The referee's fight and a mask..... The real person behind Suzaku name
Daniele pov
I was standing in the garden with Yasaka next to me
The area was turned into a restricted area by Yasaka's Youjutsu.
"So what are you going to show me?"
Upon Yasaka's question, I revealed Regulus Nemea
<
<
"Balance Breaker]
"Regulus Armorum Rex"
The curiosity in Yasaka's eyes increased a little more as I entered my Balance Breaker
I slowly placed my hand on the tree and let the 'Ki'? flow into it, but my 'Ki'? was surprisingly a transparent golden color.
The tree was currently emitting a golden aura under the effect of [Infusion]
But of course the aim is not to strengthen the tree
*CRACK!*
The tree covered in golden aura instantly shattered into pieces with cracks appearing from all sides.
Yasaka suddenly appeared next to me with a gust of wind and picked up one of the small pieces of wood that had fallen to the ground.
"You used Senjutsu.....but it was golden in color, and why is it so destructive.....No wait was that really 'Ki'?"
Upon Yasaka's repeated questions, I slowly began to explain
"Actually , each time became more mastered to Senjutsu , became easier to control Regulus' aura for me, something Sun Wukong pointed out in yesterday's training. My Balance Breaker allows me to transfer Regulus' power into other things, so...."
"Are you manipulating your own aura with a senjutsu technique but your 'Aura' instead of 'Ki' "
"Kind of yes"
"I see...I wonder if you combined this with 'Ki'----"
Should I fuse the life force with Regulus' aura?
It's like a more comprehensive version of [Beast King Touki]
That's a great idea!!!!
"---but it's too dangerous-----"
It glowed white as I began to gather 'Ki' in my hand, then I carefully injected the golden aura into it.
"----So it would be very bad to do it directly-----"
The white light in my hand began to transform itself into a transparent gold color
"----Daniele!"
Her sudden voice surprised me
"Hmm!? Oh Yasaka what's wrong?"
Yasaka gave me a blank stare for a while
"Did you listen to what I just said?"
For some reason I felt like I had to answer this question correctly.
"Ahhh, of course!"
"...then what is that in your right hand?"
I slowly looked at my right hand
" A golden aura fused with life force?"
At that moment Yasaka reached out and gently poked my forehead
"Seriously, stop messing with your own life force, did you forget what happened with Touki? "
She said in a scolding tone, however it was easy to feel the sincerity in her concern
"Not that I don't appreciate your concern, but I can't get any stronger by sitting, of course I have to take risk.....and as an added defense, the Touki thing was because my body was weak. "
Yasaka grumbled but she positioned her left hand openly in front of me.
"What?"
What does she expect me to do?
"Take my hand, let's try the technique "
"...I don't think this is a good idea"
While rolling her eyes , Touki suddenly roared in extreme proportions around her
"Daniele, I'm a Dai-Youkai , plus we're in Kyoto right now....hurry up."
Finally, I had to give in to her insistence, and I reached out and touched her outstretched hand, and she suddenly intertwined her fingers with mine.
I slowly tried to transfer my [Infusion]-enhanced life force to her. When it got all over her hand, she signaled me to continue.
At that moment, Yasaka's Kimono sleeve was torn a little, but her hand was intact without a single scratch.
"You've made your own 'Ki' directly destructive, which is really impressive, it causes serious damage both internally and externally but it still seems incomplete. A competent Senjutsu Master can still restrict this. However, it is still quite difficult for non-Senjutsu users, but if you can master it, it will be a terrifying trump card."
"Do you have any other advice?"
This caused her to move into a thinking position
"From what I understand, you should also be able to use your 'Ki' to disintegrate inanimate objects."
"I understand"
I have to take this into consideration
"Then let's go, Kunou wanted to have breakfast with you and the girls"
When she turned around, she paused for a moment and looked at me with a mischievous smile.
...I didn't like this
As she approached me she slowly leaned towards my ear
"...I guess you had a lot of fun with your fiancés last night~"
She whispered so close her breath tickled my ear
I stood there as she quickly turned around and walked away.
..... the fuck!?!
[Probably when she held your hand]
Damn, I forgot Senjutsu could do that!!!!!!
I feel the shame crawling up my face
I may not hide my relationship with girls but that doesn't mean I want everyone to know about my bed life!!!
"Wait a second there, Yasaka....no ! Lady Yasaka!!!!"
I followed Yasaka , who walking at a running pace with laughter
--------------------------------------------
When I finally got into the dining room I was hit by a missile attack
"Good morning Levia-tan"
The thing that really hit me was a stray magical girl (Satan)
"Hmm~~ Good morning Dany-tan!"
Of course, at that point a voice came from the corner
"Booo~~ There's NTR, and in front of your fiances, you jerk ~"
I threw small light hammer at Azazel as I felt a heavy twitch in my eyebrow.
"You missed~"
Of course that bastard ran away
Currently in a big breakfast area were the girls (Rossweisse, Irina, Via and Asia), Azazel, Serafall and Kunou and the newcomers me and Yasaka
There was a traditional Japanese breakfast on the table
While Azazel was chuckling at me, I put down Serafall and sat next to Asia who had reserved a seat for me in the corner.
"Mom, what is NTR?"
The moment Kunou asked her mother, who was sitting next to her, the entire area went silent, oh and killing intent/anger, all directed at Azazel of course.
If gazes could kill, Azazel would be wiped out of existence by the female population in this room right now.
Even Azazel backed down under the pressure of so many women at once
"Kunou, that's a bad word honey, it describes a terrible and disgusting person who is not loyal to the people they love"
I felt anger and disgust in Yasaka's voice that I couldn't understand....There's a story there.
"But.....is Dany-san like that then?"
"No!"
I came out suddenly, for some reason Kunou seeing me like this makes me want to cry!!!
"No , no Kunou, you're wrong Dany-tan is not that kind of person I guarantee you."
While Serafall was defending me, Asia, who was sitting on the other side, wrapped her arms around me.
"Kunou-chan, Dany-san is not like that---"
Asia.....
"--At best, he is a playboy"
Asia!!!!!
"That's right Kunou-chan, Darling not that level of scumbag"
Irina said as she came up to me and kissed my cheek
"Are you saying 'not at that level', Irina, are you implying something, hmm?"
