507 The Handsome Guy Ploy?

The hotel is not far from here, and we'll reach our destination quickly.

After parking the car, the driver got out and opened the door to let Shuya and others get out.

Knowing that Yuigahama wasn't used to this kind of attire, Shuya reached out to help her out of the car before she got out.

"Thank you, thank you."

Yuigahama her thanks, placing her soft little hand on Shuya's hand, which was even whiter than hers, and using his support, she landed steadily on the ground.

Her pupils reflected the scene at that moment:

Behind Shuya was a magnificent hotel, she arrived in a super luxury car, and was helped out by a world-famous Ming Dynasty and a super handsome man.

In that instant, Yuigahama had the illusion that she was the female lead in some idol drama.

"You are welcome."

Shuya habitually flashed a professional smile, Yuigahama's face turned bright red, her heart pounding wildly.

"Ha, you're a sucker for good looks."

In this exciting moment, Hikigaya spoke in the voice that Yuigahama had heard.

Yuigahama looked into his dead fish eyes, and in an instant, all her senses vanished.

"Disgusting, go to hell!"

She and he were about to argue again, but Yukino stopped them.

"Don't argue in a place like this, or you'll be in trouble if you get refused entry."

"..."

"Snort!"

The two managed to quiet down.

The group entered the hotel and took the elevator up.

The elevator is transparent, offering views of Tokyo Bay.

Before long, we arrived at the top floor.

Before me was a bar occupying the entire floor, with soft lighting, and a blonde woman from out of town playing jazz piano on the central stage.

The music flowed gently, softly complementing the dazzling night view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

This bar has a very upscale atmosphere.

"Um?"

As Shuya was idly looking around, he noticed someone approaching.

He asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

The newcomer was a handsome young man, Monster that Shuya was very familiar with...

With a respectful smile, Tamamo Ren bowed and said, "Welcome, Alliance Leader."

"Hmm? This is your property?"

Shuya, and Yukino instantly raised an eyebrow, giving him a smug look.

---I told you, the Kawasaki Saki incident was definitely related to you, wasn't it?

That's what she meant.

Tamamo Ren, unaware of Yukino's thoughts, lowered her head and answered Shuya, "This place doesn't entirely belong to me, but it's still part of my property. When the Alliance Leader's husband... Miss Yukino asked us to investigate, we also looked into the reason."

"Knowing that the Alliance Leader was coming today, I came here specifically to receive him."

He was given a thoughtful look by Yukino, so he changed his mind halfway through.

From the heart.

He could defeat her, but in the eyes of these Monsters, Yukino would be the Alliance Leader's wife sooner or later, and he dared not offend her.

Yukino realized why Tamamo Ren was being so respectful, and her smug expression vanished instantly.

She wanted to say something sarcastic to Xiu Shuya, but remembering where she was, she didn't say anything and just wrote it down in her notebook.

Is Kawasaki Saki there now?

Shuya asked.

Tamamo Ren gave an affirmative answer.

Shuya smiled slightly, hooked his arm around Tamamo Ren's shoulder, and turned his head to say:

"Okay! You guys go ahead, Yukino- chan. I'll have a few drinks with him. Let's go!"

He pushed Tamamo Ren into a corner of the bar.

"... Huh?!"

Yuigahama's eyes widened.

Hikigaya's lips twitched. "Heh."

He had hardly ever met anyone lazier than him.

Yukino made another note in her notebook and said, "Let's go in."

His tone was icy cold.

They easily spotted Kawasaki Saki at the bar, and the three of them went over to sit down and talk.

Seeing Shuya Yukino ignoring him, Shuya, who was in the corner, leaned back comfortably in his chair.

Tamamo Ren poured him some red wine, and he picked up the glass and took a sip.

Shuya shook his head and said, "Yeah, this must be the 1982 Lafite."

Tamamo Ren smiled and said, "That's right."

That's not actually the case, but Shuya insists that's what it is, and he won't argue with that.

Shuya also knew this wasn't true; it was just a joke.

"I truly admire the Alliance Leader's dedication in working so hard for his classmates."

