As the next day arrived and finished having breakfast together, Shigure-san and the sisters were about to leave.
But Tsumugi and Yunagi looks reluctant to leave.
"Onii-chan, can we come again?"
Tsumugi asked with her eyes pleading like a puppy.
"Of course. You're always welcome here."
I replied with a smile.
"Yaayy!!! Onii-chan is the best!"
Tsumugi said and jumped excitedly with her hands up in the air.
"Thank you, Onii-san. We had a wonderful time."
Yunagi said with a soft, grateful smile.
"Thank you, everyone. It's been a good gathering."
Shigure-san said and smiled to me and my family. She gathered her adopted-sisters while feeling grateful for the hospitality and the chance to share such a special evening.
I nodded slightly, understanding the unspoken depth of her gratitude.
"I'm glad you three could be here, Shigure-san."
I said to her with a smile.
"Yes. It's an honor for me, Shigure-sama, Tsumugi-chan, Yunagi-chan."
Sakuya-san said to the three with a soft smile and bowed slightly like a perfect maid.
"Yeah. You can oftenly come here again to play, Tsumugi, Yunagi!"
Kulshedra-san said with a motherly smile to the two sisters and tapped their heads affectionately.
".... You're always welcome."
Scathach-sama also said something even though it's short. But at least she gave them a small smile too.
After that, Shigure-san and the sisters got into the car.
"See you later."
"Onii-chan, everyone, bye-bye!"
"See you later, minna-san!"
The three said their farewells and the two sisters waved their hands from the car window.
"Yeah, see you next time."
I said to them with a smile while lightly waving my hand too.
And after that, the car slowly accelerated and they soon left.

After the three sisters left, my family and I gathered in the living room while relaxing.
"What do you think about Shigure-san's proposition last night?"
I asked them about what Shigure-san said last night about trying to control Chubu's underworld.
"I think it's a significant opportunity, Rey-sama. Controlling the Chubu region's supernatural underworld would give us access to many things like information network, and any other things."
Sakuya-san was the first to speak her opinion.
Hmm....
Indeed if we controlled all of Chubu's underworld, then if there's any supernatural anomalies or troubles, we could get the news and information quickly. And by that, before the trouble reach my territory which is Nagano, we can anticipate or handle it before it's too late.
Just like the Stray Devil incident before. I heard from Mephisto-jiisama that the one who found the location of the runaway Stray Devil first was not from the Devil sides. The one who found it first was the Nakiri Family who overseer this region. It's just that because it's the Devil sides trouble, the Nakiri Family choose to sent the news to the Devil sides even though I don't know how they did that. And they even cynically threatened that if the Devils couldn't handle their problem themselves, they'll do it. And because the Devils were basically creatures with high pride, they quickly got hot-blooded and decided to quickly act. And because I was the one from the Devil sides who's closest from the location, they made contact with Mephisto-jiisama, my guardian because I was still minor, to asked if he could clean the trouble. But then eventually I decided to took it myself for learning and experience.
I smiled wryly inside as I remembered that trouble. Because it's kind of funny if I thought about how just a Low-class Stray Devil could make two big sides of Supernaturals tugging each others. And that's not even including another big sides who's usually also involved in evil extermination, the Church with their Exorcists.
Besides network, we could easier get other kind of resources and even allies too.
Scathach-sama then nodded slightly in agreement.
".... That's right. Controlling the network is a big card for successful endeavor. Information or supply oftenly become the key of victory no matter in what situation.... The conquest could be your chances to hone yourself, practice your training results, and experience the real battles too."
She surely said that from the perspective of battle and war just exactly like a Battle Goddess. Even though I know it's also useful for other fields too not only the battlefield.
"It's not just about that. Just like what Shigure said before, it'll bring stability and order to the region. You could make a real difference with that."
Kulshedra-san added while casually snacking.
I'm sure she felt pity for the two Oni-Mikos who lost their own home because of the lawless situation of Chubu's underworld. And I'm sure they're not the only victims impacted by the murky waters in the Chubu's underworld.
It seems the three of them think positive about the idea of controlling Chubu's underworld.
But....
"Yeah.... But the problem is, I'm not even a Youkai, we all not. While Tsumugi and Yunagi are too immature and too lacking in power even if we used them to rally the banner. The youkais, especially the problematic ones will surely won't truly acknowledge us because of that even though we surely could conquer them with our force."
I said my opinion too from my perspective.
If only talk about power and force, surely me and my family are enough to conquer not only the underworld of Chubu but maybe all of Japan's underworld even! Of course there's no way the Supernaturals of Japan including the Gods will silent about that. After all it'll be deemed as an invasion because me and my family are not from Japanese supernatural sides.
"Then what if you just try to find another youkai as the symbol and spearheading the conquest?"
Kulshedra-san said as if it's an easy feat.
"Who? Shigure-san said that there's no more strong youkais who's originally from this Chubu."
I said with a shrug.
Yeah.... There's no more Chubu's strong, original youkais left now. They're all perished together with Togakushi no Kijou their Leader.
And there's no way asking the other Youkai Lords from other regions to do it either because if one of them trying to do that, it'll be deemed as he/she got ambitious and greedy, resulting in other Lords won't get silent if that happens and it'll get bigger and became a full-blown war of youkais. And if that happens, the Five Principal Clans and even the Gods won't be just silently watching either. There's no way they all hoped for that unbalancing situation.
"Then how about myself? After all, you planned to use me, pretending as Kuzuryuu, as the way to secretly promote yourself among the humans, right?"
Kulshedra-san said casually.
"Hm?"
I wondered a bit because it's quite rare for Kulshedra-san to take initiative to do something. After all, she's quite lazy sloth and don't really like something troublesome.
Also, if I truly thought about what she said, Kuzuryuu sometimes seen as a youkai too from what I know. So maybe....
"That's a go-"
".... No. Common humans maybe can be deceived by that, but Supernaturals won't be that easy."
Scathach-sama interrupted me before I finished my words.
"Hmm~.... Maybe you're right. It'll surely be tiring too."
Kulshedra-san said and shrugged her shoulders a bit then she acts like nothing happened and back to casually snacking.
And then I thought what Scathach-sama said was right either. Just with a little bit similarities, maybe the common humans can be easily deceived by some illusion of Nine-headed Water Dragon, but the Supernaturals won't be deceived by that because they can felt the aura or anything like that.
I heard that because of every places have different ley-lines, the auras of Supernaturals were largely similar to the ley-lines auras of their places because the ley-lines were the main source or the spring of supernaturals energy. So they'll surely soon found that the 'Kuzuryuu' was fake because the auras clearly not from around here in Japan.
"Haahh~...."
I sighed deeply at this deadlock.
And I think that we should consider and discuss more about this idea of controlling Chubu's underworld. And I want to ask about Ost-san's opinions too as my other family members.
