Chapter 86 - Kisara Trouble.

This might be the last chapter I'll do this week since I'm busy for the next few weeks. But I will try to keep posting when I can.

Anyway, Toodaloo Bitches.

=========

After the whole ordeal, Natsu reluctantly thanked Haruto for helping him while Haruto simply smiled then nodded. He didn't even tease him, taking his genuine gratitude to heart.

"As someone who has a younger sibling I know the struggle. And can't even begin to imagine seeing them like how Kaede was." Haruto said telling him that even if he didn't view him as a friend doesn't mean he's not willing to help. He has always been great at judging a person's character even before his power.

Natsu didn't say anything and left him as Honoka felt worried for Kaede but Haruto reassured that she will be fine and will play again when she gets the chance.

"You're right. I want to play with Kaede again since she seems lonely." Honoka commented and Haruto smiled at her kindness, something that she shared with her brother.

They stayed a bit more in Ryouko home where Haruto spent his time with both of them while Natsu took Kaede home after Ryouko permitted them and gave some prescription to help Kaede recover since she lost a number of bodily functions. Natsu thanked Ryouko feeling indebted to him and Haruto watched from afar as they headed back home.

"Care to share about their story?" Ryouko asked as Haruto explained, pretending the information came from Niijima. She looked troubled at their life but amazed by Natsu's tenacity and maturity. Unlike the canon, there was a loyal friend of natsu's foster father and helped in taking care of them

Once they were done, Haruto headed back home where he would do his usual routine of training and spending time with his woman while also keeping track in his Valhalla letting Niijima expand it knowing quite well what his skills are like.

For the next few days, Renka had arrived in Ryozanpaku where she taken aback by the fact that Haruto had relationship with multiple woman where Karla, Fusui and Sakura would often spend time at Ryozanpaku since Yui have basketball practices while Reina had modeling to deal with. Haruto let them pursue their dreams and career therefore they didn't mind if they couldn't spend time with Haruto when they could catch up in the home.

Haruto treated Renka like a cat as she clung to him and surprisingly got along with Miu but had a hint of rivalry. She showed interest in him as they trained their Kenpo. Renka was baffled to learn that he had reached the Master level at such a short time but then learned that he was part of the Kure clan, a branch from Wu clan that grew as their own clan.

At the moment, Haruto was sparring against Renka with their spectator being Miu, Karla and Fusui since the other masters were working, especially Kensei Ma who didn't want to be around his daughter worried that she might force him back home.

Haruto and Renka circled each other, their movements fluid and precise. With a sudden burst of speed, Renka launched a blistering series of kicks, aimed at Haruto's midsection. Haruto, however, anticipated the attack, his 4 months and half of training making it seem almost effortless to evade her strikes.

With cat-like agility, he sidestepped, spinning to avoid her leg and countering with a powerful punch that sent Renka stumbling backward. Her surprise was evident, but she quickly regained her composure.

'It's only been three weeks since we last met yet he has reached Master class!?' Renka was amazed by the growth of her father's disciple that can't be described as anything other than a monster. Haruto spent around 4 and half months yet he reached an astonished Master class! Though, this is merely factoring his skills and technique but his overall prowess was definitely higher.

Renka began to appreciate him even more than before and smiled as she prepared for another attack. The battle continued with a whirlwind of strikes, parries, and blocks. Haruto's control and timing were impeccable, and it soon became clear that Renka was struggling to keep up. Her kicks and punches, though fierce, lacked the precision of her opponent. Haruto, on the other hand, was a master of efficiency, wasting no energy in his movements.

As the minutes passed, Renka's fatigue began to show, while Haruto remained composed and unyielding. He landed a series of quick, powerful blows, culminating in a perfectly executed roundhouse kick that sent Renka sprawling to the mat.

"You alright?" Haruto went to check on her worried that she might have gotten hurt while the onlooker expected the result but still noted that Renka was still good.

"She's quite talented if we compare people in our clan." Karla commented that in terms of skills and technique then Renka surpassed a number of Kure members who bred to be the perfect fighters and assassins.

She was one of top class talent in her generation along with Fusui who despite her small percent in using removal makes up for her Gun Fu, specialize in martial arts specific in using weapons. She started a lot of military style martial arts making her a certified soldier.

In simple terms, Fusui is the kind of person who would never miss her target. The Observation Haki that Haruto taught her made the said skills reach a new level of mastery.

"Agree, this means our clan will have a stronger generation." Fusui smirked at the thought seeing it was a plus if Renka became part of Haruto's harem and it's clear that she was interested in him. Meanwhile, Renka stood back up shrugging off the last attack.

"I'm fine, after we last met I tried training again and a lot tougher than before but it seems you surpass me in every category." Renka praised him and Haruto scratched his head laughing at her compliment.

"Hahaha thanks. I am just lucky to be gifted." Haruto said since he didn't view himself as talented but instead gifted.

"Don't be so modest." Renka patted his back smiling like a cat as Byakko came in as he was amazingly going to Ryozanpaku on his own. He did grow into the size of a house cat and a few months more would become his adult size. Though, Byakko is a good boy who always listened to Haruto and those important to him.

The few days passed by in flash once again and few things occurred at those times where the event in the water park occurred similarly to the canon story except Haruto beat the two people that were Habuki or Kensei Ma's uncle.

He also fought against Thor from Ragnarok and easily won using Sumo wrestling techniques that he appreciated. Haruto extended his invite to Thor in joining Valhalla and he considered his offer affected by his [ Leadership Mastery ].

