It was a street filled with buildings in the Edo period. Ancient houses were built side by side, and strange-looking creatures peeked their faces from the doors and windows.
This was the capital of the city, also known as the capital of the city. It was the territory of the demons.
In the depths of the city, there was a huge archway in front of an ancient and majestic house. Sei Itō, Asashel, and Seraph, who was wearing a kimono, were protecting a blonde girl who was wearing a kimono similar to that worn by the princesses of the Warring States Period.
Opposite them were Shiba Yuto, Jenova, and Wisteria Irina, who were led by a vixen and Losevier, who were walking over.
"You're here."
"Oh, hello everyone."
Seeing their arrival, Asashel and Seraph greeted them casually. Sei Itō nodded with a smile as a form of greeting.
"Lord Jiuchue, I've brought everyone here." The fox girl who led the way bowed to the blonde girl.
Then, the fox girl's body emitted a faint green flame like a will-o '-the-wisp, and she instantly disappeared from the spot.
"I'm Jiuchue, the daughter of Yazaka, the leader of the demons living in Biaohe Kyoto." The blonde girl took a step forward and introduced herself to Shiba Yutou and the others.
Then, she lowered her head and continued with an apologetic tone, "I'm sorry about last time. I didn't understand the situation and attacked you. Please forgive me. "
"Forget it. Isn't the misunderstanding resolved? As long as there won't be a second attack and we can have fun in Kyoto, there won't be a problem. "Jenova said magnanimously.
"Yes. A forgiving heart is necessary for angels. I don't hate the princess. "Wisteria Irina agreed.
"Just like my companions, I don't hold a grudge against Your Highness. So, raise your head. "Shiba Yutou smiled.
"But, but …"
"Um, can I call you Jiuchue?" After Jiuchue nodded, Jenova asked directly. "Jiuchue. You're worried about your mother, aren't you? "
"Of, of course." Jiuchue answered without hesitation.
"If that's the case, it's understandable for you to make a mistake and attack others. Of course, sometimes it will cause problems and make the other party unhappy. But you've already apologized. You're apologizing because you know you made a mistake, right? "Jenova continued.
"Of course." Jiuchue said with a serious expression.
"In that case. There's no problem. We don't blame you for anything, "said Genova.
"Thank you." Jiuchue.
"I didn't expect you to have such a talent, Genova," Assashel said, seemingly surprised.
"Although I'm a warrior, I've interacted with believers before. I still have a certain degree of negotiation skills," Jenova replied.
"Really?" Really? "Wisteria Irina exclaimed in surprise.
"What do you mean?" Genova frowned.
...... ..............................
............ Don't tell me you haven't received any training? "Genova asked curiously.
. "Yes. Is that so? "Wisteria Irina recalled with a cute expression.
Jenova sighed and shook his head as if he had been defeated.
"… Although I'm sorry for my mistake … but, I beg of you! In order to save my mother, please lend me your power! " Taking advantage of the gap between the two, Jiuchue lowered her head again and begged with a sorrowful tone.
"Let's talk about this inside the house." Sei Itō suggested.
Jiuchue nodded as she realized that it wasn't proper to talk at the door. She led everyone into the big house behind her and sat down in a room that looked like a living room.
Then, Jenova started talking. She explained the whole story.
Jiuchue's mother, Yazaka, was the leader of the monsters in Kyoto. She left the house a few days ago in order to talk with the messenger sent by Sakra from Mount Meru.
However, Nine-Tailed Fox Yazaka didn't appear at the meeting place on time with the messenger sent by Sakra. Feeling that something was amiss, the monsters began to investigate. It was under such circumstances that they discovered a guard who was supposed to be by Yazaka's side. It was a dying Crow Tengu.
Before dying, Crow Tengu told the monsters that were investigating. Yamazaka was kidnapped after being attacked by someone.
Thus, all the monsters in Kyoto became alert and searched the city for suspicious people. It was at that time that Kiba Yudou and Jenova, who happened to appear, were attacked.
After that, Assashel and Leviathan, who had received the news, negotiated with Ninefold and the others who had temporarily taken over the management of the monsters. They made it clear that the Underworld was not involved in this matter, and used their own methods to provide information about the possible attackers, locking the target on the recently active [Mass of Calamity].
