimizu Suzune suddenly thought of something else and blurted it out: "When eating noodles, you are very quiet. That's a fake, right? When we Japanese eat noodles, we are supposed to make slurping sounds, otherwise it is considered impolite."
"Isn't that a bit one-sided?" Makoto Araki pondered for a moment before saying, "What if it doesn't taste good? Are we going to make slurping noises to exaggerate the chef's skills?"
Upon hearing this, Shimizu Suzune began to stare intently at Araki Makoto again. She said, "If I didn't know you weren't Japanese, I would definitely have labeled you a traitor."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore." Araki Makoto felt a bit of a headache, thinking that if he continued to discuss pseudo-humans with Shimizu Suzune, he might start to think of himself as a pseudo-human.
After all, Makoto Araki is not Japanese, so his behavior and habits are different from those of Japanese people.
However, from a Japanese perspective, Araki Makoto's reactions are completely impolite and could even be labeled as "hypocritical."
Of course there are cultural differences, and Makoto Araki can understand that, but he still won't consider changing these habits.
He is God.
It is a Japanese god.
It should be the Japanese who emulate him, not the other way around; otherwise, it would be an act of rebellion against the Heavenly Gang.
"Anyway, let's leave the discussion about fake people here for now." Araki Makoto was too tired to discuss it with Shimizu Suzune anymore; discussing these things with her was really exhausting.
It doesn't feel as good as lying down.
So, Makoto Araki went straight to the bed in the room. It was a double bed, where Suzune Shimizu and Risa Ishikawa had slept the night before. Without thinking twice, he sat down and quickly lay down.
His action left Shimizu Suzune somewhat bewildered, so she walked over and advised him, "Hey, Kamisama, the bed isn't a place to play. Climbing onto the bed means you're going to sleep. If you're going to sleep, please change into your pajamas."
Araki Makoto, somewhat impatient with her advice, said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll shut you up in a minute."
"Eh?!" Shimizu Suzune blushed instantly upon hearing this. After all, she was a heavy internet user, so it was impossible for her not to understand such slightly suggestive "jokes".
However, that's not what Makoto Araki actually meant. His idea was that Suzune Shimizu was just having too many distracting thoughts, which was why she kept babbling on and on.
Therefore, if a ray of divine light could be injected into her mind, she would immediately become a great sage and quiet down.
Makoto Araki didn't want to do that, because it could cause someone to lose their memory or change their personality, at least temporarily making them resemble someone else.
Unexpectedly, when Araki Makoto looked at Shimizu Suzune's face, he asked in confusion, "Why are you blushing?"
Shimizu Suzune's face turned even redder with embarrassment: "Ah, how annoying! Is my face really that red? Even if it is, it's only because of Kami-sama..."
Upon hearing her words, Makoto Araki instantly realized that she had misinterpreted his words.
Since that's the case, Makoto Araki has no choice but to erase her memories.
Makoto Araki is a god now; he doesn't want just any woman. Only a reserved woman is worthy of him.
So, Araki Makoto quickly got up, and Shimizu Suzune, who was right opposite him, instantly realized the danger and subconsciously tilted her head, trying to dodge the opponent's divine power attack.
But it was too late.
Makoto Araki placed his hand directly on Suzune Shimizu's forehead and quickly infused her brain with divine power.
In just a moment, the expression on Shimizu Suzune's face vanished, and she became calm and quiet.
With no one nagging him now, and seeing that Shimizu Suzune had been completely subdued, Araki Makoto finally managed to climb back into bed.
Meanwhile, Shimizu Suzune, whose memories had been erased, was still trying to recall her previous memories, seemingly trying to understand why she was standing here.
I remembered.
She just said "I'm back" and returned to the hotel, and then she saw the God lying in bed.
"Kami-sama..." Seeing that the god had already lay down, Shimizu Suzune tried calling out to Araki Makoto.
The sound is very soft; it's almost inaudible from a distance. Such a sound won't disturb people, or at least it won't wake someone who is sleeping.
The problem is that Makoto Araki is only pretending to be asleep; he can still hear him.
So, Araki Makoto opened his eyes and glanced at Shimizu Suzune. Seeing her innocent look, he felt even sleepier.
