When Kimihito woke up this morning, he felt his body much fresher than usual. He thought it might be because he had enough rest. Besides that, he didn't practice until yesterday evening. Even though he woke up earlier, he still tried to get up before Yuuna.
"Ngnh~" While he was still sitting on his futon, he heard Yuuna's voice sleeping beside him.
'I have to hurry out!' he thought.
But before he came out, "Kwimihwito?"
'Damn!'
"E-EEH??! I slept on Kimihito's futon, again?!" she shouted, realizing how bad her sleeping habits were.
Kimihito, who had woken up and sat beside her, could no longer pretend to be asleep to trick her, "C-calm down Yuuna, I can- Eeh?"
"..."
Felt Kimihito's direct gaze made Yuuna's face immediately turn red. Even a puff of smoke seemed to come out of her head. "D-don't look at me now!"
"Whoa! Y-Yuuna, calm down. I only saw a little bit." He said frantically because he suddenly lifted up, in such a state he could only say words to calm her down and anticipate what would happen next.
"S-so you saw it..."
"Ah."
Clang
However, it seemed that his attempts to calm her down were failing. And with her poltergeist powers, Kimihito was quickly flown out of his room through the window. Since there was only a river beside his room, he would automatically plunge into it as soon as her poltergeist power was gone.
Burst
However, Kimihito had anticipated such a thing. He immediately looked for a solution so that he did not plunge into the river. Honestly, he didn't want to start his morning bathing in the river. So with that, he immediately readied his legs and kicked with all his might on the surface of the river water so that he could jump. Indeed he had already adjusted the strength and direction of his jump so he could return to his room.
"K-Kimihito! Are you okay? Sorry for throwing you out!" she said, feeling guilty.
"Y-Yuuna, you better get dressed right away."
"A-ah, Right!" then she immediately corrected how she dressed.
After this morning's small matter was over, they immediately walked together towards the living room for breakfast. Kimihito felt that he no longer needed to wash his face because he felt refreshed after being slightly splashed by the cold river water he kicked. What a different morning than usual.
***
"It's unusual to see you up so early, Nonko." He said seeing Nonko in the living room this morning, she looked drunk.
"Really, Kimihito-chan? Nee~ Maybe you can sleep in my room to wake me up every morning, you know~"
"Kimihito doesn't need to sleep in your room if you just tell him to wake you up!" Sagiri commented. He felt that Kimihito didn't need to sleep in Nonko's room if she just told him to be her alarm.
"But it will be faster~"
"It's rare to see Nonko-san awake this early. Did something happen?" asked Chitose, who was preparing breakfast.
Hearing Chitose's question made Nonko remember what made her wake up this morning. "Hmm~ If I'm not mistaken, I heard a loud noise this morning."
"Ah! I heard it too."
"That sounds like it's coming from the river next door."
Hearing everyone's comments made Kimihito couldn't help but smile wryly while enjoying his breakfast. While Yuuna who was beside him, looked a little worried.
"What's wrong, Yuuna? Your face looks red. Do you have a fever?" Sagiri asked, noticed Yuuna seemed to be acting weird.
"N-nothing."
"Could it be..."
"EXCUSE ME!" suddenly they all heard someone's loud voice from outside.
Feeling familiar with the voice, Kimihito immediately opened the living room window to see who shouted just now," Oh, so that guy's back."
"Eh? H-he's back?!"
"Who?"
"He's the one who attacked Yuuna yesterday."
"So it's him..." Sagiri muttered. Of course, all the residents of Yuragi-sou already knew about yesterday's incident.
"How dare you get in my way yesterday, brat! You even threw me into the river!!"
"Huh? If I look closely with my spiritual vision, that place is the base of the man-eating Youkai!" Sekkan shouted after seeing all the residents of Yuragi-sou.
"We from the Gudon Clan will exterminate all of you!"
"..." They were all silent and just listened to all the Sekkan words until the end.
Unlike yesterday, Sekkan didn't come alone this time. Many bald people seemed to be helping him this time. Kimihito and the others already understood that Sekkan didn't come to Yuragi-sou with good intentions. Especially when they found out that the leader of those people was the man who attacked Yuuna yesterday.
"But Sekkan-dono, they all wear female forms. Moreover, they are all cute." said the bald man 1.
"I'm not sure I can treat them rudely." bald man 2 added.
Hearing his comrades' comments made Sekkan ears itchy, "Enough!"
"We will eradicate the Youkai and the humans who sided with them!"
"But..." Bald 3 wanted to interrupt, however,
"Then catch the girls and use them however you like as training materials!"
"REALLY?!"
"Using them… to our heart's content?"
Delusions start to appear in the minds of those people. They imagined tying up all those beautiful girls and using them for their 'training materials'. For just that reason, their morale instantly increased. There was no way for them to waste this opportunity.
"So! That means the same as saving them, huh!" says random bald.
"I thought so too!"
"Me too!"
"WE TOO!" All the bald people excitedly, impatient to 'save' the Youkai in Yuragi-sou.
"Sigh..." seeing all that made Kimihito sigh. He couldn't understand how people like them could exist in this world, "Sorry, it's all my fault."
"I'll take care of them right away." he really had to take care of them immediately.
"There's no need!"
Just as she was about to jump out, suddenly Sagiri was already outside, standing on Yuragi-sou's roof and staring at all the Sekkan and others from above. Her eyes seemed to say she was disgusted by people with such dirty intentions. She would never forgive such people either.
"Ameno-style Demon Slaying Technique!"
"Secret weapon! Nurashigure!"
As soon as Sagiri finished saying her line, she circled in the air, and ninja kunais began to scatter around Sekkan's people. Surprisingly, none of the kunai hit their heads and only stuck to the ground around them. Those people must have been surprised and curious about what she was doing because they didn't try to avoid the kunai either.
