Chapter 270: A Deserved Death

And as she was of the oni tribe, actually she also had a similar clairvoyant ability, many things could be seen through at a glance.

But she checked Hikari again and again, yet found it seemed she could not see through him.

On the contrary, it was this male high school student's gaze, as if it could see through her, see through what she looked like under the shrine maiden's outfit.

This kind of feeling made Kaede feel very uncomfortable in her heart, so she felt quite displeased.

And Yukino actually didn't pay much attention to the gaze exchange between the two.

She saw Hikari come over. Then quickly got up, pulling Hikari over.

"Hikari-kun."

"Kaede-chan."

"I'll introduce you two to each other."

Pulling Hikari, Yukino first introduced to him, "Hikari-kun, this is my good friend of the oni tribe, Kaede, now managing a shrine."

"The oni tribe, among many demi-humans and monsters is also a very powerful existence oh, a race possessing strong demon power and monstrous strength."

"And Kiriryuin family's spiritual power, even among the oni tribe is also famously strong oh."

"Because the powerful strength of the Kiriryuin family is passed down generation after generation, but often only inherited by females, so most of them are engaged in hosting festivals, Kagura dance exorcisms, disaster removal and the like," Yukino introduced quite in detail.

And Hikari while listening, also was sizing up this oni tribe big sister named Kaede.

For some reason, he vaguely felt a trace of hostility from her.

This kind of hostility coming from a powerful monster made Hikari still somewhat vigilant.

And then Yukino pulled Hikari's hand, introducing to Kaede, "Kaede-chan, he is called Hikari, a current high school student, also the most outstanding human I've ever seen, the most perfect person in my heart, also the person I love most~"

Speaking to the end, Yukino even gave a 'mua' sound, kissing Hikari on the face.

This enthusiastic affection made Hikari feel a little unaccustomed.

And Kaede at the side seeing the sudden dog food, also awkwardly smiled.

"Hikari-kun, hello," Kaede politely greeted, extending her right hand.

"Kiriryuin-san, hello," Hikari also extended his hand, shook hands with Kaede.

The fair palm was soft as if boneless, but inside vaguely contained a monstrous strength from the oni tribe's talent.

The two politely greeted, touched then separated.

Then… the two stared at each other, speechless.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward for a while.

Because Hikari and Kaede were actually unfamiliar, today was the first meeting.

Moreover one was human, one was monster, their identities had essential differences.

Although both had some words wanting to talk to each other, for now it was not good to be too abrupt.

And as the intermediary, Yukino was not good at socializing, only kept hugging Hikari's arm, sticking her soft delicate body to him.

However although not good at socializing. But Yukino soon noticed the somewhat frozen atmosphere.

After noticing this. She also hurriedly took the initiative to say, "Hikari-kun, Kaede-chan, you sit down first, let's drink some tea together."

Under Yukino's arrangement, the two finally sat down before the tea table.

Yukino and Kaede both following coomon habits, knelt sitting on cushions.

But Hikari was still more used to sitting, so directly sat down.

And perhaps because the two girls were also not human, but monsters, they actually didn't mind anything.

However when Kaede knelt down, the fullness wrapped tightly by the shrine maiden outfit trembled shakily, still quite eye-catching.

Just as they sat down, the two unfamiliar people also didn't immediately talk. Instead both talked with Yukino.

And after exchanging a few words with Yukino. Kaede finally couldn't hold back, actively shifted the topic to Hikari.

She proactively asked Hikari, "Hikari-kun, are you still a student?"

Hikari nodded, "Mm, yes."

Hearing this, Kaede looked at Yukino with a strange expression, as if complaining that she was an old cow eating tender grass.

But Yukino clearly didn't mind at all, instead hugged Hikari's arm regardless of others, gently rubbed, making Kaede feel somewhat awkward.

And while responding to Yukino, Hikari also politely asked Kaede, "Kiriryuin-san, you rarely come to human society right?"

Kaede nodded, "Yes, after all our oni tribe is not quite the same as Yukino-chan's kind of snow woman, the horns on the head are still relatively obvious. So, when we go out we generally use some illusion technique, then deliberately avoid humans."

"Hikari-kun, do you often see monsters?"

Hikari shook his head, "Actually no."

Hikari although answered truthfully, but didn't tell Kaede, she was actually the second monster he had seen, still hid something.

And next, the two took turns asking and answering, understanding each other.

The awkward atmosphere slightly eased.

Kaede took the initiative to chat with Hikari, seemingly had some plan.

And Hikari was also quite interested in the world of monsters and demi-humans, so also kept probing to get information from Kaede's mouth.

The more the two talked the more engaged they became, making the not good at socializing Yukino somewhat surprised, sometimes couldn't even insert a word. And after chatting continuously for seven or eight minutes.

Suddenly, Kaede's expression sank, asked Hikari, "Hikari-kun, I want to ask you one thing, is it okay?"

Hikari slightly nodded, "Okay."

Kaede quickly asked, "Hikari-kun, do you still remember the original one at Asou Apartment, called Manager Takahashi?"

