After saying that, the chubby uncle prepared to go and rest.
"Hey, boss, someone's here looking for you at the mall!" At that moment, a middle-aged man who looked like an ordinary passerby approached Yuriko Takagi and said to her.
That person looked like a random passerby.
"Huh?! Someone's in the mall?! Who?! Male or female?!" Upon hearing her younger brother's words, Yuriko Takashiro immediately asked.
"Yes, boss, it's a man. He brought several women with him, and Ms. Takagi Saya is among them," the henchman replied to Takagi Saya.
"Huh?! What?! A man? Takagi Saya is in there too." Upon hearing the henchman's words, Takagi Saya's expression turned serious.
There was only one man in the mall, Shen Gongyu. He actually came to find her with his men, and at this particular time, it was quite unusual.
"What did they say they came to see me for again?!" Yuriko Takashiro asked her underling who was reporting to her.
"They only said they wanted to talk to you about something," the subordinate reported.
"Huh?! You've come to talk to me about something?! This..." Upon hearing her younger brother's words, Yuriko Takashiro's expression became even more serious.
"Hey, boss, they're all carrying supplies!" the subordinate who was reporting reminded Yuriko Takashiro.
"What?! They're carrying supplies?! It seems the matter at hand is quite important!" Upon hearing her subordinate report that Jingu Ichi's group was carrying supplies, Takashiro Yuriko frowned slightly.
After thinking it over, Yuriko Takagi sorted out her thoughts and then asked her underlings to take her to see Ichi Jingu.
……
"Mr. Jingu, it's so late, is there something you want to discuss with me?!" Upon arriving in front of Jingu, Yuriko Takagi immediately greeted him with a smile.
While greeting them, Yuriko Takagi also began to sized up Jingu Ichi and the others in front of her. She was surprised to find that they were all carrying some or less supplies.
There was food and drink, and one person was carrying a large water bucket, which probably had enough water for them to use for several days.
That water was probably clean water used for washing things.
"Mr. Jingu, are all these supplies you brought for us?!" Yuriko Takagi didn't beat around the bush and asked Jingu directly.
“Yes, that’s right. These supplies are all prepared for you.” Jingu I replied to Takagi Yuriko.
"Yes! These supplies were specially prepared for you by Master Jingu Ichi, Mother. Please don't refuse them!" Takagi Saya said to Takagi Yuriko.
"Huh?!" Looking at the supplies in Jingu's hands, Takashiro Yuriko was also stunned for a moment, then became a little serious. She did not immediately take the supplies.
Yuriko Takagi's underlings were eyeing the houses that Yi Jingu and the others were holding with greedy eyes.
If it weren't for Yuriko Takagi being able to keep them in check, they might very well have gone back to rob those supplies.
Of course, this is on the premise that their people can win.
Yoel, Shiraki Meiko, Busujima Saeko, and others are all here. If that group really wants to steal supplies, they'll have to think it over carefully.
"Mr. Jingu, you're planning to give us supplies?!" Yuriko Takagi looked at Jingu in surprise.
“Yes, that’s right.” Jingu Yi nodded in response.
"Mr. Jingu, these supplies aren't free, are they?!" Yuriko Takagi looked at Jingu and asked.
Although Yuriko Takagi doesn't know much about Ichiro Jingu, he's not the kind of person who gives away supplies for nothing.
"Hehe, of course, the supplies aren't given away for free," Jingu I said to Takagi Yuriko.
"Oh, so there are conditions after all!" Upon hearing Jingu I's words, Takashiro Yuriko's lips curled into a slight smile.
Just as she expected, Shen Gongyi suddenly took pity on her and gave her supplies.
"Mr. Jingu, is there something you need from us that you're giving us these supplies?!" Yuriko Takagi asked Jingu.
"Yes, I do have something to ask of you," Jingu I replied to Takagi Yuriko.
"Here's the thing, we'd like you to stay here temporarily." Jingu Ichi opened his pocket to Takagi Yuriko.
"What?! Just stay temporarily?! Is that all you ask?!" Upon hearing Jingu Ichi's request, Takagi Yuriko's eyes widened in surprise.
"Of course, that's not all we're asking. We also hope you can be responsible for the surrounding area's security. If anything happens, please let us know immediately," Jingu I said to Takagi Yuriko.
"Huh! That's it?!" Takashiro Yuriko was still incredulous after hearing Jingu Ichi's words.
Because this requirement was too easy for her.
"Boss, this request isn't unreasonable! Why don't we just agree?"
"Yes, boss, this request isn't too unreasonable. We can totally agree to it."
"What are you waiting for, boss?!"
Upon hearing Jingu Ichi's request, Takagi Yuriko's group of underlings also spoke up for her.