Tamamo Ren's flattery came out of nowhere.

Shuya waved his hand modestly, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I only did a little bit of work. Besides, for someone like me who is naturally enthusiastic about helping others and has great love for the world, this little thing is nothing."

"The Alliance Leader is so righteous! It's wonderful to be your Alliance Leader!"

Tamamo Ren is highly praised.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Shuya smiled and raised his glass to him.

Hehehehe.

Tamamo Ren smiled and agreed.

The glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound.

This self-proclaimed helpful person watched with relish as Yukino and her friends resolved their classmate's incident, amidst the flattery of their subordinates.

Section 546, Chapter 507: The Beauty Trap?

Shuya admired the beautiful night view, he swirled the wine in his glass.

He was wearing a suit, which made him look even more mature and handsome.

His graceful swirling of the wine glass made the female guests secretly watching him think he was a nobleman who only existed in their fantasies.

... Mainly, he's just too good-looking; everything else is just icing on the cake.

Tamamo Ren was also extremely handsome; just the sight of him and Shuya sitting together made women blush and their hearts race.

"Speaking of which, is there any progress in the investigation of that matter?"

Shuya asked casually, gazing at the night view.

Since he had met Tamamo Ren, he took the opportunity to ask about Puberty Syndrome.

Tamamo Ren lowered her head and said, "I'm truly ashamed, we couldn't find any more information, but..."

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "There's some information that hasn't been confirmed yet."

"Explain."

"Yes, Puberty Syndrome... it seems to be a phenomenon unique to Japan Administrative District."

Tamamo Ren said in a low voice, "We asked demons and monsters in other regions, and they all said they had never heard of Puberty Syndrome."

"Japan really that unlucky?"

Shuya murmured.

To be honest, this kind of regional anomaly is not unprecedented. For example, the Black Death involved not only natural factors but also the presence of supernatural beings.

It was a terrifying regional anomaly.

Therefore, if Puberty Syndrome is indeed something like this, it's not without precedent.

However, Shuya knew the root cause of Puberty Syndrome, which made him ponder the reasons behind it.

Why Japan?

"... This cannot be completely confirmed yet, after all, our power is far from being able to influence the entire world."

Tamamo Ren is cautious and will not draw conclusions based on mere information.

Shuya put the wine glass back on the table and turned to look at him. "What about the intelligence from the Supernatural Bureau? Can you get it?"

"Unlikely. Ever since the Alliance Leader unified the Monster, the Supernatural Bureau has become more and more wary of us each year, unless..."

Tamamo Ren hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Shuya gestured for him to continue.

"Unless the Alliance Leader personally asks the bureau chief's daughter."

"... The charm trap?"

Shuya sighed, thinking of that fervent fangirl; it had been a long time since he'd seen her.

He waved his hand. "Hmph, do you think I'm that kind of person? Would I resort to such methods to achieve my goals?"

"As expected of the Alliance Leader."

Tamamo Ren looked ashamed.

There's really no other way to ask her.

Then Shuya added the same thing.

Tamamo Ren showed no embarrassment, her eyes displaying just the right amount of respect. "Such flexibility and adaptability truly befits the Alliance Leader."

I admire your honesty.

"No, I was just saying what was on my mind."

Shuya smiled.

He raised his glass to him, Tamamo Ren quickly clinked glasses with him.

The human and the demon stared at each other, their smiles revealing a shared admiration for each other's shamelessness.

"It's fortunate that our the Alliance has Monster with a modicum of intelligence like you, otherwise, who knows how chaotic things would have become."

"If it weren't for the Alliance Leader, we would be nothing but a disorganized mess. The Alliance's success today is entirely due to the Alliance Leader."

Shuya and Tamamo Ren exchanged compliments for a while.

After exchanging compliments, Tamamo Ren took this rare opportunity to report on the recent events in the Alliance.

Shuya basically doesn't interfere with the specific operations of the Alliance; his main role is to unite the Monster, and he doesn't need any business acumen.

Therefore, Tamamo Ren only reports important matters and doesn't usually need to make decisions, unless it's something particularly important.
