For example, when she was in the Nura Clan, Yura Kana, who was very sensitive to auras, could smell the strange aura on herself directly, but she couldn't detect the many monsters in the Nura Clan's headquarters. It wasn't that those little monsters were so powerful, but that there was a powerful being, Nurarihyon.

Nurarihyon is an expert in concealing his presence. Although he is old, he can still cover the entire mansion by himself.

When Hagoromo Gitsune heard Yukiteru state his identity so directly, he didn't panic. He fanned himself with the fan that covered half his face and slowly said, "Don't worry, I didn't come here to start a war today. Besides relaxing, I also wanted to see what kind of person could hinder the mission I've assigned. Indeed, you are much stronger than those two women. But, are you even human, Hiratsuka Yukiteru-kun?"

'Those two women? Are they Sister Huang Quan and Sister Saeko? But they didn't make a move, and ended up here. They probably went to Tokyo.'

Thinking this, Xuehui looked at the other person calmly: "Can't you tell whether I'm human or not? I've always been human, there's nothing to doubt. Or are you trying to poach my partner?"

"I did have that thought, it's amazing that you can control this hidden, destructive flame. But now I've changed my mind, someone like you is too dangerous, not suitable to be under my command."

"Sorry, I don't want to work under you either. I'm very satisfied with my life now." After finishing the last sip of milk in his glass, Xuehui stretched his arms. "So, is there anything else? If not, I'm going back to rest. You guys always like to cause trouble; I haven't had a proper rest for a whole day and night."

After saying that, Xuehui ignored Hagoromo Gitsune's expression and walked to the edge of the rooftop. Just before leaving, he turned back to Hagoromo Gitsune and said, "If you're done looking around, go back to Kansai. I won't be so lenient when we meet again. Also, tell your little subordinate who's hiding to put away his weapon. Don't even think about doing anything funny. I take the security around my neighborhood very seriously. You might accidentally hurt her."

Watching Yukiteru leap up and disappear from sight, Hagoromo Gitsune remained silent.

A few minutes later, a petite, black-haired girl in wooden clogs jumped onto the rooftop, rushed to Hagoromo Gitsune's side with a look of fear on her face, grabbed her hand and said, "Big sister, that guy just glanced this way, it was so scary!!!"

"I told you not to do meaningless things, and now you're paying the price." Looking at the little girl Kyokotsu who was holding her hand, and then glancing at the building across the street, Hagoromo Gitsune turned and left.

"I've met several key humans in the Kanto region, and I also spotted an unplanned character, Kyokotsu. Let's proceed as planned from here on out."

"Yes, elder sister."

As she weaved through the steel jungle, Hagoromo Gitsune remained calm. So what if they were strong? Her side wasn't weak either, and for now, the only ones she'd have to face were the Onmyoji from Kyoto; she'd avoid the others for the time being.

Meanwhile, Xuehui, back home, didn't rest. Instead, he sat in the dimly lit living room, picked up the landline, and dialed a number.

"Lord Yukihira." A respectful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Is the teacher taking a break?"

"Not yet. Should I transfer you to the head of the family?"

"Okay, turn around." After saying that, Xuehui heard the sound of the line switching on the other end of the phone. While waiting, he also sighed, turned his head and looked at the half-hidden figure at the bottom of the stairs, "What are you hiding for? Come and sit down."

After a few seconds, Yukinoshita Haruno came into view.

Chapter 173 With Yukinoshita

Yuki pointed to the seat next to him and didn't say anything more, because the call had already been transferred and Ryougi Shiki's voice came through.

"Haven't you rested yet?"

"Because a guest just came, you didn't get any rest, did you, teacher?" Yukiteru glanced at Yukinoshita Haruno, who had somehow changed into a light pink pajama set, and said directly without avoiding the question.

"I'm also troubled by this matter." Ryougi Shiki's voice carried a hint of annoyance. "Actually, we don't need to concern ourselves with Hagoromo Gitsune's affairs. After all, this fate has nothing to do with us. Kyoto's Kakeruin and the Nurarihyon family will handle it."

"But if we let it develop unchecked, it will eventually spread and have a ripple effect. Hagoromo Gitsune's goal is very dangerous, isn't it? To revive that kind of thing or something." With one hand pushing against Haruno's head, who was trying to lean in to listen, Yukiteru analyzed the pros and cons of the situation.

"Then why didn't you try to keep them here?"

