Minato’s left the influence of the Kigan technique, and then she went to Kasumi and Akana who were under the technique again.
Meanwhile, Motomune Amari also took off the technique on her. She then turns to the scene before her.
「What’s going on there?」
「He’s my attendant. What else?」
「What?」
Minato answered as if it was obvious, but she was also surprised inside.
(The Kigan technique used by Oni takes away the freedom of your body. Amari and I could take it off, but we needed some time. But, it didn’t work on Touya at all…)
Kurakishi first saw Minato and Touya and judged that he should be most cautious about Minato.
Her Massive Kyoushinki, the men who were having Oni Qi had been exorcised in an instant. Considering her age, anyone can tell she’s considerably powerful.
Then, he’s most cautious of Touya. But, he’s just a strong man. That was his perception.
No, his perception wasn’t wrong. The problem is that his power far exceeded Kurakishi’s expectations.
「Gueeeaaah!!!」
Currently, Touya’s beating up Kurakishi. He kicks and punches to resist, but none of them reaches Touya.
Attacks unleashed by the Oni are imbued with Qi, even if it’s just an ordinary kick. Normally, one should be cautious, but Touya deals with it like a normal brawl.
Motomune Amari looks at what Touya’s doing and she speaks up.
「He’s the one who fought Harakara?」
「Yes. At a glance, that man’s a White Oni class. But it won’t matter to Touya who can fight Harakara with bare hands…」
「Wait? Bare hands?」
Harakara’s someone known to be ferociously strong among the Oni. Harakara’s Kigan Technique further enhances his martial prowess.
It’s a completely different type from Kurakishi, but if you ask who’s stronger, everyone will tell you it’s Harakara.
Nobody can even think of an ordinary person fighting such a legendary oni with just bare hands. If not for the sight before them.
Motomune Amari is surprised, she continues watching Touya.
(The movements aren’t bad, but I feel like he’s got too much power. However, this is also Kurakishi having bad compatibility against him)
Kurakishi used the people eroded with Oni Qi and worked as an organization.
He’s the type who creates a territory and moves behind the scenes. He doesn’t have much to deal with direct fights.
That said, he’s still a threat to humans. However, a person who can fight Harakara had appeared.
(Even without Kyoushinki. This is…)
Seeing this will convince anyone. Kokuryoin Minato picked this ordinary person as her attendant before he matures.
「Where did you even find someone like him?」
「Online」
「What?」
「Online. Did you not hear me?」
Motomune Amari’s mind pictures Minato looking at matching apps.
But if she had time to do that, she would polish her sword and Kyoushinki instead. That’s unbelievable.
「Are you making fun of me?」
「Me? You? Don’t bother, I don’t have the time」
「Wha?!」
Motomune Amari’s hate for this woman just got fueled again.
It’s as if she doesn’t even see her. She doesn’t care. She’s treated like a stone on the roadside. When they were children, there was a time she thought of her as a friend, so it got her angry.
(I knew it. I hate this woman)
However, if not for their intervention, who knows how she would end up. The least of it would be five men violating her.
They were saved, and her attendant who can beat up an Oni has come. It’s frustrating, but she had to accept some of it.
「A…Amari…」
Kasumi and Akana were looking at Amari with an uneasy face.
That’s normal. They were almost violated while they couldn’t move their bodies. Minato had already released them, but their heads couldn’t keep up with the incomprehensible situation.
Minato looked at the two for a moment.
「Take the two somewhere safe」
「What did you say?」
「Can you even do anything here? No? Then protecting the two of them should be your priority. Many had been eroded by the Oni Qi and some were patrolling the area. Let them know what happened」
She had some resistance to accepting what Minato’s saying here But she’s also feeling some sense of guilt for dragging two of her friends involved.
And even if the mystery man holds back the Oni, she also wants to bring her friends to a safe place.
「Let’s go, Kasumi. Akana.」 Minato-san. I’ll tell you this beforehand, I didn’t do this because you ordered」
Yet, Minato was only looking forward, not even responding to Motomune Amari.
