Chapter 84: Utaha and Mai Became Besties? Japan Cannot Live Without Makima!

Late at night.

The restaurant didn't have any customers, all the way until closing time.

Hayashi went upstairs to rest.

He had Tohru take Kanna back to sleep.

Before entering the room, Tohru gestured to Hayashi, giggling with a slightly perverted smile.

Hayashi nodded, indicating he understood.

Back in the bedroom.

He took a shower, then put on a bathrobe and leaned against the headboard, playing with his phone.

He hadn't looked at his phone for a while.

There were messages from people.

Utaha had sent something around 11 PM, and it was now past 2 AM.

Utaha: "Picture.jpg"

Utaha: "Hentai-kun, guess which legs belong to me and Mai."

The picture showed two pairs of legs from a fair angle.

They looked like they had just finished bathing or something - not only round and smooth, but also white with a rosy tinge, with water droplets still hanging on the skin.

According to Utaha's explanation.

One pair was Utaha's, one pair was Mai's.

Last time Utaha said that Mai, having nothing to do out of boredom, accompanied her to various book signing events.

Others couldn't see Mai, but she could see her.

So Mai was also willing to be with her.

This led to their relationship getting better and better.

"Don't tell me they're becoming best friends." Hayashi speculated.

"Whatever, let's look at the legs first."

Both pairs of legs in the picture were very beautiful.

But recognizing people from just legs was quite difficult.

Fortunately, after becoming stronger, Hayashi had very good eyesight.

He immediately distinguished the characteristics.

Utaha's legs were a bit more plump, the kind that would jiggle when slapped.

While Mai's legs were just right, with very harmonious proportions.

So with one glance, Hayashi knew the left was Utaha, the right was Mai.

Hayashi: "Both are very beautiful, can't tell them apart."

Hayashi: "Let's talk about it tomorrow at noon. Tonight I'll just make do with these two legs."

How could he immediately tell them apart?

If he could tell them apart right away, wouldn't that mean he could see the differences?

They had to both be beautiful.

At this time, Utaha and Mai should both be asleep, and there was no reply from the other side.

Hayashi played with his phone for a while longer.

Around 2:30 AM.

His room door was quietly opened.

"Yaho~" Tohru poked her head out, with bunny ear decorations on her head: "Hayashi-san, is this the meal you ordered?"

Hayashi smiled and put down his phone: "Yes, that's right."

"Hehe~"

Tohru closed the door and pounced over.

Fortunately, the bedroom's decoration was solid, with very good soundproofing.

Nothing more needed to be said.

Time to be a dragon knight.

Noon.

Hayashi curled up in bed for a while before gradually waking up.

He picked up his phone to look.

Utaha had replied, and it was another picture with a sentence.

"How about now?"

In the picture, one black stockings, one flesh-colored stockings.

Hayashi drew in a breath.

He replied: "Now I can tell them apart, but they're still both beautiful."

Then Utaha sent several more photos.

But not legs anymore.

Instead, it was where they were now.

Utaha sent several pictures.

The location was at a book signing event.

Photos of various places, her signed books, and some pictures with Mai making peace signs, showing her face, or appearing in silhouette.

There were also photos of the two together.

It seemed Mai really was inseparable from her.

Same school, same grade, just different classes - they easily got along together.

Utaha: "So busy I'm about to fly away, Hayashi-kun. The weather's getting hotter. When we rest, we definitely want to come drink lemon tea. By the way, does the shop have air conditioning?"

Hayashi: "No air conditioning, but I have a way to make the shop more comfortable than having air conditioning - warm in winter, cool in summer. Don't worry."

Utaha: "Mai just said she's looking forward to it, and so am I."

Hayashi: "You'll know when you come."

After chatting with Utaha.

When getting up, Tohru had already returned to her own room to sleep last night.

Stretching lazily.

Hayashi first went to wash up, then left the room.

He glanced at Kamishiro Rize's room.

Kamishiro Rize hadn't returned last night, didn't know what she was doing.

But maybe she had finished buying the house.

Last night she went shopping for things and stayed at her own home for the night.

Hayashi went downstairs and began preparing breakfast.

He thought about what to eat today.

Suddenly he remembered the aphrodisiac meat he had drawn from check-ins many days ago.

"How about some nourishment?"

Hayashi actually didn't want to nourish himself, because he really didn't need it - he was already very vigorous.

Facing strong opponents, he could replenish mana while exercising.

Facing normal people, he only needed to make slight moves to already take them down, didn't even need to replenish mana.

Last night's Tohru was easily taken down by him using the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Today's bed sheets needed a good washing.

But he couldn't just leave it sitting there.

"Let's see how it is first."

Hayashi took out that piece of meat and examined it carefully.