"Sigh. When the various forces want to join hands, this kind of thing will happen very easily. That time with Odin, Loki came, right? This time, the enemy is the terrorists. "Asascher finally said with an unhappy face.
"Your Highness Governor. Your Highness Demon King, can you think of a way to save Princess Yazaka? We are willing to help no matter how much effort it takes. " Standing beside the girl Jiuchue, an old man with a long nose and dressed like a cultivator said.
He was the head of Tengu and had a deep friendship with Yazaka since ancient times, so he was really worried about Yazaka and Jiuchue who were kidnapped.
Then, the head of Tengu took out a scroll and opened it in front of everyone.
On the scroll was a beautiful blonde woman wearing a witch costume. In terms of appearance, she was seventy to eighty percent similar to Jiuchue, but more mature.
Seeing the person on the scroll, Sei Itō and the others faintly guessed the person's identity.
"The person on the scroll is Princess Yazaka." The head of Tengu introduced.
It really is that person.
"We can be sure that the people who kidnapped Princess Yazaka are still in Kyoto." Jenova said.
"Why do you think so?" Kiba Yudou asked doubtfully.
"Because the Ki in the entire Kyoto area is not in chaos. Nine-Tailed Fox is an existence that gathers all the Ki flowing in this land to maintain balance. The existence of Kyoto itself is a large scale position. If Nine-Tailed Fox leaves this land or is killed, there will be a change in Kyoto. Even that omen didn't happen, which means that Princess Yazaka is still alive. The possibility that the people who kidnapped her are still here is very high. "Jenova explained.
"Seraph, to what extent did the Demon King's members investigate?" Then, Jenova turned to look at Seraph and asked.
"I let them do a thorough investigation. I also let the members who are more familiar with Kyoto take action. "Seraph replied.
"This time, we may need to let you guys take action. Because we are really lacking in manpower. Especially since you guys are used to fighting the strong, your strength will be needed for the Hero Sect. Although I am sorry, please think of the worst case scenario. After that, I will contact Sydi's family members who are not here. Until then, continue to enjoy the trip. If there is an emergency, I will leave it to you! "Jenova and the others said.
"Yes!"
"Please, lend … lend me your power to save Mother … No, please lend me your power, I beg you." Jiu Chong clasped his hands together and lowered his head as he begged.
Beside her, the fox girl and the head of the Tengu also made a gesture of agreement.
What happened after that had nothing to do with Jenova and the others. Hence, Assashel had Lothwiase send them back to the hotel. Of course, there was also Sei Itō, who had been asked to do this, but because of his extraordinary status.
Nothing happened that night. In the blink of an eye, it was already the next day.
On this day, after the students set off for sightseeing as usual, Sei Itō, Lothvia, and Asashel began their investigation of the capital.
"Let's split up and search first, then we'll gather around here at noon." For some unknown reason, Asashel, who had set the exploration target on Mount Qiu Lan, spoke to Sei Itō and Lothwiase.
"Okay," Sei Itō replied indifferently.
"Okay," Lothvia agreed as well.
Then, the three of them split up and used their own methods to investigate Mount Qiu Lan.
As for the result, needless to say, they could not find anything.
After a fruitless search, the three of them had no choice but to meet up again according to the agreement they had made beforehand.
"I remember that the tofu pot nearby is the best. Let's go eat it," Asashel suggested.
"Aren't we going to search?" Lothvia asked.
"It's not like we're in a hurry. Let's eat first. After all, only when we're full will we have more energy to do dangerous work, right? "Asashel laughed heartily.
Hearing what he said, Lothvia, who felt that it made sense, nodded in agreement. As for Sei Itō, he would not object to such a suggestion and happily agreed as well.
Seeing that they had reached a consensus, Asashel did not waste any more time and led the two of them to a nearby tofu pot shop.
The tofu pot shop was not big, about the size of a small fast food restaurant. There were four to five square tables inside, and several men and women, who looked like customers, sat at two or three tables, chatting while enjoying the delicious food on the table in front of them.
The three of them found an empty table by the wall and sat down.
"What would you like to order, sir?" The waiter in the shop walked over and asked.
"A large tofu pot, a few side dishes, and a bottle of soju," Asashel ordered without any hesitation.
