Shota is surrounded by monsters!

Shota stomped heavily on the ground, and a cloud of black mist enveloped his body, then...

All the black energy began to concentrate in front of them, and the suddenly appearing ferocious giant head swallowed all the black energy in front of it in one gulp, and then opened its abyssal maw once again!

"boom--"

The air bullet, mixed with black airflow, violently tore through everything in its path. Those standing behind Shota even felt the oxygen around them being sucked out, giving them a momentary illusion of suffocation.

As for the monsters facing this attack...

"Tch, only hit one?"

The surrounding walls had all been destroyed, and the streetlights and other things at the crossroads ahead had also disappeared. However, the aura of the group of monsters had vanished all at once—except for one disgusting monster on the ground that was rather short and whose clothes were all torn.

"Did everyone else escape?"

Kubinashi stepped forward to examine the corpse of the monster he had dragged down, then turned to Shota, who was about to come up to eat, and said, "It seems to be still alive. Let's take it back for questioning."

"Whatever. I'll come over for dinner tonight."

Having lost track of the other party, Shota had no way to continue the pursuit. Instead, he turned to Rikuo and said, "They're after you."

"Ah, I know."

Lu Sheng nodded solemnly and said, "Since that's the case, I won't back down either."

"Shota-kun is so handsome~"

Rea came up and stroked Shota's fur.

"Hey, really?"

Shota still gets shy when praised so directly.

"Mmm." Rea nodded, then said, "But your clothes are all ruined, aren't they? You can't go home like this, can you? Hurry up and turn into Shota-chan, then I'll carry you home, okay?"

"..."

So that's what the purpose was.

However, what Rea said was indeed a problem, so Shota had no choice but to shrink smaller and smaller until Rea held him in her soft chest with one hand and took him home.

"It's best to stay home as much as possible these days, meow."

After parting ways with Rikuo and the others, Shota said to Mashiro and Rea, "Things aren't quite right, as you can see."

"It's alright, it's alright, I'm very strong."

Rea, holding Shota in her arms, said nonchalantly, "Besides, Shota-chan is here to protect me, so there's nothing to worry about."

"That being said... well, let's just try not to separate in the future, meow."

However, Rea having to go to class is a real problem. Shota thought for a moment and said, "How many days off should I ask the school for next week, nya?"

"Hmm? But staying at home can be really boring..."

"Just come play at our school, meow."

Shota licked his paws and said, "This kind of thing won't turn into a tug-of-war. The Nura Clan isn't someone to be trifled with, meow. As long as they're in this city, they definitely won't escape. Maybe this weekend... Oh right, I should go and cause them some trouble, meow."

This is what it means to cause trouble.

"Issuyama-Yellow Springs Lord"

When Shota called her name in such a light and cheerful tone, Yomi suddenly shivered. She glanced at Shota, who had a sunny smile on his face, and asked, "Is there something you need, Kosaka Shota-kun?"

Girls are girls after all; her drawn-out pronunciation sounded much better than Shota's. But when Yomi shouted like that, the eyes of the whole class seemed to subtly shift towards the two of them.

"..."

Shota had no choice but to return to his seat and wait until no one was paying attention before making a move.

As soon as class started, Shota tore off a piece of paper, ready to continue communicating in this fun way of passing notes.

"A monster has come to cause trouble."

Huang Quan flicked the note back onto Shota's desk.

"What do you mean?"

Shota gestured for Mashiro to keep her eyes off the note, as it would attract the teacher's attention, and then wrote:

"The monsters from the four countries have come to cause trouble. They're quite strong, with at least seven of them being B-rank or higher, and it's uncertain whether there are any A-rank ones."

Upon seeing the note Shota had written, Yomi was visibly shocked. She tapped her pen on the table and then quickly wrote:

"Where are they? Which specific monsters are they?"

"Seven of us are traveling together, and I don't know about the others. But you should know that those monsters like to use humans as sacrifices to increase their power. Not all monsters are as law-abiding as we are."

"I understand. I will go back and ask for instructions, but let me make it clear first, please do not involve humans in your battle."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Shota thought for a moment, then wrote on the note, "What brand is the perfume? It smells pretty good."

