The girl's reaction was a bit excessive.
Her eyes were full of surprise as she looked at Aoba.
"Yes, I know her. Ms. Yukino was my homeroom teacher when I was in high school."
Aoba nodded with a smile.
"Then... Xiaojing?"
Kasumigaoka was just about to ask a question.
Then she suffered a merciless blow from Hiratsuka Shizuka.
"Ouch~!"
"Students are not allowed to call teachers by their first names, Kasumigaoka-kun."
"Xiaojing, this isn't school, don't take it so seriously."
Seeing this, Aoba smiled and looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka to offer some advice.
"And Aoba, you too!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka became even angrier when she heard Aoba speak up:
"You've had Kasumigaoka here for so long, and you haven't even told me!?"
"Huh?! How can you blame me for this?"
"If it's not your fault, who is? Anyway, you have to treat me to dinner today!"
"Teacher Yukino?"
"Alright, Xiaojing, come here. Don't disturb Qingye's shop opening."
The farce between the four eventually attracted the attention of the other people in the store.
Mitsuha sat in the corner, watching three dazzling women surrounding her, not daring to utter a single word.
After all, even Kasumigaoka, where she had just established a friendship, was suppressed.
She dared not speak even more.
Meanwhile, the knot and the little grass beside them watched curiously.
The girl and the little girl were simply curious about these things and did not interrupt.
only. . .
"You are not allowed to bully Lord Aoba!!"
Mad Bone ran barefoot to the bar and spread his arms to block Aoba's way.
The little girl's green eyes seemed to be shimmering with a green fluorescence.
This scene stunned Kasumigaoka, Hiratsuka Shizuka, and even the usually calm Yukino Yukari.
He cast a questioning glance at Aoba at the front desk.
Who is this little girl who suddenly appeared?!
He was still calling out "Lord Aoba"...
Could it be that Aoba has now developed a taste for this?!
The girl and the two mature women simultaneously had a certain bad habit flash through their minds.
But he was interrupted by Aoba in an instant.
"Alright, Kyokotsu, these older sisters won't bully me."
Aoba smiled and rubbed Kyokotsu's little head.
Mad Bones!?
What a strange name.
The three of them looked at the little girl whose eyes were glowing green, and they were even more puzzled.
"Aoba, who is she...?"
Yukino Yukari asked first.
Before Aoba could answer, Kyokotsu raised his little head:
"I am Kyokotsu, a monster from the logistics team of the Hundred Demons Group!"
"He's also Lord Aoba's follower!"
Mad Bone's sudden self-disclosure stunned everyone else in the store.
"A monster?!" (For super-exciting novels, visit Feilu Novels!)
Kasumigaoka opened his mouth in surprise.
"Still the Hundred Demons Group? Then you know Yamabuki Otome?"
"You're not allowed to call my older sister by her first name!"
As a top fan of Otome Yamabuki, the little girl naturally wouldn't allow anyone else to call Otome by her name directly.
Even in their demon world, addressing someone by their name is considered very disrespectful.
"Big sister? It seems she really is an otome."
Seeing this, Kasumigaoka stroked his chin and looked at Aoba speechlessly.
"So, Otome just dumped the child on you? She just wants you to be the good guy, while she herself disappears somewhere?!"
The girl stared intently at Qingye, trying to read what he was saying from his eyes.
"Yamabuki Otome?!"
"Aoba, when did you become so good at making friends?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka was also somewhat surprised.
Even back in high school, Aoba was already quite popular with a few guys.
How come you've changed so much in just a few years?
They even took in monsters?
"Sigh~"
"Can you guys stop for a second?!"
Aoba felt a chill run down his spine from their conversation and gave a helpless, bitter smile.
"This is a long story, but all you need to know is that you'll probably see other monsters in the 20th district very soon."
"You mean the server merge?"
Yukino Yukari sat in her seat and looked at the somewhat cute Kyokotsu with a smile.
"Huh?! How did you know, Yukino-sensei?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka turned around and looked at Yukino in surprise.
"Because the school had already announced this a long time ago, and you skipped the meeting that day, so I had to go."
Yukino Yukari shook her head helplessly.
Xiao Jing, who usually seems very reliable, always avoids these kinds of meeting issues.
"As a model school in District 20, our school will conduct student exchange programs with some schools in District 19 in advance."
"There will be a group of exchange students then, and I heard they're monsters or demons or something."
Yukino Yukari's words made Aoba stroke his chin involuntarily.
He hadn't expected the merger to happen so quickly.
Furthermore, there will be exchange students, including monsters and demons, who will study at Toyonosaki Academy.
Does that mean that schools in the 20th ward can now admit students who are monsters?
Thinking of a certain possibility, he looked at Kyokotsu in front of the table.
"Teacher Yukino."
"Ok?"
Aoba suddenly looked at Yukino Yukari seriously, causing the latter's ears to turn slightly red.
"After the servers are merged, could you please give Mad Bone a spot?"
"Eh~?!"
Upon hearing this, the little girl, Kyokotsu, immediately became displeased and pouted in rebuttal:
"Lord Aoba!"
"Kyokotsu doesn't need to go to school!!!"
She was thinking of spending time with her older sister and Aoba, because if she went to school, she wouldn't have time to spend with them.
In Kyokotsu's small worldview, this was an enormous punishment.
"Da me oh~"
Aoba squatted down, looked at Kyokotsu seriously, and patted the little girl's head.
"If Kyokotsu has monster friends at school, he should go to school, and Otome will agree."
"Besides, doesn't Kyokotsu want to make new friends?"
He spoke very softly; after all, although Kyokotsu had lived for many years, he was still a child at heart.
"Does Lord Aoba dislike Kyokotsu?"
"No, I was just thinking that Kyokotsu has been with me and Otome all this time. Does he ever feel lonely?"
As a yokai, Kyokotsu is still very young.
It cannot compare to the memories of the two great yokai that the maiden inherited, nor even to the snow maiden.
"I...won't be lonely!"
