turn them into dishes.

“I see.
Suryuu is still following Arthur as usual?”

We were on our way to the restaurant when Himiko suddenly said as if she had just thought of something.

“You know Suryuu, Himiko?”

“She’s been attached to Arthur like a shark for the longest time.”

“Really?”

“My sister was always fondling Suryuu’s belly, and then Suryuu would hit her in the head.”

“That’s right, Suryuu is surprisingly quite violent.”

“I think that was Himiko’s fault.”

Himiko looked completely unconcerned, and Suryuu chuckled.

“Five years ago, Suryuu arrived, and then Arthur–“

“This is where you eat?”

“This place is quite charming.”

The place where Himiko had stopped was a restaurant with a sign that said “Tetsuya.”

“Tetsuya?”

“It’s read as Kuroganeya, and pronounced like that.
Hello, is brother Kurogane around?” {both can be read as iron shop}

I mispronounced the store’s name, and Himiko showed me the correct way to read it, then stood in front of the store and started calling out someone’s names loudly.

I see the store is run by a man named Kurogane, so it is called “Kuroganeya.”

As I was thinking, I heard the sound of footsteps and the door of the store was opened, a huge man from the oni race, almost two meters tall, appeared.

“Oh, isn’t it Teppimi! Do you want to have breakfast?”

“Don’t call me that!”

“Isn’t it okay?  Your buddy was the one who gave that nick you, didn’t he? I think it suits you.”

“It doesn’t!”

Teppimi was a nickname for Himiko, which was created by the residents of the message board played on Himiko’s player name, “Teppen Himiko.”

I didn’t think that an NPC would call her by that nickname.

But Kurogane told me that it stuck in his memory when she told the story of how her complaints were made fun of on the bulletin board, and Himiko told Kurogane this story because she considered him a friend.

That aside.
When he looked at me, he then observed my whole body.
His expression brightened, like ‘WOAH’.

“Oooh, you’re the one my sister was talking about; you are Sukuna!”

“Yes, but… sister? could it be that your sister is Akagane?”

“How did you know that? She told me that you’ve been a big help, which is a big blessing to her.”

With an incredibly refreshing smile, Kurogane affirmed my question.

I only took a wild guess because the names Akagane and Kurogane are similar, and I somehow associated them with macho onis.

As I patted my chest, relieved that I hadn’t made a mistake, A-chan muttered with a serious expression.

“You’ve got three more siblings with a similar name.”

“Ooh! How did you know that, young lady? I indeed have three more siblings, though none of them are in this village at the moment.”

Kurogane looked at A-chan with a surprised look on his face, probably because A-chan’s simple mutter was so accurate.

I might have had a similar expression on my face.

We were surprised, but A-chan looked somewhat satisfied.

“A-chan, that’s amazing.
How did you know?”

“There’s something called Go-Kin{Five Metal}.
I’m sure your viewers know about it.”

“Is that so? Let’s see…”

<↑ Look at that ~>

<↑ Isn’t that foreshadowing?>

<↑ Oohh!>

“So smart.”

I see.
So there are three more siblings.

A-chan didn’t seem too happy to have her words unexpectedly correctly explained, and Kurogane was still tilting his head in amazement.

As we were all admiring our newfound knowledge, although it was relatively unimportant, Himiko intervened and giggled.

“I already knew that!”

“Himiko.
Do you want to respawn?”

“No, I don’t want to die.
Yet.”

“Ha-ha-ha.
It’s a joke, a joke.”

“UUuuu ……!”

“Ha-ha-ha! What’s this Tepimi, so Meguru is not the only one you’re getting along with.”

Seeing how Himiko reacts, Kurogane laughs.

And then, without stopping his laughter, he went on to add.

“I don’t want you to stay in the doorway forever, so why don’t you go inside? I’ll make you a nice meal.”

Kurogane then gave me a wink that didn’t fit his huge body.
