The idea of unifying the Chubu's supernatural underworld was daunting, but the potential benefits were undeniable.
After I decided to summon someone as the spearhead for this conquest, for the next few days I tried to learn more about the history of the region and its supernatural factions especially the youkais.
Fortunately, in this modern day information could be searched easier with internet. And sometimes in between of my lessons with Shigure-san I also asked her about those things because as someone who comes from one of Five Principal Clans, she should be knows something which unavailable to general public.
And the more I learned, the more I realized the complexity of the task ahead.
The region was a patchwork of youkai's tribal disputes, rogue youkais, and powerful individuals, each with their own agendas.
And because of that, I conclude that for the conquest of this Chubu region and for the one spearheading it, I need to summon someone who's strong enough to dominate and conquer them.
One evening, as I sat surrounded by books, doing the homework given by Shigure-san yesterday, I saw Sakuya-san comes to me with a tray.
"You've been working hard, Rey-sama."
Sakuya-san said with a smile while serve me a cup of tea.
"Yeah. Thanks, Sakuya-san."
I said and thanked her.
Sakuya-san then sit beside me. It seems she wants to accompany me in my self-study session.
"Rey-sama, about the summoning, have you decided when would you do it?"
She asked as I paused my study to sip the warm tea.
"Hm?"
I was a bit surprised and confused why she suddenly asked about the summoning.
But then I nodded slightly.
"Yeah, I did. Later on Saturday at late night. And we'll do it here."
Yeah. I already decided about it.
We'll do it here at right at the back of our mansion. Because fortunately this mansion quite secluded and far from the village. And right behind our backyard was forest too. And I decided to do the summoning at late night because even though we'll surely put a barrier first for preparation, there's no guarantee that other people will suspicious that there's some alarming activities here if we do it when it's still daylight.
And actually it'll be better if we just do it at the Underworld because it's easier to find some secluded place there, but I decided to not to because it's quite troublesome if we go back and forth just for that.
"I see.... How about the wish? What kind of youkai would you summon?"
Sakuya-san asked again.
And hearing that question, I smiled a bit.
"Oni."
I replied shortly and sipped my tea again.
"Oni?"
Sakuya-san looks a bit dumbfounded with my answer. Her expression as if questions me, 'Why Oni? Isn't that too common?'
"Yeah."
Why did I decided to choose Oni even though they're the most commonly found youkai tribe?
First, the last Leader of Chubu's underworld, Togakushi no Kijou aka Sarashina-hime, was an Oni. Tsumugi and Yunagi, her descendants are Oni too.
And secondly was because Oni even though they're quite common, they're a famously strong youkai tribe too. Asides from Sarashina-hime, there were several other famous and strong Oni along the history of Japanese Supernatural-sides like Shuten-doji, Ibaraki-doji, Suzuka-gozen, Ootakemaru, etc.
That's my reasonings why I chose Oni.

Saturday late night, as I planned before, I will do the summoning using my «Serene Summoning» Balance Breaker.
I together with my three family members, Scathach-sama, Kulshedra-san, and Sakuya-san then went to the forest depth under the darkness of night.
After we found quite a good clearing, then we did preparations with putting barriers which enough to cover radius about a hundred meters around the clearing.
The function of the barriers were of course to prevent strangers from approaching and disturbing us. Also to prevent other people beside us inside the barrier knows the process and the phenomenon which occurs because of the summoning process.
After the preparation was done and all were ready, Scathach-sama, Kulshedra-san, and Sakuya-san stood besides me.
And then, I started to carry out the summoning procedure.
"«Serene Summoning»...."
I activated my Sacred Gear, «Serene Summoning», and a golden staff with a crystal on the tip appeared in my right hand.
Next, I call out my «Infinity Star Flame» and before long, a purple-black ouroboros appeared and floated in the palm of my left hand.
After the two appeared, I brought the fire ouroboros in my left hand closer to my Sacred Gear's golden scepter.
"Combine...."
The purple-black flame Ouroboros then moves and keep circulating around the golden scepter in an infinity (∞) symbol.
"...."
After that, I closed my eyes and grabbed the golden scepter with my two hands.
And, in my heart, I wishes to summon someone, a strong Oni.
Someone who's strong enough and capable to dominate, conquer, and charismatic enough to control a bunch of ruffians.
"...."
With that wish, then I opened my eyes and started chanting,
<< I, the crownless king. >>
<< In the unconnected worlds and universes. >>
<< For the dreams and hopes of infinities. >>
<< For the ambitions that transcend times and spaces. >>
<< With the fire of my desire, I will connect with you! >>
After the chanting finished, I tapped my golden Sacred Gear staff onto the floor and shouted,
"Infinite Parallel Overwrite Summoning!"
