As expected, Mokou fell silent. Lancer breathed a sigh of relief. He figured she only liked him because she didn't know him well. Now that she knew about his "messy history," she would surely change her mind.
However, Lancer ignored one thing. While women in any era feel jealousy, ancient women were more accepting of men having multiple wives. Mokou own father had dozens of wives and concubines, and hundreds of women if you counted the dancers. To her, a man as powerful as Lancer having only three "wives" was perfectly normal. She had already mentally prepared for this.
"Lord Lancer... what parts of your wives do you like?"
Lancer couldn't quite put it into words. With Leone, it was the feeling of "home" and her hidden strength beneath her gentleness. With Ryoko, it was her "maternality"—her sacrifice for her daughter and the vulnerability she hid. With Akatsuki, it was her independence.
But to make Mokou see him as a "scumbag," he answered:
"Probably because their chests are quite large?"
The room went silent. Mokou mouth hung open.
"You might find it strange, but it's a male instinct. Oh, Mokou, don't tell anyone else. I only told you because I think of you as a 'little sister'..."
He thought he had succeeded. He had shown his "fickleness" and defined their relationship as "siblings."
However, he forgot that a certain youkai who loved finding his weaknesses was eavesdropping. Hearing that Lancer liked "women with large chests," Yukari blushed and closed her gap, swearing under her breath, "Pervert."
When Lancer left, he felt Yukari was acting strangely, avoiding his gaze. Maybe it's just that time of the month for youkai? He didn't think much of it and went to sleep, satisfied with his mission.
In her room, Mokou sat in a daze. Then:
"Sister Yukari, are you there?"
A gap opened. "Mokou-chan, what is it?"
"Sister Yukari, can you send me to Oni Island?"
When they arrived, they found Yuugi, Kasen, and Suika drinking.
"The Youkai Sage? And Mokou-chan? Huh? Lancer didn't come?" Yuugi greeted them. As she waved, her chest swayed—even bandages couldn't suppress her "lethality."
Mokou expression became subtle. So scary, it would be suffocating.
But her target was Suika Ibuki. Mokou had understood Lancer hint, but... she didn't want to give up! She needed a consultant.
Yukari, Eirin, Yuugi—all were disqualified. Their "lethality" was too high; they wouldn't understand her problem. Kasen and Kaguya were average, but she had a better option: Suika Ibuki!
Suika was hundreds of years old but had a flat chest just like her. Surely she had the experience to give practical advice!
As her "bloodline" awakened, Mokou was becoming more proactive. Her suppressed nature was beginning to show.
