Monster Compendium

Reincarnation is a scam!

On the thirtieth day after being reincarnated in Tokyo, Izumi Takumi finally came to terms with reality.

The legends about Tokyo boys' high schools passed down from my past life are all false.

There was no understanding childhood sweetheart, no arrogant and sharp-tongued younger sister, no shoe cabinet filled with love letters, only an empty house left by the death of his parents, a dwindling inheritance, and a handsome face.

"But you can't eat your face, and I don't want to experience the meaning of steel wool."

Izumi Takumi rested his hands on the desk, lost in thought.

Is there something wrong with My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong As Expected?

Gods in charge of reincarnation, what are you all doing? Just reincarnate already! How the hell are you reincarnating me?!

However, the only good thing about being reborn is having a close best friend.

Thinking of this, Izumi Takumi glanced at the boy in front of him who was staring at his phone and making strange chuckles.

This is his best friend, a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer—Kato Kazuma, whom Izumi Takumi prefers to call Jiahao.

The reason is that Kazuma Kato keeps talking about monsters, onmyoji, and cultivation.

He also often asks himself some strange questions, such as whether he should struggle hard and give in when he encounters Hanako-san in the toilet, or just enjoy it from the beginning.

In response, Izumi Takumi said to watch less.

"Takumi, I heard something big is going to happen today."

While Izumi Takumi was still reminiscing about the past, Kato Kazuma suddenly leaned over and whispered mysteriously.

Interrupted from his thoughts, Izumi Takumi looked at him: "What big thing happened today? Last week you said there was a demonic aura in the school, the day before yesterday you said you saw a cat-eared girl, and today, is another beast girl transfer student coming?"

Upon hearing this, Kazuma Kato awkwardly looked away, but still muttered a rebuttal in a low voice, "What I said is all true, what if it really is!"

"If a transfer student comes today, I'll eat this table right here and now," Izumi Takumi chuckled.

However, the next moment, Izumi Takumi saw his teacher leading a beautiful girl into the room.

A transfer student has actually appeared!?

"Hello everyone, my name is Yukimura Mashiro. I'll be relying on you all from today onwards. Please take good care of me~"

As they looked at the names written on the blackboard, the discussion in the classroom gradually grew louder.

"Wow, she's beautiful! Beautiful!"

"Yukimura-kun, would you be interested in joining the soccer club?"

"I'd be willing to pay a hundred million yen just to become friends with Yukimura!"

Izumi Takumi also looked at the figure beside the podium, and then froze.

Yukimura Mashiro is indeed very beautiful, with delicate features, and she also seems very friendly.

She responded positively to her classmates' enthusiasm.

But the key is the pair of cat ears on her head.

Cosplay? Or is it that young high school girls nowadays like to wear this kind of decoration to school?

Even if cat ears are trendy, the cat tail that Yukimura Mashiro always has swaying behind her can't possibly be trendy too, right?

After silently observing his classmates, Izumi Takumi was surprised to find that, apart from himself, it seemed that no one else could see the cat ears and tail.

Kazuma Kato had forgotten his boastful words and was now happily admiring the beautiful woman.

While staring at the pair of cat ears that twitched from time to time, Izumi Takumi pondered.

Then he met Yukimura Mashiro's gaze.

"How did we suddenly make eye contact? It's a little awkward."

The latter responded with a bright smile, and Izumi Takumi nodded and looked away.

Forget it, it's none of my business anyway.

Thinking of the dwindling inheritance at home, Izumi Takumi sighed.

After school, go and see if there are any suitable part-time jobs.

He really didn't want to go to the supermarket to grab half-price bento boxes anymore.

Besides causing trouble, sometimes he can't even compete with others.

"Those office workers are incredibly fast. The moment the half-price sign was put up, the bento boxes were already gone. With that kind of speed, you can succeed at anything."

Just as Izumi Takumi was inwardly complaining, he heard his teacher's voice.

"There's an empty seat next to Izumi-san, Yukimura-san, why don't you sit next to Izumi-san?"

Izumi Takumi looked up in shock.

The teacher gave himself a thumbs-up and conveyed with her eyes, "Go for it, Izumi!"

Kazuma Kato looked at himself with envy.

Feeling the hostile gazes from the boys around him, Izumi Takumi couldn't hold back any longer and mentally complained.

"Teacher, why are you trying to play matchmaker? I'm so poor I can barely afford to eat, how can I afford to enjoy my youth with a girl? I can't exactly take her to a robbery in the neighborhood, can I?"

"Why are the other boys kicking me? If they're so tough, why don't they glare at the teacher?"

After hearing the teacher's words, Yukimura Mashiro stepped down from the podium and sat in the empty seat next to Izumi Takumi.

After introducing the transfer student, the teacher began the formal lesson.

As Izumi Takumi was still pondering what part-time job to look for, a pleasant voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Hello, I don't have my textbook yet. Can I look at your textbook with you today?"

