Chapter 601: Insects, All of Them Are a Swarm of Insects!
The cousins' argument ultimately turned into laying out futons and sleeping together.
"Setsuna-nee, do you want to join us?"
Jianshan Huangquan thought of something, then looked toward the Cursed Forbidden Way Girl on the other side and asked directly.
"Ah, I'll pass. After all, I'm not your real older sister."
Jino Setsuna hurriedly waved her hand.
"But doing this, it somehow feels like we're forming a little clique and leaving you out all by yourself."
"It's fine. I'm used to sleeping alone anyway."
【Although I really want to go home and sleep holding Younger Sister, it's still not possible now — my strength isn't enough to deal with Father, to deal with the Cursed Forbidden Way.】
"Then alright."
Jianshan Huangquan didn't press further either. After Jino Setsuna returned to her own room, she also led the group back to her own room.
The floor had just been wiped the day before yesterday, spotlessly clean. In the height of summer there was no need to actually lay out futons; sleeping directly on the floor was perfectly fine.
Isayama Meifu was arranged next to Broly.
"Lights out~"
Jianshan Huangquan said a sentence, then turned off the light.
However, the room did not fall into darkness. Through the window with the gauze curtains drawn, a bit of moonlight still filtered in, letting this room sink into a few parts of tranquility.
And it was at this moment that Isayama Meifu finally reacted to the boldness of her own behavior. She shifted her body slightly toward the empty side.
"Cousin, what are you doing? The one who proposed sleeping together was you, yet you're the one moving away from us?"
However, her behavior was discovered by Jianshan Huangquan. The girl had her arm around Tsuchimiya Kagura, and the hand that was getting fired up on top still extended to cover Broly's little belly. She looked at the white-haired girl and raised a question.
"I just wanted to experience the feeling of sleeping with younger brother and younger sister, but currently I still haven't gotten used to the matter of sleeping with others."
Isayama Meifu explained a sentence, thought for a bit, then shifted back again. Her arm touched the boy's arm, but she made no further movements.
"Not used to sleeping with others, huh……"
Hearing this, Broly felt Jianshan Huangquan was going to make trouble.
Sure enough, Jianshan Huangquan directly got up and circled around to Isayama Meifu's side.
"Huangquan, what are you doing?"
"What am I doing? Naturally it's to teach Meifu-nee, this inexperienced person, how to properly co-sleep with cute younger brother and younger sister."
Jianshan Huangquan lay down next to her cousin. A teasing expression appeared on her pretty face. She used her hand to push her own cousin into a side-lying posture, then pressed her body against her cousin's back, squeezing Isayama Meifu toward the boy's direction.
"As an older sister, besides accepting younger sister's back-hugging service, you also have to provide a warm embrace for younger brother and younger sister."
"Ah, no, you……"
Isayama Meifu normally always wears a kimono. Squeezed like this by Jianshan Huangquan, she shifted toward Broly. Due to the wooden floor beneath her, the kimono on her body loosened a bit.
Broly was hit by the white-haired girl carrying the ball. A scent of the same body wash, yet with subtle differences from Jianshan Huangquan and Tsuchimiya Kagura, drifted into his nose.
"Younger brother is meant to be held while sleeping. How does it feel?"
【The boy's breath is warm…… bringing a tingling sensation……】
Isayama Meifu thought this, but her mouth said: "I don't feel anything in particular."
"Eh, really?"
"Do I have a need to deceive you?"
"That's strange. The first time I held Broly to sleep, it felt quite comfortable."
Jianshan Huangquan was a bit puzzled.
"Meifu-nee, could it be you have a frigid constitution?"
Saying this, Jianshan Huangquan's hand stopped behaving.
"Huh?!"
Isayama Meifu exclaimed, subconsciously bending her body.
"So you do have quite a feeling. I get it — you deliberately said you had no feeling."
"I admit there's a little feeling. Stop it."
Isayama Meifu grabbed her cousin's hand making mischief at her chest, face flushed red as she spoke.
Jianshan Huangquan didn't continue further. Letting go, she asked the boy: "Broly, how do you find Meifu-nee's embrace?"
Broly was silent for a moment, then answered: "Meifu-nee's embrace, compared to Huangquan-nee your embrace, is slightly bigger."
"Huh?"
Jianshan Huangquan froze for a moment, then reacted to what the boy meant. She immediately pinched the boy's cheeks.
"I told you to describe the touch, not the size!"
Jianshan Huangquan was a bit angry, but having actually touched just now, she had to admit this wasn't wrong. Compared to her cousin who was one year older, she was indeed slightly smaller, but only by a tiny bit.
"As for feel, Huangquan-nee yours and Meifu-nee's are about the same."
Both are people who frequently train their bodies. In Broly's actual perception, the difference isn't big.
"But Huangquan-nee and Meifu-nee are both very pretty."
Broly detected the hand on his face exerting force, understood this answer hadn't satisfied the girl, and added another sentence.
