Oni no Ou to Chigire - Chapter 6 Pg 115

Tokimori had never said anything about it either. Yato looked just like a human, and had five fingers. Even so, he was small and weak. He wondered why he was different from the accepted theory he was taught, but he hesitated mentioning it. He figured Yato wasnt born a small, weak demon because wanted to be. Being a small demon with five fingers beyond his rank didnt inconvenience Tokimori or Yato in any way. Tokimori could even say he preferred Yato with five fingers. During the contract ceremony when he was eight, he brought Yato, who the other demon masters had met, but he also greeted the head of the household with him. Yato clung to Tokimori, and barely spoke, but it wasnt like he hid his hands, so they should have seen them. Even if they had seen them, and just didnt say anything, he figured it was nothing to worry about, and eventually forgot about it. He never thought the head of the household saw only three fingers.

Tokimori, what do you think this means?

I-I dont knowmaybe Yato really does have three fingers, but is showing only me that he has five.

He did his best to guess, but it seemed to be far from the correct answer. Masanori shook his head as if to say that was out of the question, then moved his gaze to Yato next to him.
