Bullying is wrong

After the previous day's dinner where Mike had an indirect kiss with both Nozomi and Irina. In the end, Mike couldn't understand Nozomi no matter how much he tried. The parents decided that the children should have a sleepover so, all three slept in the same room. Simply put, Mike is used as a body pillow for both Nozomi and Irina.

Mike is used to being a body pillow because of Gabriel. But Mike usually wakes up in the middle of the night with difficulty in breathing due to his face being buried in Gabriel's breasts or due to Gabriel's moans when her nipple accidentally goes into his mouth. He was glad that he didn't have to go through that in this case. When Mike thought of that, Nozomi and Irina felt a little insulted but couldn't understand why. So, they kept it to themselves. Well, even a loli's intuition is scary.

And the next day, Nozomi and Irina got ready and went to school leaving Mike back at home. But the important incident that happened in the morning was...

"What?!"

Touji shouted in surprise when he received a letter in the morning after the girls went to school. He immediately put on his exorcist clothes and rushed out of the house. He didn't say anything to Mrs.Shidou. It seems that the message from the church about his colleague's death reached him.

Mike went away from the house and called Vasco.

(( Hello, Mike. How's your first day with a family? ))

"Hectic. Anyway, what's on the message sent to Touji Shidou and how did the underworld react to the issue?"

(( The Great King wrote that it was unfortunate but the things might be better this way. It seems that the Belial clan doesn't know the real reason for the 'death'. He wrote that the Belial clan was shocked and also furious at the church for 'killing' her but he assured that he would stop them from attacking the church 'directly'. And as for Touji Shidou, we sent him the exact message you told us to send him. And no one other than the higher officials fo church knows that you executed the mission. Even the great king doesn't know. ))

"Hmm... I see... So, the Great King won't stop the Belial clan if they do anything other than attacking huh. Anyway, gramps, it seems that the Shidou family is neighbors with the Hyoudou family. Both the families had a feast together yesterday along with me."

(( Wait! Are you telling me that... ))

"Yep, I am buddy-buddy with the person who shouldn't know my identity, thanks to a certain old man who pushed me to get along with the person's neighbor family."

(( ...Well, I might have messed up a little bit... I am sorry, I didn't expect that. ))

"Well, don't apologize, Gramps. I had fun yesterday. And I might turn this situation into my favor if everything goes according to my predictions."

(( Always the scheming type, aren't you? I don't know what secret you discovered and I will never ask. But be careful, Mike. ))

"Alright... I will tell you about my adventures with the family some other time. Bye Gramps."

(( I am looking forward to it. Bye Mike ))

And the call ended with that. Mike immediately went to spy on Touji's condition. And Mike found Touji crying while his other team members are consoling him.

"I can't accept this! Why?! Even if it's true, there are other ways!"

He can hear Touji shouting that. Mike understood that he and Masaomi have a really close bond. Mike felt a little guilty about it. Ironically, Mike doesn't know that if Mike isn't present in the world, Touji is the one who will kill Masaomi.

Mike went away from there and kept roaming around the city for a while. He went back to Hyoudou residence for lunch. Mrs.Shidou said that Touji isn't back for lunch and she is worried about him.

But Mike decided to let Touji do whatever he wants. So, he just went to explore the town more. And after a while, Mike found out that it's nearly for Nozomi and Irina to come back from school. He already knows the school address from Miki. So, he went to their school to pick them up. He waited for them at the school gate. The school hours ended and eventually, children came out of school. Mike is waiting for the girls to show up but suddenly someone called out to him.

"Hey, white hair!"

The person is a fat boy of the same age or a year older than Mike. He's surrounded by a bunch of boys of the same age. A typical bully.

"Umm... Do you have anything to do with me?" Mike politely asked.

"Who are you and why are you here?"

"Ah, I am Mike. I am waiting for my friends who study here."

"Who cares about that?!"

'Why did you even ask?' Mike thought of saying it but kept it to himself.

"Anyway, kneel before me."

"Why?"

"I don't like your hair."

'Ah, Bullying...' Mike thought when he heard the fat guy's words. Mike looked around at the other kids who are just ignoring the situation and there don't seem to be any adults nearby.

"Stop looking around, rabbit! Will you kneel or should we make you?!" The fat guy and his goons said with a creepy smile. Mike sighed and started lecturing them.

