I'm surrounded by devil sisters!

Just like for Hanakaiin Fukugui, even if it was Vali in Tyrant Dragon state, he could be defeated with just one punch, and as for the Brave Village... Vali probably wouldn't even need to use the forbidden hand, just spreading the White Dragon King's wings of light would be enough to knock all of them to their knees.

And now that the Demon King's daughter has appeared in Kanto, it's no wonder that the people in the Brave Village are as nervous as a quail.

Very reasonable.

So in the living room of the apartment, the distance between the three people on the sofa seemed to become closer as time went by.

When Hanakaiin Fukui just sat down, Nonaka Yuki and Astaruddy sat at the two ends of the sofa, leaving the middle seat empty for Hanakaiin Fukui.

In order to prevent the latter from misunderstanding, the two girls even sat down close to the edge of the sofa armrest.

However, the space between the two girls and the armrests of the sofas on both sides is now enough to add two more seats.

"To be honest, I was really surprised. I didn't expect to meet Fogui in Tokyo. When I first saw him, I thought I was seeing things."

The brave girl calmly held the boy's right hand with both hands and naturally placed it on her absolute territory that just covered the middle of her thigh.

"So after that... has Fugui already left the Hanakaiin household?"

"I'm not leaving, I just don't live with them anymore."

Hanakaiin Fogui said as he felt the warmth on the girl's legs.

"Besides, why should I leave? Those things were originally mine. If the old people in the branch family are not convinced, they can let their descendants compete for the position of acting. It's just that their descendants are not motivated enough to do so. In comparison, if I officially announce my departure from the Hanakaiyuan family, then I will truly fulfill their wishes."

"I just want my things to be left there. No one will dare to touch them if I'm not watching."

Hey~

I don't look at...

No one dared to move...

These two sentences seemed to touch the girl's heart, causing Nonaka Yuuki, whose expression rarely changed, to have some emotional fluctuations.

"But when it comes to this..."

"Well?"

"Your sword is still in the village, in the same place."

"……oh?"

Huakaiyuan Fogui was slightly stunned.

Of course he knew what the sword that Yuuki Nonaka was talking about was. It was the best sword in the entire Brave Village, also known as the Village Sword. According to legend, it contained the soul of Brunhilde, the strongest Valkyrie in heaven, and it was once used by the Brave Village as a seal to suppress evil spirits.

But later, because someone pulled it out for his own death, the sealed evil spirit rushed out and possessed all the villagers around at the time, causing them to fight everywhere, and eventually caused a huge tragedy in the village.

It was also the time when the Hanakaiin family and the Brave Village were jointly holding a training camp.

"The sword is still there."

Huakaiyuan Buddha gave a loud cry.

Nonaka Yuki nodded slightly: "Although the village behind has sent people to retrieve it many times, they have failed..."

"It has nothing to do with me."

Huakaiyuan Fogui answered very clearly and concisely.

He just stuck the sword there and left without looking back.

"I know."

Nonaka Yuki nodded again.

"But later I discussed this matter with Kurumi, Hayase, and the others, and we all came to the conclusion that only you, Fogui, can pick up the sword again."

"Well... let's talk about it later."

Huakaiyuan Fogui's answer was somewhat ambiguous.

After all, the magic sword Brunhilde is indeed a good sword in the mountain village, but it would be a huge waste if it can only be placed there for viewing and cannot be used.

But for Huakaiyuan Fugui...it seems that he is really of little use.

"By the way, since the mountain village sent you here to carry out a mission, have you arranged accommodations?"

"No."

Yuuki Nonaka denied it quite naturally, then gestured towards the floor below with her eyes, her tone calm and composed.

"So if possible, I'd like to stay here tonight. I'm so lucky. I thought I'd have to sleep on the streets in the scorching summer..."

But before the girl could finish her words, Huakaiyuan Fogui interrupted.

"It's okay for you to live here, but don't go into the bedroom on the inside. That's Kuroka's room, and the bedroom on the outside is my room. You can use it as you like, Yuki."

"……how about you?"

The brave girl paused.

Hanakaiin Fogui shook his head and said, "I won't be here tonight. I'm going to go to Naruse Mio and the others later, and then go back to the Demon Realm at night."

"Demon Realm?"

Yuuki Nonaka was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted.

"I understand. It's okay. The village has prepared enough money for us to stay in a hotel."

"?"

Didn’t you just say you were going to sleep on the streets, and now you’re staying in a hotel, right?

The range of treatment is quite large.

……

In this way, Yuuki Nonaka stayed at Hanakaiin Fukui's house until almost evening before leaving.

The reason for her leaving was naturally because Hua Kaiyuan Fugui was leaving, and the reason Hua Kaiyuan Fugui was leaving was that it was almost time to get off work. Although Astelli had only been working at the Genshinjima Special Guard for two days, she was also a formal employee brought in by Nangong Nayue. She could not fail to punch in and out at get off work, otherwise her salary would be deducted.

Then the perspective changed, the sun was setting, and the brave girl who had just come out of the apartment building was walking on the sidewalk along the street, looking down at the navigation on her mobile phone.

Hanakaiin Fugui has already left with Astaroute, and she is now going to prepare her own accommodation for tonight.

In fact, if you insist, Nonaka Yuuki did not lie. The mountain village did not prepare accommodation for them, but simply gave them the accommodation funds in cash and let them decide where to live.

