Chapter 207: Outer God Food

I arrived at the Ichijo residence and had to make dinner per Lin Ruoxi's request.

Even the silent Xiao Bai had been looking forward to my arrival to taste my food.

"You could become a professional chef" – Lin Ruoxi spoke with satisfaction as she ate soup whose name I don't even know, but her housekeeper taught me this recipe.

I was surprised to find out that this woman's favorite food is cheap street stall-style food rather than expensive fancy food, now we have one thing in common.

"Young master is impressive" – An elderly woman sighed in admiration as she ate her portion.

This woman is Wang Yulan, my wife's housekeeper and from what I have seen, this woman is as her second mother.

Navi said it's a tragedy that this woman already looks like an old lady or it would be fun to have another mother-daughter package. Although the idiot didn't insist on adding the housekeeper to my harem, according to my investigation Lin Ruoxi's mother is beautiful which brought trouble with the flying idiot.

I sighed. – "Don't call me young master, I don't want to be comparable to spoiled idiots with permissive parents"

The housekeeper lightly smiled at Lin Ruoxi. – "The lady's husband is quite direct"

Lin Ruoxi lightly snorted to hide her embarrassment, this woman is more innocent than a high school girl when it comes to romance.

"I didn't think to see you like this" – A beautiful woman smiled wryly at Lin Ruoxi's attitude.

This woman is called Mo Qianni, my wife's best friend.

When Lin Ruoxi formed a branch of her company in Japan, she brought in some of her most trusted employees including this woman.

When the employees were escorted to secure areas by the yakuza, Mo Qianni and the housekeeper were brought to the Ichijo residence as they will be living together with Lin Ruoxi to make my wife feel more comfortable as she is prohibited from leaving the residence until things stabilize.

Humans who know freedom will feel burdened by being locked up so I have to give my wife a false sense of freedom at least until the problems with China's prominent families subside.

"On the other hand, I'm surprised that you married a teenager" – Mo Qianni looked at me strangely since I'm Luis now.

I shrugged and continued eating.

At the end of the meal, I served zongzi, a Chinese dish that is sticky rice balls.

Lin Ruoxi's eyes practically sparkled at the sight of the dish, it's her favorite food.

"All that fat goes to her breasts... It's not fair..." - Rushia's somber murmur echoed in my mind.

This food is too heavy for dinner and can cause indigestion, but I served a genetically modified tea that supports healthy digestion.

In Gaia, supernatural objects are restricted, but Alaya underestimates technology too much, so products based on pure science are not restricted.

When I learned this I had Shiguma prepare pure science products and artifacts like gene enhancement injections which I will then give to my subordinates.

I am also preparing a supercomputer so that Monika can access the internet of this world, but I am still checking that there are no artificial intelligences capable of harming my virtual wife.

While the women ate, I asked Lin Ruoxi how her day was and listened quietly just talking when she asked for my opinion.

This helps show that I am interested in her goals by increasing emotional closeness.

She talked to me about how her company works and although I honestly don't care about that since I hate business and politics, I heard something unpleasant.

"Tch, those idiots keep calling even though we changed the office phone number" – Mo Qianni snorted in extreme disgust.

I raised an eyebrow. – "Is anyone causing trouble?"

Lin Ruoxi sighed. – "Since we arrived we have sought commercial alliances, but very few companies have agreed to collaborate with us due to some problems…"

Lin Ruoxi didn't seem to want to talk about her problems so I did the most reasonable thing, I poured alcohol to get information.

Since my psychological state is solid when I want to get information, the drink did not make me lose my self-control and after several drinks, I understood the situation.

"Jade-skinned beauties causing trouble because idiots covet such beauty, business as usual" – System Goddess sighed in my mind.

Arisa sighed. – "I don't like cultivation novels, but I understand that nationalism is normal in those novels, so we Japanese are portrayed as racists… Although I can't deny that there are many racists among the Japanese… How complicated"

"Is there racism between humans?" - Coco asked in disbelief. – "I thought humans only discriminated against other species…"

"Humans are idiots, they will always look for an enemy to attack, even if said enemy is themselves" - I sighed internally.

"That's why senpai is human, because senpai is an idiot" - BB nodded with false wisdom.

