Hayashi's comment about being an omnivore who loves eating any grass made Takatsuki Sen on the other end giggle non-stop, clutching her stomach and rolling on the bed.
Simply put, he loved looking at anything beautiful.
Not to mention mature women and lolis.
Even different species would be fine as long as they looked good.
Including but not limited to: monster girls, elves, succubi, demon lords, beast girls, etc.
As long as they were humanoid and aesthetically pleasing, all were acceptable.
What? Reproductive isolation?
Wasn't that even better?
No need to worry about contraception costs, directly going wild.
Experiencing the purest skin contact.
Takatsuki Sen laughed for a long time before replying on her phone.
"Your philosophy, though it seems too scummy, I have to say, for us ghoul beings, it's really too unfair."
"I believe it's the same for other species, even devils, hentai-kun."
Seeing Takatsuki Sen's reply.
Hayashi started typing.
Hayashi: "This is called no deception, all sincerity, giving every girl a warm home."
Giving each beloved girl a share of great love.
This universal great love.
As long as they don't covet or compete with each other.
Wasn't Hayashi a great love immortal?
Seeing this, Takatsuki Sen on the other end felt both helpless and dependent.
After all, if it wasn't someone like Hayashi.
No matter who met Takatsuki Sen, after knowing her true identity, they wouldn't have the emotional and communicative state she now had with Hayashi.
In this world, the only man who could interact and live with her like this.
Was only Hayashi.
It was precisely because of this aesthetic that she had her current identity.
For this relationship, there were sacrifices and gains.
Completely worth it!
For a moment.
Takatsuki Sen's mind suddenly overflowed with inspiration.
Girl, different species, dual identity, contrast, pursuing ideals and revenge.
Boy, great love, daily sunshine, encounter, support, romance...
Such inspiration.
Would definitely produce a good book, right?
For a moment.
Takatsuki Sen wanted to start writing again!
Using Takatsuki Sen's identity!
Write this final book!
Whether it sold well or not, as long as it was most important in her heart!
After thinking it through.
Takatsuki Sen immediately replied: "I suddenly have inspiration for a new book. Let's stop chatting. See you tomorrow evening. Oh, and it's a new book created with you and me as the main characters, like Utaha's!"
Hayashi: "???"
No way, you too?
Hayashi immediately added: "Don't include my restaurant's real address!"
Takatsuki Sen didn't reply, probably saw it.
But those days of being packed with crowds.
Hayashi never wanted to experience it again.
Too exhausting.
Not physically tired, but mentally exhausted!
In Takatsuki Sen's house.
After ending the conversation. Takatsuki Sen, naked, hurriedly ran to her desk, pulled out paper and pen, and began writing.
The paper showed a publication plan.
"Black Goat's Egg" was the seventh book.
And the next one, the eighth in the plan was: "The Inverted MacGuffin."
Next to this title, many elements were written.
Actually, she had planned to write a book using Hayashi's existence as an element, but the inspiration wasn't as strong as now.
MacGuffin referred to: something that drives the plot, goals, and core.
Takatsuki Sen's idea for this book was about the series of changes she (the protagonist) underwent after meeting Hayashi (MacGuffin), thus driving the plot and producing a new ending.
But she had writer's block.
Because her new life had just begun, she couldn't write the ending.
But now it was different.
The new book was: interspecies romance theme.
For the current Takatsuki Sen, this theme was simply an explosion of inspiration!
So Takatsuki Sen wrote "tentative" next to "The Inverted MacGuffin."
Then in the ninth book, she wrote.
"Beastars"
Just now with Hayashi, her thoughts flowed like a burst dam.
Takatsuki Sen couldn't wait a moment, grabbed her laptop and started typing!
Nothing else to say, with her ghoul body.
Typing all night was absolutely easy!
Tomorrow afternoon, she absolutely had to show Hayashi the opening!
In the restaurant.
After ending the chat with Takatsuki Sen.
Hayashi touched his chin, feeling something was off but also right.
"What were Takatsuki Sen's later books about again?"
He only remembered Takatsuki Sen published two more books later.
But had forgotten what they were called.
Who would remember such things for no reason?
But Hayashi remembered that Takatsuki Sen's books were all plot-related.
Not written for herself.
But for the environment.
The new book was probably the same.
Of course, what surprised Hayashi most was that Takatsuki Sen still had the mood to continue creating.
At this time.
She was about to go to full-scale war with CCG.
After the war began.
After Aogiri Tree achieved their first victory.
Takatsuki Sen would self-destruct.
Yet she still had the mood to continue creating.
"Could it be..." Hayashi suddenly realized: "Takatsuki Sen wouldn't actually be writing that banned book I mentioned jokingly that would become popular, would she?"
"That really would... become popular."
No doubt about it.
Takatsuki Sen was already a major author.
