Chapter 38
I Want to Try Hugging You.

“Evil God, do you want to take a human form?”

“At first, I didn’t, but I’ve been thinking about it these past few years.”

“Why?”

“I want to try hugging you.”

This was the conversation Fang Ming Jing had with the Evil God before he returned.

He was stunned for a long time after hearing it, then felt a little happy, thinking that he would definitely not forget this conversation in the future.

He decided to help the Evil God take a human form.

Firstly, he had to prepare things like the Transcendence Pill, just in case. Then there were treasures similar to Dragon Elephant Essence Blood, and…

Fang Ming Jing suddenly thought of something, excitedly diving his consciousness into the chat group.

Stinky Sprout: “@World’s First Swordsman, are you there?”

World’s First Swordsman: “?”

Stinky Sprout: “Can you help me keep an eye out for the Human Human Fruit?”

World’s First Swordsman: “Human Human Fruit?”

World’s First Swordsman: “Okay, I’ll keep an eye out for you, but finding a specific Devil Fruit is really a very low-probability event.”

Stinky Sprout: “It’s okay, the Human Human Fruit is just a last resort.”

It would be good if the Evil God could take a human form, after all, Chopper, the reindeer in *One Piece*, didn’t look much like a human after eating the Human Human Fruit.

God’s Tongue: “Why would Ming Jing want the Human Human Fruit?”

Stinky Sprout: “I have a friend who wants to take a human form, but there’s a chance of failure.”

Seventeen-Year-Old Girl: “Take a human form? A beast?”

Stinky Sprout: “Yeah, her name is Evil God, she’s a really, really big snake.”

Seventeen-Year-Old Girl: “She sounds powerful.”

Ainz Ooal Gown: “Ah, so you’re saying… I have a question: what would happen if I ate the Human Human Fruit?”

God’s Tongue: “…”

Stinky Sprout: “…”

Seventeen-Year-Old Girl: “That question is quite interesting, actually.”

Sōsuke Aizen: “I’m also very interested.”

Aizen couldn’t help but pop up as well.

At this time, he was in a room that looked like a laboratory, holding a test tube and shaking it gently. Next to it, in a strange instrument, lay a strange-looking fruit—that was the “Air Fruit” Fang Ming Jing had fished out of the sea.

He couldn’t help but push his glasses up with his hand when he saw the topic in the chat group.

Sōsuke Aizen: “However, if Mr. Ainz wants to experience being human again, I can offer you a Gikigan to use.”

Gikigan is a type of artificial body.

Because the Shinigami in the *Bleach* world are only spirits, sometimes they need to act in the real world, so the Shinigami will enter this kind of artificial body and become able to move freely in the real world like ordinary humans.

Ainz Ooal Gown: “Oh! Is there such a way?!”

Ainz Ooal Gown: “Hmm… Mr. Aizen, if you don’t mind, can we discuss this privately?”

Sōsuke Aizen: “Okay.”

The two of them went off to trade privately.

This shows how desperate the empty nest old bones are to be human again…

Suddenly noticing that Hestia hadn’t shown up since earlier, Fang Ming Jing, worried about her condition, couldn’t help but @ her.

Stinky Sprout: “@Hestia?”

Hestia: “Ah?”

Stinky Sprout: “Are you okay?”

Hestia: “Wuu… I’ve lost my Familia, I still feel so sad.”

Seventeen-Year-Old Girl: “I said, you need to stop this. Show some god-like dignity. And think about it, what is your most powerful weapon right now?”

Hestia: “Powerful weapon… knowing the plot?”

Hestia: “Ah, no! It’s everyone in the chat group!”

Seventeen-Year-Old Girl: “Looks like you haven’t gone completely stupid.”

World’s First Swordsman: “If you need help, just speak up.”

Hestia: “…Hmm. Actually, I wanted to ask Eirina about something.”

God’s Tongue: “Me?”

Hestia: “Yes, I wanted to ask if Eirina has a recipe for fried potato balls.”

Fried… fried potato balls?

Everyone was surprised that Hestia would ask about this.

Hestia: “Because I’m working at a fried potato ball stall right now. I’ve figured it out. The reason why those adventurers are unwilling to join my Familia is definitely because I’m broke right now, and I don’t even have a place to live.”

Hestia: “So I’ve figured it out, I’m going to save up some money to buy a house so that the kids who join my Familia can have peace of mind.”

Stinky Sprout: “Suddenly, you’ve become very god-like.”

Seventeen-Year-Old Girl: “That’s the way it should be.”

Hestia: “Humph, it’s no problem at all for the little group leader to fall for me, right? Hestia, the goddess sister, will definitely accept you~!”

God’s Tongue: “But… I’ve never touched such commoner food as fried potato balls.”

Hestia: “Gah?”

Stinky Sprout: “A blow to the head. Smug.jpg”

World’s First Swordsman: “Really…”

Seventeen-Year-Old Girl: “Smug.jpg”

God’s Tongue: “But it’s okay, I can research it now, and share it with you when I’m done.”

Hestia: “You should have said so earlier, you scared me. But really, thank you, Eirina.”

Stinky Sprout: “@God’s Tongue, Sister Eirina, I want to eat fried potato balls too.”

God’s Tongue: “Mhm, once Sister Eirina is done, I’ll make a serving for Ming Jing.”

Fang Ming Jing was immediately satisfied.