Look at my face while I'm giving you dry looks!
"Kunou, let me explain"
Via said while taking the word
As we all looked at her, Via cleared her throat.
"As Dany's first fiancé, I guarantee that he has considered me, let alone the harem, even when it comes to getting close to other women.he even asked me before we started the harem, I can assure you that Dany values our relationships and loves us all in our own ways."
The room fell silent after her words.
[Wow that was pretty deep...so embarrassing]
I just hugged Via who came to me
...I love this woman
"Kunou, apologize to Daniele, that was a rude word"
Kunou's ears drooped as if to show her sadness.
"I am sorry"
Ok I can feel the stars hitting my face from the stage
It's really not fair to be this cute
"Of course I forgive Kunou, after all the bad one here is Azazel"
I ignored Azazel's "Oi!" protest and focused on comforting Kunou...she's more important
"No, I'm really sorry, as an apology I'll give you my favorite food, Nattō, here "
Kunou handed me the sticky beans in the small case in front of her
Do I need to eat this?
I do not judge, but after all, the traditional food of another country is strange to me, and Irina, as far as I know her, was disgusted by this thing
Just as I was about to do something, she received a gentle karate chop from Yasaka on the head, causing Kunou to let out a sound of pain cry.
"M-mom"
"Nice try Kunou, but you're eating Nattō. You may not like it yet, but it's very healthy. "
"Yes mom~"
As I watched her eat Nattō with a disgusted face, a single thought crossed my mind.
Kids are really cunning sometimes
After breakfast, we all stood in Japanese style large hall.
"So they'll come from here? "
I questioned Yasaka, who is the most knowledgeable person on this subject
Yasaka looked at me with a smile upon my question.
" You see, the most basic use of teleportation magic is to use a magic circle, But it's easy to interfere with from the outside and requires preparation for large scale, so we Youkai also have our own way of traveling."
As Yasaka slowly began to explain, the two Youkai she signaled , nodded and placed their hands on the ground.
White and dark energies rose up from the Youkai respectively.
The white one is Senjutsu and the dark one is You-Ki but what do they do
"You see Daniele, it's pretty easy for the Kanto Youkai and the Five Principal Clan to come here, but the Ibaraki Douji is a bit more complicated, because they live in Onigashima"
"The place under Momotarou's story!?"
Irina next to me said as she clapped her hands, her eyes were shining like light
Yasaka just nodded
"This guy may look a little scary but deep down he's a respectful guy . Back to the topic, this is basically a passage made by You-Ki and Ki coming together, we anchor certain point in the world and the opposite side does the same ."
As Yasaka's nine tails swung, the ground suddenly flashed and Ki was continuously injected into the spot where You-Ki and Ki met.
Yasaka continued
"The most important factor is to do this in a place where 'Ki' is abundant, so the process becomes easier. There is a Ley Line right under where we are and we will use it.This way the gateway can support such a large transfer"
Following Yasaka's words, the white and dark energy came together and created a Japanese type of sliding door.
the door slowly opened
a familiar short Dai-Youkai, Nekomata, stepped out.
"It's been a while, did you miss me?"
I frowned at Nurarihyon's words
"I was wondering why it's peaceful here "
"Haha very funny brat"
I grinned as Nurarihyon rolled his eyes.
Then through the door came a young boy with blue eyes and blonde hair and a voluptuous young woman with raven hair and vermillion eyes.
Right next to them, three familiar angels walked towards us and smiled.
"Are you healed?"
I said while looking at Kiyotora's hands
"I'm good as new, these babies can swing a 1000 round sword "
Although he said it cheerfully, the mature voice coming from the side unfortunately destroyed his joy instantly.
"I will consider this when I return to the Church, David will be happy to training you. "
Don't look at me with hope, Kiyotora, you're shooted yourself
"Ahaha! Looks like you got caught, Seiko"
Dulio said as he put his arm around his shoulder
"Don't call me that!"
Seiko--ah *cough* Of course Kiyotora responded
"Then have your fight now, don't make noise when other guests are around"
Griselda's words suddenly overwhelmed both sides
Then the remaining people came through the door,
After all, each figure here was important to their own group, they cannot come alone.
Despite everything , for me for a reason it was refreshing in a way to see Youkai and humans together
"Yasaka-sama"
Ouryu said with a slight expression of respect towards Yasaka
"Similarly, Ouryuu-sama, first, let's summon the Oni "
As Ouryuu nodded and stepped aside I felt a gaze on me, when I turned around, Suzaku's eyes glanced at me for a short while then turned away
....is there a problem?
After the door was closed, it opened again, but the force emitted from this opened door was heavier and the 'Ki' transferred was more concentrated.
As the door slowly opened, becoming larger and wider, close to the length of the giant hall, a wild feeling rushed out of him.
I would say that for the first person who walks in, The smell of lightning and thunder hit my nose
The second most striking thing was its giant size.
Damn Vasco would look like his child next to him!!
The nearly six-metre-tall giant had pale yellow skin and pointed horns protruding from his forehead.
The half-dressed Kimono showed off his ridiculously muscular body, I've only seen this level of muscle ratio on Vasco
The one that came right after was a little more unexpected
He had jet black spiky hair and beard, pale gray skin, and gray horns of the same color jutted out from either side of his head and pointed toward the sky.
Basically the perfect portrayal of a Demon King in a hero story
But the real problem here is----
"Is he wearing a suit?"
Irina muttered in surprise
Yes, the giant Oni in front of us... he was wearing a suit and I must say it was a very nice suit.
"Yasaka, it's been a long time"
The yellow skinned Youkai has spoken
"Similarly, Ibaraki Douji, I still didn't expect Ura to come "
"What's up you two?"
Nurarihyonda spoke as he greeted the two, old acquaintances?
Ura looked at him
"Nurarihyon, are you still... Chibi??"
Ura's words made Nurarihyon's forehead veins throb
"Haven't you ever heard the saying,'What's important is function,' you useless giant?"
While they were arguing, we made an observation.
So he's Ibaraki Douji, the person next to him is Ura
The remaining Youkai (Oni) from the group were also wearing suits and had scarves, hats, etc.
How should I say...
