Inuyasha's strength is beyond doubt.
With a health of 2200, this is not an exaggeration; it's impressive that Inuyasha, having only recently awakened from his seal, possesses such power.
Moreover, he hasn't even obtained Tessaiga yet and only knows one technique, Iron Reaver Soul Stealer.
He could easily fall into a bitter fight if he encounters any talking monster, but his growth rate is quite fast.
"Don't be shy, have a seat."
Inuyasha was very curious about Yang Tao; apart from Kagome, the humans he encountered were either wary or disgusted by him.
Yet, this stranger in front of him seemed very curious about him.
Inuyasha squatted on the ground.
Yang Tao: "Uh..."
Inuyasha currently looks like a dog... No, he is a dog demon by nature, so calling him a dog is perfectly fine.
"Inuyasha, look at me."
He stretched out his hand, pulled over an office chair, and sat down.
"Sit like this; this chair is quite comfortable."
Inuyasha was very receptive to advice. Seeing Yang Tao sitting in the office chair, he stood up and walked to another office chair. He first leaned down and sniffed it slightly, then mimicked Yang Tao and sat directly on it.
"This... thing is so comfortable to sit on."
The office chairs in the Level 4 Abandoned Office level have a special effect that makes people feel comfortable. Additionally, one can find water dispensers with refreshing and nutritious Almond water in this level, which is as outrageous as putting stimulants in a water dispenser.
"Where are you from?"
"A very, very distant place."
A steaming cup of Seer Tea appeared on the table; drinking too much of this stuff is quite invigorating.
Looking at Inuyasha's ears peeking out from his silver hair, Yang Tao suddenly wanted to touch them to see if they felt better than Chopper's.
However, reaching out rashly like that would surely make him disliked, so he needed a strategy.
With a sincere smile: "Are you hungry?"
He took out a steak from his backpack. Inuyasha's nose twitched, and a hint of longing flashed in his eyes, but he quickly turned his head and said, "You eat it; I'm not hungry..."
Gurgle~
The atmosphere became inexplicably awkward. Inuyasha stood up immediately and said, "I'm not hungry at all; my stomach just feels a bit uncomfortable. I'll be going now."
With that, he ran directly out of the room.
Yang Tao watched Inuyasha disappear into the woods and sighed helplessly.
"Tsundere male leads are no longer popular. By the way, should I have offered him a bone just now?"
After Inuyasha left, Yang Tao didn't go looking for him. With the exploration value in hand, everything was fine.
Surveying the empty room, Yang Tao summoned a wooden door and returned to the Overworld warehouse, rummaging through boxes and cabinets. All the home appliances and furniture he had collected from other worlds were stored there.
...
The next morning.
Accompanied by a chorus of birdsong, Yang Tao slowly stretched and then got out of bed. Sunlight streamed into the bedroom through the silk curtains.
Busy sounds came from the kitchen.
Yang Tao's face showed a heartfelt smile.
'Is this what home feels like? It seems pretty good...'
Fifteen minutes later in the dining room, Yang Tao sincerely apologized for his rash remark earlier.
Looking at the 'nutritious breakfast' on the table, whose raw materials were completely indistinguishable, Yang Tao looked at Jean sitting opposite him with an expectant expression: "Jean, you don't have to force yourself."
He reached out, picked up a charcoal-like object, and threw it directly into his mouth.

Poison II 00:05
Because he had the 'Antidote Container' accessory, the duration of all negative effects would be reduced to 5 seconds.
Yang Tao said in a teasing tone, "You don't have to poison me if you want to harm me; just say the word."
Jean gave him an annoyed glance and said, "This is my first time."
"First time? You want a second time?"
Jean probably hadn't touched kitchen utensils since her birth. While her desire to be a good wife and mother was commendable, it also depended on the situation.
"I'm going to dismantle the kitchen later, so you don't have any more fantasies."
While complaining about Jean, Yang Tao, with a green face, ate all the unidentified breakfast on the table. Jean stared at Yang Tao with an almost melting gaze and said, "I won't cook anymore..."
"Mm, abandon fantasy and embrace reality..."
Just then, the sky outside the window suddenly became brighter. Through the window, countless rays of light could be clearly seen in the sky.
This was the scene of the Shikon Jewel being shattered into countless fragments by Kagome's arrow.
"Heh heh... The main quest has begun!"
Now Kagome and Inuyasha would have to search the entire world for these scattered Shikon Jewel shards.
Just then, a bright light flew directly into the house from outside the window. Yang Tao reached out and gently pinched a Shikon Jewel shard.
'Shikon Jewel shard'
Accessory
Strength I
'A fragment of a powerful demon-infused orb'
"It has attributes? I should have looked at the complete Shikon Jewel yesterday."
The fantastical scene in the sky lasted for a very short time and soon disappeared.
Yang Tao fiddled with the Shikon Jewel shard in his hand, wondering if he should also collect the Shikon Jewel. While not 100% of monsters with Shikon Jewel shards were part of the main story, it was close enough.
Jean saw Yang Tao's pensive expression, stood up, walked to him, and wrapped her arms around Yang Tao from behind, saying, "You go ahead and be busy; I'll head back first..."
"Alright, I'll explore this world first."
Not long after Jean left, Kagome and Inuyasha appeared together at the villa's entrance.
Kagome looked at the modern, luxurious villa in front of her, somewhat doubting if she had seen it correctly.
'This... How is this possible? This is the warring states period...'
Especially seeing the home appliances inside through the glass, she felt it was truly too wonderful.
Just then, Yang Tao walked out of the villa, looking at Kagome and Inuyasha with a smile and saying, "The Shikon Jewel is gone?"
Kagome came to her senses, looked at the smiling Yang Tao, recalled what he had said yesterday, and said with admiration, "Prophet, you were right... The Shikon Jewel is lost."
Prophet?
This strange title was really too unpleasant.
"You can call me by my name. Are you two here to inquire about the Shikon Jewel?"
Kagome nodded again, her admiration growing stronger. Humans are like that; once they believe something, whatever happens afterward, they can't help but relate it to that belief.
"The Shikon Jewel was shattered by my arrow... I want to find it again, and I want to ask you..."
Seeing Kagome's expression, Yang Tao simply gave up and acted like a charlatan, saying, "This is the choice of Steins;Gate! Kagome, you chose correctly."
"However, some powerful monsters and bored people will also collect Shikon Jewel shards containing powerful demonic energy. You must increase your spiritual power to survive the journey of collecting fragments."
"Now I have a divine artifact that you can exchange for with the two Shikon Jewel shards on you... Do you want to consider it?"
Kagome snapped out of her admiration the moment she heard Yang Tao's words. Her grandfather was the priest of the Higurashi Shrine, and this was exactly how he marketed shrine souvenirs to customers.
Clutching the small bottle containing the Shikon Jewel shards in her pocket, she said, "Mr. Yang, I... I don't need it. I'll go back first."
She had a vague premonition that the 'bored person' Yang Tao had just mentioned was himself.
