After being reincarnated, I became a pastry chef and opened a dessert shop called Time with my friend Mitsuri in Yokohama.
Our customers must really like it, because whenever they try our desserts, they smile with happiness.
Yokohama is often caught up in turmoil, but whenever our shop gets into trouble, there's always a customer who steps up to protect it.
The Gravity User: Warning, gravity manipulation!
Former Serpent Hashira: Warning, Serpent Breathing!
Water Breathing crew: Warning, Water Style: Beheading!
My little brother, all the way out in Hachihara: Warning, yokai sleep paralysis!
My childhood best friend: Warning, Clow Cards!
The beloved son of the jujutsu world, with a sweet tooth: Hollow Technique, Purple
The former assassin writing in the corner starts pulling out a gun...
Mitsuri is so moved that she hugs me and says, "Seigetsu, it turns out everyone really loves our desserts~"
Watching our enemies get beaten to a pulp, I sigh, "Yokohama is so nuclear-peaceful today, too."
Chuya has a secret: he likes Fujiwara Seigetsu, the pastry chef at Time Dessert Shop.
Seigetsu is an ordinary person living in a world of light. As a mafia executive, he doesn't dare tell her how he feels, afraid that an enemy organization might hurt her.
As long as she is safe and happy, he doesn't mind if they can never be together.
Later, on the fifth basement level of the Shibuya Fukutoshin Line station, Chuya is surrounded by countless monsters. Just as he is about to crush them with gravity, he sees
Seigetsu floating in midair, her body radiating holy white light as she looks down at the monsters with a frosty expression.
"Natsuki."
At her words, Chuya sees one of the dessert shop's employees, the man with a bun who is always smiling, turn into the katana in Seigetsu's hand.
Seigetsu swings the blade with her right hand. In an instant, her figure becomes a streak of white light, darting among the monsters.
The monsters howl, and blood sprays everywhere.
"No wonder she's a god. She's terrifying."
"Even as a divine weapon, Suguru is still amazing~"
Not far away, the blindfolded white-haired man who is always pestering Seigetsu claps with a cheeky grin.
Riko, the dessert shop's second employee, folds her arms and fumes. "That's so unfair! It was supposed to be my turn to become a divine weapon for Lady Seigetsu to use!"
Nearby, Seigetsu's friend Mitsuri swings a monster into the crowd of monsters and exclaims excitedly, "I taught Tsuki her swordsmanship!"
Chuya's mind goes blank. He can't think, and his pupils tremble in shock.
"...Huh?"
It turns out that the woman he likes isn't ordinary at all. In fact, she isn't even human.
Please note:
1. Chuya is the pairing: pastry chef x Gravity User, with Chuya secretly having a one-sided crush on her.
2. The Demon Slayer cast is reincarnated together in the modern world. Includes Hozuki's Coolheadedness's version of Hell and the setting of Yato as a god.
3. The pastry-chef heroine has a god secret identity, a golden finger, and immense strength.
4. The Gravity User pretends he isn't in the mafia, while the heroine conceals her identity as a god.
5. Chapters 1-11 cover the heroine and the Gravity User at age fifteen. They set up the story, and events move quickly, so the pacing is fairly fast. In this arc, the heroine is an ordinary human with no special abilities. She is weak and can get hurt. She gets her golden finger at the end of the arc, but it isn't handed to her outright; she has to go through certain experiences to earn it. [Highlight]
6. The main story begins in Chapter 12 and leans toward soothing, everyday life. [Highlight]
Coming soon:
When a Demon-Slaying Taoist Joins Tokyo Jujutsu High
There's a rumor that Tokyo Jujutsu High's first-year class has a new exchange student, a Taoist priest from China
While the jujutsu sorcerers fight desperately, covered in blood, and struggle to defeat curses with jujutsu, she casually pulls out a yellow talisman and wipes out a Grade 1 curse.
When the sorcerers are surrounded by a special-grade curse and plunged into despair, she pulls out another yellow talisman, forms hand seals, and mutters something. The special-grade curse vanishes with a howl.
5t5, whose prey has been stolen, silently lowers his hand.
The curses summoned by Geto shrink back the moment they see her.
Suguru: ...?
The old clan heads of the Big Three Families, obsessed with inherited techniques and bloodlines, are left baffled, their worldviews shattered.
Li Xiao'an, the demon-slaying Taoist, calmly waves her sleeve and walks away without a care.
"Even the ghosts in Japan are strange."
"What era are you living in? Your Big Three Families are so backward. You're nothing but a bunch of old fossils."
Only her grumbling lingers in everyone's ears.
///
5t5 and Geto are intrigued by the new exchange student's technique, so they agree to go make friends with her.
5t5 knocks on her dorm room door with some Kikufuku in hand. "Xiao'an, wanna hang out?"
Xiao'an: "Reading scriptures. I'm busy."
Geto knocks on her dorm room door with a cake. "Li, the cake shop has a new cake that's really good. I saved you a piece."
Xiao'an: "Reading scriptures. I'm busy."
When she refuses to budge, 5t5 and Geto grab a megaphone and shout from downstairs, "Li Xiao'an, are you coming out or not? Come out if you've got the guts!"
Li Xiao'an, who is reading her scriptures, has had enough. She jumps straight out the window and sticks a yellow talisman to each of their foreheads.
Li Xiao'an: "You're noisy."
5t5, frozen in place: ...??? Eyes trembling in shock.jpg
Geto's stockpiled curses fly out and run away in an instant.
Geto: !!! My curses! Arm reaching out.jpg
The Brain, lurking in the shadows and coveting someone's body, is blinded by the golden light around Li Xiao'an the moment he sees her.
The Brain: What are all those weird beads on that woman's body?!
Li Xiao'an carries a little jar and holds a yellow talisman in her hand. Wherever she goes, the "evil spirits" scatter.
Chuya pairing, coming soon:
Reborn as a Mermaid Princess, Shocking the World with Chuya: In the sound of my singing, Chuya can do anything.
