Chapter 447: The Nekomata Clan (II)...

[Youkai Territory, Kyoto] 

"This is Kyoto? So beautiful…" Kuroka said in an awestruck tone as she looked around. This was the first time she was visiting the Youkai side of the city as she was an SS-Class Stray Devil. This was also the first time for Koneko, so she was also completely awed even though she would never say that out loud. 

Both Neko Sisters saw various types of Youkais going on with their daily lives without bothering to hide themselves. Kuroka had long accepted her Youkai heritage so seeing a place like this has been one of her dreams. Koneko was yet to accept her true heritage due to her past trauma but she was still awed by a place like this. 

"This is the Youkai side of Kyoto… the normal Kyoto is bland compared to this. This side is more vibrant and bright… filled with a lot of colours" Nemuri said while rubbing her chin. She was trying to describe the difference between two worlds with simple words but it wasn't simple like that. 

Dora was stuffing her face with various types of snacks. Dora had noticed Koneko's eyes flickering over the sweets she had bought so like a good Senpai, she was handing her the sweets from time to time. Koneko simply accepted the sweets with a grateful look on her face. 

Dora immediately understood that if she needed to get close to the younger sister then she must do it by bribing her through sweets. She was going to do that at a later date… for now, she was going to enjoy herself without trying to get tripped but fate is a cruel bitch… Dora tripped but fortunately, she was able to get back her balance. 

"Are you okay?" Koneko asked in a monotone. Even though Koneko's face was completely blank, there was a certain hint of worry in her eyes. 

'So cute!!' Dora internally exclaimed and wanted to glomp the silver-haired Neko girl but somehow she stopped herself. Dora was about to answer Koneko's question but Nemuri decided to butt in. 

"She is completely fine, don't worry about her. She is klutz" Nemuri deadpanned and Dora started to fume as her hair turned fiery red. Kuroka started to snicker internally as she didn't want Dora to hear her laughter. 

"Hmpf, you are simply jealous of my style" Dora hmpfed with a proud look on her face and puffed out her chest. Nemuri gave the clumsy woman a blank stare. 

"That's not a style Dora, and it isn't anything you should be proud of" Nemuri said in a dry tone and Dora simply snorted. 

"Pot calling the kettle black. If I remember correctly then you are proud of being a pervert… once again not something to be proud of" Dora said with a snort and Nemuri simply gave the clumsy woman an incredulous look. Koneko's eyes grew wide in worry as she started to look at Nemuri disdainfully. 

"Yes, I am an Ultra Pervert and I am proud of it. What's wrong with that? It is a healthy lifestyle. At least I am not a closet pervert who reads her porn while hiding under the bed" Nemuri said with a stupid grin on her face. 

Dora's face lit up a Christmas Tree in embarrassment. Koneko's eyes slowly turned towards Dora and she started to look at the woman with disdain in her eyes. She hated perverts. Dora flared her nostrils in anger. 

"Don't say something like that!" Dora fumed and started to munch down on her chocolate while glaring at Nemuri.

"Sure sure…" Nemuri said and started to snicker. 

Now, Dora was a well educated and well-mannered girl except for a few questionable habits. So, her well thought out reply was to stick out her tongue while staring towards Nemuri. Kuroka simply tried to hide herself in embarrassment when she noticed the attention they were getting from everyone else on the road. 

"Can you two please stop it… everyone is looking at us weirdly" Kuroka mumbled in a low tone but both Nemuri and Dora clearly heard the older Nekoshou. Nemuri and Dora stared at Kuroka for a few seconds with blank looks on their faces. 

"Buwhaha…" Both Dora and Nemuri started to laugh boisterously. This drew even more attention towards the group of four. Koneko simply wanted to run away but she simply decided to stop paying attention to everything aside from the sweets in her hand. Kuroka simply groaned internally. Sometimes she was also vulgar but she didn't hold a candle in front of either Nemuri or Dora. 

"...We are finally here" all of a sudden Nemuri said. Both Koneko and Kuroka froze for a moment as they arrived in front of a huge traditional Japanese compound. As soon as the guards noticed Nemuri they started to open the gates. 

