Chapter 154

The world of yokai that came through the Drifting Restaurant.

This place had no color.

To be precise, it was a strange world where all colors except black and white had disappeared.

Ah, of course.

It meant that the scenery had no color.

As for me, of course.

The yokai next to me, and the Fox Girl’s appearance, remained the same.

Perhaps living, breathing creatures…

No, it seemed that the bizarre phenomenon of losing color didn’t apply to living, moving animals.

“This is a peculiar world…”

I said as I slowly looked around at the scenery.

The yokai who came with me also seemed fascinated by this world, blinking their eyes as they admired the scenery.

[Wow…]

[Popo. Po…]

[Reubangyi.]

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—This other world is different from what I imagined.

[Yoho]—It feels like 3D creatures moving on a white canvas.

[Big Girl]—It’s like a world drawn with ink on white paper.

[Balloon Gum Collector]—Wow! The harmony of 2D and 3D!

[Maid]—Wow! Not a place I’d want to go!

[Maehwa Tree]—Is this an ink wash painting world?

[Min Ji]—Since only living things have color, it feels a bit surreal.

[Drifting AI]—I’ll say it. It’s called ink wash painting.

[Reverse Rape Mania]—This other world is cool…

[Semen Thief]—Wow. This world is really fascinating…

[Qkrnfl892]—I expected a Western-style other world like in anime. Medieval Europe or something.

[Meng Yao]—It’s a world of yokai with a nine-tailed fox. Why would it be medieval? It’s normal for it to be Eastern-style.

[Handsome Licker]—She’s a ten-tailed fox. *Lick*.

[Se-hoon Defense Team]—Nah, she’s a four-tailed fox.

[Jujijoa]—The name “four-tailed fox” sounds too grand. It’s better to just call her a fox yokai.

As we were all staring blankly at our surroundings…

*Pop!*

Suddenly, a small sound like a balloon popping was heard.

The source of the sound was near the Fox Girl.

I turned my head toward the sound immediately.

Where the Fox Girl was standing, thick fog had gathered.

*Pssss…*

The fog slowly cleared after a while.

And where the fog had completely disappeared.

There stood a small fox with four legs firmly on the ground.

[Reverse Rape Mania]—Cute fox.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—Disgusting, damn it.

The fox stretched its front legs and shook its body.

“Kyuah! It’s more comfortable being in my original form than disguised as a human!”

Listening to her, it seemed that this was the Fox Girl’s true form.

“Kyuwooo…!”

After making a strange sound and finishing her stretch, the fox began to gather six fake tails that had fallen to the ground.

[Se-hoon Defense Team]—LOL, she’s gathering them so naturally.

[Handsome Licker]—Do you only attach them when in human form? *Lick*.

[Maehwa Tree]—Why does she even carry them around?

The fox gathered the six tails and approached a black tree with an X mark.

Then.

She placed the tails in a hole dug near the tree and covered them with white soil.

“Storage complete!”

The fox patted the ground with her front paws to flatten it.

“Ah.”

The fox suddenly sighed and stopped what she was doing.

After glancing at us.

She dug up the ground again, took out the tails, and started stuffing them into her chest.

It seemed she thought the hiding spot was no longer safe since we had seen it.

She was treating us like potential thieves.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—How does that even fit in her chest?

[Big Girl]—She’s a yokai.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—Shut the hell up, damn it.

[Se-hoon Defense Team]—She probably uses some kind of subspace pocket.

“Hey… We have no intention of stealing that, so you can just keep it in the ground.”

I spoke in a tone that suggested disbelief.

The fox, sweating profusely, replied.

“I-I wasn’t doubting you! I never intended to store it here in the first place!”

“…Ah, okay.”

It was obviously a lie, but I pretended to believe her to avoid arguing.

The fox, seemingly embarrassed by her actions, awkwardly laughed and quickly changed the subject.

“Um… So, the world I live in has no color, so it must feel strange, right?”

“Yeah, it’s a bit strange.”

“I also felt strange when I visited the Drifting Restaurant, where there’s color.”

“Yeah.”

“…Oh, right! And I heard that our world wasn’t always like this. It used to have color!”

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—The fox suddenly got talkative.

[Qkrnfl892]—LOL, she’s talking about stuff no one asked.

[Meng Yao]—LOL, she must be flustered after being caught treating Se-hoon like a thief.

The fox, wanting to bury the previous incident, started explaining the history of the world at a rapid pace without being asked.

‘I’m not really curious, but… Since Reubangyi, Popo, and Posun will be living here, it’s not bad to listen.’

The fox’s story went on for quite a while.

To summarize:

The reason the world lost its color.

It was the doing of a yokai queen named “Black and White Ghost” who ruled in the past.