"They look like the Mafia"
I nodded at Rossweisse's whisper next to me, yes it does look like one
But first I think I need to calm down the fangirl next to me
"In Momotarou !!! It's him! I need an autograph!!!!" (Whisper)
Irina's silent fangirl screams made the corner of my mouth twitch, and finally Via lifted her foot and stepped directly on Irina's toes with her heel
Just as Irina was about to scream, Asia covered her mouth
"Irina-san! Don't shout! Griselda-san will get angry"
Irina finally nodded and looked at Via with teary eyes, causing the bluenette to shrug.
I leaned slowly towards her ear
"You'll want it later, doing it now is a terrible idea"(Whisper)
"I'm sorry Darling, but I couldn't help myself, It's Momotarou! I read his story many times when I was a kid!"(Whisper)
"Don't worry, I know, I'll accompany you get his autograph later" (whisper)
When I said that by kissing her cheek lightly, she looked at me with red cheeks.
"Darling ~~ Don't do it in front of people, I'll fall~"(Whisper)
Just a kiss on the cheek????
"Ero-Angel"(whisper)
Via said
Just as Irina was about to open her mouth, a new voice suddenly interrupted them.
"Both of you, seriously, stop, you'll be noticed!" (Whisper)
The two girls grumbled as they finally gave in to Rossweisse's words.
Third person pov
"Then allow me to preside over this meeting for everyone, Kagarasu, if I may"
As Yasaka signaled to her right arm, the Chief of the Karasu-Tengu bowed his head in respect and stepped forward.
"So let me do the introductions "
Kagarasu first pointed to the Oni side
"From Onigashima, the current Onigami (leader of the Oni) Ibaraki Douji-sama, and his companion Ura-sama, the leader of the Oni kind who specializes in Flames."
The two nodded as Kagarasu's gaze turned to the Kanto Youkai's direction.
"Nurarihyon-sama, known as the leader of the Kanto Youkai and the Hyakki Yagyo, and Magari-sama, the Leader of the Kanto Nekomata."
This time he turned his head to where the Five Principal Clan
"Of the Five Principal Clans, the head of the Nakiri family is Ouryuu Nakiri-sama and the head of the Himejima family is Suzaku Himejima-sama."
They both nodded
Finally, his eyes turned to the last group in the room.
"For the impartial mediation and invitation to the three-group agreement from the , Serafall Leviathan-sama and Griselda Quarta-sama , Along with the Brave Saints of Heaven, Heaven's Jokers , [Zenith Tempest] Dulio Gesualdo-sama and [The Lion King] Daniele Berti-sama"
After they nodded, Nurarihyon raised his hand
As everyone looked at him, his boredom was obvious.
"Yes, Nurarihyon-sama."
As Kagarasu gave Nurarihyon the floor, the Dai-Youkai let out a sigh.
"Look, we've already had this conversation, how long are we going to keep doing the same thing over and over again, it's getting boring , Ibaraki, Ura, you two just arrived, tell us your reason from the beginning so we can make this deal. "
The room fell into a surprising silence at Nurarihyon's words.
"This man is pretty chill guy"(whisper)
Dulio whispered softly into Daniele's ear, who shrugged
Ibaraki Douji began his speech with a harsh cough
"We are here mainly because of Tamamo no Mae's death, is she dead or not ? "
"I guarantee that"
Nurarihyon said as he placed one hand on his chest
"I saw it disappear with my own eyes, permanently erased from existence by this brat here, no return, not even ash"
He said while pointing at Daniele
This caused Ura and Ibaraki Douji to look at him, along with all the Youkai that came with them.
However, Daniele responded calmly to their pressure without any tension
"I see...then we would like to join this agreement, may I accept that the Shinto Gods voted in favor"
He said as his eyes looked at where Suzaku and Ouryuu were
Ouryuu nodded calmly.
"Amaterasu-Ōmikami-sama said that she accepted, she will come in person later"
This created a slight sense of tension in the room.
After all, this wasn't a normal thing..... The Chief Goddess of Japan was coming to visit
The good thing was that it was accepted.
"Okay and Yasaka?"
After Nurarihyon calmed down, he returned to Yasaka
"Well, I already made a deal with Serafall and I was already saved by Heaven, so I already accepted the deal."
Almost all doubts disappeared after Yasaka's answer
"So that was all?"
Ura asked with his arms crossed, it was a hassle to get here and it was quite annoying that it was all for a short moment
"Actually, I have an idea."
Nurarihyon said while caressing his chin, which made Daniele feel bad because Nurarihyon was looking directly at him and Ouryuu!!!
"Hoh~ interesting, let's hear it"
Ura also showed a concerned reaction
"Well, that Lion King right there gave us a fun idea earlier, but thanks to Tamamo no Mae, that bitch stopped us from doing it.Let's settle our grudges before [the Japan's Sun] gets here!"
------------------------------------------------------------
Daniele pov
Kyoto Arena
Rest room
While I was doing the warm-up exercises right now, I couldn't help but sigh.
In essence, I still could not escape being a referee.
Seriously, damn Nurarihyon!
After the warm up I slowly walked front of the arena , it was basically a reinforced wooden arena with lots of seats for spectators in the corner...All the seats were full
----------------------------------------------------
"Here and there, get your snacks here while watching the fight between the Golden Lion and the Golden Dragon!!!"
"Drinks, fizzy or still, cold or lukewarm, don't et your throat get dry while watching the fight!"
"Don't forget to bet, place your bet here! Sacred Beast or Sacred Gear!!!"
-------------------------------------------------
My eyes turned to Yasaka, whose tail was wagging with pleasure in the V.I.P section. She's really going to make a fortune from this fight, isn't she?.....Note to self, ask for commission.
"I am sorry?"
I threw a dry glance at the speaker, Ouryuu, across from me.
"For what, to make me the referee, for the opening fight as I am the referee, or just because you are the one proposing this fight?"
"...all of them?"
I sighed as Ouryuu scratched the back of his head with a shy expression, it's really hard to be mad at someone younger than me
"I don't really regret it though, I was looking forward to the fight with you, after all Suzaku-san had been talking about you all along. "
"Excuse me"
I raised an eyebrow at Ouryuu's words.
