Chapter 32

Repaying debts is a matter of course, as a very upright and handsome guy, Yudou stated that this was no problem at all.

But at the same time, as a penniless person, Yudou also stated that the other party could beat him up or detain him, but if they wanted him to pay, sorry, he didn't have a single cent.

Not to mention that with his current assets, he couldn't even afford to replace a computer on the ground, let alone the entire floor of high-end equipment. Even if he sold both of his kidneys, he still wouldn't have enough to pay.

"Repaying money is out of the question. I don't have that much money to pay you, and this is all Touki's fault, what does it have to do with me?

If you really want to be compensated, go find him for the money. As for my bonus, just transfer it to my card, please."

That's right, because he heard that he might have to compensate for the losses, Yudou directly and decisively passed the buck to the little brother he had just recruited.

This directly stunned Touki, who was hiding behind Yudou, originally preparing to fight alongside Yudou.

Previously, Touki had also seen that Shingyō and Yamato Kukaha were not easy to deal with, but Yudou's non-coercive behavior in signing the shikigami contract deeply moved Touki.

So, Touki was originally prepared to fight to the death to show Yudou's high hopes for him, but who would have thought that this "conscientious" lord would casually sell him out...

When Touki noticed that the long-legged miko with the long sword suddenly glanced at his hiding spot, he immediately panicked.

Just one glance, and Touki knew he was definitely no match for her. Unlike Yudou, she didn't deliberately conceal her spiritual power.

Touki was stunned to find that her spiritual power was far stronger than his own demon power!

"Lord, I am loyal to you. I have already chosen to submit to you, you can't abandon me.

Moreover, the damage here was all caused by your attacks. Passing the buck to me, won't your conscience hurt?"

Looking at the fiercely glaring Yamato Kukaha, and then at another unkempt uncle with even stronger spiritual power than Yamato Kukaha, Touki judged that he was no match for them and had no hope of escaping.

So, he decisively appeared, reduced his body size, and tightly hugged Yudou's leg, hoping that Yudou wouldn't be heartless, especially since Touki had been prepared to offer his body to Yudou.

After becoming a shikigami, life and death would be controlled by the onmyōji, so offering his body and soul was not a problem.

"You are the most cowardly demon I have ever seen, and you have grown so big.

And didn't you hear that I was just joking?"

Looking at the tightly hugging Touki, Yudou showed a look of disgust, never expecting his first little brother to be such a fool.

In the future, if he had to fight other demon groups, Yudou was even worried that this guy might defect if he saw the situation was unfavorable...

Hearing Yudou's words, Touki raised his head, blinked his small eyes, and looked at Yudou suspiciously.

When he saw Yudou's stern and righteous expression, he couldn't help but feel guilty.

That's right, an onmyōji like Yudou, who didn't even bother to sign a shikigami contract, would never sell out his little brother.

Seeing the guilty and apologetic Touki, Hina glanced at him pitifully. From her understanding of Yudou, his words just now were probably not a joke.

After interacting with Yudou for some time, Hina had a rough understanding of his character. This guy seemed to be quite obsessed with money.

Previously, he had said he would never come here, but when she offered a 100,000 yen appearance fee, he immediately agreed, saying that helping friends was his favorite thing to do.

He even said that if there were any more difficulties, they could find him for help, and he would be more than willing to help, even if it meant risking his life for a friend!

Of course, since he had risked his life for a friend, asking for some nutritional supplements to replenish his strength wasn't too much to ask.

What? If you don't even plan to give him the nutritional supplements, then Yudou would rather not have such a friend!

"The situation is like this. I don't have the money to pay, but if you want to fight, I'm more than happy to oblige."

As Hina said, Yudou was a money lover. Even if he had the money, making him pay would be impossible.

He had already decided that if it came to it, he would take down the other party and then find a new place to live with his mother and sister.

Since he was already targeted by this so-called "Non-Natural Countermeasures Group," living a peaceful life in the future would be unlikely.

Yudou even regretted taking Hina's 100,000 yen appearance fee.

Yudou had long realized that Yamato Kukaha and Shingyō Ikkō's timely appearance was not a coincidence but a trap set for him.

"Money is indeed the root of all evil..."

Yudou slowly drew his demon-slaying sword, and Touki also transformed into his true form, a massive stone wall, ready to assist Yudou at any moment.

Touki couldn't understand why, despite being so cautious, he had still attracted so many powerful onmyōji tonight.

But now he had no choice. Following Yudou gave him a chance to survive, while being taken away by the fiercely glaring woman in front of him would likely mean either being killed or forced to become someone else's shikigami.

Compared to that, Yudou seemed like a conscientious lord, so Touki naturally decided to do his best to help Yudou win.

Yamato Kukaha, on the other side of Yudou, had already been eager to fight when she saw that Yudou was a rare swordsmanship expert.

Seeing Yudou draw his sword, she took it as a challenge and excitedly drew her own sword, Kikuchi.

Kikuchi's blade was much longer, at least twenty centimeters longer than Yudou's Oni-Kizu.

The moment Kikuchi was unsheathed, it seemed to sense something and began to hum in Shingyō's hand.

Kikuchi, the famous sword that had cut off the arm of the demon king Ibaraki-Dōji, had a special reaction to demons.

At this moment, Kikuchi was likely sensing the half-demon blood in Yudou, causing a slight reaction.

But the wielder, Yamato Kukaha, assumed that Kikuchi was excited like her, due to encountering a powerful swordsmanship expert, and was even more satisfied with Yudou as an opponent.

"Please wait, there might be some misunderstanding!"

"Kukaha, calm down. Have you forgotten the purpose of our visit?"

Just as the situation became tense, Hina and Shingyō Ikkō quickly intervened to stop the conflict.
