You say this is a love game?

And amidst the noise, a shadow groped over quietly, and the gray light from the horizon shone down, falling right on the shadow that was wriggling like a living thing.

"Wow?"

A slight cry.

Yoshiko Satori woke up instantly and squeezed out of Mizutani Makoto's bed. The little god of fortune was lying on the edge of the bed, looking up curiously at the little monster that had groped its way into the apartment.

This familiar cry is naturally the Wow Demon.

“Quack!”

The croaking of a toad.

As they watched, a toad leaped in from the window and landed on the floor. Then the wriggling shadow followed it into the room, nimbly weaving across the floor until it sank into the toad's back. The toad then rapidly expanded, transforming into the toad spirit they had seen before.

"Wow wow wow!"

Wow Yao looked at Mizutani Makoto, and seemed to have noticed the change in Mizutani Makoto's spiritual power. He widened his eyes and soon his face was filled with surprise.

Yoshiko Satori stood up and the little translator went straight into the account.

She imitated Wow Yao's expression perfectly, her little face suddenly filled with admiration and anticipation. She seemed to be suppressing her joy and said, "Master Mizutani! I, Little Yao, have come to see you. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Mizutani Makoto was stunned.

He couldn't help but ask, "Didn't I tell you to come find me in a few days? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Little greedy cat, you really want to eat the big soul, right?

"My admiration for Master Mizutani is like a surging river, endless and unending. The thought of being able to serve Master Mizutani with all my heart fills my heart with endless motivation and joy. Even if it's just a trivial task, I'm willing to give it my all, just to get a little recognition from Master Mizutani!"

People often say that honest advice hurts.

But based on my experience, this advice is very pleasant to the ear!

good!

Two B-shaped coins with carved dragon and phoenix patterns and inlaid flowers, one peach pink five-pointed star with a hairpin and pearl ornaments, and one camphor thumb-up with jade cloud pattern!

The melancholy and unhappiness of "Huai Min hasn't slept yet" in Mizutani Makoto's heart suddenly disappeared.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. This little monster is so clever. What should we do if he scares people?

Moreover, these words were translated by the little god of fortune himself. A cute little loli acting as a cyber traitor is different from a toad spirit acting as a cyber traitor... At least Mizutani Makoto is very happy and feels that Kako, the acting spirit, is used in the right place.

Yes, yes, yes, he just likes being looked at with such admiring eyes by children.

"My dear, please get up quickly."

Someone's dragon and phoenix figures, the appearance of the sun and the moon, and the aura of a king and a tyrant finally found a place to be used.

Mizutani Makoto wanted to reach out and help the Wow Monster, but when he thought about the modeling of the toad spirit, the scene of being courteous was cut. Mizutani Makoto got up from the bed, stretched his muscles, and without further ado, he talked to the Wow Monster about the things he wanted to entrust it to do.

"You said there are other monsters in Night Light City?"

"That's right! No matter which city you are in, there are always many monsters... Not all monsters are bad, just like the Zashiki-warashi who follows you, Master Mizutani."

"We don't kill, and we won't hurt anyone unless provoked. We just want to live a peaceful life away from the world, which requires a lot of communication. Strength comes in numbers, so whenever we meet a like-minded little monster, we keep each other's contact information, then hide in the corners of the city and live our own lives."

"As for how I live my daily life, it's just avoiding the exorcists."

"Some exorcists will reason with us and let us go because we haven't done anything evil, but some exorcists simply treat demons as achievements. The latter are despicable, killing innocent people to claim credit! This kind of evil must be severely corrected!"

When he said this, the wow monster started dancing around and looked extremely angry.

How can you still be oppressed like this?

If this happened in America, wouldn't people be shouting "I Can't Breathe" on the streets?

Mizutani Makoto shook his head and expressed his condolences for the living environment of the little demons, but he did not stay on this topic for long and went straight to the point.

"So, do you know the pharmacist?"

