Chapter 92

"Indeed, I am just a youkai who chose to follow Lord Yuto. Lord Yuto is my benefactor.

And someone like me, how could I possibly be worthy of Lord Yuto..."

Shuki, who had already been blushing from the aggressive questioning of the fierce Amano Masami, now turned her flushed face towards Yuto, who was behind her, as she stated her identity.

"What's wrong with being a youkai? Isn't that just fine? Yuto is a hanyou, so it doesn't really matter whether one is human or youkai..."

Before Amano Masami could finish her sentence, Yuto, who had been listening in silence, pulled her away.

Yuto had never known his mother to have such a character.

Despite being quite timid and childish in everyday life, she was unexpectedly bold in this aspect, and the questions she asked seemed to be too much for both the female detective and the female spider youkai to bear.

Moreover, what kind of nonsense is it to say that it doesn't matter whether one is human or youkai? Has he really become so desperate for marriage?

No, he is still a high school student, isn't he? Isn't it a bit premature to think about such things...

After Shuki revealed her identity, apart from Amano Masami and Amano Ryuki, Yuto's top subordinate, Tsubaki, had also been observing Shuki.

As Yuto's "top subordinate," Tsubaki, who considered himself the first to follow Yuto, thought that after Shuki greeted the lord's family, she should pay respects to him, the "senior."

Unfortunately, he stood aside for a long time, but Shuki completely ignored him, which made Tsubaki somewhat annoyed, thinking that newbies really don't know their place.

Although the newbie has fair skin, a beautiful face, and long legs, he is the first youkai to follow the lord, which is undoubtedly significant to the lord.

So if the other party wants to challenge his position as the "top subordinate," it's just a pipe dream.

Moreover, during the week Yuto was away, Tsubaki believed he had thoroughly won the favor of the lady of the house and the young miss.

Tsubaki even thought that in this household, the one most favored by the lord's family should be him.

As for Shuki, this disrespectful newbie, he would definitely give her a taste of his authority, to teach her to respect her seniors.

However, just a moment ago, Tsubaki's confidence, which had been so strong, instantly crumbled when he saw the lady of the house, Amano Masami, treating Shuki so warmly.

He thought he had already won the favor of the lord's two family members, but the lady of the house had never been so enthusiastic towards him.

Moreover, the lady of the house kept smiling and asking Shuki about her relationship with the lord, how they got along, and so on.

To be fair, things should have a proper order, right? He was the first to meet the lord, so why had the lady of the house never asked him these questions?

What Shuki can do, he, Tsubaki, can do as well...

"Newbie, since we are all youkai who follow the lord, I think it's necessary for us to get to know each other.

Let's find a place to spar. Sometimes, battle is the fastest way to understand each other."

Amano Masami was pulled away by Yuto, partly because of her aggressive nature, which made Yuto's face turn red, and partly because Yuto wanted to explain to Amano Masami the reason for joining the Non-Natural Countermeasures Group.

Just as Yuto and Amano Masami left, Tsubaki, who was usually very timid, confidently approached Shuki and challenged her to a duel.

The position of "top lackey" was threatened, and the lady of the house was already out of control. Moreover, Shuki had fair skin, a beautiful face, long legs, and a large chest.

In contrast, he was just a brick, and even in the lord's eyes, Tsubaki felt he wouldn't have much of a chance.

To better establish the authority of a "senior" and prevent future newbies from stepping on his head, Tsubaki decided to use force to make the other party submit!

Although Tsubaki's character is timid, his strength is actually not weak.

Because he once obtained the "Kasen Stone," Tsubaki's youkai power far exceeds what his species should have, and he even has some ability to "bewitch" others.

With C-level youkai power, plus decent defense and the ability to bewitch enemies, it can be said without exaggeration that Tsubaki is no weaker than the average core members of the Non-Natural Countermeasures Group.

This is also the reason why Tsubaki dared to challenge Shuki. In Tsubaki's view, the lord had only been away for a week, and even if he went to eliminate "harmful youkai," how many cases could he handle?

For powerful youkai, they want to be leaders themselves and generally won't submit to others.

So Tsubaki guessed that the reason the lord chose to subdue Shuki was simply because she looked good, and in terms of strength, she definitely wasn't as strong as him.

So far, Tsubaki hadn't felt any particularly strong youkai power from Shuki, so he was quite confident in facing her.

As for Ryuki, who was standing aside, she was clapping her hands, excited to see a good show.

Not only is she manipulative, but because she has "oni" blood in her veins, the little girl is also quite violent.

However, her brother and mother repeatedly told her from a young age not to touch others outside, to avoid causing any trouble.

Because of this, Amano Ryuki has almost no friends outside, and because she always maintains the image of a "good girl" outside, she exhibits a demon-like personality when she returns home.

Seeing the excited and happy Ryuki, Tsubaki felt that the opportunity to gain favor had come again, so he narrowed his eyes and made a pose he thought was very cool, provocatively looking at the dignified Shuki.

"We are all youkai who follow Lord Yuto. If we fight, will Lord Yuto be angry?

Shuki would never do anything to make Lord Yuto unhappy!"

Compared to Tsubaki, who wanted to use force to defend his position as the "top lackey," Shuki showed little interest.

She had already noticed Tsubaki, and the amount of youkai power he had was clear to her.

To maintain good relations with her colleagues and not to trouble Yuto, Shuki had been smiling at him all along, but Tsubaki took this as a provocation...

"It's fine, it's not a life-or-death battle, just a sparring match.

Don't worry, I'll go easy on you since you're a newbie.

Look, the young miss is so eager to see us spar. The lord loves the young miss the most, so even if he finds out, he definitely won't be angry."
