DxD: Building A Demon Clan From Scratch.

Chapter 56: Yuuko Kanoe (BONUS)

"Is this really okay?"

"Letting an ordinary person…?"

Yukino sighed, glancing at Hana, who was chatting and laughing with Miko.

She actually followed along.

She didn't realize the seriousness of the situation at all.

It was as if they were just on an elementary school outing.

"Ordinary person?"

Lynn reminded her, "Aren't you the same?"

Uh…

Yukino blinked.

Indeed… that was true.

Lynn mercilessly added, "The only difference is whether it's one burden or two."

Hmm…

She couldn't refute that…

On the other side, Utaha suddenly spoke up. "By the way, it turns out you guys took the name 'Service Club' ahead of time?"

Yukino: "?"

"Could it be…?"

"That's right." Utaha crossed her arms and continued, "We originally wanted to use that name for this club, but you got it first."

Heh…

So there really was someone else who wanted to use that name.

Yukino silently complained in her heart.

But…

She glanced at the three beautiful girls of the Supernatural Investigation Club, each with their own unique charm, then at Lynn, and said in a subtle tone:

"It certainly would have lived up to the name, Service Club."

Compared to them, her club seemed more like a glorified title.

"Heh, the fact that you thought of that name means your mind isn't pure at all."

As the group stepped into the old school building, a sudden chill swept over them.

Yukino and Yui shivered, rubbing their hands together.

"It feels even colder than when we came here last time."

She couldn't help but glance at Lynn and the others.

Ah…

They seemed completely unaffected.

Not even Hana?

"Eh? What's wrong with you guys?"

Hana walked over, curiosity in her eyes.

"You… don't feel the cold?" Yukino asked hesitantly.

"Hmm…"

Hana thought for a moment, then smiled brightly and said, "Not at all."

"Heh, it seems you're the only ordinary ones here."

Utaha taunted.

Yukino secretly gritted her teeth.

This woman was really venomous.

Lynn ignored the exchange between Utaha and Yukino.

His gaze shifted slightly to the right and landed on Yurikawa Hana.

Utaha and the others might not be able to see it.

But he could.

That life energy was practically overflowing.

Another talent.

Once this matter was settled, he'd have to find a way to bring her into the fold.

Then, he looked back at the school building.

The moment they stepped onto the first floor of the old building, a woman's voice echoed.

She seemed to be complaining about something.

"Why are more and more people coming to the old school building lately?"

"Ah…"

A helpless sigh came from deep inside.

Then, Lynn saw a worn-out chair float up, swaying as it flew toward them.

"It's here!"

Yui exclaimed, quickly covering her mouth, afraid of disturbing whatever it was.

But her body trembled uncontrollably.

A ghost!

It's a ghost!

Yukino stopped arguing with Utaha.

Seeing the same eerie sight as before, her pupils shrank.

Hana, on the other hand, widened her eyes in amazement.

"Wow! That's so cool!"

The terrifying scene left Yukino and Yui speechless.

Only Hana seemed excited, completely unaware of the danger.

But while they found it horrifying, Lynn and the others saw something entirely different.

"Hey!"

A tall, voluptuous beauty with long black hair, fair skin, and narrow eyes floated in the air, struggling to hold up a tattered chair.

She muttered in an exaggerated tone:

"Look, look~! It's a floating chair~! Run away quickly, or the big ghost will eat you~!"

Lynn and the others: "…"

The ghost girl floated there for a while.

Seeing that none of them reacted, she finally sighed and set the chair down, panting.

"Damn, are students these days really this fearless?"

In the blink of an eye, she appeared right in front of them.

"Hey! Why aren't you running?"

She floated in front of Yukino and shouted at her, only to see Yukino staring blankly at the chair she had just put down.

"Strange… why did the chair suddenly stop moving?"

Yuuko Kanoe: "…"

Of course, it's because I got tired!

She sighed. As expected, no one could see her.

But she had to find a way to make them leave.

The big ghost upstairs was too terrifying!

If they barged in, things would turn disastrous.

She subconsciously passed by Hana and stopped in front of Lynn.

Hmm…

That girl's life energy was strong and burning hot.

"Oh? A boy surrounded by girls?"

Yuuko Kanoe teased, then waved a hand in front of his face.

"Can you see me? Can you?"

Nothing.

No reaction.

Alright, he probably couldn't see her either.

Even so, she had to try something.

She had scared off plenty of students lately with supernatural events.

This time, it had to work!

Just as she was about to leave.

Snap.

A broad, warm hand grabbed her wrist.

"Eh?"

Yuuko Kanoe, who had been floating in the air, suddenly froze.

She leaned back slightly, eyes widening in shock.

"This… Miss Ghost?"

Lynn smiled. "Mind telling me what's going on here?"

"You—you—you can see me?!"

Yuuko Kanoe's red eyes widened, filled with surprise and joy.

"Of course."

Lynn nodded and gestured toward Yukino, Yui, and Hana.

"Aside from those three, everyone else here can see you."

The rest were all devils, so naturally, they could perceive her.

Hearing this, Yuuko's pale face lit up with uncontrollable excitement.

Then, she lunged at Lynn, pressing up against him.

She tilted her head up, her eyes sparkling. "Really? Really? Really?"

Lynn looked down slightly.

Her lips were close, almost as if he could feel her breath.

Well, if ghosts even needed to breathe.

"This ghost lady, we can all see you," Utaha stepped forward with a fake smile and casually pulled Yuuko off Lynn.

"Ah~"

Yuuko let out a contented sigh.

Decades.

She had floated here alone for decades.

No one could see her.

And today—

So many people could!

She was overjoyed!

For a moment, she basked in her happiness.

Then, as if suddenly realizing something, her face stiffened.

"Wait! If you could see me this whole time…"

"Then you saw me pretending to be a ghost just now?"

Miko and the others nodded.

"Ugh…"

Yuuko suddenly let out a miserable groan.

"Why didn't anyone stop me?!"
