6 Pest Control

It has been a week since Kojiro got a new place to stay and opened up his cafe. Kojiro looks at Serafall Leviathan, leaving his cafe after eating a dozen lava cakes and drinking 5 cups of coffee. Kojiro is rather proud of his coffee machine that he creates using his Brewing specialty.

During the week, Kojiro can deal with many pests that try to attack the local youkai population and kidnap some children. After talking about it with Yasaka, Kojiro knows that the Stray Devil kidnaps the children because their life force is still pure and not tainted like an adult. On the previous day, Kojiro encountered a unique person.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~6 Days Ago~

Kojiro is currently walking around the streets of Kyoto after closing the cafe. While walking, he thought about the new upgrade to his sword. The upgrade is a device that coating his sword with an Anti-Magic forcefield. With that device, Kojiro can make his sword into a Rule Breaker or at least something like that. With it, he can cut out someone's magic from itself, making his enemy lose all his/her magic for a certain amount of time.

Sadly he needs to add another charge into the Anti-Magic Weapon (2/300), so he can make the device that is suitable for his spirit weapon. He also created another specialty; Penetration (1/100). With this specialty, he was able to add another effect to his device, making it generate a forcefield that made his sword able to penetrate a thick skin or even a magic barrier.

He also created Pocket Dimension (1/800), where he can create a device to open a pocket dimension where he can store any non-living being inside it. Currently, the size of his pocket dimension is around 5-meter cubic. So right now, he can't store many items inside of it. However, knowing that this device is working as he intended, Kojiro decided to focus on this specialty and his Anti-Magic Weapon as his priority.

Kojiro also added other charges to his Brewing (2/15), making his coffee even tastier than ever. As for his last charges, Kojiro uses it for his Anti-Magic Armor (2/275).

In the morning, after using all his charges, Kojiro began to buy the necessary item to create the device he wished to create. He finishes his first device in the form of a necklace that can be used as an anchor to his pocket dimension. The next item is the ring that coats his sword with a forcefield that gives his sword insane penetration power and effect of Rule Breaker.

After he finished making all the devices he wanted, Kojiro opened his cafe and worked from morning to evening. After the cafe closed, Kojiro walked around the street, so here he is, walking the streets of Kyoto, enjoying the scenery and the air of Kyoto.

As he walks around for another minute, He hears an explosion in the distance. Kojiro quickly follows the sound of the explosion, and after running for a minute, he sees Yasaka and some of her bodyguards fighting against a hybrid of Dragon and a Human.

Suddenly the giant Dragon hybrid tosses Yasaka away with its tail. Kojiro looks at Yasaka coming toward him and catches her before she can touch the ground.

"Are you okay, Yasaka?"

"I'm fine… Eh? Kojiro? What are you doing here?"

"I was hearing some explosion in the distance and decided to check it out."

"Please get away from here. He is not something you can fight against."

"Who is he?"

"He is a Stray Devil with the codename, Lung the Dragon. He has a power that makes him more powerful every second he fights… What are you doing?"

Kojiro walks toward Lung and sees that Lung has not yet become a dragon fully, and the temperature around him is not yet reaching a three-digit celsius. Without hesitation, Kojiro summoned his sword and activated his device and coated his sword with the effect.

Lung looks at Kojiro, coming toward him and begins to shoot a torrent of fire toward the incoming enemy. Seeing the fire, Kojiro dodges it with ease, but as he dodges the fire, Lung tail hits him in the chest.

As he staggered a little by the force of Lung tail, Yasaka appeared near Lung and shot him with a foxfire that did damage toward Lung's current form. Sadly by doing so, Lung's body becomes bigger as his power makes him more powerful.

"I irr kirrr ou."

Kojiro didn't know the meaning of Lung's words, but he knew what Lung wanted to say. 'I will kill you' That is the word Lung wants to say, but sadly his ability to speak becomes less and less workable as he gets more powerful.

Seeing Lung getting distracted, Kojiro appears near Lung and jumps up then cuts his arm off cleanly.

*ROAR* *ROAR*

Lung roars in pain as his arms are cut off by his sword. Yasaka retreats after seeing Lung getting bigger and bigger. Yasaka sees Lung getting bigger, but his arm still not yet regenerated.

"That is odd, Why is his arms not regenerated?"

Yasaka looks at Kojiro and wants some answers, but unfortunately, Kojiro is currently focusing on Lung getting bigger and bigger. Lung bodies also began releasing a heat aura that can melt some metal.

Without wasting time, Kojiro begins to charge at Lung with his sword in hand. Lung, seeing Kojiro run at him, fires another torrent of fire at him, but this time with a wider area so he will not escape. Seeing the fire, Kojiro raised his sword and swung it down and cut the fire with his sword. Kojiro continues to charge at Lung, and when he is in front of the large body of Lung, Kojiro jumps high in the air and raises his sword once more. When he swung down his sword that aimed at Lung's head, it was blocked by Lung's other hand that prevented Kojiro from killing Lung.

Seeing that Lung didn't have any arms left, Kojiro ready his sword once again, but before he could charge at Lung once more, Lung regenerated his other arms.

"Look like, the effect only works for one minute before the anti-magic effect disappears. However, it should be enough."

Kojiro charges at Lung once again, and like before, Lung tries to kill Kojiro with his fire that can melt almost anything by the look at the ground that has already become lava. After cutting the fire in half, Kojiro jumps high in the air and sees Lung raise his hand to prevent him from cutting his head. Kojiro smirked a little and landed on Lung's arms and prepared his stance.

"Hiken - Tsubame Gaeshi"

After he says that, reality bends at his will. Three attacks appear at the same time and create a prison for Lung. It starts with a flash from this World, followed by two absolutely simultaneous, overlapping flashes that disregard the concept of time and space, producing a slash attack that arrives from three different directions.

This is his Noble Phantasm. The reason why Sasaki Kojirou is known as the equal to Miyamoto Musashi. This Noble Phantasm that let him reach Infinity and match Miyamoto Musashi Emptiness.

*SPLURT*

The Tsubame Gaeshi successfully killed Lung as his first attack cut Lung's arm in half while the other separated Lung head from his neck, and the last one cut his head in half.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yasaka looks at Kojiro successfully and kills Lung, one of the most powerful Stray in the World. The one that makes Thor the God of Thunder uses his True Form. At first, Yasaka only wants to drive Lung out of her city and make him bored at her attempt to fight him until he goes away to the other city. However, as she fought Lung, Kojiro appeared out of nowhere and began to fight Lung. At first, Yasaka doubted he was able to fight Lung on the equal ground, but after seeing he could cut his arm, Yasaka suddenly filled hope once more. She also looks at the arms that do not immediately regenerate, which is surprising as Lung has insane regeneration power. They continue to fight for another 5 minutes before suddenly Kojiro lands on Lung's hand and says something that makes her shocked.

"Hiken - Tsubame Gaeshi"

At first, she thought that Kojiro only imitated the attack, but seeing the result of 3 sword slash that appeared at the same time, Yasaka knew that this man is the real Sasaki Kojiro or at least his successor that surpassed him in swordsmanship.

Sasaki Kojiro, The lone swordsman of Infinity.

Yasaka looks at the Kojiro figure that shines under the moonlight as his hair dances in the air because of the wind of night. Yasaka couldn't help but blush a little.
