Another Divine

A few days had passed by then. The rumors slowly died down as my friendship with the two from the Kamisato Clan, and another traveler was revealed.

Inazuma may seem quiet and peaceful at first glance, but if you are perceptive enough, you will notice countless preparations happening. Preparations for what you may ask... Who knows?

Unlike that event, though, my preparations are now complete. That is why this situation is happening..., and why I have to pull my shit together and greet them.

"Good afternoon everyone! I hope you had a pleasant day so far!" I did my best to give my usual smile as I greeted my disciples. I informed them quite late, of such a gathering... I was actually really lucky that they made it here at all.

"Greetings to you as well, your majesty." The steadfast Sara replied in a formal tone. I only responded with a smile of acknowledgement.

"It would have been pleasant if you told us about this in advance... I AM really busy because of a certain someone's orders after all." An irritated Ayaka complained with vigor. I do not remember anyone who gave an order to the Kamisato Clan, though...

"Now now, Its too early to be grumpy princess. Flash me a smile will you? You are more beautiful that way." I went weak on the teasing tone, as I am sure that she would kill me if I embarrassed her in front of others.

"Scum! Don't flirt with me this early. It will on work on calming my anger..." You say that, but you're blushing a bit much. It seems like it ain't weak enough, or is it because there are others here that makes it more effective than usual?...

"Good afternoon...Ziya." Lumine is now back in her silent state. It is a bit weird seeing her change from dormant to cheerful, but its also fun noticing her switch flip mechanic.

"How was your day, Womanizer of Inazuma-kun?!" Of course, that smug little devil is here. What did I expect...

"A pleasant day indeed, Lu. I did not think we will meet again this fast. I'm really happy..." Kokomi cheerfully said with a beautiful smile. My heart!

"The voice of an angel is really bad for my heart! How stunningly gorgeous you are today, my dear Kokomi..." I unconsciously clutched my heart, and wiped a fake tear. 

I immediately noticed the two tsunderes staring at me in disgust, while Sara just looked confused. I understood that I had blurted it out, albeit in a weak voice, as I saw a flustered Kokomi in front of me.

"Ehem! I am glad that all of you made it in time, though a little saddened at the fact that you didn't call me master, teacher, tutor or anything of sorts... But if using my name signified how close we are then all is good."

"So my trusted brave tengu Sara. You need not to be too formal with me... even in front of others, Alright?" I pointed at her to make sure she wouldn't find a way to dodge this.

"...I understand... Lu." She gave in with a bit of reluctance. She probably hesitated since I am her great idol's husband.

"Speaking of which, I heard you call her as Ziya... right Lumine? I wonder where did that come from?" Kokomi questioned with an unsettling smile. I sense trouble, and I am not down for it.

"He said its an old name of his, so I decided to use it." Lumine answered with a smug tone. Are you dormant or cheerful right now? Choose only one, woman!

"Yeah! That swindler used that name when he first showed up to us, acting like some merchant. I knew he was suspicious at the beginning though, Hmph!" No... no, you did not.

"Hoh? I didn't know you were that close to him Lumine?..." Ayaka... don't join this one princess. The traveler was now feeling cornered as Ayaka joined Kokomi in questioning her. I think this is the perfect time to address them...

"What the hell are you guys doing here?! I understand Yae being here because of what I said, but you too Orihime?" My shout stopped the interrogation, and gathered their attention to the people I asked.

"I am just checking out the potential 'candidates', husband." Ei said while her twin sister Makoto, nodded in response.

"Yae needs someone to watch after her, don't you think?" Orihime who was with Yae, said. No, I don't think- I mean I do think, I'm not dumb... I-I... You win. Sigh*

"I may have retired but I still have the responsibility to see this through, Nii-sama." Chiyo said, here I thought she was busy with my orders about the fireworks... I guess Yoimiya will be fine, probably.

"Don't mind us boss! We just want to welcome the new chief of onis." Reizenbou who came here with Yoshitsune, stated.

"You found a new leader of onis?-" Paimon was about to ask when someone who was late finally appeared.

"You really gathered them all? Impressive, you old fart." Dainsleif said while clapping. Lumine flinched at what he hinted at.

"I don't know what you mean-"

"Cut the bullshit. You're too carefree old man, act your age will ya?" I could say the same to you. You ain't a kid anymore, kid...

"Let's start this first lesson right away! All four of you, are just to watch what will happen for today." I chimed whip-wand to gather their attention.

"My specialty is control, so I am here to show you what the peak of control looks like."

"The Kunlun Mountains is here! Special Domain- Imposed." I covered the place with my reality marble like before, but without the flashy stuff this time. I then took out something from the same place.

"What the fuck is that old man?! My instincts is warning me over and over about danger!"

"Hmmm... I'm not good at giving names, I'll just call it a Vision-Pseudo Grail. Its nothing but a container of elements. I can't tell you how much it can contain though, since I don't know myself, Hahaha!!!" Dain stared at me like I'm crazy, but got ready to focus on what I asked him to do.

"My connection with her isn't that strong, but we still fought side by side. By that fact, my blood should act as a catalyst." I cut my finger, and let the blood drop to the ground.

"Hear me!"

"If you reside in the Throne of Heroes then answer! Guardian of the Scales!" As I predicted, a rift to the abyss opened as a consequence of bringing a lifeform from a faraway world.

Dainsleif then immediately got to work on closing it, and the abyss monsters were getting easily obliterated by Ei. Seeing them doing fine, I focused on the summoning.

The procedure, with all its problems, only lasted for a few minutes. A bright light appeared, and a fog blinded us to a proper view. But I definitely saw something there, or in this case, 'someone'.

"Where in the hell did you bring me, Taikoubou~?" An intoxicating, smooth voice was heard by all of us. Only I noticed a hint of anger in it.

Ah shit. Here we go again.