*ding*
Then, with myself at the center, a geometric circle of purple-black flame appeared which then continues to expand to a radius of around five meters.
"...."
And after waiting for a few while, up to about ten minutes, suddenly the geometric circle of purple-black flame widened to a radius of about ten meters and became even brighter and rose to a height of ten meters also.
That's the sign that the figure from another world which found correspond with my wish were about to be summoned and come to this world.
I don't know who or what is exactly the summoned figure like.
I only knows that the one being summoned will definitely accordant to my wish, a strong Oni.
And I also wished that the summoned person was not someone whose the power level at God-class because I also intend to make them a member candidate for my Peerage.
"Soon...."
Honestly I'm quite excited and can't wait to find out.
And after waiting silently for about half an hour, we saw a tall silhouette appeared inside the summoning circle.
And after the circle and wall of purple-black flames faded, we saw....

After the summoning circle faded, not far in front, we saw an unusually tall, white-green-haired, horned young woman with one her hand covering her eyes as if she just saw something dazzling and her other hand carrying a long black club.
Well.... She clearly looks like typical Oni with her tall frame, horns, and club.
"Eh?"
The woman looks surprised and dumbfounded after she lower her hand and opened her eyes.
"Wha-wha-wha-wha-wha...."
Now she looks in lost for words with her expression still in astonish.
"Hm?"
I tilted my head slightly at her strangeness.
"What the hell's happennneeeedddddd!!!!!???? Where is this plaaaacccceeee!!!!????"
She exclaimed loudly after looking around her confusedly and a bit panickedly.
"Uhh.... Are you okay?"
I felt compelled to talk to her but I don't know how to start so I decided to just asking something template.
"Hm!? You! Who are you!? And where is this!?"
She turned to me and asked me after she heard my voice and saw me and my family, realized that there were other people besides her here.
"Uhh.... My name is Rey. And this three are Scathach-sama, Kulshedra-san, and Sakuya-san."
I introduced myself and the three others besides me.
"Where's this place!? How could I suddenly be here!?"
She asked again with her club now pointed at us.
"Well.... Please calm down. I'm quite sure that's my fault.... Could you tell me what were you doing before you suddenly realized that you're here in another place?"
I replied her with a bit wry smile and then asked again.
Then she frowned a bit but then lowered her club, a sign that at least she knows she needs to calm herself a bit to be able to converse better, even though surely she's still quite wary too.
She then put one of her hand on her chin and seems to be thinking.
"Hmm.... I was on a journey to travel all around Wano. And after I finished a side-task to deliver a sword to a shrine in Hakumai, I continued my journey."
She explained.
I nodded slightly.
"I see.... Then? What's the last thing you remembered before you suddenly turn up here?"
"Hmm.... If I'm not wrong, when I was walking on the road, suddenly a glowing purple-black circle-like thing emerge on the ground. I felt dazzled by it so I covered and closed my eyes. And when I reopened my eyes, I already here which clearly another place different from where I was supposed to be."
"I see...."
I'm sure that purple-black circle was the summoning circle to transmigrated her from her world to this world.
"Can you tell me where is this place? Is this place still in Wano?"
She asked again still with a frown.
"Uhh...."
I felt conflicted and hesitant.
I'm not sure how to answer her question. After all, she's truly summoned her unilaterally.
And I understood if she's confused because she suddenly found herself in another place different than where she's supposed to be.
Also....
"Is there a problem?"
She asked again with her expression and tone clearly a bit suspicious with my hesitation.
"Well.... I'm afraid yes.... I don't know if there's a place called Wano here, but I can sure you that here is... another world different than where you come from.... Ahahahaha...."
I replied to her with wry, awkward smile.
"Huh? What did you say?"
She clearly heard my answer. But she act like she heard wrongly.
"Sorry...."
I said shortly while lowered my head slightly because of the guilt.
"Y-Y-You're kidding, right?"
She asked again with her tone a bit trembling.
"...."
I just silently answer her with shaking my head to the sides in denial.
And then, the atmosphere became silent. Only the sound of crickets or any other nocturnal animals heard in the dark forest underneath the moonlight.
*dugg*
After about a minute of silence, I heard the sound of something heavy fell to the ground.
I raised my head back and then found the long, black club of hers laid on the ground.
And then I saw her clearly looks in aghast.
"N-No way...."
"Uhm...."
I don't know what to say.
"I planned to travel around Wano but now I travelled to another world insteeeeeaaaaaddddddd!!!!!!!!!?????? What the heeeeeeeellllllllll!!!!!?????"
She exclaimed loudly while clutching her head.
Welp. That's one hell of a travel, wasn't it?
