"Okumura-sama, it's nice to finally meet you."
Kouhei's gaze shifted toward the woman who had just stepped forward to greet him.
For a moment, his mind went blank. Her face didn't immediately click. He forced himself to dig through the dozens—no, hundreds—of faces and names he had crammed into his head today. He had been so determined to memorize everyone who attended this gathering, but now all of them seemed to blur together in one overwhelming mess.
Shit… I think I forgot her name. Kouhei thought bitterly. His eyes darted quickly toward Yuuna, but she was busy entertaining another group of high-ranking guests. He was on his own. What the hell am I supposed to do now?
"Fufufufu… you look like you're struggling to remember, Okumura-sama. But you don't have to force it." Her lips curled into a mischievous smile as she gave a graceful curtsy. "I am Sano Yuka, daughter of the previous Demon King."
The name hit him like a snap of lightning.
Ah… right. Sano Yuka.