With a thud.

A piece of meat weighing a full 150 pounds dropped onto the kitchen counter.

"So big."

Looking at the quality.

"Not bad."

Looking at the muscle quality.

"Tender and juicy, excellent meat flavor, good meat."

Hayashi patted the meat twice.

The whole piece of meat also bounced along.

Had to say, it was good meat.

"Sigh, since I've already taken it out, might as well eat it."

Hayashi helplessly used thin strings to cut off 3 centimeters of thickness - a thick slice.

Everything else was put back in the system.

And this cut slice already weighed several pounds.

"How to eat it?"

Hayashi wanted to eat noodles this morning.

Noodles + meat chunks?

"Got it!" Hayashi snapped his fingers: "Braised beef noodles!"

Pure big meat chunks!

Laying the meat slice on the counter, Hayashi used the String-String Fruit to cut horizontally and vertically in countless "井" patterns, directly turning it into hundreds of small beef cubes.

Beef cut.

Hayashi began making noodles.

Then started stir-frying the beef, adding some vegetables.

When the noodles were also put in the pot.

Tohru came downstairs with Kanna without Hayashi needing to remind them.

"Smells so good~~"

Kanna ran to the kitchen following the aroma.

"What are we eating today?"

"Braised beef noodles." Hayashi gave a thumbs up: "Super delicious, guaranteed you'll drink all the soup."

"Wow~!" Kanna looked expectant.

A moment later.

"Braised beef noodles coming~"

Hayashi and Tohru carried three large bowls of noodles to the restaurant, ready to eat.

Tohru and Kanna looked at the meat chunks in their bowls.

These meat chunks piled on the noodles had already formed a small hill.

"Eat." Hayashi picked up two pieces and put them in his mouth: "What are you looking at? Don't like eating meat?"

"Eat, eat, eat."

Tohru and Kanna swallowed and immediately started eating.

Kanna opened her mouth wide.

Stuffing noodles and meat into her mouth with all her might.

In less than a few minutes.

One bowl of noodles was finished.

Then she picked up the big bowl and gulped down the soup too!

Tohru was the same.

The two dragons' speed was almost synchronized, gulping everything down, while Hayashi had only eaten half.

"Full~" Kanna comfortably held her stomach.

Tohru stood up, wearing her maid outfit and said:

"Leave it, I'll wash them later. I'll go upstairs to clean first, we still need to go shopping later."

"Okay." Hayashi nodded.

Just like that.

In the time it took Hayashi to finish the remaining half bowl.

Tohru was already quickly cleaning and organizing upstairs.

Last night's towels for wiping water.

Last night's soaked bed sheets.

Tohru blushed, giggling while first using cleaning magic, then throwing them in the washing machine.

As for Hayashi's clothes, they had to go through her mouth first.

After she tasted all of Hayashi's flavors.

Only then would they be thrown in the washing machine for a wash.

After the upstairs cleaning was done.

Tohru came downstairs and cleaned all the bowls and chopsticks that Hayashi and everyone had finished eating.

At this time Hayashi was in the yard.

Kanna had just finished watering the three sunflowers with magic water.

Under the intense sunlight.

The sunflowers grew vigorously.

After another night of change, the sunflowers had grown up and already entered maturity.

The flower buds were each the size of grapefruits or watermelons.

The green leaves were also very large, the whole sunflowers looked very big.

Each color was very vibrant - the stems were emerald green, the flower buds were golden yellow, extremely beautiful.

"So beautiful, feels like they might get stolen."

Hayashi touched his chin, walked around the three sunflowers several times, and touched the flower buds.

"The next step should be growing sunflower seeds, right? Three days?"

After hearing this.

The sunflowers actually nodded their flower buds, like nodding to confirm.

"That's great, we'll have sunflower seeds to eat soon." Hayashi was extremely satisfied.

At the same time he promised: "Don't worry, no one can steal you. I live upstairs, usually Pochita will guard you, and Tohru too."

Hearing this, Kanna also raised her watering can nearby: "Kanna too."

Hayashi nodded: "Right, Kanna too."

After hearing this, the three sunflowers swayed their green parts back and forth.

And Hayashi, without touching them.

Actually felt their emotions from a distance.

"Happy, right? And grateful too."

"No need to thank me, just grow well."

The sunflowers were even happier after hearing this.

Really interesting.

"Hayashi-san, everything's ready. Shall we go out?"

At this time, Tohru came to the yard and asked.

Hayashi checked the time and nodded.

"Let's go."

Getting in the small van again.

Hayashi took Tohru and Kanna to the market.

Along the way.

Everyone still enjoyed the scenery while chatting.

Tohru looked at the people on the street - public safety officers in Ward 20 had obviously increased.

