From the size of the room, the wallpaper, the choice of the desk, the comfort of the four-piece bedding set, the types of dolls, the color of the pajamas...
Everything was chosen by Zenin Kiyoshi for Yamata no Orochi.
Throughout the entire process, Orochi maintained a starry-eyed gaze at Zenin Kiyoshi.
At this moment, she only felt that she was the happiest Cursed Spirit in the world.
Besides her, what other Cursed Spirit could enjoy this kind of treatment?
That two-faced, four-armed idiot outside didn't count. That guy wasn't a pure-blooded Cursed Spirit at all; he was a human, a human with a strange appearance.
However, while tidying up her own room, Orochi also secretly peeked at Sukuna through the crack of the door a couple of times.
That guy was simply a completely different person from a thousand years ago.
Even now, Orochi couldn't associate the guy瘫 sitting on the sofa, crossing his legs and playing a video game, his eyes occasionally glancing at the TV, and the mouth on his abdomen constantly chewing snacks, with the King of Curses from a thousand years ago.
Using the human world terminology she had just learned, wasn't that state just a "deadbeat otaku"?!
But because Zenin Kiyoshi was there at the time, Orochi didn't pay too much attention to Sukuna, and just kept sticking to Kiyoshi.
Orochi left a part of her weak soul in the body of the little pink snake outside, as an anchor for her to keep her soul awake.
And most of her soul chose to reside in Zenin Kiyoshi's inner world to be nurtured.
It wasn't that Kiyoshi's inner world had any special ability. The so-called nurturing was just Orochi's way of repairing her soul.
The technique of dividing the soul might seem difficult to others, but for Orochi, who had once controlled eight heads at the same time, this matter was no different from eating and drinking.
When Zenin Kiyoshi was in the inner world, because Orochi's attention was all on him, there would be no conflict with Sukuna.
But when Zenin Kiyoshi left, this conflict inevitably began to occur.
And that was why the atmosphere between them was so cold now.
The reason for their conflict was also very simple. It wasn't because of the old grudge from a thousand years ago, but rather because of today's new enmity.
Sukuna was a willful guy. In the living room, he liked to listen to the TV with the volume turned up very loud, but he wouldn't watch it. He just used the sound of the TV program as background noise.
But because Zenin Kiyoshi didn't consider the effect of sound insulation when he built Orochi's room, every time Orochi wanted to nurture her soul, she would be interrupted by Sukuna's damned TV sound.
She had also tried to negotiate with Sukuna, but his attitude clearly angered her. Therefore, the two of them had actually been in a state of sword-drawn tension since last night.
If it weren't for the fact that both of them were restraining themselves because of Zenin Kiyoshi, they would have probably already fought a world-shaking battle in his inner world.
And today, when Zenin Kiyoshi entered the inner world again, he was made to feel exhausted both physically and mentally by the stiff and cold atmosphere that hit him.
Sukuna looked at the Zenin Kiyoshi who had appeared in front of him, his expression cold, and he didn't say a word. And Orochi said to Kiyoshi with a resentful face:
"Kiyoshi-kun! That four-eyed bastard kept the TV on all last night, and the volume was turned to the maximum. Even though I told him several times, this bastard still insisted on his own way. If this continues, my soul nurturing will definitely be affected!"
And before Zenin Kiyoshi could answer, Sukuna's slightly mocking voice had already come:
"What a common excuse for the weak. When your own ability is insufficient, you think of letting the environment adapt to you. And that's the reason why you had six of your heads cut off by me a thousand years ago, and had to self-destruct one head as a means of escape!
When you don't have the ability to change the environment, what you need to do is to adapt yourself to the environment, instead of complaining to that brat here. With you being like this, even in ten thousand years, I can still casually cut off all your heads!"
Hearing Sukuna's words, Orochi did not feel ashamed or sad as he had expected. She just looked at Sukuna with a very plain and disdainful gaze, and then said:
"Do you think that after I complain to Kiyoshi-kun about this, he will help me change the environment?
I did lose to you a thousand years ago, but that was only because my combat experience was not rich enough, and I lost to you because I didn't understand your technique.
If it were to happen again, the outcome of the battle between you and me would not necessarily be as clear as you expected.
Finally, I'll tell you one more thing. After I told Kiyoshi-kun about this, he will definitely help me change the environment!"
Speaking of this, Orochi directly turned her head and looked at Zenin Kiyoshi beside her, the expression on her face was a kind of almost superstitious certainty.
And Sukuna at this time also looked at Zenin Kiyoshi, and his cold gaze seemed to be filled with a kind of inquiry of "I'd like to see how you're going to help her change it."
Feeling the two completely different gazes, Zenin Kiyoshi only felt a headache for a moment.
After getting the Succubus System, he had actually thought that this kind of situation might occur, but how to put it, he felt that it would at least be in a very late stage, at least when the affection of those who were conquered reached eighty or more would this kind of jealous [Pseudo-Shuraba] appear, right?
What's going on now? This kind of situation is happening so early?!
However, fortunately, for this situation, Zenin Kiyoshi had already made a prediction in his heart. Although it appeared a little earlier than he had expected, how to deal with it was not difficult at all.
The answer is simple: just maintain a good balance.
Even if the problem cannot be solved, you must maintain a good balance.
This [Pseudo-Shuraba] is essentially a test of Zenin Kiyoshi's ranking of the importance of everyone who is vying for him in his heart.
And at this time, you must absolutely not reveal any hint of the order of priority.
Otherwise, once this happens, then for all subsequent situations, he will have to rank them. For those who are ranked higher, they will naturally be very happy, but what about those who are ranked lower?
Does Zenin Kiyoshi still want to gain the affection of the other party?
Therefore, at this time, he only needs to do one thing.
Take good care of their feelings, and at this delicate juncture, try to think of a solution to the problem as much as possible.
Fortunately, the problem in front of him was very easy to solve. He just needed to find some soundproof materials from the real world and install them in Orochi's room.
However, since this situation has already occurred now, he still needs to be more careful in the future.
He will be returning to Tokyo in a while. I heard from Masamichi Yaga that...
