Chapter 275: You Have Watched too Much Fantasy

"Hikari, you guy must have watched too many of those virtual works made up by you humans, to actually make up so many races yourself, really not easy, huh."

Hearing Kaede's ridicule, Hikari didn't mind, because when he asked the question just now, he had been watching Kaede's expression.

And according to his observation, when he spoke just now, Kaede's expression clearly changed a bit.

Obviously, what he asked was correct.

This oni race onee-san might have some brains, but clearly not a lot, her expressions couldn't be controlled well.

Looking at Kaede's mocking face, Hikari asked again, "Miss Kiriryuin, actually in many aspects, you yokai are very similar to humans, for example, there's also society, there are also groups, and even the existence of students. There should be an academy specially for yokai or demi-humans to attend school, right?"

Hearing Hikari's words, Kaede's beautiful face changed again, but she immediately rebuked Hikari, "Nonsense, don't try to impose your human systems onto us yokai."

"We yokai… don't go to school. We are born knowing everything, you think we yokai still need to be educated like you humans to understand things? Attending school, really funny!"

Although Kaede once again denied it, Hikari still knew from observing the change in her expression that he guessed right.

The reason he suddenly brought up this idea of a yokai academy…

Was because he remembered seeing in some works from his previous life that there were such things as demi-human societies and yokai academies.

There were even topics about yokai declining birthrate and helping yokai and such.

And in this world, the probability of a yokai academy existing was already high, plus Kaede's expression change, Hikari was basically sure his guess was correct.

However, hearing Kaede's words, Hikari still followed along with a smile and said, "Right right right, seeing you, I'm sure you yokai don't need to go to school, and haven't received much education."

Originally, hearing Hikari following her words, Kaede was quite happy.

But seeing Hikari's face looking at her like she's mentally handicapped, she quickly sensed the mocking intent in Hikari.

Kaede's pretty face showed anger, and she asked angrily, "Hikari! Do you still want to make a deal or not? Asking so many long-winded things, what exactly do you want to do?"

"If you want to deal then hurry up, stop asking this and that, and what exactly do you mean by sincerity!"

"Wait, don't be anxious," Hikari raised his hand slightly to signal calm, then formally stated his request, "The deal I want is simple, I hope Miss Kiriryuin can introduce some convenient yokai friends you know to me. Also, please inform me about the location of the yokai academy, and some related information about the yokai world, etc."

Hikari made this request with his own considerations.

After all, yokai are also living beings, they can move around and change at any time.

But places like demi-human academies should be fixed locations, right?

Hikari believed his guess should be right.

It's just that those fixed gathering places of yokai, like demi-human academies or such, were probably similar to the legendary Peach Blossom Spring secret realm, ordinary people without connections might never enter it in their lifetime.

And hearing Hikari's words, Kaede's expression immediately changed, and she scolded coquettishly, "Don't even think about it. You just gave me a broken ring, and it's just for research, and you want to get so much useful information from me, simply dreaming!"

Hearing Kaede's words, Hikari immediately laughed, "Fine, I'm dreaming. Since Miss Kiriryuin disagrees, then we won't trade."

"Anyway, regarding the yokai world, I can just ask Yukino-chan, right?"

Hearing this, Kaede's breathing paused, then a burst of raging anger surged from her chest and spread throughout her body.

Making her flat little stomach feel hot and urgent, her brain also began to heat up.

Just now, Hikari asked her so many things, went off-topic with her for so long, even indirectly extracted a lot of information.

Yet now, right before the actual trade, he throws her away like trash and says he'll ask Yukino instead.

This kind of thing, really made the oni angry.

Kaede was so angry she almost couldn't help but pounce on Hikari and give him a beating.

But just before she made a move… Kaede suddenly realized something, looked at Hikari still sitting on the sofa unmoved, and sneered, "Ask Yukino-chan? Go ahead and ask."

"Yukino-chan is such a shut-in, not good at socializing, using your human words she's a homebody shut-in. Clearly she knows nothing about this, even if you ask her there's no answer, otherwise you wouldn't have come to ask me."

