Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 351 - 348: Fang Mo’s Overgrown Rover

Chapter 351: Chapter 348: Fang Mo's Overgrown Rover

As everyone was intoxicated, Fang Mo made things intentionally difficult.

Makima didn't linger for long. After skillfully diverting Fang Mo's topic with a smile, she stood up, holding her head, pretending to be drunk as well, and left after paying the bill.

Others, being drunk, didn't notice anything, but Fang Mo observed everything.

It must be said, as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the Control Devil,

Makima's schemes are indeed profound.

Before achieving her goal, she can maintain her composure in any situation. Fang Mo nearly provoked her to the extreme, yet she still managed to restrain herself, something most people couldn't do.

Of course, this also relates to Fang Mo's current strength.

If it were an ordinary person daring to confront her, Makima would maintain her image and not show anger publicly, but that person would surely not see the sun the next day.

But there was no choice.

Fang Mo was too difficult to deal with.

Makima currently had no way to handle him.

According to the original story, Makima's plan was to control the Chainsaw Devil Pochita to create a world of her ideal.

For this plan, she had been preparing for a long time.

But Fang Mo appeared out of nowhere, almost disrupting all her plans.

Given Makima's personality, she would definitely find a way to deal with Fang Mo, either by using him or finding an opportunity to eliminate him. However, she didn't know... Fang Mo was actually waiting for such a move.

After all, in Fang Mo's view,

Makima's struggles were really interesting.

Soon after Makima left, the welcome party for the newcomers ended, as everyone was already drunk, so they all went their separate ways.

It's worth mentioning,

A drunken Himeno seemed to have taken Denji away.

Usually, Hayakawa Aki might have gone to bring him back, but now he himself was too drunk to think clearly. In the end, Arai and Power dragged him home, so no one cared about Denji anymore.

As for Fang Mo, he naturally returned to his own villa.

"Ah Xue, I'm back from messing around." Pushing open the door, Fang Mo called out, but soon found Ah Xue busy in the kitchen, so he curiously approached, "What are you busy with so late?"

"Welcome back, Master."

Ah Xue turned to smile at Fang Mo, then pointed at a large clay pot in front of her, "I'm learning how to pickle cabbage."

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing Ah Xue's words, Fang Mo unconsciously looked up and found that the kitchen was already filled with cabbages, along with a large pile of salt and other things. "There's really no need to do this ourselves, right? It seems quite troublesome. Wouldn't it be easier to just buy some?"

"No, I actually quite enjoy this feeling."

Ah Xue didn't mind and even smiled, "When I was studying at the Joestar Mansion, I also learned about wine-making techniques. I looked it up on the internet just now and it seems that the principle of pickling is similar to wine-making; they both involve fermentation. So, I thought of making it myself to let the master taste it."

"Is that so?"

Fang Mo smiled after hearing this and gently patted her head, "That's hard work, let's eat together after it's ready."

"Mhm."

Ah Xue happily nodded and then continued to process the pile of cabbages.

"By the way,"

Fang Mo asked, "Where is Shoggoth?"

"It's watching TV,"

Ah Xue replied.

"What?" Fang Mo was stunned, "Shoggoth watches TV?"

"Yes."

While peeling the cabbage, Ah Xue nodded and said, "That child was helping me with the housework just now, wiping the floor and cleaning the dust in the corners. So, as a reward, I let it watch TV for a while."

"I'll go see it."

Fang Mo felt a bit confused and immediately turned towards the living room.

Upon arriving in the living room, Fang Mo saw Shoggoth on the sofa, obediently curled up on a sponge cushion. Not far from it was a huge LCD TV, playing an anime from Tokyo TV Station.

Shoggoth looked very well-behaved, curled up quietly.

Although it didn't have any eye-like organs on its body, Fang Mo could feel that it was indeed watching TV.

This villa was a gift from Stark to Fang Mo, so the TV was very high-tech, apparently able to automatically decode and translate local TV programs through satellite signals, and even adaptable to other worlds.

At this moment, the TV is showing an animation that resembles a magical girl series for children, titled "Pretty Cure All Stars". Fang Mo has never seen it before and guesses it's unique to this world. Right now, Shoggoth is watching the screen with great interest, occasionally raising its little tentacles to wave in the air, as if cheering for the protagonist.

The animated show doesn't last long.

It's only a few minutes. The climax comes when the protagonist, Aguri, unleashes her special move, "Magical ☆ Embrace of Love". The evil monster is immediately engulfed in pink flames and turns into a pile of black dust.

After that, Tokyo TV starts broadcasting another program.