"You see Daniele-san, when I was chosen as Ouryuu, the person who trained and guided me was Suzaku-san, I learned a lot from her and I heard a few of your stories too.So I want to try it myself, how strong is one of the people I respect the most in my heart , especially the one she respects "
When my eyes drifted towards Suzaku, who would be the referee of the match, she turned her head towards me.
When our eyes met for a moment, she nodded to us to come.
"Well.....don't cry to me if you lose"
"*chuckle* I'm sure... I'm not"
We both grinned the other way as we finally walked onto the arena
[Alright, I, as the head of the Himejima Family, will be the referee upon request]
--------------------------------------------------
Suzaku spoke to the amulet she held in front of her mouth
[Are both sides ready?]
Me and Ouryuu nodded
A small fire bird formed in Suzaku's hand
From her hand it slowly rose into the sky
[Start with a signal]
The bird rose high
A yellow aura appeared around Ouryuu, and his body was suddenly covered in white Touki.
[Are you going to go fist to fist ?]
< Well, let's try his strength>
[Okay, I have your approval, continue.]
My own Touki exploded around me
The bird had already climbed high enough... and exploded!!!
*Bammm!!!*
At that moment, me and Ouryuu disappeared from our place
When I found myself in the middle, my eight wings and halo showed themselves
Our fists collided as Ouryuu in front of me made his move, sending shockwaves into the surroundings.
I gained the upper hand in strenght as he stepped back for a moment
When I kicked him with my right leg, he bent down using his short height, pressing his right hand to the ground as my kick passed right in front of his face.
While he was kicking me with the sole of his left foot, I gathered Touki on my left foot, which was the only foot on the ground, and as the Touki exploded instantly, pushing me back enough to dodge, Ouryuu placed his left hand on the ground in addition to his hand on the ground.
As he threw himself up, he gave me a double kick in the air with the soles of both feet.
I slid backwards while blocking with my arms
Even though there was no visible damage, my arms were shaking slightly
[Physically low-medium around Ultimate-class]
"It's not over yet"
While Ouryuu was screaming, he created dragon aura projectiles around him and threw them at me.
†Magic arrows, Series of Lightning†
I created arrows around me that were twice as many as his bullets, and I fired them
As the lightning bolts and auras collided, the remaining lightning bolts flew straight at Ouryuu.
Ouryuu quickly threw five paper talismans in front of him.
He made various signs with his hands while muttering quietly.
The five talismans resisted lightning bolts while forming a yellow barrier in the shape of a Pentagram
I had a smile on my face, this could be more enjoyable than I thought
Let's see how strong my spells are against Onmyodo
†Lightning Spear Throw†
Five lightning spears more piercing than arrows formed around me, at this point, there is no need for chants to use this spell, I have already mastered it
As Ouryuu pulled out another talisman and stabbed his shield, his shield hit the ground and stone stalagmites flew out of the ground towards me.
When I threw lightning spears, the two sides collided with each other with an explosion and blocked each other.
Ouryuu suddenly jumped out of the smoke with Touki, once again engaging in close combat.
While the one on his right side was backhand punching me with his right arm, I blocked it with my own right hand.
At that moment, he was covered in a yellow dragon aura as Touki continuously accumulated in his free left hand.
In an instant, his left arm was covered in scales, tearing the sleeve of his suit apart
A sudden blow to my ribs threw me back
I suppressed the little blood that threatened to come out of my mouth.
[He uses the power of the Sacred Beast]
As Ouryuu lunged once more, many sharp rocks flew out of the ground and flew towards me.
"Counter Balance !"
At that moment, Bester jumped out from the shadows on the ground and wrapped himself around my body while turning into ropes from the shadows.
It transformed into a cloak that fit perfectly around my body, shining with an obsidian shine.
I grabbed the corner of Cloak and swung it while taking inside the sharp stones coming towards me.
When I turned around later, the sharp rocks that Ouryuu had thrown earlier flew back at him, much to his surprise.
He was thrown back by the impact as he crossed his arms to defend himself with Touki.
But before he could relax, shadow stripes reached out to him, wrapping around his left leg, neck, right arm and waist.
"Wai---"
Before he could finish his sentence I picked him up and slammed him onto the ground.
One arm reached out to the stripes as it created cracks in the ground...unfortunately, I have no intention of letting go that easily
In an instant, the red light that was advancing along the stripes from my Cloak, advanced towards Ouryuu, and when it finally reached him...
*Boom!!!*
The place where Ouryuu was located suddenly exploded with flames
"Unfortunately for you, Bester is quite good at fire."
With that, a dragon aura exploded in the area surrounded by fire, shattering the stripes and dispersing the fire.
There was no longer a human figure where Ouryuu had been before
His clothes were torn in places because of the burns.
His arms were completely covered with dragon scales, even his face had turned into a dragon's face, the person in front of me was a dragon man.
"Daniele-san..... I'm not holding anything back anymore"
Ouryuu's words made me smile
"Come as you wish!"
When Ouryuu extended his dragon arm towards me, it suddenly grabbed the air as if it was grasping it... I found myself in front of Ouryuu
As the other dragon arm moved towards my chest, the stripes from Cloak suddenly stuck into the ground and pulled me to the left.
"Thanks, buddy."
"Gowl!"
With a quick thank you to Bester, I focused on the Gold Touki-coated dragon fist flying towards me.
Of course his fist didn't hit me no, what met his fist was a....a golden axe!!!
When Dragon Fist and Regulus Nemea clashed,The Touki that spread through both of our bodies sent shock waves to the surroundings.
I had no choice but to use [Beast King Touki] so I pushed him back as the white life force around me turned purple-gold.
We both took a step back
[Well, the kid is pretty much at the Dragon King level now besides......we cut off his hand]
When I looked at Ouryuu's arm after Regulus' words, a cut was made as blood flowed from the golden scaled arm.
However, in my palms too
"Bester, full speed, you're in control"
"Gowl!!!"
With Bester's approval I jumped forward
At that moment, my foot that I had placed on the ground was buried in the shadow, and I appeared behind Ouryuu.
When I made a close range swing, Suddenly a wall of soil jumped out of the ground and passed between us.
