Oni no Ou to Chigire - Chapter 2 Pg 58

Since no one other than demon masters were allowed to attend, Katsumoto escorted him to the old mansion without any other family. He wasnt a demon master either, so all he could do was drop him off and pick him up. The ones who received Tokimori at the old mansion were the three demon masters in charge of preparing and overseeing the ceremony. There was a man in his forties, a woman in her thirties, and an eighteen year old young man, who before Tokimori was born, was the youngest demon master. The man in his forties introduced himself as Fujitsugu Yase, the woman as Kiwa Yase, and the young man as Takakage Yase. They were the first demon masters other than himself Tokimori had ever met.

Good afternoon, Tokimori-kun. Starting today, you will be joining us demon masters. Normally, it is customary for the head of the household, Masanori-sama, to witness the ceremony, but he had an urgent job, and was unable to attend at this time. I heard he will be holding an audience with you in Tokyo at a later date.

Fujitsugu said to Tokimori who was standing as still as a statue without a word in his extreme nervousness.

Dont be so tense. My son is the same age as you, Tokimori-kun. Unfortunately, hes not a demon master though. This is the first time Ive heard of an eight year old coming here. Normally, people make their contracts at thirteen or fourteen before they start working. You must get along really well with your demon.

Kiwa gently stroked Tokimoris head as if he were her own child.

Yo, shorty. Im glad to finally have someone beneath me. Since I belong to the Kyushu branch, we probably wont be able to meet much, but since were both youngins, lets be friends. Nice to meet you.
