Shota is surrounded by monsters!

"What's been going on lately? We have to change the sheets two or three times a week on average! And every time we change the sheets, there's a hole in them..."

Huang Quan looked at Shota with disdain and asked, "Are you still in heat?"

"...You don't need to worry about that!"

I feel like discussing this kind of thing with a girl always has a kind of shameful play feeling. No, that's not right. It should be Huang Quan who feels that way.

"Reya and I are normal men and women now, so it's not normal for us to do those kinds of things."

Shota, with a nonchalant expression, said, "In the end, it's not doing anything that will confuse Rea. Since it can foster feelings and make everyone happy, why not do it... As for the sheets... well, there's nothing we can do about it. Rea's self-healing ability is so good that it's like the first time every time."

Sure enough, upon hearing Shota's words, Huang Quan felt extremely ashamed and quickly signaled to Shota to stop talking.

"He really is a bastard."

Yomi glared fiercely at Shota, then fell silent again...

Will it really be comfortable?

Out of the blue, she suddenly asked a question.

"puff……"

"No, don't misunderstand!"

Seeing Shota laugh, Huang Quan quickly said with a serious expression, "It's just a matter of being curious about new things."

"Alright alright."

Shota and Yomi have maintained a relationship that's more than romantic but less than platonic, a relationship that's been accepted by everyone. Sometimes Shota treats Yomi like a close friend, sharing things he can't tell Rea, and sometimes he teases this innocent young girl who's never been in a relationship. However, neither of them ever crosses the line. Even though they admire and like each other, maintaining this relationship is the best outcome for both of them, at least for now.

"Wait, what about the pregnancy I mentioned earlier?"

Huang Quan thought about it and realized that Shota hadn't mentioned this matter, the most serious one, at all.

"..."

Shota shuddered and said, "Well, things are even more serious when you get to the point."

Since things have come to this point, let it all be exposed. At least the more people who know, the more people will help me find a solution...

Then Huang Quan showed an expression as if he had seen a pervert.

"That's why I never dared to say this before, not even to Rea. After all, it's just too embarrassing to talk about this kind of thing."

Shota was already sobbing uncontrollably, his face buried in his hands.

"This...it's not your fault..."

"Oh, thank you."

After hearing Huang Quan's words of comfort, Shota regained his normal expression and asked, "So what should we do now? Although we can delay it for a few years, the matter will eventually be exposed."

"This kind of thing... even if you asked me, I wouldn't know. Besides, isn't Hagoromo Gitsune from the Nura Clan? This kind of thing is just too confusing."

Huang Quan sighed and said, "You make the decision yourself. There's nothing I can do to help with this. At most, I can keep it from Li Mi for a month. You'll have to explain yourself within that month... Oh, by the way..."

Huang Quan turned to look at Xiang Tai and said, "No matter what, I think you need to talk to the child's mother. After all... never mind, you can figure out what to do yourself."

"..."

As he watched Huang Quan depart, a helpless, bitter smile appeared on Shota's face.

"You are a demon by nature, why bother with these worldly matters?"

Shinobu appeared at the other end of the bathtub. After splashing a few water droplets with her hand, she said nonchalantly, "It's normal for powerful demons to have many male lovers and wives."

"Mom, you have no right to say that."

"You... Hmph."

Shinobu, who was shut up by Shota's words, let out a cold snort. She suppressed the good news she originally wanted to tell Shota and decided to let him continue to misunderstand and see how far he could go.

Is conception really that simple? Yes, it is indeed very simple, but how could Shota's tragic first experience possibly satisfy a woman... If a woman is not satisfied, even inserting his tail will be completely useless.

"Shota-kun, dinner is ready."

Rei's voice came from outside the door.

"Hi, I'm here."

Patting his face, putting his confusion aside for the time being, Shota dried himself off and walked outside.

After dinner, Yomi and Mashiro, who had gone out again not long after, quickly returned home. The nighttime entertainment was quite varied. The three yokai and one ghost each had a handheld console and played games online to pass the time. Then, they would sit in front of the TV and watch the late-night anime series intently. After doing all this, they would probably go back to their rooms to rest.

"Hehehe."

Mashiro has been ordered to sleep in another room on the weekend, but with her determination, how could she give up so easily? While Shota was still outside, she sneaked into his room first.

I opened the drawer and found a bottle—it contained personal lubricant.

"Glug glug glug—"

After unscrewing the cap and swallowing all the lubricant, Mashiro nodded contentedly, then inserted her finger inside again...

