Anime Crossover: The people the Saniwa knows are all over Japan

On the surface, the Tei-ya family is an old conglomerate in Japan, holding a pivotal position in the country. However, within upper-class circles, their title of "master of demon slaying" is even more prominent.

The wealthier a family is, the more superstitious they tend to be. Large families with questionable finances often encounter thorny and difficult-to-solve problems, at which point they turn to mysterious exorcists for help.

Therefore, Matoba Seiji, as the head of the Matoba family, became a hot commodity in the eyes of many people. Upon seeing him, many heads of large families would take the initiative to approach him and strike up a conversation.

Those who lack the necessary status can only watch with envy, unable to even become acquainted with the public.

He knew the girl didn't like these kinds of occasions, and she wouldn't have agreed to the invitation if it weren't for accompanying him.

Before the people who were exchanging pleasantries gathered together, he put his hands on Asuka's shoulders and said gently, "Asuka, go to the rest area and have something to eat first."

In social situations like these, Asuka usually doesn't need to do anything; the host and Natori will shield her from these troubles. She accepts the care of her childhood friend with a clear conscience and will reciprocate in other areas where she excels.

Even if they give without expecting anything in return.

"I'm going then, good luck, Seiji!" The little girl made a cheering gesture.

I was itching to pat his head, but since we were in a public place, if I actually did it, the proud kid would probably get angry.

For the sake of the birds, he had no choice but to give up.

Watching her walk away, when the stage turned to face the others, it put on a mask of dignified politeness.

There's no need to waste your emotions and feelings on boring people.

As for the light that followed the bird, he had selectively ignored it.

Hikaru, who had been observing from the sidelines, found it interesting. Before arriving at the Machi family, he was very interested in the head of the Machi family, who always appeared in a mask.

But after getting to know her, the girl he had only vaguely heard of seemed to be more special.

However, Eric didn't know much about Little Bird either. Her information was well protected by the field. All that was known was that she was the number one genius in the demon-slaying world and the most likely to revive it.

However, she herself doesn't seem to realize it, or perhaps she doesn't even know that such a thing exists?

"Hikari... Asahina, why don't you go and explore by yourself?"

The little girl's question interrupted Guang's thoughts, but it wasn't anything important, so he wasn't annoyed.

"If you don't like the little bird's call, just call me by my name."

With the fierce dog protecting its owner no longer around, Guang was finally able to pinch the chubby baby fat he had been longing for.

It feels surprisingly good.

In a very good mood, Hikaru said in a relaxed tone, "It's more fun following Little Flying Bird."

He lowered his voice and whispered in the ear of the bewildered bird, "In my eyes, they are not even as interesting as criminals. At least criminals are purely evil, but even their kindness is hypocritical."

However, due to the demands of my profession, I still have to come into contact with these powerful and influential people.

Asuka, who was eating a small cake and reacting a little slowly, was ambushed. Although she agreed with Hikari's words, she would glare angrily at anyone who pinched her cheek before huffing and puffing out her thoughts.

"Don't pinch me!"

However, the little girl's angry glare was not very effective; the light was not attacked at all, and instead, she seemed more lively than when she was well-behaved.

Well, maybe it's because he's a bad guy.

"Hey, little bird, don't be angry, but you can glare at me a couple more times." Hikaru raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, while muttering incoherent words.

Upon hearing the complete sentence, the bird was stunned and looked somewhat dazed.

She'd glared at so many people and seen all sorts of reactions, but she'd never seen anything like this.

"You...you...you must be a pervert!"

"Huh?" Hikaru looked completely innocent. "Asuka is the first person to say that about me."
