Samurai Oni
SAMURAI BLACK SWORD Bag I

Mikio wants to meet Akio again. Tengu's grandfather said that but indirectly because he also heard from Mizunashi Kage so that grandfather was a little suspicious of him.

Mikio, whether that person is real or not. At least Akio has been given a warning not to let his guard down.

“Mr Akio! Wait us!” yell Kizu and Akahsi simultaneously.

“Hei!” However, their steps came to a halt as grandfather blocked his path.

“What's wrong with you, midget grandpa?” tanya Akashi was furious.

“True. We want to follow Mr Akio! Because we are his sword!”

“Hey, that sword was me. While you're just a useless fox,” said Akashi.

“What did you say?! That's you useless!” scream Kizu.

Seeing Nekomata who had returned to the form of a small cat go after Akio, grandfather again stopped him.

“You too, cat.”

“Why should I obey an old man who will soon die?” resounding.

“I am indeed an old man who will soon die, but you should not follow Akio for now,”.

“For both of you too!” he yelled at Kizu and Akashi who then stopped fighting.

“I don't want the three of you, half-beings like you to disturb Akio's personal affairs,” pinta the grandfather firmly.

“Because he needs time to be alone. On the contrary, I also want to talk to you guys something,”.

“Talk? Speak what? Don't slow down my time,” Akashi.

“Maybe this has something to do with Samurai Oni?” nekomata.

“Oh, looks like you're a little smarter than the other two.”

This is about the assumption of the three of them against Akio, the Samurai Oni. What they plan, what they are after and what steps they will take will make grandfather know something about their true attitude.

Because from the beginning grandfather did not intend to trust a single yokai creature, especially those who have feelings like them. Either it feels disgusting or it's ridiculous.

“Mr Akio?”

“Do you know about the punishment?” Grandpa asked to make sure.

Then, Akashi who one of them already knows it then replied, “Master Akio was punished for his behavior is not it?”

“True. Why do you think he did that?”

“Maybe because he was a kid back then,” thought Kizu.

“Thinking like that is easy. But the problem is his habit when feeling the danger.”

“Isn't that what most are common, especially the samurai of this era?” nekomata.

“What you think is not wrong, but he is not the same as a samurai in general.”

“Don't because it smells good?” chirps Nekomata.

Kizu and Akashi turned to Nekomata, their gazes as if they were asking what he meant just now. It is precisely thought that Nekomata was about to eat Akio himself.

“You intend to eat Mr Akio alive?”

“Oh, so. I finally understand. The reason we got together and went to Mr Akio is because we all feel comfortable?” thought Akashi.

“It seems like your thinking is nothing wrong. But somehow I feel a little awkward.” Kizu is worried.

“It's like yokai?” sahut Nekomata glanced at the tengu grandfather.

“Yes. Feels like that indirectly but he's still human. Just his attitude alone was a little abnormal,” replied grandfather while nodding his head.

The grandfather who became a teacher at once for Akio said some facts about Akio.

Including a few years ago it had happened, the day when Akio messed up every second of it. The boy has never changed until now.

“Even once Akio pointed a gun at a judge and then said, "You are evil. I have to kill." That's the sentence I least want to hear.”

“Please forgive us if you think we are the same creatures as that damned yokai,” between Nekomata.

“As for Samurai Oni, the man may realize which one is not human.”.

“Yes, as you expect, cat.” At least the grandfather laughed. “He is a hot-blooded kid just like Akashi. Their attitude is very exact.”

“Because of that all this time I was thinking what made Akio let him by his side,” added grandfather while pointing at Akashi.

“Perhaps because of loneliness, that's what I thought,” closed the grandfather and then lowered his gaze.

“I look like Mr Akio?” Akashi doesn't believe it.

“So you heard me tell you that, didn't you? Akio once pointed a sword at a judge in this country. Of course it was wrong but his thoughts said otherwise, as if the judge was not a man worth defending.”

“Could it be because of the judge or what it was that was the bad guy? So Mr. Akio wanted to finish him off,” thought Akashi had a short woo.

“Yes, that's all many people think. But what he saw when dealing with the judge was not human. His views were different from ordinary humans. You understand, Akashi the Red Hand?!” squeal the grandfather.

“She said, "You're bad," and no, "You're the bad guy," that's what I mean. From the beginning, not once did Akio think that the judge was a human!” he said once again. As if he was venting his anger.

“So from the beginning Samurai Oni saw it that way. But we don't know for sure why we feel comfortable with him. Either because of the kind or indeed feel comfortable in general because of the squeeze in our bodies,” Nekomata said.

“Then I ask you, what are your views on Akio? You consider him human or Oni?”

Not Yokai but Oni. Both Akashi and Kizu and Nekomata, the three of them then remembered the first time they met Akio. The details that seemed to slow down their time saw clearly, the way Akio moved to swing his sword to slash at the enemy.

Just one word they can think of, "Gruesome."

When thinking that, everyone shuddered and turned away from the old man who was before them.

“True too. You will definitely think of Akio as an enemy.”

“Bu-not ..” Akashi spoke nervously, trying to deny but it was difficult.

“What?”

“Mr Akio saved me, so it's only natural that I return the favor. I thank him. It might be terrible but I think it's beautiful,” said Akashi.

“Ha ..even half yokai creatures like you can thank and apologize also yes,” murmured the grandfather while sighing tired.

Whatever they think of Akio, as long as that thought goes deep, it won't make them forget who Akio is. Somehow it is assumed, but Akio is clearly different from the usual Samurai. That was also one of the reasons Akio was referred to as the Samurai Oni although not many people knew about it.

Then now, besides Akio there is one person who is still mysterious today. It's Mikio.
