CH 22

I pull out two knights to search the building but the second and third floors are enclosed in a special barrier and I get no response.

Instead I receive a message from the rooftop.

“I’ve secured the area up here darling”

“I see, did everything go alright”

“Of course, don’t worry I made sure to properly follow our accord and didn’t kill a single person. They should all be seeing pleasant dreams right now”

“Thanks, the boss seems to be right below you. It’ll be helpful to pincer him later so can you watch over the sleeping kids for a bit”

I cut our connection and reassess the situation.

On the first floor is two figures thought to be from the demon army, eight monsters under their control, and one man monitoring them all.

Having finished transporting the injured, Samon, Umon, Maya-chan, and Haruka are ordering the mafia to retreat while helping to defend.

“So how are we making our entrance”

Yuikuu stands by my side.

“Do you know the man at the back who’s observing?”

The man behind the demon army is wearing the same priest garbs as Yuikuu.

“I recognise his face but we’ve never spoken. Perhaps he’s shy, whenever I get close he would run away. While we’re at it, are those monsters in the front your acquaintances? I’ve never seen anything like them”

“I know them very well, they’re also very shy. Whenever I get close they flee”

“Then for starters, how about we go deepen our relationship with our respective friends?”

As Yuikuu says, the best plan is to deal with the opponents we are familiar with.

Plus it’s a practical chance to understand the quirks of different techniques.

Yuikuu must be thinking the same thing,

“Thanks Maya-chan, in many ways, I understand what’s going on better”

“Then Master! Let’s leave this monk to the handsome long haired Onii-sans and move onto the second floor. Yuugen was my former superior so I know his tricks well”

Haruka looks up to me,

“Some of them will be controlling ayakashi like Reina and I. So….. please take me along”

She has a strong look in her eyes.

“I more or less understand the two ladies’ situation now, so should the four of us head on together? Also the maid outfit is a great look”

Amused, Yuikuu hits me on the back.

No, the maid outfit was their idea though…..

I was about to object when,

“Understanding the appeal of moe is also the mark of a man”

Yuikuu brings his face close and murmurs.

――It appears I have yet to understand modern japan’s sense of values.
