Oni no Ou to Chigire - Chapter 6 Pg 109

At that time, Tokimori, who had just entered the third

grade, wore the Japanese coat his parents had ordered with their

family coat of arms on it and hakama, as directed and arranged for by

Katsumoto, with Yato riding on his shoulder. He was more nervous

meeting the head of the household than he was at the ceremony. It was

because he knew very well that despite being the clan’s long awaited demon

master to be born in ten years, he was unable to employ any demon

other than a small ten centimeter one. Even though the number of demon

masters were declining, the amount of requests coming into the Yase

family were increasing. They needed demon masters and demon servants

that could take on the bigger jobs, but Tokimori and Yato were of no

use to them. The head of the household was disappointed in them.

That’s why he never came to the contract ceremony or to the jobs he

was told he would normally be present at. That was the reason he

assumed even as child.

Tokimori remembered very little about the actual meeting

with the head of the household. Their conversation had been set up to

be thirty minutes, but he never questioned him even once, and was

lectured one-sided about devoting himself whole-heartedly to the Yase

family, and to cherish his demon servant, and was done in less than

ten minutes. More than disappointed, it was like he was indifferent

to them. Tokimori figured later in life that was a good thing. If he

would have yelled zealously at him, possibly the most cowardly demon

master in the history of the Yase family, to work hard, do your best,

we’re counting on you, he would have been so shaken up he would have

done nothing but cry.