Upon hearing this, Wow Yao showed a confused expression.

Mizutani Makoto thought that some monsters were born to be good at refining medicines. For example, the Onimushi bear, even if that thing was only a paper master, could refine some strange medicines. If Wow Yao knew some professional monsters with special skills, then he might be able to get a lot of help in reality.

But Wow Yao finally shook his head.

"Pharmacists are a very valuable profession, requiring a lot of knowledge and a reliable inheritance. As far as I know, there shouldn't be any pharmacists in Night Light City... Wow, I mean on the monster side. If you want to find a reliable pharmacist, it would be more appropriate to look outside the spiritualist circle."

The circle of exorcists?

I also want to know what that circle looks like!

Mizutani Makoto shook his head secretly. He was now purely playing single-player games. He would start playing on time every night. When he felt that he had played enough, he would go offline and live his happy little life. He had never encountered player forums or good brother Taiyang.

"However, since then, it seems that there are fewer and fewer exorcists in Night Light City... It should be difficult for Master Mizutani to find an exorcist."

"Are there fewer exorcists?"

Mizutani Makoto frowned: "What's going on here?"

Wow Yao's excellent answer: "I don't know, Xiao Yao."

That's right, the Wow Monster is a otaku monster, or you can say that these little monsters who want to live a peaceful life are all hardcore otakus, staying at home and never going out, and occasionally making a "Wow" sound through the wall of the old house to scare passers-by for fun. How can you expect it to understand current affairs?

"However... the pharmacist doesn't have one, but I, Xiaoyao, met a swordsmith before. Does Lord Mizutani need one?"

"Oh? Blademaker?"

Mizutani Makoto's eyes lit up.

"Can you contact this knife maker?"

"It's been a long time since we last contacted each other. I heard he moved, but if you need me, I can help you find it!"

"good."

You, wow, really make me happy.

Mizutani Makoto looked at the moldy forging stones and strengthening materials stuffed in his backpack. To be honest, he had long wanted a blacksmith who could help him forge equipment.

Finally, I can find a place to use my skills.

Mizutani Makoto took out two [weak souls] from his backpack and handed them to Wa Yao. The moment the latter took the souls, tears flowed out like noodles.

"Lord Mizutani, you are truly as generous as the sun! Great! Under your radiant light, even the coldest darkness can be dispelled, and the most difficult path appears full of hope."

"Ms. Mizutani's kindness is not over yet!"

Okay, okay, stop bragging.

If you keep blowing, I will really become the golden sun next door that radiates light and heat.

Even though Mizutani Makoto waved his hand, the toad and the girl in front of him stood at attention, with gratitude and loyalty written all over their faces!

Then, the wow demon screamed "Wow~" and turned into a shadow and disappeared. The toad that it possessed also jumped out of the window with a croaking sound.

Mizutani Makoto rubbed his chin and muttered to himself: "I didn't open a private server, how come I entered the custom mode..."

When he lowered his head, he saw Satori Yoshiko looking at him with admiration, her big, innocent eyes wide open.

Wait, didn’t Wow Yao leave?

Why are you still in the play?

"Mm~hmm!"

Are you really on the same page with that toad spirit?!

Makoto Mizutani slapped the little goddess of fortune on the head fiercely, waking her up from her empathy.

The little god of fortune rubbed his head and said sadly: "I really feel that big brother has done me a favor..."

Mizutani Makoto patted the little girl's head gently again, but he didn't use much strength. Instead, it was like he was giving her a massage.

"Hum..."

She laughed in a sweet and innocent voice.

It was the weekend.

Mizutani Makoto originally wanted to play the game well, or practice sword skills.

But he is no longer the bachelor living alone in a cheap apartment.

Before, I was afraid that until he died suddenly one day and his body started to stink, no one would discover the unending tragedy of the Mizutani family.

But now?

