Chapter 6

(New book seeking collections, recommendations, and investments, don't want to be as miserable as the previous two books (╯﹏╰))

When Yudou returned home, he had just opened the front door when a small figure, like a speeding cannonball, suddenly crashed into his arms.

No, it wasn't just the speed that was like a cannonball; the force was such that if a normal person were hit, they would likely end up in the ICU.

"Big brother, why are you back so early today? Did you skip class again?"

"Be careful, I might tell Mom if you don't. But if you don't want me to spill the beans, just promise to buy me the latest doll, and I'll keep your secret."

A girl with wine-red hair, tied in cute twin tails, and a face full of collagen, poked her head out from Yudou's arms, a mischievous smile on her lips, looking like a little devil.

This adorable girl in a sailor uniform, who had crashed into Yudou's arms, was his sister, Tenjouin Ryuki.

Kujo Hinano, who had followed Yudou inside, was clearly startled. When Ryuki had rushed over, she hadn't even seen her?

By the time she reacted, the cute girl was already cooing in her brother's arms?

At this moment, Ryuki seemed to notice the presence of an outsider, blushing and quickly leaving her brother's embrace, pretending nothing had happened.

Ryuki only acted this way at home; in front of her classmates and outsiders, she was a very reserved and proper young lady.

This was the first time Yudou had brought someone home, which made the little girl feel a deep sense of crisis and considerable displeasure.

She even began to scrutinize the other person with a critical eye...

Her brother had never brought anyone home before, let alone a girl! What made the little girl feel the most threatened was that, although she didn't know the other person's exact age, they had a face that looked like a little girl's!

Wasn't this overlapping with her own role? Ryuki was worried that her brother might be taken away.

Well, the other person was beautiful, but not as cute as herself, so that wasn't a threat.

After sizing up Kujo Hinano's face and comparing it to her own, the little girl proudly lifted her head and continued to look down...

Then she saw something. Were those two pineapples? How could such a small person have such disproportionate size? They were even bigger than Mom's!

Seeing Kujo Hinano's disproportionately large bust, Ryuki, as if possessed, reached out her small hand and did something Yudou had always wanted to do but never dared.

"I lost... Ryuki completely lost..."

After feeling the very real sensation, the little girl deflated like a punctured balloon, dejectedly slumping to the ground.

Yudou looked at his sister with envy... no, with a scolding expression, and then explained.

"You, that's way too rude to a first-time guest."

"This is Miss Kujo, apparently a local auxiliary police officer. Big brother is going to help her catch a criminal, so it's not what you think."

Yudou naturally knew what his sister was thinking, lightly tapping her head and looking exasperated.

"So, this big sister isn't Ryuki's rival, right? She won't take Big Brother away, right?"

Ryuki said this while rushing back into Yudou's arms, looking very happy.

"I told you to watch less of those boring soap operas with Mom. We are siblings, even if Miss Kujo were my girlfriend, she wouldn't be your rival!"

Yudou gave his sister another tap on the head, this time with more force, clearly finding her very troublesome.

"With love, even siblings can be together!"

Hearing his sister's shocking statement, Yudou pushed her head away in disgust and gave Kujo Hinano a wry smile: "Sorry, my sister is a bit off."

Watching the interaction between the siblings, Kujo Hinano maintained a smile, standing to the side.

If she had any doubts about Yudou before, she now completely ruled him out as a suspect.

A person who was so gentle to his family couldn't possibly be a cruel and perverted killer.

Finally managing to get rid of his clingy sister, Yudou returned to his room.

Because she had to prepare dinner, Yudou's mother had gone out to buy ingredients and was not at home.

Fortunately, Tenjouin Masami wasn't there; otherwise, seeing Kujo Hinano in her police uniform would have made her overthink things.

Yudou returned to his room, retrieved a rectangular wooden box from under his bed, and took out a katana about one and a half meters long.

This sword was probably the only inheritance from his cheap father.

The scabbard was entirely black, the blade was a black-lacquered tachi, and the edge was a乱刀小丁字 (a type of blade pattern). Just by its appearance, one could tell it was a fine sword.

The key was that the sword was not only sharp but also perfectly compatible with Yudou's demonic power, as if it were a natural demon blade.

To own such a weapon, Yudou's cheap father must have been a significant figure among the demon clan.

However, in the system's evaluation, this sword was only rated as "B-level."

Weapon: Oni-Kizu (Demon Wound)

Weapon Level: B

Description: A sword forged by a renowned demon craftsman. It is said that when the sword was completed, it could emit a blade of energy on its own, injuring the craftsman and leading to this being his final work, hence the name "Oni-Kizu."

Effect: It can harmonize with demon power. When infused with demon power, it can unleash an external demon power slash, the strength of which increases with the user's demon power!

Seeing Yudou suddenly take out a long sword and start polishing it, Kujo Hinano, who had followed him in, was also startled.

In a country that values bushido, katana are not uncommon, but in modern society, weapons with lethal potential are strictly regulated.

Even in some kendo dojos, katana are mostly for display and rarely used.

"You're planning to bring a sword? That's too dangerous. As a police officer, we have guns. Even if you have a sword, it won't be much help in a real emergency."

In this day and age, firearms are the norm. Even a kendo master couldn't split a bullet in mid-air.

"Miss Kujo, do you believe that there are really demons in this world?"

Yudou ignored her concerns, continuing to polish the sword and asked a question that left Kujo Hinano puzzled.

"How could there be demons in this world? That's just something adults used to scare children in the past."

"If there were really demons, I think they would be the criminals who commit heinous crimes."

Kujo Hinano was somewhat dismissive of Yudou's question. If the legendary demons really existed, humans would have discovered them long ago.

"Is that so? Then you're in for a real eye-opener tonight. Perhaps humans haven't seen demons because those who saw them are all dead..."