Whatever…

A major company has been putting pressure on my wife's company ever since they came to Japan.

Although this company is not the most important in Japan, they have great support, so other companies do not want to have problems with that group.

That company did these stupid things because a person in authority covets the body of my wife's best friend...

Plot armor isn't always good.

Sexual favors are not uncommon among big businesses as beautiful girls are sometimes used to enhance relationships between business partners.

Although Lin Ruoxi is more beautiful than Mo Qianni, Lin Ruoxi has a prestigious position so it is a bad idea to harass her unless the harasser has a backer capable of putting pressure on one of the most successful companies in China.

Lin Ruoxi does not use treacherous and immoral methods in her company so she refused to sacrifice her friend which caused the discontent of the other group.

The enemy company is not that important, the problem is that the owner of the other company wanted to use Mo Qianni to please his boss, a family with power in the government of Japan.

For several years now, the Ichijo family has gathered information from other factions to establish alliances and destroy troublesome groups.

Normally attacking that family can bring trouble with the other influential forces in Japan, but the family that has caused trouble for my wife is on the list of troublesome groups that need to be investigated.

In a civilized society, it is not enough to hate someone to kill them, the appropriate thing is to have a clear justification so that other people do not see you as an irrational enemy, and now I have a just cause to cut off heads...

When Lin Ruoxi and Mo Qianni fell asleep, I had the housekeeper take care of both women and called Xiao Bai to come with me to see Mr. Ichijo.

"What's up boy?" – Mr. Ichijo was drinking tea while he looked at the moon, every night he does this while he thinks of his late wife.

"I'm going to investigate the Okawa family" - I sighed.

Mr. Ichijo frowned. – "The Okawa family has a lot of influence in politics so that will be a problem…"

I nodded. – "I know, but I am not going to directly attack the Okawa family, as long as we deal with their supernatural allies it will be easier to deal with them"

Mr. Ichijo drank his tea. – "The Yamata Sect is the main armed force of the Okawa family, are you going to start with them?"

I nodded. – "I just found out that a company affiliated with the Okawa family has been attacking my wife's business, so this will serve as a pretext to investigate the enemy's territory"

Mr. Ichijo sighed. – "Boy, although a personal conflict justifies you hitting some idiots, the Yamata Sect is still part of Japan's forces so attacking them without evidence will bring problems to our family"

I smiled. – "There is evidence that they have caused problems, I just have to confirm that evidence, and the other families will support us in this"

Mr. Ichijo thought about it for a moment and nodded. – "I think you have a plan…"

I smiled silently as I took a bell for cats out of my pocket.

Mr. Ichijo smiled wryly. – "You remind me of my younger self… Fine, Ryunosuke will accompany you in case a fight arises, but remember, normal weapons are for killing normal humans and supernatural abilities are for killing supernatural enemies"

I nodded and left together with Xiao Bai.

"Also watch your back, although we now have an alliance with The Beehive Gang, some of their more impulsive subordinates may try to attack you when you're busy fighting other enemies" – Mr. Ichijo gave me one last reminder. – "Boy, do not hold back, I will avoid legal problems"

Mr. Ichijo didn't put it into words, but it's obvious that he wants to destroy the Okawa family since they have been causing problems for the Ichijo family by creating new laws that harm the yakuza business.

This may sound good since we are gangsters, but the truth is that the Ichijo family has been protecting ordinary people while the Okawa family has been trying to establish a black market of child prostitution, they have even kept in force the law of sexual consent in children of 13 years.

"I understand" – I nodded and went to the parking lot of the residence where a group of 10 men was already waiting for me.

"Boy, at least let me sleep in peace" – A man with a scar on his face yawned as he stretched.

I rolled my eyes. – "You stink of alcohol, just admit that you were getting drunk"

Ryunosuke smiled nonchalantly. – "It is not my fault, the beer you made is too good… Hey, can you make more? Today we had the day off so we had a little party and we almost finished what you prepared…"

I delivered enough beer to intoxicate a football stadium, but these idiots almost finished it in one day….

I sighed. - "I'll think about it"

I got into a car and Xiao Bai sat next to me.

