I don't want to be an elf!

"Yes, Miss Machima." x2

After receiving the order, the two left the scene.

Only Machima and the Yamai sisters remained.

"What should we do about Pava?" Yagyuuya coughed twice, looking slightly embarrassed, and asked.

“Don’t worry,” Machima said calmly. “Leave it to me.”

Having driven away Hayakawa Aki and Denji, Makima no longer needed to hide her abilities from the Yamai sisters.

As the one who controls demons, she stood still and looked around.

Then, the ability is activated.

Amidst the filth, small, bright red clumps of excrement drifted in from all directions and gathered together.

A short while later, as the last fragment was pieced together, the excrement containing Power's personality reappeared before them.

A flash of understanding crossed the eyes of the Yamai sisters.

As the ruler of demons, Machima is able to control anything she subjectively considers inferior to herself.

Humans, demons, animals, and even corpses as inanimate objects.

While controlling poop... it certainly sounds absurd, it is indeed possible.

Clearly, the Machima that just now was the excrement of the dominating Pava, which brought the scattered fragments together in one place.

"Alright, this is what brings together Power's personality... well, you know what it is."

As the Yamai sisters' expressions gradually turned grim, Machima spoke calmly.

"The rest is up to you."

I do not know how long it has been.

When Pawa slowly opened his eyes, the once clear sky was now covered with the glow of sunset.

Her mind was in complete chaos, as if she had been struck countless times by a heavy hammer, and even her memories were a jumbled mess.

"Hey, you're finally awake."

Yagami's face appeared in her line of sight, blocking most of the setting sun.

Looking at that familiar face, Pawa's chaotic memories gradually cleared up, and she remembered what had happened before she lost consciousness.

"This old man...this old man seems to have been infected."

Pawa tried to get up, but his mind and body seemed out of sync, and he fell to the ground again.

She remembered that she seemed to have been ambushed by the poop demon and afflicted by its power.

Suddenly, she started to feel a sharp pain in her stomach, and the unbearable urge to defecate made her pull down her pants in public.

After she finished defecating, she lost consciousness.

"Strange, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore."

As she gradually regained control of her body, Pawa felt a burning pain in her anus, and winced as she asked, "But why does it hurt even more in the back?"

"You're lucky to have survived; don't worry about such details."

Yagami patted her on the shoulder.

"Trust me, you won't want to know the reason."

Chapter Sixteen's ratings are out!

For the next two weeks, the Yamai sisters continued their work as demon hunters, just like always.

Their fame spread beyond the Exorcism Section 4, reaching even the ears of demon hunters in other sections, making them stars within the Public Security Bureau.

Tokyo was no longer a suitable place for them to fight. At their speed, they could easily travel back and forth to Japan dozens of times a day, so the two of them often went to other places to eliminate demons.

Although this was a violation of the rules, the other department heads of the Magic Department didn't say anything, turning a blind eye as if they hadn't seen it.

After all, since their boss, Machima, hadn't said anything, they naturally wouldn't say anything more.

Demonic disasters occur every day, and every Exorcism Division hopes to recruit more members to deal with emergencies. With the Public Security Bureau short-handed, colleagues like the Yamai sisters who can provide rapid support are a godsend for all official demon hunters.

Over the course of these two weeks, the events from the original story have gradually unfolded.

The Eternal Demon attacks, the Demon of the Blade appears, and the Anti-Demon Division suffers heavy losses. Makima takes over the Anti-Demon Division and becomes its sole head...

However, these things are not very important to the Yamai sisters.

In these incidents, they simply saved a few people, got into a few fights, and then defeated the Blade Demon to complete the side quest; they had no intention of forcibly altering the plot.

Days passed by, and soon it was a month after they officially joined the police force.

The door to the office at the Tokyo Anti-Magic Division headquarters was pushed open.

Machima, who was working on her documents, looked up and saw Denji appear in her office.

"Miss Machima, I'm here!"

As soon as he entered, Dianci put on a fawning smile and swaggered up to Machima: "What can I do for you, Miss Machima? Just tell me if it's within my power!"

Machima didn't respond much to Dianci's flattery, but simply took out a few documents from the table.

"The two Wind Demons have been with the Public Security Bureau for a month now, and according to the original agreement, today is the day to give them their scores."