He has a mother who wants to be his mother...but this mother is a little younger, which makes people feel like the connection between the famous loli mother Sakurai Momoka and her good son Char.

So, his life inevitably changed a little.

When that silly son is addicted to games all day long and has no other hobbies, never leaving the house and is about to become mentally ill, your loving mother will remind you not to be addicted to games and to go out and play with her.

"Meow~"

Makoto Mizutani stood downstairs of his apartment building and watched Yoshiko Satori feeding stray cats with sausages.

This is a cute little calico.

The cat looked thin and its fur was a little messy, but Satori Yoshiko didn't dislike it at all. Instead, she stroked the cat's head affectionately. The cat was actually quite sensible and seemed to feel the kindness of the little god of fortune, and gently rubbed the girl's palm.

It’s still the same stray cat as before.

An old man.

Makoto Mizutani still had some impression that when he first took in Yoshiko Satori, the girl had looked at the stray cat with empathy, but he didn't expect that she would get along so well with the calico cat.

"When you were in school, I would occasionally leave the house."

The girl chuckled and said proudly, "After a few interactions, I became close friends with Huahua... Big brother, you didn't know that she was aggressive towards me at first. It took me several days of hard work to slowly get close to her. Now, she waits downstairs every day for me to feed her sausage."

"Huahua?"

"I named it that! Not bad, huh?"

There is a kind of beauty of the little wild cats that appear randomly on the roadside.

But Makoto Mizutani was not the kind of person who would spoil the fun. Since Yoshiko Satori was rarely so enthusiastic, he naturally nodded in praise.

It’s this child. Why does he look like an old farm lady?

Getting up early to cook, do housework, and feed the kittens and puppies with leftovers, Mizutani Mako compared the image of this girl and threw the kind-hearted Grandma Kako out of his mind.

Just stand here and watch Yoshiko Satori interact with this calico cat.

Now, Mizutani Makoto has a deep understanding.

He has a bit of a soft spot now.

He was not quite the same as the invincible man in his previous complete form... If he were alone, he would definitely not stand here on such a beautiful morning and listen to the meow of a stray kitten, but the appearance of Satori Yoshiko did bring a lot of embellishment to his life, like a spiritual buffer zone, making him willing to waste time here.

But wasting time is also a rare pleasure.

This week's results saw Makoto Mizutani receive the MVP award with a score of 13.0, thanks to the sheer number of souls he dedicated.

As for Yoshiko Satori, she only knows how to do housework and cook at home. She scored 3.0, a winner without any effort!

Time has come to Tuesday.

After school that day, Mizutani Makoto was left at school.

Even the student on duty has been gone for a long time.

As the lingering sound of the school bell was swallowed up by the chirping of cicadas, the curtains of Class 1B of Senior High School were blowing in the wind, revealing a patch of orange light outside the window.

This is dusk.

The dusk in June in Japan always carries a hint of the dampness of the rainy season. The setting sun is trapped between the frames of high-rise buildings in the distance, burning the bottom of the clouds into an orange-red color like molten iron, while the upper layer still stubbornly maintains indigo, as if the sky was torn open with a crack that is flowing with amber.

Mizutani Makoto got up and closed the window, looking at the cherry tree in the courtyard. The tree had long since faded into a giant dark green umbrella. The bald head of the dean of studies under the shade of the tree was reflecting the orange-red afterglow, which was amazing.

"Wuhu——"

A sudden, loud cheer erupted from the direction of the basketball court, startling Tsubaki Yokoi, who had dozed off on the table. The girl glanced around frantically before finally meeting the stern gaze of Mai Yajima.

"Feel sorry!"

She immediately stood at attention.

A temporary conference table made of desks was covered with the "Club Application Form".

Due to someone's extremely willful behavior, the first round table meeting of the unestablished Love Activities Department officially opened.

Furthermore, the key figure, Makoto Mizutani, stole the spotlight from future minister Mai Yajima and made a statement:
