Chapter 45: Met a pervert on the way home~

Johan, who was on his way to the company, picked up the phone that made the noise. With a helpless smile on his face, he glanced at the message and intimate pictures that Ayano sent on behalf of Shiina.

It is indeed impossible for people living in this world to be independent of the world. Johan walked lazily on the street with his hands in his pockets, walking slowly and in no hurry.

All kinds of people coming and going, cars driving around, car horns and people talking, all come together to form this vivid and lively world.

Johan took some time to arrive at his company and went into the office after being greeted by the employees in a friendly manner.

Sitting in the office chair and watching the company's game sales on the computer continue to rise, Johan also knows that it will be time to prepare for the next game after a while.

The two games Sekiro and Devil May Cry have brought huge profits to Johan, and gamers in Europe and the United States naturally love these two games very much.

It's just that Devil May Cry is more popular there than Sekiro. The background and setting of Devil May Cry, as well as the passionate songs, all hit the sweet spot of Westerners.

He also looked at the type of game that online game fans wanted him to make next. More than 80% of them wanted him to continue making action games, and the rest were just some scattered opinions.

"Please ask Raiden to release a new version of Devil May Cry as soon as possible. I can see that the story of Dante and Vergil is not over yet. Don't dig holes and don't fill them!"

"Is there a sequel to Sekiro? It's so boring to play other action games after playing Sekiro. Raidensha, please don't stop!"

"I love fighting. Please continue to make action fighting games!"

Needless to say, these opinion posts left on the official website of Raiden Society were pinned to the top, and some people were also queuing up to petition.

Floor 1: I completed all the endings of Sekiro, and I felt quite empty after finishing the game, because I didn't feel the same way when playing other action games.

Second floor: Raiden Society must be responsible. You have spoiled my hands and gaming senses.

Floor 3: I really like Raiden's action games, so please continue.

Floor 4: Can Raiden Society produce a game that ordinary players like us can enjoy?

...

...

Looking at these petitions, Johan pinched his chin and thought for a while, and also turned his attention to action games.

Flipping through the gloomy game catalog, Johan was looking for the latest game to make, preferably a game like Sekiro and Devil May Cry that could lay a foundation and background for him in the early stages.

And this time he doesn't plan to release those more difficult games, as required in the post.

It's best to have a game that makes players feel very refreshed when playing.

"Well, it's you!"

After browsing the game catalog for a while, he found that some higher-level games were temporarily in his plan, so he focused on games that could enhance his foundation.

His attention was fixed on "Prototype" in the game catalog. This game met Johan's requirements and was also suitable for those players who wanted to experience the fast ganking of the game.

The first part of the game Prototype can be said to be a classic among classics in Johan's previous life. Even after many years, some people will still mention that game and want to download it to revisit it!

The protagonist Alex Mercer, also known as Brother A by players, has never been forgotten by veteran gamers.

The super powers granted by the Blacklight Virus make it extremely fun to play.

One person can climb walls and run across the city, and even challenge an army single-handedly.

Johan also wants to obtain Alex's abilities. Although Alex's power may not be as strong as those of the game protagonists with a higher level of worldview for the time being, when it comes to his growth potential, no one dares to underestimate Alex.

You have to know how long it took Alex to become strong enough to take a nuclear bomb? It was only eighteen days in the world!

His incredible ability to evolve is what Johan wants very much.

Of course, it doesn't take much time to make just this one game, so I have a lot of free time.

When Johan was thinking about his choice, he unexpectedly remembered his previous experience of going to the game hall and found "The King of Fighters" and "Street Fighter".

These two games will allow Johan's influence to extend to game halls, and lay an indelible foundation in the memories of gamers around the world.

The two games "King of Fighters" and "Street Fighter" do not need to be lit up in the game catalog, they are the kind that are opened randomly.

The two games that Johan is going to make will not be 2D versions. Although the game entertainment in this era is relatively backward, the quality of the games is not low.

