There's someone controlling the yokai.
"Who?"
“Stop writing in my palm, I feel amused,” Nekomata said.
“If you want to ask who controls us. Then just sorry because I can't answer, because basically I don't know it myself.”
The end is still a mystery. Why do the yokai come to this country, even though this country is not at all connected to the outside world. Some even think it is a curse. The origins of this country, obviously only the founders of the country know including the present Shogun.
“Mr Akio, we don't know it either.” Akashi. This time he agreed with Nekomata.
Akio asked again, this time writing a shadowy sentence on the fox's palm.
"Since when have you and Akashi been in this country?"
“If I came about a year ago.” Fox answered. “Then you hey, oni!” The fox then called out to Akashi.
“Since when were you in this country?” tanyakanya. Replacing Akio asked.
“It's been so long. I came here since childhood, maybe about a few years ago.”
Hearing the somewhat puzzling answer so, made the fox whisper softly at Akio.
“He sucked,” said.
“What? You were whispering behind me, huh?” It seems that Akashi's ears are functioning properly, so be aware that the fox is insinuating him from behind.
“If yes indeed why?”
“Mr Akio? Akio, is that your name? Very beautiful name,” said Nekomata praising.
Akio once nodded his head.
“The information I have is very little, not to mention I got here about two days ago. Most likely the person who controlled us was indeed from the beginning born in this country, Samurai Oni.”
Nekomata is indeed the most reliable of the other two. Akio was so slightly able to think who might be the mastermind, or the one who controlled the yokai secretly.
Between the founders of the country or maybe the people who had criminal records, that was what Akio thought. However who it was was was still a big question next to that suspicious was quite a lot.
“Samurai Oni, do you intend to defeat them?”
When Nekomata asked that, referring to the word, "them", Akio suddenly became confused and had to reassure him.
"They?"
“Could be the person who controls us that's quite a lot right? Anyway I'm not sure the new yokai have come lately.”
"From the beginning of the country, yokai came." Akio answered.
“So yes. So Samurai Oni didn't know.”
"Can you help me find him?"
Nekomata cleared his throat for a moment, appearing to think twice before accepting Akio's invitation. Basically this is not a mission for creatures like him, but rather the opposite is to prey on humans.
However, Nekomata certainly will not withdraw his words that were spoken when they first met.
“It is true that I did not intend to harm humans but why did I follow you? Are you not afraid of those who will attack you one day?”
“Hey, you are not polite! I am a human! And I will not attack humans. Lord Akio is my master! Then I'm the sword!” akashi said, he denied all Nekomata's talk.
“True that's true! If I kill or harm a human then I will be killed by the Samurai Oni!” sahut the fox.
“Miaw?” Nekomata tilted his head, he was confused by the current situation.
Again Akio wrote a shadowy sentence on the tatami floor, "I need your help. Anyway I don't feel that you and these two are dangerous enough to be eliminated."
The fox and Nekomata were stunned as soon as they read it. Both of them did not expect that Akio really believed them. Except for Akashi who from the beginning could not read, but his heart was human.
“Hm.”
Nekomata kept silent again, cleared his throat as usual and then he raised his front legs. The cat is in a standing position. Spontaneous Akashi and the fox were surprised with wide gaping mouths.
“Cats can stand?”
Then, unknowingly grandpa tengu had already come back. Unintentionally seeing the strange phenomenon, the cat stood up.
“A-what happened? Cat?”
Grandpa who was easily surprised by something then fell to the ground.
“Ah, sorry. Looks like I got caught,” Nekomata said casually.
“Talk? Hey, Akio! Whose cat is that? Why can I talk?!” ask the grandfather.
Neither Akio, the fox nor Akashi, all three of them did not reply at all. Looking from the tremors of his body after he got back up, grandfather would go berserk again.
“A—!” Just shouted a syllable, about to name the man.
“Ah, stop. I don't know why I got used to it. It must be yokai again,” he thought easily then swallowed his own anger, he then turned away from them and left.
“I made a mistake?” Nekomata spoke up again.
“Shut up! Cats don't need to interfere!” sahut the fox.
“I'm kind of with all of you. Except Samurai Oni.”
Suddenly the situation became so awkward like this. The quiet house became crowded because the residents increased. But they are not ordinary inhabitants but half-yokai and half-human beings.
“Ya. For now, let me rest for a while here.”
The golden-colored little cat fell asleep on Akio's thigh comfortably. Somehow all half-beings so attached to him but on the one hand he felt their existence useful.
However, Akio also felt uneasy towards him.
Brak!
He threw the cat out of the house. He was heard wailing in surprise and disbelief at what Akio had just done to him.
“Miaw!! What are you doing?!” Nekomata.
“Hei! Don't come any closer! Mr Akio kicked you out then that means you shouldn't be here!” yelled Akashi, standing in front of Akio to limit Nekomata to Akio.
“Cih, I agree. Anyway your words just now could have been a ruse,” said the grieving fox while folding both arms to the front of the chest. Be arrogant.
“You who love to deceive humans with your change of form, kitsune! Miaw!” nekomata shouted in annoyance.
“Ha, that's a long affair.”
“Miaw, miaw!!”
The atmosphere was getting noisy when the three yokai fought each other and even started attacking each other.
Akio tried to hold back the anger because this was not good for himself. Then he gave a warning to those who were fighting outside the house at this time.
Nah!
By throwing a wooden sword until stuck to the ground, between the positions of the three of them. Suddenly, they fell silent.
“Mr Akio angry?”
“Ah, looks like.”
“Miaw, this is not my fault.”
Akio walked towards them.
Then he took off his upper clothes and gave it to the fox so as not to be naked again. As you speak, “Kizu.” While his tongue was sprained because of a wrong word.
“Kizu?” The fox thought that Akio gave it a name.
“Thank you, Mr. Akio,” said the fox felt bad, to Akio who had left them.
