The unspoken rule among all the yanderes around Yusuke was that whenever a new one joined, she had to work together with the others to ensure that every piece of media or information related to him remained hidden. If anything about him ever leaked onto the internet, they were responsible for tracking it down and deleting it as quickly as possible.
Quietly and without Yusuke ever knowing, a vast network of hundreds of thousands of people, most of them men, worked around the clock to track down every post, image, or video about him on the internet. Any trace of his existence that surfaced online was swiftly found and erased before it could spread.
Unfortunately, while the yanderes' efforts were immense, if not downright terrifying, they were not infallible. There were still ways for images of Yusuke to leak to people with very high status. After all, if they truly wanted to prevent any information about him from ever circulating, they would have to lock him away somewhere completely isolated, like a dark basement, and cut off his limbs.
Everyone in the Underworld knew who Roygun Belphegor was. She was the second ranked competitor in the Rating Games and was widely considered the third strongest woman in the world. Although she was only an Ultimate Class Devil, her strength had already reached the level of a Satan Class Devil.
She was the role model for female Devils throughout the Underworld. Many women saw her as the most realistic ideal they could aspire to become in the future. Compared to Serafall, who was already a Satan, and Grayfia, who was the wife of the strongest Satan, Roygun had earned her power, fame, and reputation entirely through the Rating Games. Countless Devils had watched her climb one step at a time until she reached the very pinnacle, making them believe that they, too, had a chance to achieve the same heights.
The number of fans she had was tremendous, and her fame and influence throughout the Underworld were immense.
Roygun Belphegor was a member of the Extra Demon House of Belphegor.
[Author's note: The Extra Demons are the houses of top-class Devils who are not a part of the 72 Pillars. Currently, most of the Extra Demons have secluded themselves from Devil society, not wanting to involve themselves with the government. There are 10 houses. Source: Wiki.]
At one point in her life, she had served as the head of the House. However, because she wanted to participate in the Rating Games so badly, she cut ties with her household in order to compete.
"My lady, this is all the information we have collected about him."
Stepping into the room, a beautiful woman dressed in a butler suit walked forward with a stack of papers held between her arms. She crossed the room and stopped beside Roygun Belphegor before respectfully handing them over.
Roygun Belphegor was a remarkably beautiful woman. Despite being centuries old, she looked as though she were still in her twenties. She had long, silky light pink hair, two elegant devil horns protruding from her head, and a pair of glowing golden eyes that carried both dignity and authority.
She accepted the stack of papers from the butler. Without a single word needing to be exchanged, the butler quietly turned around and left the room with light steps, careful not to disturb her mistress.
Roygun was someone who enjoyed fighting, and she especially loved the Rating Games. For someone like her, who had lived for so long with few forms of entertainment beyond seeking out thrilling battles, the Rating Games had become a major part of her life. She could literally do anything if it meant being able to participate in the Rating Games.
She had recently heard about a human who was unbelievably strong. Someone so powerful that he could defeat an Ultimate Class Devil as if he were merely playing with a child. Someone strong enough to fight both Loki and Fenrir at the same time while still holding the upper hand.
The news immediately excited her. She ordered her subordinates to gather every piece of information they could find about him. She wanted to learn more about this mysterious man and, if possible, find him and have a proper fight. Maybe they could even become friends, and whenever she grew bored, she could seek him out for another fight.
"Yusuke Aoki, 17 years old."
Roygun Belphegor slowly opened the first folder and began reading the first page, which contained his name and age. As her gaze shifted to the small photograph in the corner of the page, her eyes suddenly widened. Her pupils dilated. Her slightly parted lips froze in place.
The curtains, which had been swaying gently in the wind, seemed to become perfectly still.
Roygun's breathing stopped.
It was as though time itself had come to a standstill.
Thud!
The stack of papers slipped from Roygun's hands and scattered across the floor. A gust of wind swept through the room, sending several sheets fluttering into the air.
Roygun slowly raised a hand to her chest, her fingers pressing against her racing heart as she whispered in a trembling voice, "W what... is this... feeling?"
...
"Onee-sama." Koneko took a step forward and stopped in front of Yusuke, glaring at her older sister with a cold expression and a deep frown.