“Teacher, you didn’t do it either, did you? First, I wasn’t 100% sure, and second, the location wasn’t good. I don’t like causing trouble in front of my own home.” As he spoke, Xuehui’s tone carried a wry smile. “The other side is just relying on their superior skills and audacity. They know that in this kind of environment, as long as they don’t make a move, we won’t do anything unnecessary. Anyway, as long as we prevent them from extending their reach into Kanto, that’s fine. As for the rest, I think we should tell Kyoto about Hagoromo Gitsune’s information.”

"That's pretty much what I was thinking. You don't need to worry about these things. Just get some rest."

"You should get some rest too, teacher."

After hanging up the phone, Xuehui looked helplessly at Yangna, who was standing next to him with a curious expression: "You drank so much, how come you're awake now?"

"It's all your fault! You dumped the three of us in one room, and those two almost strangled me to death. Oh wait!" Yang Nai realized, her eyes shining as she grabbed Yukiteru's arm and asked, "What were you talking about just now? What was this about Hagoromo Gitsune, resurrection, and the doorstep!"

"Miss, don't be so curious." Yukiteru was really annoyed by Yukino's expression. This was no small matter, unlike the last time he took Utaha to the Nura Clan's yokai headquarters for research, when he had planned not to tell even Yukino and the others.

"Not going to tell me? If you don't, I'll go find Yukino and have her ask you." Yukino tilted her head back, looking at Yukiteru with a playful expression. She had already understood what Yukiteru meant. He clearly knew some information about yokai, but he wouldn't tell her, which meant that this matter was extraordinary.

However, Yang Nai wasn't the type to give up halfway, so of course she wanted to learn more about something so interesting.

However, Yukiteru didn't fall for it this time and calmly said, "Go find Yukino. I still won't tell, and Yukino will understand."

"..." Making the puffed-up cheeks expression that Yukino only makes when she's drunk, Haruno glanced at her and gave up.

After finally giving up, Yukiteru was too lazy to sit in the dark living room in the middle of the night. The two of them hadn't even turned on the lights when they were talking, making it sound like they were telling a ghost story.

"Alright, I have class tomorrow, time to go to sleep."

However, Yang Nai had no intention of letting the other party off so easily. He grabbed Xue Hui, who had already stood up, and his expression became somewhat serious: "Sit down, I have something to ask you."

Under the moonlight, Haruno's expression didn't seem like a joke. Yukiteru stared at her for a few seconds before finally sitting down again.

"To make a long story short, I haven't slept for more than 40 hours."

"I'm sorry, but I have to ask." Yang Nai had already guessed that Yukiteru, who hadn't returned the night before, must not have had time to rest, but she still had to say what needed to be said.

"You and Kasumigaoka Utaha, is that kind of relationship too?"

"Hmm? Is that all you're asking? There's no point in hiding it, it really is." Leaning back on the sofa, Yukihiro said calmly, "As you said, I'm not exactly a good man. But if you want me to give up Yukino or Utaha, I'm sorry, I can't do it."

"Didn't you think about Yukino's feelings?"

“I did think about it, and that was my initial plan. However, things didn’t seem to go as I expected, and gradually it turned out like this. You can take it as me making excuses, and that’s fine, since I did have some bad ideas of my own. And what I can do now is protect and take good care of each and every one of them.”

Then, Xuehui, too lazy to say anything else, directly told Yangnai about some things from the past, and naturally, his relationship with Xiaoshizuka was also exposed.

"Not only Kasumigaoka Utaha, but even Shizuka?" Muttering to herself, Haruno looked at Yukiteru, who was so composed in front of her, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

To be fair, these days, men with some status and money are bound to encounter temptations. Even my own father, if it weren't for my mother's strict control and his status as a member of parliament, would probably have been out there indulging in debauchery long ago.

Standing up, looking at the silent Yang Nai, Yukiteru said, "I've said everything I needed to say. I don't expect you to understand anything, just don't do anything unnecessary. We'll handle our own affairs. That's all, get some rest, it's still quite chilly at night."

He said that, then went upstairs and back to his room.

Yukino and Utaha were still fast asleep, like two sleeping beauties.

Looking at the two sleeping faces, Xuehui smiled slightly, took off his coat, crawled between them, hugged them, and slowly closed his eyes.

Goodnight, Yukino, Utaha.

As for Yang Nai, she sat alone in the living room, her thoughts churning several times before she stood up in despair.

"Whatever, do whatever you want!"

She tiptoed up the stairs and returned to Xiaojing's bedroom door. Just as she was about to open the door, Yang Nai remembered that there were two other people inside.

"In that case, let's just go to Yukino's room and sleep with her."

