Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

He must be some kind of demon king who came to save me because he couldn't bear to see his followers suffer.

Yes, that must be the case!

Ruri Gokou became more and more certain of her guess as she thought about it, and looked at Kenichi Uesugi with stars in her eyes.

"Aren't you afraid of me?" Uesugi Kenichi turned to look at the girl who was staring at him with curious eyes and asked.

This girl is indeed a bit abnormal. Even if a normal person were rescued, they would not show any fear after witnessing the way he dealt with those people. Instead, their eyes would be filled with intense curiosity.

"I am not afraid, my Demon King. I, the Fallen Saint Black Cat, will swear to protect you to the death and offer you everything I have."

Kenichi Uesugi clenched his right fist and slapped his left palm, suddenly realizing what was going on.

Turns out, he's just a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer!

He looked at the girl's demeanor and realized that he wouldn't believe she wasn't just a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur).

Kenichi Uesugi's gaze fell on the girl.

She had long, black hair with neatly trimmed bangs, snow-white skin, slender and delicate eyes, and a striking beauty mark under her left eye that added a touch of allure to the young woman.

She was wearing a strange black gothic-style long dress, like a cosplay outfit of some anime character, and judging from her age, she was probably a junior high school student or a first-year high school student.

Overall, it has a very Japanese-style beautiful girl feel.

"I'm not some Demon Lord, and don't call me that," Uesugi Kenichi said irritably. Such a title was just too embarrassing.

"No, you are my Demon King, you will light my way forward."

"Speak like a human." Uesugi Kenichi tapped the girl's smooth breasts, causing her to crouch down and cover her head in defense.

"Thank you for taking me home." Ruri Gokou touched her forehead and sniffed.

Don't cry, don't cry, this is a blessing from the Demon King.

"Isn't it better to talk like this? My name is Uesugi Kenichi. What's your name? And why aren't you home yet, so late?"

"Black Cat."

Gokou Ruri subconsciously replied, but when she looked up slightly at Uesugi Kenichi's somewhat unfriendly gaze, she immediately covered her forehead and changed her words, 1.8 "Gokou Ruri".

"I work at the bookstore up ahead. Today, I took the shortcut because I wanted to get home quickly. I never expected this to happen. If the Demon Lord hadn't appeared in time, things would have been really bad."

Ruri Gokou answered honestly.

"Ruri Gokou? That's a very nice name."

Uesugi Kenichi spoke his mind honestly, saying that he felt the name sounded nice and had a lot of charm in Chinese.

amount……

When Gokou Ruri heard Uesugi Kenichi's praise, her pretty face flushed red, her heart pounding like a deer, and she even wanted to use her temper to cover up her inner panic.

If it were someone else, he might have already lost his temper, but when facing Uesugi Kenichi, he seemed unable to even utter a few harsh words.

Chapter 151 The Demeanor of a Big Sister

To hide her unease, Gokou Ruri quickly changed the subject, "What is that Demon Lord doing here so late? Is he trying to save some unfortunate girls like me? How noble, as expected of the Demon Lord."

"No, you're overthinking it. I'm just here to investigate some things," Uesugi Ken retorted without changing his expression.

"What is it? Do you need my help? I work here often, so I might have some information you'd like to know."

Kenichi Uesugi thought for a moment, then took out his phone and found a photo of Keiko Kagura. "Have you seen this girl in the photo before?"

Ruri Gokou took the phone and glanced at the girl in the photo.

A very pretty little girl.

This was her first impression.

She thought for a moment, then shook her head and handed the phone back to Uesugi Kenichi. "I don't remember it. I probably haven't seen it before."

"Hmm." Uesugi Kenichi wasn't disappointed. He had only tried it as a last resort and hadn't had high hopes.

As I walked along the road, only the sound of my footsteps echoed.

"Who is she? What happened to her?"

"My sister is missing, and I'm looking for her."

"Huh?! How could this be?" Ruri Gokou exclaimed in surprise. The girl in the photo didn't look much older than her sister.

She would be extremely worried if her sister went missing.

Ruri Gokou was about to ask more questions, but then fell silent.

The Demon King must be in a very bad mood right now. If I keep asking him questions, it might make him even more anxious.

“This is it.” Ruri Gokou stopped and pointed to a courtyard-style cottage on the right.

She bowed deeply to Uesugi Kenichi. "Thank you so much for today. I don't know how to repay you. Could you please tell me your contact information?"

"It's nothing, it's not a big deal, you don't need to worry about it."

