With great powers, comes a great harem! - Chapter 86- Grooming
The Annual Union of the four giants of Japan, that is, the head of the four leading clans along with their council ministers and various famous entities including businessmen, artists, and hunters, was about to happen today.
Generally one of the four major clans hosts the celebration, and following the tradition, this year, it was the Kurkokawa clan who volunteered for this responsibility.
The venue for this event was a massive ceremony hall that was located near the eastern side of Tokyo. The size of the hall was huge enough to accommodate two thousand people easily.
The head of the Kurokawa clan has given the responsibility of all the preparation to his trusted minister and youngest son.
Kurokawa Ryouya’s eldest son—Kurokawa Yuiichi, appears very less in public. It’s rumored that the eldest one of the clan was working with the secret Japanese strike force division, ‘Blood Hounds’. However, there were rumors as well, that the eldest son was a failure as a hunter and the clan head had purposely hidden him to save the clan from embarrassment.
Regardless, today’s focus of the media and the guests joining the event wouldn’t be Yuiichi or any other person but a single boy.
The one who was discarded by the Kurokawa clan nearly eight years ago. The one who has awakened his second skill recently and joined the Tower. The one who has escaped attempted murder twice and now is quite popular amongst the masses—Shirazawa Yuki, formerly known as Kurokawa Yuki will be joining the celebration today.

To prepare for the event, Yuki and Maya traveled from the island to the mainland and went to buy clothes for the day.
Maya took the liberty to choose the brand from which they would be purchasing their formal clothing for the event.
It was a very famous and expensive brand that she led him to. Yuki, before today never even thought of stepping in here, given the price of a single suit here exceeds the yearly income of his sister.
“Maya….are you sure we should buy something so expensive for me? How about I get you something nice and pretty and we-”
“Not acceptable.” Maya’s response was quick and firm. She has noticed how Yuki never likes to spend on himself or even dislikes receiving expensive gifts. If it’s about Maya, Shio, or Amaye then Yuki wouldn’t think twice before spending all his savings at once, but when it comes to himself, he just turns into a saint.
Maya didn’t say anything further and searched through the shelves to find the perfect suit for her Lord.
Since nanotechnology is implanted in the clothes here, any pair would resize itself to the wearer’s measurement without the requirement of manual alteration.
“How about this, Maya-sama.” The store clerk, who was well aware of Maya’s identity and was somewhat familiar as well, suggested a well matched formal suit.
The coat boasts a rich wine shade, reminiscent of aged merlot. Crafted from premium wool-blend fabric, the coat features classic peak lapels, a single-breasted design, and a sleek, tailored fit that accentuates the wearer’s silhouette. The matching pants, in the same deep wine hue, are expertly cut for a flattering slim fit, with pressed creases adding a polished finish. Adding a cream white shirt to the attire, it seemed the best apparel for a gentleman such as Yuki.
“Perfect.”
Maya took the suit from the clerk before she offered it to Yuki, “Yuki-sama please try this on.”
Yuki gulped. Not because the suit looked extremely good, but because of the digits he vaguely saw near the collar.
Regardless, he didn’t have any other option rather than taking the clothes and heading to the trial room.

Once Maya and Yuki selected their clothes they went to a famous make up dresser which naturally Maya suggested.
Yuki didn’t show his reluctance since he knew, Maya was not ready to hear a single word of objection from him today.
Yuki’s hair was trimmed slightly. Some face massage along with manicure and pedicure. The dresser called his staff and told him to bring some accessories which would go best with the clothes. Like cuff buttons, a black ear stud, a tie and matching shoes.
Nearly at five(four hours after he entered the place) Yuki was allowed to leave.
‘Haaah….what a hectic day….’ He was so tired after going through those treatments that he clearly missed the heated gaze which the women passing by, were giving him.
Yuki stood near the end of the lobby under the light with his left hand in his pocket and his right one holding his phone. Under the warm light his features were clearly visible for the onlookers to gaze at.
At the moment, Yuki was looking nothing less than a shoujo Prince from those stories which women like to read.
Unbothered by what the others thought about him, Yuki took a picture of himself and sent it to Shio.
[Waaaaah….Yuki-kun looks so dashing. Haah….I am melting.]
The love stricken emoji she sent made him chuckle as he continued chatting with Shio, until the sound of heels clanking against the floor didn’t reach his ears.
Yuki intended to take just a glance at the person…however, the moment his eyes laid on her, he wasn’t able to look away.
A raven dark dress that reached her knees was adorned by the one of the most beautiful girls, god has ever created. The strapless one piece dress exposed her healthy white skin down from her neck and her shoulders. Her figure was well accentuated in the dress, giving off a very charming and mature vibe. Her silvery blond hair was tied in a bun with some curled up strands allowed to free fall down her forehead.
If not for her movement, then one might have misjudged her as a doll.
She looks that beautiful.
From the moment she walked out of the parlour and reached his side, Yuki forgot to breath. He felt witnessing her beauty was the only thing he could allow himself to do.
“Maya….you….I love you.”
“~~~!!” The rosy shade of her cheeks elevated as she suddenly heard her Lord’s confession as the first thing.
Holding his hand she responded in a meek voice, “I-I….too….”
Yuki and Maya kept on looking at each other, before they averted their eyes at the same time…only to peek at each other again.
The onlookers, who were checking out the two before, were now sighing in admiration looking at the two love birds.
They complimented each other very well.