Shifting their focus, they arrived at Yukino's bedroom. The door wasn't locked, and Haruno easily opened it.

Unfortunately, although there were obvious signs that someone had slept on the blankets, Yukino was not in the room at the moment, and when she came up, Haruno did not hear any noise from the bathroom or similar places.

So, there's only one possible place Yukino could have gone.

"So it really is in Yukiteru's room? Hmph, they really have a good relationship."

With a disgruntled expression, Haruno pounced on Yukino's soft bed, rolled around in the blankets for a bit, and then closed her eyes.

Chapter 174 Solution to Last Night's Incident

The harmonious night passed just like that. Although Xuehui didn't sleep for long, he was fully recovered.

It was just past 6 o'clock, and Yukino and Utaha were still fast asleep in his arms. After a moment of surprise, Yukiteru began to feel uneasy.

When I wake up, I hope nothing unexpected happens.

After lying there stiffly for about 10 minutes, Xuehui suddenly realized that the two girls in his arms had woken up.

However, both of them remained asleep and did not open their eyes.

Emmmm~ I think I'll get up first, it's a bit awkward.

Pretending not to have noticed that the two had woken up, Xuehui carefully got out of bed, carefully put on his clothes, carefully opened the door, and went out.

With a "snap," the door closed, and the room fell silent once more.

A few minutes later, the two girls opened their eyes one after the other and saw each other's eyes so close together.

For a moment, both of them blushed. Some things are fine when you're facing them alone, but once there's someone else around, it's impossible not to feel shy.

Then, Shiyu spoke first: "How should this be settled?"

"What do you mean by how to calculate it? It was clearly your provocation that led to this." Yukino frowned slightly. Although it happened while she was drunk, she still had some recollection of it.

"I provoked you?" Shiyu was immediately displeased, glaring at Yukino and saying, "I was the one who came to find Yukiteru first last night. Would things have turned out like this if you hadn't suddenly walked in?"

"Who told you not to lock the door? Did you think there was no one else home?"

The two talked back and forth for more than ten minutes before Yukino finally reached out and stopped them, saying, "If this continues, it will never end. Let's get up first."

"Agreed. Since it's already happened, there's no point in arguing about it here." As she spoke, Shiyu sat up from the covers. "Let's put our discussion aside for now. What do you suggest we do about Yukiteru-kun?"

"What else can we do? This is the only way this time. Do you expect a next time?" Pulling the blanket up, Yukino sat up, not wanting to recall what happened last night.

"Hmm~ I think I could consider it. Although I don't have many fragments left in my memory, it's still quite enjoyable." While saying this without any restraint, Shiyu stretched comfortably with her naked and alluring body.

"Consider? Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Yukino shook her head frantically without thinking, and the next second she saw Utaha's actions.

It swayed left and right, it was so dazzling...

"Cover yourself up quickly!" Blushing, Yukino quickly turned around.

"Hmm?" Looking at her own body and then at Yukino's reaction, Utaha had a playful look on her face. Instead of hiding, she moved over and hugged Yukino from behind.

With her head resting on Yukino's shoulder, the two girls pressed tightly together. Utaha chuckled and whispered in Yukino's ear, "What's there to be shy about? We did things like that together last night. And if I remember correctly, you rubbed me too, right?"

"Ugh..." Despite saying that, Yukino was still incredibly shy. Without thinking, she broke free from Utaha, got out of bed, put on her pajamas, and ran out in a few seconds.

Looking at the closed bedroom door, Shi Yu burst out laughing. "Teasing her was really fun. Well, it's a good thing I didn't agree, otherwise I would have really gotten myself into trouble."

Moaning softly, Shiyu got out of bed. Unlike Yukino, she had only worn her underwear when she came in last night, so she had to go out in her underwear as well. Fortunately, Yukiteru was the only male in the house, so she didn't have to worry about it.

Yukiteru heard the door open twice from the kitchen below, and there was no doubt that it was Yukino and Utaha who were there.

Xuehui showed no expression on his face and continued to prepare a sumptuous breakfast.

However, at this moment, he appeared calm and collected on the outside, but inside he was cursing.

About ten minutes later, footsteps came from the stairs, gradually approaching the kitchen.

"It smells delicious! It looks like breakfast is going to be very plentiful today."

Shiyu's voice came, and the next second, Xuehui was hugged from behind.

Sensing Shiyu's actions, Xuehui breathed a huge sigh of relief. Thankfully, Shiyu didn't immediately launch into a verbal attack on him.
