She clearly liked him terribly, but she didn't even dare to call him.
“Of course, as the Fallen Saint Black Cat, I definitely contact the Demon King every day!” Ruri Gokou retorted stubbornly.
"Is that so?" Hinata Gokou's eyes lit up with a smile. She had seen through her older sister's pretentious act at a glance.
"Hyuga also wants to see the Demon Lord. Can you invite the Demon Lord to our house as a guest, sister?"
Ruri Gokou's eyebrows twitched impatiently as she said, "The Demon King is very busy. He doesn't have time to come to our house as a guest. Let's hurry up and finish shopping so we can go home!"
"Big sister is so amazing! She gets to see the Demon King every day." Tamaki Gokou exclaimed in admiration as she looked at her older sister.
Ruri Gokou blushed immediately upon hearing this. "Stop nagging. Do you still want to buy snacks?"
Hinata covered her mouth and chuckled secretly. It seemed that her older sister hadn't contacted the Demon Lord she mentioned, otherwise her attitude wouldn't be the way it was now.
Ugh, this is really worrying. When will this kind of woman ever find a boyfriend...?
Despite being the younger sister, Hinata Gokou looks at Ruri Gokou as if she were an adult looking at a child who hasn't grown up.
Following behind her sister, Gokou Hinata couldn't help but look over there. Her gaze pierced through the crowd and landed on the man inside, a look of surprise suddenly appearing in her eyes.
The person looked somewhat familiar; she felt as if she had seen him somewhere before.
Oh right, it's on the painting in my sister's room.
“Ruri-nee.” Hinata Gokou tugged at Ruri Gokou’s hand.
"what happened again?"
"The people in there look just like the people you drew in the painting, sister."
"When did you sneak into my room to look at my paintings?!" Gokou Ruri stomped her foot.
"Oh dear, don't worry about such a small thing. It really looks like it, Ruri-nee, look!" Hinata Gokou's face stiffened, and she quickly changed the subject, pointing in that direction.
"Hmph!" Ruri Gokou crossed her arms in front of her and snorted coldly, though it was a bit of a pity that there seemed to be nothing on them.
She turned her head, her long black hair carrying a faint fragrance into the air, her gaze falling on the crowd, and then she suddenly froze.
"Demon... Demon Lord?!" she murmured in disbelief. She would never forget the face beneath Uesugi Kenichi's mask.
"Eh! That's the Demon Lord." Hinata Gokou felt like she had heard something incredible.
She kept jumping around in place, trying to get a better look.
"I want to see too! I want to see too!" Gokou Tama had been hoping for a long time but couldn't see anything, and she was so anxious that she was about to cry. She kept calling out in her childish voice.
"What Demon Lord? No way! Hurry up and get out of here!" Ruri Gokou quickly turned around and covered her burning face.
"I'm not leaving, I want to see the Demon King." Gokou Tamaki tugged at her sister's clothes and shook them.
"Stop nagging!" Ruri Gokou scooped up Tamaki in her arms.
Although she really wanted to see Uesugi Kenichi again, this was all too sudden, and she felt she wasn't ready at all.
"But Ruri-nee, isn't it a problem for the Demon King to be surrounded by so many girls?"
"what!"
Ruri Gokou turned around and saw that the situation was as Hinata had described, and immediately gritted her teeth.
"These wretched and foolish sows! As the most loyal fallen angel of the Demon King, I cannot ignore such a thing!"
Ruri Gokou put Tamaki down and rushed over aggressively.
Chapter 172 Ruri Gokou Activates God Mode
Kenichi Uesugi kept taking photos with the girls around him, his smile looking somewhat stiff.
"Seriously, isn't this over yet?" he grumbled to himself, when suddenly he heard a somewhat familiar voice.
What are you all doing here?!
He looked over at the sound and saw a girl dressed in black gothic clothes with two dark purple roses in her hair barging in.
If he remembered correctly, this girl seemed to be the one named Gokou Ruri whom he had met the night before last.
"Hey, who are you? Isn't that a bit too rude?" Ishihara Yoshiko complained as she was pushed aside by Gokou Ruri who rushed in.
Despite her small stature, Ruri Gokou, with her arms crossed, glanced at Yoshiko Ishihara with an imposing air.
"I am the Fallen Saint Black Cat who serves the Demon King. I am qualified to protect the Demon King's safety. You stupid sow, get out of my way!"
Ruri Gokou glanced at Yoshiko Ishihara with disdain, then narrowed her eyes, seemingly unwilling to look at her any longer.
Miko Ishihara: "!!!"
"What did you say! My name is Ishihara Yoshiko, I have a name, don't call me that, you're the one who should get lost."
"Ha, you dare to call yourself Meizi with this kind of appearance? You really have the nerve to say it. You're really shameless."
Uesugi Kenichi glanced at Gokou Ruri in surprise, not expecting this seemingly well-behaved, chuunibyou girl to be such a sharp-tongued person.
Moreover, her sharp tongue seems to be even more offensive than Kasumigaoka Utaha's; at least Utaha rarely speaks so harshly to girls she doesn't know well.
However, Ruri Gokou's attack was not over yet.
"Even if you wanted to liven things up because there are so many people here, this behavior is far too low. I suggest you call yourself a bug or a slime next time; that would be more appropriate."
