"You two have a very good relationship."
"Um......"
Himeragi Yukina nodded a little shyly: "I treat Sayaka like an older sister. She's beautiful and cute, has a likable personality, and is very gentle. She's a roommate I'm proud of."
"Gentle?" Shi Chen's lips twitched.
"Teacher?" Himeragi Yukina looked at him in confusion.
"It's nothing, it's just that after hearing what you said, I've become a little curious about her."
“Teacher, Sashika isn’t a loli, you don’t need to be interested in her,” Himeragi Yukina couldn’t help but say.
"...I've already told you I'm not a lolicon!"
"Is that so?" Himeragi Yukina didn't believe him at all.
"You're getting more and more impolite... Fine, let's go."
“Okay.” Himeragi Yukina picked up the portable hard-shell instrument case that was placed to the side of the room. This was not the black instrument case she usually carried.
However, there's only a small amount of stuff inside.
"Why are you still carrying a weapon?" Shi Chen asked.
"It feels a bit dangerous, you should take it with you."
"With me here, how could you possibly be in danger? I will protect you."
"Hmm... It's really dangerous that the teacher said something like that so casually." Himeragi Yukina muttered shyly.
"what?"
"It's okay... I don't need the teacher's protection. I can protect myself. I don't want to become a burden to the teacher if something happens," Himeragi Yukina said earnestly.
"Really? Whatever you want, as long as you're happy."
It wasn't out of place for Yukina Himeragi to be carrying this thing; she was wearing a party dress and had the air of a classical musician preparing to go to a symphony orchestra concert.
"Mmm!" Himeragi Yukina nodded with a slight smile.
The person who invited Shichen to the party, the one who played with snakes mentioned by Nangong Nayue, was Lord Ordiaru, whose name was Dimitri Vatra.
His pleasure boat was conspicuously moored in the harbor, and even from a distance, one could sense its luxuriousness.
The party was scheduled to start at 10 p.m., but Shishi and Himeragi Yukina left at 9 p.m.
Although they arrived an hour early, a large number of invited guests were already boarding the ship when the two of them arrived.
"Wow, so luxurious!" Yukina Himeragi couldn't help but exclaim as she looked at the luxury ship.
The ship's name, "Ous Grave," is engraved on its hull, and its bright lights make it appear magnificent in the night.
"It's said to be that person's personal property. Nobles in the War King's Domain are very wealthy, but I think the other party is using this method to demonstrate their power," Himeragi Yukina said calmly.
"Really?" Shi Chen didn't seem to care much.
"Teacher, don't take this lightly. The nobles of the Night Empire are sailing here in such a grand manner. This is definitely a demonstration against the visiting country, even if they are not sailing warships but just civilian vessels," Himeragi Yukina emphasized seriously.
"You know quite a lot, but don't be so nervous with me here," Shi Chen said with a smile, trying to comfort him.
"Hmm... Even if the teacher is very capable, what will happen to ordinary people if a war really breaks out?"
"Itogami Island is mine, and the people here are mine too. Naturally, I won't let anything happen to them. Besides, their purpose might be quite simple." Tokimitsu said with a gloomy face.
He doesn't care about other people's sexual orientation and even respects it, but it's a different story if it's someone else's.
He wouldn't hesitate; if that guy tried to lay a hand on him later, he wouldn't mind annihilating him instantly.
"Simple?" Himeragi Yukina blinked in confusion, looking at the time.
"Don't worry about it, you'll probably find out soon enough." Shi Chen rubbed her head.
"Really, teacher, you're giving me riddles again."
The two of them boarded the ship as well.
"These are all big shots you only see on TV," Himeragi Yukina whispered to Tokimitsu, sizing up the passengers boarding the ship.
"Really?" Shi Chen looked around, but didn't recognize anyone.
"They're all big names in finance and politics..."
"Then aren't we a bit out of place?"
"That won't happen."
Himeragi Yukina laughed, a little proudly: "The First Progenitor's envoy has come to visit this island. The first person to greet should be the Fifth Progenitor who rules this land. Teacher, you are the most important guest of honor at this party."
"Really? But nobody here knows me."
"Only you would think that way, teacher. Look, they're all sizing us up. Maybe they have some secret information and already know who you are," Himeragi Yukina joked.