"No, if you hadn't appeared, I might have ended my life by killing myself. You saved my life, so please give me a chance to express my gratitude. Otherwise, I might never have peace of mind for the rest of my life."

Ruri Gokou looked at Kenichi Uesugi, her face full of pleading.

“Alright then.” Uesugi Kenichi hesitated for a moment before giving his phone number to Gokou Ruri.

"Goodbye then. Don't walk alone in the alley so late next time. You won't always be as lucky as you were today."

Uesugi Kenichi gave a word of caution, saying that if he hadn't happened to see it today, one can imagine what would have happened.

Those people won't even face any punishment afterward.

"I understand." Ruri Gokou felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this, and she looked up at Kenichi Uesugi with some expectation.

"May I see what you look like?"

Uesugi Kenichi was taken aback when he heard this, and then realized that he was still wearing a mask, so he took it off.

After all, it's not something shameful, and he believed the girl wouldn't tell anyone about what happened tonight.

This is the intuition that his super intuition brings him.

Ruri Gokou was completely stunned when she saw Kenichi Uesugi take off his mask.

This……

That's so cool...

She had never seen such a handsome boy before.

Even though the surrounding light was dim and it wasn't very clear, it seemed to add to the mystery.

She had previously imagined what Uesugi Kenichi would look like; judging from his eyes, she felt he would be a very handsome person.

But she really didn't expect it to look this good.

How can there be such a handsome boy?

Ruri Gokou stared at her intently, unable to help but think to herself.

When she came to her senses, she realized that she had just lost her composure, and her face turned even redder. The beauty mark under her eye made her look even more beautiful, like a blooming poppy.

As for Uesugi Kenichi, he was already used to it; almost every woman who saw him would have her eyes linger on his face.

"Now that you're home, I'll head back first." Uesugi Kenichi waved his hand, put his mask back on, and disappeared into the night.

"Goodbye, I hope to see you soon, my Demon Lord."

Ruri Gokou watched Uesugi Kenichi's departing figure with eyes full of reluctance, her purple eyes rippling like spring water.

As I opened the door and returned home, two inquiring voices came from inside.

"Sister, is that you who's back?"

Upon hearing the sound, Gokou Ruri immediately turned on the light and felt a warmth in her heart when she saw her two younger sisters hiding behind the door and looking over.

"Hinata, Tamaki, your big sister is back." Ruri Gokou felt a pang of sadness when she saw her two younger sisters. She went over and hugged them, tears streaming down her face.

Because her parents often travel for work, she usually takes care of her two younger sisters at home, which makes the sisters have a very good relationship.

The saying "an elder sister is like a mother" perfectly describes this situation.

If it weren't for meeting Uesugi Kenichi, we might never have seen them again today.

"Ruri-nee, why are you back so late today? Hinata was so worried about you." Hinata looked at Gokou Ruri with eyes full of concern.

His sister came home much later than usual today, and it was so late that he couldn't help but worry.

"There was a slight accident, but my sister is fine."

To avoid worrying her younger sister, Ruri Gokou didn't tell her the truth.

"Smack, don't cry, big sister, Tamaki is a good girl." Tamaki kissed her respected big sister on the cheek as she watched her tears flow.

"You brat, you're even comforting your older sister now, all that drool." Gokou Ruri paused for a moment, then burst into laughter through her tears and ruffled Tamaki's hair vigorously.

Why are you still up so late?!

After calming down for a while, Gokou Ruri realized that it was already so late and these two little devils were still awake. Were they going to rebel?

"Sister, have you forgotten that tomorrow is Saturday? You don't have to go to school." Hinata said calmly, though her hands were trembling slightly, unlike her composed expression.

"Huh? Is that so?" Ruri Gokou pursed her lips and pondered for a moment.

"No, even if tomorrow is Saturday, you should all get some sleep!"

dong dong!

Ruri Gokou struck each of her two younger sisters once, displaying the commanding presence of the eldest sister!

Chapter 152 You must be happy!

"I was just worried about you," Hinata Gokou retorted, somewhat unconvinced.

"How dare you talk back!"

"Let's go to sleep now."

Seeing her older sister's anger, Hinata Gokou quickly pulled Tamaki and ran towards the room.

After taking a bath, Gokou Ruri returned to her room and had just lain down when she noticed that her two younger sisters were still awake, staring at her with worried eyes.

"What's wrong? Can't you sleep?" Gokou Ruri sat up a little and helped them tidy up the blankets.
