After knowing the specific situation of Utaha Kasumigaoka, although Yukino Yukinoshita understood Leo's approach, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Does Sacred Gear have the characteristic of preferring women? Or is it women who are beautiful?"

Yukino Yukinoshita is obviously still a little suspicious of the fact that Leo's subordinates are all beautiful girls.

This made Leo's expression look like a smile.

"So, do you think it would be better for me to accept some men as my dependents?"

Hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita spoke out without thinking.

"It's best not to. I don't want this place to become smoky."

The implicit meaning of these words is that once a man joins in, the relationship will definitely be messy.

Yukino Yukinoshita has a tendency to be narcissistic in front of outsiders. She thinks she is cute, which is true, so she has been confessed to by boys since she was a child, and has often caused some troubles.

Asuna Yuuki doesn't know if she has ever encountered something similar, but even Yukino Yukinoshita has to admit that this person's cuteness is not inferior to hers, and she is definitely the best girlfriend candidate in many boys' minds.

If we add Utaha Kasumigaoka, which is the most popular among Sobu High School and Support Group, which is also the largest, Yukino Yukinoshita wants to know what will happen in the future once boys join.

Therefore, Yukino Yukinoshita belongs to the group that opposes boys joining.

"Then you still complain."

Leo rolled his eyes at Yukino Yukinoshita.

"It's understandable that I think so, but you, the master, only accept beautiful female relatives, which makes people suspect that you have selfish desires." Yukino Yukinoshita pointed this out unceremoniously, and then suddenly thought of something, "Having said that, I would like to ask, besides me and Kasumigaoka-senpai, Sobu High School, is there a third Sacred Gear holder?"

"Do you think the Sacred Gear holders are nothing?" Leo curled his lips and said, "There are only a few human beings who can be selected by Sacred Gear. Sobu High School has two Sacred Gear Users, you and Kasumigaoka. It is already full of talents."

The implication is obvious, Leo did not feel the presence of Sacred Gear in anyone other than Yukino Yukinoshita and Utaha Kasumigaoka.

This is either because the Sacred Gear in someone's body is very special and hidden so deeply that even Leo, which has outstanding detection capabilities, could not detect its existence, or there really is no third Sacred Gear holder.

Of course, it is also possible that someone deliberately hides himself. For example, Leo, Yukino Yukinoshita, and Asuna Yuuki all have Sacred Gear in their bodies. After awakening, they control their power and fluctuations, hiding their identity as Sacred Gear User, making it difficult for people to find out.

But this also means that Sacred Gear in someone's body has awakened without Leo's knowledge, and the person has been able to consciously control the power of Sacred Gear to achieve the purpose of hiding himself.

Leo thinks this is unlikely. After all, Sobu High School is his own territory. He is quite concerned about this three-acre area and has always been secretly detecting it. If there is such a suspicious person who has entered the extraordinary world, he should have noticed its existence long ago.

In view of this, Leo is more likely to mean that there is no other Sacred Gear User in Sobu High School. Yukino Yukinoshita and Utaha Kasumigaoka are the only two Sacred Gear User.

"However, not all Sacred Gears are born. Some Sacred Gears may also find a new owner after the original host dies, and then host someone in Sobu High School."

Leo told Yukino Yukinoshita this, which made Yukino Yukinoshita think deeply.

"That is to say, there is no Sacred Gear User besides us now, but there is no guarantee that there won't be in the future, right?"

Yukino Yukinoshita is confirming.

"That's right." Leo nodded and said, "Or, there will be a new Sacred Gear User like Asuna in the future, and it's not necessarily a transfer in the middle."

This requires luck.

Moreover, even if you encounter it, Leo may not like it.

After all, most of the Sacred Gears are not very outstanding, they only have some inconspicuous special abilities. Only a small number of Sacred Gears are considered powerful. However, the more powerful the Sacred Gears are, the rarer they will naturally be, and the rarer the Sacred Gears will be, the harder it will be to suddenly appear. This kind of luck is still a bit unreliable, and Leo does not expect it.

The last time he went on a mission to annihilate a Stray Devil, he ran into Asuna Yuuki who had the rare and powerful Sacred Gear. This was already considered bad luck to Leo, and he didn't think he would have such good luck again.

"In a nutshell, excellent family members are still rare. We can catch one by one. It would be a real pity if they let them go."

Leo Although he could not yet confirm what Sacred Gear was in Utaha Kasumigaoka's body, after his investigation over the past two years, he could be sure that it was definitely not some shabby stuff.

