"Rosary-san, and Miss Murasaki, what are your thoughts on what happened last night?"
"Rosary-san, you can hold your opinion for now. I can roughly guess what you're thinking."
Yukito's gaze swept past Yatsu Murasaki and Rosary beside him. He was now somewhat concerned about Yatsu Murasaki's thoughts.
After all, they had already had such an intimate experience, and their relationship could be considered to have made substantial breakthroughs and progress.
Whether out of possessiveness or purely coveting Yatsu Murasaki's body, Yukito wanted there to be a possibility of continuing a relationship with Yatsu Murasaki.
"Although we haven't known each other for long, I am very fond of Miss Murasaki…"
Yukito turned his body, his gaze firm, and looked directly at Yatsu Murasaki in front of him, taking a deep breath before slowly speaking.
After Yukito transmigrated to this world, he had no mind for anything lewd because he knew that this seemingly peaceful world actually hid many dangers.
It wasn't until he finally managed to activate and bind the system over a year ago, gaining enough strength to barely protect himself, that he had time to think about other things.
He originally wanted to seize this opportunity, thinking that since he had already had such intimate contact and deep communication with Yatsu Murasaki, he might as well confess directly to Yatsu Murasaki, hoping she would agree to be his girlfriend.
But before Yukito could even utter his confession, Yatsu Murasaki seemed to have already sensed it.
"Yukito-kun, please don't tell anyone else what happened yesterday, especially Shiranui-senpai and Yukikaze."
"As for what happened between us, I actually don't dislike doing those intimate things with Yukito-kun. I can feel very comfortable. But we haven't known each other for long, and we're not particularly familiar with each other, so for now, can we just keep things as they are?"
Yatsu Murasaki didn't dislike Yukito. In fact, during those few days at the Anti-Demon Ninja Organization headquarters in Tokyo, she stayed by Yukito's side and developed a vague fondness for him.
Yatsu Murasaki had not had much contact with the opposite sex since childhood, and even fewer after excluding those who were marked as mission targets and colluded with demonic forces.
Yukito was definitely the most handsome and probably the strongest male she had encountered in recent years.
If she and Yukito had known each other longer, and Yukito were a few years older, it's possible she might have fallen for him, and after some time together, they could have become a couple.
As for now, facing Yukito, who was seven or eight years younger and whom she had only recently met, an accidental intimate encounter between them could not make Yatsu Murasaki completely decide to break through their original ordinary friendship with Yukito.
"For now, let's maintain this relationship... And you don't dislike intimate things with me?"
In the room of the tavern, after Yukito heard Yatsu Murasaki's words, he murmured softly, his eyes sparkling with surprise.
If Yatsu Murasaki said that, it meant he would have a chance to get closer to her in the future, and from the sound of it, it seemed that it wasn't impossible for him to continue doing the things that happened in this room last night with Yatsu Murasaki.
"Oh my!"
"This Anti-Demon Ninja lady is quite honest about her desires. But speaking of Anti-Demon Ninja, I did hear some news regarding one."
After the atmosphere between them eased, Rosary looked at the clock on the wall, stretched, and turned to prepare for the tavern's evening business. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something. She stopped, turned her head, and looked at Yukito and Yatsu Murasaki behind her.
"Tonight, at the Underworld Trading Company on the next street, there seems to be a special slave auction. According to the information provided by the auction house—or rather, their deliberate publicity—there seems to be an Anti-Demon Ninja among the slaves captured a few days ago."
"In the eyes of many demons and even some humans, Anti-Demon Ninja are extremely popular, even more so than beast-eared girls or elves!"
Yukito had long heard about slave trading in the Underground Black Market. Most of the slaves sold in such places were educated and trained to please their masters, helping them satisfy their desires.
Upon hearing Rosary mention that an Anti-Demon Ninja would be among the captured slaves at tonight's special auction, Yukito couldn't help but glance at Yatsu Murasaki beside him.
He had only received Asagi's permission to join the Anti-Demon Ninja Organization a few days ago. Although Yukito had seen many members of the Anti-Demon Ninja Organization in various adult anime and doujinshi before transmigrating, the only ones he had truly met and interacted with since coming to this world were Aunt Shiranui Mizuki, Rinko, Yukikaze, and Asagi.
The Anti-Demon Ninja Organization's membership was not limited to just these few people. At least, when Yukito stayed at the Anti-Demon Ninja Organization's Tokyo headquarters a few days ago, he had already encountered many unfamiliar Anti-Demon Ninja older sisters who had never appeared in the adult doujinshi or anime he'd seen before transmigrating.
If any Anti-Demon Ninja had suddenly gone missing or been captured by enemies recently, Yatsu Murasaki and Igawa Sakura should have known about it.
"Are you sure there will be an Anti-Demon Ninja at that Underworld Trading Company's slave auction tonight?"
"As far as I know, there haven't been any cases of an Anti-Demon Ninja disappearing without reason or being captured by enemies recently, unless she doesn't belong to our branch of the Anti-Demon Ninja."
The shadow beneath Yukito's feet wriggled, and Igawa Sakura's figure reappeared in front of him.
Although she had been hidden in the shadow beneath Yukito's feet, she could still perceive what was happening in the outside world. Upon hearing that an Anti-Demon Ninja had been captured and was even going to be auctioned off as a slave, Igawa Sakura's expression instantly became solemn.
"I'm not interested in slave auctions; I just received an invitation from the Underworld Trading Company's auction house some time ago."
"They say it's an Anti-Demon Ninja who was just captured and hasn't undergone any adjustment or education yet."
"If Yukito-chan wants to go take a look, I happen to have an invitation here. Counting the time, it should be starting soon, right?"
Rosary opened the wine cabinet, searched carefully for a while, then took out a golden, somewhat crumpled invitation and handed it to Yukito.
