However, although he was convinced that the Golden Demon General was currently in Hokkaido, Yagami Sora was unable to confirm his specific location for a while.
After all, Hokkaido is so large and many areas are unexplored. There are so many places for the enemy to hide. If you really want to investigate bit by bit, you don't know where to find the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse.
So Yashenkong didn't plan to do this, but was going to approach it from another angle.
Since the other party is trying to distract you, it means that the other party is currently engaged in some kind of activity, and there is a risk of being noticed by you.
Therefore, as long as you pay attention to the recent abnormal events in Hokkaido, you should be able to find clues about the other party's whereabouts...
Thinking of this, Yashenkong put away the life and death ban and spoke to Yukino.
"Miss Yukino, there is something I want to ask you."
"Please tell me." Xueno nodded.
"Have you noticed any difference in Hokkaido recently compared to the past?" Yagami Sora asked.
"For example, is there anything unusual or something that makes you feel unnatural?"
"Is it an abnormal phenomenon..."
Yukino lowered his head when he heard this and recalled it seriously.
After a long while, he shook his head and said.
"As far as I know, nothing like this has happened. Hokkaido has been very harmonious recently."
She paused and asked curiously.
"Lord Yagami, why do you suddenly ask this? Is it related to this incident?"
"Yes, I suspect that the Golden Demon General is currently secretly active somewhere in Hokkaido." Yagami said.
"Although I still don't know the purpose of the other party, it's hard to imagine that the other party is the type to do good things secretly. He must be planning some conspiracy."
"Such an action should be accompanied by some abnormal phenomena, so I asked you the question just now."
"Is that so?" Yukino finally understood Yagami Sora's intention.
She thought for a moment and then spoke again.
"Lord Yagami, although I have indeed not noticed such a phenomenon, I cannot completely deny it."
"After all, I usually practice at the base and don't have much contact with the outside world. Even if something like that does happen, I might ignore it."
She changed her tone and suggested to Ye Shenkong.
"But, I know a monster. He has been paying attention to what happens in Hokkaido. If you ask him, you will definitely know the truth!"
"Oh? Is there such a monster?" Ya Shenkong asked in surprise.
"Well, he is my grandfather. He is the current leader of the Northern Monster Alliance. He is also the most powerful and knowledgeable monster in Hokkaido."
Yukino introduced proudly.
"Because grandpa is transformed from a tree, his personality is gentler than that of ordinary monsters. He can have a benevolent heart for both monsters and humans, so everyone in the Northern Monster Alliance respects him.
he."
Speaking of this, she remembered something again and then added.
"Of course, although he may occasionally be a little unruly, but overall he is a good and competent grandpa. For example, I asked grandpa to help solve the reward issue this time."
"Miss Yukino's grandfather?" Yagami Sora held his chin in thought.
"Sounds like a good idea, as long as the other party doesn't find it troublesome -"
“Don’t worry about such things at all!”
Before Yagami could finish speaking, Yukino couldn't help but blurt out.
Seeing this, Ye Shenkong was slightly startled and asked with some doubts.
"Miss Yukino, why did you say that?"
As if realizing her gaffe, Yukino quickly lowered her eyelids, coughed twice, and opened her mouth to explain.
"Ahem, because grandpa is actually very curious about Lord Yagami and has always wanted to meet you. If Lord Yagami can visit, he will definitely be very happy."
"Really? If that's the case, then I won't be polite."
The expression on Ya Shenkong's face showed a hint of relief.
He took out his cell phone and glanced at the schedule for tomorrow's school trip.
"It just so happens that tomorrow morning is free time, so let's schedule it at that time. Then I will ask Xiaosagawa to patrol together and visit Miss Yukino's grandfather."
"Okay, I understand."
Upon hearing this, Yukino quickly tapped the tip of her chin, as if she was afraid that Yagami Sora would regret it.
After Ye Shenkong's eyes moved elsewhere, she couldn't help but clenched her fists, and her heartbeat was pounding as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
It...succeeded!
If you put it in Neon, this kind of behavior should be called to the parents, right?
It is said that it is a step that humans must perform before a ceremony called marriage, in order to gain the approval of the other person's parents.
But he is a monster born from snowflakes and has no parents in the real sense. If you insist on saying so, the leader of the Cedar Tree Alliance is the only existence that comes close to this setting.
That's why grandpa asked him to take Lord Yagami back to see what kind of person he is.
But thinking about it, it shouldn't be difficult for Lord Yagami to gain Grandpa's approval. After all, Grandpa is so greedy for money.
So, is it my side that is having difficulty?
Thinking of this, Yukino's eyes couldn't help but be filled with a faint mist called worry, and she gently stroked her cheek with her palms.
I wonder what kind of people Yagami-sama’s father and mother are, and whether I, as a youkai, can be recognized by them——
"Moo! Don't even think about it!"
Suddenly, a roar shattered the girl's troubles.
Freed from the control of life and death, the Minotaur had no idea what had just happened, its eyes widened, and it continued to roar at the two people in front of it.
"No matter how you plan to torture me, I will never betray the organization!"
"I, Niu Da, am loyal to the organization——!"
Suddenly, a cloud of ice flowers exploded on its face, freezing its lips and teeth so tightly that it could no longer make any sound.
Looking at the panicked Minotaur in front of him, Yukino's pretty face became colder and colder as he pointed at it and asked.
"Lord Yagami, is this animal useless?"
"If it's useless, can you leave it to me?"
"Of course you can, let Miss Yukino handle it." Yagami said casually.
Hearing this, a cold smile gradually appeared on the corner of Yukino's mouth.
Looking at the Minotaur who was dripping with cold sweat, she gently raised her wrist and said softly.
"Then, let's make it into an ice sculpture that will never melt and put it on display here so that future monsters can learn from it."
...
At the same time, Hokkaido.
In a room at a resort.
At this moment, the fourteen-year-old Uchimura Bunta was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at his sister who was preparing enthusiastically in front of him, and said with some uneasiness.
"Sister, is it really okay for us to do this secretly?"
"If mom and dad find out, they will be very angry, right?"
Hearing this, Uchimura Yoko stopped what he was doing with some dissatisfaction.
"Then it's better not to let them know. We have all grown up and it's time to have our own world."
Looking at Bunta Uchimura, whose expression was obviously timid, she paused slightly and asked with interest.
"What's wrong, Mrs. Wentai, didn't you say you wanted to have a baby with your sister? Are you saying that you feel scared again now?"
"Well, after all, Mrs. Wen has been a crybaby ever since. If you're scared, just tell her sister. She won't laugh at you."
"Who said that, I'm not afraid!" Bunta Uchimura retorted with a blushing face, "I...I'm just inexperienced!"
"Really, that's good."
"Don't worry, it doesn't matter even if it's your first time, my sister will be there to guide you."
Uchimura Daiko smiled slightly, then reached out and held Uchimura Bunta's hand, stroked his fingers, and said with satisfaction.
"Well, Mrs. Wen's fingers are very nimble, so I'll leave the foreplay to Mrs. Wen."
"If you're ready, get ready to start."
"Uh-huh!"
Looking at her younger brother who was moving very awkwardly in front of her, Uchimura Yoko breathed out softly.
Then he reached out and took out a notebook with yellowed edges from his bag, and read the serious words on it.
"Then first, add eight liters of water to the magic circle, then two kilograms of carbon, five hundred grams of lime, and appropriate amounts of sulfur, saltpeter, magnesium, and iron..."