It seems to be a culinary show, teaching viewers how to make tempura. Yet even with the switch to a cooking tutorial, Shoggoth continues to watch intently, as if learning from it.

Soon, this cooking show also ends, and the channel switches to a parenting education program.

It's the kind of show where mothers teach their children to read and play educational games.

And it's at this moment that Shoggoth suddenly begins to change.

Its body starts to squirm, and then it begins mimicking the voices from the TV program in a hoarse and intermittent way: "One... Two... Mom... Mom..."

"Tree... Lion... Sun... Egg..."

"Good job, baby... Learning so fast..."

"Tempura is super delicious..."

"Ah,"

"I am the magical girl Aguri."

Initially, Shoggoth's voice is hard to listen to and discontinuous, but in just a few minutes, it starts speaking fluently.

Even its tone of voice keeps changing.

It starts with a child's voice, then shifts to that of mothers, followed by the voice of a host.

Finally, it mimics the voice actor from the animated show: "Take this, sweet Flame Fist! Burn all evil away with the magic of love!"

"Wow, Shoggoth, are you a parrot now?"

Seeing this, Fang Mo couldn't help but start to tease: "I kind of want to show you JOJO now. It would be awesome if you could mimic Takehito Koyasu's voice..."

"Ji?"

Upon hearing Fang Mo's voice, Shoggoth suddenly reacted.

Excitedly, it jumped onto the ground and quickly bounced onto Fang Mo. Then, it began to act coquettishly towards him, stretching out a small tentacle to poke Fang Mo's fingertip.

"Good boy."

Fang Mo chuckled and extended his fingertip to poke it back.

"Chirp! Chirp chirp!"

Shoggoth, seemingly happy after hearing this, began to move its tentacles and called out to Fang Mo.

These calls were meant to boast of its achievements, indicating that it had helped with household chores that day, was very obedient, and also that it found the television very interesting. It even expressed a desire to make tempura for Fang Mo.

"I've already heard about it."

Fang Mo placed Shoggoth on his hand, petting it a few times like a small dog: "Very good, indeed a good boy, deserving of praise. Then, I'll let you eat more meat when there's a chance."

"Ah, Shoggoth."

Hearing this, Shoggoth also joyfully let out a cheer.

"This is not the right time to say that phrase." Fang Mo poked Shoggoth. "Try another one."

"Tempura is super delicious?"

Shoggoth said this at first, but then seemed to think it over and changed its words: "Meat, super delicious."

"That's right."

Fang Mo casually took out a piece of raw meat and handed it to Shoggoth: "Here, as a reward."

"Chirp!"

Shoggoth cheered, and then its palm-sized body suddenly opened up, turning into a black membrane that instantly swallowed the raw meat.

Seeing this, Fang Mo materialized a few more pieces of meat and placed them on the ground for Shoggoth to eat slowly.

Actually, if this were in the Marvel Universe, at this time, Fang Mo would have already been lying down preparing to sleep.

Unfortunately, this is the world of Chainsaw Man, and without the help of Mantis Woman to sleep, Fang Mo couldn't dream even if he fell asleep. So, he simply decided not to sleep and spent the night playing with his new pet, Shoggoth, which seemed quite nice.

In any case, the night passed without incident.

Time soon arrived in the morning of the next day.

After a night of instruction, Shoggoth had already learned many things.

Apart from the most basic literacy and speaking, Fang Mo also showed it some animal world and cute pet programs. Since Shoggoth itself is an amorphous creature, it has now learned to mimic and transform into a strangely-shaped black puppy.

Of course, since Shoggoth has just been born, its mimicry is not yet perfect.

This puppy is entirely black as ink, its fur looks a bit messy, and it has six glowing eyes on its head, making it look nothing like a normal dog.

However, Fang Mo doesn't mind.

He happily attached a leash to Shoggoth and then took it outside.

Because training Shoggoth, plus the time spent looking for a collar, took a while, Hayakawa Aki and the others had already gone out for breakfast, but the specific address had been sent to Fang Mo's phone.

Thus, Fang Mo walked the dog while following the address given by Hayakawa Aki, heading towards the location of Tachibana Cafeteria.

However, just as Fang Mo arrived at Tachibana Cafeteria and was about to enter, a huge explosion sounded. It seemed like a gigantic fox head burst through the entire second floor, and then the whole restaurant exploded without any warning.

Accompanied by a series of deafening sounds, Tachibana Cafeteria collapsed into rubble before Fang Mo's eyes, leaving only a door handle in his hand.

"lol!"
