Chapter 329
Some idols also eat their nutritious meals here.
However, apart from the agency's top idol, it seems that no idol is more attractive than this director lady.
Perhaps using the word "star" to describe her beauty is too superficial; she is more like a work of art that should be exhibited in an oil gallery, making people subconsciously hold their breath just by standing there.
Now, this woman is standing at the window for vegetarian food.
She stretched out her finger and gently pointed to the various fruits and vegetables in the window:
"Could I have one of these tomatoes? Could you cut it into pieces?"
The woman's voice was soft and melodious.
Even the cafeteria girl was taken aback for a moment.
"This apple looks delicious, but it's a shame the cucumbers don't seem very fresh today."
The woman pinched her chin, discussing the quality of today's fruits and vegetables with great seriousness.
For some reason, the cafeteria girl felt a little embarrassed.
"That's... that's true."
Not long after, Ms. Tachibana filled a plate with brightly colored fruits and vegetables, and poured a large spoonful of salad dressing over them, almost submerging the pile of fruits and vegetables.
It seems this woman isn't trying to lose weight; she simply enjoys a vegetarian diet.
Holding this plate of vegetarian food, Ms. Tachibana seemed to be in a good mood. She hummed a song as she carried her vegan lunch as if she were taking it back to her office to eat.
It's called an office, but that's just speculation. Although Director Tachibana has been seen walking around the firm quite often, no one has ever actually seen her office.
In fact, the office of this young and promising female director is located next to the ecological park. Since she is the only one who comes and goes here, no one would notice that there is an office here.
Calling it an office isn't quite accurate.
It's just a corner in a garden used for tea parties, but it does contain Tachibana's personal items from her office, such as a tea table, a swing, and gardening tools.
Next, she would have lunch alone.
She always eats her main meals alone.
Because...
"Awoo..."
She took a fork, speared a peeled orange, and took a big bite.
Large swaths of salad dressing were immediately smeared on her face.
The juice from the fresh orange burst out of her teeth, splashing onto half her face.
However, Tachibana didn't see anything wrong with it at all.
She didn't wipe her mouth and continued eating the orange until she swallowed it whole.
After that, she enjoyed all the fruits and vegetables by herself.
It's hard to imagine anyone else eating a fruit salad so messily.
Throughout the lunch, her expression remained calm and composed, as always.
Even with such an unusual way of eating, a touch of elegance was still retained.
She enjoyed her lunch the rest of the time just as she always had.
This continued until a deafening explosion and violent tremors shook the ecological park, knocking her lunch—a meal most people couldn't finish—to the ground.
The remaining fruits, vegetables, and salad dressing were spilled all over the floor.
Seeing this, Tachibana was stunned for a moment. She blinked, ignoring the sound of the explosion and the tremors, and instead looked down at the lunch that had fallen to the ground.
"Ah... what a waste."
She muttered something that seemed to be in great distress:
"I'm still not full..."
Ms. Tachibana sighed softly as she looked at the pitiful, wasted fruits and vegetables.
The cafeteria is probably closed by now.
She couldn't make a second serving either.
Should she pick it up and eat it? After all, she had never wasted food since birth, especially crops, until a woman taught her that food that had fallen on the ground was no longer edible.
Just as she was struggling with her thoughts, a Black Death Cult walked over from a short distance away.
That was a Black Death Cult named the Black Goat.
Among the Monster, it is the most bizarre and terrifying in appearance. Just like its name, it is completely black, and the only thing that it has in common with a goat is its goat-like high-pitched and eerie cry.
In addition, its bloated, deformed body is covered with swollen, shrunken goat heads and negative-number human face masks.
It also has many dark tentacles on its body.
[I apologize, Your Demon King, just like before, they've had another minor disagreement. I didn't expect it to disturb you this time.]
The Demon King's servant bowed down, his bloated body and countless tentacles looming over him.
Tachibana knew perfectly well who "they" referred to.
She sighed:
"What a troublesome bunch of kids."
Under her command, a large number of Black Death Cult have now gathered, and even after a sharp decline following the recent battles, they remain one of the most powerful forces among all Villain Organization.
However, the relationship among these resurrected ancient Black Death Cult is by no means harmonious.
There was one Black Death Cult in particular who was exceptionally difficult to get along with.
It was alright before, with the little Rhinoceros Horn Dragon being so easy to manage.
Only it has the power to stop the reckless behavior of that maverick Black Death Cult, and it can always maturely resolve conflicts between its members.
Unfortunately, it was eventually lost to Phantom Wind some time ago.
This has recently made the combat-type Black Death Cult, who has lost his sparring partner, quite unhappy.
So much so that Tachibana had to personally dismember that Black Death Cult several times to calm him down.
