The Cursed Bloodline
Tomato Heads meet

Kreeett......... Gggggggg........

The doors of Tengu Castle were tightly closed. Yuri could only follow where Xio pregi was heading, he sensed after entering the Demon forest. The aura of the castle was more terrifying than any place

"I guess, our cave is the bleakest place in the world. This place is much worse! " whispered Yuri to the faithful Oro-ryu perched on his shoulders

Despite being whispered, Yuri was actually very chatty. Even Xio had a sharp glance at him as he was busy commenting on what he saw during the trip towards Tengu headquarters

Xio now opened a seal on the large wall in the middle of his castle. Slowly the moon symbol appeared on that dingding. The symbol emitted a blue light, and began to open and form a staircase leading to the basement

Tagged! ...... Tagged! .... Tagged! ....

The stairs begin to form. Xio also stepped down the stairs leading to a pitch-black room below. Yuri followed where the man had gone, although fear was evident on her pretty face

A hallway with pipes adorned the ceiling, a dark and long hallway and minimal light. At the end of the hall, there is an iron door, which can only be opened by Tengu members only. Inside the door is the symbol of the hurup X Y Z N.......

It was the initial code name Tengu. So in addition to the person who has that identity, it is impossible to infiltrate the secret room. Except for a few red Cops that Xio deliberately lured there.

Kreeee..... Tagged......

As Yuri enters the basement, he sees two people sitting at the meeting table of the Tengu team.

Nee and Zou, they were waiting for Xio inside the meeting room from earlier. The eyes of the two men were fixed on the girl that Xio had brought

"Wuuuu....... Why is it that every time Xio takes a solo mission, he always brings a girl here? ...... Who is Leader? " say Zou

Xio walked towards his seat, followed by Yuri who followed the Tengu Leader's steps.

" He'll stay here......Yuri, sit down! "

Yuri was sitting on Mirai's chair, he stared doubtfully at the two people sitting in front of him

" They're my partners, Nee and Zou. I hope you guys can respect each other, and not make trouble" Xio said

"Did you get the 2nd stone, Leader? " ask Nee to the point

Xio only looked at Yuhi in exchange for an answer for Nee, unlike Zou who was chatty he understood the intent of Xio quickly

" then? Where did you put that rock? " said Zou while looking at Suspicious Yuri

" The stone is safe with us, so you don't have to threaten or suspect us! " Oro-ryu came out from inside Yuri's robe. Zou was surprised to see a small snake talking to him

"Snakes? What does this mean Xio? "

" My name is Oro-ryu, I am the guard of the 3rd stone Pillar guard. "

Oro-ryu went down to the table, his snake tongue he kept showing. He was checking who the two were

"Interesting, it seems that the 3 major Powers that are unlikely to cooperate in this world, are gathered into one Team in this place. I'm not even surprised, if the Snow Pillar is here Mr. Yora" Oro-ryu said as he looked at Nee and Zou

"Three Major Powers? Doesn't that refer to the 3 States in power today? What do you mean Oro-ryu? " ask Yuri curiously

" I don't know...... But I'm sure the people in front of me aren't just runaways" Oro-ryu said.

"Hey.... Oye... You little snake! How dare you babble in this place huh.

" Have stopped! Zou..... I want you to investigate someone, with magical elements that can interfere with one's sensory system" Xio said

"God! Isn't that magic that's troublesome enough for you Xio, did you find someone like that? "

Xio stood up, and began to leave the place

" Hn....... That guy attacked us on the way here. If you have the information, report it to me immediately! "

"Sure, you can trust me Leader! "

"Nee..... I leave it to you. " Xio left the place, and disappeared in the darkness of the hallway

Now only Nee, Zou and Yuri remain. Zou who had been staring intently at Yuri began to approach the girl

"A-What... What are you trying to do? " yuri's eyes followed where Zou was going

" Why did Xio even bring this tomato-haired girl here heh? It was enough that he brought Yuki with a cold temper, now that he brought this chatty girl here instead"

Yuri started to grow furious, who actually has tomato hair here. Andwhat? Fussy?

Barkkkk......

Yuri kicked the table firmly, she stood up and shouted right in front of Zou's face

Huh! " said Yuri began to get upset, he also allowed the location of his glasses while expressing emotions

" WHO DID YOU SAY LITTLE BOY HUH! IF YOU KNEW MY AGE, YOU'D BOW DOWN TO ME, YOU TOMATO WOMAN! " Zou did not lose

" WHAT DID YOU SAY? UNYU FACE DON'T BE SO HARD! YOU TOMATO HEAD! " they argue as if war is raging. Two tomato heads now deny that the fact their hair is really similar.

While Oro-ryu just looked at them tired, it was enough he faced the super chatty Yuri. Now he even meets the creatures who are 11 12 with Yuri, even their appearance is similar

"Stop! You are both heads of Tomatoes....... Yuri show a little respect for you, however they are the hosts" Oro-ryu said

Zou and Yuri who were fighting each other's gazes stopped their fight

"It appears that another chatty creature entered Tengu's headquarters ", Nee said, shaking her head. He immediately stood up from his seat

"Aren't you Yuri, come with me, I'll show you your room! " say Nee

"B- Good.... " Yuri followed where Nee went

Meanwhile, Oro-ryu gazes at the debate opponent Yuri clingy. Realizing he was noticed by a snake in front of him, Zou asked in surprise

" K-why are you staring at me? "

" no...... I'm just curious........ If it's not your fault "Zou immediately raised his hand.

" stop..... Even if you know who I am, at Tengu we forget our identity or origin. We will only realize Tengu's goal! " answer Zou steady

"So...... You don't know, either, who's your partner that you're with Nee? "

" absolutely. I don't know the real identity of any member other than Xio"

"Wahhh...... You guys are the perfect team. If your background power is united, peace will surely be achieved! "

"Stop that...... "Zou left with his leisurely smbil folding his hands behind his tomato head. Zou leaves Oro-ryu alone in the room

" TENGU. "

......................

Nee also showed a room that was quite spacious to Yuri. Room in one corner of Tengu's large castle

"Ep.... Ano....... If it's Yora, where is she now? " ask Yuri hesitantly

" Yora's? You mean Xio? "

Yuri nodded, wondering where the cold figure went.

" He was probably in his room, Xio's room was on the highest floor of this castle. "

"Can I stay on the same floor as him? I guess this big castle has a lot of empty rooms, hehe" Yuri smiled awkwardly

"There's no room anymore. Upstairs there were already our other members occupying the room, Xio would definitely get angry if we were to bully Yuki's room"

"Yuki....? Are there any female members in Tengu? "

" Hn.... She is the only girl in Tengu. Our leader paid close attention to it. Then..... I'm going"

Nee bowed slightly and left Yuri. Unlike the Tomato boy earlier, Yuri felt that Nee was much more polite. Although the appearance of the man seemed strange and creepy

"Why does his face have stitching patterns? This place is so weird! " murm Yuri

Yuri entered the room. The room was quite spacious, he took off Xio's robe

"I didn't expect, there was another girl on the side of a cold man like Yora. What's her name Yuki? " murm Yuri
