Chapter 355: No Dirty Jokes in Public!
The Demon World train had a rugged design, predominantly black throughout.
Ryohei stepped into the designated carriage, his gaze sweeping around with a hint of novelty. Following the seat numbers, he quickly found his seat.
He had bought a special class seat—
Each row had only two seats, one on the left and one on the right, independent of each other. They were surrounded by black frosted partitions, offering excellent privacy. The interior space was spacious, not feeling cramped at all.
The seat was a wide sofa-style design. Ryohei sat on it and felt quite comfortable, nodding secretly in approval.
"Feels a bit like first class on an airplane..."
Ryohei leaned back comfortably, made a comment, and then asked strangely: "Why aren't you guys talking?"
As he spoke, he raised his phone and used the reflection on the screen to look at the two earrings on his earlobe.
Suddenly silent, he thought they had fallen off.
"We are earrings now." Lucoa swayed gently and said, "Normally, earrings don't talk."
"..." Ryohei was speechless for a moment upon hearing this and retorted: "You're not real earrings!"
"That's true... Compared to earrings, I'd definitely prefer to turn into a chastity belt!" Lucoa started with a bang, making an explosive statement.
"Alright, stop talking!"
Ryohei sweated and quickly spoke up to stop her.
"Eh—! Ryohei-kun is so mean!"
Lucoa bit Ryohei's earlobe with slight force to show her dissatisfaction: "I didn't talk, you asked me to talk; I talked, and you're not happy... so hard to please!"
"Right, Pekola?"
"That is correct." Pekola's voice rang out unexpectedly.
Ryohei was left helpless: "No dirty jokes in public!"
"Did I make a dirty joke?" Lucoa sounded innocent.
"Onee-chan did."
Pekola suddenly staged a backstab, making the former instantly lose her calm: "Chotto matte! Pekola, you..."
"I'm just stating facts."
Pekola interrupted Lucoa with her unique, flat tone.
"..." The corners of Ryohei's mouth lifted slightly, a smile appearing on his face. He interjected, changing the subject: "Speaking of which, was I targeted by that werewolf just now?"
"Mmhmm~~, Ryohei-kun is quite sharp~." Lucoa hummed lightly, her tone teasing.
"He does harbor ill intentions towards you... so what do you plan to do?"
"I want to deal with him."
Ryohei wasn't some "pushover." Someone already harbored ill intentions towards him, even if they hadn't acted yet—if he had no strength, that would be one thing, but with strength, why should he swallow this anger?
It was just that when boarding earlier, he noticed they weren't in the same carriage. Taking action on the train didn't seem appropriate either; it might attract the "train police"?
"Need help?"
Pekola swayed and asked concisely.
"Not for now." Ryohei lowered his head, unlocked his phone with his fingerprint, opened the chat group, and said, "If he still comes up cluelessly later, I'll fix him..."
While speaking, he sent a message to the LINE group—
[Ryohei]: "The atmosphere in the Demon World doesn't seem that simple and honest..."
"Ding dong—! Welcome aboard train [Mo 23333]. This train is bound for 'Demon World Yomotsu' from 'Human World Neon Station'..."
Accompanied by a voice announcement, the train slowly started.
Ryohei looked out the window curiously as the platform scenery gradually receded.
Buzz buzz—!
The phone vibrated. He looked down—
[Poporon]: "It was never simple and honest. Demons are generally cunning and treacherous. It's just that there are too many honest demons in the group, giving you a false impression of a simple and honest Demon World atmosphere."
[Yurine]: "Suddenly saying this, did something happen?"
Yurine keenly tagged Ryohei.
Ryohei typed a reply—
[Ryohei]: "Nothing much, just that a werewolf talked to me while waiting for the train, asking if I was alone and where I was getting off... felt like he had bad intentions."
[Ryohei]: "You should also be careful when you go to the Demon World in two days. @Yurine."
Yurine instantly replied with an "Okay" sticker.
At this moment, Jashin-chan popped up arrogantly—
[Jashin-chan]: "What? A mere werewolf dares to target my servant? Is he looking to rebel!"
[Jashin-chan]: "@Ryohei, lure him over after you get off, watch me fix him!"
[Ryohei]: "No need. If he dares to come near me after I get off, I'll fix him myself."
Possessing the Power of One Dragon, Ryohei was also getting cocky, not taking a mere werewolf seriously at all.
"..."
While the group was chatting, the train entered a tunnel with a clackety-clack—.
About a minute later, it left the tunnel.
And at this moment, the world outside the window had completely changed!
The sky still hung low and gloomy, but no city buildings could be seen anymore. Instead, a pitch-black, dead plain stretched into the distance.
The lights inside the carriage also changed from warm yellow to dark red, becoming very "Demon World atmospheric."
"...Already in the Demon World?"
Ryohei muttered softly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable for a moment.
"Mn, not in the human world anymore," Lucoa's voice rang out with a hint of gentleness.
Hearing her voice, the slight discomfort in Ryohei's heart quickly faded...
Just then—
A succubus lady wearing a red tube dress, with a curvaceous figure, suspender stockings on her legs, and red high heels, pushed a silver-white dining cart into the carriage.
Special class seats were provided with snacks and drinks, and full meals at meal times.
Ryohei soon received a small cream cake from the Undead family, a pack of Great Demon King Squirrel dried fruits, and a bottle of Magic Rich Milk.
And—
A small note hand-written by the succubus lady and slipped to him right in front of his face...
"This Demon World atmosphere is terrible!" Lucoa criticized loudly: "A flight attendant actually slipping notes to passengers casually, I want to file a complaint against her!"
"Hmm... professional jealousy?"
Ryohei picked up the Great Demon King Squirrel dried fruits and joked.
"Bite you!"
Lucoa bit Ryohei's earlobe with slight force.
Ryohei didn't mind, smiled, opened the pack of dried fruits, and asked, "Do you want some?"
"No—!"
Lucoa and Pekola answered one after another.
Neither of them was very interested in such small snacks...
