Start a Core Pod

“Uncle is really capable of causing trouble, but you don’t know that after you left, the seniors were frightened.”

"Yeah?"

Sitting in the bathtub, Duanmu Huai stretched, while Ju Ruyi, who was curled up in his arms, nodded.

“That’s right, the selection process has obviously been carried out, but now they have to adjust their condition before every competition. Of course, although the seniors are complaining, they still train very hard.”

"As if it has nothing to do with you? You are also a member of the wind band club."

 “I just want to kill time and don’t want to perform on stage at all.”

Tachibana Rui snorted softly. She has always been very Buddhist since she entered the wind band club. Although she is training seriously, it is only to this extent. Tachibana Rui does not seem to be particularly concerned about whether to go to the national competition or not. In other words, she quite likes to be in Group B - for someone like this who is determined to fish to the end, there is really nothing you can do against her.

“Speaking of which, you have saved a lot of money now. Have you ever thought about what you plan to do in the future?”

“Would you like to start investigating the future now? Uncle, please don’t remind me of those nasty things at this time.”

Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, Ju Ruyi's face showed a hint of subtle displeasure.

“There is nothing I can do. Now that I am the head teacher, I still have to conduct three-way interviews. It is almost becoming an occupational disease.”

 Duanmu Huai was enjoying the body heat of the girl in his arms, while also complaining speechlessly. After becoming a class teacher, Duanmu Huai found that it was much more troublesome than being a physical education teacher. First of all, he had to conduct three-way interviews, and then he had to investigate the students' future aspirations and provide guidance for their choices.

 For example, are you going to college, or are you going to work after graduation? To be honest, this experience is really new for Duanmuhuai. After all, you must know that when you are in high school, getting into college is the default main task. Unless your grades are too bad, the teacher will persuade you to quit and take the college entrance examination. If your grades are good, they will basically help you choose a university. .

“I haven’t decided yet, but I should go to college.”

"Oh why?"

“If you go to university, can’t you live alone?”

 “What? Are you still not used to living in your current home?”

“Absolutely. Frankly speaking, I think it’s quite strange.”

 Tachibana Ruyi nodded. Duanmuhuai didn't understand her thoughts. It's okay for a child to be at Tachibana Ruyi's age. It feels so weird to suddenly have to live under the same roof with a complete stranger. Moreover, they were brought in by their mothers. Even if the other party didn't tell them, they would feel like a drag.

 So Tachibana Rui hopes to go out and be independent as soon as possible, but at her current age, living out is obviously not possible. That's why she wanted to go to college and live out there.

“So what university are you going to get into? To be honest, your grades are just okay. It’s not easy to get into a good university.”

“I haven’t thought about it yet. Anyway, I don’t want to go to a local university. I should go to Tokyo. Maybe I can get in touch with Sister Aiko.”

 “My beloved, I don’t know how she is doing now.”

Recalling the hot blonde girl, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh. Since she left, the two of them had completely lost contact, so Duanmu Huai didn't know her current situation.

“I have contacted Sister Aiko before. She is currently studying beauty, and she said she will open her own beauty salon in the future...after all, uncle, you gave her a lot of money.”

 “It’s a pretty good job.”

【Jingle Bell……】

While the two were talking, the cell phone suddenly rang. Tachibana Ruyi stretched out her white arm from the fish tank, took the cell phone next to her and opened it.

"Hello."

　　　…………”

Hearing the voice from the other side, Tachibana Ruyi's expression darkened slightly.

"What's the matter? Dinner? I can just eat outside...you don't have to worry about it."

Looking at Ju Ruyi who was on the phone, Duanmu Huai's eyes lit up, and then he stretched out his hand and stretched it down along the smooth skin.

 “Woo…………!”

 The next moment, Tachibana Ruyi's body suddenly became tense.

"Wait...ah...no, it's nothing, just...wait a moment...!"

As he spoke, Tachibana Ruyi stretched out his hand to hold down the phone, then turned his head and glared at Duanmuhuai dissatisfied. The latter smiled, said nothing, and just nodded his chin at the phone. Tachibana Ruyi glared at Duanmuhuai again, and then picked up the phone again.