"Ah, look here, kids. Bullying is wrong. You shouldn't hurt other children. You should be a good boy or else Santa won't give you a present at Christmas!"

There was a moment of silence. And the next moment, the fat guy and his goons burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! He believes in Santa!"

"No, believe me. Santa exists. You just have to stop bullying and become good boys. He will give you presents." Mike tried to explain but the guys didn't stop laughing.

"Hahaha! This guy's a fool! White-haired fool!"

Mike sighed while thinking 'Kids these days won't believe in Santa even if he's true huh... Poor Santa...'

"Look, let's not look for trouble. Just go away and I will let this slide." Mike casually warned the fat guy.

And obviously, this pissed off the fat guy and he tried to punch Mike but Mike simply caught his hand and said "Hey, there are people around us. Let's not cause much trouble."

But the fat guy's goons surrounded Mike. The fat guy is smirking at Mike not knowing what Mike is capable of. But before the goons could make a move, a shout came from far.

"Hubbyyyyy!!"

Nozomi ran towards Mike and hugged him. Irina came behind them. But once the fat guy and the goons saw Nozomi, they froze and instantly backed away from Nozomi and Mike. The fat guy fell on his back and crawled to a distance.

"Uwaaa!! The pink-haired devil!!"

They shouted. But Nozomi didn't care about that and kept hugging make. "Hubby! Are you fine?! Did they do anything to you?"

"Ah no. They tried to bully me but I am strong. So, they couldn't do it." Mike casually replied.

"Oh... then they are dead," Irina commented from the side.

Mike didn't understand the comment but the next moment, he sensed a vast amount of pressure from Nozomi. The bullies tried to run away but Nozomi shouted at them.

"Stop!" And that was enough to stop them.

"Kneel!" And that was enough to make them do a dogeza.

"Any last wishes?!" And that was enough for them to piss their pants.

On the other hand, Mike was completely shocked at the new side of this lovey-dovey girl. The others around were still ignoring the incident but the only difference is that they kept their heads down this time.

"Umm, Nozomi?"

Instantly the pressure disappeared and Nozomi looked at Mike with a bright smile "What is it, Hubby?! Hubby came to pick me up! I am so happy! Hehehe! But..."

She turned to the bullies and unleashed the pressure "You tried to bully my hubby?! You must have thought it would be okay just because hubby is from outside of school, didn't you? Ah, that's right, you don't like peculiar hair. So, you must have insulted Hubby's beautiful hair and tried to bully him because of that just like my case, right?"

Nozomi trampled on the fat guy's head who is still doing a dogeza.

"Umm, Nozomi, isn't that going a bit too far?"

With Mike's statement, the pressure disappeared again and Nozomi looked at Mike.

"Ah, Hubby! No need to show kindness to this filth! If we did, he will just bully some other person when we aren't seeing."

Nozomi turned to the fat guy and the pressure appeared again. "Just like how he tried to hurt Hubby!"

Mike caught Nozomi and dragged away from the fat guy. "Look Nozomi, there are other ways for this."

"Ah, Hubby is hugging me from behind, Hehehe..." Nozomi is in pure bliss.

Mike sighed at Nozomi's expressions and turned to the bullies. "Look. I will stop her. Just go and don't do things like bullying in the future."

But none of the bullies moved an inch. Mike looked at Nozomi "Umm, I think they are waiting for your order."

Nozomi looked at the bullies with pressure "Hey, didn't you hear what my Hubby said? Scram!"

And the area was cleared in an instant. Not only the bullies but also the other students except Irina disappeared from the site. Mike wondered about what Nozomi did to tame them like that.

"Ah, Hubby! Let's talk somewhere else!" Nozomi cheerfully said.

They went far away from the school to a place where no one usually comes.

"So, mind telling me what just happened?" Mike asked curiously.

"Nozomi is considered the queen of the school." Irina is the one who answered.

"Why are they so afraid of her?"

"Because the children in the school aren't a match for her."

"Huh?" Mike didn't understand what Irina was saying.

"Ah, Hubby, the reason is this!" When Nozomi said it, her left arm glowed.

'You've got to be kidding me!' That was the only thought in Mike's mind when he saw the Boosted Gear.