She’s got a lot she wants to say. But, as a member of Tenyoushuu, she must not mistake her priorities.
Thinking that, Motomune Amari took the two girls out.
■
「You’re persistent!」
Driving in a fully weighted fist into a man’s torso.
It’s my desire to have sex with Minato that’s fueling me right now.
「Gueaaaaa!?」
The man blows off to the wall and his back slams hard. That’s the third one. Even if it’s an Oni, the bruises on his body are becoming nasty.
In fact, he couldn’t even get up unlike before.
「Good job. As expected of Touya. That’s why you’re my attendant」
「Sure thing. Well, it wasn’t as bad as Harakara」
This man’s punches were also painful. But it wasn’t as bad as Harakara, and it didn’t feel that much of a threat compared to the murder sword Alchrom holds.
Minato came to my side and looked at the man.
「Did you kill him?」
「Woah?! I did say I’ll beat him up but I don’t think he’s dead」
Right? Right?
But, somehow… Even if he’s dead, I don’t feel like it would make any impact. There must be some change in mindset due to my contract with Cui.
Heroes don’t feel bad when the opponent they fight dies.
「Hey. Does Oni ever return to humans? What do you do in that case?」
Tenyoushuu is a group that faced Oni since ancient times. I know the answer, yet I can’t help but ask.
「There are cases. But Oni is harmful to the people. So, we kill them」
Saying that Minato took her sword out.
Well, I thought so. If you don’t deal with them, they’ll just cause more damage.
This man has done as he pleased so far. The cause and effect has turned on him. That’s just how it is.
While I was thinking in a daze, the man looked at me, shaking his whole body.
「Haa, haa!!! D-Dammit! How can a human…」
「I feel sorry for you. But. Kokuryoin Minato will…」
「…………！？」
There was no sign nor logic for it. The girl passed through me and Minato from behind.
「Huh?」
I didn’t notice at all. No presence, no footsteps.
Minato and I couldn’t react, just watching the girl head to the collapsed man.
The girl’s wearing a mini-skirt yukata. I don’t know why a girl like her would be here.
But, I only feel discomfort. I can’t let her approach the man. But before I could say that, she crouched before the man.
「Hey, Rugakutsu. You seem tattered. Shameful」
「Ah…ah…」
The man is also facing the girl with a surprised and fearful look.
Still, her voice… It comes to my ear without resistance. Also… For some reason, both Minato and I continue to watch the girl silently.
『Touya…』
Cui calls from further away. There’s some unheard-of tension from the voice.
『That one’s dangerous』
「Huh?」
What did you say?
The girl stood up and got up before I could even ask what that meant. Then she smiled.
Cute. Wait no. Bewitching? She looks like a girl in her teens, but she has a smile that makes her charming like an adult. Also, the yukata-like clothing exposes her chest.
I observed the whole body of the girl. I think her height is about the same as Filmeria’s.
Her hair’s glossy and her bangs are nicely cut. Her hair reaches to her shoulder, and it has a straight cut.
「Onii-san, you’re quite strong, aren’t you? I never expected Rugakutsu to be beaten up one-sidedly」
「Eh? Oh, yeah」
Rugakutsu? Who? Wait, how does she know this guy?
I’m feeling so much discomfort at this moment, but I had no desire to pursue it.
I mean. Both Minato and I were consumed by this girl’s presence.
「Hey, Onii-san. I still have to scold Rukakutsu. Can you give me some time?
「Sure」
I can’t let this continue. I have to think calmly about what’s going on. In this situation, this girl’s likely.
「Ku…Kihana…」
Minato utters some unfamiliar words with a trembling voice. The girl noticed Minato for the first time, and then she turned her eyes to Minato, her face was still at the same angle.
「Oh? Someone know my name? Fufu. My name is Kukihana. My mysterious Onii-san, why don’t you tell me your name?」