"What's this!?"
BOOM
Shortly after, all of the kunai Sagiri had scattered gave off light and exploded. A thick cloud of smoke could be seen after the explosion. Those initially curious and approached the kunai were instead hit by an unexpected blast.
Seeing some of his comrades fall immediately made Sekkan angry. "Tch! Don't be afraid! Keep going!"
"Aha~ Your heads are smooth like a ball~" suddenly, Nonko's voice was heard, which turned out to be already around those people.
"Nee nee~ Can I play bowling?"
"Bo-bowling?" The bald man beside her became flustered as his head was suddenly grabbed.
"W-waaaa!"
With great ease, Nonko lifted the entire body of a grown man with just one hand. It was pretty strange to see how he lifted the man because it was not his body that she was holding but his bald head. It's as if she's having a bowling ball.
"What kind of strength is this?!"
Taking a closer look at Nonko, one of the bald men noticed something from the woman, "Look! There's a horn on that girl's forehead!"
"Oni, huh?"
Currently, Nonko looks a little different than before. There was a sharp white horn that appeared on her forehead. Apart from that horn, nothing else had changed in her.
"Get ready~"
"Take this!" Ignoring all their confusion, Nonko immediately threw the man she had been lifting towards them like throwing a bowling ball.
"Uwaa!"
Clank
"Aaargh!"
"Strike!" Nonko shouted happily when she saw her throw hitting everyone in front of him.
Seeing all that made Sekkan furious, "Damn! You... Who would have thought it could be like this…." He didn't expect something like this to happen even though he had brought so many people.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Sekkan felt something big cover him from behind when his gaze shifted to another direction. Out of curiosity, he immediately turned his gaze to see who else was there.
"Hah?"
He couldn't comment anymore. There was a big white cat. So big it could cover his whole body. Besides that, the cat looks like it has 3 tails, which means it's not an ordinary cat.
"Nyaa nyaa?"
"Um, you can play with them," said Yaya near the cat. It seemed she could understand what the cat was saying.
After hearing Yaya's agreement, the cat immediately ran towards people to play with them like a cat toy. Tossed, rolled, scratched, and some were nearly eaten, they really became cat toys. There was no resistance from them because the cat was too powerful for them to fight.
"Nya!"
"Aaargh!"
"Hmm~"
"Yaya is sleepy..." Yaya muttered bored. But she seemed a little pleased.
"..."
"Impossible... Totally annihilated?" Sekkan muttered when he saw that everyone who had come with him had lost.
"No, we will regroup and come back again, then we'll definitely-"
"Excuse me, sir. That won't do." Before Sekkan could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard the voice of someone nearby. It was seen that Chitose had also come out through the door and was standing in front of Yuragi-sou.
Seeing Chitose also joined there made Kimihito curious about what she would do. There was no way a Zashiki Warashi who had lived for almost 1000 years didn't have anything special.
Looking at all the Sekkan people who were spread out in front of him, Chitose's hand suddenly gave off a bright light, and then she raised her hand up.
"This!"
The bright light turned into a kind of light bubble which slowly descended down on all the Sekkan people, including Sekkan himself. He was confused about what the girl who looked 13 years old was doing beside him.
Silently watching from within Yuragi-sou, Kimihito was also curious about the light that Chitose had just released, "What light is that?"
Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep
Shortly after, all the light bubbles disappeared as soon as the sound of the telephone rang from those people. Because there was a sudden call, they all received the call immediately.
"I am the heir to a billionaire?!" shouted one of the bald men suddenly, unable to believe what he had just heard.
"I passed Johnny's audition?!"
"A debt of 100 million is considered paid off?!"
"Pochi has come home?"
"I was chosen to be a hair growth product test subject?"
They miraculously received the calls one by one, which was good news for all of them. The sudden good news seemed to have dispelled their awareness of their recent defeat. Well, that's only natural because they were already lulled by the sudden happiness.
"I retired as a Youkai hunter!"
"Yo!" they all shouted in unison.
"What?!" Sekkan couldn't believe this sudden situation.
"Tch! That's why monks…"
Beep Beep Beep
Before Sekkan could finish his sentence, his phone also suddenly rang. Seeing who was calling him at a time like this, he looked at the contact name and quickly took the call.
"Dad, I'm sorry. After becoming a parent, I've finally realized how wrong I was. So please, quit being a monk and come home."
"...Yes, alright," Sekkan said briefly.
"Cyaaaa! Remember this, Youkai! One day I will definitely return the favor to you!" Shouted Sekkan happily.
"Thank you very much!" X69 They all shouted while bowing and then ran away from Yuragi-sou happily.
"Hope you all continue to be happy!" Chitose said with a smile and waved his hand.
Seeing the sudden change that took Kimihito by surprise, he immediately went outside to take a look with Yuuna beside him. "The caretaker who's been at Yuragi-sou longer than any of us, Chitose Nakai-san."
"A Zashiki Warashi who is able to manipulate luck," she added.
"Isn't that amazing?"
'Maybe Chitose can increase my luck when spinning gacha.' he thought.
"Throw away your thoughts if you want to try it too. Basically, they just use their own luck," said Sagiri when she heard Kimihito's words.
"Eh?" His gaze upon seeing all the people running happily just now became pitiful.
After knowing the consequences of Chitose's power of luck manipulation, Kimihito definitely didn't want to try it. He was not someone who wanted his future luck to run out in the present.
"I hope they didn't use all of their lifetime luck in one shot," Nonko said hopefully.
'Wouldn't that be a disaster?' he thought.
"It turns out that Nakai-san is indeed strong," Yaya muttered after seeing Chitose's strength.
Seeing everything finished, Chitose said, "Alright everyone, time to resume breakfast."