In this era, the 3D style with exquisite painting style and smooth appearance is more suitable.

"Prototype" is the main game, and the remaining "King of Fighters" and "Street Fighter" are just to expand the company's influence.

After the game was finalized, Johan immediately began to work on the game script and plan.

The character designs of King of Fighters and Street Fighter were also released one after another at Johan's terrifying speed.

With his programming speed, by five o'clock in the afternoon, Johan and his employees had completely prepared the foundation of the game.

The character designs of King of Fighters and Street Fighter were all designed by Johan himself, and the rest of the game process was handed over to his own employees, allowing them to do it according to his requirements.

He has also asked someone to contact the managers of major well-known arcade game halls to finalize the cooperation matters.

Prototype is the most important game. Johan works with his employees on game programming and design. All matters need to be submitted to Johan for review after completion. He cares very much about his own interests.

After get off work, Johan put down the phone he was on to end the call. A lot of cooperation items had been finalized today.

After buying a lot of things from the commercial street, Johan also bought some cakes that Kasuga Sei wanted to eat from the cake shop. Although Johan could make them for him himself, Kasugana seemed to be used to eating a certain flavor of cake before he met him.

On the way home again, Johan felt a familiar gaze staring at him...and saw something in his hand, so he immediately turned his head to look.

The corners of his mouth twitched and his forehead was full of black lines. He was carrying the cakes, bread and cooking sauces he had bought, and looked speechlessly at the silver-haired girl sitting in the corner not far away.

The familiar armor, the gorgeous purple dress, the unforgettable shining silver hair, squatting in that slightly dark corner, looks as cute as an abandoned kitten.

Eucliwood stared at Johan with his emotionless sapphire blue eyes...

She had a big bag of food in her hand, which seemed to include her favorite pudding.

You're just going to stay here and not leave, right?

Johan felt helpless. After all, he was a necromancer with great power. There was no need for him to end up on the streets.

Besides, he had given the girl a lot of money before, so she could at least find a temporary place to stay.

Although using the power of words would cause her to suffer from severe headaches, as long as she opened her little mouth, wouldn't others treat her well?

Looking at the pitiful silver-haired girl who was curled up like a kitten, Johan lowered his head and avoided her gaze.

Then, seeing the faint expectation in the girl's eyes, Johan turned around and walked away.

No delicious food was given to her.

stare--!

Johan suddenly felt the gazes behind him become more intense. Eucliwood's deep blue eyes, as gorgeous as gems, were shining with moving light, staring closely at Johan's gradually receding back.

Eucliwood lowered her somewhat lost eyes and pursed her pink lips. After Johan completely walked around the corner and disappeared from her sight, the girl took out the yen that Johan gave her from her pocket in silence.

Eucliwood bought some rice balls from a convenience store and ate them bite by bite. He felt like he was chewing wax. The rice balls in his hand were not delicious at all.

Looking down at the half-bitten rice ball in her hand, the girl recalled the lunch box that Johan had given her before. Any ingredient in it was no match for the rice ball in her hand.

After eating it only once, it seemed like her taste had become more picky. The girl was so willful that she blamed Johan for it all.

Buzz...

Suddenly, Eucliwood, who was eating to fill her stomach, stopped as she sensed a familiar wave of magical power in the distance.

It seems to be... the breath of Megalo.

*********

The perspective returns to Johan, who sighed softly after making up his mind not to have any contact with the silver-haired girl.

The guilt in his heart that would never dissipate made even him feel strange and irritated, as if he would be committing a heinous crime if he did not help the girl.

The other party is a top-level expert and doesn't need his help at all. Johan doesn't want to expose himself to the public for the time being.

Although that Eucliwood seems very pitiful now, Johan also has his own difficulties.

Snap!

Johan was walking home while thinking about something, when suddenly a burly figure in a black suit jacket stood in front of him.

Johan wanted to take a detour, but the other party blocked his position again.

