Capítulo 22: Is it wrong to be curious about the mysteries of my home world?
"H-he just confessed to me, right." – Kanae muttered like a broken recorder with a daze look.
She was shocked to the core.
Shinobu was snickering holding back her laughter.
"To think a god will be chasing after my sister. Truly, my sister is amazing. And a kid at that. To think that my great sister is into young boys, haha."
The sarcasm in her voice is clear for anyone to identify.
Shinobu did not know that she just dodged a bullet by taking interest in Giyu.
Kanae gave Shinobu a glare feeling annoyed which the latter completely ignored enjoying the moment.
'H-he really did confess to me.'
Kanae couldn't erase Kai's confession on her mind even though she's doing her best to forget it.
The more she tries to forget it the more the memory returns.
Images Flash before her eyes, the memories of the time Kai stepped in and saved her.
She couldn't stop the blush from creeping through her face.
Unbeknownst to Kanae she had developed a strange fetish.
She found young boys attractive.
Shinobu ignoring Kanae's previous glare and seeing her current state is grinning from ear to ear.
She's happy for her sister.
Even though Kai is a kid the ideals of mortals doesn't seem to apply to him so Shinobu deny her own common sense when it comes to Kai.
She just hopes her sister will be happy.
She look around the devastated land and she couldn't help but let out a tired sigh.
*Sigh*
She recalled the fight that just happened minutes ago in this very place and the following events that occurred thereafter.
It's like a dream to her.
The upper moon two demon were defeated by a kid who turned out to be an almighty god who came to save her sister, changing her fate, granting them blessings and even confessed to her sister.
She still couldn't believe that all of that stuff happened.
She unsheathed her sword and she could feel how light it was just like an almost weightless feather.
She smiled looking up at the sky grateful to Kai.
She has always been insecure when it comes to her strength.
However, after receiving Kai's blessing she could tell that she might be able to put a fight against Gyomei Himejima in the contest of strength.
There's also this skills given to her, a miracle if she must labeled it.
Powers akin to gods, abilities that have the power to directly interfere or manipulate causality.
Kanae look at her sister's melancholic expression as Shinobu look at the bright moon hanging in the clear night sky.
"Sis we better go. I want to inform Oyakata-sama about what happened today." – Shinobu said.
"Is informing them a good idea?" – Kanae asked a bit worried.
Shinobu was a bit surprised to her sister's words.
She hadn't expected her to think twice about informing Oyakaya-sama.
Well considering the topic of discussion she finds it reasonable for her sister to be more thoughtful.
"Kai might be a young god but he isn't an idiot. I can tell it, he is sharper and smarter than he looks. And he didn't advice us to not disclose any information. He might have taken it into account that we'll going to inform Oyakata-sama and the rest."
Shinobu shared her own assumption.
Well she isn't really wrong.
She hit the nail precisely.
Kanae just dazedly looks at her sister, hesitating.
"Would they even believe us?" – Kanae asked.
Her question is pretty reasonable.
Who would believe them if they claimed that a god killed an upper moon two demon to rescue Kanae and then blessed the two of them.
She skipped the part about the confession.
"Why would they not? Would we even joke to something like this. And if they don't we can just beat them into believing us." – Shinobu said with a evil grin.
She really wanted to test her newfound strength.
"Eh, violence isn't good, Shinobu." – Kanae step forward and pinch Shinobu in the ears.
"Ouch, ouch."
"Sis, control your strength you are far more stronger than before your going to rip my ears."
Shinobu was literally screaming for Kanae to let her go.
"Eh, sorry."
Kanae quickly apologized for forgetting that part.
After the short exchange between the sisters they left the devastated scene and quickly headed straight to where the demon slayer corps was carrying news that would shock everyone.
…
---Infinity Castle---
Inside one of the chambers a lone man that has the same get up as Michael Jackson has a pissed anger filled expression on his face.
This man is Kibutsuji Muzan the demon king of Demon Slayer.
He might not like the Doma's attitude towards him but Doma's talent and power is genuine and undeniable.
The death of Doma is a big impact to the upper moon demons.
"Nakime, summon all the upper moon demons."
Muzan ordered the woman with pale and grayish complexion, who had sharp, blue-stained nails and notably red lips which sharply contrasted the tone of her skin.
And the sound of Biwa followed.

[I advise you to avoid creating Ultimate Skills for now. Your soul even though supported by your unique Spiritual and Astral body couldn't handle more burden as for unique skill it doesn't seem to have a problem no matter how many unique skills you have.] – Rafael said in a stern tone.
"That's certainly is strange. How can I not have any more ultimate skill yet I can have a limitless amount of unique skills?"
[The matter is a great mystery to me as well.]
"Well if you couldn't figure it out neither can I."
I decided to put the matter of ultimate skill and unique skills to the back of my mind at the moment as for the subject that's my soul I've already come up with a solution to it and after that the matter of limited ultimate skills shouldn't be a problem.
"Thank you, Rafael-chan. But isn't the quest a bit exaggerated, it was supposed to be a SSS Rank Quest yet Doma didn't even put up a challenge except when I am holding back."
I asked this because I'm pretty disappointed to the outcome of our fight.
[And who's fault is that?]
"…Eh…"
[The quest difficulty was given to you turned out like that due to your recent power up. The Golden Quest Ticket measures your overall capabilities during the time you received it. The Golden Quest Ticket is nothing but a mere item and doesn't have an ego of it's own to conveniently reanalyzed your capabilities after your power up. You cannot really blame it, you're just too absurd to be able to surpass yourself hundreds of times in a span of half a year. The half a year expiration limit is so you can prepare and it turned out you just overturned the quest. The quest doesn't even qualify as a C Rank Quest when it comes to you.]
"So, that's it."
After the lengthy chat with Rafael I decided it's time to returned to my home reality and world. I didn't get to meet Goddess Gaia as she was deep asleep due to my presence it may even be a hibernation as for Ophis she seem to have fallen asleep but for a different reason, she's just slothful.
I'm a bit envious of these two. Having such thoughts Rafael scoffs at me which I ignored as I entered the portal back home.
I appeared just before the boundary barrier that both shields and imprisons both Tenkai and Genkai I don't really have a prior understandings or knowledge about the history of Danmachi as it wasn't mentioned in the novel but I'm sure there must be a pretty deep secret mystery behind the barrier or I should say cage.
As of now I am sure only I have the power to enter and leave this prison.
"Hey, Rafael do you think I am able to tear open this barrier?"
[Based on my analysis it seems impossible.]
"Eh, it's impossible even though I have the power of a Tier 17 existence."
I was shocked to hear Rafael's replied as I didn't really put the barrier in my eyes as I didn't feel any danger or resistance against it.
[Based on the analysis I've did it seem this barrier or referred to as a prison was created by a entity above Tier 19 a existence beyond you by leaps and bounds.]
*Gulp*
"Um, better ignore the barrier for now, I don't want to pissed someone I don't have a chance of fighting."
[A reasonable judgement.]
No wonder the natural laws of Danmachi are far stronger and more restrictive compared to Demon Slayer/DxD World. The reality, cosmos, universe or whatnot it's in is created by someone overpowered enough to compare me to an ant.
'Better avoid poking the hornet ness for now.'
Thinking so I opened a portal to where Haruhime was and entered it and the moment I took my first step in the mortal plane I can feel the chains of natural laws binding me.
My Tier 17 power immediately dropped to Tier 3.
I could tell that in this land I couldn't even use that one at a time Tier 17 last ditch attack of mine.
