*****

As I said that, I saw a visible reaction from the shadow in front of me. I was satisfied, but that feeling changed as the shadow opened her mouth.

"You… How come you are here?" The girl behind the shadow asked me such a question.

"No, how come you are alive?" Added the girl.

I was confused by what she meant, that was until she uncovered the curtain and I saw her figure. I almost dropped my cup and bottle because of my surprise, but I managed to hold them. My mouth was opened wide when I saw her black hair and black eyes.

I know that girl. But, she was not supposed to be here, not in this world. How?

"How?" I asked her.

At the same time, the curtains on my sides were opened too. On the left side were a bunch of youkai that was familiar to me. Familiar as in I remembered them from somewhere, not exactly the real world. Some of them were crying while some of them were shouting in delight as they saw me.

On the right side were another bunch of familiar youkai, but they were looking at me as if I am their enemy. But, I focused my gaze on the girl in front of me and waited for her answer.

"I wonder. I was sent to this world after a naked girl appeared in front of me. Those guys beside you were in the same state as me. Now, I have 2 memories. One of my memories was as the leader of Kyoto Ayakashi, Hagoromo Gitsune. while the other was the memory of my time as the wife of the second lord of pandemonium, Yamabuki Otome. Now, how are you alive, and why are you here, Rihan-sama?" Asked the girl in front of me.

'That girl again? Why? Why did she do all of this?'

I can't say anything. I am not Rihan, I am Nura Riku. I did have the appearance of Nura Rihan, but I am not him. The shout from the youkai on my life was that of delight. They are happy that they met their former leader again, Nura Rihan.

I turned to the left and saw a big youkai with dark skin and white hair shouting 'Rihan!!' with tears running down his face, he was Aotabo, one of the Nura Clan's youkai. The long-haired youkai with monk outfit beside him tilted his hat and smiled, he was known as Kurotabou, also one of the Nura Clan's youkai.

But I am not him. That's why I answered the girl, Hagorome Gitsune in front of me. Although she has the appearance of Yamabuki Otome, she introduced herself as Hagoromo Gitsune first.

I turned to look at her and introduced myself. "I am not Rihan. My name is Nura Riku, the son of the East Youkai Faction's leader, Nurarihyon."

I drank the sake on the cup in my right hand as I slammed down the bottle in my left hand to the ground.

"Don't mistake me with someone else, Miss." I smiled at her and closed my right eye. It became my habit since I did this repeatedly.

The youkai that was shouting happily on my left suddenly went quiet. I thought that they understood that I am not Rihan, but they shouted louder after I introduced myself.

"""WOAAAHHH!!!"""

"Nura clan existed here too!!" Shouted Aotabo as he wiped his tears from his face.

"It was a good sign. We could finally move away from this village." Said Kurotabou.

As they shouted in joy, a blonde-haired guy wearing a green Kimono stood up.

"Wait!" He shouted to the other youkai.

I looked at him and saw that he has no neck. Kubinashi, huh. He was a youkai that was invited by Rehan in Edo, his loyalty and respect towards Rihan is the top amongst the other youkai.

I was interested in him. He approached me and stopped by my side.

"Are you sure that you are not Rihan-sama?" Asked Kubinashi.

"I am not. My name is Nura Riku, I told you twice now." As I answered Kubinashi, he suddenly took out strings and controlled them to bind me.

I was ready for an attack since I make my appearance known, I have changed Meikyo Shisui into Kyouka Suigetsu and let my fake do the talking.

Kubinashi was skilled, in no less than a second, he controlled his strings to tie my fake body. As he tightened his strings, I smiled at him and made my fake disappear. I appeared again beside Hagoromo Gitsune and rested my left hand on her shoulder.

"Don't get that aggressive, I am here just to invite a strong youkai to join my Hyakki Yakkou."

Seemingly disturbed by my hand, Hagoromo Gitsune slapped it away from her shoulder and looked at me.

"You are truly the same species. Even Nurarihyon's offspring in another world has the same personality as the old one."

I looked at Hagoromo Gitsune and smiled. "Well, thank you for your compliment. So you came from another world? That's interesting."

I disappeared again and reappeared beside Kubinashi and tapped his shoulder. "Don't be so down, you are good. You even imbued your Fear in your strings, I never saw any youkai do that before. Well, only me and my old man can use Fear so I am surprised that you can use Fear too."

Kubinashi looked at me with a smile and said. "Truly. Even if you have a different name, you acted like him."

As he said that, he turned to the rest of the Nura Clan's Youkai who have a smile on their face. They nodded their head together before Kubinashi turned to me.

"Allow me to join your Hyakki Yakkou, Riku-sama." Kubinashi bowed his head.

Following him, the rest of the Nura Clan's youkai also bowed their head and shouted.

"Allow us to follow you! Riku-sama!"

Those guys, I didn't invite them yet and they wanted to follow me with their own accord? Was it because I have the same appearance as Rihan? Or was it because of their loyalty towards Nura Clan?

But, I am grateful to them. I now know the goal of the girl that reincarnated me here. She wanted entertainment, and to change the course of this world, huh. Fine, after all this is the world that I lived in now, so I will not complain if she transported the whole Nura Clan's Youkai to this world.

Now, the problem remains. I turned to Hagorome Gitsune, extended my right hand towards her, and smiled. "How about you join my Hyakki Yakkou too?"