I didn't stop again and smashed the wall, Ouryuu smashed the wall with me and as we collided again, the flying pieces of the wall turned into sharp rocks in an instant.
†Wall of Churning Wind†
The tornado around us shattered all the rocks, causing a scuffle in which we both pushed the other one.
Taking a step back, I spun around using the momentum and swung from the left.
He also attacked with his other arm
Tornado breaks up with a clash of fists and axe
At that point it became a collision course between the two of us.
My every swing was met with his fist.
We're tearing the arena apart with our Touki's painted in our unique colors!!!
But again, I got the upper hand on him because his arms were more injured.
At that moment, Ouryuu slammed his leg onto the ground and the ground on the ground changed shape as stone pillars emerged from random angles.
I blocked one with Regulus Nemea as it hit me but it threw me into the air
At that moment, a giant energy projectile made up of Ouryuu's Dragon Aura and Ki mixed together shot at me.
My eight wings opened at that moment, allowing me to change direction
Flying towards it at full speed, Ouryuu also threw down the seven talismans that shone with golden light and crushed his claws to the ground.
What is he planning?
"This is my last trump card, Daniele-san. "
When he hit his hands on the ground, the talismans were buried in the ground, while the seven lights were shining, the dragon parts of his body started to decrease and transferred to the ground.
I didn't stop either. As I approached him, a dragon's tail came out of the ground and collided with my axe.....Why am I flying back?
As soon as my feet touched the ground, they dragged, creating cracks in the ground.
In Ouryuu's vicinity, there was a giant eastern dragon made of rocks
[There are no cracks on his body?]
At that moment my mouth moved unconsciously
"He connected the 'Ki' from his Dragon Vein directly to the Dragon, basically being able to regenerate as much as it wanted "
[Okay, but how do you know that?]
"I... I don't know, I kind of felt it the moment I looked at it"
Really, why did I understand the working principle of this technique so easily???
"Whatever, and more importantly, doesn't sound like exactly what we're looking for?"
I felt an evil smile form on my face.
[*chuckle* exactly]
I attacked the rock dragon!
---------------------------------------------------
Third person pov
Arena V.I.P section -Church-specific section
"Why is Darling so withdrawn?"
Irina couldn't help but make a surprised comment while watching
Daniele, currently on the field, is constantly swinging his axe at the dragon, but the few cracks he can open are closing immediately
Ouryuu still didn't flinch, which was supposed to be a limitation of the technique
"I don't know, he didn't even use any favorites like [Switcheroo] or [Slip], let alone powerful spells."
Xenovia also spoke in confusion
"Is Dany-san losing?"
Asia asked in a sad tone
"Maybe he has a plan"
Also Rossweisse presented her own idea
"*chuckle* You're all are wrong"
Dulio said as he leaned on the railings while watching the match
"That kid is really something else"
Kiyotora also muttered as he leaned against the wall.
"Look~ Seiko also understands"
"Don't call me that!"
The harsh voice that came at that moment caused both of them to startle and stopped their argument.
"Enough with the two of you. And as for the four of you"
Griselda looked at the church quatron
"Dany is holding back in this fight because he wants to sharpen himself"
Seeing the girls' surprised expressions, she sighed and continued
"His current opponent can withstand a few hits with Regulus Nemea, of course with Balance Breaker the result would be completely different .That Dragon was perfect opponent for his current state"
"But...."
Xenovia was still not satisfied, but that was because of something else in particular.
.......
"Wow, even if he is a Longinus user, Ouryuu-sama is invincible."
"Of course, idiot, we're talking about the leader of the Five Principal Clans, what if he has Longinus?"
"Was this the child that the boss valued so much?"
"Hey watch your mouth you know he saving Yasaka-sama"
"Well, so others did all the work."
.......
With every word, blood was spurting into Xenovia's head.
She took a deep breath
She extended her hand towards Irina
If it were anyone else, they wouldn't understand what Xenovia wanted, but fortunately, Irina is not anyone else.
Childhood friend, rival, best friend , partner and sisters in love with the same man
All these names made it very easy for Irina to understand Xenovia.....besides, she was thinking the same thing
Irina created a holy sword in her hand
As usual, the silver sword had a note symbol on its handle this time.
"[Holy Voice] effect has been increased, I guarantee it"
Irina said while making the 'okey' sign with her index finger and thumb
"I'll join too."
Asia also entered between them
"Are you coming, Rossweisse?"
When Xenovia called her, the former Valkyrie was surprised, but the girls didn't wait for her and pulled her by the wrist, pulling her with them.
Of course, the other three people in the room were also watching with interest.
"Aren't you stopping them?"
Kiyotora asked Griselda while pointing at them with his finger.
"I'll let they... just this once."
Griselda would turn her head
"Hoh~ Griselda is also angry that our little Dany was humiliated~"
Dulio quickly turned his head and dodged the incoming light ball
------------------------------------
Daniele pov
Damn this is the best practice dummy of my life
No matter how much I hit it, it gets fixed immediately!!!
What should I do now---
"Dany!!!!! Stop playing games! Beat that brat!!!"
At that moment, I was stunned by the sound that echoed throughout the arena.
When I turned my head, Via was shouting at a sword
Irina, who was next to her, also shouted quickly
"That's right Darling! Don't lose to that Chibi!!"
Asia came right after
"I-If Dany-san wins, I'll give him a reward!"
Rossweisse didn't lag behind either
"S-so, ihhh, I...let me buy you dinner!"
The whole area seemed stunned
Again-
As my gaze shifted to Ouryuu, I could see an arrow with the word 'Chibi' piercing him and a rock with the word 'Brat' on top of his head.
.... poor boy
[It's like the game time is over, your princesses are waiting for your victory]
<*chuckle* it seems that way>
"It's time to end, Ouryuu"
As Ouryuu quickly regained consciousness, I rushed forward once more, this will be the last one for the day.
The stone eastern dragon also curled its body and swung its tail at me.
As I became more proficient in Senjutsu, I was able to control Regulus's aura more and more, and I honed this against the beloved stone dragon.
Now the last move is to focus the golden aura of Regulus in one place.
The blade of the axe is not enough, go much deeper, much much deeper!
To a single point right on middle the axe blade!
This is my new technique!