Looking up at Yukimura Mashiro with a smile on her face, Izumi Takumi nodded.

Immediately, Yukimura Mashiro put her table next to Izumi Takumi's table.

After laying the textbook out in the center, Izumi Takumi couldn't help but look curiously at the animal ears and tail.

"This texture... it doesn't seem like a decoration. Could it be real? A beast-eared girl has descended to my side?"

"Hey, Izumi-kun." Yukimura Mashiro glanced at the name written in the notebook, then lowered her voice and pointed to her head: "You can see this, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling light burst forth before Izumi Takumi's eyes.

Kazuma Kato also glanced back as if sensing something.

My best buddy is having a friendly chat with a pretty transfer student; the two of them are so close they're practically touching.

"Strange, why was there a sudden surge of powerful spiritual energy just now? Was I mistaken?"

Just as he looked away, Kato Kazuma glared at Izumi Takumi again to express his dissatisfaction.

He forgets his brothers when he has a woman in his life, like Big-Headed Son and Small-Headed Dad!

Seeing that Izumi Takumi was ignoring him, Kato Kazuma reluctantly turned back to focus on his lesson.

Meanwhile, on Izumi Takumi's side, a somewhat ethereal book slowly emerged from the radiant light.

There are four strange characters on the book cover.

Although he couldn't understand it, Izumi Takumi knew the meaning of those four characters.

[Yokai Encyclopedia]

The next moment, the book automatically opened and stopped at the first page.

[Nine-Life Cat Demon: Yukimura Mashiro]

[Details: Unlocked after collection]

[Inclusion Criteria: Affection level of 80]

[Included Reward: Detailed Explanation of Talismans]

[Inclusion Note: Being her dog might be a good idea.]

"Izumi-kun? Izumi-kun?" Yukimura Mashiro waved her hand in front of Izumi Takumi's eyes, looking at him with confusion: "You don't need to pretend anymore, I know you can see it."

Once he came to his senses, Izumi Takumi didn't deny it: "I can definitely see it, so you're a yokai?"

"I am indeed a yokai, but judging from your expression, is this your first time encountering a yokai? But aren't you an onmyoji?"

"What Onmyoji?"

Upon seeing Izumi Takumi's puzzled expression, Yukimura Mashiro's eyes lit up immediately.

[Yukimura Mashiro’s favorability +5]

"Izumi-kun." Yukimura Mashiro suddenly grasped Izumi Takumi's hand and said solemnly, "Please join us."

"What does it mean?"

However, when Izumi Takumi wanted to continue asking questions, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Looking ahead, they saw that the teacher had stopped lecturing at some point and was now staring at them and Yukimura Mashiro with great interest.

The other students around them also looked at them curiously.

Yukimura Mashiro had already pulled her hands back, pretending to be a good student listening attentively to the lesson.

"Takumi, I'm going to strangle you." Kazuma Kato said silently.

Noticing Kazuma Kato's lip movements, Izumi Takumi was speechless. He could only suppress his doubts and plan to ask Yukimura Mashiro when the time was right.

"A monster encyclopedia... This must be my cheat code, right? The benefits for reincarnated people have finally arrived?"

"And I never imagined that monsters actually exist in this world."

"By the way, what's with this inclusion suggestion? It makes me a dog of Yukimura Mashiro... Is she in the BDSM community?"

Time passed quietly, and after that, Yukimura Mashiro never approached him again to talk about yokai.

However, Izumi Takumi could tell from her constantly wagging tail that she was in a good mood.

What does it mean to join them?

I'm just an ordinary person right now, so I'm probably of no use to a group of monsters, right?

It was noon, and Izumi Takumi took out his lunchbox, intending to have lunch.

But suddenly a pair of fair thighs appeared in front of the desk.

"Izumi-kun, would you like to go somewhere nice with me?"

Upon hearing this, Izumi Takumi's mind was instantly filled with images of certain adult films he had watched in his previous life.

"The classroom after school"

After clearing his mind of distractions, Izumi Takumi asked疑惑地问道, "Where can we go in the middle of the day?"

"Go find my sister."

Who is your sister?

"Yukimura Yuri".

Upon hearing this name, information about this person immediately came to mind for Izumi Takumi.

He single-handedly reorganized the mediocre student council, eliminating the bad elements and retaining the talented ones.

At the same time, he actively manages school discipline and represents students in advocating for various rights and interests, earning him a high reputation within the school.

In terms of fame, it's not only because Yukimura Yuri is highly capable, but also because of her outstanding appearance and wealthy family background.

Another crucial factor is that the chairman is extremely strict, cold-faced, and sharp-tongued, never holding back his words.

Many people with unusual fetishes want to be given a disapproving look or scolded by the student council president.

The original owner had only heard rumors about this student council president and had never seen him in person.

But if Yukimura Mashiro is a yokai, then wouldn't Yukimura Yuri also be a yokai?

"The Monster Sisters..."

Izumi Takumi inexplicably remembered something.
