In short, after the farce, the members of Yūto's family finally accepted Jūhi as a new member.
And due to Jūhi's performance, she gained considerable favor from both Jūhi and Ame Amagasaki.
When the little girl heard that even her own brother was unwilling to stand up for her, but the new sister Jūhi was willing to help, she was instantly won over.
On the side, Tsubaki, who had been lying on the ground, immediately realized that the sparring was over the moment Yūto appeared, and got up at the speed of light.
Then, he ran to Ryūki and flatteringly offered to help if she wanted to teach Shingyō Shingyō a lesson.
The reason he had been talking big before wasn't because he was being perfunctory with Ryūki, but because he really wasn't a match for her...
But now that a big shot like Jūhi was willing to step in, the situation was different.
A B-rank female spider, in Tsubaki's impression, Jūhi's demon power and race were on par with even Yūto, the lord.
Against Jūhi, Shingyō Shingyō was definitely in for a rough time, and if he just lent a hand, he could show his loyalty. Why not?
Watching the three of them plotting together, Ryūki waved her little hands excitedly, like a great general directing the troops, which made Yūto laugh.
Since Tsubaki and the others moved in, Yūto felt that his sister had become more optimistic.
But because of Tsubaki and the others' indulgence, the little girl had become more arrogant. He wasn't sure if it was his sister who had corrupted Tsubaki and the others, or if it was Tsubaki and the others who had corrupted his sister.
The next day, Yūto left home with Jūhi and Tsubaki.
Normally, Yūto would have left them behind to protect the family, but today's situation was special.
Today was his first official day on the job, and according to Shingyō Shingyō, his "shikigami" also needed to be registered with the relevant authorities.
Otherwise, using them in front of others in the future would be troublesome.
Yūto had considered hiding the true strength of his subordinates, but unfortunately, Tsubaki and Jūhi had no talent for concealment.
Moreover, to protect Ame Amagasaki and the others, Yūto didn't plan to hide them.
As for any other types of demons he might subdue in the future, Yūto wouldn't be foolish enough to report them.
Shingyō Shingyō's efficiency was very high. Yūto had only agreed to join the Unnatural Countermeasures Group yesterday, and a moving company had already come to service them last night.
Yūto and his family had now moved from the long-time residence in Ukiyo-chō to a central area of the city.
However, Yūto was not entirely satisfied with the accommodation arranged by the Unnatural Countermeasures Group, and after some negotiation, they changed to another place.
The Unnatural Countermeasures Group had originally arranged a place for Yūto's family near the largest shrine in the area, the Tsuchimikado Shrine.
The Tsuchimikado Shrine has a long history, and the current head, Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro, is one of the most powerful onmyōji of the present day.
Living near the Tsuchimikado Shrine, there would be no need to worry about demon attacks, but one's family knows one's own affairs.
Yūto's family now consisted of only five members, and apart from Ame Amagasaki, the other four were either half-demons or demons. Living near such a prestigious shrine would be like courting death.
In the end, Yūto only asked Shingyō Shingyō to find him a sufficiently large residence, and he didn't care about the location, as he could handle the safety issues himself.
Living near a shrine would be difficult, as it would require prior communication with the head of the shrine, but simply arranging a sufficiently large residence was easy for the Unnatural Countermeasures Group.
Shingyō Shingyō just made a few phone calls, and before long, a property deed for a luxurious villa in the suburbs was delivered to Yūto.
For the Unnatural Countermeasures Group, which was backed by the state and had deep pockets, if Yūto and his family wanted to live near a shrine, it would be more troublesome.
But if they just wanted a large house, that was a minor request for them.
When Yūto received the property deed for the luxurious villa, he was completely stunned.
According to Shingyō Shingyō, the villa originally belonged to an official, but it was confiscated due to his illegal activities.
When the higher-ups learned that Yūto didn't have his own property, they promptly signed the villa over to him as an employee benefit...
The reason for this was to indirectly court the new star genius, Yūto.
Talent is always a target of contention, and Yūto, without the burden of a onmyōji family, had both exceptional strength and talent. The higher-ups naturally wanted to keep him tied to the Unnatural Countermeasures Group.
A luxurious villa was just a trifle for them, and its allure was far less than that of a rare talisman.
As for the "ordinary" Yūto, his mouth was wide open when he received the property deed for the luxurious villa.
If he had to work part-time to buy this villa, it would take at least a hundred years.
But now, with their deep pockets, they gave it to him like a toy without a second thought.
"Damn, if I had known that being an onmyōji was so lucrative, I wouldn't have done part-time jobs before.
And that damn system was just fooling me. What use is being the Lord of Demons when it's clear that being the head of onmyōji is more advantageous?
But it's not too late to realize this, and I can still change my career..."
The Unnatural Countermeasures Group was not located in the bustling city center but in a desolate suburb, and their base was built underground in a high-end manner.
And as Shingyō Shingyō led the way and introduced him, Yūto learned many things he didn't know before.
With the increasing number of "cursed demons," organizations dedicated to eliminating demons were not limited to the Unnatural Countermeasures Group.
The Unnatural Countermeasures Group is an official demon-hunting organization, and besides the Countermeasures Group, there are also the Onmyō Agency and the Exorcist Association.
The Onmyō Agency is also a formal organization, and their demon hunters are called "Fumitsukai."
The difference between the "Onmyō Agency" and the "Countermeasures Group" is that the members of the Onmyō Agency are all traditional onmyōji or descendants of exorcist families, and they are quite排斥那些血统不纯或野路子出身的除灵师。
正因为这个原因,阴阳厅中的人总体上都是各个除灵世家的子弟,保持着相当顽固的“血统论”,最喜欢的就是用鼻子看人。
(注:最后两句话的翻译如下:)
Because of this, the people in the Onmyō Agency are generally the offspring of various exorcist families, maintaining a rather stubborn "bloodline theory," and they are most fond of looking down on others.