Mashiro's slippery bodily fluids slowly filled the entire bottle of lubricant...

"come on!"

She said "Go for it!" to the lubricant bottle, and a miniature Shiro's face seemed to appear inside and nod at her.

After hiding the items back in their original place, Mashiro pretended nothing had happened and slipped out.

after a while……

"Then I'll go to sleep first, Rea."

"Hmm? Are you going straight to sleep?"

"Ah, I'm a little tired. I've been feeling a bit sleepy lately."

Shota lazily flopped onto the bed and said, "Don't worry about me if you want to watch TV or do anything. I'll sleep like a log."

Following the rustling sounds, Rea changed into her pajamas and slowly crawled to the spot next to Shota, saying with her bright eyes, "I'll take a nap too."

"Vampires don't need to sleep at all."

Shota rolled over to face Rea, placed his hand behind her and stroked her long, soft hair, then pressed his forehead against hers and said, "Aren't you bored?"

"Absolutely not."

Rea placed her hand on Shota's chest, feeling his heartbeat, and said, "Watching Shota-kun sleep is quite an interesting thing."

"Oh... whatever you want."

Shota smiled and said, "Good night."

"OK, good night."

After giving Shota a light kiss on the lips like a chick pecking at rice, Rea smiled happily. Just sleeping together like this, without doing anything else, was a great happiness.

What should I do...?

Or should we go find that Hagoromo Gitsune? That might not be a good idea... If she's finally managed to forget what happened that night and is ready to start over, wouldn't going back just be rubbing salt into her wounds?

—The mountain flowers bloom in seven or eight layers, yet pitifully, not a single seed is borne—

For some reason, Shota suddenly thought of the look of despair mixed with endless longing in Hagoromo Gitsune's eyes when she said those words.

She... really wants to have her own child, doesn't she?

Why don't you go and tell her?

"Shouta-kun?"

"Ok?"

Shota opened his eyes again and looked at Rea, asking, "What's wrong?"

"I just noticed that Shota's eyelids have been twitching. Is something on your mind?"

Reiya keenly noticed Shota's unusual behavior.

"Hmm, a little bit."

Shota didn't deny it, but he made up his mind and said, "I'll go to Kyoto next week to take care of some business. We can talk in detail when I get back, okay?"

"Um……"

Rei wasn't the type to push her luck, so seeing that Shota had already said so, she nodded.

Inside the cabinet, inside the lubricant bottle, that little slime clone is still eagerly waiting for someone to take her out and use her...

Unfortunately, that's not possible today, at least.

"Ugh."

Mashiro from the next room let out a disgruntled groan...

Chapter 165. Return to Kyoto

"Kyoto, Kyoto~ I'm back!"

It had been more than half a year since I last left Kyoto. The last great battle had left a lot of impact on the city. Although the relevant departments tried their best to hide the existence of monsters, the truth could not be hidden forever. All kinds of urban legends came out in droves. For a time, people all over Japan who were interested in monster tales came here to try to find traces of monsters.

Of course, with the cooperation of the Kakai-in, most of the traces were erased, and the city's enthusiasm for yokai also gradually faded. After all, Kyoto's only great yokai had always been in seclusion, so the yokai in Kyoto certainly didn't dare to come out and do anything. As a result, there were far fewer yokai wandering around the city every night than in Tokyo.

Shota came to Kyoto by Shinkansen. After getting off the train, he shook his head with a sigh when he saw the old-fashioned architectural style of Kyoto.

"Pack."

Yomi's voice echoed in Shota's mind. Because Yomi knew the whole story, she had come along—which reassured Rea, who knew that Yomi would not let Shota run wild.

"What's there to pretend about? Huang Quan, haven't you noticed that you've become more aggressive towards me lately since you've been in contact with Senjougahara more?"

Yomi, dressed in a black kimono and holding a small black umbrella, appeared beside Shota, who immediately retorted, "This is not good. Why don't you learn more from Rea?"

"If Rei finds out about these things, I'm sure you're in for a rough time."

Huang Quan threatened Shota, "It's not impossible for me to castrate you."

Shota shuddered and quickly shook his head, saying, "Reya was just saying it. I know she wouldn't do such a thing. But... she'll definitely keep everything to herself, which is why I don't dare to say anything."

"...At least you still have some conscience."

"But...sigh."

Shota glanced at Yomi, who resembled a classical beauty, and said, "Do you think I have a chance to build a harem?"
