Is this okay?

"I am a police officer." Sumire Muroto immediately took out her prepared identification and explained the situation.

The police officer frowned upon seeing Sumire Muroto's identification and left with a hint of disdain.

Sensing the police's disdain, Leng Mo couldn't help but think of an immature plan.

If I bring Sumire Muroto to my side, wouldn't that mean I can have her order Rentaro around to do things he doesn't want to do?

Maybe we can even bring Enju over.

Then I saw Rentaro's unwilling yet helpless expression.

Thinking of this, Leng Mo smiled warmly.

"Dr. Sumire Muroto, I think we can have a serious talk. Do you think this world is normal?"

"What do you mean?" Muroto Sumire didn't understand why Leng Mo's attitude had suddenly changed.

"Don't you feel something's wrong with living in this world?" Leng Mo looked at Muroto Sumire in a friendly tone.

"?"

"Don't you understand? Look around you, isn't something missing? Don't you think this world has no future?"

"What on earth are you going to say!"

"They were risking their lives to protect your children, and in the end... ha! How can I put it, they're really kind."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Sumire immediately understood what Leng Mo was talking about, and for a moment she had no idea how to refute him.

"If you think I want to destroy the world, don't you think you yourselves are more like the ones destroying the world?"

"What... exactly do you want to do?" Sumire had no idea what Leng Mo wanted to say, but she could feel that a terrifying aura emanating from him was growing stronger and stronger.

"If you think the world needs to change, why not try working for me?" Leng Mo held up his watch, indicating his intention to recruit Muroto Sumire.

"What are you thinking?" Muroto Sumire had no idea what Leng Mo was thinking. She was clearly his enemy, but he seemed to be trying to recruit her.

"Didn't I say it already? To save the world." Leng Mo smiled confidently.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Sumire Muroto suddenly realized something and looked at Leng Mo with a mixture of disbelief and incredulity.

Is it possible that he really is saving the world?

No way?

Sumire Muroto felt she couldn't believe that this guy, who clearly wasn't a good person, would save the world.

but……

and many more!

Perhaps this is a way; if I join him, I can infiltrate his ranks and maybe learn some things I didn't know before.

You can also encounter spirits.

"Okay, I'll join." Sumire Muroto immediately shouted to Leng Mo, realizing this.

"Trust me, you won't regret it." Leng Mo couldn't help but smile happily upon hearing Muroto Sumire's reply.

And so Sumire Muroto joined Rei Mo's team.

Then, taking advantage of her identity as the Sage Muroto Sumire, Leng Mo and his group could do whatever they wanted in acquiring real estate.

Inside the villa, Sumire Muroto sat in the living room and took a large gulp of sake.

In this situation, she has completely joined Leng Mo and the others' team, but... but no matter how she thinks about it, she feels like she has dug her own grave.

After joining, Leng Mo didn't do anything behind my back, but instead openly told me about the next plan.

However... it's all about acquiring real estate.

That's really heartbreaking.

Moreover, I've been eating and drinking well and sleeping well in the villa these past few days, and I'm almost forgetting why I came here.

"No matter how I think about it, something just doesn't feel right!!"

"..."

Sawa, who was standing nearby, didn't know what to say when she heard Sumire Muroto's drunken outburst.

So what's this guy doing here?

She silently took a sip of tea, not wanting to meddle any further, and then happily ran off to find Xiaoyan to play Kickbox.

At this moment, Leng Mo and Senior Xiao Yuan couldn't help but reveal terrifying smiles on their faces.

"Hehehehe... We've now acquired over 80% of the properties, and there are almost no more properties left in the Tokyo area. In other words..."

"Our plan will be completed soon."

"!!"

The conversation between the two instantly sobered up the drunk Sumire Muroto, who immediately perked up her ears to eavesdrop.

"People in this world are really stupid. They didn't realize that they had already experienced 80% of the damage before they even realized it."

"That's true. They'd react if they found 50% of the level in the ordinary world, and the councilors didn't react at all. It's hilarious!"

No wonder this world is going to be destroyed.

"It's good to die early and be reborn sooner."

"makes sense."

"Uh-huh."

I didn't come here to listen to you insult us!