A month ago, Makima saw through the true purpose behind the Yamai sisters' constant duels, so she proposed that they join the Public Security Bureau and that the Public Security Bureau act as referees to score them.

This would not only keep the two wind demons, who are global disasters, in line and prevent them from causing further trouble, but it would also prevent other governments from luring them into their camp and thus threatening her plans.

Today, the ratings will be released.

"Based on data from multiple sources, and taking into account factors such as the number of times the demonic disaster was quelled, the number of civilian casualties, and impressions of the members of the Demon Class, we have obtained your final scores."

Machima smiled faintly and pushed the file to Denji.

Denji's expression froze for a moment, not expecting that Makima had summoned him for something like this.

He licked his dry lips, forcibly suppressing the inexplicable tension in his heart, and opened the thick stack of documents.

The dense text was filled with every single thing the Yamai sisters had done this month, so detailed that it made one wonder if they were being constantly monitored.

However, Denji had no intention of reading carefully at all, skipping the lengthy first few pages and looking at the last page.

Those were the scores they received.

"Equally divided?"

Seeing the scores of the two players, Denji, whose heart was racing, breathed a sigh of relief.

After spending a whole month together, during which they went through several life-or-death situations, although it wasn't obvious on the surface, he actually quite liked the two girls who were always bickering.

He was also aware of the relationship between the Yamai sisters and the purpose of their constant duels, so he was somewhat concerned about the upcoming scoring day.

Last night, he was still discussing with Hayakawa Aki and Pava what the outcome would be.

Surprisingly, the final score was a tie.

While this is certainly bad news for the Yamai sisters, it is undoubtedly good news for everyone else, including Denji.

A tie means there are no winners or losers.

At the same time, it also means that both Yamai Yuzuru and Yamai Yaguya can continue to exist, and there is no need for them to be devoured and disappeared by another person.

"Haha, I can't wait to see the expressions on those two guys' faces when they find out the final score is a tie."

Denji couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, saying gloatingly, "Looks like they'll have to keep working for the Anti-Magic Division until their scores diverge, right, Miss Makima?"

However, Machima did not answer.

She silently met Denji's gaze; her spiral-shaped eyes seemed to possess a captivating power, inspiring a sense of fear.

Seeing that Machima didn't speak, Dianci's heart seemed to skip a beat.

An ominous premonition arose in his heart, causing the smile on his lips to gradually disappear.

"Unfortunately, the police do not intend to do that."

Machima's expression remained unchanged, and her voice was still cold: "The agreement between me and the Wind Spirits was that the Public Security Bureau would act as the judges and score them. They worked for the Public Security Bureau and fulfilled their obligations, but the Public Security Bureau gave them a result that did not meet their expectations. What do you think they will do?"

"They probably...won't do anything like that..." Denji scratched his head. "Actually, I think they're pretty nice people, much better than Pawa."

“I know you have a good relationship with them, but you must also know that a demon is still a demon, a creature that does whatever it wants,” Machima said calmly. “If you can’t give them a satisfactory answer, they might retaliate against the police.”

"Maybe... but what does that have to do with me?"

"The impressions that all members of the Magic Class have of them are also included in the score; the higher the impression, the higher the score."

Makima then produced another document containing Hayakawa Aki, Pawa, and other members' impressions of the Yamai sisters: "Some time ago, I sent people to interview the members about their impressions of them, and these are the responses I received."

“That’s strange, why wasn’t I interviewed?”

"They probably missed you during their interview, but it doesn't matter, the interviews will be the same now."

Makima rested her elbows on the table, interlaced her fingers, and asked with great interest, "So, Denji, can you tell me what you think of the two Wind Demons?"

Dianci thought for a moment, then opened his mouth.

Just as he was about to say something, he seemed to suddenly realize something, and the words he was about to say got stuck in his throat.

"I...can I not answer?" Denji's Adam's apple bobbed violently. "The opinion of someone like me, to tell the truth, isn't that important, is it?"

"You are the demon hunter who has spent the most time with them, and I believe your evaluation carries weight... Therefore, please answer carefully."

Machima's smile remained gentle, but her words caused Denji's pupils to contract.

"Denji, your answer will determine their life or death."

Chapter Seventeen: The Right to Choose

Dian Ci walked out of the Public Security Headquarters in a daze.

The glaring sunlight shone on him, but it did not bring him any warmth.
