Chapter 223 - Chapter 223 Magnanimous Asuna

"Come on, my head!"

Yusei looked at Tohru with a face full of exasperation, really wanting to say that. But Tohru meant well, and she finally seemed to be acting like a proper maid.

So, Yusei lightly coughed, "That won't be necessary. I can go to the toilet myself."

Tohru quickly stopped Yusei, shaking her head, "How can that be? Yusei, you must have been exhausted yesterday. You need proper rest. Hurry up and lie down."

Yusei smiled wryly, getting out of bed despite Tohru's protests, "I'm really fine. You should rest properly. You must have been exhausted too yesterday, and you were injured. Just rest today. No need to do the maid work, we'll order takeout."

Tohru looked at Yusei with tearful eyes... and nodded very happily.

"Yusei is so good to me."

Yusei felt a bit awkward. After all, just yesterday, they were in a life-or-death battle, but today, she was like this. One had to admit, dragon girls were very simple.

Whoever was good to them, they would be good to in return.

But now that Tohru was obedient, Yusei felt quite relieved.

'It seemed household chores and such would be taken care of from now on.'

Tohru was now sleeping in Yusei's room. Yusei, yawning, planned to go to Shiro's room and make do by sleeping a bit more with her.

'Maybe that little girl was already awake?'

But just then, his phone rang. The ringtone coming from his room was very familiar.

Returning to the room, he motioned for Tohru, who was trying to get up, to stay put. Yusei took the phone and went out, telling Tohru to rest properly.

Sitting on the living room sofa, he saw the caller ID was Kaguya. He answered directly.

"Good morning, Kaguya."

"Good morning..." Kaguya's tone sounded a bit unnatural, and Yusei keenly noticed this.

"What's wrong? You sound a bit strange."

"I was just about to talk to you about that. Actually, this morning, Hayasaka came and told me that the violin master we invited for the violin performance suddenly contacted her."

"And that maestro specifically requested to meet the young master of the Shinomiya Family."

At this point, Kaguya's tone became even more peculiar, "The main thing is, she said that you, this young master, know fortune-telling, and that you predicted something accurately. She wants to ask you how to avert a disaster."

"Huh? I know fortune-telling?" Yusei blinked, also stunned.

"Yeah. How come I didn't know you could tell fortunes? Why haven't you told mine or Asuna's fortunes?" Kaguya teased.

"Anyway, do you have time to come over today? To the Shinomiya House. That violin master is insisting on waiting at my door to see you. We can't just chase her away, right? If you have time, come over and send her on her way," Kaguya said somewhat helplessly.

"Alright then." Regarding this, Yusei could only decide to go see what was going on first before making a decision.

Having said that, Yusei was about to hang up.

But he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Kaguya, don't we have school today? I feel like I haven't been to class for several days."

"Missing Asuna?"

"Well, I am a bit."

"How awful. Talking to your fiancée on the phone saying you miss your girlfriend, really." Kaguya sighed.

Yusei laughed, "If you couldn't accept it, you wouldn't have brought up 'Asuna' yourself."

Hearing Yusei's words from the other end of the phone, Kaguya's expression stiffened. He was right, and her thoughts were exactly as Yusei said.

"I'm really completely at the mercy of you, you scumbag."

Kaguya said helplessly.

"Let's shelve that topic for later. So, do we have school today?"

Hearing this, Yusei glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already 10 a.m. The morning was almost over.

"Of course it's a school day."

Yusei's face changed, but before he could say anything, Kaguya added, "Don't worry. After the intense battle you went through yesterday, I've already asked for leave on your behalf. I told Asuna about it too."

"Huh? Asuna?"

"Hehe, Asuna is right next to me. Want to talk to her?" Kaguya's laughing voice faded slightly.

Then, Yusei heard a familiar and pleasant voice.

"Yusei-kun, are you feeling better now?"

Asuna's gentle voice was filled with concern, instantly warming Yusei's heart.

"Ah, I'm fine. I've pretty much recovered. I'm full of energy!"

"You've recovered already? Then we should talk about the issue of Yui's guardian." Asuna's voice gradually became flat.

The smile on Yusei's face froze. A bad feeling rose in his heart.

"Guardian?"

"Yes. Since you and Shinomiya Kaguya-san will be legally married in the future, then naturally we must divorce. So, shouldn't we discuss the issue of guardianship for our child, Yui?"

"Asuna, you're joking, right?" Yusei said weakly.

"No, I'm not. I've already prepared the documents. Yui will be in my custody. You just need to sign when the time comes."

Yusei felt extremely anxious and flustered hearing this. But suddenly, he remembered that Asuna was currently using Kaguya's phone. He found it strange.

"Um... Asuna, you... don't want to kill Kaguya? According to a certain school Anime, you should be taking a chainsaw to both me and Kaguya."

"How could I! What kind of person do you think I am?" Asuna sounded somewhat angry.

"That's just the setup in Anime. But of course I know my gentle, lovely Asuna wouldn't do something like that."

Yusei was more or less relieved. He had just panicked initially.

This is Kaguya's phone. Discussing child custody with her Anata using the 'vixen's' phone... This was clearly very not right.

Two possibilities: One, Asuna had already dealt with or 'chainsaw-woman' Kaguya. Two, Asuna and Kaguya's relationship was harmonious.

Judging by the fact that Kaguya could still talk and laugh with him earlier, the situation was clearly the second one.

'Harmonious relationship.'

'Which meant Asuna was... magnanimous.'

But Yusei still felt it was better to probe a bit first.

Yusei lightly coughed and tentatively asked, "Asuna, that... you and Kaguya aren't pulling each other's hair right now, are you?"