"For now you will act as my secretary and your mission is to observe any evidence of human experiments or illegal arms trade" - I took out special glasses and handed them to my silent wife. – "These glasses have thermal vision, night vision, and protection against stunning lights, they also have a high definition camera so you can record the evidence… If a fight starts, do not intervene and focus on recording the evidence"

Xiao Bai nodded.

Ever since I made her my wife I gave her a lot of supernatural and high-tech equipment.

Although in direct combat she is weaker than Tsugumi, her specialty is espionage, stealth assassination, and information gathering so she will help me record evidence to justify the attack against the Yamata Sect.

There is evidence that the Yamata Sect has conducted human experiments which are illegal in Japan.

Although Alaya doesn't care about these matters, if I can prove that those experiments involve supernatural factors and are harmful to humanity then the Ichijo family will benefit from Alaya.

In case the Yamata Sect is innocent I prepared some of my failed experiments in my Rasen Dimension to plant evidence.

Although the Yamata Sect is in the neighboring city, it's already night and there aren't many cars on the streets so we quickly arrived at the place.

The supernatural territories are divided into different areas and although the Ichijo family controls 90% of Japan's yakuza being one of the most important groups in all of Japan, the supernatural territory controlled by the Ichijo family is limited to a single city.

Fortunately, this city does not have an Administrator so it is a gray area without an owner that is being fought over by various groups, so it is normal for supernatural organizations to fight from time to time.

It is because of these kinds of conflicts that Japan's supernatural society has failed to develop, and that is why Mr. Ichijo wants to unify the country's important families.

The car turned away from the urban area and we entered a neglected road that passed through the forest.

We finally arrived in front of the territory of the Yamata Sect, a town cut off from society. This group specializes in the use of ninjutsu and spirit puppets, thus following shinobi traditions.

Arriving in front of town I saw a group of five people waiting for us with cordial and respectful expressions.

Mr. Ichijo called the Yamata Sect to report that a representative from the Ichijo family would be visiting them to deal with a possible misunderstanding that needs to be settled discreetly.

I got out of the car while Xiao Bai walked behind me as my assistant.

"Ichijo-sama, it is an honor for us to have you here" – An old man with a simple appearance greeted me respectfully.

I am currently Seiji so I smiled friendly while my eyes showed a subtle trace of cruelty similar to a treacherous snake. – "I am sorry to arrive at this hour, but some problematic situations arose that I would like to discuss with the leader of the Yamata Sect"

The old man looked a little worried, but he nodded. – "Okawa-sama will see you in a moment, meanwhile, Ichijo-sama can wait for him, would you like something to drink?"

The old man took me to the Yamata Sect leader's main house.

Along the way, I felt that several people were watching my group's every move. Although most of the looks were wary, some people were looking at us with hostility while hiding their intentions to kill us.

The Yamata Sect has used barriers to protect and isolate the main buildings, but my sense of smell detected the putrid odor of hatred, suffering, and agony.

Although there were no ghosts haunting this place, the divinities of Kon and Rushia allowed me to feel that somewhere in this town there are a lot of souls being tortured.

I entered the leader's residence and waited patiently with my companions.

They served us drinks and food to wait.

The subordinates of the Ichijo family are known to be carefree idiots so they started eating like uncivilized animals without caring about appearances.

Although this damages the reputation of the Ichijo family, it has also caused the enemies to underestimate them and this is how Mr. Ichijo was able to trick and kill many of his enemies.

The food had no poison, hallucinogens, or other drugs, but the ingredients had medicinal effects that enhance vitality, euphoria, and happiness.

Although this is a good thing for the body, using these ingredients at a time like this only means that the Yamata Sect wants us to lower our guard to try to deceive us or for an ambush...

Even though the yakuza were enjoying themselves like idiots, they all remained vigilant as they understand how dangerous it is to let your guard down in enemy territory.

After a few minutes, some beautiful women arrived to join us, turning the waiting moment into a small party.

While the women were focused on entertaining us, I made Ortro turn into an ant-sized dog, then covered her with [Anti-Rasen] and Tsubaki used 'Resonance' so that Ortro could use the 'Prankster Escape' skill from BB.