“Nothing, I just encountered a wild dog...ah...!"

 At this point, the girl's slender body suddenly trembled.

“No, no, it’s okay. Anyway, I’ll go back in a while. I don’t have to prepare my dinner, that’s it!”

 After saying this, Tachibana Ruyi quickly hung up the phone, and then her tense body softened and she collapsed in the bathtub again.

 “Uncle, you are too bad!”

“Isn’t this exciting? By the way, who called you just now, your boyfriend?”

Although the voice from the other side was not loud, Duanmuhuai still heard that the person calling Tachibana Ruyi was a young man, who should be about the same age as her.

“He is the son of my mother’s remarriage partner, and he is as old as me.”

 “Oh...that guy likes you? So you want to move out?”

 “No.”

Tachibana Ruyi snorted softly.

“It’s just that one of the reasons why I wanted to move out had to do with him.”

 “Huh? What’s the relationship?”

“He likes my sister. When my sister was asleep on the sofa, he wanted to secretly kiss her, and then I saw him.”

　　　………………”

 Hearing Ju Ruyi's answer, Duanmu Huai was speechless.

“First a mistress, now a student? It’s not my fault. I don’t think your sister has any special physique to attract this kind of people.”

 Some women seem to have this tendency. They seem to be quite ordinary people, but they always meet scumbags... Duanmuhuai feels that Tachibana Ruyi's sister also has this attribute. "do not ask me………"

Tachibana Rui also sighed, then stood up and walked out of the bathroom. Apparently, she was also a bit troubled by the troublesome attributes of her sister. Maybe this was the reason why she wanted to move out. As the saying goes, out of sight is out of mind. With the house in such a mess, she didn't want to go back.

 “Then are you worried?”

"I'm sure. Sister Harina just treats him as an ordinary younger brother. She doesn't have any precautions at home. He is a boy in puberty, so I am worried that something will happen."

"Um………"

Hearing Ruyi's answer, Duanmuhuai thought for a moment, then he stretched out his hand and made a stroke where Ruyi couldn't see. Then a light flashed, and then a bottle of Coke appeared in Duanmuhuai's hand.

 “Here, this is for you.”

"What's this?"

Looking at the Coke handed over by Duanmu Huai, Ruyi reached out his hand to take it in confusion.

“Good thing, you just need to let him drink this stuff, and then you will never have to worry about him attacking your sister again.”

　　　　???”

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Ruyi looked confused while holding the Coke in his hand.

“Uncle, what did you give me?”

 “Don’t worry, it will definitely solve your problem.”

Facing Ruyi’s question, Duanmuhuai chuckled, and then patted Ruyi’s head.

 “Okay, it’s almost time to go home.”

After putting Tachibana Rui in the car, Duanmu Huai also went home directly, but he did not go back immediately. Instead, he came to the ruins of the foreign mansion and looked at Mio Naruse who was working hard there.

 “Yo, how’s it going?”

 “Ah, uncle.”

At this moment, Naruse Mio was holding a staff, pointing high into the sky. Then I saw those dilapidated fragments floating up and piled to the side - this was also the training given by Fulian to Naruse Mio, asking her to use her magic to demolish all the ruins of this mansion. Then he piled the scraps next to him and used this method to exercise Naruse Mio's magic control ability.

I have to say that Fulian herself seems quite lazy, and when it comes to educating her disciples, she is like a devil.

 “It’s really boring...”

 Putting down the staff in his hand, Naruse Mio also cried to Duanmu Huai.

“I really didn’t expect that magicians would do this kind of thing. I thought magicians just fight monsters...”

"There are not so many monsters for you to practice with now, but one day I can go to the universe to look for them. If I find a suitable one, it would be good to take you to fight monsters and upgrade."

Since this world has the previous biological civilization, there may also be other cosmic civilizations, and Duanmuhuai naturally doesn't mind wiping them all out.

 After all, for the sake of human safety, it is also important to eliminate all threats in advance.

"Okay, that's it for today. You must have remembered that we have activities in the evening."