That queen yokai is now sealed.

But since she’s only sealed and not destroyed, the world remains colorless.

This world originally had a overwhelming number of humans.

But when the Black and White Ghost began to rule long ago.

Most yokai started eating humans on sight, causing the human population to dwindle.

And since then, this world has been called the “World of Despair.”

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—Boring at first, but it’s getting interesting.

[Reverse Rape Mania]—Learning about other world history is fun!

[Handsome Licker]—Mania, you should study our world’s history instead. *Lick*.

[Reverse Rape Mania]—Shut up. Not interested. -_-

[Big Girl]—Mania, I also wasn’t interested in history at first, but once I started studying, it became quite fun.

[Reverse Rape Mania]—Really? Maybe I’ll try it.

[Handsome Licker]—Damn it. *Lick*.

“And there are yokai without color, different from regular yokai. They followed the Black and White Ghost, so be careful of them.”

Walking through the black and white forest, the fox continued her story.

“Kyu. Kyuwoo. Kyukyuu.”

[Posun.]

[Popopo…]

So that the yokai could understand.

The fox repeated the story in what seemed like an ancient language.

Unlike Reubangyi, who seemed uninterested in history.

Popo and Posun were listening intently, finding the fox’s story fascinating.

[Reverse Rape Mania]—Reubangyi isn’t paying attention to the fox’s story.

[Balloon Gum Collector]—Wow. She’s just messing around.

[Jujijoa]—She must not be interested.

Later.

When the history lesson was almost over.

I asked the Fox Girl something I had been curious about.

“By the way, what’s that ancient language you mentioned earlier?”

“Ancient language? Hmm… To put it simply, it’s a language that we yokai can instinctively use.”

“Really? Even if we live in different worlds, yokai can communicate using the ancient language?”

“I also just found that out today. I didn’t know yokai from other worlds could use the same ancient language. Ah, but if you want to communicate smoothly with other yokai, it’s better to learn our world’s language. We don’t use the ancient language much in daily life.”

“Is the language you’re using now a language created by yokai?”

“No. I heard it was a language created and used by humans in the past. Back when there were more humans than yokai.”

As we were talking.

I glanced at the fox walking beside me.

‘Hmm…’

Looking at the Fox Girl’s face, I felt something strange.

It seemed like she was walking without a clear destination.

Like she was just wandering aimlessly.

Hoping it was just my imagination, I subtly asked her.

“…Hey. By the way, where are we heading now?”

“Huh? I was just following you guys?”

“……”

“Why do you look like that?”

My ominous预感 was correct.

This stupid fox wasn’t guiding us; she was just mindlessly walking with us.

[Qkrnfl892]—LOL, they were just following each other.

[Se-hoon Defense Team]—A parade of idiots. LOL.

[Big Girl]—I’m speechless.

[Semen Thief]—She’s dumber than me.

[Balloon Gum Collector]—Wow! What’s that fox doing?

[Maid]—Wow! She’s thoughtless!

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—Damn, I want to beat that fox.

[Jujijoa]—I really want to punch her.

[Meng Yao]—If you punch her, her head will explode and she’ll die.

[Min Ji]—What? Logically, shouldn’t the native of this world be guiding us?

[Yoho]—She must be a yokai without common sense.

[Handsome Licker]—She’s as dumb as Mania. *Lick*.

[Reverse Rape Mania]—?? I’m not that dumb. -_-

[Maehwa Tree]—Sigh. She’s more clueless than I thought.

[Drifting AI]—I’ll say it. The maid is probably smarter than that fox.

To be fair, it wasn’t entirely the fox’s fault.

I was also partly to blame.

If I had asked for proper guidance from the start, this wouldn’t have happened.

Well, it’s not a big problem since I can still ask for directions now.

Just as I was about to ask her to recommend a place for our yokai to settle…

*Thud.*

*Thud.*

*Boom-!*

Suddenly, the ground shook violently as if an earthquake had occurred, and countless black leaves scattered like ink on the white ground.

And the moment the tremors stopped.

A massive shadow loomed over us.

A deep, bone-chilling voice echoed from the sky.

“Vagina… Sex…”

We froze in place.

Simultaneously, we looked up.

[Yoho]—Gasp?!

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—What the hell is that?

[Semen Thief]—It’s a vagina yokai.

[Reverse Rape Mania]—Guburi yokai. O.O

The fox trembled and muttered in a frightened voice.

“Ugh, Yumbugi…!? Why is that here…?”

A towering figure over 10 meters tall.

A body painted in black and white, having lost its color.

A grotesque appearance with countless female genitalia covering its entire body, including its head.

“Penis… Found…”

[Jujijoa]—?

And a yokai with vulgar words dripping from its mouth, staring down at us with empty eyes.
