Chapter 341: The Station to the Demon World!
Sunday morning.
The sky, as if washed by clear water, presented a transparent and distant azure blue. Wisps of thin clouds like smoke and gauze floated by, and the clear daylight poured down, outlining the forest of tall buildings, near and far, with exceptional clarity.
A white Nissan Patrol drove through the streets of Shibuya.
"Ding dong! You have arrived at your destination—Harajuku Station! This navigation has ended. Wishing you a pleasant life!"
The notification sound indicating the end of the navigation rang out in the car.
Sitting in the second row, Yusa, wearing a beige knit sweater paired with a black high-waisted A-line skirt and white sneakers, leaned forward, holding onto the driver's seat:
"Next, continue driving forward along this road for 300 meters, and you'll arrive at 'Neon Station'."
"Okay."
Ryohei responded.
Half a minute later—
"There's no road ahead."
He glanced at the rearview mirror and looked at Yusa.
"There is a road."
Yusa leaned back into her seat and said softly, "That wall ahead is fake. Just drive straight through, don't worry."
"Oh."
Ryohei naturally trusted Yusa. Without hesitation, he drove the car and "crashed" into it.
The space in front rippled like water!
Ryohei's vision blurred for a moment. When he came to his senses, a wide square suddenly burst into view!
Not far away was a magnificent building with a grey tone, blending ancient architectural elements with modern ones. On the roof stood three bright red characters—"Neon Station"!
"It's really a hidden world! Who would have thought there's such a station hidden in Shibuya, and only 300 meters from Harajuku Station!" Yurine, sitting in the passenger seat, looked out enthusiastically.
She came to learn the way since she was also going to the Demon World next weekend for fun.
"There's quite a lot of traffic here."
Ryohei followed the signs to the parking lot while glancing at the bizarre-looking demons coming out of the building not far away.
"Mmm... there's only one such station in the entirety of Japan, so the passenger flow is indeed significant," Yusa explained with a smile.
Soon—
Ryohei parked the car, and the group got out.
Those who came to see Yusa and Koji off were Ryohei, Yurine, and Pekola.
Originally, Lucoa was supposed to come too, but she was called away by Tohru at the last minute, saying she needed to brainstorm and use everyone's power to design a maid outfit suitable for Kobayashi.
Ryohei and Yurine were also invited—but because they had to see Yusa and Koji off, plus they wanted to learn the route in advance, they politely declined.
"..."
"Koji-kun and I need to pick up our tickets. Are you guys picking up your tickets too while we're at it?"
Yusa extended her slender white hand, took the suitcase from Ryohei, and asked.
"Yeah, let's pick them up."
Ryohei closed the trunk with a thud and nodded gently.
The tickets had naturally been booked in advance.
Of course, only for him and Yurine.
Lucoa and Pekola would turn into Ryohei's personal items when the time came, and he would carry them to the Demon World.
Hmm...
In a sense, it counted as fare evasion.
"Follow me."
Yusa pulled her suitcase, striding ahead with her long, snow-white legs to lead the way.
"..."
Along the way, they brushed past many demons.
Perhaps because Ryohei and Yurine's gazes were too direct, some demons would look back at them.
Some seemed to notice their human identity, showing expressions of surprise on their faces, but didn't do anything more.
Not entirely though—
A woman over 1.7 meters tall, with a pair of red goat horns, long red hair, fair skin, and a curvaceous figure—at least an E-cup powerhouse, but dressed extremely scantily—
Her upper body wore only a black and red bra, her lower body paired with black hot pants that used very little fabric. Her long, snow-white legs were wrapped in black ripped stockings, and she wore red high heels. Looking extremely sexy, she waved at Ryohei, who was looking curiously, and greeted him enthusiastically:
"Human boy, want to get to know each other?"
"No thanks, no thanks."
Ryohei's gaze swept over the red bat-like membrane wings on her back and the heart-shaped spade tail behind her butt, muttered "Succubus?" in his heart, and instinctively waved his hand.
"Alright then."
The suspected succubus lady shrugged lightly, didn't pester him, and walked away stylishly in her high heels.
"Human boy, want to get to know each other?"
Yurine reached out and pinched Ryohei's waist lightly, her voice deliberately sickly sweet.
"Didn't I refuse?" Ryohei raised his hand to protect his waist and turned his head with an innocent look.
"I didn't say you agreed either!"
Yurine put her hands behind her back, tilted her head, her expression also quite innocent.
Her acting skills were no less than some veteran actors!
"Then why did you pinch me?"
Ryohei leaned back, amused and exasperated.
"Because Ryohei-kun was staring at her unblinkingly just now; your eyes were practically glued to her..."
Yurine snorted righteously: "I'm a little jealous!"
"Pervert."
Pekola, who had been quietly following by the side, spoke up unexpectedly, giving Ryohei a precise stab.
Yusa, walking ahead with her suitcase, turned back and laughed, "As expected, men are more interested in succubi?"
"I'm not, I didn't!"
Ryohei waved his hands repeatedly, denying it vehemently. To increase the credibility and persuasiveness of his words, he added, "It's just my first time seeing one; it's inevitable to be a little curious and take a second look."
"Why wasn't I curious?" Yurine retorted.
"You contrarian!" Ryohei raised his hand and pinched her smooth, collagen-rich cheek.
"..."
While talking, they arrived at the ticketing area.
Ryohei glanced around curiously and said with surprise, "It feels similar to the human side..."
There were both manned ticket windows and self-service ticket machines.
"Many things in the Demon World are learned from the human world."
Saying that, Yusa led Ryohei and the others to line up in front of a self-service ticket machine.
After getting the tickets, the group moved to the waiting room.
It was worth mentioning that there was no security check here; the concept of a security check didn't exist...
