Emergency?

I hurriedly left Tenshukaku, but not without making sure that I wouldn't wake up the sleeping beauty cuddling in my arms.

(This is definitely not according to plan! I never predicted an event like this to happen!)

It's not like I use my clairvoyance the whole time, you know? It might sound amazing, but doing so would make everything pretty much boring and lifeless. I'd rather not end up like a certain psychic.

This is most likely because of the existence of a troublesome yet gorgeous Oni. Yes, I am well acquainted with Shuten, but not to the point that I can predict her every move. Her being an oni that does whatever she wants, does not help at all either!

(Sigh* And here I thought I would have a peaceful day... For now, I should focus on finding the center of the trouble.)

Chime*

I activated the surveillance part of the barrier to make it easier for myself. If I were to describe this, it's like swapping through several hidden cameras throughout the city. Naturally, I have to do it manually. I can't google this shit!

My search ended as I noticed an ongoing commotion at the Kamisato Estate. I decided not to waste any time and teleported myself immediately to the place. Not having a single clue on what was happening.

***

(What...)

My eyes almost fell off as I scanned my current surroundings. A well-mannered man didn't mind my confusion, and he walked towards me.

"Welcome your majesty. I must say, you are quite late. Are you not the one who started this banquet?" Ayato greeted me with a smile. From his words, he seemed to have understood what had occurred already.

Using our connection, I found the culprit silently drinking her wine in ecstasy. And a few more seconds of searching, I spotted the big container of wine that she 'happened' to lose.

"Onii-sama is finally here~... Cheers!" I heard a drunk Chiyo exclaim, surrounding her were the onis who were supposed to be causing trouble.

(I mean, they were... but I didn't expect this kind of trouble...)

After greeting back to the Kamisato Head, I slowly walked towards my troublesome partner with a menacing look.

"Fuahhh... Hmmm? Good morning master~, I hope you had a pleasant sleep~?" Shuten said with a smirk, loud enough for everyone to head.

I replied by smacking her in the head. Fast enough that even her assassin traits, won't be able to dodge. Which is impossible, but I cheated by opening a small fraction of my realm, where I can control time, albeit not so much.

"Good morning my ass! You shouldn't disturb someone's pleasant sleep for some bullshit reason!" I'm not really that angry, but mad enough to blurt out some curses.

"Hehe, I'm really sorry~... Its just a small prank of mine as payback for cutting our connection while I was asleep~. I guess something had happened with that wifey of yours thag I shouldn't see~." She started with a pout as she rubbed her aching head, then turned into a teasing smirk at the end.

"Woah! Since the Lady Boss said it, it really is true that the Raiden Shogun is now married!" A flamboyant looking oni shouted.

"I told you it was true, but you didn't believe me." A ninja-clothed female bickered with him. Unlike the others, they are clearly not that drunk yet. The other onis who were busy drinking joined the conversation, and the place rapidly became noisy.

"You two~, come with us. I will introduce you to our hon here~, our big boss~." Shuten beckoned, and the two followed. Ayato signaled towards us and we followed him to have a private talk, leaving the busy Chiyo to have fun with her former comrades.

We traveled on foot a bit, before spotting two people I expected to be here. The other two that Shuten called were completely silent throughout our stroll.

(She taught them well... Now that I am seeing them up close, they do look like important figures, just a bit. The shinobi was the one that attracted me, though. An actual female ninja in the flesh! Sayu doesn't count as she is still too young to find the difference.)

"Thoma, I'll be leaving the rest to you." Our elegant commissioner ordered.

"As you wish, milord." Thoma answered casually before leaving his companion on her own. I guess, I should be the one who makes the move.

"Ice Princess, would you spare a few of your important time, with us?" I invited Ayaka, who was clearly in a bad mood, with my usual smile.

"Hmph! Don't talk to me, no-good womanizer of Inazuma." She snorted, before walking alongside her brother.

"Fufufufu~. Another person who woke up in the wrong spot of the bed today, I wonder why~." I heard Shuten giggling behind me.

(So that's why... This cheeky oni, causing trouble for me one after another!)

The atmosphere was tense as we continued our walk. The shinobi were looking fine even with the pressure. The male oni... not so good, he seemed like the type of person who talks all he wants, so this might be bad for him. Best of luck, my man.

He really was in luck as our group finally arrived in a private room. All of us took place except Ayaka, as she readied the tea for this occasion. She still avoided giving it personally to me, though, and sat next to her brother.

"You should know about this womanizer already~, but let me introduce him~. This is my Master, Lu~. The big boss, and the new deity of Inazuma~. Don't worry about being formal with this guy~. If you do so~... I'll cut your head off. Okay~?" ...That ended badly. I shouldn't have let her take the lead. The male oni seemed to have made up his mind... He looks like he's gonna shout persona or something.

"...Alright, let's do this! I am the numero uno! Leader of the Arataki Gang! The one and oni, Arataki Itto! And this person here is my second in charge Kuki Shinobu! Nice to meetcha boss!" I thought he would end their introduction with a pose or some sort, but he held out his hand for a handshake.

"Fufufu~." That smooth voice only belongs to one person.

(You threatene- tamed him well Shuten... I salute you.)
