In the living room!
Iwanaga Kotoko was hanging entirely on Alex, her pretty face slightly flushed as she said: "Ah, this is Mr. Alex's scent."
"..."
Alex's eyelid twitched.
How should I put it.
This feeling is really quite strange.
"Come to think of it, this should be our first time meeting, right?"
Alex said playfully: "About being lovers, why don't I know anything about this?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the Dependents turned from confusion to vigilance.
"Oh my, Miss Liar, sometimes you shouldn't just say things like that..."
Vermouth immediately stepped forward and grabbed Alex's arm.
Hitagi Senjougahara also grabbed the other arm, looking at Iwanaga Kotoko provocatively.
"Let's hear it, Miss Thief, what exactly are your intentions?"
"The two of you, are you both Mr. Alex's girlfriends?"
Seeing all this, Iwanaga Kotoko was a bit shocked.
Then!
She looked at the flock of beauties around her, and she finally came to her senses.
Could it be!
Is this Mr. Alex's harem?
My god.
The intelligence I gathered didn't mention any of this at all.
However.
The man I've set my sights on is someone I cannot let go of, no matter what.
Akemi stared at her, her eyes narrowing slightly: "You need to understand one thing; we are the ones asking you questions right now."
This woman, acting like this even before becoming a Dependent of the Master?
She is definitely not someone to be trifled with.
"And can you get off the Master? Have you not seen a man in eight hundred years?"
Facing Akemi's verbal attack, Iwanaga Kotoko made no other move, only pressing her chest harder against Alex.
"How about it? Isn't having a girlfriend like me nice?"
Her pretty face flushed slightly, but a glimmer of prayer flashed in her eyes.
Before Alex could speak, Vermouth and Hitagi Senjougahara smiled disdainfully, and their arms tightened in unison.
That overflowing fullness, like surging waves, pressed against Alex's arms, making it impossible for him to move.
Even though Iwanaga Kotoko was trying very hard, the gap between the two sides was still too obvious.
Watching this scene, Iwanaga Kotoko froze for a moment.
"Sigh, young girls these days, they really don't know what they're doing."
Itsuki Shima walked over nonchalantly, arms crossed in front of her chest, yet she exuded the demeanor of a powerhouse.
"..."
Iwanaga Kotoko's expression stiffened.
A glimmer of despair welled up in her eyes.
Damn it!
My combat power is barely a B.
But these women are all powerhouses of at least D-rank or higher.
Especially Itsuki Shima.
What did she eat growing up?
"Alright, that's enough out of you all."
At this moment, Alex looked serious and directly scolded: "Behave yourselves."
As soon as his voice fell, all the undercurrents in the room vanished.
However!
The gazes of the group of Dependents remained scrutinizing.
Iwanaga Kotoko could only sit upright obediently, gazing longingly at Alex.
"Come now, explain yourself properly, Miss Kotoko?"
"Mr. Alex actually knows me; as expected of the lover I have set my eyes on."
"Don't change the subject, answer my question."
"Alright."
Iwanaga Kotoko puffed out her cheeks, but still spoke: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Iwanaga Kotoko."
"My profession is the God of Wisdom who resolves disputes for yokai."
"..." × N.
Vermouth and the others exchanged glances, seeing the strangeness in each other's eyes.
A god?
But she feels so weak.
Ignoring these gazes, Iwanaga Kotoko continued:
"Not long ago, I saw the scene where Mr. Alex resolved the Cursed Spirit, and I was deeply attracted."
"Therefore, I fell in love with Mr. Alex at first sight."
A look of happiness appeared on her face.
"Is that so?"
Alex touched his chin and finally shook his head.
Forget it.
Nothing worth thinking about.
Unless it had widespread repercussions.
Otherwise, he didn't have the habit of erasing the memories of passersby.
He gave Iwanaga Kotoko a strange look: "Even so, what's the deal with the wiretap?"
"Hmph hmph, naturally it's because I wanted to understand Mr. Alex better."
Iwanaga Kotoko put her hands on her hips: "But since I've been found out, it doesn't matter."
"Mr. Alex, would you be willing to become my husband?"
Little stars twinkled in her eyes as she stared straight at Alex.
"Of course."
Alex nodded without hesitation.
Meat delivered to my door, it would be a waste not to eat it.
"You agreed so easily?"
Iwanaga Kotoko was a bit surprised.
"When it comes to beautiful girls, I never refuse."
Alex said earnestly: "You completely fit my aesthetic."
"Mr. Alex... you really are a playboy."
Iwanaga Kotoko paused, her cheeks flushing a soft red.
Alex said: "Since you requested it yourself, become my Dependent right here."
"Dependent?"
Iwanaga Kotoko blinked, feeling slightly confused.
Could this be the reason why these women are with Mr. Alex.
However!
What exactly does Dependent mean?
It's really very intriguing.
Sensing Iwanaga Kotoko's thoughts, Alex smiled: "A so-called Dependent is my wife."
"Of course, it also means reincarnating into a demon."
The moment his voice fell.
Alex had already unfurled his demon wings.
Whoosh!
A hurricane howled, and an evil aura enveloped the entire living room.
Iwanaga Kotoko swallowed hard: "Mr. Alex is actually a demon?"
Alex nodded: "Just as you see."
Iwanaga Kotoko turned to look at Vermouth and the others, bewildered: "If that's the case."
"Then what are they?"
"Naturally, they are my Dependents."
"And they are all demons too?"
"That's right." × N.
Vermouth and the others smiled slightly, also revealing their true demon forms.
"..."
Iwanaga Kotoko was a bit stunned at this moment.
As the God of Wisdom, she naturally had a considerable understanding of the supernatural world.
She completely hadn't expected.
That the person she had set her eyes on was actually a demon.
"I actually voluntarily entered a demon's lair."
Iwanaga Kotoko sighed.
Honestly speaking.
She could live in peace with yokai.
As for demons or whatever.
Naturally, she had no prejudice against them.
Alex said warmly: "How is it, do you regret it now?"
"How could that be."
Iwanaga Kotoko shook her head, firmly stating: "Don't think of me as that kind of fickle woman."
"Since I have set my eyes on a man, I will naturally forge ahead."
"However..."
Alex smiled: "If you have any questions, feel free to say them."
"Mmh."
Iwanaga Kotoko hesitated for a moment, then asked.
"If I become a demon, can I still resolve disputes between yokai?"
As her current job, she really liked it.
If she really gave it up for Alex.
She would be quite conflicted.
"Of course you can."
Alex responded seriously: "My Dependents are all free."
"As long as you don't harbor malice toward me, you can do whatever you want."
In that case, that would be great.
Iwanaga Kotoko thought to herself.
Although she was called the God of Wisdom.
In reality, apart from being able to see anomalies and communicate with them, she didn't have any special abilities herself.
If she became a demon.
Perhaps that would change.
But before that.
Iwanaga Kotoko hesitated: "If I become a demon, is it possible that I might become very ugly?"
She had seen those monsters that didn't look like humans at all...
