Samurai Oni
GUESTS WHO WANT TO MEET

The same Yokai has reappeared and Akio intends to finish him off alone. Then came the samurai who became part of the Uchigoro clan named Uchigoro Nara.

Originally just a speck of black exactly as Akio felt, the man also felt it and rushed to eliminate the yokai. Yet who would have thought that it was just a diversion, as if the yokai had an unexpected plan.

And most of the yokai's body was actually hiding in the shadow of Uchigoro Nara. And the person himself was even unconscious, so Akio immediately intervened to finish him off.

After a while of waiting for the reaction from that yokai, there was an awkward feeling. Akio felt it right after the yokai vanished.

It feels like he is still being played by her. But Akio found no other existence. As if from the beginning there were none.

***

The House of Flowers.

Kizu is arranging flowers in every corner of the room, fragrant from the flowers spread to the whole. It felt comfortable to be there until it made Kizu yawn.

The samurai who after chasing the yokai in groups did not seem to return for a while. While the geisha were still in the house, though only a few and some of them had returned.

Kizu felt that one of the women in the same room was watching her.

'That woman touched Mr Akio's scar, didn't she? Hmph! It cannot be forgiven.' I don't know why he got angry when his own master didn't bother him so much. But that was Kizu's heart.

This afternoon is getting hotter, but soon it will change the season.

When Akio returned to meet Kizu shortly after finishing the yokai. Akio gave the message not to fight against the yokai that should have disappeared.

Akio said through a gesture, "Yokai the controller is still alive."

“Mr Akio has gone home? Maybe I should go home too. Before the Madam owner came back to see me,” muttered Kizu then moved from there.

Go from the Flower House while carrying a package containing various gifts from customers who like him. Soon he walked back to Mikio's residence, but the woman followed Kizu.

“Why are you following me? And you've always seen me. Is something wrong?” Feeling uncomfortable and suspicious, Kizu asked him plainly.

“I'm sorry.”

Brown-haired women and kimonos patterned in dark colors. Totally out of tune with her small, cute face. Invisible she was wearing any accessories but Kizu realized that this woman was keeping something under her clothes.

“There's something you need from me?” asked Kizu, she turned around and smiled at him kindly.

“Sorry, Kinata. I want to see a man with long hair that covers his face. Can you help me?” ask the woman.

“Why should you ask for my help? Isn't Madam the owner much more familiar with all the customers who often come.”

“No. The man has never been seen in the flower house at all, so I'm sure he is rare or maybe today was his first time coming,” he thought.

“Oh. But still.”

“Before I saw Kinata constantly staring at the man. So I think Kinata recognized him.”

Kizu flinched, not so aware that her attitude was indeed too the center of attention. He was not aware that besides Kazuki, it turned out that this woman was also aware of what he was paying attention to.

'Instead of inviting trouble. Could it be that I should take him? No, no, ' Inner Kizu.

“Please, Miss Kinata!”

“Sorry. But what's your relationship with him?” ask Kizu.

“E-eh ..that, I can't ...,” The look on her face changes, the color of her skin becomes red. She was embarrassed but tried to hide it.

“Can't say it?” guess Kizu as she cleared her throat.

“Friends only!” And suddenly he screamed.

In the end Kizu brought the woman into Mikio's residence. There was no one but a fool with red hands waving behind the door of one of the rooms as well as a cat whose entire body was wrapped in white bandages walking on the roof.

“If you want to meet him, then you can not tell about your meeting and so is this place.”

“Oh, fine.”

Honestly Kizu was reluctant to bring this woman. But this woman is always pushy and if Kizu continues to resist then she is afraid if she is suspected or something. Then the thing hidden behind his clothes, until now Kizu still does not know what it is.

“Yasha, where did she go?” Kizu wondered to herself, feeling astonished that there were no useful people left behind in this house.

Kizu is also worried about Akio who has gone out of nowhere because until now he has not returned.

“Come into this room. I'll be back,” Kizu told the woman.

“Ya, thank you.”

Kizu leaves him to talk to Nekomata who is still perched up there.

“Hei, Neko! Where is Yasha? And is Mr Akio still not back?” ask Kizu.

“It turns out that's true you are, Kizu the fox?” nekomata said calling then down.

“Master has not returned and Yasha is also.”

“Where is Yasha?”

“She said she wanted to take a walk because it was her first time going to the Capital,” Nekomata replied as she licked her fingernails.

Kizu bet that Yasha is currently lost. But that has turned into fact, because Yasha has been pacing between the territory of the Uchigoro clan and the capital.

Then, not long after that Yasha accidentally met with Uchigoro Nara.

“Sorry, may I ask?”

“Oh, yes. It could be.”

“Someone who has long hair. Do you recognize it?”

“Oh, you mean the long bangs huh? Well, he's really great!”

You could say, thanks to Uchigoro Nara, Yasha met with Akio. Both rushed back home.

“It looks like Mr Akio is fighting alone?”

Akio nodded his head.

“I'm sure Mr. Akio is fine. Because I am sure that Mr. Akio is the best.”

Akio suddenly stopped walking, then looked at Yasha.

“Master asked why I came out? I'm sorry, I actually just want to take a walk but then get lost,” explained Yasha so relaxed.

“Yes, I am very grateful to be able to meet Mr. Akio, this is thanks to a samurai lord I do not recognize,”.

Back to Mikio's house. Kizu immediately told him something important, this was related to the arrival of a woman who was about to meet Akio.

Akio does not remember that he ever recognized one woman, because he never communicated even with men his age.

“The woman is here, Mr. Akio. Please be careful because it looks like he is hiding something,” Kizu said.

Not wanting to disturb, Kizu and the others just stood beside the door while trying to steal a listen.

“Finally you came. Lord Akio! I thought this was you!”
