Samurai Oni
THE MEETING OF THE LEADERS OF THE FOUNDING CLANS OF THE COUNTRY

After taking out two yokai in one day, Akio intends to return to Kuran soon.

However, as soon as he turned around, Akio immediately told Yasha, Kizu and Nekomata to go into hiding. Those who are curious about what is happening, can only obey Akio's words while paying attention to the circumstances around.

“We're coming, Mr Akio!”

A row of samurai clans founding the country had come, they all lowered their heads respectfully facing him. Spontaneous Akio stepped back so much he was surprised because of their existence and attitude.

“What does this mean?”

“Sorry, I said tomorrow but it turns out to be the present. Since no one sees besides us and you.” Sakanoue spoke up without raising his head.

“Not that. Hearing the word "Master" alone has made my hair goosebumps.

As he said, Akio quickly left from there. Not even intending to speak to them, especially before he was considered an enemy. Yasha and the other two almost took up arms once they knew they were samurai.

“Please wait for us.”

“No. Never mind. Stop being so polite. I'm nobody but a wasted ronin in this country.”

Seeing Akio's completely unchanged attitude, it made Mizunashi dare to act further.

“Wait a minute!” Mizunashi pulls Akio's arm and makes him stop walking. Then the others surrounded Akio from the front.

“What the fuck is this?”

“Soldiers Hell.”

Only then did Akio understand their very hasty reason just to meet Akio. It turns out that this is related to a very different country problem than usual.

It is located in Uchigoro, Tama. They all gathered in one place, the Uchigoro residence.

“Akio, are you alone?” ask Mizunashi.

“Of course.”

All the samurai who were around him at this moment of course noticed the sword that Akio had but none of them raised that sensitive topic. Choosing to shut up and continue the discussion is more important than it all.

In addition to the samurai, there was one woman who was dressed in a covered dress. He's a fortune teller.

“Live only. I want you to see this.”

One by one they were like they were stung by something, after which they saw something terrible as if it had just happened a few seconds ago. Terrible thing, where the land of Shinpi-tekina on the verge of destruction. Full of severe damage, blazes, dead and wounded, a flood of blood and the fighters as well as the cursed yokai-yokai.

“Tadi it ...,”

“True. The cursed Yokai-yokai called the Warrior of Hell by him will come the next day. Counting around 5, that's all I can estimate.”

“Then, this corresponds to a book written by the founding ancestor.”

“True also.”

The nine founding clans of the country, gathered in one place. It consists of Yamamoto Kaeda, Mizunashi Kage, Uchigoro Tamura, Sakanoue Benjiro, Kazuki Eichi, Honjou Eno, Takashi Oda, Satsuki and Ramuro Yu. Except for the Hatekayama clan which now has no successor.

All of them, including Akio, had witnessed what would happen the next day. This is an unexpected event, but in one day. It's too soon as time doesn't side with them.

“Then Mr. Hatekayama died, the barrier weakened and made yokai of different levels have been born and entered into the country.”

“Not only that. Damned yokai that we used to meet the number increased.”

“And many of them shrewdly use self-contained barrier just to avoid us all.”

Many of them said various information that was difficult for Akio to digest. He was confused to respond how but he knew enough that his knowledge was minimal. Moreover, he was not so aware that there were many yokai scattered in each region. Even though they were exterminated.

“How about Mr Akio?” Finally, one of them named Satsuki asked.

'Look, I don't understand the direction of their conversation at all. But all I know is the destruction of the land that will happen tomorrow. Just that, ' Akio's inner cold sweat.

“How, Mr Akio? Don't tell me you didn't listen to anything from us?”

“E-Eh?”

Everyone breathes at the same time. Then the slightly laughing Mizunashi again explained to her in easy-to-understand words.

“Many of the damned yokai whose abilities are already superior to those you normally exterminate. Then the contents of the prophecy stated that this country will be destroyed tomorrow. Until here do you understand?”

“Y-yes. I understand.” Still nervous, Akio tried to answer calmly.

“So, how are you going, Shogun?”

“H-hah? The shogun? What are you talking about? I'm not Shogun.”

“You Shogun,” sahut Kaeda.

Again Akio was made silent. But it only happens temporarily.

“What are you talking about, old man?” Even reply to him with a harsh name. Akio got up from his seat.

“I have no intention of becoming a Shogun. I'm just a ronin who's been dumped out of this country. Besides isn't the Shogun now you, Yamamoto Kaeda?” akio stressed.

“Good.” Only Mizunashi answered, while everyone was seen staring intently at Akio.

Only Mizunashi had a gentle expression, he replied with a friendly smile to Akio.

“But, there is a reason why we came to see you now.”

“I know.” Akio folded his arms to the front of his chest and said, “Hell Warriors that Sakanoue once talked about. You guys gather to defeat disasters like them, right? Because it's too strong, you want to ask me for help.”

“Yes, you finally understand.”

“Not only that, Akio. Yokai's after you, isn't he?” Uchigoro Sahut.

“Yah ..apparently you guys know it.”

“One by one we began to realize your existence which he thought was long dead since escaping execution that day.”

“It wasn't my fault.”

“Ya, yes. I understand, Akio.”

“We want to make you as bait, so follow our orders unless you want to die. That's what we're trying to tell you, stupid boy!” The one who hates Akio so much is not just one. One of the founding clans, Ramuro Yu. It is said that several years ago, since the era of Hatekayama, he became a Yakuza for the sake of the balance of the country.

Yakuza who had problems with Akio as a teenager. The point is that they are both hostile to each other.

“What did you say, old man? You can only drink sake every day. Can you still lift a sword?” syndir Akio.

“Hah! As usual your mouth is rough, bum boy!” pekik Ramuro then stood up while wiping the rest of his drink that had been drunk before.

“You have no right to say that. And I'm not a bait but a lucky card for you guys right?”

“Conversation overbearing.”

“Remember how I helped you first!”

“Remember? Where do I remember? I just remember you used to mess up my place,” he said as he walked towards Akio.

The two began to squabble, the aura between them felt extremely clear and carried an uneasy feeling.