Kuroka noticed that the guards didn't even bother to ask anything about her. "Welcome, Lady Nemuri. Shall I inform Lady Yasaka of your arrival?" The tengu asked after doing a respectful bow in front of Nemuri. 

"That won't be necessary, I have already informed her" Nemuri answered with a smile and the tengu politely nodded his head in agreement. After that, the group of four entered the compound. Koneko and Kuroka kept looking around. Kuroka had an awed look on her face while Koneko's eyes were glittering in complete awe. 

As soon as the group had entered the compound interest formula the Neko Sisters had noticed that Nemuri had finally revealed her tails and ears. Koneko was quite surprised to see that the perverted woman was someone from a noble lineage. In the case of the Youkais, nine-tailed races were considered as noble races. That is why the Youkai Faction leaders were always someone from a nine-tailed Race. 

The whole group finally arrived inside a massive hall. The Youkai Faction leader, Yasaka, was sitting at the head spot of the table with her daughter Kunou beside her. "Yasaka, how have you been? I hope that Faction management duties aren't killing you" Nemuri greeted as she made her way towards the mother-daughter duo. 

Yasaka smiled brightly at the arrival of her friend. "I suppose it is fine but I could do better with a shoulder massage at the end of the day… My shoulders kind of feel stiff" Yasaka said with a smile. 

'It is already a surprise that you can stand with those melons weighing you down… stiff shoulders are the least of your worries' Dora and Kuroka thought at the same time as they mentally clicked their tongues. 

'H-huge' Koneko thought as she stared down to look at her own chest, and then her eyes turned towards Dora, after that, she stared towards Nemuri, and finally, her eyes landed on her sister's chest. Koneko released a defeated sigh as once again she looked down at her own chest in disappointment. 

Koneko looked up and her eyes landed on Kunou. 'Not all hope is lost' Koneko thought as Kunou's chest was similar to hers. While Koneko was going through her chest's existential crisis, Kunou was also having similar thoughts. 

'I still wonder how her tits don't spill out of that dress… hmm… must be one of the mysteries of boobs' Nemuri internally concluded as she finally arrived near Yasaka and sat down beside her. Kunou released a relieved sigh when she noticed that the cuddle monster wasn't going to sit beside her. 

All of a sudden a shiver went down Kunou's spine when she noticed the other woman accompanying Nemuri was eying her fluffy tails and ears. She instinctively hugged her tails in fear. The woman sat down beside her with a goofy grin on her face, Kunou scooted away towards her mother with a lot of worry and fear in her eyes. 

Yasaka watched the whole scene and started to giggle while covering her mouth. Yasaka's eyes finally landed on the Neko Sisters and a gentle and kind smile appeared on her face. "Hello, as soon as I heard that the charges against you were fake, I wanted to meet you" Yasaka said softly. 

Kuroka didn't know how to react after hearing that statement so she only nodded her head in understanding. It wasn't anything out of the normal as the Devils had said that she was an SS-Class Stray Devil and the Youkais don't have any other ways of confirming that they could only believe in what Devils were saying. 

"Now, I understand that the two were born outside the Youkai Territory, so I will assume that you know nothing about your clan" Yasaka said and once again Kuroka nodded her head with an unsure look on her face. 

"So, I could arrange a meeting between you and the leader of Nekomata Clan. Of course, it is completely up to you if you want to meet them or not… I won't force you" Yasaka said in a calm tone. Kuroka was immediately interested just like Koneko but Kuroka decided to be cautious. 

"Why would you do that for us?" Kuroka asked with a confused look on her face. 

"You have gone through a lot of injustice… as the leader of the Youkai Faction, you come under my jurisdiction. This is the least I could do now that your name is cleared… you have to understand that even if I wanted to help you until now, I simply couldn't" 

"If the Devils found out that I have been helping you then it could have sparked a War between our Races" Yasaka said with an apologetic smile on her face. Kuroka understood where the woman was coming from and as a leader she was responsible for her Race as a whole. She couldn't jeopardize everyone just for a single Youkai. 

Kuroka turned towards her sister. After a few moments, Kuroka finally came to a decision. She turned towards Yasaka. "I would like to meet the leader of the Nekomata Clan" Kuroka said in a determined tone…
