Chapter 10 : Great Kensei Purge 4 : Fight End & Loss

YATO!

Their ruthless names frightened even the most powerful fighters in the galaxy.

They are a race a humanoid Amanto renowned for their incredible strength.

They are known as blood-thirsty Amanto whose killing instincts and insatiable hunger for supremacy leads them to seek out the best fighters of the universe to challenge, even among their own kind. Their amazing supernatural and instinctive fighting abilities, and tremendously overwhelming physical strength, speed, durability, adaptability, reflexes, stamina, endurance, willpower, and senses all of which far surpass human and most other Amanto capabilities gives them an overwhelming advantage in battle.

They are called "rabbits" as rabbits are generally very susceptible to heat exhaustion. Just like the Yatos, direct sunlight weakens them and can even lead to death.

The ship was caught in a terrible fire as it slowly fell from the sky.

*Boom* *Boom* *Boom*

The engines exploded the fuel tanks increased the vividness of the fire, the ship's hull was falling apart.

But even then, amidst the flames, two men faced each other without a pause.

Haruto punched Housen with his fists, followed by an upercut, Housen kicked him as well.

*Pak* *Pak*

They both spat blood before falling to the ground.

But they slowly tried to get up as the muscles in their legs trembled, many of their bones were cracked, but through sheer willpower they clenched their teeth and get up, looking at each other with their bodies covered in blood.

The ship crashed to the ground, but they both jumped at the last moment to avoid being caught in the explosion and landed on the floor of the spaceport.

But at the same time a dozen people carrying umbrellas surrounded them.

"Housen-Sama your wounds..." said one of them approaching Housen but before he finished his sentence Housen gave him a brutal slap throwing him back.

"What right have you interrupt my fight!"

"Sorry Housen-sama!" They all shouted in unison.

"What do you say we postpone our confrontation."Said Housen looking at Haruto.

But without replied, Haruto disappeared and blinked constantly, gradually disappearing from Housen's field of view.

"Housen-sama we'll let him go just like that? We've already accepted payment from the Bakufu." Says one of the Yato, seeing Haruto's disappear on the horizon.

"That monster, he still has the strength to flee after such a fight Hohohoho..." Housen laughed as his body lost all its strength and instantly fell to the ground.

"Housen-sama!"

....

....

....

In an abandoned village, Haruto, with his whole body covered in bandages, was sitting in a dilapidated old house while a whitish aura was slowly escaping from his body.

It had been three weeks since his fight with Housen, his wounds had had time to heal but it was not the most urgent for him at the moment.

"Tatsugorou and Jirocho and all the others should have been here by now...."

Then the aura around his body slowly dissipated.

"My friends, don't worry, if you're really dead, your death won't go unpunished." He murmured as he left the abandoned village.

Walking westward without stopping he arrived two weeks later in front of a large city with huge buildings and a gigantic tower overlooking the whole city.

Spaceships were floating around, the space ports were numerous and the city was in full development.

It was the economic capital of the country, as well as the place of residence of the bakufu and the shogun Tokugawa Sada Sada.

About ten minutes later, he entered the city, but this time with a bandaged face, heading towards the Kabuki district.

Entering the Kabuki district, Haruto was slightly surprised, in the city center and in the rest of the city, the amantos in the streets seemed to be scornful of humans and the mood of the pedestrians was dark, but in this district, there was very little Amanto and the mood of the passers-by seemed quite cheerful.

Then he walked through the busy streets of the neighbourhood before stopping in front of A two-storey pub of traditional architecture.

"Snack Otose"

He opened the sliding door but saw no one inside except a woman in her late 40s with brown hair wears a dark black kimono.

The woman looked at Haruto and said

"We're closed for the week and at your age young man you should be looking for a job instead of hanging out in the pub at this time of day."

Haruto approached the woman and removed the bandages from her face and said

"Are you Otose?"

"You're in a pub named Otose and I'm the only woman here, what do you think, little genius?"

Hearing this Haruto then understood why Tatsugorou and Jirocho were afraid of this woman, her tongue is too sharp.

"Do you have news on Tatsugorou's whereabouts?"

"Why? Does he owe you money?"

"No, I'm one of those comrades."

"What's your name?" She asked as she took a cigarette before light it.

"Haruto"

"Haruto... my husband Tatsugorou is dead, one of your comrades who survived the battle brought his body to me a week ago."

On hearing this Haruto closed his eyes and lowered his head and asked

"And Jirocho?"

"I haven't heard from him."She said as she took a puff of smoke.

"Can you please take me to his grave..."
