"Hey, are you okay?!" I asked, a little bit panicked because Kuroka didn't move at all.
My question was answered by a weak groan. I clicked my tongue, and slowly, I picked Kuroka and put her on my back. After she rested on my back, I run as fast as I can to reach the base of the mountain to ask the location of Yasaka's shrine.
'Damnit, if Kuroka was injured like this, then she just killed her master and run away from the underworld?! I need to get to my old man fast!'
I used my Fear to hide my presence from the others, fearing that there will be a pursuer of Kuroka that roam around the mountain. I was confident to take on a middle-class or high-class devil if they are alone, but a group fight is still outside my capability.
I had yet to learn Senjutsu and my Youjutsu is not as good as my Fear. On top of that, I need to protect Kuroka from them too. I run faster and muttered every strength that I had until I heard a yell that was full of hatred from behind me.
"There she is!"
I looked back, following the source of the voice, and saw 2 devils around the middle class from the energy that I sensed, pursuing me while flying with their wings.
'Tch.' I quickly activated Kyoka Suigetsu to shift their awareness towards me and Kuroka and called Nenekirimaru to my right hand. I bite the sheath and unsheathed it using my right hand while my left hand supported Kuroka that was on my back.
The devils were fooled by their awareness and chased my fake presence to the left. I used this chance to sneak behind them and behead one of them using my Nenekirimaru. The blood was gushing out alongside some kind of energy from the demon, which I guessed was his demonic energy that was cut by Nenekirimaru.
The other devil was confused for a second before he realize me holding my sword and biting the sheath appeared behind the now corpses and shouted.
"You!!"
Once again I used Kyoka Suigetsu and shift his awareness to make him think that I went around him, while in fact I crouched and waited for a chance for him to rotate his body and stabbed him from the back.
As I had planned, he shifted his gaze to follow my fake presence and I use this chance to leap towards him and pierced his heart using Nenekirimaru. Blood and demonic energy gushed out from the wound after I pulled my Nenekirimaru and swung it to clean the stain.
Although I killed 2 devils today, I felt nothing unusual. Is it because I am on my youkai form, or my mind has changed over the years? Whatever it is, I am thankful for that for now because I had no time to puke or waste any time anymore.
I sheathed Nenekirimaru and made it disappear before using Meikyo Shisui to hide my awareness again and proceed down the mountain again. Thankfully, I only met with 2 devils and arrived at the back of the shrine.
Without waiting for long, I entered the shrine and ran towards the meeting place of my old man and Yasaka, and deactivated my Fear. It's been hours since the meeting started, so I thought that the meeting must have been adjourned and they just talked to each other to deepen their relationship.
"Young Master!! Are you okay?!" On my way to the meeting's location, I saw Tsura run frantically towards me while shouting.
Because I am right now focused on Kuroka's condition and in no time to stop myself, I shouted back to tell her that I am okay.
"I'm okay, meet me in the place of my old man!"
Soon, after running for a minute, I had arrived at the meeting place between my old man and Yasaka. I meet with Magari as soon as I've reached the place and thank my good luck for that. I approached her and said.
"Magari!! Could you heal the girl on my back? She's injured!"
Magari saw me with blood all over my body and spoke back.
"You have blood all over your body!! I need to check you first!"
I laid Kuroka on her back slowly in the ground in front of me while answering her.
"This is not my blood. I've been attacked by 2 devils while trying to get help for her. It seems that they are targeting her."
Magari nodded in understanding and now focused on Kuroka. She has a bit of frown on her cat face and began healing Kuroka using what I guessed as Senjutsu.
While healing Kuroka, Magari said. "Young Master, this girl is a reincarnated devil. Where'd you find her? No, more importantly, she's a Nekoshou and she's capable of Senjutsu."
I just nodded my head and answered her.
"Yeah, I realized that she's a youkai so I help her. It's not important if she's a reincarnated devil, right? Who knows, maybe she was forced to be reincarnated by some devil."
Magari just groaned in answer and nodded her head. After a while, she stopped using Senjutsu and said to me.
"Her condition has stabilized. I will call Commander to tell him about the news."
"Yeah, don't forget to tell him that I killed 2 devils too. I did it in self-defense in case you're wondering about it."
"Fufufufu, young master has the same temperament as Commander. Very well, I will tell him that." With that Magari entered the meeting room, leaving Kuroka on the ground and me who stood dumbfounded because of her word.
'The same temperament as my old man, huh. Maybe that's why I didn't feel anything when I killed those devils.'
I carry Kuroka up in a so-called Princess carry and leaned against the wall near the door of the meeting room to wait for my old man and Magari.
Just after I leaned against the wall, I feel Kuroka move in my hand and I looked at her face while my face was still full of blood. I realized that and quickly wiped my face using my kimono's sleeves and looked at Kuroka again.
I saw her eyelids move a little and finally, she opened her eyes. The first thing that she did was to look at me straight in my eyes.
"Ya~ Good morning."