 “Woooo…I’m sore all over now and just want to sleep…”

 Hearing Duanmuhuai’s reminder, Naruse Mio looked frustrated. Today Duanmu Huai and others will go to the Demon Realm to attend a banquet, mainly to celebrate Rias' coming of age and her debut in the ranking competition. As a member of Rias' team, Duanmu Huai and others will naturally participate. Naruse Mio originally didn't want to go, but Duanmu Huai told her that now she is a member of the Tribunal, and with the Tribunal's support, she doesn't have to worry about those demons at all. So Naruse Mio could only nod in agreement.

As for why it is at night - the reason is simple. Demons are full of energy at night. Just like vampires, they lose energy during the day. We can't let everyone yawn at the same time.

As the protagonist, Rias naturally took her family to the Demon Realm long ago. After Duanmu Huai came back, she also took the rest of the Tribunal through the teleportation array to the luxurious hotel where the Demon Realm held a banquet. Of course, from the outside, this is similar to a human five-star hotel or something, focusing on luxury and splendor. Of course, for people who live in the space station and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the universe all day long, this kind of scenery is nothing to say. of.

 “Ah, Teacher Duanmu.”

Wearing a suit, Kiba Yuto was standing at the gate. When he saw Duanmu Huai and his party arriving, he hurriedly greeted them.

"You are finally here. Fortunately, the party has not started yet. Please come with me."

 “Where’s Rias?”

"Rias-sama has already gone to say hello to her brother. Oh, by the way, teacher, do you know? Our first opponent is the Sidi family."

 “Oh……Cang Na.”

 Hearing Kiba Yuto’s explanation, Duanmuhuai nodded. He had long known that there were two superior demon families in Kuoh Academy, one was Rias, and the other was Sidi Sona who was the student council president. Duanmu Huai had met the latter several times. She was a girl with short hair, wearing glasses, and looked serious like a good student. She was the same age as Rias, and she was also the sister of another Demon King Leviathan...

 Well, Rias has to participate in ranking competitions when she reaches adulthood, so it is normal for her to do so at about the same time.

The banquet hall was very lively, and the appearance of Duanmu Huai and his group also attracted the attention of many demons. However, for some unknown reason, few demons dared to come and greet them. Duanmu Huai was happy to be quiet at this moment. He also sat at the dining table and feasted - there were demons about the same size as him in the demon world, so he didn't have to worry about having nowhere to sit.

Of course, when it comes to eating, it's natural to drink with a close friend and talk more than half a sentence. Duanmu Huai is not interested in eating alone. The reason why he has such a big appetite is because he just consumed it at Ju Ruyi's place. In addition to the large amount of protein that needs to be supplemented, another reason is that there is someone to eat with you!

 And it was none other than Fulian!

I saw this petite elf sitting opposite Duanmuhuai. The plate in front of me was piled with steaks that were almost as tall as her. Then Fulilian picked up the fork and tasted them one by one - I have to say, this was really delicious. Duanmu Huai was stunned.

After all, when talking about elves, most of the time the impression is that they like to eat fruits and vegetarian food, and basically don't eat meat. But right now, Fulilian is eating enthusiastically, and - you are less than 1.5 meters tall, right? Where did all the food go?

 For Duanmuhuai, this is really a mystery.

 But no matter what, if you have someone to eat with you, you will naturally have a good appetite. Mary, Naruse and Mio have very small appetites. To the extent of ordinary girls, the amount they eat in one meal is just the size of a Duanmuhuai bite, which is not enough to eat at all. Now that Fulilian is so good at eating, she happened to get together with Duanmu Huai, and the two of them were eating at the table, watching next to them...

 “Ugh, I feel full just looking at it.”

Mio Naruse touched her belly, and Mary next to her nodded.

“Yes...it’s not strange that Mr. Duanmu can eat, but it’s too strange that Miss Fulilian can eat so much...and she can still be in such good shape after eating so much..."

 “I heard that it seems difficult for elves to gain weight...”

The two of them were whispering and staring at Fulillian.

How should I put it...it's all envy, jealousy and hatred.
