18 Raisins on Pizza

"Protagonist? What's that? Can you eat that?"

"It's the person where this world revolves around."

"Oh. I see. Then, how do we find that guy?"

"..." The Demon God suddenly became silent. "So, you see, about the wish--"

"Hey, did you just try to avoid the question?"

"...Lay off me." He averted his eyes, "To be honest, I still don't know. That's why we're going out later. But first, let's deal with your family problems. You're so damn low in cash."

"Anyway, If we can get out of here by just doing your body's former soul's wish then it's good. If not, then we will weaken the seal by throwing the world out of its normal path by killing the protagonist. But we have to act discreetly or things will get harder."

"...And you said that we can't kill anyone?"

The Demon God sighed, "You can't kill anyone except the protagonist. If you kill someone other than him... You'll be caught and it'll be harder for you to kill him. So try not to antagonize anyone."

The Demon God thought for a while and decided to let Yun Xie go on a horror movie binge just to scare her from doing idiotic things. Like aliens being caught and experimented on. If not, he'll never know when Yun Xie will be caught by the police.

He continued explaining this world and common sense to Yun Xie patiently, just like a caring mother to a baby. He told her about the important stuff, but he didn't delve deeper because of the limited time they currently have. All that while, his lips are tightly pursed as he kept questioning himself. 'What am I doing with my life...?'

When he finally finished explaining this world, Yun Xie nodded in understanding.

"Huh, so there are rules... Sounds like a pain. Then, how about you? Why can't you just kill him? I'm sure you can easily escape." Yun Xie asked.

"Can't. Well, not yet. We still lack information, so we need to watch how things go for a while. If someone stands out, then we have our protagonist. We also don't know when I'll turn back to a dog."

Alderam frowned. There's also something bothering him in this world. It's like a strange force was mixed in here. Something feels completely off. It's like... Right, it's like finding raisins on pizza.

"If this is a dangerous world then it would be hard especially since I don't have any identity yet, unlike you. We don't know what kind of people are here."

"Haa.. What a pain." Yun Xie lied down on the soft bed with both of her arms under her head acting as pillows. "Ah, right. You said grant 'my' wishes, but I don't know what it is."

"Read the notebook. Try to act like the former host, okay? Don't raise suspicions."

Yun Xie nodded and opened the notebook. The moment she opened the notebook, her eyes widened in shock as she stared at it frozen.

Seeing that Yun Xie kept staring at the notes without moving nor saying anything, he spoke, "Understand now?"

Yun Xie stuttered without averting her eyes from the notebook, "I... I..." Yun Xie audibly gulped,"T-this is..."

"What? You're that surprised?"

"Are you an idiot? I can't read that. Translate it." Yun Xie's face immediately returned to normal.She threw the notebook and aimed it at Alderam's face. After throwing it, she sleepily rubbed her teary eyes.

'What the hell...' Alderam felt his eyebrows twitch again. This damned girl... Just wait till they get back to the Cultivation World!

Yun Xie yawned, "Wake me up when you find the protagowhat."

"..."

Alderam felt his veins throbbing. Pissed, he threw the notebook at her again. He walked towards the end of the bed and impassively said, "Strip."

"Say what now?"

"What. Now strip." Alderam was already starting to get impatient. Talking with this girl always gets to nowhere.

Yun Xie held her clothes tightly as she glared at Alderam, her drowsiness completely disappearing. "You... I knew it, you've fallen for me..."

Hearing this, Alderam felt the urge to cough out blood. "Damned idiot, I'll make you fall into the underworld if you continue." Alderam angrily took the clothes again and strangled Yun Xie with it.

The clothes he chose this time would be easier for her to wear. What he gave Yun Xie earlier that Yun Xie shredded to pieces is something that is really complicated for a prehistoric lady like Yun Xie, since most of the clothes they wore on that world cover their body and it's mostly robes.

He forgot that since this is the modern world where there are limited restrictions on how much skin you show, it would be confusing to her.

"Just wear it." He finally stopped strangling her and pointed at the clothes, "See this? This is a button. You insert it inside this hole... Ah, wear this underwear first."

"...This is a slingshot." Yun Xie looked at him as if looking at someone dumb.

"It's an underwear. A little bit different from the Cultivation World in appearance, but the purpose is the same..." He was pissed with the expression on Yun Xie's face, so he mocked her as well. "Well, not like it'll support anything for you, so nevermind."He placed his hand on his forehead and shook his head as he said that.

"You-! How dare you!" Yun Xie abruptly sat up straight, "One should not tell lies with a straight face! You know well that this deity is gifted!"

Alderam sighed. "...You just used your Qi to enlarge your chest. Don't act proud. To begin with, it's not really yours."

Yun Xie immediately blushed, "This is all natural, it's identical to my real body."

"Yeah, right. If I remember, back then, in the cultivation world..." Alderam once again glanced at her chest, then smirked as if seeing something funny. "It's good to dream sometimes, right? Once we return, it will shrink back anyway. Enjoy it while it lasts."

"Damn you!" Now that she was discovered, her face immediately flushed red. Yeah, alright! She's admitting it now! But, it wasn't that small, you know? It was a perfectly normal size!

"Anyway, wear it. Stop being so troublesome." He sighed, "This is getting hard... Are you really the Grand Master? It's such a simple thing. Can't you figure it out yourself?"

Yun Xie suddenly felt pissed at his words. "This deity cannot forget something she has seen once. Give me time, this deity will adapt immediately! "

"Yeah, sure. First, stop saying 'This Deity' alright? No one speaks like that in this world."

Yun Xie frowned for a while before nodding. Indeed, everyone she met so far has been giving her strange looks whenever she says that.

Yun Xie examined the clothes and tried wearing it after warning the demon god not to peek. After putting it on, she examined herself. It was a long sleeve, white blouse with ruffles. She had some trouble with the buttons, but as the grand master, no obstacles can block her path.

"Done. This is pretty hard to move in."

Yun Xie turned and saw Alderam checking a weird rectangular block. She raised her eyebrows seeing that weird object in the Demon God's hands.

When Alderam heard Yun Xie's voice, he glanced her way and stopped checking this world's market for a while.

Seeing that this time she has properly finished wearing the clothes, he felt conflicted about what he should be feeling.

Yun Xie walked and started examining herself in the mirror as she nodded, "Who is this beautiful lady? Haa, so beautiful. I'm in love... Miss, what's your name? ....Damn, it's me."

"Too bad my height is a little..." Yun Xie placed her hands on her chin in thought.

'What a narcissist... She's really an idiot.' The Demon God felt his lips twitch as he watches this one idiot skit.

He couldn't resist mocking her again, "That's because you focused growth on the chest and left out the brain and height." He stopped looking at Yun Xie and focused on fiddling with his tablet.

"Peh. Screw you, not listening." After examining herself for a while, she turned back as if remembering something important, "Ah right, I still need to get revenge."

"Hn?" Alderam replied without averting his eyes from his tablet.

"When I first got here, some ugly cows were hitting me. I wonder where they live?" Yun Xie frowned.

"You'll see them soon." Alderam smiled, "For the meantime, should we go out now?"
