Chapter 425: Strange Blood Donation Center!
January 4th.
When Ryohei went out, the sky was still very gloomy, looking like it was going to rain.
But at some unknown point, the wind swept away the clouds and mist—
At this moment, the sky was a clear azure, and the sunlight poured down without reservation, bright and full, as if the whole world had been polished anew.
Hanazono Inari Shrine's parking lot—
Click—!
Wearing a blue and white Lolita dress, her slender legs wrapped in white silk stockings, Yurine pulled open the passenger seat door and sat in the car.
She casually fastened her seatbelt, her bright eyes looking at Ryohei, teasing: "I heard you're lusting after Jashin-chan's body?"
"What an outrageous rumor... where did you hear that from?"
Ryohei held the steering wheel with one hand, released the handbrake, and turned his head with feigned shock.
"She told me herself."
Yurine crossed her arms, snorted lightly, but didn't actually believe it.
Ryohei could lust after anyone, but it was impossible for him to lust after Jashin-chan—
Although Jashin-chan looked somewhat cute, her personality was truly too terrible, the kind that made people unable to muster any sexual desire. She had no advantage in figure, and she was also an exhibitionist.
When Ryohei first transmigrated over, he was a bit embarrassed looking at Jashin-chan, but now his gaze didn't waver at all, and he would occasionally look at her with an expression of disgust.
—Yurine was still very reassured.
"This is slander, it's a rumor!"
Ryohei skillfully backed the car out of the parking lot, retorted loudly, and then said: "I'll show you something good when we get back."
"This transition is so sudden; are you sure you aren't changing the subject?"
"Sure, certain, and positive!"
Ryohei placed his hand on Yurine's silk-stockinged leg, squeezed it gently, and said:
"Are you tired these past two days? I'll give you a massage later to let you relax a bit?"
"Exhausted to death!"
It was fine not mentioning this, but the moment it was mentioned, Yurine couldn't muster any energy.
She tilted her face up slightly, her whole person sinking into the seat, and said with a lazy face:
"I've been really busy these past few days. As soon as I open my eyes, a bunch of work is waiting for me to do. I'm busy until midnight every day, with basically no time to rest in between."
"I want to sleep early tonight, and soak in a hot spring before bed."
She turned her head and looked at Ryohei.
"No problem, later I'll have Lucoa send us to the ranch," Ryohei agreed with a smile.
...
Twenty minutes later, Ryohei drove Yurine back to the luxurious villa in Meguro Ward.
The two walked straight up to the third floor and stopped in front of a door.
"This is the good stuff I told you about earlier."
Ryohei pushed the door open—
The light in the audio-visual room was dim; only the huge aquarium standing against the wall quietly emitted a hazy glimmer.
The Phantom Jellyfish trailed pale yellow-green light traces, swimming silently in the aquarium.
The umbrella-shaped bodies slowly expanded and contracted, spreading fluorescent halos all over the walls and ceiling, tracing a flowing and hazy outline for the whole room.
"Jellyfish? So beautiful!"
Yurine's beautiful eyes lit up, and she walked into the room involuntarily.
"To be precise, it's the Phantom Jellyfish. In the future, I will rely on it to start the Gourmet Age!"
Ryohei followed her into the room, waved his hand, and said with high spirits.
At this time, the Phantom Jellyfish had already reproduced quite a bit, and Ryohei had asked Pekola to get a few more aquariums.
Two were placed in the audio-visual room, against the wall—
The ordinary wall had now turned into a dreamy jellyfish wall!
It had a great atmosphere!
The rest were all at the ranch; Ryohei had specially cleared out a room in the hilltop villa to raise jellyfish.
The plan to cultivate ingredients had also begun—
He had instructed Elma and Ilulu, separating ten experimental cows, having them add a few Phantom Jellyfish into the feed when they usually fed the cows.
Besides this, he also got some fish, shrimp, and crabs, feeding them Phantom Jellyfish daily.
Ryohei also wanted to raise some animals like chickens, ducks, rabbits, sheep, and pigs, but the current environment of the ranch was not quite suitable—
Mainly because he wanted to free-range them, preparing to arrange it after spring arrived.
"..."
He explained the function of the Phantom Jellyfish and his plans to Yurine.
Yurine listened with continuous surprise: "Is this jellyfish that amazing?"
"So when Jashin-chan said you lusted after her body, you were lusting after her tail?" Yurine had a thought and asked.
"Mn, I was joking with her; I didn't expect her to actually tattle to you."
Ryohei raised his hand and scratched his cheek.
"Mmm—!"
Yurine crossed her arms and pondered for a moment.
"...What are you pondering over?" Ryohei blinked, looking at her subtly.
"Nothing."
Yurine broke into a smile.
Before Ryohei could say anything, she put her hands behind her back, lifted her chin slightly, and said: "I've accumulated a massive amount of fatigue these past few days and need to properly release it."
"Understood!"
Ryohei nodded, placed one hand on Yurine's slender shoulder, passed the other hand behind her knees, and picked her up in a princess carry.
And Yurine took the opportunity to wrap her arms around Ryohei's neck, the corners of her lips curling up slightly.
...
At the same time, on the other side—
Wearing a wallet around her neck, Jashin-chan was bored to death, acting as a street wanderer.
Not needing to work during this period, she either went to play pachinko or went to the horse races every day.
As everyone knows—
Doing one thing for a long time gets boring, and today she was a bit bored of it. Staying at home was boring too, so she simply came out for a casual stroll.
"Mn?"
Walking past familiar streets and alleys, arriving in front of a building that seemed somewhat out of place with its surroundings, Jashin-chan stopped out of curiosity.
This was a somewhat retro building.
The main body was a red brick wall, paired with an archway decorated with gray stone. The walls were covered with green vines, and there were arched multi-pane windows.
The signboard above the entrance and the small hanging sign both read Blood Donation Center in eye-catching red font. Beneath each stroke trailed slender traces, like sliding drops of blood.
There was also a bat pattern above the signboard...
"Was there a blood donation center here before? Speaking of which, isn't this architectural style a bit strange?"
Jashin-chan tilted her head, but immediately didn't mind it: "This main door is quite grand though!"
She then looked at the sign placed at the door saying All blood types are in urgent shortage, clenched her right hand into a fist, and lightly pounded the palm of her left hand.
"Yoshi—! Let's do some good deeds today!"
On a whim, Jashin-chan grinned and said: "And then all the bad things I've done in the past will be completely written off, hehe~."
Speaking to amuse herself, she stepped forward and pushed open the door of the blood donation center...