Sumire Muroto was internally ranting and raving over the conversation between Madoka and Leng Mo, completely at a loss for what to do.

"Then let's move on to the next step."

Is 80% enough?

"That's enough, that's enough..."

"What's going on? Wasn't it supposed to be 90%?"

"Senior Madoka... I have something terrible to tell you, Tom Nook... Tom Nook is out of money."

"..."

After a brief silence from Senior Xiaoyuan.

"What?!!!! Doesn't that mean... doesn't that mean—!!"

"Yeah, we're out of money too."

"Fuck you!! WRYYYYYY!!"

Why are you making those random noises like me?

Leng Mo watched as Madoka Kaname beside him erupted in a DIO-like scream and couldn't help but complain.

"How could this be... how could this happen! How much money did we spend?!" Senior Xiaoyuan screamed in frustration, realizing she had been so happy spending money lately that she hadn't kept track of it at all.

"About...ten trillion...and that's based on the prices in this world."

"NOOOOOOOO——!!"

Madoka held her face and screamed in despair, "Ten trillion, which is ten trillion Bells, it's only thanks to Tom Nook that I can come up with that much."

Overwhelmed with grief, Senior Madoka roared in despair, "Stop talking! Let's get started!!"

So what exactly is your plan?!

Hearing this, Sumire Muroto couldn't help but complain, filled with frustration, completely unsure whether the two people opposite her were doing it on purpose or not.

……

Under a bridge in Tokyo.

Rentaro, Enju, and Tendouki, carrying their luggage and looking exhausted, walked towards the bridge arch.

Their faces were haggard and weathered.

Although we don't know what happened these past few days, there are more and more people sleeping on the streets, and even the underpasses are full. They are now desperately looking for rental housing.

Unfortunately, for some reason, even though there are plenty of empty apartments, I just can't find a place to rent one.

It's as if someone is deliberately not renting to others. What's even more frightening is that the commercial streets are closing down one after another, almost to the point of being shut down.

"Rentaro...do you still have anything to eat?" Tendouki asked with a pained expression. He hadn't eaten much these past few days, mainly because he couldn't find anything to buy.

"Ah... I gave the last bag of bread to Enju." Rentaro sighed weakly, dragging his luggage.

"I'm sorry... it's all because of me..." Yeonju looked apologetic upon hearing this.

“It’s none of your business, Enju. You’re a child, you can’t go hungry…” Rentaro said seriously.

If even Enju is like this... then the other cursed children will probably be...

The thought filled Rentaro with anger, but he knew there was nothing he could do.

"I'm hungry……"

"yes……"

"Hey……"

Rentaro, Tendou Kisara, and Enju all sighed helplessly.

The current situation is that even if you have money, you can't buy anything to eat.

That night, Rentaro and his two companions still couldn't find a place to stay and had to camp outside.

However, there are more campers today than usual.

Everyone looked haggard and worn out, clearly indicating they hadn't eaten much lately.

It's very quiet tonight, and everyone is exhausted. This can't go on.

Just when everyone was having a very hard time sleeping.

"Hiss—apply—!!"

The sound of slurping noodles echoed through the quiet night sky.

"What?! Who's slurping noodles?!"

"Damn it! Who's secretly slurping noodles in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?!"

"Who's there! Who's slurping noodles?!"

The sound of people slurping noodles was so loud that they were all awakened, and at that moment they suddenly realized that a high wall had risen up from the ground and blocked them all outside.

"How is that possible... It wasn't here during the day..."

Awakened by the noise, Rentaro was incredulous to see the suddenly appearing high wall and quickly woke up Tendo and Enju beside him.

"Hey, Enju, Kisara, wake up."

"Ah? What's wrong?"

"Rentaro, I heard someone slurping noodles..."

The two groggily sat up from the ground, and when they opened their eyes, they saw a huge wall blocking their view.

"What's happening here!?"

Kisara stared wide-eyed in horror, finding the situation before him unbelievable.

Immediately afterwards...

"Hiss—apply it—!"

A loud slurping sound rang out, followed by an incredibly delicious sound of eating noodles.

Gulu!

Anyone who hears that sound can't help but swallow hard; it smells absolutely delicious.

Just by listening to the sound, you can smell the aroma of the noodles.