Upon seeing the note, Huang Quan's face flushed slightly. She turned to look at Xiang Tai, but found he wasn't looking at her, so she wrote on the note:

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. By the way, let me know what brand it is, I'll buy some to take home..."

After thinking about it, Shota decided to delete the second half of his sentence. After all, it seemed a bit too impolite to say that he wanted to take the perfume she was wearing to use as a condiment.

But... does this guy even know how to use perfume? It looks like he's applied a ton.

However, Shota's favorite flavor is the strong one. The more he smells it, the more he wants to devour Yomi.

Chapter Sixty-Eight. The Wedding

Good morning!

Early Saturday morning, Kagura pushed open the door to the countermeasures office and greeted everyone with a bright and cheerful smile.

Good morning!

The exorcists sitting in the office greeted Kagura as she walked in, and Kagura took a document out of her bag and said, "A new map of demonic energy distribution."

"Oh, thank you for your help."

Sakuraba Kazuki, a man skilled in combat with modern weapons, accepted the item handed to him by Kagura.

"However, starting last night, not only evil spirits, but also monsters have been attacking humans much more often," Sakuraba Kazuki said with some dissatisfaction. "This is really troublesome. It looks like I'll be working overtime every day from now on."

"A monster...?"

Kagura muttered something with a complicated expression.

Good morning, Kagura!

Just as she was stunned for a moment, someone suddenly rushed up from behind and hugged her.

"Ah, Huang Quan, good morning."

Kagura, who was treated so warmly, did not have much dissatisfaction.

"Hey Kagura, how many points did you guys get on the last Mandarin test?"

"Huh? Why does Huang Quan know about this?"

"Because I know everything about Kagura." Huang Quan secretly pulled a test paper out of Kagura's bag and said with a wicked smile, "You can't hide anything from me."

Perhaps because her grades were too embarrassing, Kagura hurriedly chased after Yomi to get her test paper back: "Since you know, then don't take my test paper."

"Oh, is this mouth just making excuses?"

"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

Two girls brazenly flaunted their affection in front of a group of men, while the others merely shifted their gaze slightly, a situation they were all too familiar with.

"what."

Halfway through her shout, Kagura suddenly stopped, tilted her head to look at Yomi who was hooked around her from behind, and said, "It smells really nice, Yomi, what did you use?"

Hearing Kagura say that, Yomi quickly let go of her hand and took a few steps back. With an innocent look on her face, she poked her cheek with her finger and said in a drawn-out tone, "It's no use at all."

Actually, she was just a little embarrassed.

"You can't fool our noses."

The two switched sides in an instant. This time, Kagura cornered Yomi and looked at her with suspicion.

Stared at like that, Huang Quan had no choice but to back down. She took out a perfume bottle from her pocket and argued, "This is it. I bought it yesterday, yesterday morning."

For some reason, Kagura seemed somewhat dissatisfied with this answer and continued to press, "Your eyelashes are much longer than usual."

"What's the big deal? I can do makeup too!"

Huang Quan turned her face away, her cheeks flushed, and forced herself to raise her voice in rebuttal.

"Hehe, Huang Quan used to know absolutely nothing about makeup, has she suddenly awakened to it?"

"Yes, yes, that's right, Senjougahara taught me, so why can't I?"

Huang Quan quickly pulled out his half-disciple to take the blame.

"Ah, I understand!"

Kagura suddenly realized something, took a step back, pointed at Yomi, and said, "Aren't you on a date with Ki-chan today?"

“No, that’s not true!” Huang Quan retorted nervously, “There was absolutely no such arrangement.”

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

"morning."

Iizuka Noriyuki walked in with his hands in his pockets and a kite perched on his shoulder, looking rather lazy.

"what."

He stopped halfway down and asked, "Doesn't it smell awful?"

Huang Quan's expression changed instantly.

"What is this? It smells so strong, like perfume."

Everyone sensed something was wrong. At the same time, the expert firefighter Kagura rushed to Iitsuna Noriyuki's side and said, "Ah, that's mine, mine."

As he spoke, he even displayed the perfume he had just taken from Yomi in front of Izuna Noriyuki.

"What? It's Kagura. This is a workplace, don't bring things like this here." Seeing that it was Kagura, Iizuna Noriyuki changed his tone and said in a lecturing tone, "In our family, people have very sensitive noses."