†Divisore Del Cielo†(Sky Divider)
At that moment the stone dragon........ was cut, its coiled body cut into each layer, smoothly
Ouryuu just stared in disbelief at the axe right in front of his face.
"My defeat"
Ouryuu simply raised both of his hands into the air, all the golden scales on his body disappeared
He slowly tried to stand up but I held him as he was about to fall from exhaustion.
"It was a good fight"
I didn't hesitate to praise Ouryuu, he would completely surpass Kiba or the current Issei
"I would feel better if I won"
he said it with a shy smile
"Don't say that, there is a difference in age and experience between us"
[Well, there's only a year or two between you, even at his age you were stronger than he is now]
I rolled my eyes with a smile when I saw the incredulous expression on his face.
"I'm serious, you're very strong. I'd like to fight you, but my beloved princesses demanded victory from me, you know."
When I said the last part with a wink, it was his turn to chuckle
"You really love them, don't you?"
I nodded
"Yes but more than that, they are my reason"
"What reason?"
"No matter what happens, no matter what I face, they and my family are undoubtedly my biggest motivation"
While we were chatting, Suzaku finally came to us, gave me a look I couldn't understand, then grabbed my hand and lifted it up.
"The winner is Daniele Berti!"
"""""Oooooooooo~~~!!!!""""""
It feels really good to win
-------------------------------------------------------
A while before the tournament started, I went to the girls.
Via came straight to me and grabbed the collar of my dress and pulled it down
There was zero hesitation there as she pressed she lips against mine.
Instead of avoiding the kiss, I pulled her closer as my arms wrapped around her waist.
She smiled at me when we parted
"Do we really need to be told everything?"
I kissed her forehead as she said it in a half-grunt, half-cheerful tone.
"Yes, now and in the future too"
Coming to me, Irina jumped straight into my arms
"Good fight Darling, but Xenovia is right, you held back too much."
She then said as she pinched my cheek
I reached out and took her hand from my cheek and intertwined our fingers.
"Well, I learned a good trick thanks to this, and besides---"
I kissed the back of her hand
"I got cheers from my lovely fiancés"
My gaze fell on Asia as she smiled
"So, do I get my reward?"
Asia's halo wings appeared as her cheeks turned red, and she motioned me to come closer with her hand.
As I leaned over she whispered a few things into my ear
....yes it's worth winning
Let's say Asia will then wear 'any' outfit I ask her to wear.
Oh right
"Rossweisse!"
"Yes!"
In response to my sudden shouting, she shouted too
"I'll have that meal later"
Rossweisse blinked and then let out a small laugh.
"Certainly"
"A-hem!"
We finally left with Griselda's voice
"It was a good fight Dany, but I agree with the girls, don't push yourself too hard in situations like this, you'll hurt yourself more."
"Understood, Griselda."
At that moment Dulio put his hand on my shoulder
"Let's forget about that, but what was the last technique , Me and Seiko are curious"
"Don't call me Seiko!!!!! But he's right"
I grinned at they question.
"It's basically a technique that gathers Regulus's aura in one place and maximizes its cutting power, the consumption is ridiculous but the return is worth it"
After that we talked about a few more things but finally the tournament started
-------------------------------------------------------
It was a bit strange to be in the referee's chair but I can't say it was bad either, of course not everything went smoothly
Case 1
Doumon member vs Kappa
This was clearly a pure water fight, until of course I intervened.
Just when Kappa was about to take control and win, I intervened
Shadow bands emerging from the ground completely tied the man up
Yes, I use Counter Balance as a referee
"W-what's going on!?"
I shrugged at Kappa's question.
"Doping substances are forbidden, dude"
"W-what are you talking about! This is my power! You're obviously on the people's side, otherwise where's your proof!?"
For some reason, it was clear from the evil grin he gave me that he believed I couldn't provide proof.
"Of course"
Unfortunately I can
"Wha---"
†I invoke Queen Mab, the Dream Fairy,
Open the door and invite me into dreams†
At that moment, while reflecting the memory in my mind, I deliberately made it huge so that everyone could see it.
[During the battle between Doumon and Kappa, Kappa threw a pill out of his mouth at the moment of the water flash]
At that moment, Kappa, who was completely white, closed his mouth completely
Case 2
Byakko member vs Yuki-Onna
This problem came from human
When he won the fight and was about to make his final deadly attack, a giant shadow punch suddenly appeared from under his feet and threw him into the corner.
"Yep disqualification ~ no lethal attack"
For some reason the man was looking at me in surprise.
"Are you really intervening?"
What nonsense is he talking about?
"Of course you know, I'm a referee and all that."
"B-but he's a Youkai---"
"So? Ahh~~ I see, look I'm not taking sides, human or Youkai follow the rules or--"
Regulus Nemea appeared in my hand
"---Let me be your next opponent"
It was nice to see him all white
There were other shenanigans throughout the day but towards the second half of the tournament there were constant rule violations that I don't know why... why!?
I later learned the reason
It seems that there was a fight between Youkai and humans, and the reason for the fight was to humiliate the other side so that they couldn't hide what they were doing to me.
During the fight between the two sides, all the contestants decided among themselves to determine the best and give an extra prize to the one who cheated without me noticing
... I will kill them.
Again, before I could perform this very respectful and necessary action, I was detained by a Dai-Youkai
Third person pov
In a room sat Daniele, Ibaraki Douji and Ura, right just the three of them
But the most crucial point here was that these two powerful Youkai bowed to the angel in front of them.
"You know there's no need for that."
When Daniele's voice was heard, the two of them slowly raised their heads.
"No, on the contrary, it's very necessary, Tamamo no Mae killed Shuten Douji-sama before, even if we finally defeated her, I... still was incapable of killing her."
Ibaraki Douji-nin's voice was dripping with sadness, while Ura bowed his head in sadness.
"She has finally died, I hope Shuten Douji-sama's soul can now find peace"
"I hope so"
Daniele also conveyed his own wishes
"Daniele Berti, you killed the greatest sinner for our race and even now I don't know how to thank you. "
He then handed me an oni mask that was quite small in comparison.
