Oni no Ou to Chigire - Chapter 7 Pg 131

I may have scared you, but I stopped other demons from coming into your home, and would chase away any demons who tried to make a pass at you. If I wasnt there, other demons would have ganged up on an adorable demon master like you, and totally mess you up.

Youre using that as an excuse? Is that why you wont let me talk to any demon other than yourself even now?

I was guarding you. I absolutely wont allow any strange demons to get close to you, or talk to you. Im always protecting you, twenty-four hours a day, whether its morning or night, so you can be safe.

Ever since he was born, Tokimori had encountered countless demons. There were plenty of them that would stare at him as if they wanted to tell him something, but none of them would come close enough to touch or speak to him, so he always thought that was just how demons were, but that also may have been a totally baseless thought.

As you can see, Im a really useful demon. Im extraordinarily powerful. I pride myself on being an impregnable security fortress, and an exceptionally capable demon.

Tokimori listened to Yato sing his own praises dumbfounded, but suddenly confused, he questioned him.

Thats because youre strong now, but as a small demon you were weak. I dont know how many demons tried to make a pass at me, but how was a little demon like you going to chase other demons away? Dont tell me you would go back to your current form over and over again when I wasnt around.