The young man stopped and changed his calm gaze into cold silence, focusing his eyes on the burly figure.

The other party stared at Johan closely and said something that made Johan's butt tighten: "I...I want you!"

Shit! Want him!?

Judging from the other person's appearance, he is a man. What the hell are you thinking of him for saying such words while peeping at other people's butts! ?

Johan stared at the other person with a look of rubbish, but the other person became even more aggressive and took a step forward to get closer to Johan...

"I want you to be mine!" Seeing the dead look on Johan's face, the man in the suit said something that made Johan want to kill him, and his tone was full of endless desire.

Hearing this, Johan, whose expression had turned completely cold, put the things in his hand into the space backpack and clenched his fists so hard that his bones crackled.

"I want it!" He repeated the sentence again, and the tall man in a suit immediately swelled up in front of Johan's slightly surprised gaze.

First, his hands quickly turned into red and powerful crab claws, and then, the two claws quickly cut open the clothes, revealing a huge lobster head!

Looking up and down at the other person's weird image, Johan's expression of surprise gradually turned into a thoughtful look, and he also remembered the other person's identity.

"Megalo..."

The low whispered words reminded Johan of who the other party was, because the other party's previous misleading words made him temporarily forget it.

After all, you are a serious man. If a burly guy suddenly says something like "I want to get you" on your way home, what would be your first reaction?

Now that the other party has revealed his true form, Johan also remembered his identity.

Megalo is a tool used by the villains in the underworld to deal with the "magic girl". It can detect the magical aura emitted by the magic girl very keenly. Most of them are animals wearing clothes.

Megalo transformed into an animal with a pure human soul and the soul of a demon girl.

Almost all of them wear various kinds of clothes, like dolls. They look cute but are very ferocious.

Why would a weapon specially designed to fight against a demon girl...

"Why did you appear in front of me?"

Johan said with some confusion. After all, this was a weapon used to deal with the demon-clad girl, so how could it be in front of him?

Wait, he swallowed a certain murderous demon girl before, could it be that...

"There's no mistake. Although it's very faint, there is indeed a little breath of the girl in magic costume!" The big lobster stared at Johan and talked to himself. He became excited when he spoke the last part, and his two big red claws collided hard and made a crackling sound.

The big lobster waved its pair of big red claws excitedly and rushed towards Johan with great momentum.

clang!

"What!?"

The lobster Megalo's face showed a look of shock. Facing the hammering of its claws that could easily flatten steel, Johan simply raised his hand and caught the opponent's huge claws.

The lobster Megalo's claws tried to break free from Johan's palm under its control, but it couldn't move forward or backward.

How could this human with the faint aura of a demon-clad girl have such power?

Click, click...

In an instant, a bone-chilling cold current was released from Johan's palm, and endless ice crystals instantly invaded the body of Megalo in front of him, freezing the opponent's huge body in the ice that emitted cold air, leaving only the huge shrimp head unfrozen.

"How could this be!?" Under the shocked gaze of the lobster Megalo, Johan with an indifferent expression stretched out his palm and placed it on its head. Then a magical light flashed, and Johan also read the memory of the Megalo in front of him.

It seems that what he thought was right, because the demon-clad girl Kyoko whom he swallowed before gave his aura a hint of that of a demon-clad girl.

Although it was very weak, it was still detected by Megalo, who specialized in dealing with girls in magical costumes.

After all, Megalo specifically targets girls in magic costumes, so they can naturally detect the magical aura emitted by girls in magic costumes very keenly.

Johan was just unlucky and was accidentally targeted by this Megalo.

"What bad luck! I guess I'll have to ask the little sora to help me get rid of this aura when I go back..." Johan muttered to himself in the shocked gaze of the lobster Megalo. After reading the other's memory in an instant, before the big lobster could continue speaking, the biting cold current completely covered the other's lobster head with ice.

This Megalo is nothing to Johan, and is even weaker than the lost demon in the ghoul's nest before.
