“I love Kyubey the most!”
On the balcony, Satou’s pink soul gem had fallen onto the floor, but the pink-haired girl with the bun hairstyle didn’t go to pick it up; instead, the moment her wish was granted, she embraced Kyubey.
“Let, let go!”
The thing Kyubey feared most had happened; it had no way to interrupt a wish that had already begun to be realized.
If it had known Satou was going to make such a wish, it should have asked for clarification first.
Now, Satou was holding Kyubey tightly, her hollow eyes filled with love.
The wish was fulfilled; Satou had fallen in love with Kyubey.
She rubbed her cheek against Kyubey incessantly.
With lines of frustration on its head, Kyubey struggled to break free from Satou’s embrace:
“Let go!
You’re going to strangle me!”
“I’m sorry.”
With a sweet smile on her face, Satou carefully placed Kyubey on the ground, then pressed her palms together in apology:
“I’m sorry, Kyubey, I didn’t mean to!”
“Phew…
Pick up your soul gem.
From now on, this thing is your life.
You can lose anyone, but you cannot lose it.” Kyubey pointed at the pink gem on the floor and said.
“Is Kyubey-kun worried about me?
I’m so happy~”
Satou took Kyubey’s instruction as a bond between lovers.
She picked up the gem, tucked it into her pocket, and then bent down to pick up Kyubey.
Kyubey immediately dodged: “I can walk myself, there’s no need to carry me.”
“Is Kyubey-kun shy?”
Satou covered her face, giggling foolishly, and opened the door behind her for Kyubey:
“Please, come in!
Kyubey.”
Although Kyubey wanted to leave right now, it knew it couldn’t escape from under Satou’s nose, so it obediently went inside.
It had really shot itself in the foot this time; it knew she was an eccentric, but how could she be this eccentric?
What kind of normal girl would confess her love to a Kyubey?
“It stinks~”
Kyubey’s sense of smell was also very keen, especially with a human soul inside its body.
Upon entering the room, it smelled an indescribable stench.
It was like the smell of rotten stinky tofu mixed with canned herring.
The living room looked quite clean, so the source of the smell went without saying.
“Does the house smell bad?”
Satou was used to it, but seeing Kyubey looking unbearable, she picked it up without a word and went to knock on the door of a room.
Satou’s aunt was an adult woman who looked seventy percent similar to Satou, with bandages on her face.
Upon seeing her aunt, Satou’s expression changed instantly.
Her gentle, warm smile faded, her face became expressionless, and she spoke without any politeness:
“I didn’t care what you did before, and I wouldn’t care if you died outside, but from now on, clean your room until it’s spotless.
There must not be any unpleasant smells.”
“Do not bring those disgusting men back home, or I will kill you.”
This aunt was the main culprit leading Satou toward extreme love.
However, unlike Satou’s extremely selfish love, she advocated for selfless, devoted love.
Although pitiful, this was not an excuse for her later killing her own good friend, slaughtering innocent people, and imprisoning others.
As expected, deep down she was still that selfish Satou, it’s just that she showed a different side when treating herself.
“Oh?
Does Satou-chan have a boyfriend she likes and wants to bring home?” The aunt clearly couldn’t see Kyubey, but she keenly sensed the change in Satou.
“It has nothing to do with you, you just need to do as I say.” Satou was blunt with her, even saying that as long as it was for the sake of her love, anyone could be sacrificed.
“Hai~ I understand.
Satou-chan has found her own love, I will clean up the room~”
The aunt still had that expression with a constant smile, but no matter how one looked at it, it was creepy.
She walked out of the room and, for the first time in a long while, picked up a broom and mop to start cleaning the room she hadn’t tidied in ages.
Seeing that her aunt was really cleaning the room, Satou held Kyubey and turned back to her own room.
“There will never be a bad smell in the house again.
Is there anything else that isn’t good?
I can change anything.”
In front of Kyubey, Satou turned back into a pure-hearted girl, her eyes sparkling with life, her smile as sweet as sugar.
