After dinner, as the city lights came on, the entire city was immersed in a soft night.
However, the laboratory on the 7th floor of Yuzuru's residence presented a completely different scene, filled with ghostly noises and unusual activity.
"The spectral analysis of the lantern ghost shows..."
"The Tang Paper Umbrella Demon's spinning speed can reach..."
At the lab table, Shiho Miyano used the Time Cloth to transform herself from a little girl into a genius scientific beauty.
Wearing a loose-fitting white lab coat, her casual attire couldn't conceal the cool and aloof aura she exuded. At this moment, she was concentrating intently on making experimental records, her pen flying across the notebook.
The monsters lined up for a "physical examination," each one looking utterly hopeless.
The scene of the little girl turning into a beautiful girl startled the monsters, but then they suddenly realized what was going on and said, "How can children these days be so terrifying?"
So, the Great Demon King isn't human after all!
Who among humans can change shape like a magician?
Of course, the monsters would never dare to say these things to Ai's face. They could only exchange glances and tell each other about their tragic experiences when she was focused on taking notes.
"Snap—"
Shiho Miyano used tweezers to precisely pick up a rock sample taken from the wall.
"1.5 times the density of ordinary granite, but 37.8% higher in toughness..." the tea-haired girl murmured to herself, her voice soft yet revealing a rigorous scientific approach. Her pen flew across her lab notebook, leaving behind neat, dense lines of writing. "This doesn't conform to the fundamental laws of materials science..."
"Ugh... Scientist, could you be gentler?" Tu Bi huddled on the lab table, the once-hard rock surface now trembling slightly like jelly. "I... I'm afraid of pain..."
Shiho didn't even look up: "Quiet. Science requires sacrifice."
As he spoke, he snapped off another sample with a "snap".
"Ah—!" Tu Bi let out a shrill scream, which startled the lantern ghosts waiting in line for their physical examinations, causing them to extinguish their flames with a "poof," plunging the entire laboratory into darkness.
"Smack!"
The lights came back on, and there stood Yuzuru, who had appeared by the light switch at some point, with a slice of iced watermelon in his mouth.
"It's quite lively here~" he said, carrying a plate of sliced fruit and walking briskly into the laboratory.
Since Mingmei started growing various fruit flowers using the Evolution Flower Pot, she no longer needs to buy fruit from outside.
If you want some, go find the watermelon pitchers and get one.
The monsters queuing up for experiments heard their master's voice, and their previously despairing eyes lit up as if they had seen a savior. Just as the demon green was about to cry for help, Hanyu Nan stopped it with his next words:
"Please cooperate a bit, don't let our great scientist worry." He walked to the lab bench and placed the fruit platter next to Shiho. "It's all for the sake of science, after all~"
The monsters: "..."
Is it really appropriate to talk about science with monsters?
With teary eyes, Yingcao tugged at Yusheng Nan's sleeve: "M-Master..."
"Good girl~" Yuzuru rubbed her head and turned to Shiho, saying, "Don't bully her too much."
Shiho Miyano recorded the data without looking up: "Science requires a rigorous attitude."
She suddenly looked up, a sly glint in her icy blue eyes. "How about... you be the control group?"
Yuzuru immediately took a step back: "I suddenly remembered I have something to do..."
"Ha, men."
Shiho gave a soft hum and continued to bury herself in her research.
Seeing this, the monsters were utterly desperate—even their master was afraid of this scientist, what hope did they have left?
It seems I have no choice but to accept my fate and be studied.
"Speaking of which..." Yuzuru changed the subject, picking up a test tube and shaking it, "You've been researching since after dinner, have you come up with any interesting results?"
Shiho narrowed her eyes, a glint of wisdom flashing in them: "These yokai have structures completely different from ordinary creatures, yet they adapt perfectly to our environment..."
She pointed to the samples under the microscope: "Look here, their cellular structure, it's simply..."
As Yuu Nan watched Shiho talk incessantly, he suddenly noticed that when she talked about her profession, her eyes would sparkle like stars, and her whole being seemed to be infused with a magical power, radiating a captivating brilliance.
"...So theoretically, they should belong to quantum state life forms." The pretty girl finally finished her explanation full of technical jargon.
"Mmm, that's really impressive." Yu Shengnan nodded perfunctorily, forked a piece of melon, and held it to her lips. "Why don't you take a break?"
Shiho instinctively opened her mouth to catch it, only then realizing she had rambled on with too much technical information. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she coughed lightly: "Anyway... these monsters are very valuable for research."
“Of course,” Yuzuru smiled and fed her another piece of fruit, “but shouldn’t we let them rest now?”
Shiho glanced at the time and nodded somewhat reluctantly: "Let's call it a day."
The monsters, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, all ran away in a flash.
In other words, the Yokai Box cannot collect the Yokai's fear value; otherwise, given their fear of Ai, it would be easy for it to reach the maximum level in no time.
The laboratory fell silent as the monsters scattered.
After finishing the last note, Shiho slowly stood up and stretched gracefully.
