Chapter 359: Jashin-chan's Home!
Except for the first dish of Exploding Bugs, the rest were relatively normal. Ryohei was quite satisfied with his lunch.
By the time they left Beelzebub Restaurant and arrived at Jashin-chan's house, it was already past one o'clock.
Everything in front of him gave Ryohei a more concrete understanding of Jashin-chan's identity as a demon noble!
Her home was a private luxury manor located in the suburbs of the Jashin Capital, covering an extremely vast area—a full 3 square kilometers, equivalent to fifteen Stardew Valley farms!
The actual usable area was even larger—Stardew Valley farms were nearly two-thirds mountainous, while here, although there were mountains, they accounted for a much smaller proportion.
The manor had large areas of farmland, orchards, woodland, and pastures, as well as a series of functional areas and buildings such as gardens, libraries, wineries, and dairies.
It was worth mentioning that this manor was not occupied solely by Jashin-chan's family. Direct members of the Jashin family and important collateral relatives all lived together on this land.
And Jashin-chan's family was the head of the direct line, holding a pivotal position in the family and absolute dominance over affairs within the manor...
"We're here!"
Sitting in the passenger seat, Jashin-chan suddenly closed her folding fan and tapped the palm of her left hand.
As her voice fell, the car slowly stopped in front of a mansion.
"This is the annex, specifically used to entertain guests."
Jashin-chan invited everyone to get off, briefly introduced it, turned around, and pointed at the grander building next to it with her folding fan:
"Our family usually lives over there. After arranging rooms for you later, I'll take you for a stroll around the manor."
"Sure."
Ryohei agreed readily; he was very interested in the Jashin family's manor.
Lucoa and Pekola weren't very interested in the manor itself, but they were happy to walk around with Ryohei.
"Follow me."
Jashin-chan waved her folding fan and led the way skillfully.
Along the way, they met several demon maids, who bowed to Jashin-chan one after another, respectfully calling out "Miss Jashin-chan."
Jashin-chan gave a nonchalant "Mn" in response, giving Ryohei a huge sense of contrast.
"..."
Soon, they arrived on the third floor!
Jashin-chan suddenly stopped, swept her folding fan towards one side of the corridor, and signaled: "I had someone clean up these three rooms yesterday."
Saying this, she pushed open the door in front of her and led everyone inside to visit.
"Why prepared three rooms?"
Lucoa strode into the room with her voluptuous long legs, a hint of surprise in her tone.
Jashin-chan was stunned upon hearing this, turned her head, and asked strangely: "Aren't there three of you?"
"That is correct."
Lucoa raised a slender white finger and said seriously:
"But think about it... Ryohei-kun, a human coming to the Demon World, might be too scared to sleep alone at night. So I decided to share a room with him tonight so he can sleep peacefully."
"So that's how it is. Are you afraid to sleep alone at night?"
Pekola turned her head to look at Ryohei. Before he could answer, she placed her hand on her world-class fullness and said very reliably: "Then I'll stay with you tonight too."
"Thank you very much! But I'm not afraid; my guts aren't that small!" Ryohei felt his reputation was being damaged; he had to clarify!
"No need to act tough~~~." Lucoa looked over with a smile.
"I'm not!"
Jashin-chan snapped open her folding fan with a crack, covering the lower half of her face, and squinted at them:
( ﹁ ﹁ )
"I don't care how you sleep at night; anyway, I've arranged the rooms for you."
This way, it would be easy to explain when Yurine came over; she didn't arrange a single room!
"Hmm..."
Ryohei didn't want to dwell on this topic. He pondered for a moment and said to Jashin-chan: "Speaking of which... Jashin-chan, will your parents come back tonight?"
"Why?"
Jashin-chan raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion.
"I brought some souvenirs." Ryohei said concisely.
He was a particular person.
Staying overnight at someone else's house, he certainly couldn't come empty-handed!
Although his relationship with Jashin-chan was unusual—in some ways, it was only natural for a "summoned creature" to eat and live off the summoner—they didn't usually interact in such capacities.
And he brought others along...
"Whoa—! Are you being this polite, Servant?"
Jashin-chan looked at Ryohei in surprise, then a bright smile appeared on her face.
She swooshed to Ryohei's side, circling him, shaking the tip of her tail, and said: "What did you bring? Just give it to me. I'll see if I can sell it for a sum!"
"Sell your head!"
Ryohei clenched his fist, wanting to hit her, but held back.
After all, he was in someone's home; better leave her some face.
"I brought some desserts I made myself."
"Alright! Just as I expected!"
╮(╯∀╰)╭
Jashin-chan spread her hands, revealing an "as expected" expression.
Then—
She crossed one arm over her chest, tapped her chin lightly with the folding fan, and said uncertainly: "My dad probably won't be back; he's usually very busy, even busier these days... Mom is hard to say, but she didn't come back last night."
"Is that so..."
Ryohei looked at Jashin-chan, thought for a moment, took out the prepared desserts, and placed them on a side table.
"Putting them here. Put them away, not allowed to sell."
"Got it."
Jashin-chan glanced at them, dragged out her tone, and went out to find a maid to take the desserts and store them in the pantry first.
She casually sent a message to her gluttonous mom—"My servant came from the human world and brought some desserts; put them in the pantry."
"..."
At the same time—
Ryohei, Lucoa, and Pekola were touring the room.
This was a Western classical style bedroom, about 30 square meters, with its own toilet, washroom, and bathroom—overall, quite nice.
"One room per person, I'll sleep in this room." Ryohei turned and said to Lucoa and Pekola.
"That works too."
Lucoa clapped her hands lightly and said, "I'll sleep next door."
"Then I'll sleep next to next door." Pekola took up the conversation, wondering if she should sneak over tonight or go directly to her sister's room?
"..."
After that, the group looked at the other two rooms, then followed Jashin-chan to tour the Jashin family manor...