"I spoke with Nurarihyon about your background, I heard that you are a Beast Tamer, this mask is perfect for summoning Oni, As the leader of the Oni, I cannot sign a direct familiar pact with you, but I can establish an equal contract, if you wish, of course.I'm happy to help you whenever you need it. "
'Wait, didn't this Akeno's Power-up? Probably just a resemblance, right.... right?!"
[Not bad]
Regulus' voice in Daniele's mind made his mouth twitch.
[You have two god killer wolves, the other one is a straight Sacred Gear, I think it's not bad, it can even be considered praise ]
<.....I think that's true>
"I accept with pleasure"
He took the mask from him and carefully placed it in the space storage.
"So I have something too"
Ura's words caused the two people to look at him
He took something out of the space storage and handed it to Daniele.
"This....."
Daniele looked at the things in his hands strangely
This was a few cards, mainly black card with two flame red horns on it, the appearance of the horns was the same as Ura's
"These..."
Ura looked at me with a proud expression for some reason
"Do you know what Onigashima is famous for?"
"....Oni's and Momotarou right ???"
Ura grumbled for a moment when Momotarou's name was mentioned.
"Yeah but for the supernatural world , these are hot springs, we have the best hot springs in the supernatural world.Even the gods come for vacation .These are the VIP cards of the biggest resort I have, with these you can get the highest level service for free"
[*whistle* this is sweet]
[Don't underestimate Onigashima's hot springs, most importantly, Onigashima is one of the most limited places in the world with the highest life force, perfect for Senjutsu training.]
At that moment, the sound of money rang in Daniele's head
"Thanks"
He shook hands with Ibaraki Douji's first, then Ura.
When he finally got out of the room he went to the receptionist...he really needs a Hot Springs
"I'm sorry about this, dear guest, but both the women's and men's sections are currently fully booked!"
The Nekomata woman said as she bowed her head.
'Can't I really relax today?Although it's understandable for so many Youkai and humans that have come, but.....come on!'
"Isn't there another way?"
Nekomata thought for a moment and then her ears perked up.
"Actually, our mixed Hot Springs should be open, but for you angels... if you go quickly, you can at least spend some time there!"
Daniele sighed as he got directions from the receptionist, who finally apologized again, and set off.
Finally, he encountered a surprising person in front of the entrance
"....Suzaku"
------------------------------------------------
Daniele pov
How did it come to this?
I had entered Hot Springs, but I was not alone, not at all!
Suzaku was sitting right next to me, of course we kept our personal distance, but this woman had just placed the towel in front of her, which only emphasized her body!
"The fight with Ouryuu was pretty good."
"H-hmm? Ah yes, he was really strong, no surprise there since you were the one who trained him."
Suzaku made an almost inaudible sound of surprise.
"How.....
"Ouryuu said, eh you are an unexpectedly good teacher"
"When you say 'unexpected', what do you mean?"
The slightly touchy tone in Suzaku's voice made me want to laugh, but I quickly suppressed it.
"No, I think you will just focus on your own training."
"I can use my time correctly"
From that point on, the awkward silence between us returned.
*sigh* maybe I should go----
"I owe you a life, Daniele"
At that moment, I instinctively turned my gaze to her.
"I told you, you don't need to ---"
Before I could finish my sentence, Suzaku's index finger was pressed against my lips.
"Let me finish"
Suzaku interrupted me and continued
Even though her body was almost naked at the moment, I didn't take my eyes off her face, it was obvious that it was an important matter.
"I owe you my life, so......can I be one of the 'reasons' for you to come back alive? "
She said as she slowly lifted herself up from the water and sat in the corner
She asked as she placed one hand on her breast
Behind the starry night sky, a woman with raven black hair and flaming eyes, her cheeks slightly flushed, confessed to me.
That's right, it was a confession without any doubt.
*Ba-dump*Ba-dump*Ba-dump*
My heart skipped a few beats at the sight before me, the slight warmth rushing to my cheeks, and when I opened my mouth at that moment, the thought that filled my mind did not allow me to make a sound.
'What will happen to her family?'
The Himejima family was the strictest of the Five Principal Clans, going so far as to kill their own families.
I'm not afraid of them, but.....this is the Clan that Suzaku worked so hard to change, I...
"I understand"
When I came to myself, Suzaku's heartbreakingly sad vermillion eyes stared at me for a moment before being overshadowed by her raven hair.
Wait, it's not like that!
When I extended my hand, her body disappeared among the ashes of the fire.
I could only stare blankly at the towel that was left where it was a moment ago.
No damn it!!!!
For God's sake!!!
Why!!!!
The surrounding Hot Springs water was pushed to the corner as my wings and Halo appeared
"Let's stop for now Daniele, otherwise you'll destroy the Hotel"
At that moment, a familiar voice coming from behind me made me feel like cold water was poured on me.
Third person pov
"Yasaka"
Daniele looked at Yasaka who was sitting on the stones on the opposite side, the towel wrapped her body not like Suzaku did.
"Fufu~, we should stop meeting at the hot spring "
Unfortunately, Daniele was not in a position to enjoy it at the moment while Yasaka giggled with her sweet voice.
"Uh.....yeah"
Hearing the boy's sad tone, Yasaka put aside her mockery and walked over to him.
"Can you move aside?"
Daniele moved aside without saying anything.
She sat down next to him
"Are you upset because you rejected her?"
"No, I did not reject it"
Daniele shook his head in negative and continued
"I was just thinking about the Himejima family's reaction and she.....misunderstood."
Yasaka reached out and patted his head as she nodded in understanding.
Her eyes were so compassionate
"Himejima is the most strict of the Five Principal Clans, it is no secret that Suzaku Himejima reformed the Clan to surpass its former self.Even the Five Powerful Families that serve the gods suffer from their own unique problems "
Daniele's eyes widened at that moment, Yasaka's words opened the way for him!
"That's it.....Thanks Yasaka!!!"
He quickly turned around and hugged Yasaka, who made a 'Hya!' sound.
Basically, the Leader of Kyoto is one of the most beautiful women in the supernatural world, even the fact that they were both naked with only towels on, Daniele didn't care.
All of them were unconsciously ignored and replaced by the utmost gratitude to Yasaka
Even when he broke the hug and jumped out, Yasaka still stood there motionless.
When she finally came to, her beautiful face was adorned with red, while nine tails waved merrily behind her.
