I don't want to be an elf!

In the end, we still have to suffer the consequences ourselves.

At first, they thought they only needed to be two mindless berserkers. After all, none of the main or side quests in this world required any brainpower. They just needed to focus on not being hunted down by the whole world.

They never dreamed that the person who would open their hearts to them in place of Itsuka Shido would be Denji.

Surprisingly, it was Hayakawa Aki who took the place of Itsuka Kotori and devised the plans behind the scenes.

After being tossed around by the two of them, even though Yamai Yuzuru and Yamai Yagura were unwilling, they had no choice but to open their hearts to each other in order to conform to the Yamai sisters' persona.

From now on, their interactions with each other will only change from bickering to sweet nothings.

Under the watchful eyes of Machima, Hayakawa Aki, and Denji, Yamai Yuzuru and Yamai Yagura outwardly appeared deeply moved by each other, but inwardly they could only sigh inwardly.

The difficulty of playing the role has increased.

Meanwhile, Machima was also listening to the conversation between the Yamai sisters.

Although Hayakawa Aki and Denji did not explain in detail what they had done, Makima could roughly guess the outline of their plan from the current situation.

Yesterday, when Denji begged her to give him another chance, she did agree, but deep down she didn't believe he would succeed.

Unexpectedly, the situation actually took a turn for the better.

Machima couldn't help but look at the two of them with newfound respect.

They really dare to gamble!

Clearly, Hayakawa Aki and Denji's plan is to get the Yamai sisters to drop their pretenses and open up to each other.

If the other person values ​​each other more than the other person values ​​Feng Daiyamai, then the fusion ceremony will be cancelled.

But if they make the wrong bet, and if bringing Kazemai Yamai back to life is the top priority for the Yamai sisters, then even if they confide in each other, the situation won't be pleasant.

After all, no matter what, Hayakawa Aki and Denji had deceived them.

Once they find out that Denji told Yamai Yuzuru that he had chosen Yamai Kaguya, and Yamai Kaguya that he had chosen Yamai Yuzuru, Japan will face not just one Wind Demon, but the wrath of two Wind Demons.

It's fair to say that the two of them were gambling with the fate of the nation.

Even if it's just Denji, he never had any loyalty to the country or the people.

To Machima's surprise, Hayakawa Aki, one of the few rational people in the Public Security Bureau, would also join this crazy plan.

"But that's okay."

Machima stood with her hands behind her back, a smile that was always on her face, making it impossible to read her thoughts.

The best course of action would be to get Denji to betray the Yamai sisters' trust and kill them through a sneak attack.

It can not only eliminate the uncertainties on both chessboards, but also make Dianci feel pain.

Although this goal was not achieved, Machima did not feel disappointed.

After all, there will be many more opportunities in the future.

As for how to deal with the Yamai sisters in the future, she had already made a plan before she came.

Machima stood quietly, waiting for the Yamai sisters to finish their conversation.

"Thank you, thank you Denji for giving Yuzuru this opportunity, which allowed her to reveal her true feelings to Yagyuuya."

Shortly after, Yuzuru Yamai, having finished her conversation, came over and bowed slightly to Denji in thanks.

"Well... I really have to thank you this time, because it allowed me to hear Yuzuru's true feelings."

Yagami's cheeks were still slightly flushed as she shyly thanked Denji.

"So, you don't plan to merge and become the true Kazemai Yamai?"

Denji was overjoyed. Although the situation was already quite clear, he still asked the question to be 100% sure.

"We will not do that for the time being."

“Hmm, becoming Kazemai Yamai is still important to us, but right now, I would prefer Yuzuru to stay by my side.”

Upon hearing this, the other three people present nodded slightly.

While it's impossible to stop the Yamai sisters from merging forever, even just for a short time would be enough.

Demons have long lifespans; they can live on as long as the concepts they rely on do not disappear.

Even if the Yamai sisters spend enough time with each other, they may still decide to restart the fusion ritual, but that day may be decades or even centuries from now.

By then, as short-lived demon hunters, they were probably already dead.

"So, what are your plans for the future?" Machima asked. "If you no longer want to become Kazemai Hachimai, it means you don't need the police as referees anymore, so you don't need to continue working for the police, right?"

After Makima mentioned it, Denji and Hayakawa Aki both realized this.

Hayakawa Aki had actually thought of this long ago.

However, I was so busy carrying out my own plans yesterday that I forgot about this important matter.

With the fusion ceremony canceled, the eight sisters no longer need to compete for supremacy, and therefore they will naturally no longer be bound by the police and their rules.

If they want to leave, no one can stop them.

However, the Yamai sisters had clearly not considered what they planned to do in the future, and for a moment they fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Machima calmly took out a pure gold name tag from her pocket that could be hung on her clothes.

