A journey through the underworld, starting from the Tsubakihara family.

"Tsubakihara Nina: +1"

"Makoto Jingu: +1"

"Tsubakihara Mira: Hehe, Mom is very happy~"

……

Just as the family of four was chatting happily, Makoto Jingu suddenly heard the slightly playful laughter of two girls.

"Hehe, finally got rid of those idiots."

"The human city is just ahead, I'm going to go in and have some fun."

Human beings, an interesting word.

Jingu Makoto stopped and turned to look at the source of the sound.

From the woods not far away, two girls who looked like they were still quite young emerged, covered in dust and looking travel-worn.

The girl on the left has purple twin ponytails and small devil horns on her head.

[Name: Lilim]

[Personality: Easygoing, sissy]

[Hobbies: Using clever tricks, lying down]

【Is it brand new: yes】

[Description: A low-ranking succubus from the demon realm who appears in the human world. She doesn't dwell on the past and only wants a peaceful life. When she needs to do something, she tries to solve problems without much effort, using clever tricks. She is a typical demon who prioritizes her own desires.]

The girl on the right has long purple hair and two pairs of wings on her back.

Name: Minasaki

[Personality: Possessive, sissy]

Hobby: Lying

【Is it brand new: yes】

[Description: A Yatagarasu girl with crow wings on her back. She enjoys causing trouble with Lilim and will stop at nothing to get what she wants.]

Hey, isn't this the animal duo from Taimanin?

Jingu Makoto narrowed his eyes, pondering how to deal with these two guys.

At the same time, Lilim and Minasaki on the opposite side also noticed him.

The two huddled together and lowered their voices.

"Minasaki, this older brother is really handsome." Lilim nudged her companion with her elbow.

"What, Lilim's interested?" Minasaki glanced at her.

"No. I was thinking, we just escaped and we don't have a single penny on us. Maybe we should ask this older brother for help?"

"Then it's up to you, Lilim."

The entire conversation between the two reached Makoto Jingu's ears, and his expression became somewhat strange.

So you think I'm an ATM?

Just then, footsteps and rough shouts came from the woods behind them.

"We've found them!"

"Damn brat, you'd better be prepared!"

Several humanoid demons, exuding an ominous aura, rushed out, wielding fine weapons and fixing their fierce gazes on Lilim and her companion.

Damn it, this is bad.

Lilim and Minasaki's expressions changed drastically.

Minasaki reacted extremely quickly, grabbing Lilim's hand and rushing behind Jingu Makoto like lightning.

She hid behind Shingu Makoto, leaned out halfway, and shouted to the demons, "Boss, I've brought everything you asked for."

Lilim instantly understood and hid as well. Then, she peeked out from the other side and made a face at the demons: "Hmph, this is our boss. Trash like you can be crushed with a single finger of his!"

"Ha, so it's you who let these two brats steal!"

The demons, provoked by the two brats, were so angry their faces contorted. One by one, they charged towards Shingu Makoto in a rage.

The two brats, having finished causing trouble, simply ran away in a flash.

Chapter 93 Selling Fee

Facing the charging demons, Shingu Makoto slowly raised his right hand. The Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlet covered it, radiating a red light.

Then he held up one finger.

The next second, a devastating red energy laser filled the demons' entire field of vision.

Although those two girls were full of lies, they were right about one thing: he could indeed crush those ragtag soldiers with a single finger.

After completely evaporating the demons, Shingu Makoto turned around, looking at the two black dots that were almost disappearing on the horizon, a dangerous smile curving his lips.

"Hmph, want to run away?"

……

In a clothing store in Maesaki City, Lilim and Minasaki were happily picking out clothes.

"Minasaki, Minasaki, what do you think of this dress?"

Accompanied by the girl's cheerful voice, Lilim skipped out of the dressing room.

She changed into a white shirt, with a blue tie casually tied at the collar.

The hem of her dark blue pleated skirt fluttered playfully, perfectly complementing her white socks and her lively purple hair.

The pink little devil horns on her head swayed gently with her movements, giving her a sweet, spicy, and slightly rebellious look.

Before Minasaki could even comment, a female shop assistant approached, her eyes wide with amazement: "Miss, this dress is practically tailor-made for you! It suits your style perfectly!"

"Really? Is it really that beautiful?" Lilim's eyes sparkled, slightly dazed by the compliment.

She, a succubus who was ostracized by her own kind in the demon realm every day, had never experienced being admired like this before.

Is this the human world? Everyone speaks so kindly. I love it here!

"How much? I'll take this dress!" Lilim blurted out impulsively.

Minasaki, standing next to him, covered his face, unable to bear watching any longer. This fool, he's gotten carried away again.

