[Nura] Chapter 53 – Party before the Storm
🕑 Added 2021-11-30 05:54:33 +0000 UTC“So, how long were you going to dogeza like that?” I said to Kurotabo and the other.
They raised their head and looked at me. Because my old man allowed them to stay in this mansion, then I can rest easy. But, I seem to be forgetting something.
“Riku-sama, so they are the new Hyakki Yakkou member?” A voice called out to me from the edge of the room.
I looked at him and saw Masaomi sitting there with a smile on his face. That’s right! I forgot about his presence! How? Was this the skill of an experienced former exorcist?
Setsuna who sat beside my old man earlier also stood up and excused herself after a while. We were the only ones left in the room with Hagoromo Gitsune. Kurotabo and the others were also surprised when they saw Masaomi and asked.
“Who is that? He’s not youkai, right?” Asked Kurotabo as he narrowed his eyes.
Masaomi just laughed at Kurotabo and said. “I am not, I am a reincarnated devil but I was invited by Riku-sama to join his Hyakki Yakkou. He saved me when I lost my mind, so I am really grateful for him.”
“Devil? Do you mean you are an oni?” asked Hagoromo Gitsune.
“No, lady. Devil as in devil from Bible. I am not an Oni, I was previously a human.” Answered Masaomi as he stood up.
He was wearing prosthetic legs that were made from woods. Who made that? But I’m glad that he can move around now. He approached us and stopped in front of me.
“Riku-sama, I will go right now. If they were really from a different world, I could explain how things work in this world.” Said Masaomi.
I nodded my head to him and turned back to look at Kurotabo and the others. “You three can follow him for now, ask him anything. I still need something that I wanted to talk about with Hagoromo Gitsune.”
“Oya, are you still trying to win over me? Your effort is futile.” Said Hagoromo Gitsune.
“Nah, I just wanted to talk about something private and asked something.” I answered Hagoromo Gitsune with a shrug of my shoulder. “I wanted to propose something too.”
“But, Riku-sama. She’s...” Kubinashi spoke up, but I cut him off.
“Don’t worry, there will be nothing happen. We will just talk.” I said to him as I raised my chin slightly.
“Kubinashi, let’s follow Riku-sama instruction for now. We don’t know anything yet so it’s better if we ask…” Kurotabo paused his sentence and looked at Masaomi who stood by my side. “Now that I think about it, I don’t know your name yet.”
“Oh, excuse me for that. My name is Masaomi Yaegaki, nice to meet you.” Said Masaomi as he extended his hand for a handshake.
Kurotabo and the other stood up and introduced themselves as they shakes Masaomi’s hand.
“Well then, shall we go?” Asked Masaomi as he walked out of the room followed by Kurotabo and the other. They closed the door and there was only me and Hagoromo Gitsune left in the room.
“What do you want to talk about, I wonder.” Asked Hagoromo Gitsune as she turned towards me.
I also turned towards her and crossed my arms. “Reincarnation, I wanted to ask you about that. As you’re a youkai that got stronger each time you reincarnated, I am curious about the reincarnation part.”
Hagoromo Gitsune had a surprised expression before she turned serious. “As expected, you are Nura Rihan, right.”
I shook my head and answered. “No, I am not. But I do know about Nura Clan and Nura Rihan. And how he died, I know all of it.”
‘Because I watch the series.’ I added in my mind.
“How… wait.” Hagoromo Gitsune understood what I meant and she smiled. “You were reincarnated to this world. So that was why you asked me about reincarnation.”
“Right, I can’t talk about it with other people. Although I just met you earlier, I know that you understand reincarnation more than the other youkai.” I said to Hagoromo Gitsune with a serious face.
“Then shall be it, I will explain it to you. You are more interesting than I thought.”
Hagoromo Gitsune explained all that I wanted to know about reincarnation. Surprisingly, my reincarnation to this world was the same as the way she tried to reincarnate her son, Abe no Seimei in Nurarihyon no Mago.
I understood most of it, and she also asked how did I reincarnated to this world if I have no ability to reincarnate endlessly like her. I just answered that I got reincarnated by the same girl that transported them here, that was why I believed them when they said that they were transported by a naked girl to this world.
After I was satisfied with her explanation, I went to the dining room to take lunch. Hagoromo Gitsune said that she will join her subordinates and asked for a room for herself to sleep in. I directed her to Setsuna and have a hefty lunch after that.
The mansion of Kanto now was filled with Youkai from my Hyakki Yakkou. Masaomi also got along well with Kurotabo, maybe because they had the same hairstyle? But that was good. The pond under the Sakura Tree was inhabited by Kappa, which looked like a normal human but he had a shell on top of his head and his hands looked like a frog's hands.
Tonight, there will be a party to exchange the Sakazuki with me. My old man throw a big party and informed Kyoto too. When Hagoromo Gitsune found out that the ruler of Kyoto was a fox youkai like her, she was honestly surprised.
I laughed at her and I went back to Kuoh Town for now to get Tsura and Kuroka. I purposely didn’t inform Sona about Kokabiel’s attack. Well, I wanted to inform her, but I decided to use her and Rias as bait.
There was a chance that Kokabiel would attack another city if Rias or Sona weren’t present in the town. They were the perfect bait for Kokabiel, so I will just inform them of the day when Kokabiel attacked the city.
I took Tsura and Kuroka back to Kanto and introduced them to the Nura Clan youkai. They cheered so hard that they found out I had two lovers my age. Well, long story short, the party that night was really big. I drank too much sake because each youkai wanted to pour me a drink and I ended up sleeping until the morning after the party.