"..." Yuriko Takagi touched her chin, a conflicted expression on her face.
She originally planned to leave with her people tomorrow, since she had a conflict with Jingu Yi and his group from the beginning.
It's clear that Shen Gongyi and his group didn't take that matter very seriously, otherwise they wouldn't have kept them around.
"Alright, since Jingu Ichi is willing to give us supplies, let's stay here for now." Takagi Yuriko thought for a moment, then replied to Jingu Ichi.
Yuriko Takagi felt there was nothing wrong with staying here for the time being, since she wasn't very familiar with the surroundings.
Moreover, leaving tomorrow would be a bit rushed.
She felt she could stay here for a while, and after gathering some supplies, she would look for another place to establish her own shelter.
Moreover, Yuriko Takagi doesn't want to live under someone else's roof!
"By the way, Mother, why haven't I seen Father?" Just then, Takagi Saya suddenly asked Takagi Yuriko.
“Ah, this…” Upon hearing Saya Takagi mention Soichiro Takagi, Yuriko Takagi’s face showed a sorrowful expression.
"Huh?!" Seeing the sorrowful expression on Yuriko Takagi's face, Saya Takagi had already guessed the worst possible outcome.

"Mother, my father, what happened to him!?" Seeing Yuriko Takagi's sorrowful expression, Saya Takagi guessed the worst possible outcome.
"..." Yuriko Takagi looked sad and didn't say anything.
Her expression at that moment said it all.
"Mother, has something happened to my father?!" Seeing the sad expression on Yuriko Takagi's face, Saya Takagi asked her.
When she asked the question, Takagi Saya also observed the expressions of the other people around her.
When the others heard Saya Takagi talking about her father, their expressions became subtle.
"Um, Miss Takagi Saya, Takagi Soichiro rammed his car to clear a path for us to cover our escape!" The fat man said to Takagi Saya.
"After ramming a path through us, the car caught fire, and Brother Takashiro Soichiro didn't get out of the car." Then, the fat uncle continued.
"What?!" Upon hearing the fat man's words, Takagi Saya also showed a shocked and incredulous expression.
In her mind, her father was a perfect person who could handle anything perfectly and was also an excellent leader with hundreds of followers.
She never imagined that her father would leave in such a tragic way.
"Mother, is this true?!" Saya Takagi looked at Yuriko Takagi and asked her.
"Mm." In response to Saya Takagi's question, Yuriko Takagi closed her eyes and nodded.
Although Saya Takagi didn't want to tell Saya Takagi about it, it was the truth after all!
Moreover, this matter cannot be kept secret forever.
Saya Takagi threw herself into Yuriko Takagi's arms and burst into tears.
Huh?! What?! Takagi Soichiro is gone?! Upon hearing the conversation between Takagi Saya and Takagi Yuriko, Jingu Ichiro's expression became subtle.
If Takagi Soichiro had only been bitten by a zombie, perhaps Jingu Ichi could have saved him with a healing spell. But according to Takagi Yuriko's underlings, Takagi Soichiro seems to have been completely obliterated.
It couldn't be more ridiculously four-dimensional.
It's completely beyond saving!
"Sigh~ Originally, I wanted to keep this a secret for a while, but who knew you would suddenly ask about your father, Nunu." Looking at Saya Takagi, who was sobbing uncontrollably in her arms, Yuriko Takagi patted her head and comforted her.
"Mother~" Takagi Saya said, her face flushed as she laughed and sobbed.
It's normal to have this reaction when you suddenly learn of the death of a close relative.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jingu, I'm sorry you had to see this." Yuriko Takashiro apologized to Jingu.
"It's alright, I understand." Shen Gongyi waved his hand, appearing understanding.
[Ding~ Taking in Yuriko Takashiro and the others has earned you 440 experience points in the Demon Simulator.]
Experience points: 1218/1000.
[The machine has been upgraded to level 2.]
[The simulator has been upgraded; the number of days that can be simulated has been increased to three.]
Experience points: 218/2000.
Huh?! The emulator has been upgraded?!
The sudden upgrade of the simulator caught Jingu Yi off guard.
"Hmm!? Mr. Jingu, what's wrong?!" Noticing that Jingu's expression was off, Takashiro Yuriko immediately asked him with concern.
"Nothing, I was just thinking about something else," Jingu I replied to Takagi Yuriko.
"Seriously, why are they giving out so many experience points?! Did Yuriko Takashiro bring that many people?!" Jingu I was also puzzled.
[Reporting to the host, Yuriko Takashiro's group consists of 26 people. Two main characters are worth 100 experience points each, and the remaining 24 people each provide 10 experience points.]
At that moment, a phantom voice rang in Shen Gongyi's ears.
That's the sound from the emulator.
