Sudden Trouble

After finishing his dinner, Kimihito immediately went to his room. Previously he had intended to go bathe in the hot spring, but Chitose forbade it because the wounds on his body would get worse and take longer to heal if exposed to water. Therefore he was now in his room reading the books that Smith had sent. Besides him, Yuuna was also reading some books that might interest her.

'Ghost encyclopedia?' He thought after seeing the title of one of the books.

Intrigued by it, Kimihito decided to quickly read a book about ghosts. He wondered if Smith had also sent this by coincidence or for some other hidden reason.

Even though Kimihito had higher-order thinking abilities, it was difficult for him to guess the way Smith thought. It's easier to guess what intelligent people are thinking than stupid people. But that doesn't mean she's an idiot because her way of thinking is entirely different, that's all.

Kimihito had read the outlines of all of them, almost all of the books were animal encyclopedias, and a small portion contained rules about demi-humans with humans. It made him think that Smith was really going to make him a host of demi-human.

"Yuuna, I'm going to sleep first." He said, then he started to prepare the futon.

"Ah! Mee too." She also went to sleep because she was getting sleepy.

Seeing Yuuna had finished preparing her futon, Kimihito turned off the room light and immediately got into his own futon. Lying down, he suddenly thought, 'Looks like I've gotten used to this situation.'

"Good night Yuuna."

"Good night too, Kimihito."

It didn't take long for Kimihito to fall asleep because today's training had already exhausted his entire body. Yuuna also immediately fell asleep because she was the person who fell asleep quickly.

6:00 a.m.

In Yuragi-sou's room number 4, two figures slept on one futon like lovers. They both fell asleep hugging each other as if they were warming each other up. Who else would they be if not Kimihito and Yuuna, who were still asleep.

"Nnnmm~"

But it seems this morning is different from yesterday. If previously Kimihito woke up first, a ghost girl seemed to wake up first this time.

"Hmm~ Kimihito? W-why are you sleeping on my futon?!" Yuuna didn't seem to have realized that she was the one actually sleeping on Kimihito's futon.

"Awawawawa~" However, after realizing the actual situation, her face immediately turned red.

"I slept with Kimihito last night?! and… my futon is there?!"

After realizing her mistake, everything around her was instantly enveloped in a mystical light. Yuuna's power only activated at certain times, like when she became embarrassed. But it only lasted for a moment, and at this time, everything around her still looked normal, as well as Kimihito who was still asleep.

"Inhale… exhale… inhale… exhale…."

It seems that Yuuna doesn't fly things around her, including Kimihito. She didn't want to blow everything away with her poltergeist power and wake Kimihto up. Therefore she immediately tried to calm herself down as she had done before.

Once Yuuna managed to calm herself down, she tried to check Kimihito more closely. She wanted to make sure she really didn't disturb his sleep.

'I hope Kimihito doesn't wake up.' She thought as she started to bring her face closer.

"Kimihito? Thank goodness he's not awake yet~" She said softly while feeling relieved.

After making sure not to disturb Kimihito's sleep, Yuuna immediately tidied up her futon and went to the living room. Even so, there was still a slight blush on her cheeks. It was hard for her to forget what had just happened.

Still, in the same room, Kimihito was seen who was still asleep, but that wasn't entirely true.

'Thank goodness I didn't get thrown by her...'

Actually, Kimihito had woken up earlier, but he decided to sleep a little longer since he didn't have anything to do this morning. But before that happened, he felt a force that made him slightly lift into the air, even if only for a moment. There was no need to think hard to guess because he already knew that it was Yuuna's poltergeist power.

"Looks like I'll have to get up soon too." With that, he immediately tidied his futon and went to the bathroom to wash his face.

***

"Th-is it healed?"

Currently, Kimihito is in front of the mirror in the bathroom. He was shocked in disbelief after seeing his entire face completely healed. After the practice duel with Bang, all the wounds on his face disappeared like it was nothing.

Kimihito did not know that the treatment given by Chitose was so effective because, in one night, his wound healed immediately. But it seems Kimihito forgot something else.

'It seems my hunch is telling me something else.' He thought.

"W-wait! But why are the wounds on my body still there?" He muttered after seeing the scars still on his body. He wondered what had happened to him.

'Perhaps...'

Kimihito just remembered that last night Yaya had licked his entire face. She also said that it could help him recover, but he only thought it was a joke considering Yaya's behavior was similar to a cat. But right now, he didn't expect that it would actually heal his wounds.

'Should I ask her- No, it's impossible, right?.' He started thinking about asking her to heal his other wounds.

However, Kimihito didn't ask her to do what he just thought. Yaya is still a middle school girl, and he won't tell her to lick his whole body. Indeed, if Kimihito did that, he would soon be arrested for a case of abuse. He did not want that to happen.

After knowing why all the wounds on his face healed, Kimihito immediately headed to the living room for breakfast. But of course, he wouldn't ask Yaya to heal the wounds on his body.

***

When he entered the room, Kimihito could immediately see that everyone was there.

"Good morning, everyone." He said, greeting all the residents of Yuragi-sou.

"Good morning Kimihito." X5

"It's not unusual to see you up so late." Said Sagiri.

"I slept very well last night."

"Hmm? What's wrong, Yuuna-chan?" Nonko asked suddenly. She felt Yuuna's behavior changed like she was hiding something.

"N-no, I didn't do anything."

"Araa~ Is that so?"

Clack

When they were all having breakfast, the door to the living room suddenly opened and revealed a young woman standing there. Everyone in Yuragi-sou already knew who she was. Including Kimihito, he also knew the young woman's identity.

"Good morning, everyone. It looks like you're all right." Said the young woman.

"And… Kimihito, you also seem to be doing well here?" After seeing the bandages wrapped around his body, the young woman was a bit unsure about Kimihito's condition.

"Smith? Why are you here?"

The identity of the young woman was none other than Smith. She was currently wearing her usual work suit and a pair of sunglasses.

"Actually, I came here to try your cooking ." She said while still feeling annoyed that she wasn't invited here before.

"My cooking? Unfortunately, I'm not the one cooking here."

"Too bad. How about you make me something."

"Hmm... I'll make coffee then." With that, he immediately went to the kitchen.

Everyone there was speechless at Smith's behavior. Chitose as Yuragi-sou's innkeeper, just smiled at Smith's behavior. As long as other people didn't make trouble for Yuragi-sou, she wouldn't mind it. She was also slowly getting used to Smith's behavior, which worried her a little.

Shortly after, Kimihito finished making coffee for her. Even though it was still hot, the impatient Smith took a sip of it. "This is the best coffee I've ever had. Did you use premium coffee grounds?"

"No, it's just instant coffee."

"...Is that true? But it's still the best I've ever tasted."

"So, what's your real reason for being here?" He asked, pretty sure that Smith wasn't here just stopping by to try his homemade food.

"Actually, I wanted to say something to all of you..."

"???" X6 Everyone was immediately confused by Smith, who suddenly became severe.

After drawing all the attention, Smith began to say, "Yuuna Yunohana of the ghost race, you will be immediately arrested for breaking the rules!"
