Morning...
Kaito was late.
His phone kept buzzing frantically with Team Leader calls. Kaito got up, glanced at it, and quite arrogantly replied directly: I quit, goodbye! I don't even want half a month's salary!.
Anyway, there weren't many of his personal belongings at the company. As for handing over work, that was even funnier. What important work did an intern have?
Basically, it was all running errands and assisting senior employees. Trying to participate in projects was like trying to take money from them, so he didn't get any commissions anyway.
Besides, even for a normal resignation, he'd have to write a resignation report (not an application, which could get held up), and then endure until the end of next month. Who would want that!
After saying this, Kaito went back to sleep, reaching out again to hold his Guardian Deity Baal tight.
"..."
"..."
Stare —
"Yo, morning?"
"Master... I've called you many times already. Why is it that the more I called you, the tighter you held me? Could it be that Master has some serious illness?"
'Oh wow, Baal can even throw shade now.'
Alright, actually Kaito had woken up long ago. But since entering the chat group last night, his mentality had undergone a tiny little change, leading to the scene just now.
Money?
Not important anymore.
Woke up, so just keep sleeping. The important thing is holding Baal tight.
Because Baal was just too fragrant, too soft, too comfortable!
Last night, he had pleaded and convinced Baal to agree to sleep with him.
Perhaps it was because a master's command couldn't be refused, no matter how much Baal complained, she eventually had to agree, and also wouldn't become incorporeal and attach to him.
"Master... I think you... should find a suitable wife instead?"
"I am an archon. You and I are impossible."
'???'
He woke with a start again.
Kaito, who had planned to keep sleeping with his eyes closed, opened them. Looking at Baal's beautiful face before him, he thought of something and felt a bit crushed.
"You're not going to tell me I can't withstand the power within your body, are you?"
"Oh? Master, you know? Well, I am an archon after all, and Master is a mortal. You should understand that the mortal body cannot..."
"I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen!"
"???"
'Good grief, my master can even act cute and throw tantrums?'
'My esteemed master, although I already know how much you like me and that you're a full-blown lecher.'
'But!'
'I am ultimately an archon! If you try to take that step, ahead lies hell!'
'It's hell, you know!!'
'Super scary, understand!'
'You'll be annihilated, body and soul!!'
"As long as I get stronger, it'll be fine!"
"Huh? Master, you..."
"Baal, trust me, that day won't be too far off."
"Master, I am merely your Guardian Deity!!! You must respect my role and identity!!!"
Baal was completely speechless. Having ended up with a master like this, she suddenly felt these hundred years were going to be tough.
Yes, a hundred years.
In the information she received last night, if Kaito died a natural death, or died despite her inability to protect him, then she could return to her original time, back to Inazuma to be with her younger sister.
Even if she returned as a soul, not truly alive, at least being able to live with her sister would be fine.
But then again...
For some reason, she felt she might never be able to go back.
Was it an illusion?
Ah, it's not that she disliked Kaito.
On the contrary, she found Kaito interesting and handsome.
Accustomed to the ordinary people who were always respectful to her, now meeting a mortal who dared to be so bold with her, she instead gained some interest and novelty.
Besides, she was also quite interested in romance.
But still, there was that point.
Kaito was ultimately a mortal. Ordinary contact was fine, but going further...
Even if she was willing, Kaito wouldn't be able to withstand it...
"Alright, Baal, let's both get up. Time for breakfast."
"There's still some food in the fridge. I'm looking forward to the delicious meal you'll make."
Releasing his tight hold on Baal, Kaito got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. Baal, now freed, glanced at Kaito's back before heading to the kitchen to show off her skills.
Cooking?
In Inazuma, if she claimed second, no one would dare claim first!
Conversely, her younger sister was the same!
After Kaito finished washing up, he took his phone to the living room and started fiddling with the chat group.
He didn't check the group's situation first. Instead, he opened the Gacha interface and, after a cursory glance at the various cards that could enhance strength, he felt relieved.
Gacha, from low to high rank, from ordinary money and items to abilities, weapons, etc., everything was available.
So it was only a matter of time before he got stronger.
'Now, let's check the chat group. Time to say hello to everyone.'
Sure enough, someone was already chatting in the group. It seemed this group's activity level could be rated Lv. 3.
[Kamado Kie]: Although my family has moved to the town, the town seems quite unsafe too. I heard demons appear at night. I don't know what to do anymore.
[Misuzu]: Didn't you draw a superpower from the Gacha? When you encounter demons, just use your superpower to kill them.
[Kie]: That's true, but I'm not very good at fighting. The neighbors also said someone has gone missing these past few days.
[Shodai]: Your world is really dangerous then. Very powerful man-eating demons appear at night.
'Demons?'
'Kamado Kie was one of the members of the chat group, right?'
Probably due to different daily routines, she hadn't appeared last night. And because of the chat group, the Kamado family had already moved from the mountains to the town.
But in her world, Kibutsuji Muzan still existed.
And sure enough, not long after moving to the town, Demons were appearing.
Seeing their chat history, Kaito stroked his chin thoughtfully.
The plot was already somewhat different now. He needed to know how far the story had progressed for Tanjiro.
'But how should I ask without seeming abrupt?'
