"Kurenai!" Hearing Kurenai's words, Takeru called out with a darkened expression.
"Onii-chan, I'm sorry, I was wrong!" Sensing the dangerous tone in Takeru's voice, Kurenai quickly changed her expression, flew in front of Takeru, and knelt directly in mid-air.
"This is the last time." Hearing her words, Takeru reached out with both hands, pinching her cheeks between his index fingers and thumbs.
"I know I was wrong. Absolutely... there won't be a next time. I'm sorry..." Feeling the pain on her face, Kurenai quickly spoke.
Hearing her words, Takeru finally released his grip. After several days together, Takeru had come to understand the personalities of Kurenai, Aoko, and Midori. Compared to the gentle Aoko and Midori, Kurenai was much more lively, or rather, mischievous.
These past few days, many had fallen victim to her pranks. She was also quite cunning, never bothering Diablo, Ram, or others of that caliber. Similarly, she wouldn't target Miu and the others.
The former she felt she probably couldn't defeat. Although Kurenai, Aoko, and Midori possessed powerful abilities, perhaps because they were spirits, they were not proficient in offensive magic.
Or perhaps, having been born only a few days ago, they were not yet skilled in controlling their energy. Thus, their combat strength was not particularly high for now, ranking only around the upper-middle among Takeru's servants.
As for Miu and the others, although she could defeat them, they were precious to Takeru, so Kurenai naturally dared not provoke them.
So she picked on Miki, Mjurran, and the like. Of course, her bullying mostly consisted of minor pranks. Upon understanding this, Miki and Mjurran showed no sign of reproach.
Those Kurenai bullied the most were the Pokémon Takeru had manifested. Serperior, Growlithe, and even Houndoom had suffered greatly at her hands.
"So amazing! Is this a spirit?" At this moment, Yui's eyes sparkled as she excitedly approached Kurenai.
"Wahahaha, mere mortal! My name is Kurenai! I permit you to pledge your loyalty! Now, tell me your name!" Seeing Yui's excited expression, Kurenai floated proudly before Yui, hands on her hips, speaking haughtily.
Seeing her like this, Takeru couldn't help but facepalm. These were words she had learned from watching television a few days ago.
"Truly amazing! My name is Hirasawa Yui! You can call me Yui! Please take care of me!" Yui, upon hearing Kurenai's voice, paid no attention to her slightly Chuunibyo demeanor and spoke excitedly.
"Yui, is it? Hmm, I shall remember it. From today, you are my number one servant!" Hearing Yui's words, Kurenai nodded her little head repeatedly.
"Yes, Kurenai-sama! May I hug you?" Hearing Kurenai's words, Yui cooperated quite well and spoke expectantly.
"You have good taste! Then I shall permit you to touch my noble form!" Seeing Yui's cooperation, Kurenai felt immensely satisfied in her vanity and agreed to Yui's request.
Upon hearing this, Yui eagerly cupped Kurenai in her palms and continuously rubbed her cheek against Kurenai's, repeatedly exclaiming, "So cute!"
Seeing Yui and Kurenai on the same wavelength, Takeru smiled and shook his head, saying nothing further.
As for Ui, she watched her sister and Kurenai from the side, hands clasped together beside her cheek, a happy smile on her lips as she also kept murmuring, "So cute."
Whether Ui was referring to Kurenai or Yui, Takeru wasn't sure.
Seeing Yui and Ui's actions, Ram and Rem placed two glasses of milk before them and then returned to the room to await the next guests.
"Sorry for disturbing you!" Less than two minutes later, another voice came from the entrance. Takeru stepped out and saw Yukino and Shizuka. Both were also carrying bags.
"Yukino and Shizuka-sensei, welcome. Please, come in first." Seeing the two, Takeru said directly.
"Yes." Hearing Takeru's words, the two entered. They also prepared to change their shoes, but Takeru directly indicated it wasn't necessary.
Upon entering, they saw Shinka, Yuta, and the others who had arrived earlier.
"Yukino-san, Shizuka-sensei, hello." Seeing Yukino and the others arrive, Shinka and Yuta stood up and spoke.
Kuzuha also looked curiously at Shizuka. She hadn't expected a teacher to participate in the training camp as well.
