It hurts... but what's worse is the hunger... I'm so hungry...
My little brother…that’s my little brother…it’s so nice…
Why can he sleep in a warm bed, drink warm rice porridge, and have his face rubbed with his father's stubble with a smile?
Why can't I? Just because I'm a girl?
I also want to... never mind...
I just want to eat my fill and stay warm.
That group of people has arrived. Is this war?
The village was overturned, blood was everywhere, and my parents and younger brother were reduced to pieces.
I escaped disaster by chopping wood on the mountain.
But there are no fruits on the mountain in winter, and I'm so hungry. I haven't eaten for two days.
Father…Mother…Brother…Flesh…
Can I... eat this?
I'm so hungry... I just need to survive!
The blood is so pungent... the meat is so sticky... but I want to eat it... as long as I can survive, I will eat it!
When did that person arrive?
He is so beautiful, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a noble air, and cat-like red eyes. He is so pretty, like the moon at night, and unique.
"Oh? Humans? In a place like this..."
He asked me in a low voice, "What are you doing? Eating them?"
"Because... I'm hungry..."
The man smiled, a smile that was both eerie and beautiful.
"That's right! Hunger is the most primal and powerful desire in the world."
"What's wrong with plundering others to satisfy hunger and to survive?!"
"You are honest and very interesting... I have high hopes for you."
He reached out, his fingertips gathering a power of temptation and destruction as he pierced my mind.
"Become a ghost, gain eternal life and power, and from now on you will never feel the pain of hunger again."
You can eat as much as you want.
Since then I've eaten so much...so much...
I really won't go hungry anymore...hehe...
It's so delicious... I want more... I want to eat even more!
Countless chaotic and bloody scenes, like a gluttonous beast devouring its prey, flashed by like lightning.
eat!eat!eat!
No more hunger! No more cold! My strength is growing! I can easily seize everything I once longed for!
Villages, towns, and passersby... all became my hunting grounds and food sources.
"Hehe...hehehe..."
I grinned, a satisfied smile spreading across my face: "I want more! I want to eat even more! Even more..."
"Urgent report! Urgent report! The Fourth Lower Moon, Zero, has been killed in Tsukigura Town! The killer is Rank 7 member Yasui Ryosuke!!!"
The cawing of ravens echoed across the brightening sky and into every corner.
Ubuyashiki Residence.
Under the eaves, Yaozai paused slightly, and Tenon, who was kneeling beside him, also raised her head.
The couple exchanged a glance, and a relieved smile appeared on their faces simultaneously.
"He did it."
Yaozai's voice was gentle and warm: "I knew it, he could do it."
Tenon nodded slightly: "Mr. Yasui has once again exceeded our expectations."
Sabito, Giyu, Akira Moriyama, and the others who were doing their morning exercise stopped at the same time and looked in shock in the direction from which the sound came.
"The...the fourth lower moon?!"
Akira Moriyama exclaimed in shock, "Ryosuke-san, he took down the Lower Moon all by himself?!"
"Great!"
Sabito clenched his fist and exclaimed, "Ryosuke-nii is amazing!"
Yi Yong gave a very objective evaluation.
Obanai Iguro, who had just finished a round of training, also heard the news, and his lips under the bandages pursed tightly.
Mr. Ryosuke has gone so far...
He must work even harder!
Inside the house, Kanae, who was helping Shinobu Kocho straighten her clothes, paused slightly.
Wow! That guy is amazing!
Butterfly blinked and looked at her older sister beside her.
Kanae nodded, her face showing worry rather than joy, her delicate brows furrowed slightly.
"The Lower Moon Demon... Mr. Ryosuke... is he alright?"
Ryosuke is in a very bad state right now!
His body was completely hollowed out, with multiple muscle tears and several broken ribs.
When Hikari found him, Ryosuke was half-covered in blood and unconscious.
Yin sent him back to Taoshan as quickly as possible.
For six whole days, Ryosuke struggled in a deep coma and intermittent high fever.
Jigoro brought out all his treasured medicinal herbs, and Uzui Tengen also used some ninja secret medicines.
Pear Blossom stayed by her bedside day and night to take care of her.
On the afternoon of the seventh day, Ryosuke's eyelashes trembled, and he opened his eyes with difficulty.
My blurry vision gradually focused, and what came into view was a face filled with displeasure and complex emotions.
"Hey, are you awake?"
Shota leaned against the door frame with his arms crossed, his tone still as sharp as ever.
"I have absolutely no idea how you managed to kill the Lower Moon. What kind of incredible luck did you have?"
Ryosuke forced a weak yet irritating smile.
"Hey, Xiao Xiangzi, watch your tone when you talk to your buddies from now on. I'm going to be your pillar from now on..."
Shota's face instantly darkened, and he chuckled and cursed.
"Screw you! Let's talk about this when you can get out of bed! That punch almost shattered your internal organs!"
Just then, a loud bang came from the doorway.
The two turned around and saw that the wooden basin that Pear Blossom was carrying had fallen to the ground, spilling water all over the floor.
She stared blankly at Ryosuke, who had just woken up, her big eyes quickly filling with tears. Then she burst into tears and rushed to the bedside.
"Ryosuke-nii! Waaaaah... I was so scared! I thought... I thought..."
She was crying so hard she could barely speak, her shoulders trembling.
Ryosuke winced in pain as she pounced on him, but still managed to offer words of comfort.
"It's alright, it's alright, I'm very resilient, I'm still alive..."
At the entrance, Jigoro and Uzui Tengen were also standing there at some point.
The old man breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw his disciple wake up.
Uzui Tengen gave Ryosuke a thumbs-up and mouthed the words.
Ryosuke smiled at him.
Pear Blossom cried for a while, then got up to pour water and get medicine, bustling around doing so.
Shota pursed his lips at his sister's expression. Although he was unhappy, he didn't say anything, turned around, and left, closing the door behind him.
Ryosuke was deeply moved as he watched Rinka's busy figure.
But when Ryosuke weakly raised his hand, he suddenly froze.
His other fingers were very dry, except for two that were relatively normal.
Ryosuke leaned closer and took a sniff.
Chapter 48 The Scumbag Boss's Layoff Annual Meeting
He looked at the pretty figure humming a tune, his feelings complicated.
"That...that, pear blossom..."
Pear Blossom turned around, revealing an innocent smile.
"Hmm? What's wrong, Ryosuke-nii? Are you still feeling unwell? Would you like some more water?"
Ryosuke asked, his gaze unfocused, "You...did you...do something to me while I was unconscious?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Pear Blossom's ears turned red instantly.
Her eyes flickered, and she twirled her index fingers behind her back, trying to appear calm.
"No, no, Ryosuke-nii~ I've always been taking care of you!"