Seeing Kaede react so quickly, Hikari was a bit surprised.

This big-chested, brainless oni girl actually reacted quite fast this time, but Hikari didn't expect such a simple tactic to fool the other party anyway.

He originally just wanted to pull back and forth with Kaede, asking high to settle low.

So Hikari didn't argue with Kaede's words, and instead proactively offered a reduced request, "How about this, I'll lend you the hypnotic ring for research, just for one day, but I can make some compromises on the previous conditions."

"You just need to tell me some things about your yokai world, and introduce a few demi-humans to me."

Hearing Hikari step back, Kaede also sighed in relief, emotions eased a bit.

She didn't know Hikari never intended to stick with the original proposal, thinking she actually persuaded him.

Kaede immediately nodded and said, "Fine, to show sincerity, I can first introduce you to the types of yokai and demi-humans."

"Just like you said, there aren't just snow women and oni, there are also succubi, elves, demons, angels."

"And in addition, there are half-dragons, mermaids, centaurs…"

As Kaede slowly spoke, Hikari also nodded while listening, even took notes with his phone.

Although he already knew some of them, even guessed some, guesses are just guesses, the feeling of confirmation is different.

After listening to Kaede's explanation, Hikari continued asking, "So many kinds, Miss Kiriryuin, as a Miko, besides Yukino-chan, you should also know many other yokai friends, right? Also, the address of the demi-human academy, where exactly is it?"

Hearing Hikari's question, Kaede's red lips curled slightly, sneered, "You want to trade that for just borrowing the ring? Dream on! And you haven't even given me the ring yet."

Hikari touched the faint bulge of the ring in his pants pocket, nodded and promised, "Okay, I'll give you the hypnotic ring tomorrow."

"At that time, Miss Kiriryuin, please tell me the detailed info about the demi-human academy."

Kaede got furious, "I-I-I'm just borrowing the ring to study it! You're not losing anything! Don't ask for too much! At most I'll introduce a few demi-human friends to you tomorrow, it's impossible to tell you the academy's address. That's a secret!"

Seeing Kaede's fair and pretty face flushed red, her sharp oni horns trembling red, Hikari knew she had really been pushed to the limit.

This oni wasn't like Yukino who was not only a snow woman but also a gentle homebody.

The oni race was probably hot-tempered, and Kaede was exactly that, plus her big chest and small brain.

If he pushed further, Kaede would absolutely fly into a rage and call off everything.

Even if she didn't want the ring, she would completely cut ties.

So seeing that she was at her limit, Hikari nodded and agreed.

"Alright, we'll do as Miss Kiriryuin said. Tomorrow I'll lend you the ring for one day. But afterward, you must tell me more about the yokai."

"Fine! Count yourself smart."

Hearing Hikari's words, Kaede, whose ample chest was heaving like a drum from anger, finally calmed a little.

She patted her slightly stifled lofty chest, nearly lashing out in anger.

But then Hikari asked again, "About the demi-human academy, what would it take for you to tell me the address, Miss Kiriryuin?"

Hearing Hikari still pressing about the academy, Kaede sneered, "You keep asking about the academy, looks like you're really interested in it, Hikari-kun."

"What, Yukino-chan the snow woman isn't enough, you want a succubus? Want to get close to more demi-human girls?"

"Tch, Tch, Tch, looks like you tasted sweetness from Yukino-chan, greedy and ignorant human."

"You really don't get it, the greedy swallow the elephant. Just Yukino-chan alone is enough to exhaust you."

"Though Yukino-chan is indeed beautiful, great figure, perfect, but you humans can't handle it, right?"

"After all, she's a snow woman!"

"And you probably can't even satisfy Yukino-chan, yet you want to know more, you really don't care for your life."

Facing Kaede's mockery, Hikari calmly replied, "My relationship with Yukino-chan is very good, Miss Kiriryuin doesn't need to worry."