[However... considering that even Black Death Cult as powerful as the Rhinoceros Horn Dragon was defeated so easily, its Crystal shattered by the Phantom Wind, unable to revive, Demon King Majesty, the Magic girls of Maple Plain City seem to be becoming increasingly difficult to deal with.]
The Black Goat Black Death Cult, emitted a hoarse, piercing groan, yet it revealed the logical thinking of a normal human being.
Tachibana out a soft sigh, as if in resignation.
"Yes, of all the Magic girls I've encountered in my thousands of years, they are the fastest-growing group."
The Magic girls of Maple Plain City, when counted, are simply incredibly virtuous.
They not only defeated the first Serpent System Black Death Cult born on Earth, but also the Thousand Fiend, and even the Demon King was defeated by them.
And all of this happened in less than a year.
As the Demon King Tachibana is quite troubled by this.
"By the way, how is the Snowy Owl recovering?"
She quickly regained her usual gentle and natural demeanor and began to show concern for her subordinates.
Since the Crystal wasn't truly shattered, as long as Crystal's recovered, Tachibana can revive the defeated Monster once again, though it will take time to replenish their Magic Power and allow them to grow stronger.
[The Snowy Owl Black Death Cult is still in its early stages, but so far there haven't been any problems.]
[Furthermore, the task you previously assigned of recovering the remains of the Rhinoceros Horn Dragon Black Death Cult has now been completed. I believe it will soon serve as nourishment, becoming a new part of 'It'.]
Although its companion, the Rhinoceros Horn Dragon, was treated this way, the Black Goat had no complaints.
To this group of Monster, this seemed to be perfectly normal.
Tachibana lightly hooked one finger and stroked her chin:
"Well done."
She smiled.
After she offered such encouragement, the Black Goat seemed to have thought of something, and its tone became slightly hesitant. After considering it, it asked Tachibana for a question.
[Speaking of which... Your Demon King, lately, that Overlord's Magic Armament seems to be becoming increasingly... dangerous.]
[Previously, it was only intermittently turning a group of Monster into dogs or sheep.]
[But recently... some Monster have been directly transformed into nascent-stage monsters by its power, or even converted into Serpent System Monster, causing an uprising.]
This is the extraordinary thing that His Majesty the Demon King has always treated with utmost care.
Although disrespectful, in some ways, its danger is no less than that of the Demon King before him.
After all, that was... the power left behind by the strongest fifth Demon King.
When it first saw this Magic Armament, the other party was still in a state of silence.
But now it seems they're starting to get restless and are urgently searching for something. If this continues, it won't just be ordinary Monster who are in danger; even these Black Death Cult will be at risk.
"Yes, that is indeed a problem."
"However, I believe that this problem will soon be solved; perhaps it will do something quite interesting."
Tachibana smiled, her smile subtly revealing an expectation that the Black Goat could not comprehend.
This Demon King's thoughts were always quite different from the other three.
Perhaps it was due to her most insane desires.
Black Goat, as a Black Death Cult of the Flower, is willing to be drawn into the vortex of the Demon King's desires and become part of his nourishment.
They have all been waiting for this for a long time.
After that, the Black Goat took his leave, leaving His Majesty the Demon King alone in the now quiet garden, facing the mess left by the tremor.
The ambitious Demon King blinked his beautiful eyes.
Suddenly, Tachibana rubbed her stomach, a regretful expression on her face.
She exclaimed "Ah!"
"... Sure enough, I'm still hungry."
Written request for leave
I got up at 3 a. m. yesterday to catch my flight, and then during my connecting flight in the daytime, the flight was delayed by three hours. I was more tired than I expected. But life is more important, so I'm taking the day off to catch up on sleep.

Chapter 109 A Night Between Mother and Daughter
While it's nice that the house is more lively, there are also some inconveniences.
For example, Haihara prefers a lot of private space.
Just like when this family first started out.
If it's just Little White here, it still falls under her personal space, but it's different when the Magical Puppy and Magical Bird are there.
She and her daughter had separated for various reasons, one of which was that Haihara wanted to be alone.
Currently, as Haihara gets older, she no longer longs to live alone as much.
Only occasionally.
This night was special because she came to Kazama Kiriori's house, the place where they used to live together in Maple Plain City.
Most of the items that hold memories between them are displayed here.
While Haihara was taking off her glasses to check the students' exam papers, Kazama Kiriori was taking a shower.
Haihara prefers showers to bathtubs.
I always fall asleep while taking a bath.
She sleeps here with her daughter tonight. They had dinner together just a short while ago and were planning to watch a movie later.
In the living room, you can hear the sound of running water from the showerhead.
