Yokai likes to play pranks on human.
                          
Their pranks can ranged from just a childish play to an almost kill. After all, different power makes different judgment to their surroundings. Their favorite is disguising themselves as a human and steal something from a traveler or merchants. 
                          
For someone who's directly have a connection with Yokai, sensing their identity is something Shun has to deal with in daily basis. 
                          
" ...... Eh? "
Is the only reply that Chizuru can utter before Shun's question.
                          
The look on her face—no, in everybody's face are in union. The shock and confused expression, even on Hijikata and Kondou who supposedly already knew about her relation with the yokai.
                          
This question is just one of her facade actually. Of course, Shun already knew the answer. But it doesn't matter which answer came out, it will still be a win-win for her. 
                          
The main goal behind this question is not to know how Chizuru will react, but to announce everyone in here—softly—that Shun are somewhat have an experience with the supernatural.
                          
" Of... course, he's a human... "
Even Chizuru herself replied it in more like a question rather than a statement. 
                          
"  Huh? What the hell with that question? "
Asked Shinpachi abruptly.
                          
" It's exactly as what it sounds. Yokai or not? I wish to help you find your father as well as soon as possible if it can benefit to the Shinsengumi, but your presence is... different. " 
Looking at the girl beside her, Shun thinned her eyes with a teasing smirk. 
                          
" Different? Oi oi, Shun. Don't tell me this girl is... a g-g-ghost? "
Sitting beside Shinpachi, a trembling voice of Heisuke makes the young guy almost sounds comedic in Shun's ears.
                          
" Fufu, that's not it, Heisuke-kun. Although... you're almost right. " 
                          
Raising his hand to in front his chest as if calling for a time out, Sannan sighed in a slightly stressed out manner whilst adjusting the bridge of his glasses. 
" Hold on, looks like things getting out of hand here, Shun-san. The things that you said just now... if you may excuse me, almost sounds foolish. Such things like Yokai... what does it have to do with this? "
                          
Nailing her eyes to the scholar, Shun's gaze almost as cunning as her sudden change of tone.
" Oh? Foolish you said? Isn't that... a bit ironic? " 
                          
" SHUN! " 
Thunderous voice blaring throughout the room, making every inch of everyone's nape having goosebumps from Hijikata's voice. 
                          
Kondou who's sitting right beside Hijikata almost dropped his jaw in disbelief.
" T-Toshi, calm down. " 
                          
Hijikata heard Kondou clearly, but his piercing gaze still gnawing at Shun's, who doesn't want to back away as well. Somehow everyone get the gist how the atmosphere changed from bad to worst gradually.
                          
" Cut your crap already and out with what you really want by telling us all of this. "
                          
Heed his words, Shun change her tone and demeanor to seriousness. 
                          
" I'm positive that Chizuru Yukimura is not a human because I can feel the yokai aura in her body. Since she's not a human, that means her father isn't one as well. Perhaps you all have been searching with a wrong method for a wrong creature. "
                          
" What if she's indeed a human? " 
                          
" Well, I can sense the yokai aura strongly from her body. But if she turn out not to be a yokai by some miracle, then her father is. It's either she's a yokai and her father is a yokai, or she's a human who's been living too long with a yokai. "