"Thank you for your kind offer, five hundred dragon coins."

“Okay, uh…” Lilim reached into her pocket, only to find nothing. Her hot-blooded mind instantly sobered up.

She had come here illegally and didn't have a single coin of human currency on her.

But she really liked the dress, so—

A sweet smile spread across Lilim's face as she turned to the shop assistant, her voice soft and sweet: "Miss..."

The female shop assistant waiting nearby looked at her upon hearing the sound, and their eyes met.

A pink light, imperceptible to most, flashed in Lilim's eyes. The shop assistant paused, then her eyes were also captivated by the alluring pink heart.

Seeing this, Lilim excitedly waved her little fist.

It worked! Although it was the worst of the bunch, it was more than enough to deal with an ordinary human.

After changing back into her original clothes, Lilim smiled and said, "Miss, can you pack this for me?"

"Idiot Lilim, only now do you realize you have no money?" Minasaki sneered mockingly from the side.

"Tch, I've already taken care of that." Lilim puffed out her chest defiantly.

Then, as if remembering something, she urged, "Minasaki, is there anything else you like? If so, pick it out quickly, we should go eat now."

"Where should we eat?" A familiar male voice came from behind.

"Of course, we'll find the most expensive one, uh..." The two of them realized something was wrong at the same time and turned around abruptly to look behind them.

At the shop entrance, Jingu Makoto leaned against the door frame, watching the two kids with a kind smile on his face.

"Ha...haha, isn't this the boss?" Lilim chuckled dryly twice, then quickly exchanged glances with Minasaki.

'Oh no, how did he find us?'

'How should I know? Let's see what he's up to first.'

Jingu Makoto completely ignored their little antics, casually found a chair, sat down, and said with narrowed eyes, "Of course we're here to collect debts."

“Debt? We don’t think we owe you anything, boss.” Minasaki immediately became wary.

As a bit of a penny-pincher, she quickly thought of the spoils she and Lilim had stolen from the pursuers.

This guy probably came for those things, huh? He'll never hand over what he's got his hands on.

Thinking this, Minasaki gave Lilim a wink.

"Didn't I stop the demons chasing you? How about we settle the fee? My services are very expensive." Shingu Makoto chuckled, looking at the two men's wary expressions.

"How much...?"

"Hmm, five million dragon coins, I guess." Shingu Makoto casually gave a number.

"Ha!" Lilim's head buzzed when she heard this astronomical figure, and she almost fainted.

My outfit only cost five hundred, and he's asking for five million? That's robbery!

Lilim's pink demon horns swayed slightly, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

Minasaki understood immediately, and his two pairs of crow wings fluttered gently behind him.

The two took a step forward in unison, their gazes fixed firmly on Jingu Makoto.

"Big brother, look at us."

Lilim's voice became sweet and cloying, and pink magic spread from her eyes like a thin mist, carrying a sweet fragrance that drifted straight toward Makoto Jingu.

"Yes, big brother, we're so cute, can't you give us a discount?"

Minasaki echoed this, and used the Yatagarasu clan's unique binding technique, causing an invisible ripple to appear in the air.

As the two forces intertwined, the smile on Jingu Makoto's face froze instantly, and his eyes gradually became empty and confused.

He sat blankly in the chair, as if he had become a puppet without a soul.

"Hehe, I did it!" Lilim laughed triumphantly and gave Minasaki a victory sign.

"Hmph, how could a human of this caliber possibly withstand the combined might of the two of us?" Minasaki put his hands on his hips, raised his delicate chin, and his face was full of pride that "everything is under control."

She strolled up to Makoto Jingu and poked his cheek with her finger.

"Hey, you idiot human, can you hear me?"

Makoto Jingu did not react at all.

"Great! Minasaki, what should we do now?" Lilim excitedly came over.

Minasaki grinned mischievously and pulled out a black marker from somewhere.

"Of course, we'll teach him a lesson he'll never forget. He dared to blackmail us, so we'll draw a big turtle on his face!"

“Ugh, drawing a turtle is so unoriginal.” Lilim pouted and offered her own idea, “Why not write ‘Lilim’s most loyal servant’ on his forehead!”

"No, if I'm going to write it, it should be 'Lord Minasaki's possessions'!"

"mine!"

"mine!"

The two little devils started arguing as if no one else was around, completely unaware that the corners of Jingu Makoto's mouth were subtly curving upwards under the "control" in front of him.

In the end, Lilim beat her to it. She took a marker, stood on tiptoe, and excitedly prepared to draw on Jingu Makoto's face.

"It's decided! You'll be my servant!"

However, before her pen could even touch her skin, a hand grabbed her wrist with an irresistible force.