Judging from the Sacred Gear fluctuations that he can detect from time to time, the worst is a Sacred Gear that can be used in actual combat. It may even be the same as Asuna Yuuki's "Sword Birth", the top Sacred Gear besides Longinus.

As for whether it is Longinus...Leo, I am not sure, but I think the possibility is very small.

Because when the fluctuation of Sacred Gear was the strongest, it was at the level of the top Sacred Gear, which was still far behind the level of Longinus.

Unless a large part of the fluctuation of this artifact is hidden and has not been detected by himself, the possibility of Kasumigaoka Shiyu being the holder of the Divine Destruction Gear is not to say infinitely close to zero, but it is not far off.

Leo does not expect that he can win a special prize like Longinus holder. He only hopes that he can win a first prize that is not much worse than Asuna Yuuki.

This hope is high, especially after Evil Piece of Leo reacted to Utaha Kasumigaoka.

"Which chess pieces reacted to senior sister?"

Yukino Yukinoshita seemed to be thinking of Leo, so I couldn't help but ask.

Leo doesn't hide this either.

""Castle", "Bishop", "Pawn" and..." Queen"."

As soon as these words came out, Yukino Yukinoshita's expression suddenly changed slightly.

"Even the "Queen" chess piece reacted?"

Doesn't that mean that Utaha Kasumigaoka has the potential to become Leo's deputy and lead them all?

"It's just a weak reaction." Leo looked at Yukino Yukinoshita's slightly changed expression, and suddenly laughed and said, "Didn't you also make the "Queen" chess piece react at that time?"

When it comes to triggering Evil Piece's reaction, Yukino Yukinoshita is really exaggerating. After all, she made all Evil Piece react at that time.

"What was the biggest reaction?"

Yukino Yukinoshita continued to ask while relaxing his face.

Leo spit out a word.

""Castle"."

After Utaha Kasumigaoka visited the manor, Yukino Yukinoshita stood up and took this senior to carry out Devil's work.

Asuna Yuuki is just a newbie in this field, so Leo asked Yukino Yukinoshita to take Utaha Kasumigaoka to visit her work.

Yukino Yukinoshita acted as if she had objections to Utaha Kasumigaoka's joining, but after learning all about the situation from Leo, she also acquiesced to Leo's approach and was willing to cooperate with him.

So, under the leadership of Yukino Yukinoshita, Utaha Kasumigaoka experienced the magic square jump for the first time, went to the summoner's home, and visited Yukino Yukinoshita's work of Devil.

This visit lasted until late at night.

When Yukino Yukinoshita returned to the manor with Utaha Kasumigaoka, Utaha Kasumigaoka's eyes were full of exhaustion and sleepiness, but there was also a look of satisfaction.

"It's quite interesting, Devil's job."

As soon as Utaha Kasumigaoka came back, he expressed his feelings in front of Leo.

"I thought Devil's work would be more evil and terrifying like what appears in movies and TV shows, but it turns out... it feels like the nature of Yorozuya is similar?"

Yukino Yukinoshita took Utaha Kasumigaoka to fulfill three wishes in total, which were to help someone repair a broken roof, drive away harmful beasts, and treat the illness of the other person's child.

This is indeed much more normal than Utaha Kasumigaoka imagined. At least it is not as scary as the general public thinks. It seems that making a deal with Devil is an unforgivable sin.

"There are also people who don't mind fulfilling the evil and terrifying wishes you mentioned, senior sister?" Leo asked Asuna Yuuki to pour a cup of tea for Utaha Kasumigaoka to refresh himself., then smiled and said, "There is actually not much difference between Devil and human beings in nature. Some human beings are doing serious work that contributes to society, and some are doing work that is harmful to nature and evil behind the scenes."

"The same is true for Devil. Some people don't care about the nature of their work for performance and status. As long as someone makes a wish and the other party can afford the price, they will complete it without any scruples."

"But there are also people like us who are very picky about the content of their wishes and the character of the person making the wish. If someone with bad morals summons us, then not only will we not be able to fulfill the other person's wish, but we may even do justice to God."

"Of course, this kind of thing is not very advocated in the Devil industry."

Leo explained the stakes, making Utaha Kasumigaoka look at him deeply.

"You are sincere, Devil-kun."

Utaha Kasumigaoka looked like a smile but not a smile.

"That's all it is. It can't be said to be sincere."

Leo looked unconcerned.

"In this case, I have no reason to hesitate." Utaha Kasumigaoka seemed to have made a decision, looking directly at Leo, and said, "Reincarnated Devil, I agree to this."

Hearing this, Leo smiled and stretched out one of his hands towards Utaha Kasumigaoka.

"Welcome to join."