When she published new books, publishers would print and publish at the fastest speed.
The first edition wouldn't be less than 20,000 copies.
Possibly even 50,000 copies.
With this foundation, plus Takatsuki Sen's own appeal and influence.
Even if it got banned after she self-destructed later.
That would only make the book more popular.
"Incredible."
That was Hayashi's assessment.
There was another point.
As long as Takatsuki Sen herself wasn't caught by CCG, she could continue publishing books using her alias identity.
It would continue to be popular then.
At worst, she just wouldn't take the royalties.
"Utaha..." Hayashi shook his head helplessly: "I'm afraid your lifelong rival will have to be Takatsuki Sen."
It was too difficult to out-write this genius with mortal strength.
And so.
Until 2 AM late at night.
Hayashi, Tohru, and Kanna watched TV together.
The three leaned on the sofa.
Each holding a pillow, watching until 2 o'clock.
On TV: "Patrick~, let's go catch jellyfish together!"
"Hah~~~" Tohru yawned.
Hayashi turned to look.
Kanna had already fallen asleep, head tilted, drool about to flow down.
Hayashi checked the time and patted Tohru's shoulder.
"Take Kanna back to sleep. Get a good night's sleep today, ceasefire, can't have nightly revelries."
Tohru was indeed tired.
She nodded and carried Kanna back to sleep.
Hayashi went to close the door.
"Check in."
Save the check-ins, accumulate them for a one-time consecutive draw for good items.
Single draws couldn't produce miracles.
Then he went to the back yard to check on the sunflowers.
All three sunflowers drooped their flower heads, sleeping like people.
Hayashi nodded and returned to the second-floor bedroom.
"Ah~"
Comfortably lying on the big bed.
Hayashi lay on his side scrolling through his phone, planning to play for a while before sleeping.
At this time.
Power: (location pin)
Power: "Makima seems to be asleep. Boss, how are you coming over? Infiltration? Or should I come get you? How about the forest or a hotel? If Makima-sama discovers us, I'll die horribly, right?"
Hotels aside.
Forest, you're really...
Hayashi was impressed. Truly a devil, just like Makima, playing so openly.
Basically no sense of shame.
Makima, such a cold and powerful devil, yet in that aspect, wouldn't refuse anything as long as Hayashi was happy.
Even to make Hayashi happy, to reward Hayashi.
She would wear particularly shameful clothes.
Yet still didn't feel ashamed.
Instead thought it was right.
To this, Hayashi could only say: Well done!
Devils were great, he had to play well with devils.
Power had the thief's heart but not the thief's courage.
She dared to play but was afraid of being caught by Makima and dying horribly.
Hayashi replied: "Don't worry, countdown three seconds, look behind you."
Power: "?"
Teleportation magic currently had two most commonly used methods.
1 was ignoring location, directly blind-targeting, like choosing a direction and teleporting 10 kilometers.
What the result would be was unknown, so this type of teleportation was generally only used for aerial teleportation.
2 was knowing precise coordinates, then precise teleportation was possible.
Hayashi looked at the coordinates Power sent.
"Teleportation magic."
He held two spells and one ability in his hands, leaving a scouting eye in his own room.
When the teleportation magic took effect.
Hayashi instantly disappeared.
Appeared in Power's bedroom.
The moment Power turned around.
The String-String Fruit ability instantly wrapped the room from inside, almost airtight.
Another one-way silencing magic took effect.
Sounds from inside couldn't get out.
But sounds from outside could be heard inside.
Also known as: sound version magic mirror.
"Wow! Shop owner!?"
Power turned around, seeing Hayashi appear, directly exclaimed.
Then quickly covered her mouth, scared enough that sweat was about to flow.
"..." Hayashi looked at Power speechlessly.
He knew Power was unreliable, so he came prepared with magic just to prevent this from happening.
Sure enough, he guessed right.
If the magic hadn't been prepared in advance.
With that shout of hers.
Oh ho~~~
"No sound now." Hayashi helplessly gave Power a hand chop.
And explained that he had used magic to soundproof the room.
"Wow~?!"
Power was immediately very interested.
She looked at the ceiling, making her hands into a megaphone shape.
Then under Hayashi's incredulous gaze.
Shouted: "Makima-sama! Can you hear me!"
"...." Hayashi clenched his fist, mouth twitching.
I'll endure, won't find fault with you over this.
I'll be Happy Superman later, when happy I become superman.
Power shouted once.
After confirming no movement, she said to Hayashi with delight.
"Really! Really soundproof!"
"Hahaha, so interesting!"
Power might have been somewhat pressure-damaged living in Makima's place.
Though not the same floor, just the same building.
But it still counted as living with Makima.
"You dummy..." Hayashi sighed helplessly.
"Hehe~~~"
Power wore only a T-shirt and triangle shorts.
She pounced on Hayashi at this moment.
