Never forget.
This may be the true strength of shorthand.
Time ticked by, and the rain outside seemed to intensify.
There was no sound of Thor calling from downstairs, so there must be no guests.
After nearly an hour of effort, Aoba finally absorbed all the enhancements completely.
Functional skills include shorthand, divine gifts, and super taste.
Combat skills include hand-to-hand combat, freezing, and mental focus.
Among these factors, the divine gifts remain largely unchanged, as luck is an inexplicable thing.
And the super taste is gradually moving closer to the tongue of God.
The 1v2 super taste has already begun to possess the basic functions of the God Tongue, and can taste the freshness of the ingredients and the cooking method.
As for 1v2 combat and freezing, they are merely icing on the cake and cannot bring much improvement to Aoba.
However, the 1v2 divine thought battle truly satisfied Qingye.
"call--"
"Is Lord Aoba tired?"
Otome opened her trembling black eyes and looked at Aoba with curiosity.
"No, but we should get up now."
Aoba smiled and gently rubbed Otome's three fox tails.
Strengthened by the Shikon Jewel, the tail, which was originally formed from demonic energy, has now become real.
From this perspective, Otome's demonic power has increased much more than Aoba's.
Not only did his demonic power increase, but the originally mixed demonic power and human body also completely merged.
You could say she's now a truly new kind of monster.
A new monster that has never appeared before, yet possesses the terrifying power of both the Lord of the Mountain Blowflower and the Lord of the Demons and Monsters!
"Hmm~"
"Don't you want to get up?"
"A little, but since you're getting up, Lord Aoba, I can only keep you company."
"If you're tired, rest here." Aoba smiled helplessly when he saw the redness and swelling on Otome's body.
I was still trying too hard.
"Eh~ Does this mean Lord Aoba acknowledges me?"
Suddenly, Otome produced a folding fan from who-knows-where, covering the lower half of her face, revealing only a pair of cunning eyes.
Even though their relationship had been the same in the past, she still noticed that Aoba's attitude towards her seemed to have changed a little.
Have they become...closer?
"Don't overthink it..." Aoba got up and fussed over her three fluffy tails for a while, when she suddenly touched something.
"And this thing, Yue-yi/first-release, keep it safe."
Fragments of the Shikon Jewel.
Aoba was quite aware that this thing in Inuyasha seemed to have the ability to grant wishes.
However, what was inside Otome's body before was a corrupted fragment of the Shikon Jewel.
According to Aoba's own understanding, the Shikon Jewel can at most be considered a very low-end version of the Holy Grail.
It can only satisfy desires, not wishes.
In the process of fulfilling desires, the soul becomes trapped inside the jade.
But the fragments before him seemed to have satisfied some of Aoba's desires, or rather, obsessions.
He wanted to become stronger, so the Shikon Jewel gave him a universal experience pack with all skills.
He didn't even pay any price. (Read thrilling novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
This doesn't align with his understanding of the Shikon Jewel.
Or perhaps it was the system's ability that completely purified the Shikon Jewel into a wish-granting machine.
Even though this fragment has already served its purpose, it should still be effective if worn on the body for an extended period.
"A fragment of the Shikon Jewel..."
Seeing this, Yamabuki Otome hesitated for a moment before accepting the item.
"I will keep it safe, Lord Aoba."
"Don't be so serious, this thing isn't as scary as you think."
Aoba chuckled as she stood up.
Standing by the window, I looked out at the boundless rain curtain.
"The rain seems to be getting heavier again."
he muttered.
I had a bad feeling.
This may also be an effect of divine gifts.
A glint suddenly flashed in Aoba's eyes as he considered a certain possibility.
At that moment, lightning flashed outside.
That moment.
All the information connected in Aoba's mind.
His figure became increasingly upright.
Simply by standing there, she attracted all of Yamabuki Otome's attention.
"Otome."
"I'm here."
"Send messages to the Possum Group and the Oni Spider Group, and notify all members of the Hundred Demons Group in District 20 to proceed to Toyama Park immediately."
The words fell.
jingle--!
Aoba's phone rang.
"Damn it, Aoba!"
On the other end of the phone, a familiar, sharp voice rang out: "If you can't even manage your own subordinates, what kind of monster commander are you!"
"I really can't protect you this time!"
The rambling words made Qingye's expression even calmer.
Before Tornado could finish speaking, a deep, weathered male voice joined in:
“Mr. Aoba, I am Bang.”
"The inspection team of the Prosecutor's Office discovered that members of your Hundred Demon Group are attacking humans near Toyama Park. This matter may require your personal intervention."
Upon hearing Bang's voice, Qingyi Qiliu Yisan Er Jiu t Emu Ye finally regained her composure:
"Mr. Bang, are you really a member of the Hundred Demons Group?"
"We have confirmed that the video we sent is indeed from a monster registered with the Hundred Demons Group, and we have notified the nearby Sekirei Punishment Force to go there."
Bang watched the crazed monster in the video, and a serious look appeared in his eyes. He said a few more words:
"There may be someone else behind this incident. We hope Mr. Aoba can cooperate with our investigation for the time being."
"...No problem, Mr. Bang, see you at Toyama Park."
hang up the phone.
Aoba gazed at the rain and exhaled deeply.
Knew it!
Trouble still came.
Behind her, the maiden, who had been prepared all along, took out a wide robe with a black background and gilded gold trim.
It's the same one Aoba wore last time.
"Lord Aoba."
At this moment, Yamabuki Otome was no longer the demure young girl she had been just moments before; her fox-like eyes were now filled with respect and sharpness.
"Let's go."
"Yes!"
The two went downstairs.
"Hey~ Manager, what's going on here..."
Thor stood in front of the bar, looking curiously at the notes and accounts that Aoba had once organized.
"Thor, I have to leave for a while."
Aoba smiled and looked at Thor, "So, tonight's work is finished early."
"Eh?!"
Ending early!?
Thor stared wide-eyed at the clothes Aoba had changed into, then at Otome who was half a step behind him.
He asked suspiciously, "Manager, do you need any help?"
"I'm also very good at fighting."
