Samurai Oni
SUMMER IS OVER

“Ikiryo station. The creature became troublesome than I know. Really annoying.”

Repeatedly Grandpa mentioned the name yokai.

In addition, Akio, whose face is swollen but still hides his face with an oni mask, is listening to what grandfather will say. Of course with the yokai there.

“That's the name. Yokai is controlling everyone including Mikio's corpse. He was born out of hatred, vengeance and all forms of evil. You guys know this?”

Everyone especially Akashi shook his head. They don't really know the whereabouts of the yokai. Even Yasha who lived longer didn't know about it.

“I'm sure you'll say it so. Your target will be much bigger. Hey, Akio. Are you sure you'll do it alone?”

“Mr Akio from the beginning did it, didn't you, grandfather? After all who to trust after Mr. Akio was about to be sentenced to death.”

“And that yokai is after Mr. Akio,” Nekomata said.

“Whatever you say is true. But I was just asking what about Akio? Akio ..you're not a hero. That astrologer's words are nonsense, I guess. So you don't have to charge yourself.”

Shinpi-tekina on the verge of boundary. The damned yokai will not vanish just by constantly exterminating them every time they appear. And it is impossible for Akio who will always do it with pleasure.

“Akio, answer my question. The wooden sword I gave you is actually for what?”

The situation was silent for a moment.

“Grandfather, there's something we haven't told you. It's about yokai, they're all controlled by someone who's in this country. Didn't grandpa know?” kizu tried to be sure.

“Someone? Control the yokai? That is impossible.” Grandpa tengu denies it.

“Why does grandpa think so?”

“It is precisely me who has to ask why you think as if they are controlled. And if true, then what do you mean to follow in Akio's footsteps to eradicate your kind?” sahut grandpa.

“True. That makes sense. But I'm sure after birth, someone controlled us,” said Nekomata who had no doubts at all.

Then grandfather thought deeper, is that possible what happened all this time? But what about the genealogy of this land standing? Only the ancestors from the founding clan knew about it. But it is impossible to ask directly.

“Do you know this is Akio?” Grandpa asked.

“Ya.” Akio answered briefly.

“Then what's your plan?”

“I'll exterminate them all.”

It felt more tense than usual. Grandfather felt uneasy after hearing Akio's expression that indirectly also targeted the yokai that followed Akio.

“Then, what do you mean is to follow what that useless clairvoyant said?” ketus the grandpa.

“No. I just want to destroy them. That's all.”

From there it is very clear to see the expression of Naruhaya's sour tengu grandfather, hinting that he is annoyed but also disappointed because of Akio's blatant attitude.

“What only wants to exterminate them, Akio? You don't remember what happened to you after trying to kill the judge who was possessed by that yokai?” Grandfather confirmed. He was a little screaming.

“You always say, "Want to kill", "want to kill", you think you're just a killing machine?!” he continued with a voice that was swiping his ears.

“I didn't expect grandpa would worry about me. Take it easy, I will not be "oni" like my nickname,” stressed Akio then moved from there.

That was all that was in his mind. Just like the Oni (devil), Akio seems thirsty for blood and killing is one way to relieve it.

“AKIO!!”

“Wait, midget grandpa! Mr. Akio is currently angry because of the corpse of the man who was there,” Akashi said as he stood in his way to avoid approaching Akio.

“What do you mean say like that?”

“The man's life if not wrong is his brother. And we all felt the evil aura Ikiryo left from the corpse that looked broken,”.

“Aura? Broken? You mean the body's broken?”

“Ya.” Akashi nodded his head.

In this way, Grandpa learned that Akio's emotions came from Mikio's corpse. The fragile corpse that was stained by the evil aura of Ikiryo. Where Akio might be able to stay silent just like that, beside the spirit of Mikio is not necessarily calm in nature there.

“But ...Akio will fall into the darkness again. He's not like you guys. He was only human, and if he only thought of killing yokai regardless of his own circumstances.” In the end grandfather could not continue the sentence he was about to say.

“Hah, Akio ..” He complains, sighs tired while thinking about what misfortune might befall Akio.

“Before summer ends, Mr. Akio must immediately eliminate Ikiryo. Otherwise, he will forever hide until summer comes,” Yasha said.

“At the time when the sun rises, Ikiryo's power peaks. Yes you said,” said the grandfather.

“Because of that, please don't worry Mr. Akio because we're all with him. Always,” Yasha said.

“Ya, right! Just leave your disgusting duties to us!” akashi Exclamation.

“All of you ..actually why is it so fast ...you're on Akio?” ask grandpa to not believe it.

That answer may never exist. Each of them only carved a smile on their faces that was similar to a human's appearance. The only one who is so similar to humans is Akashi, this innocent man has a half-demon and half-human heart.

“Heh, if you kill humans then Akio will kill you. Keep that in mind. You all know that Akio will not retract his words, right?” threaten grandfather with a mocking tone.

While Akio had been away for a long time, grandfather had left immediately.

“Akashi, tell Mr. Akio immediately about what I just said earlier,” pinta Yasha.

“Which one?”

“Don't count on that fool. I will tell him this directly,” said Kizu.

“What did you say just now? I'm stupid!? Heh, you're the fool!” amuk Akashi who is not willing to be fooled even though it is a fact.

Summer is coming to an end. When summer is over and Ikiryo has not been destroyed then the yokai will hide and remove the tracks. But that does not mean that he is dead but recuperating, Ikiryo will not appear unless summer arrives.

If it continues to procrastinate then more misfortunes than ever will kill Akio.

“There!” Akashi pointed at where he managed to sniff Akio's smell.

“Good, good. Nice good dog. Let's go before the sun comes back up.”

“Dog? I'm not a dog!” akashi Protest.
