"The Zhuhe Conference is about to begin. My lord has asked me to inform you to attend on time."

Yayoi calmly started boiling water. "When?"

"today."

Yayoi stopped adding firewood, her gaze towards Matsuko gradually turning dangerous. "Then why are you only telling me now?"

"I've noticed that you, crow, have a terrible sense of time."

"..." Matsuko really wanted to call the police right now.

"I arrived in the middle of the night last night, and you've been sleeping in the house for almost a whole day! You're telling me I have no sense of time?!"

"You're really..."

"Shh~ I won't talk about it." Yayoi got up and shooed Matsuko out. "I'm going to take a shower first. I'm already late anyway, so an hour and a half won't make a difference."

When Yayoi finished getting ready and came out of the bathroom in a good mood, another hour had passed.

"Seriously, if you don't come out soon, I'm going to have someone go and fish you out."

Matsuko, who was squatting by the wall counting ants, rolled her eyes and complained about Yayoi.

"Alright, it's not dark yet, we can still make it now." Yayoi tried to brush it off with a laugh.

"How do I get there? Tell me how I get there! Can you teleport? By the time you get to headquarters, it'll be completely dark!" Songzi shouted angrily.

Yayoi wagged her index finger at Matsuko with a mysterious expression: "Eh~ have you forgotten what I studied?"

"Slacking off, being lazy, shifting blame, and swearing." With a single sip of her little mouth, Matsuko revealed all of Yayoi's secrets.

“…You’re being a bit harsh.” Yayoi said with a forced smile.

"Thank you for the compliment, you're not bad either," Matsuko replied, mimicking Yayoi's tone.

After closing the courtyard gate, the man and the crow began their journey through the mountains and forests.

There was a perfectly good mountain path right there, but Yayoi was unwilling to walk on it.

I particularly enjoy imitating monkeys leaping between tree branches—fast and free.

It has a kind of back-to-basics feel, making you want to cheer.

Thinking this, Yayoi did just that, startling the pine cone flying in front of her so much that it almost crashed into a tree.

“I used to think you weren’t like a woman.”

"And now?" Yayoi was in a good mood and forgave Matsuko's outrageous remarks.

"I feel like you're not human right now."

Yayoi readily admitted, continuing along with Matsuko's words: "That's right, I will be the god who rules this world!"

"How many flights of stairs do you have to carry a bag of rice up?"

"Shut up, you're talking nonsense!" Matsuko landed on Yayoi's shoulder and covered Yayoi's mouth with one wing.

Yayoi didn't kick Matsuko out of the ride; instead, she flicked Matsuko on the head and collected a small ticket from her.

They maintained their speed and continued to traverse quickly through the mountains and forests.

"Oh right, I haven't asked you yet. Wasn't the Zhuhe Conference supposed to be held every six months? Shouldn't it be almost another month before it takes to convene?"

"Want to know?" Matsuko asked cheekily, craning her neck to get closer to Yayoi.

"hold head high."

"beg me."

"I beg you?" Yayoi sneered.

Before Matsuko could escape, someone grabbed her hand, which she hadn't had time to retract, and held her upside down in their hand.

"Let me go!"

"beg me."

"...You're dreaming!"

The stubborn pine nut got a real taste of the thrill of riding a roller coaster.

It wasn't until they arrived at the Demon Slayer Corps that Yayoi took pity on Matsuko, who was nearly unconscious, and put her down.

The pine nuts, after landing, were immediately spat out with a "whoosh".

Yayoi squatted down to the side, smiling and commenting, "You ate quite well yesterday, Matsuko-sama."

Chapter 42 Open the door, the community brings you warmth.

"Get out of here!" Songzi almost burst into tears.

This also made up for the regret of not letting the Kasugai crow ride the roller coaster, to the point that this was the first time in Matsuko's life that she knew she got roller coaster sickness.

"Hey, you didn't ask us to stop the whole way, so I thought you were having a lot of fun." Yayoi showed no intention of apologizing and shifted all the blame onto Matsuko.

Songzi vomited up everything he could before feeling a little better.

He plunged into the water tank next to him, drank a few mouthfuls of water to rinse his mouth, and only then did he have the strength to battle Yayoi again.

"You heartless brat, you held me by the throat the whole way, did you ever give me a chance to make a sound?!"

Yayoi showed no remorse whatsoever, her face full of approval for her brilliant decision: "Hehe~ I was just afraid you'd throw up on me, so I was thinking of pinching your esophagus, but who would have thought I'd accidentally pinch your vocal cords too."