At this moment, Shimizu Suzune seemed to have no direction at all. Araki Makoto thought for a moment and then simply instructed, "I'm going to sleep for a while. Don't wake me up unless it's absolutely necessary."
Shimizu Suzune immediately stood up straight: "Okay, I'll stand guard for you and won't allow anyone to disturb you."
……
……
The false world inhabited by the pseudo-humans is built upon the real world, which means that the world's will can not only switch back and forth between the two worlds, but also reach and know every corner of both worlds.
For example, the hotel where Makoto Araki was staying has already been discovered by the World Will.
The "world will," represented by a girl in a black dress, is currently moving rapidly between two worlds, analyzing the hotel where Makoto Araki is located from various angles to clarify the attack route.
That's right, a short pain is worse than a long one. The world's will has decided to go to war with Makoto Araki, even if it's a war of the century.
Of course, the World Will is not a warmonger. If Makoto Araki can surrender without a fight, she would consider letting this man suffer less pain.
Chapter 202 Miracle
The World Will has already reached the vicinity of the hotel where Makoto Araki is located, but she does not immediately launch an attack on him.
The girl in the black dress discovered that there was only one divine messenger and the man in the inn, while the other divine messenger was nowhere to be found.
To be on the safe side, the world's will felt it unnecessary to launch such a reckless attack, and perhaps it could even take a hostage.
This idea was quickly approved by the World Will, and she immediately withdrew from the hotel area and began to use her power to detect the surrounding area.
Soon, the world's will locked onto Ishikawa Risa's location and immediately began moving in that direction.
For the world's will, time is money. If actions are slow and things change, the whole thing could be lost.
In summary, the World Will is not entirely confident of defeating Araki Makoto. She only knows that he is an outsider, but she does not know his strength, which is one of the reasons why she is so cautious.
Logically speaking, the World Will can directly dominate everything in the world and is a near-invincible being in its own world, but its "domination" does not include this outsider.
Even the world's will cannot exercise its power of "domination" over the divine maidens who already possess divine power, simply because they have been tainted with Makoto Araki's influence.
It should be understood that, even with just this, the world's will could not control those human girls who were originally a part of herself.
This is the reason why the world's will believes that the man's energy might be extremely terrifying.
The terror of energy is one thing, but since this person has come to her world and even created so-called divine messengers and ghosts, she must do something about it.
While she was pondering this, the will of the world had already caught up with Risa Ishikawa, who was walking alone by the river at that moment.
It is now evening, a time when the divine messenger's power enhancement is gradually weakening.
But as far as the world's will is concerned, let alone evening, even at midday, they'll still capture a divine messenger for you to see.
After catching up with Ishikawa Risa's back, the World Will, without saying a word, raised its hand and delivered a chop to the girl's neck.
Naturally, the girl fainted and was immediately caught by the will of the world.
With the hostages already taken, the world's will naturally fly towards where Araki Makoto is, and so it flies with Ishikawa Risa in its arms.
Before long, the World Will had brought Ishikawa Risa to the opposite side of the hotel.
However, at this moment, the world's will began to hesitate again.
Is it effective to take only one hostage?
What if the other side completely disregards the hostage's life and death and attacks you? Wouldn't that change nothing?
The world's will hesitated.
But what was even more alarming was that a woman's voice suddenly came from inside his arms:
"What are you waiting for? Why don't you charge in? Are you too scared?"
The World Will turned around in astonishment, completely bewildered as to why anyone would dare to speak to her like that.
That makes sense, since the world's will has never established anything like "majesty," so of course no one would be afraid of her.
Now is the time to establish this "majesty," the girl in the black dress said, turning her head to look behind her with a ferocious gaze.
"You are..." The World Will narrowed its eyes and uttered the other's name: "Ishikawa Risa?"
However, Ishikawa Risa did not answer her question. Instead, she smiled slightly, looking completely unafraid of the other person.
Because of that look in her eyes, the World Will's thoughts quickly changed, and his gaze narrowed slightly: "No, you are not Ishikawa Risa."
Perhaps noticing the other person's reaction, Ishikawa Risa smiled slightly: "If I'm not Ishikawa Risa, then who am I?"
The girl in the black dress looked as if she were facing a formidable enemy: "You are like him, not from this world."