Without uttering a single, emotionless word, Gokou Ruri opened her eyes and shifted her gaze to Ishihara Yoshiko.
"You!" Ishihara Yoshiko felt her blood pressure rising as she was subjected to the sharp tongue.
"What do you mean, 'you'? You have no manners at all. Look at your outdated outfit. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were living in the 1990s."
Yoshiko Ishihara immediately took three steps back, cold sweat dripping down her forehead, her mentality completely shattered by the blow.
"Look at your own weird outfit, and you still have the nerve to criticize others? I think the weirdest person here is you." Ishihara Yoshiko's companion stepped forward angrily to chime in.
Upon hearing this, Gokou Ruri looked at her seriously and said, "I can't pretend I didn't hear what you said. I think only a child or a mental patient could say something like that."
"It's laughable that you don't even have the most basic aesthetic sense. No wonder you can become friends with people who seem to be from the 90s. Your performance is just as good."
Ruri Gokou gets a double kill!
However, the girl's arrogant attitude clearly provoked the crowd's anger, and many girls who considered themselves heroes stepped forward to challenge her.
Next, Gokou Ruri entered god mode, engaging in a verbal battle with the scholars, showing no sign of panic in her advances and retreats.
Each girl blushed and her heart raced with youthful energy, and the mountain peaks seemed to have grown two sizes out of thin air.
Hinata, holding Tamaki's forehead, looked at her older sister's incredible power with a bit of exhaustion.
Sister Liuli, you're not here to save the day, you're here to cause trouble!
"Big sister is so amazing! Tamaki wants to be just as amazing as big sister when she grows up." Tamaki clapped her little hands and looked at Gokou Ruri with eyes full of admiration.
"Zhu Xi, listen to me, you can't do what Liu Li does, do you hear me?"
"why?"
Because you won't be able to find a boyfriend...
Kenichi Uesugi, holding Kanna, stared wide-eyed at Ruri Gokou's performance, her mouth slightly agape, as if she too was startled.
"Onii-chan, that older sister is amazing!"
"That's quite impressive."
The Ruri Gokou of this moment is a completely different person compared to the gentle and weak woman she was that night.
"Excuse me, everyone, I have something to attend to and I'll have to take my leave for now. Thank you so much for your support."
Uesugi Kenichi stepped in and stopped Gokou Ruri behind him to smooth things over. If they continued arguing, Gokou Ruri would drive some of them crazy.
Upon hearing this, many girls immediately composed themselves. After seeing Uesugi Kenichi's handsome face, they were initially furious, but now they didn't feel angry at all.
I'm a little embarrassed because I think I was a bit out of line just now.
Before leaving, the girls all glared at Gokou Ruri, who snorted coldly, showing great disdain.
"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to go to school today?" Uesugi Kenichi asked Gokou Ruri curiously.
"I've taken leave. My sisters are on summer vacation, and Mom and Dad aren't here today, so they don't need anyone to take care of them."
Ruri Gokou glanced at Kenji Uesugi, then blushed and lowered her head, whispering, showing none of the imposing manner she had displayed during her debate with the scholars.
At this moment, she realized that she seemed to have done something foolish. She had rushed up without thinking when she saw the Demon King, whom she had been longing for, looking troubled. Now that she had come to her senses, she felt a little devastated.
Oh no, this will definitely leave a very bad impression on the Demon King.
She used to be sharp-tongued, and we were pretty much used to it, not really caring what others thought. But Uesugi Kenichi is different.
Only in front of the Demon King did she not want to leave a bad impression on him.
Thinking about this, she felt so depressed that she was about to cry, and she even wanted to escape from here right now.
"...Sister, is this the Demon King? He's so cool!" Tamaki Gokou ran over and stood in front of Kenichi Uesugi.
"Is this your little sister? She's so cute." Uesugi Kenichi patted Gokou Tamaki's head and smiled.
This little girl is so pretty, she looks like a cute and adorable mascot.
“Yes, this is Tamaki, and that is Hinata,” Gokou Ruri said in a very gentle tone.
"Demon Lord, hug me." Hinata Gokou stretched out her arms and looked up at Kenichi Uesugi with a very cute smile on her face.
Although he was a little bothered by the title "Demon King," Uesugi Kenichi still smiled and picked up Tamaki with his right hand.
"Tamaki, don't do this, you'll cause trouble for others." Ruri Gokou quickly reached out to help Tamaki down.
"I don't want to." Tamaki Gokou wrapped her arms around Kenichi Uesugi's neck. She felt a special warmth towards Kenichi Uesugi and really liked the feeling of being held by him.
"It's alright." Uesugi Kenichi smiled and didn't seem to mind; he genuinely liked children.
"Well done!" Hinata Gokou thought to himself, secretly praising Tamaki's actions.
We can't manage on Liuli's own; we need to help her.
Chapter 173 Losing Yourself
"Hello, my name is Gokou Tamaki. What's your name, sister?" Gokou Tamaki sat on Uesugi Kenichi's arm and looked at Kanna, who was also being held by Uesugi Kenichi, with a smile.
"My name is Connor, nice to meet you," Connor replied with a serene expression.
"I forgot to introduce you. These are my younger brothers and sisters. This is Connor, Keiko, and Souta. Come on, say hello to your older sister."
