Guests

"We would gladly accept your invitation, Lady Yasaka."

After Raizel accepted Yasaka's invitation, they were led by her to the main base of Yokai faction. Along the way, they met some yokais that were searching for Yasaka.

Yasaka explained what happened and they finally calmed down. From Yasaka's explanation, it turns out she was just going out to enjoy.

But along the way near a forest, a large group of stray devils ambushed her and surrounded her which made it hard for her to escape, so she decided to fight back.

And among them were many high class in strength, she doesn't know the reason for the attack though.

After being momentarily surprised by the sudden ambush, she also managed to fight back. And as a faction leader, she naturally has the strength to back it up.

But even with her strength, fighting many high class beings, she was naturally injured too. Not only that, her strength was weakened due to some circumstance regarding her daughter's birth.

Even with all that, she managed to kill most of their forces, the problem is she was gravely injured at that time. So she decided to escape, but she was also cornered by the group which Raizel later killed. And that's how the whole story went.

"I see, then let me thank you for saving Yasaka-sama." A humanoid crow said while bowing his head a bit towards Raizel as respect.

"You're welcome, we also happen to pass by there and fortunately saw her." Raizel said

"Enough about that, Karasu-Tengu lead us to my home. I've invited Raizel-san to thank him for saving me. Prepare a feast later," Yasaka ordered to which Karasu-Tengu, or the himsnoid crow saluted.

"Yes, Yasaka-sama it shall be done."

Now Raizel along with Yasaka and Jeanne, is sitting inside a large room. They were now in the main base of Western Youkai Faction led by Yasaka.

"Raizel-san, may I ask if and Jeanne-san are a member of any faction? I know it is rude to ask but I need answer as the leader of Kyoto Youkai Faction." Yasaka asks while staring directly on Raizel's eyes.

"...Yes we are part of a faction, but as I said earlier we don't have any malicious intent in coming here to Kyoto. We merely wanted to enjoy our time here." Raizel said simply

"Mm, thank you for being honest. But what faction exactly are you in currently?"

"...It's Grigori, Lady Yasaka." He replied honestly, he already decided to tell her. It is a way to show sincerity towards Yasaka, and also so in the future they could build a good relationship to the Youkai Faction.

"Hmm, I see...but let us forget about that. Today, I invited you two here so I could thank you for saving my life. You can go around and look around the place first. I will have someone guide you in touring our place. But please come back later as we will have a feast." Yasaka said while smiling.

"Thank you, lady Yasaka. But before we go out..." After saying so, Raizel transformed back to his child form which somewhat surprised Yasaka but quickly calmed down.

"Is that your true age? But what did you use to transform, I could certainly tell that your transformation earlier was not merely magic. It was a true adult body." Yasaka asks curiously

"That was senjutsu I used to transform." He replied calmly.

"Senjutsu? You can also use senjutsu? But you're not a youkai, are you a sage in training?" Yasaka asks

"Hmm...You can think so..." He says before signaling for Jeanne to follow him. "Then Lady Yasaka, we will your around here first."

Yasaka nodded, and ordered someone to guide the two around the place first, while waiting for the feasts.

"Wow, this place is so beautiful. Don't you think too, Raizel?" Jeanne asks as she look around the beautiful scenery of the Kyoto Youkai Faction.

"Hm Yes, it's really beautiful." Raizel answered simply but he was also marveling at the view.

The youkai with them that was acting as a guide, looked proud as their home was being praised.

Currently, Raizel along with Jeanne and a guide were touring the main base of Kyoto Youkai faction. It was truly a beautiful place, with various sceneries.

Along the way, they also saw many youkais walking around and looking at them with curiosity. The youkais here were very friendly too, after the guide explained that Raizel saved their leader, Yasaka.

But while they were touring around, Raizel also contacted Azazel to say that he and Jeanne will not be able to go home yet as they are invited to a feast.

{Azazel, we can't go home for now. We have been invited to a feast.} Raizel said through magic communication, of course their guide hasn't noticed as Raizel hid that he was using magic.

{Hooh...a feast eh...} Azazel at the other side, smirked.

{What were you thinking, you perverted old man. I'll tell you now but we're in the main base of Kyoto Youkai faction. We were invited to a feast after I saved Lady Yasaka from danger.} He said

{Hmm...I see, good job. With this we can have a more friendly relationship with their faction. Alright, you can stay there with Jeanne.} Azazel said seriously, the man should already be thinking of some plans to possibly ally with the Youkai Faction.

{Alright, bye.} After that he ended the communication and continued touring around.

----------

After they were done with the tour, they came back to the main castle where Yasaka live currently. Arriving there, Raizel and Jeanne we're surprised to see various dishes arranged in a long table.

"What do you think of this, Raizel-san Jeanne-san?" Yasaka greeted the two while smiling.

"You really didn't need to do this, Lady Yasaka. Nonetheless, we are thankful for your hospitality." Raizel said sincerely, he was followed by Jeanne who said her thanks too.

"Fufufu, dont worry this is my way to thank you for saving me. Come, let's have a feast." Yasaka motioned for them to sit down the chairs prepared.

The whole set up of the feast were in a european style, it seems the youkais were considerate enough as they took in consideration of Raizel and Jeanne's nationality. As the two do look like of european descent, which is true at least for Jeanne.

After that they had a sumptuous meal with Yasaka and some youkai elders. Raizel and Jeanne enjoyed the feast, as the food is delicious and the youkais were fun to hang out with.

Raizel and Jeanne also met Kunuo, Yasaka's daughter which is currently 1 and few months old, turning to two in a few months time. They like the company of Kunou too.

Unfortunately, all things must come to and. After staying in the Youkai faction for a whole night, the two left in the morning.