Four large characters were clearly written on it.

【The Wind Awaits the Eight Dances】

"Although the two of you have given up on merging, you probably still want the name Kazemachi Yamai, right?" Makima asked calmly. "Since you two have no plans for where you're going or what your future holds, why don't you stay in the Public Security Bureau? Whoever contributes the most to the Public Security Bureau will become the Kazemachi Yamai recognized by the Public Security Bureau. What does that suggestion sound like?"

Machima saw things more deeply than Hayakawa Aki and Denji.

Although the Yamai sisters value each other more than Kazemachi Yamai in their hearts, this does not mean that Kazemachi Yamai is unimportant.

The truth is quite the opposite; in their hearts, the name Kazemachi Yamai is perhaps the second most important thing after each other.

The police can still decide who becomes Fengdai Bawu.

Although, in reality, only one name can be decided.

But Machima believed that the Yamai sisters would not refuse.

Upon hearing her new suggestion, the Yamai sisters exchanged a glance.

They really had no reason to refuse.

By remaining with the Public Security Bureau, they can not only enjoy all the benefits of civilized society, but also continue to use the name of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, preventing other countries from having any designs on them.

Most importantly, as long as they accept Machima's proposal, they can still maintain a certain level of competition in the future.

This suggestion did them no harm whatsoever.

After weighing the pros and cons, both Yamai Yuzuru and Yamai Yaguya accepted the proposal.

"I'm glad you chose to stay."

Machima smiled slightly.

"Then, I hope we can continue to work together happily."

Chapter Twenty-Eight: What we can do is...

The disturbance caused by the Yamai sisters was successfully resolved through the cooperation of Hayakawa Aki and Denji.

Half an hour later, the group returned to their usual villa.

It was still early morning, and as soon as they entered, they saw Pawa eating breakfast.

"Oh, you're finally back."

Pawa glanced at his returning roommates.

But when he saw that both Yamai Yuzuru and Yamai Yaguya were still there, his eyebrows rose in surprise.

"Didn't you two go to participate in some kind of fusion ceremony?" Pava asked in surprise. "I thought neither of you was going to be there today. What happened? Did the fusion fail?"

"It's just been put on hold for now. Right now, Yuzuru and I both want to spend more time living together."

"What?! How boring! I want to see rivers of blood!"

Pawa, who had initially been looking forward to watching the spectacle, immediately lost interest.

However, when she caught a glimpse of the gold name tag hanging on Yamai Yagyuya's chest out of the corner of her eye, she tilted her head.

"What's that hanging around your neck?" she asked curiously. "It looks like real gold! Is it valuable?"

"Hmph, although it's not gold, this brand name is far more important than gold."

Upon hearing Pava's question, Yamai Yaguya's face immediately lit up with a proud expression. She puffed out her chest and raised her head to explain, "This is the officially certified identity badge of Kazemachi Yamai. With this, I am no longer Yamai Yaguya, but Kazemachi Yamai!"

"What the hell... It sounds utterly worthless."

"That's because you don't understand the weight of the name Kazemachi Hachimai!"

In high spirits, Yagyuuya Yamai disregarded Pava's wishes and began to explain the significance of Kazei Yamai to her.

Although, with the encouragement of Hayakawa Aki and Denji, the Yamai sisters revealed their true feelings to each other and gave up their long-held goal, they wanted to stay together rather than let the real wind spirit appear.

However, the name Kazemai Yamai remains very important to them.

Therefore, Machima seized upon this and made a new proposal.

As long as they are willing to continue cooperating with the Public Security Anti-Demon Division and maintain friendly relations with humans, she can choose one of the two each month to become the monthly Kazemai.

Although it sounds a bit mystical, it's actually similar to the concept of "Employee of the Month".

Therefore, the era of the Yamai sisters has changed from the original one of "determining the superior and devouring the other to become the true Kaze-wai Yamai" to the era of "the Kaze-wai Yamai take turns being the next one, and it's my turn next month".

The person who received the Kazemai Yamai identity tag this month is Yamai Yaguya, who has a slightly higher number of demon hunter kills.

"A word of caution: Yagyuya shouldn't get too excited yet."

Seeing that Yagami Yagami started showing off to everyone she met, Yagami Yuzuru couldn't help but say, "Although Yagami got the name tag this month, Yuzuru will definitely be the one to get it next month."

"Haha, I admit Yuzuru is amazing, but in terms of combat, I'm still the better one~"

Perhaps it's because they opened their hearts to each other.

To others, although they were still competing with each other as before, their tone and demeanor had softened considerably, and the tense atmosphere of the past was gone.
