Oni no Ou to Chigire - Chapter 8 Pg 146, 147, 148

It wasnt just me, he deceived the instructor from the main household, the other demon masters, even the head of household. But, yesterday, we were suddenly summoned to the main household

Yatos true form had somehow been exposed to the main household, and since Yato was stronger than the current head of households demon servant, he was told he would have to follow the traditions of the Yase family, and become the next head of household. He told him his troubles one after the other.

Aah, that must be why your dog suspected I told the main household earlier, huh. Ill tell you this now, I didnt say anything to anyone.

Hoshiai said convincingly as he rolled up the sleeve of his shirt, exposing his arm from the elbow down. There were bandages wrapped around most of it, with a brownish red color soaking through here and there. It wasnt just his arm, his cheek and forehead were covered in something like scratches, Tokimori wondered about them since he saw them, but he figured they probably came from his work, so he didnt ask. Even Tokimori couldnt answer if anyone had asked him about his demon master jobs.

When your dog came to the threaten me, I was in the middle of a job. He was a pretty formidable demon, and thats why Im in this pitiful state. I didnt have the energy to pick a fight with the Yase family. Well, theres no point in me exposing or tattling on anyone. You dont plan on becoming the head of household then? Your dog has quite a lot of power. Hes totally attached to you on top of that. He listens to your commands.

Tokimori frowned.

I absolutely wont become head of household. I dont want to, I dont think I could. Im sure you know, Hoshiai-san, about the jobs the Yase family takes on.

Well, yeah.

The jobs I do as a demon master are all small, easy ones. I dont want to order my demon to harm people physically, take lives, or anything like that. Having to arrange for the rewards demons desiretheres no way I could do that. I wouldnt be able to bear it

You say small, but if its a request the Yase family was paid big bucks for, even your jobs could harm someone. If its your fault they make a mistake in their work, they may be at the end of their rope mentally, and will choose suicide, are you saying that has nothing to do with you?

Completely at a loss, Tokimori lowered his head. He was taught demon masters shouldnt think about the results brought on by their jobs. However, he had been doing these jobs for six years now. Even though he tried not to think about it, he couldnt help thinking about it. Certainly there have been people whose lives became a disaster, thrown into chaos, by something he did. However, the Yase family with their support from Japan since ancient times, believe their conclusion of, the happiness of many, outweighs the misfortune of the few, was the right thing, and was told he used demons to help make the world a better place. If he didnt think about it that way, he wouldnt be able to do his next job.

The ceiling suddenly creaked, dust falling here and there. Perhaps realizing Yato was angry he made Tokimori feel bad, and was trying to destroy the apartment, Hoshiai apologized.

sorry. Theres no point in blaming only you for that.

No, its true. Even if I say I dont want to work as a demon master, I dont have the courage to defy the main household.

Theyre not a family you could hide something like rebellion from. So why dont you become head of household and destroy the whole Yase family? Demon slayers would fully support that.

Impossible!

Why? You have the strongest demon. Even if the Yase family gathered all of their contracted demon servants, theyd be no match for your dog. Ah, if youre going to destroy them though, I guess you wouldnt need to bother with becoming head of household.

Well, I meanI cant.
