The distance between the two of them had closed without them realizing it.
Looking at the harmless-looking Hana-hime, Yin Zhu asked one last question: "After Shuten-dōji left the Demon Realm, you should be managing this place, right? Do you really want her to return to the Demon Realm? Being the boss must be more enjoyable than being the second-in-command, right?"
"That's true."
Hua Ji had already floated in front of Yin Zhu. "However, some things are not as I wish to be. Even if I try my best, there are always many unexpected things in this world."
In other words, she admitted to Yin Zhu's guess.

Thank you for thinking so highly of me.
Yin Zhu's back was already sweating.
"So, the only possible problem lies with you, this little brat who came to the demon realm, right? Bamboo Cutter Boy? Or... should I call you human?"
