Chương 27: Chapter 26: Rikuo: Oldman Are You Sure You Are Not Cooking Me...
Nura Clan...
Rikuo returned home after attending today's class as usual. When he entered the compound, he was greeted by the Nura Clan's yokai, who were waiting for him excitedly.
"Welcome back, young master!!!"
When he slid the door open, they greeted him enthusiastically.
"____"
"What happened? Why are you guys so excited?"
Looking at the excited yokai in confusion, Rikuo asked them after a moment of stunned silence.
He hadn't expected them to be eagerly waiting for him.
"How can we not be excited, young lord? We are going to witness your yokai side unlocking."
Karasu Tengu, who was flying at his height, explained to him.
"____"
Rikuo was shocked when he heard there was a medicine to help him unlock his yokai powers, and that his grandfather had brought it for him from the Continental.
"Now they're selling medicines?"
Hearing that his grandfather brought the medicine from the Continental Hotel, Rikuo asked in confusion.
"Yes, young lord. Today, Hotel Continental announced the opening of their item store, which consists of many different kinds of magical things."
Seeing the confused look on Rikuo's face, Atoba explained to him, nodding his head.
"Yeah, there are also many types of thread that are resistant to fire, water, oil, etc.," Kubinashi added with an excited face.
In the past few years, many things have changed in the life of Yokai, which even made Rikuo impressed.
He had previously thought yokai wouldn't follow rules or be bound to any laws except those of the clans.
But now, everything had changed after Leo arrived in Ukiyoe Town.
"Rikuo-sama, the lord has summoned you."
Kejoro came to inform Rikuo that Nurarihyon had summoned him.
With a nod, Rikuo moved towards the courtyard where Nurarihyon would usually be during this time, having his tea.
When Rikuo arrived, Nurarihyon was waiting for him beside a big cauldron, which was boiling with warm water.
"Um~ right temperature... Oh~ Rikuo, come here. You're here at the right time. Now, strip your clothes."
Nurarihyon, who was seriously reading the manual in his hand and preparing something, called Rikuo over and suddenly asked him to take off his clothes.
"What??? Gramps... gramps, what do you mean?"
Rikuo was startled by his grandfather's request.
"Come on, boy. The water has boiled to the right temperature. Now, enter inside."
Checking the temperature, Nurarihyon urged him to enter the cauldron.
"____"
Not understanding anything, his grandpa stripped him and threw him inside the cauldron.
After throwing Rikuo into the cauldron, Nurarihyon took a large amount of salt in a big bowl, put it inside, and started stirring.
After a few minutes, he added a huge bowl of pepper and a handful of peach leaves into the cauldron.
"____"
"Old man, are you sure you're not cooking me, right?"
Seeing his grandpa pouring salt, pepper, and many other ingredients, Rikuo asked with a twitching eye.
"I'm following the instructions provided in the manual. Now, Rikuo, I will pour in the potential unlock potion. You will feel sleepy and itchy, but you should not succumb to sleep. That way, the potion will be more effective."
Giving the instructions, Nurarihyon took a tiny bottle containing the potential unlock potion and poured it into the cauldron.
Bubble... bubble...
The water inside suddenly turned from colourless to sky blue, and many bubbles began bubbling on top of it.
Immediately, Rikuo started feeling sleepy but was kept awake by Nurarihyon, who called him to keep him engaged.
Hotel Continental...
Leo and Mavis were playing soccer on the PlayStation, sitting on the couch.
After learning how to play games from Leo, Mavis liked to play them in her free time.
So today, after the meeting, she challenged Leo to a match, which he gladly accepted with a smile.
They spent hours playing many matches together, and each time, Leo won.
Even though Mavis had learned to play the games, she still lacked the experience to play neatly without making fatal mistakes, which caused her to concede many goals.
"Humph~ why am I always the one losing to you?"
Pouting with narrowed eyes and an irritated expression on her face, Mavis looked at Leo, who was smirking at her.
"Sigh~ what should I do? I am a pro."
With a mock sigh, Leo grinned and teased her.
Mavis tried to punch his grinning face but missed.
"Don't dodge it... let me hit you."
Seeing Leo dodge her punch easily, Mavis complained that he should let her hit him.
"Oh... my Mavy Wavy... my little fangs... don't be angry."
Seeing the threatening look she was giving him, Leo's grin spread wider as he teased her further, imitating Dracula.
This caused her to lunge at him, headlock him tightly, and start scolding him. Both of them fell back on the couch.
"____"
"____"
Seeing their awkward position, Mavis blushed, released him, and was about to get up.
But she was stopped by Leo, who suddenly caught her by the hands and pulled her back.
"Now, let's have another match, shall we? But this time, it will be a thug war. What do you say?"
Holding her by her wrist, Leo whispered in her ear while kissing her neck lightly.
"Umm~ you... you don't think I don't know what you're thinking?"
"Smooch~"
With fake anger, she bit his neck and started kissing him fiercely, and the next showdown began between them.
After several hours...
Leo and Mavis were lying on the bed, with Mavis lying on top of him.
[DING...]

Leo looked at the mission status, noticing that the mission to help Rikuo inherit the Nura Clan was progressing quickly.
'It seems like Nurarihyon gave the potion to Rikuo, huh...'
With this thought, Leo closed his eyes and drifted into sleep.
Kyoto...
Keikain Onmyoji Headquarters...
A group of elderly men were sitting in the meeting hall, discussing something very seriously. They were waiting for someone with serious expressions.
"Respected elders, we have succeeded in contacting Hotel Continental."
A man entered the meeting room, bowed respectfully, and delivered the news.
Sigh~
With relieved sighs, all the elders present in the room looked at each other, seeing the same expressions of relief on each other's faces. It seemed as if a huge weight had been lifted off their shoulders.