When asking this question, Kaede stared tightly at Hikari's eyes.

That serious look made Hikari immediately understand.

Kaede's previous questions, those chats, were all to relax his guard, ease the atmosphere.

Now this question, was what she really wanted to ask.

Thinking of what Yukino had told him online before, that Kaede seemed to have had a good relationship with the previous Manager Takahashi.

Hikari instantly figured it out, this oni tribe big sister seemed to have come with ill intent.

But Hikari had no intention of hiding anything.

Facing Kaede's scarlet beautiful eyes staring at him, Hikari calmly answered, "Takahashi? I remember, what's wrong?"

After getting Hikari's affirmative answer, Kaede as if prepared, immediately followed up, "Hikari-kun, you, why did you kill Manager Takahashi?"

"In your human society, killing people, this kind of thing, is illegal, very serious right?"

Kaede at this time didn't ask whether it was Hikari who killed Takahashi, but directly asked why he killed, obviously knew quite a lot already.

And listening to Kaede's questioning tone like demanding justice.

Hikari stared straight at her gaze, showed no sign of backing down.

Just calmly replied, "Although I don't know Kiriryuin-san, why you suddenly bring up that despicable guy. But, seeing that you are Yukino-chan's friend, I'll make it clear to you."

"Takahashi that guy at the time wanted to use a hypnosis ring to hypnotize Yukino-chan, then take the opportunity to forcibly carry out some extremely vile act. What exact act, you should be able to imagine right?"

"And this kind of act, is something I can't tolerate."

Hearing Hikari's words, Kaede who was originally prepared to seize the opportunity to find fault, immediately had her breath catch.

Obviously, although she wanted to defend Takahashi, she also knew in this matter Takahashi was clearly at fault.

But thinking of the little boy who called her sister more than ten years ago, Kaede still couldn't help but say, "Although Takahashi indeed was possessed, very sorry to Yukino-chan. But…but he didn't succeed, and, this isn't a crime worthy of death right?"

Hearing this, Hikari expressionlessly glanced at Kaede, calmly said, "Not worthy of death? No, deserves to die."

"You!", Hearing Hikari's blunt tone, Kaede who had a pretty good impression of Takahashi immediately got angry, couldn't help slapping the table and standing up.

"You guy, too much! According to your human society's law, Takahashi's fault simply wouldn't be a death penalty right?"

"And, do you know Takahashi was one of the few people I knew in human society, when I was little I met him several times?", Kaede was so angry her chest violently heaved, the fair side bust faintly visible from both sleeves couldn't help trembling.

Obviously, she was extremely angry at Hikari's blunt judgment of Takahashi.

And looking at this furious oni tribe, facing this existence quite powerful even in the monster world, Hikari just calmly said, "As for the specifics, I have my own standards of judgment, don't need Kiriryuin-san to point fingers."

"Also your relationship with Takahashi has nothing to do with me, I'm not interested in your matters."

Hearing Hikari's words, Kaede's face flushed red, obviously even angrier.

Because in her ears, Hikari's words were extremely self-centered.

Why should Takahashi's life and death be judged by him alone.

And, he actually in front of her, said she was pointing fingers, and was not interested in her matters, this kind of completely not giving face words.

This made Kaede so angry black energy gushed from all over, the oni tribe power almost couldn't be controlled.

After all, you must know the oni tribe in monsters were extremely powerful.

So Kaede usually even in the monster world, facing other powerful monsters, those guys would be very polite to her, even respectful, after all she was the Kiriryuin family's young lady.

But Hikari, a mere weak human, someone she could crush with one finger. Actually dared to be so powerless towards her, so provocative towards her as an oni tribe, simply didn't know what was good for him.

And in Kaede's view, Hikari as a human yet not afraid of her, probably was relying on his relationship with Yukino.

So he would be so presumptuous.

If not for this relationship, she really wouldn't tolerate a mere human being so rude to her.

Although she could still barely endure the anger and impulse to act, Kaede still couldn't help but gritted her teeth and angrily said to Hikari, "You human, really so rude! If not for Yukino-chan's sake, I would have beaten you down long ago."

And hearing this, facing this angry all over black energy gushing, looking extremely creepy powerful oni tribe.

Hikari just lightly took a sip of tea, lightly laughed, "You can try."

After hearing Kaede asking about Takahashi's matter repeatedly, Hikari understood her intention.

Kaede seemed to have a good impression of Takahashi, even had some feelings, so after knowing it was he who killed Takahashi, then was quite disgusted with him.

This was also why at the first meeting, although Kaede didn't show it outwardly, but he still could feel this oni tribe big sister had a vague hostility.

And the cautious Hikari, actually before coming this time, after knowing the oni tribe's strength was not weak, had already made preparations to act.

And after meeting felt Kaede's hostility, especially Kaede repeatedly questioning because of Takahashi's matter.

Hikari also clearly knew, today if they didn't fight, probably this matter wouldn't be resolved.

But already prepared Hikari was not flustered.