If Ward 20 was like this, other wards probably had even more.

Gecko was already dead.

A Senior Investigator had also died.

That was a Senior rank investigator - the CCG couldn't just let it go.

So they launched strike operations and caught quite a few ordinary ghouls.

Of course, these were just for show.

What really mattered was catching A-rank and above ghouls.

When the situation escalated further.

Aogiri Tree would "reach their limit" and openly seek revenge against the CCG.

"Takatsuki Sen should be taking action soon, right?" Hayashi speculated: "Seems like she's been preparing for quite a few days."

Tohru held up two fingers with both hands.

Then made her fingers fight each other while saying:

"Hayashi-san, they seem like the beast tribes and humans from our world, also fighting endlessly every day."

Hayashi thought about it and shook his head.

"That's different."

"Hm?"

"Beast tribes are beast tribes, none of them hold seats in human leadership, right?" Hayashi asked.

Tohru thought about it and nodded: "Yes, how could humans let beast tribes have that kind of status and position?"

"So this is different." Hayashi explained: "The CCG's leadership is actually controlled and manipulated by a major ghoul family."

"What you see is all tacitly allowed by them, subtly changing things from within. The more normal investigators die, the deeper the CCG leadership gets infiltrated."

After Hayashi finished speaking.

Both Tohru and Kanna were stunned.

The CCG's leadership was controlled by ghouls!?

Weren't humans doomed then?

Suddenly, Tohru remembered something from before.

"Wait, Hayashi-san, when Makima-san was chatting with you before, didn't she say that Makima-san signed a contract with the cabinet, where her injuries would be transferred to Japanese people as diseases and natural disasters?"

Hayashi nodded: "Yes."

"?!"

After getting confirmation.

Both Tohru and Kanna's expressions were exceptionally vivid.

They probably couldn't believe how miserable these humans were.

The CCG department fighting ghouls was actually secretly controlled by ghouls.

The government department fighting devils had actually secretly signed contracts with devils.

The former was just being deceived.

But the latter had even been used as chips put on the gambling table!

What was this?

The Emperor's coin?

Bah, fuel, right?

"This is..." Tohru helplessly sighed: "So miserable."

Hayashi smiled and added:

"Actually, what's even more miserable is that the Japanese cabinet has no choice but to sign contracts with Makima."

"Huh?" Tohru was confused again: "Why?"

"Because devils are essentially a country's highest military force."

Hayashi began explaining:

"Foreign countries, like America, they even have the most Gun Devil essence fragments."

"If Japan didn't have Makima, they'd have nothing and would be at everyone's mercy."

"It's fortunate that Makima is willing to dominate all of Japan."

"If there was no Makima, then America could just threaten with the Gun Devil, and Japan would have to pay tribute with no possibility of resistance. Whatever America wanted, they'd have to give."

"Otherwise, once the Gun Devil landed, Japan could lose millions of people in an instant."

The essence of life is violence!

Whoever has stronger violence gets to call the shots!

Without Makima, what would the Japanese cabinet be?

Who would face a nation-destroying weapon like the Gun Devil?

It didn't even have nuclear weapons.

When angry, it could only get angry for a moment.

Strictly speaking, Makima would even be more compatible with America's capitalist government.

Domination would be even stronger in that regard.

But then the whole world would have no game left to play.

As for nuclear weapons...

Whoever played with those pressed the button for mutual destruction.

Once a Nuclear Bomb Devil appeared.

The result for Earth was simply unimaginable.

Everyone would be nuclear boys.

"Really unbelievable." After finishing listening and seriously thinking, Tohru sighed: "Everyone actually survives together in such a delicate relationship. This is much more complex than another world."

"Yes." Hayashi shrugged.

For these matters, not knowing was probably better - knowing didn't help much.

Tohru's other world was simple.

You destroy me, I'm destroyed, that's it.

Next.

The small car puttered along.

The three came to the market, parked the car, and began shopping.

Kanna raised her hands: "Seafood~ Seafood~ Seafood~"

"Kanna wants to eat seafood?" Hayashi asked.

Kanna shook her head: "Seafood is fun, crabs."

"Forget it then." Hayashi shook his head.

Using food to play would be too indulgent of Kanna - just play with phones.

Hayashi reminded: "Today we're buying a big TV. Do you still want to play with crabs?"

"Big TV?!"

Hearing about the big TV, Kanna decisively gave up on crabs.

Big TV it is!

"Alright, after buying groceries we'll go buy a TV."

Hayashi rubbed Kanna's head, then together with Tohru bought the daily food they needed at the market.

Nothing more than seasonings, vegetables, and meat.

After buying these three categories and putting them back in the car, Hayashi took the two to buy a TV.

Oh right, and physics books too.