"I think they were eyeing us because we looked like an odd young couple."
"A young couple!?" Himeragi Yukina immediately blushed and became shy.
"Hehe~" Shi Chen found it amusing.
"Teacher...you're teasing me again!" Himeragi Yukina glared at him, her face flushed.
"Don't we look alike?" Shi Chen asked back.
"Um...no, it doesn't look like it!" Himeragi Yukina denied, biting her lip.
"Really?" Shi Chen leaned closer to her, smiling as he looked into her eyes.
"So close... Teacher, you mustn't do that!" Himeragi Yukina's heart raced, and she quickly pushed Toki's face away to prevent him from hearing.
"I'm so shy."
"No way! Teacher, you're such a pervert, let's leave here."
Shichen's actions just now attracted even more attention, and Himeragi Yukina couldn't help but believe what Shichen said; they now mistook them for a young couple.
This made her feel embarrassed to stay there any longer.
"Then where are we going?"
"Let's go find the mastermind directly." Ignoring the clock, Himeragi Yukina pushed the clock aside and left the hall that served as the meeting place.
"Do you know where he is?" Shichen let her push him.
"They're probably on the upper deck. Let's go check it out first."
"Good good."
Shi Chen didn't like being stared at by this group of middle-aged men, but he also knew where the mastermind was.
As a fellow vampire, he could easily sense that his powerful brethren were nearby, which made all his senses acute.
But that's all there is to it. The familiar beast within him is somewhat disdainful of its own kind.
They looked down on the familiars that the other party possessed.
In fact, Yukina Himeragi could also sense it; with the help of the sword shaman's spiritual vision, she could easily detect the location of Demetrius Vatra.
Shichen followed Himeragi Yukina towards the stairs in the corner of the hall. She walked a little fast, so Shichen grabbed her slender hand.
"Huh?" Himeragi Yukina stopped abruptly, turning around to look at her hand that was being held.
"T-Teacher?"
Himeragi Yukina tensed up.
Shi Chen squeezed her hand and explained with a smile, "You're walking too fast, I can't keep up with you, and there are so many guests."
"How could the teacher not keep up...?"
"Go quickly, I'll follow you."
"Hmm...I understand..."
Himeragi Yukina gently bit her lip, reluctantly accepting the situation, and pulled Tokishi along as they continued walking.
The two quickly reached the upper deck, but as soon as they stepped onto the deck, a silver light shot towards them.
call out--!
The silver light was aimed at the two people's clasped hands, and the killing intent was concentrated on Shichen's hand.
"Teacher, watch out!"
"fine."
With a sudden pull, Shichen drew Himeragi Yukina into his arms.
"Huh?" Himeragi Yukina froze.
Boom-!
At that moment, a flash of silver light swept past the two of them and slammed into the ship's wall—it was a fork.
"What are you doing! Let go of Setsuna!"
Accompanied by a woman's sharp shout, a young girl holding a fork walked over angrily.
She wore a purple cheongsam, her chestnut hair contrasting beautifully with her fair skin. Her pretty face and slender figure complemented the cheongsam perfectly.
A young girl's appearance can easily capture the attention of the opposite sex.
"What are you doing?" Shi Chen looked at the girl helplessly and questioned her.
"Excuse me, I just accidentally dropped my hand," Sayaka Kirasaka replied without any apology.
The person who came was none other than Sayaka Kirasaka, and the only one who could be so rude to Tokimitsu in this place was the one who had just been bullied by Tokimitsu.
Shichen glared at her, annoyed. "I'd like to ask you, what kind of accident would cause you to throw the fork like an arrow? And almost hurt Yukina!"
"How could that be? I know my limits. I was only targeting you. Who gave you the right to hold Yukina's hand? You're going to defile Yukina! And let go of Yukina right now!"
"So you admit it, huh? Looks like the lesson I taught you last time wasn't enough." Shi Chen narrowed his eyes, his gaze threatening.
"Ugh..." Saya Kirasaka panicked and inexplicably straightened her legs and body, feeling a faint pain in her back.
“Teacher…” Himeragi Yukina spoke from Tokimitsu’s arms.
"What's wrong? Are you alright?" Shi Chen looked down at her.