"Ara~ Ara~ you caught me off guard there, Daniele, what a sinful angel~"
On the other side, when Daniele returned to his room, he wanted to talk about something serious with the girls and Lavinia and Shigune were also called.
The next day
In a large tatami-floored room
Kanto Youkai Group
Kyoto Youkai Group
Three Bible groups(Fallen + Devils + Angels)
These three groups were sitting in an elegantly designed room, looking at the two figures in front of them.
One of the figures was a man
Looks like a middle-aged man who has black hair and black eyes, and his body is extremely muscular. His hair is in a style that was common in old Japan. He wore a loose white garment and a hakama. The clothes on his wrists and knees are tied with cords, allowing free movement. A shizuri sash was warped around his waist and a magatama was dangling from his neck as a necklace.
This man is Japan's storm god.....Susanoo!
The first time Daniele saw him, the smell that came to his nose was a storm, rain, lightning, hail and many other types of nature seemed to have come together in this man, he was emitting a frightening power.
Daniele had no doubt that if Loki had gone toe-to-toe with this man, he would have lost.
The other person's appearance was unknown because her body was behind a curtain, but everyone here knew her identity.
Amaterasu-Ōmikami, the Sun And Chief Goddess Of Japan
Suzaku and Ouryuu were respectfully waiting on either side of them.
"I heard about the deal"
Everyone focused on the answer when the feminine tone came from behind the curtain.
"As I said to the heads of the Five Principal Clans, I support this, it is time for Japan to unite and that organization that calls itself the Khaos Brigade has set foot on our territory"
Susanoo growled as he emitted a dark blue aura at the mention of the Khaos Brigade
"But first.... Daniele 'Abe' Berti , Dulio Gesualdo, step forward "
When Dulio and Daniele looked at each other, they both nodded and stepped forward
"You two, as foreigners, did us a favor by killing Tamamo no Mae, and then you also made us cleanse our lands, tell me, and I'll fulfill your wish as best I can. "
This left them both stunned, but for Daniele, he mentally pumped his fist.
'Nice!'
"If Dany won't do it, I'll be the first one to do it"
Dulio said with a smile as Daniele nodded
Dulio started to name a few at that point
Finally, after counting nine, he continued
"These are ---"
But he was unexpectedly interrupted by the Chief Goddess of Japan
"Orphanages, I know, keep going"
This was a moment of surprise even for Dulio, but when he finally nodded, he continued
"I would like to request that resources be provided, especially to these places"
The Chief Goddess behind the curtain remained silent for a moment as Susanoo raised an eyebrow at Dulio.
"Agreed, are you sure that's all?"
Dulio just nodded.
"It's enough for me, thank you very much"
"And you Daniele 'Abe' Berti, what is your wish?"
Daniele let out a breath as his eyes flickered to Suzaku's for a moment.
Before the raven-haired woman had time to be surprised, Daniele looked straight at the curtain where Amaterasu was.
"I want Suzaku Himejima's hand"
.....
""""What!?""""
Almost everyone in the room screamed, even Susanoo's mouth was open in shock.
".....can you repeat that?"
Amaterasu's voice was now filled with astonishment from behind the curtain
"I request your permission to become engaged to Suzaku Himejima"
"......"
Amaterasu was shocked, she doesn't understand those who came from this church, she told them everything and these two.... did they only want this?
More importantly, who is she, the god of love, why are you asking her that?!
" .....Fine. Whatever "
At that moment, Daniele slowly walked towards Suzaku
When he stood in front of her the two looked at each other
"I don't remember admitting anything, not even a confession."
Suzaku spoke as her hair shadowed her eyes
[You know , she right]
"Suzaku, will you be my fiance ?"
Suzaku extended her hands without saying anything, and a dove-sized firebird appeared between her hands, surrounded by red lights.
"Here, even though I find your taste strange"
This caused the entire area to become silent.
''''''''Does this count as rejection?''''''
That was the common thought of everyone there.
Daniele looked at Suzaku(Sacred Beast) who was looking at him in surprise.
The bird seemed confused
At that moment Suzaku spoke again
"If you're going to do it, do it directly, no shortcuts"
"Then Suzaku Himejima---"
"There are many Suzaku Himejima's, even my aunt was almost one of them, should I leave out the boys?"
'Is she taking revenge for yesterday?'
Even though these thoughts crossed Daniele's mind, he dismissed them the moment he saw Suzaku's serious eyes.
'No, what she wants is for me to confess to 'her' ,she already gave me the clues...damn it, I should have figured it out beforehand.'
Daniele thought with his eyes closed as he searched for the clue Suzaku gave him. Suzaku didn't bother him, she just waited for his answer, but the people around they were just as curious.
Susanoo in particular watched as he drank from the gourd-shaped flask in his hand, his eyes full of amusement.
'She mentioned the maple , Could it be 'Kaede'...no she said it just the beginning.Another meaning of the name Kaede.....and how I see her, wait a minute how does she know how I see her. I just told my mom..."
At that moment, the pieces in Daniele's mind came together
He opened his golden eyes and came face to face with Suzaku's vermillion eyes in front of him.
' - Beautiful but I can't handle it - That's how I described Suzaku, Kaede doesn't just mean 'maple' it also means 'beautiful' .Suzaku is more beautiful than I've ever seen her, at the same time the end of the night and the beginning of the light . This name also means 'bright beauty' and 'Sunrise' '
"As one of my future wives, will you accompany me...'Akemi'"
"Saying 'one of my wives', mentioning other women while confessing to a woman is actually rude "
Suzaku...no, even as Akemi said this, her arms wrapped around his neck as her body stepped forward
"I will be better in the future"
Daniele muttered as he put his arm around her waist and bowed his head.
"I won't let you forget"
After their words, Daniele and Akemi, whose her beautiful face were adorned with red flowers, shared the kiss that sealed their relationship with everyone present as witnesses.
A single tear of happiness flowed from the corner of Akemi's closed eyes.
Griselda smiled as she rolled her eyes as Dulio and Kiyotora quickly made confetti of light, and Daniele's other three fiancées approached and hugged them
.... all this while being broadcast live on Devil-Net.... the culprit is Azazel!