It was precisely because of this that Nonaka Yuuki was able to decide on her own where to stay at a hotel that was closest to Hanakaiin Buddha's house. Even if she walked, it would only take her twenty minutes at most. With her brave physique, she could arrive in just over ten minutes.

perfect.

However, just as the brave girl couldn't help but smile for her plan, the screen of her mobile phone was suddenly covered by an incoming call ID.

The caller is Kurumi Nonaka.

Chapter 240 Tempting Jest

"……walnut?"

She slowed down her pace a little, and although she didn't understand why her sister suddenly called her at this time, Yuxi still answered the call.

The next second, a rather energetic but slightly serious girl's voice came from the other end of the line.

"Ah, it's all connected, sister?"

"Yeah, it's me. What's wrong, Kurumi?"

If she had received this call half a day ago, Yuki would probably have thought that her sister had discovered the trace of the Demon King Wilbert's daughter.

But now, since Fogui said that he was watching it, there was basically nothing for them to do. Naturally, it was impossible for them to find Hu Tao either.

So, there was only one reason why Kurumi called.

"It's nothing. I just don't remember ever traveling so far alone. I'm a little uncomfortable being out there alone, so I thought I'd give you a call and ask."

Walnut on the other end of the phone seemed to be still outside, and the background sound was a mixture of city advertisements and cars on the road.

"By the way, sister, have you made any progress on the mission today?"

"……No."

Yuxi knew very well that it was doomed that she would not be able to make any progress in the mission.

But in order to avoid being exposed, she added a sentence.

"Walnut, what about you over there? Have you found anything?"

When talking on the phone with her elder sister who she grew up with, Hu Tao's tone was obviously much more relaxed and casual.

"Hmm~ I don't have any here either... After all, Chiba is so big. Walking down the street, there are people everywhere. At a glance, everyone looks different. How can I find it so quickly? I even feel like I might wander around here forever and never find it."

"It's okay... there's no rush anyway."

Yuki paused subtly.

"The mountain village intends to treat this mission as a long-term one. The funds provided at the time of departure are only for the first phase of the mission, and they will be transferred every month thereafter."

"Uh-huh……"

It seemed as if Hu Tao on the other end of the line was thinking of something, and there seemed to be a hint of absent-mindedness in her answering voice.

After about two seconds, she suddenly sighed softly.

"Alas, it's not too early now. Let's end our first day of job hunting here. I think it's about time to check in at the hotel. How are you over there, sister?"

"I... am about the same."

Yuki hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth.

"I'm on my way to the hotel right now. Like you said, it's getting late."

"Uh-huh!"

Perhaps it was the phone call that gave the girl, who had never traveled so far alone since she was a child, the reassurance of having her family by her side, and Hu Tao's voice became clearer.

"Oh, by the way, sister, I saw a recommendation on the map for a hotel called xx. It's said to be quite famous in Chiba and has a good reputation. I plan to go there to check in with the class later. Is it the same for you, sister?"

"That's not the case here. The name of the hotel here is..."

Naturally, she wouldn't harbor any suspicion towards her sister, so Yuki told her the name of the hotel where she was about to stay.

Walnut on the other end of the phone repeated the name of the hotel, and then changed her tone to one that sounded a little regretful.

"Oh, I see. I thought we'd be staying at the same hotel chain as my sister."

"..."

"Goodbye, sister. I'm hanging up now."

……

The call between the brave girls ended here. At the same time, in the top-floor suite of a hotel, which was only a twenty-minute walk away from the apartment building where the Hanakaiin Buddhist Apartment was located.

"Speaking of which, during the few days I was away, you guys didn't just go out and play without any scruples, did you?"

In the living room of the suite, Hanakaiin Fukui, who had just returned from Gengami Island after sending Astaruti off, looked helplessly at the two girls, one big and one small, sitting together on the sofa.

"Go out and play without any scruples? Why do you say that?"

Naruse Mio pushed herself up from the sofa with her hands. Due to inertia, the two peaks on her chest suddenly flipped up and down several times when she stood up, which was extremely visually impactful.

She took two steps at a time and quickly came to the boy, raised her face, stood on tiptoe, and approached him with great momentum.

"Besides, why don't you tell me why you haven't been here for the past few days?"

"Because I have other things to do, didn't I tell you that?"

"You said that? Why don't I remember?"

"I came here about a week ago at night, but you were taking a shower and I was in a hurry to go back, so I told Maria and asked her to help relay the message... uh..."

The truth is often discovered inadvertently. As the second half of Hua Kaiyuan Fogui's words came out, the red-haired girl who was originally a little bit in a bad mood suddenly had red eyes and shook her head like a lion at the nightmare girl who was still sitting on the sofa with an embarrassed look on her face.

This guy! He obviously forgot!

"Vanilla!"

After shouting these three words with gritted teeth, Naruse Mio pounced on the nightmare girl with a bob-haired hairstyle like a tiger and punched her hard into her head.

Fortunately, Xuela came out from the side of the suite in time and clapped her hands gently to stop the two girls from making a fuss.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Good sisters shouldn't fight like this~"

Then she turned to Huakaiyuan Fogui, and a smile that was quite charming like a wife appeared on her delicate face, which was no different from her daughter's.
