Chapter 46 – First Member of Hyakki Yakkou

I immediately teleport back to Kanto after I felt Kokabiel’s energy leave the town. I have no intention to sit idling after I heard Kokabiel’s declaration.

If he really brought his soldiers to attack Kuoh Town, then I am in a problem. Vali better brings me the full research and a method to obtain a balance breaker, or I will ask for more things from him.

The only way to stop an army is with another army. My time limit would be around 2 weeks, or at least 1 week with extra days. Rias and her peerage will be back from the training around those times, I bet Kokabiel won’t be able to wait to attack when Rias came back from the underworld.

There is an if scenario in this case. If Sirzechs came to the earth after Rias’s rating game, which she will lose because Shirone isn’t in her peerage anymore, then Kokabiel will hold off his attack for a few more days.

I have yet to obtain the rest of Excalibur from Freed too, his energy was still staying in one place, maybe because I injured him too badly when I took the Excalibur Rapidly. I could only make use of the sword for now, it’s too useful to be laid in my closet without using it when Kokabiel attacked.

I should’ve not fought Vali if I know that Kokabiel was waiting for it. It was my mistake. With only half of my strength, I could only give Kokabiel a light injury at best. He’s stronger than I thought.

Now, I will work my Sacred Gear to the fullest. After I came back to Kanto, I immediately used my Telos Karma and make the probability of me finding a member for my Hyakki Yakkou as high as possible. I will use this time to find them, to make my own army of youkai.

For the town, Tsura and Kuroka would be enough to defend it from any normal invaders. I think they should be okay too even if Kokabiel attacked them, they could hold him for a while until I arrived.

I sensed that almost everyone that present to watch the experiment earlier was in the dining room. I could also feel the stray devil energy in that room, which made me a little bit confused by it.

I go to the dining room to see what’s going on and I heard my old man was laughing from the dining room.

“Hahahaha, you know what? You’re fucking funny! How is it, want to join my Parade?”

“Hahaha, you realized that I had no legs right now. How can I join the Parade of Nurarihyon with no legs?”

“The technology is improved now, you can just ask for fake legs from the hospital!”

“Is that so? It’s been ten year since I lost my mind, so I don’t know. But I still refuse your invitation though hahahaha.”

I saw my old man was talking with a man with long black hair as they held a red sake cup in their hand.

The man was in his middle age, I don’t know him but he’s the stray devil that I brought back to this mansion.

Strange, why is he here? His appearance also changed, he’s better right now.

I entered the dining room and asked.

“Old man, why is he here?”

Everyone in the room turned to look at me, including the long-haired man.

“Oh! You are the one who brought me here, huh? I should say thank you to you for helping me regain control of my body back to me!” The long-haired man bowed towards me. “Really, thank you.”

I was confused for a second, but Kuroka nudged my shelves from my side and whispered.

“That man regained his consciousness a few minutes after you left for Kuoh Town. He was laughing as soon as he woke up, so we called Commander and they become a friend as soon as they talk to each other.” Explained Kuroka.

This is messed up, I looked at the man and said. “Don’t mind it, I cut your legs so I think I’m sorry? But that’s the safest way to bring you here without really harming you. Also, I used you to experiment with something, so I don’t need your thanks.”

The man raised his head and smiled. “Even so, you helped me. That itself deserves my gratitude.”

Damn, he’s a cool man. I smiled at him and said. “I see, then I will accept your gratitude…”

He realized that he didn’t introduced himself to me yet. “My name is Masaomi Yaegaki, nice to meet you.”

I was surprised when he introduced himself. Masaomi Yaegaki, I know that name. He was revived by Rizevim and given the holy sword, Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi. He wanted to take revenge against the devil for the death of his lover, Cleria Belial.

He’s a human, but he’s considered strong. At least he could fight with middle-rank devils and angels with no problem if he used a holy sword. But now, he is a devil. So, he must be stronger compared to when he’s still a human, right?

A smile crept up my face as I looked at Masaomi.

“I like it, Masaomi. I saved you, so I deserve a reward, right?”

Everyone in the room looked at me with confusion on their face, except my old man. He was just smiling and drinking a sake silently beside Setsuna.

Masaomi looked at me with a surprised expression too before he nodded his head.

“Yes, I will repay you as long as it’s within my ability.”

A good answer. I walked towards my old man and snatched his sake cup from his hand. Because Masaomi already has his sake cup, I extended my hand while holding the sake cup that I snatched from my old man.

“Hey, Riku! I was still drinking that!”

I ignore my old man's shout and said. “Join my Hyakki Yakkou. I will give you back your legs.”

Everyone was surprised by my words. Even Kuroka and Tsura were surprised.

I thought about it carefully. But, Kuroka and Tsura were not members of my Hyakki Yakkou, they are my girls. I planned to invite Shirone as the first member earlier, but I think she needed some rest first.

Masaomi Yaegaki was a former exorcist. He knew about the inside work of the church, and he also fell in love with a devil. More importantly, my old man also invited him to join his Parade. Not only that, he’s experienced. He’s strong enough to fight mid-rank devil as a human. Now, he’s a devil and become stronger than before.

For a sword, I could find a sword for him slowly. Xenovia was still a wielder of Durandal even when she became a devil, so I think I could make Masaomi use one of Excalibur Fragment.

I don’t care with the church now, Kokabiel’s attack is close, I will get as much ally as I can get. Masaomi seems surprised by my offer, but he eventually picked his Sake cup and extended his hand.

“If you don’t mind with me, then I will accept your offer.”

We smiled at each other and crossed our arms with each other.

“I won’t disappoint you, so follow me from behind.” I said to Masaomi with my right eye closed.

“Hahahaha, I think I will walk beside you instead of following you. That’s if I got my legs back.”

After we exchange short words, we drink our sake at the same time.

“I will give you your legs, that is a promise.”