“No, nothing else.
Satou, please don’t kill people at will from now on, okay?”
Watching anime before was one thing, but now seeing Satou threaten the aunt who raised her just because of one sentence from it, and even wanting to kill her, made it feel a chill all over its body.
“Mm, as long as no one hurts Kyubey-kun, I won’t kill anyone.” Satou nodded without hesitation.
“Kyubey-kun, let’s go take a bath together!” Satou held Kyubey and walked out of the room.
“What?
No!
Put me down immediately!” Kyubey’s limbs twitched.
It hadn’t expected that after turning into Kyubey, it would be able to enjoy benefits it couldn’t enjoy in its past life.
But it didn’t want to enjoy this kind of benefit!
“It’s alright, Kyubey, you don’t need to be shy in front of me.”
“No!!!”
Anteiku
In the Anteiku, which had long since closed for the day, Touka was still cooking in the kitchen, making food for everyone in the shop.
Her uncle, Yomo Renji, had also come, eating meatballs, rice, and drinking miso soup, feasting heartily.
“So this is what pork and vegetables taste like?
Humans really live too happily!”
Yomo Renji laughed happily, tears in the corners of his eyes, his mouth still chewing incessantly.
“Eat slowly, there’s plenty more in the kitchen.”
Touka, who had transitioned into a cook, served the group another vegetable dish.
After working for over an hour, she finally took off her apron and joined the meal.
“Touka, can Ghouls only eat food prepared by your hands?”
After Yomo Renji had eaten and drunk his fill, he asked for a bottle of beer.
The beer, which he once couldn’t consume, left an endless aftertaste in his stomach, and only then did he remember the main business.
“Yes, because this is an ability I obtained by making a wish.” Touka nodded.
“Magical Girl…
If only I were a girl too.” Yomo Renji suddenly sighed.
Touka had an expression of not wanting to know this person: “You’re already over forty; even if you were a girl, you wouldn’t be a ‘girl’ (maiden).”
“Renji, how do you feel after eating the food Touka made?” Yoshimura asked at this moment.
“What feeling?”
Yomo Renji finally sensed his own body and said in surprise: “It seems like the RC cells in my body have increased a bit?”
The growth speed of his Kagune shocked him greatly: “No, it’s not just a bit, it’s a lot!”
“As expected, the food Touka makes not only allows us to eat human food but also replenishes the RC cells in our bodies.” Yoshimura confirmed this thought.
“It’s truly incredible…
This is my current ability.” Touka gained a new understanding of what it meant to be a Magical Girl.
“So, this is the confidence behind your decision to announce the expulsion of all man-eating Ghouls?”
Yomo Renji didn’t just come to Anteiku for food; he came more because he heard that Anteiku had launched human delicacies that Ghouls could also eat.
That’s right, just the day after she became a Magical Girl, Anteiku, which had always only served coffee, launched human delicacies.
They even posted an announcement on the dark web exclusive to Ghouls, saying that Ghouls could eat them too.
Once there was a first, there was a second.
In just one day, Ghouls in the nearby area knew that Anteiku had human delicacies that Ghouls could eat.
Then, just today, Anteiku issued another announcement that eating humans within the 20th Ward was prohibited.
Once discovered, they would be immediately expelled.
This tough style was completely different from the style Anteiku used to have.
“In the past, when there was no choice but to eat humans, it was understandable.
But now, when one can avoid eating humans and still chooses to feed on them, that is just being an incorrigible idiot.”
Touka was full of righteousness; this was the goal she had set for herself after becoming a Magical Girl.
Using her own abilities to truly integrate Ghouls into human society.
“You all had better keep a low profile recently, otherwise you will attract some unnecessary attention.” Yomo Renji gave a reminder.
“Thank you for the reminder, Renji, we will be careful recently.” Yoshimura thought of the organization he had once been a part of and still felt lingering fear.
If they found out about Touka’s ability, they would absolutely spare no cost to capture and kill her.