Ortro came out of my body through the sole of my shoe and with the BB's skill, she went through the Tatami floor that had supernatural defenses.

I connected my senses with Ortro as she searched for the place where the smell of despair was coming from.

Ortro continued to descend underground and several meters below ground she found a secret passage that was protected by a powerful spiritual barrier capable of obstructing the advancement of entities at the level of Coco and Rushia.

Ortro approached the barrier and opened her mouth from where several human hands came out and began to scratch the barrier.

The barrier was very powerful, but after 2 minutes Ortro made a tiny hole in the barrier that allowed him to enter the Yamata Sect's secret area.

"Hey Listen! This is similar to the time you found the albino loli! I bet you'll find another loli!"

I don't think fate is so uncreative...

The underground area was a laboratory divided into different sections.

In one area was a glass cage with Shinto talismans on the walls. This cage stored hundreds of cursed artifacts and evil spirits.

"Spiritual poison Gu that corrupts the heavens..." - System Goddess murmured in disbelief. – "Are there still people who prepare this thing?... This method is a waste of resources since the winning creature will have a life expectancy of fewer than two years and can only attack once... It makes me depressed to see how idiots waste materials so precious…"

If I am not mistaken, in China Gu poison is the accumulation of toxic plants and animals in a sealed jar, the creatures in the jar will kill each other, and finally, a creature whose poison is the most deadly and cruel will survive.

Doing that with evil spirits is an interesting idea, but if what the System Goddess says is true then this is not worth it, it is better to give the materials to her to obtain hundreds of cursed poisons...

In another section of the lab, there was something striking.

In a steel cage was a cute blonde little girl...

"Hey Listen! Pay me bitch, I was right!"

"I didn't accept the bet" - I sighed internally, stupid predictable plot...

Although the brat was as cute as a porcelain doll, there was something much more interesting...

[System Notification: The energy 'Reader's Madness' has detected a source of Madness. The 'Reader's Madness' energy is being stimulated. Skills related to 'Reader's Madness' energy will double in effectiveness while the Madness source is nearby]

"Senpai, quickly, let's take that loli with us! With her blood and soul I can begin to rebuild my body!" – BB's eyes turned red as blood. – "I did not expect to see a human who's existence could stimulate the Madness energy… This loli is a stimulant for us outer gods, a food high in vitamins…"

"You can't eat that girl" – Tsubaki intervened. – "Her soul is full of loneliness and has not been corrupted by evil"

BB frowned, but sighed. – "Just a small piece of her soul, I do not ask for much…"

Tsubaki narrowed her eyes stubbornly, she doesn't want to see an innocent girl being mutilated just because of BB's greed.

"... It smells good..." – Ortro was salivating as he looked at the girl, if it wasn't for the fact that I didn't give her the order, she would have already started eating the girl.

"You can't hurt that loli!" – Arisa panicked noticing the behavior of the two Outer Goddesses. – "Ray will be in Onii-chan's harem, they can't hurt her!"

Ray?

Through Ortro's eyes I used [Character Sheet].

[Name: Rachel Gardner

Origin: Satsuriku no Tenshi

Categories: Woman. Loli. Protagonist]

Her character sheet doesn't talk about something special so her ability must be influenced by the mix of stories...

"Do you know that girl?" - I sighed internally.

"She comes from a video game of lunatic that was later adapted into an anime" - Arisa nodded. – "She is a tragic girl and I sympathized a lot with her when I played the game although I admit that she is crazy… Onii-chan, if you save her she will be very loyal to you and she will see you as her god"

More tragic women for the list…

"For now no one will eat that brat, first we must check that her ability to stimulate Madness does not increase the attacks of dementia or it will be a problem if you lose control" - I kept looking at the blonde girl.

Even I am feeling the instinctive desire to devour her in a literal sense...

"Okay" – BB sighed with disappointment. – "Senpai, if you add this loli to the harem then I will only extract small portions of blood without damaging her soul, this will delay my resurrection, but senpai is a hopeless lolicon so I have already resigned myself"

I ignored BB's bullshit and kept pretending I'm getting distracted by the little party.

Now I just have to wait for an opportunity to justify the destruction of this group of idiots...
