"Nice to meet you. My name is Tokito Muichiro." I greeted the eight people in front of me and introduced myself with a low voice.

Master is standing on my right side while her friend, who's going to be my next master is standing on my left side.

There are eleven people inside the secluded room including me.

"How old are you, Muichiro? My name is Kyojuro Rengoku by the way."

"I'm eleven years old." I answered his question instantly.

"You look so cute. Can you be my younger brother? My name is Mitsuri Kanroji," a girl with a braided pink and green hair speaks with her sweet voice.

I kept my mouth shut and didn't answer her. As far as I'm concerned, I am not here to look for an older sister. I'm here to be their slave.

"If you don't want to be Mitsuri's younger brother, then do you want to be mine?" the other girl with a butterfly hairclip asked, earning a scowl from the person standing beside her.

"He already declined Mitsuri's offer so don't think that he would say yes to you, Shinobu." The guy said then looks at me. "My name is Giyu Tomioka, and you should beware of this girl. She loves biting people when she's angry."

Giyu warned me and points his forefinger at Shinobu. The girl puffs her cheeks in anger.

"Okay, noted." I replied.

Shinobu's eyes widened when she heard my answer and her jaw dropped down on the floor. She glares at Giyu and pinched his waist, making the guy winced from pain.

"I'm gonna bite your tongue later." Shinobu told the guy with an angry expression.

Giyu just rolled his eyes.

"Whatever,"

"Tokito Muichiro..." I looked at the guy who called my full name. He's wearing a black mask on his face.

"The name is Obanai Iguro. If ever you change your mind and you suddenly want to become Mitsuri's younger brother, I'm willing to be your brother too." He continued.

When he tells that, I noticed Mitsuri's cheeks turning red.

"Okay." I replied with a poker face.

My mind won't change though. I won't be anyone's brother.

"My name is Sanemi Shinazugawa. Muichiro, right? Do you know how to fight and kill?" the next guy asked me.

I shook my head twice.

"I don't,"

"Then do you want me to teach you?"

"Not really,"

"Sanemi, watch your words. What do you mean you'll teach him how to kill?" a tall person asked.

"I will teach him how to fight and kill a mosquito, Tengen." Sanemi answered.

A mosquito? I thought he would teach me how to fight and kill an ant.

"Don't mind him, Muichiro. He just really has unsettled business with the mosquitoes... By the way, my name is Tengen Uzui."

Tengen introduced himself and smiled at me. His smile is genuine just like the others.

"Tokito Muichiro..."

The last person who hasn't introduced himself yet also called my full name and step forward to touch my head using his hand with full of gentleness.

This man's hand is big, it almost cover my entire head.

"Do you want to be my son, Muichiro?" he suddenly asked, making me frozen for a bit.

Everyone's eyes got widened and they all got silent for a minute.

It didn't take long before all of them break the silence and starts fighting.

"Gyomei, that's unfair!" - Rengoku

"I just want Muichiro to be my younger brother, but I can be a mother for him too!" - Mitsuri.

"Muichiro, I would be your dad." - Obanai.

"He doesn't need a dad. I'll be a single mom for him!" - Shinobu.

"Shut up, you dimwits. Muichiro is my son." - Giyu.

I heard the two masters standing beside me laughed so I turned my head to them.

"I'm sorry, Mui. You would need to deal with them from now on. How's your first impression to them?"

"They're all weird." I answered honestly.

I really don't understand why they want me to be their son. I'm just a slave. What's so special about me?

"But they are nice people." I added as I felt everyone's genuiness while introducing themselves to me earlier.

I felt my next master held the back of my head.

"I need to introduce myself to you too..."

He walks in front of me and knelt down.

Everyone immediately stops from fighting when they noticed what the master did and look at us with a big smile on their faces.

"My name is Kagaya Kamado. Welcome to your new home, Muichiro."