"Gan Linliang! A vicious bastard like you deserves to be dragged to hell by the devil!!" Songzi broke down in her defenses, flying into a rage.

Yayoi calmly stood up, picked at her ear, and said, "Sorry, I'm not a Christian."

Good grief, you still can't select it?

Matsuko was so angry with Miko that her vision went black and black again.

Seeing that Yayoi was about to walk towards the council chamber, Matsuko pretended to call out to Yayoi's back, "I'm not going with you, okay?"

Yayoi waved her hand without turning her head, "I don't need you, I know the way myself."

Matsuko burst out laughing only after Yayoi had completely disappeared from sight.

"You stupid brat, no matter how wicked you are, you'll still fall into the hands of Lord Matsuko, won't you?"

Matsuko immediately took off and fled the scene at top speed, fearing that Yayoi would come back to haunt her after discovering she had been tricked.

They arrived at the council chamber together with the setting sun.

I thought I'd at least hear the exhaust fumes from the meeting, but the council chamber was completely empty.

Huh? Did this meeting end so early?

Yayoi thought she was too late and hadn't even caught a whiff of the car exhaust. She scratched her head and decided to make up a good excuse to skip their meeting by going to the main house.

The old man gave birth, and I went back yesterday to take care of her during her postpartum period.

Isn't this reason a bit far-fetched?

No wonder the old man was so angry when Kaigaku and Zenitsu came out of the closet that he had to go back to Momoyama to clean house.

That sounds plausible.

As Yayoi walked out of the council chamber, lost in thought, she encountered a hidden figure in the darkness.

With the face covered and the sky relatively dark, Yayoi didn't immediately recognize who the person carrying a stack of team uniforms was.

But Fujiwara, who happened to be passing by, was different. He saw the pink and white hair from afar and was so frightened that he turned around and tried to run away.

What's the difference between encountering a Naruto in a place like this and encountering a ghost in broad daylight?

Isn't the time for the plenary session not yet? When did this professional slacker become so proactive?

Fujiwara's escape plan was aborted; he had barely taken a step when Yayoi called out to him:

Why are you running?

"I... didn't run away." Fujiwara replied to Yayoi with a forced smile, but he hesitated to turn around and face Yayoi, afraid that he would be caught by this female devil again and forced to work.

If the mountain doesn't come towards me, I'll smash it to pieces with one punch.

"Come here." Yayoi didn't bother with any more words to this Yin, and gave the order directly.

Fujiwara sighed inwardly, not daring to show it at all, and walked toward Yayoi with a death-defying air.

"Lord Mingzhu."

"You recognize me too," Yayoi said sarcastically. "If you hadn't said so, I would have thought you mistook me for some kind of terrorist."

Very self-aware.

Fujiwara thought to himself silently.

"When did the meeting end?" Yayoi asked casually, wondering if she should exaggerate the reason if it ended early to make herself seem less unprofessional.

"Uh... Lord Naruhashi, the Pillar Meeting doesn't start until tomorrow," Fujiwara replied honestly.

"Huh??" Yayoi then realized that she had been tricked by that black-hearted crow, Matsuko.

Okay, okay, that stupid bird definitely wants to see his grandma too much.

Yayoi was so angry that she gritted her teeth, while Fujiwara, standing opposite her, was too scared to even breathe.

Who on earth is this guy who dares to lie to Lord Naruto about military intelligence...?

"Living Dad" Songzi was lying happily in her little nest, fast asleep and oblivious to the world around her.

Every now and then, I would imagine Yayoi discovering that she had arrived half a day early and flying into a rage, and I would chuckle lewdly.

Knowing that she wouldn't see that stupid bird anytime soon, and that wasting energy looking for it would be playing into his hands, Yayoi took a deep breath and refocused her attention on the invisible body in front of her.

"It's so late, who are you going to deliver the team uniform to?"

Yayoi reached out and rummaged through the two sets of team uniforms on the tray that Fujiwara was holding. Wow, they even had gold buttons!

This size... doesn't seem like it's big enough for Daisai or Tempura.

Even if Tianyuan wore this outfit, it would probably be a bit too tight, right?

"Reporting to the Naruto-sama, these two uniforms are for the Water Pillar-sama."

"A water column?" Yayoi felt like a caveman who had just connected to the internet; she was always the last to know anything. "Sabito or Giyu Tomioka?"