At the present time, Haruto was currently walking Miu, Karla and Fusui to Ryozanpaku as Lala went shopping with Risa, Mio and Reina while Yui had basketball practice as usual and Sakura had something to take care of at her home. Byakko was also with them since he often visited them in school and was smart enough to get back home. Not to mention most people who tried to capture him were beaten by him.

While they were talking Miu looked at a street corner and saw Kisara looking at an abandoned Kitty in a cardboard box.

"Wow it's such a cute Kitty" said Miu but right at that time Kisara kicked the box.

"Haruto, let's kill her." Miu said, exuding bloodlust ready to cripple Kisara as she walked towards her.

"Relax, let's not jump to conclusions." Haruto also would have hesitated to cripple anyone who hurt a cat because that's how he is.

"Isn't she a member of that Ragnarok group?" Karla asked observing Kisara who went to the convenience store and bought some stuff. Haruto can't remember the events that are about to unfold in depth since he only got a perfect memory when he got the [ Essence of Archmage ].

"Yeah, maybe she likes cats as well." Fusui said having better intuition and soon after Kisara came out holding a plastic bag. The group looking to investigate immediately saw Kisara feeding the chat then she sensed them arrive.

"D-D-D-Dairy cow!" Kisara exclaimed, looking embarrassed and nervous.

"Hehehe, I wish I could take you home but Byakko is more than enough." To her shock, Haruto suddenly appeared close to her without being noticed! She was baffled at how he was able to do it since there was hardly anything that made her feel his movement.

"H-How did you get past me!?" Kisara tried to change the topic hoping they would ignore what they saw.

"Relax, it's not something to be embarrassed about. It doesn't remove your ability to fight in loving something." Haruto said petting the kitten who was purring making him and Miu to cue at the cuteness.

Roaar!

It was then Byakko meowed, getting their attention then Kisara was shocked when he saw the white tiger.

"Hehehe no need to get jealous, Byakko-chan." Haruto said, patting the white tiger while Kisara was dumbfounded.

"W-Wait, this was your cat!?" For the past week, Kisara had often met Byakko who roamed around her headquarters where she got close.

"Byakko isn't a cat but a White tiger." Karla was the one who answered seeing Haruto was busy playing with the kitten.

"Haruto really loses his sense when it comes to cats huh?" Fusui finds his imposing strength concentrated by his love for cats to be admirable and adorable. Kisara looked at their breasts then to hers making the taekwondo user feel annoyed. Meanwhile, Kisara's mind was in chaos and imagining her love for cats diminishes her reputation.

"I guess I have to kill all of you now!" Kisara took a stance while Karla and Fusui blink looking at each other then giggled, confusing Kisara.

"Hey, what's so funny!?" Kisara looked annoyed that she was being underestimated then shocked to see their eyes similar to Haruto!

"Calm down Neko-chan. It's not something to be embarrassed about. Anyway, how about we take his cat to the shelter?" Haruto suggested and Kisara considered this suggestion before putting his guard down.

"Fine, but after this we'll settle our score!" Kisara said taking the cat as she giggled as she patted it while the group headed to the shelter where Haruto noticed people had malicious intent looking at them but didn't think too much of it. From a different street the Valkyries were looking at Kisara and their second-in-command Chisato Ayazaki was talking on her phone.

"Yes she has made contact with them, Freya-sama and as expected. In case she previously turned out to be a traitor then you can leave the rest to us, The Valkyries." She said while the Haruto group was walking to the Shelter where Miu asked why she loves cats and unexpectedly told the story about her cat.

"How about you, black eyes? Why do you like cats so much?" Kisara asked while everyone was also curious about his love for them.

"I don't know but they resonated with me. They look cute and free. Perhaps it's because they are often abandoned and adopted that I instinctively feel close. Not that I was abandoned." Haruto answered while everyone was a bit surprised then in the next alley they sense danger then the Valkyries from Ragnarok arrived with their leader Freya.

Her real name was Kaname Kugatachi and appeared to be fairly tall and very attractive dark-skinned woman with short messy brown hair, blue eyes, curvy eyebrows, a thin scar running across her left cheek, she is slender but noticeably curvaceous and athletic in frame with broad shoulders and flare hips and she sports a well-endowed chest with a fairly muscled and well-toned built.

She is wearing a form-fitting light-blue sleeveless-shirt and dark blue spandex pants with an orange leather jacket with which she hides the pieces of her staff in the jacket sleeves and a golden eye-like pendant around her neck.

"Freya-sama!?" Kisara was shocked to see her while Haruto's group hardly fazed by theim. Karla and Fusui were easily a Master class while Miu was now at an expert Level.

"I heard that you contacted the enemy and sided with them. I'm simply here to punish you." Kaname said rushing over to her and attacked Kisara who tried to counter only for Karla to be the one that protected her, surprising Kaname who pushed back

"Normally we don't quarrel in this kind of fights but I can't let you attack with the only reason being is being with her." Karla said walking forward where half of the Valkyries immediately went to surround Karla while the attacks tried attacking Haruto's group.

"Are you one of the Valhalla?" Kaname asked Karla who shook her head.

"No, but my Fiance is." Karla answered by taking stances showing her process and wanting to show Haruto her capabilities.

"You're fighting me without a weapon?" Kaname believes that the only way to fight men equally is through weapons while Karla hears her belief simply chuckled.

"Then you haven't trained properly. Armed and unarmed combat doesn't matter, only the one who practices them decides the victor." Karla explained while Kaname nodded as she rushed toward her joined by Valkyrie showing their skills but unfortunately their opponent was Kure who had been bred and trained to fight any style.