"Smooth-talking. You'll just say nice-sounding words. You'll definitely deceive many girls in the future."
"But remember: praising girls isn't done the way you praise them."
"If you say someone's pretty, don't say things like 'chest is pretty', understand?"
Jianshan Huangquan spoke, then rubbed his cheeks thoroughly before letting go. Her Happiness Value, however, went up a little.
"Huangquan-nee, you're pretty too!"
Jianshan Huangquan found it somewhat unbearable.
"Broly, you always speak such blunt truths, Big Sis likes you to death. Come, give Big Sis a kiss."
The girl stood up, stepped past her older female cousin, and planted a smack right on the boy's cheek.
Isayama Meifu: "..."
Feeling like with how this younger female cousin is acting now, incest is inevitable sooner or later.
"Broly, do you like big ones?"
"No, I like small ones too."
"But as expected, big ones are still better, hmm, I'll grow big too in the future."
Tsuchimiya Kagura said, touching her chest.
Isayama Meifu: "..."
There's another expert; the ones wanting incest aren't just the younger female cousin alone.
Oh, wait, Tsuchimiya Kagura bears the surname Tsuchimiya, and the Tsuchimiya family and Isayama family have been separated for five generations already; even if Broly isn't an adopted son but the biological son of the uncle, the two of them being together wouldn't count as incest.
【Speaking of which, am I the only relatively normal one, without any incestuous thoughts?】
Finishing the breast discussion topic, Isayama Meifu honestly held the boy and went to sleep, merely thinking silently in her heart.
As for Broly, he didn't refuse Isayama Meifu's embrace either; after all, this was a situation actively guided by Isayama Huangquan, he simply directed his consciousness into the group chat room.
"Sorry, Broly, I'm afraid it'll be even longer before I can come over. There are quite a few Graduated Angels to assess this time, and more importantly, the Chief God has absolutely no intention of leaving the scene, so..."
How should I put it, in terms of being unreliable, Aqua Master's performance has always been reliable.
Of course, this can't be blamed on Aqua Master either; the head of the Heavenly Realm on that world's side places great importance on inspecting new Graduated Angels, and has been watching closely.
This has led to Aqua Master, who often acts as a Slacking Goddess, being unable to perfunctorily muddle through, and instead having to handle matters conscientiously.
"It's fine, Aqua Master, late is late. Anyway, I still have plenty of stay time left on this world's side; it just means my prospective mother-in-law's corpse in this world has to keep floating in the Crystal Palace Space for a while longer."
Broly wasn't anxious; on the contrary, he hoped his own Goddess Master could properly do a good job on the work within the duties of a Female Main God.
"The Fifth Holy Grail Ritual in Fuyuki City has begun, Broly Brother, my Servant is super powerful.
As for opponents, among them there's a fool Master who, because he was dissatisfied with his Servant's abilities, humiliated the Servant, and was counter-killed by his own Servant.
And the Servant who counter-killed the Master was encountered by us; Little Sakura Sister formed a new Contract with her, which means our side has gained another Servant..."
Broly looked at Type-Moon World Illya's message, and felt happy for the girl who is also reviving her mother, at the Holy Grail Ritual's smooth progress.
"Master, the Barrier has been set up completely. With Hercules here, this Holy Grail will surely become our possession."
"Thanks for your hard work, Miss Medea, come eat some fruit."
Type-Moon World, Fuyuki City, Emiya Old Residence. Illya's side, with a configuration that's a bit excessively over-spec, completely lacks the feeling of a dangerous ritual being conducted; a group of Crystal Palace members huddled together, giving off a vacation training camp vibe instead.
"Nine-Tailed Fox, Great Calamity. Isayama Family Head issued an emergency council summons just to tell us this?"
"That's right. This is a great disaster that humanity, this world, is facing once again. We must unite."
The Exorcist Alliance meeting was convened both online and offline. Isayama Naraku, in the conference room, before a group of attending family representatives and the Demon Hunter Family Heads connected via the Internet, gave an affirmative answer, and in his capacity as acting Alliance Leader, called upon these Demon Hunter Family heads.
"Sigh, didn't expect that the Isayama family, who stepped up when the Tsuchimiya family had an incident, would actually be a family of this degree."
However, just as many Demon Hunter Family representatives stared at each other in blank dismay, a representative from a major Demon Hunter Family in Hokkaido sighed and spoke.
"Lord Haito, what do you mean by this?"
"My meaning should be clear. Your Isayama family encountered trouble, you can't solve it yourselves, and you can't get help, so you fabricated a Great Calamity reason, wanting us to send people to assist. Very sorry, Hokkaido also needs Exorcists' protection; please excuse our side from being unable to dispatch personnel to support you."
The mocking voice transmitted through the computer's built-in speakers into the conference room; the eyes of the many attending Demon Hunter Family representatives couldn't help but turn strange.
"Enough, Isayama Family Head. My Isayama Naraku would never do such a thing. The reappearance of the Nine-Tailed Fox Calamity from a thousand years ago is absolutely not something I fabricated for my own sake. This matter, the Ministry of the Environment Supernatural Countermeasures Bureau Tokyo Branch Director Shinguuji can also prove its authenticity."