Legs clamping around Hayashi's waist.
"I've owed so much debt, you finally came to collect!"
Hayashi revealed a "kind" smile.
"Don't rush, take your time repaying this debt."
"?" Power was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"Because this is a high-interest loan!"
After Hayashi spoke.
Power was suddenly pressed onto the sofa.
"!?"
She just wanted to lift her head and look back.
Immediately after.
A strong, powerful hand pressed on her neck, firmly pressing her against the sofa armrest.
"Ah..."
Suddenly.
Power became like a cat having its tailbone tickled.
Expression intense yet absent.
Shaking her head, wanting to struggle but not struggling.
She bit the sofa armrest.
The spirit in her eyes gradually disappeared, pupils gradually becoming heart-shaped.
"..."
After an unknown amount of time.
Hayashi got up, crossed out an item from the debt list, and wrote a "1" on Power's leg.
Power still lay on the sofa.
Hands drooping to the ground.
Head tilted to the side, no movement.
Hayashi originally wanted to remove the magic and leave directly.
But remembering Power's trait of not liking to bathe.
He could only shake his head helplessly.
"Cleansing magic."
In an instant.
Power's body became clean as new.
The milkshake and such also disappeared without a trace.
Hayashi replenished the silencing magic with more magical power, making it naturally fade only after daytime.
After doing all this, he teleported back.
The next day.
Hayashi woke up under the noon sunlight.
He lay in bed, wiggling left and right, resting for a while before opening his eyes.
Sitting up, he first checked the scouting eye magic he had set up yesterday.
It was simply a recording + broadcasting magic.
Recording surrounding images.
Real-time broadcast, watch whenever you want.
The downside was no storage.
Because magic had no physical form - to save images, you'd need at least a carrier.
"Still need to improve it."
Hayashi used magic to look outside the courtyard.
Mm, no one queuing.
That was good.
Then looked inside the house.
Tohru had just woken up and was cleaning the second floor.
After cleaning her own and other rooms, she was walking toward his bedroom.
"Knock knock~~"
Tohru knocked: "Hayashi-san, are you awake?"
As she spoke, she secretly opened the door crack to peek inside.
If Hayashi wasn't awake.
She couldn't guarantee she wouldn't do something unexpected.
Like secretly eating lollipops or something.
She had done this before.
"I'm awake." Hayashi stretched, revealing his well-proportioned muscular upper body.
"!" Tohru's eyes became starry.
"Hayashi-san, do you need a massage? Let me massage you."
"Who gets massages first thing in the morning..."
Hayashi got up and, under Tohru's regretful gaze, put on his shirt and pants.
"Come in."
Tohru entered the room and began helping Hayashi clean.
"I'll go make breakfast." Hayashi went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
After seeing Hayashi leave.
Tohru immediately pounced on Hayashi's bed, covered herself with the blanket, breathing in the scent full of Hayashi.
After she wiggled around thoroughly in the blankets.
Only then did she emerge with glowing eyes, full of energy.
"Energy replenishment complete! Begin cleaning!"
Washing clothes, airing bedding, cleaning, organizing things - basically these tasks.
Hayashi went downstairs.
First personally fed Pochita and petted it.
Then fed the cat and petted it.
The cat contentedly squinted its eyes.
Rubbing against Hayashi with its head.
Its tail also curled around Hayashi's hand, showing great dependence.
It was very smart.
It knew Hayashi was very strong, very gentle, had lots of delicious food, and all made by this man!
So it had to curry favor properly!
Hayashi petted the cat, then went to the back yard to check on the sunflowers.
"How was it? Were the blood packages tasty?"
The three sunflowers saw Hayashi coming.
They all swayed their bodies, waved their green leaves, greeting him.
After one night.
The sunflowers that had absorbed nutrients all day seemed to have grown bigger.
"Hmm?"
Hayashi walked forward and compared with his own height.
Yesterday, the sunflowers seemed to only reach his belt.
Now comparing, they had reached his waist.
They grew nearly 10 centimeters overnight.
"You grew this much?" Hayashi said in surprise.
The sunflowers conveyed: Good nutrition means fast growth!
"How tall can you grow?" Hayashi asked.
The sunflowers indicated: About as tall as women, then begin condensing essence and growing demon cores.
As tall as women?
That would be about 1.6-1.7 meters?
Hayashi looked at the flower heads.
Sure enough, they had grown sunflower seeds again.
"Let's harvest the seeds first." Hayashi found a basin.
Hearing about harvesting seeds.
The sunflowers swayed even more happily, all looking forward to the vibration.
Hayashi used the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
Gave each sunflower a wave of vibration, shaking all the seeds down.
The sunflowers comfortably swayed their flower heads.
Hayashi collected the seeds and went to roast them.
Then began making breakfast.
"Let's make steamed dumplings."