In the past, Koneko harbored deep resentment toward her sister. However, after accepting her own power and realizing that it did not turn her into an evil, mindless monster intoxicated by her own strength, she began to think that there might have been more to the story behind why her older sister had killed their previous master.
She shared her opinion with Yusuke, and he encouraged her to talk to her sister when the opportunity arose and resolve their problems in a civilized manner instead of adding unnecessary drama to their lives. That was exactly what she had tried to do when she met her sister, Kuroka, back when she arrived at the park with Vali.
Unfortunately, Kuroka had been so captivated by Yusuke that the conversation never went the way Koneko had hoped.
Adding to that, Kuroka turned out to be working with Vali, who was now a member of the Khaos Brigade. They were the ones who had led Loki to attack the Three Factions and had been plotting something when they kidnapped Fenrir. Because of all that, Koneko became increasingly wary of her older sister.
"Yusuke-chan, Shirone, did you miss onee-chan, nya~!" Kuroka twisted her body as she stood up. She was wearing a black off shoulder kimono that exposed her slender shoulders and more than half of her large funbags.
"No," Yusuke and Koneko replied at the same time with blank expressions.
"Damn, that hurts right here in my meow meow." Kuroka clutched her chest and stumbled back a step.
"Why did you come here? Shouldn't you be hiding somewhere? You know I should be capturing you right now and handing you over to the authorities, right?" Yusuke scratched the back of his head before asking, "In the first place, how did you get in?"
He was really curious about how she had entered his house. This was the place where he lived with the women he loved, so it was naturally surrounded and reinforced by a large number of barriers. It should have been extremely difficult for anyone to enter without alerting him.
Yet this black cat had somehow managed to do exactly that.
'It seems that I need to work on it again.'
Yusuke thought that he needed to improve his barrier skills in the future. He then activated Analysis and scanned her.
He had actually wanted to use it on her back when she and Arthur took Fenrir away. Unfortunately, it seemed that Analysis could only be used when the target was directly in front of him, not when they were appearing through a screen.

'Another one.' Yusuke wasn't surprised at all. He had already gotten that feeling the first time he saw her. Now, with Analysis, he had confirmed it.
At this point, he was so used to this that he would never be surprised by another yandere appearing before him. In fact, he would probably be more surprised if a woman he met wasn't a yandere than if she was.
[Ding! New Quest!]
[Ordering A Shimaidon Rather Than An Oyakodon!: Tame the black cat Onee-chan and realize every man's ultimate dream!]
[Task: Raise Kuroka's submission value to at least 80.]
[Rewards: 6,700,000 XP, Random Item, Upgrade Candy, 4 Skill Points.]
[Penalty: Lose sense of taste for a month.]
'Shimaidon? Hehehe.'
It was only after reading the name of the quest that Yusuke actually started thinking about it. Koneko was Kuroka's younger sister, so if he managed to get both sisters, wouldn't that mean...
Hehehe.
Although he was already enjoying double Oyakodon almost every day, trying a double Shimaidon would definitely be a novel experience.
'Too bad they aren't twins.'
[Disgusting pervert! Hopeless trash! Despicable creature! Gaelord!] Hearing his thoughts, B2 immediately started raining curses down on him.
'Dafuq is wrong with you?! Bitch! What's wrong with a man acting like a man?! Bitch, you were the first one who encouraged me to get a harem. Did you forget that?' Yusuke roared inside his mind at the hypocritical bitch.
If only he could mute her, what a blessing that would be. Recently, she had been bitching nonstop inside his head, and it had gotten so bad that he could barely sleep anymore.
"Nyahaha, bypassing barriers is so easy for me, nya!" Kuroka spun around before placing both hands on her waist and saying with a proud smile, "I am awesome?"
She was extremely skilled in Space Manipulation, and most barriers were completely ineffective against her. She had even created a portable space where she could store anything she wanted, pretty much like an inventory.
Back during the Three Factions' meeting in the Underworld, she had completely ignored the barrier surrounding the location and teleported there so effortlessly that no one even noticed her arrival.
"Yusuke, we should capture her and seal her power." Koneko clenched her fists and spoke indifferently, "She is too dangerous."