In the kitchen, Yukino, hearing their conversation, also blushed and poked her head out, saying to Kaede, "Yes, I'm very happy with Hikari-kun, Kaede-chan."

Seeing the couple's mutual affection, Kaede kept sneering.

With a mocking smile on her lips, she said to Hikari, "Hehe, very happy? Very good? I doubt that."

"Hikari-kun, let me be honest with you, it's impossible for humans to satisfy us demi-humans."

"Especially snow women, do you even know how terrifying their constitution is? They rank second only to succubi."

"And you have Yukino-chan, yet still dare boast. I get it, it's probably because Yukino-chan is so gentle…"

"Maybe every time you do it, she lies to you that she's satisfied, that she feels good, right?"

"Hehe, let me tell you the truth, she's lying to you, you pathetic human!"

At the end, Kaede's face turned a little red, but still bore a smug look.

Actually, as a shrine maiden, Kaede didn't want to use such matters to mock Hikari. It was really rude and even involved Yukino.

But being repeatedly provoked by Hikari's words, Kaede was truly furious.

So she couldn't help 'confessing' this to mock Hikari.

Because Kaede had spoken proudly and loudly, Yukino in the kitchen also heard it. She had just finished washing dishes and was cutting fruit. Upon hearing it, her pretty face turned red, and she almost cut her hand.

Kaede's words made her utterly speechless.

Yukino never expected Kaede to say such things.

It wasn't the bluntness or awkwardness.

The key was, why did Kaede describe her as so strong? It was so embarrassing.

Yukino knew best. In front of the powerful Hikari, she was honestly a bit helpless.

Even though she was gifted, she couldn't handle it alone.

Especially recently, just her alone couldn't withstand Hikari's pounding.

With his increasingly terrifying body and localized strengthening abilities, Yukino basically had to call in Natsuha and others to join the "tutoring class."

So Kaede's triumphant words made Yukino extremely awkward and speechless.

Looking at Kaede's smugly mocking face, Hikari was also a little speechless.

He didn't have the mood to boast either. After all, even if he said it, the other party wouldn't believe it. He only shook his head helplessly and said, "Miss Kiriryuin, you're so irritable. I bet you've never dated, or even interacted with the opposite sex?"

"A virgin yet here you are criticizing a couple. How can you say that with a straight face?"

"You imagine so many things. Are you trying to gather more 'practical materials' for your solo manual sessions at night?"

Hearing Hikari's blank-faced sarcastic retort, Kaede was first stunned.

After thinking a moment, she finally grasped the biting sarcasm and innuendo in Hikari's words.

After understanding, Kaede's beautiful face turned angry again, wanting to retort, but for a moment didn't know what to say.

Because Hikari's words were nasty, but unfortunately they were true.

If someone just makes stuff up, it doesn't hurt.

But when your sore spot is hit, that naturally hurts.

Because lies don't hurt, truth is a sharp knife.

Hearing herself exposed as a virgin yet pointing fingers, Kaede got flustered, pointing with jade fingers at Hikari and yelling, "You... you..."

Before the stammering Kaede could finish, Hikari interrupted, "Enough, Miss Kiriryuin, don't go off-topic."

"What happens between me and Yukino-chan has nothing to do with you. Let's get back to the main subject."

"Just tell me, for the address of the demi-human academy and related info, what price do you want?"

Hearing Hikari's question, returning to her area of expertise, the oni virgin sneered, "Even if I give you the address, it's useless. Without a demi-human like me leading you, you can't get in."

"As for the address, it's not impossible to give you. First lend me the ring to study, I'll see if you're still useful, and then consider continuing the deal."

Kaede had just drawn a pie in the sky.

And hearing this, Hikari shut up.

Because he knew. Kaede had seen that he was interested, and now planned to tightly guard this info.

If he kept asking, it would lead nowhere.

Better to see the situation later, maybe he could fish something out of her mouth with side hints.

If not, it didn't matter.

Anyway, Hikari was adding points every day, and as long as he had enough Pure Love Points, his strength increased quickly.

So even if Kaede kept secrets, he would eventually reach that world.