"Yukino, Shizuka-chan, you're here!" Compared to the somewhat reserved Yuta and Shinka, Yui was much more casual.
Hearing everyone greet them, the two quickly responded.
Afterwards, Yuta introduced his younger sister to them. Since Ui was meeting Shizuka for the first time, she also introduced herself. Looking at the gentle and virtuous Ui, Shizuka marveled.
Then Yukino and Shizuka's gazes fell upon Ram, Rem, and Kurenai. The reason they looked at Ram and Rem was naturally due to the immense energy they contained.
As for Kurenai, she was even more astonishing… besides her vast energy, she was a little spirit-like fairy.
"I'll take you all to the destination first." Looking at Yui and the others, Takeru said directly.
"Sorry for the trouble." Hearing Takeru say this, everyone picked up their bags and stood up.
"Kurenai, are you going back or staying here?" Subsequently, Takeru looked at Kurenai, who had been constantly stroked by Yui.
"I'll go back a bit later." Hearing Takeru's words, Kurenai flew directly out of Yui's hands.
"Don't leave me!" Seeing this, Yui extended her arm towards Kurenai, looking as if she had been abandoned.
"Alright, Nee-chan. You can see her again later." Seeing her sister like this, Ui quickly patted her head and said.
"Alright, everyone, do not resist. We're setting off." As he spoke, Takeru's mana surged, enveloping everyone. Then they vanished from the spot and directly arrived at Monster Island. Here, Emilia, Miki, and Mjurran were waiting for everyone in the living room.
"Welcome!" As Takeru and the others' figures materialized, the three smiled and greeted everyone.
As for Shinka, Shizuka, and the others, who were experiencing teleportation magic for the first time, they took a moment to recover.
However, having experienced the teleportation of the Reincarnation Space, the two soon regained their composure. Kuzuha, experiencing this for the first time, remained in a daze throughout.
"Eh? Onii-chan, Kurenai didn't come back?" At this moment, Midori and Aoko curiously came to Takeru's side and asked.
"Ah, new spirits!" Hearing their voices, Yui's eyes sparkled once more as she looked at them with delight.
"Emilia, Miki, and Ui, I'll leave things here to you for now." Looking at them, Takeru said with a light smile.
"Un, leave it to us. Dear guests, hello. I am Emilia. Nice to meet you all. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me." Hearing Takeru's words, Emilia smiled steadily at Yukino and the others.
Noticing Emilia and the others, Yukino, Shizuka, Yuta, and the others were plunged into immense shock. Looking at Emilia and the others, along with the numerous powerful energy reactions nearby, they stared blankly at Takeru, as if meeting him for the first time.
As for Takeru, after giving brief instructions, he disappeared from the spot. He would leave the rest to everyone.
Returning home, he found Ram and Rem at the genkan. There were already new guests at the entrance.
"Hachiman-san, please come in with your younger sister first. Takeru-sama will return shortly." Looking at Hachiman and Komachi, Ram said directly.
"Eh? You know us?" Upon hearing this, Hachiman was startled.
"Hachiman, Komachi, please come in first." Before Ram and Rem could answer, Takeru appeared at the entrance with a smile and said to the two.
"Takeru, you're back!" Noticing Takeru's figure, Hachiman breathed a sigh of relief.
"Takeru-nii, long time no see! I'll be troubling you for these few days!" Seeing Takeru, Komachi lightly clapped her hands and revealed a sweet smile as she called out.
As for Hachiman beside her, seeing Komachi's smile directed at Takeru, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy.
"Please, help yourselves." As the two entered, Ram brought two glasses of milk for them.
"Thank you! Wow, so delicious!" Komachi politely thanked Ram and Rem first, then took a sip and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Hmph, aren't you making a big deal out of it?" Seeing Komachi's reaction, Hachiman said helplessly.
"Heh, if that's the case, then how about you give yours to Komachi?" Hearing Hachiman's words, Komachi showed her little fangs and smiled.
Hearing Komachi's words, Hachiman rolled his eyes. He could clearly see Komachi was joking, and it would be too rude to do such a thing at a guest's house, so it was naturally impossible.
