Samurai Oni
THOSE WHO ARE LOYAL

One enemy was defeated. The Enemy Snow Woman, who wreaked havoc on Bama. Coincidentally or perhaps a plan, the yokai woman who took him away from the illusionary world after eliminating Oni, was in the same place as him. Akio cannot beat him. Lose. Lose a landslide, although from the beginning the woman did not intend to kill Akio.

After the various memories that entered his mind in a chaotic manner, Akio felt extremely exhausted. All his energy was drained a lot and breathing became heavy until Akio finally fell there.

Meanwhile, Akashi is recovering. Before this he fought the Snow Lady, but instead ended tragically by being frozen from the inside as well as the outside. Even so it seems he still survives.

“Tuan ...Akio?”

Faintly hearing his heartbeat and the sound of his breathing, it made Akashi quickly recover and regain consciousness. Rushing he helped the weakly lying Akio there. Akio's face paled, Akashi panicked.

“Mr Akio. What the hell is going on? Mister okay?” ask Akashi.

There were no injuries from his physique, at first glance it felt so. But Akashi, who can feel the feelings and pain of everyone nearby, clearly knows something is wrong.

“I don't know anything. What's the matter, actually?”

The questions Akashi asked, never once answered by Akio. While Akio was very tired and visible from the look of his fading eyes, he seemed shocked at what was unclear.

Akashi was confused. He could do nothing and could only wait for Akio to calm down.

After a while Akashi kept him lying down. Akio asked, “You ...what are you doing here?” With his weak voice, and with his eyes closed.

“I just want to pick up Mr. Akio back home. Because at that time Mr. Akio suddenly disappeared, the smell or the existence of the Master was completely unpredictable.”

All Akashi expressed as he was airy and firm in dealing with all problems. Sometimes he feels worried, even because of the absence of Akio next to him.

“And by chance I found you. I also found this,” he added while showing a tear of Akio's cloth.

Of all the appropriate answers, Akio could only murmur softly, “So.”

“Mr Akio I'll help you walk.”

His originally conscious mind had now fogged up for no apparent reason. In the next few seconds, something appeared in his head and it made him recall a memory of the past.

“Who?” Akio's pupils trembled violently, he felt pain in the head and continued to hold it and tried to hold back the fear that appeared suddenly.

For a quick glance, where someone nicks a woman's forehead, making her roll back. Someone who fell in the dark and was locked up somewhere.

“Cannot. Stop the. That's ..it's not me!”

“What's Mr Akio? Mr Akio?”

Akashi felt more panic and excruciating pain in his head. Like a malignant tumor or something like that, things that are not easily avoided and survive are very difficult.

“My head ...,”

It's in his head. Where the pink lips of a woman were saying something before finally leaving someone. Someone who seems to be playing a role that it is Akio.

Things that shouldn't exist.

Suddenly the foreign memory was mixed with the old memories that he feared the most and was hard to forget.

There Akio heard a voice saying, "From the beginning I had no intention of being your friend." The words, the voice, the tone, the temperament, everything that was seen so clearly that it was who, had made Akio even more of a headache.

“Go!”

“Mr Akio?” Akashi tries to calm himself down, as well as trying to understand what really happened to Akio. As soon as he reached out, Akio made a reflex move by hitting Akashi in the face.

“Tuan ...Akio?”

The thought that was enveloped in something strange. The stupid Akashi knows very well that what Akio is feeling right now is very unreasonable.

Only memory can attack him mentally and physically at once. Akashi did not know what to do but gasped silently with fear in his mind.

“Mr Akio ..actually what is it? Don't-don't ...,” Akio silently bit his lower lip, while thinking about all the Snow Woman's words about Akio.

Spending a lot of time just searching the entire inner region of Shinpi-tekina, it was indeed extremely exhausting. Their time, energy, and thoughts were always drained. Not only that, they are often targeted by both humans and yokai.

At the previous moment, when Akashi was dealing with the Snow Woman. Yasha and Kizu face a four-eyed yokai, unable to be said to win or lose because fighting for a while in the illusionary world of the four-eyed alone has left both sides exhausted.

Then in the end Yasha and Kizu split up as soon as they felt Akio's existence from a very distant position. They were fleeing from a very powerful enemy.

Likewise with Nekomata, he faced the greatest enemy. Samurai who are good at using holy spells like priests, spiritual power is not playing and Nekomata will disappear in an instant just because they dare to look at him.

Just like Yasha and Kizu, Nekomata escapes with his tiny body as a small cat. Fleeing from an enemy that cannot be resisted, a one-month-old Yokai is unlikely to defeat him.

The existence of Akio was again felt, although in fact Akio was in a place very far from their position. But the reason why they can only feel it is because of Akashi. Akashi who had toppled the Snow Woman, that was when the snowy storm that blocked everything regarding Akio's existence was wiped out.

“TUAN AKIO!!!”

Thanks to that, Yasha, Nekomata and Kizu met again in the same place in the city of Bama. The place where there were no more blizzards, the three of them ran towards where Akio was while shouting to call his name.

Akashi was surprised by their arrival, but also happy because then he could help to deal with the problems experienced by Akio at this time.

“Mr Akio! You okay?!”

“Master Akio!!! We are here!!”

“I miss Mr. Akio very much. How are you doing?”

His followers have regrouped. And at the same time, Akio was awakened from various painful memories. He was driven away from the evil aura of Onryou who was also about to devour him.

Ironically, those who were worried about Akio were not human. But yokai (stealth) that should not be born in this world.
