After leaving the house, Satou went to a nearby bank to withdraw money.
After withdrawing money from the ATM, Tohru bowed respectfully to the ATM and said, "Thank you very much."
Satou looked at her in confusion and asked, "Tohru, why are you thanking a machine?"
"Huh? Didn't the person inside just give Satou the money?"
Tohru asked strangely.
Satou: "..."
"No, there's no one inside."
Satou said.
"Really?"
Tohru was immediately startled, a very surprised expression on her face.
Then she leaned closer, curiously examining the ATM machine up and down with her orange-red vertical pupils, and even tapped on the screen a few times with her hand. From her appearance, she seemed to have a strong urge to open it and take a look.
"Hello, is anyone inside?"
She called out.
Everyone in the bank looked over in surprise.
Satou was quite helpless and could only say, "Tohru, there's no one inside. Let's go."
He was very worried that Tohru might suddenly break the machine, and then people would definitely think they were robbing the bank.
"Alright."
Tohru reluctantly looked back once more, but ultimately left with Satou.
Satou took them to the cinema, bought tickets, and then queued up to buy popcorn and cola.
"Hello, what would you like to order?"
When it was Satou and the others' turn, a beautiful red-haired female vendor smiled and asked him.
"Eh? Aren't you that Hero? Did you change jobs?"
Satou looked at Yusa Emi in front of him, startled.
Yusa Emi was also stunned, then subconsciously exclaimed, "Demon Lord! Are you planning to blow up the cinema?"
Satou: "..."
Everyone around them looked over in surprise. Yusa Emi's face immediately flushed red as she realized she had lost her composure.
"By the way, are you working here part-time on your day off to supplement your household income?"
Satou asked, looking at her in confusion.
Yusa Emi, whose truth had been exposed, immediately felt a pang of guilt. Her face red, she stammered, "Th-that's not it at all! I just wanted to gain a deeper understanding of this society, so I came to experience it."
"Is that so?"
Satou looked at her suspiciously, but didn't say much more. After buying popcorn and cola, he left.
Watching the family's retreating figures, Yusa Emi crushed a cup of cola directly, her face turning green with anger.
Why, why was the Demon Lord's family living such an easy life, even coming to the cinema to enjoy themselves on their day off, while she had to work part-time to earn money?!
It was simply too unfair!
"Excuse me, I'd like a cup of cola and a bucket of popcorn."
At this moment, someone beside her spoke.
"Ah, alright, please wait a moment."
A smile immediately appeared on Yusa Emi's face, and then she respectfully poured a cup of cola and handed it to the customer.
On the other side, Satou and the others sat together in the mall, eating popcorn and drinking cola, waiting for the movie to start.
Tohru and Kanna clearly loved eating popcorn. Their mouths were full, and their cheeks were covered in popcorn crumbs. Before the movie even started, two large buckets of popcorn were gone, along with two large bottles of cola.
Satou was a bit speechless and had to turn around to buy two more large buckets of popcorn and cola.
Finally, the movie was about to begin.
"Wow! What a big TV! Satou, can we buy a TV this big for our house too?"
Upon entering the cinema, Tohru was astonished by the massive movie screen in front of her, her orange-red vertical pupils sparkling.
Kanna was the same, cupping her small face and repeatedly saying "incredible."
"This isn't a TV, you know."
Satou was a bit helpless, "This is a screen."
"Screen? Is it magic?"
Tohru asked in shock.
"Uh, you could say that."
Satou thought for a moment and said.
"Put these on."
Satou handed the 3D glasses to the two of them.
"What are these?"
Tohru curiously examined the glasses up and down, "I've seen these on TV too."
"Hmm, you'll be able to see more clearly when you put them on."
Satou said.
"Alright."
Tohru nodded.
Soon, the movie began. Kanna laboriously climbed onto her chair and placed the full bucket of popcorn on her small, stubby legs.
"I say, Kanna, with so much popcorn, can you even see the movie?"
Satou glanced at her; the popcorn was almost taller than her head.
"I'll finish it very quickly."
Kanna said in a naturally dazed tone, then opened her mouth, swallowed a large mouthful, and began to chew.
"Alright."
Satou said helplessly.
The movie the three of them watched was "Avengers."
As soon as the movie started, Satou heard a small gasp from Tohru beside him. She was clearly seeing a 3D movie for the first time and was awestruck by the immersive feeling.
"What terrifying magic."
She whispered.
Satou was a bit speechless.
When they saw Thanos beating up the Hulk, Tohru, who had been sitting next to Satou, suddenly jumped up, spread her arms, and stood in front of Satou.
"Tohru, what are you doing?"
Satou asked, a little strangely.
420 "I saw that person inside was very dangerous, and I was worried he would harm Satou, so I wanted to protect Satou."
Tohru answered very seriously.
Satou found it both amusing and touching, and said, "He won't jump out of there."
"Really? But it feels so real."
Tohru scratched her head, smiling somewhat sheepishly.
Soon, Tohru and Kanna were completely engrossed in the movie's plot, occasionally letting out gasps of surprise and tightly clutching Satou's hand.
Even Kanna forgot to eat her popcorn.
There were even several times when Tohru nearly leaped from her chair, thinking the characters inside would jump out and wanting to protect Satou, but fortunately, Satou managed to pull her back.
After watching the movie, Tohru and Kanna were both very happy.
"Nana, Satou, are there Titans in this world too? When will he come here?"
On the way back, Kanna shook Satou's hand, asking incessantly.
Satou was a bit helpless by her questions and said, "Uh, he probably won't come anytime soon, right?"
"Hmph hmph! Even if that guy comes, I can protect Satou!"
Tohru laughed triumphantly, "I'm very powerful!"
However, very quickly, she seemed to think of something, her eyes dimmed, and she said somewhat sadly, "But what if he uses that gauntlet? If Satou disappears, where will I find him?"