"Give it a rest, Isayama Family Head. Your family is in Tokyo; I heard your daughter even entered the Tokyo Branch Supernatural Countermeasures Bureau. It's not strange that Director Shinguuji would speak for you. Unless you can produce more evidence to prove the Great Calamity's authenticity, then please excuse me from keeping you company."
"Ninja Spirit..."
"Demon Hunter Families forced to cooperate with strange spiritual bodies — I won't comment on that. But you actually brought it up as an argument; you truly aren't afraid of your family losing face."
"The previous Tsuchimiya Family Head's corpse was seized..."
"Looks like the long-prosperous Tsuchimiya family has also welcomed decline. If they can no longer shoulder the duty of guarding Tokyo's peace, then our family is willing to help out."
The meeting had just begun, and there was no follow-up. Among Demon Hunter Families, especially those from different places, selfish motives are simply too many.
Regarding the Great Calamity Isayama Naraku spoke of, some would rather believe it exists, but more people don't believe it, and the believers, led astray by the non-believers, all feel Isayama Naraku has ulterior motives.
Especially after well-informed people pointed out that Isayama Naraku hired Jubando people as bodyguards, quite a few family representatives chose to wait and see.
As for the Great Calamity matter, unless it truly happens, it's just treated as a piece of news with little authenticity.
As for uniting Demon Hunter Family strength...
"Sorry, Isayama Family Head, my family has some private matters to resolve recently; please excuse me, I'll take my leave!"
"If there's a need, contact us again. If we have spare capacity, our family will definitely help."
A group of people, either not giving face or making excuses, closed online videos those closing online videos, directly stood up and left those standing up and leaving.
Isayama Naraku sat in the main seat, his only remaining hand clenched tight, but also helpless.
If it were just handling the Alliance's daily internal affairs, he could still command the crowd.
But once it involves mobilizing Alliance Demon Hunter Family strength, the Isayama family's prestige isn't enough.
Especially those major Demon Hunter Families garrisoning one region — they fundamentally won't give face to the Isayama family, which is merely a Tsuchimiya family subordinate family.
Probably even if the Tsuchimiya Family Head personally came to initiate this call, there would be people questioning it, let alone him, this acting Alliance Leader.
【Truly a bunch of worms. Fortunately, there are still some insightful people...】
Isayama Naraku looked at the few family representatives who remained sporadically, feeling somewhat comforted in his heart.
"Isayama Family Head, do you have any plans to recruit a Son-in-law by Adoption for your own daughter?"
Then, he heard the Izuna Family Head, Izuna Sadayuki, asking thus from the side.
As the saying goes, the bigger the waves, the more valuable the fish; others fear, I am greedy.
Even if the investment fails, it is merely the loss of a family's not-too-important second son.
Shizuna Sadayuki spoke of the marriage alliance.
"Huangquan is ultimately only your adopted daughter; you want her to inherit the family business, I fear it will attract the relatives' dissatisfaction, but if you recruit my second son to become the Isayama Family's live-in husband, it can greatly eliminate this point of dissatisfaction..."
The Izuna Family also belongs to the Tugong Family Lineage; the biggest reason Isayama Huangquan inheriting the family business would provoke dissatisfaction is because she is an outsider.
But if a marriage alliance can be made with a family of the Tugong Family Lineage, she would naturally be treated as one of their own; as for the current situation of being targeted by a dangerous spirit body, that previously made Shizuna Sadayuki shrink back.
However, this is now not hearing that there is additionally another powerful spirit body helping the Isayama Family, right? So, he has ideas again.
And those who have the same idea as him, wanting to use the family's second son marrying into the Isayama Family as a way to obtain the Isayama Family's future assets, are not few.
Isayama Naraku: "..."
This group of people, not a single good thing, all are a bunch of bastards!
"Huangquan, I never said I would let her inherit the family business."
"Eh?"
"Then who will inherit the Isayama Family business in the future?"
"Cannot disclose, please excuse my farewell."
Isayama Naraku said nothing, directly leaving the conference room in a huff.
In the conference room, only a few family heads with the same thoughts were left facing each other.
"If there is no inheritance right, do we still let our family's children marry in for a marriage alliance?"
Someone asked it out, and an answer quickly came.
"No inheritance right, then marry in for what, alliance for what, isn't deepening relations with other relatives' families fine?"
After Isayama Huangquan this adopted daughter was clearly indicated to have no right to inherit the family business, she was directly treated by these people as an object with no marriage alliance value.
"Truly, the Isayama Family Head also doesn't want the Isayama Family to flow into outsiders' hands."
"If that is said, then that person of the Isayama Family branch..."
This group of people set their sights on Isayama Meifu, while the white-haired girl had already fallen asleep, and because Broly was also transmitting Qi to her, she subconsciously held the boy's head tightly in her embrace.
