Oni no Ou to Chigire - Chapter 6 Pg 113

He was the thirty-first generation head of the Yase

family household. Thirty years ago he succeeded to the head of the

household when he was a young man of twenty-five. Ever since way

before Tokimori was born, he was the one responsible for the entire

clan. He wore a blackish suit and had well-arranged salt and pepper

hair. Perhaps due to his many hardships, he looked older than his

actual age of fifty-five. He was a little taller than Tokimori, and

had a sturdy, well-built physique. Masanori watched Tokimori with

sharp eyes.

“I remember you two well, from when you came to

report about the contract ceremony thirteen years ago. The frail

child, and the small demon. I thought you wouldn’t be of much use.

Every time I saw you at the Summer Solstice Gathering for the past

six years, that impression hadn’t changed.”

“……right.”

For

the time being, all Tokimori could do was nod. It was just as the

head of household said, he wasn’t upset about it. Besides, he was glad

he wasn’t useful, almost to the point of wanting to apologize to the

head of household who was responsible for the entire clan.

“Your

small demon has been growing larger each year, but he’s still small.

According to Katsumoto’s written reports, other than being able to

talk well for a demon, nothing that should be of note has been

recorded. Tokimori, there is something I want to ask you. How many

fingers does your demon servant have?”
