As his mind wandered and was about to be lost in the sea of mind, he snapped back to reality upon the great breeze of the wind. His hair fluttered as he felt the momentary cold, his spiritual energy hurriedly covered his skin. Protecting him.
Behind him, a blinding light exploded without making a sound. For a second, the surroundings changed as though the sun had lightened the peak of the skyscraper for a short second!
It lasted briefly as it vanished.
"Master, you completed the agreement. According to it, you can ask me to do anything."
It was a lady around her twenties. Her face was exquisite and gentle, white skin as white snow, quite lustrous, and wearing a traditional kimono. Her hair accessory, a pin in the shape of sun tied her hair in a bun as her straight hair reached to her back.
Her hair was black, straight, and emanating a flowery fragrance. Managed to find its way into his nostrils.
She bowed as she gave her report. Like a female knight before her king but her gesture had feminine in it.
This was his informant, as well as Amaterasu's Blessed. Serving him until his end.
"Nothing in particular at the moment. Thank you for doing my request. Speaking of which, how much 'help' have I accumulated?"
Each day, he had to kill Anomalies to reach the target and as a reward, "She" through her Blessed would assist him should he asked for help.
"2849 left. I will assist you until the very end."
Narukami's heart turned soft and touched. Her strong belief in "Her" was shown mostly through her actions instead of lips, such a woman quite rare.
"Two thousand and eight hundred left, almost three hundred..." Narukami slowly recited her words as he pondered something for a short breath.
"You can return now. Thank you for reporting."
"Very well."
Her figure was then engulfed in white light as she vanished into the thin air.
"Have to say that "She" is kind enough to lend me her Blessed and even agree with my suggestion towards my reward. Does "She" respect and fear "Him" and don't want to get the bad side of "Him"?"
Narukami was a human being that "He" found interesting. Should such a soul do heavy labor every day with little rewards, "He" perhaps punish "Her".
Reaching this point.
"I'm pretty sure "He" didn't mind such developments. "He" rather finds it interesting if I get tiny rewards for doing this," he said self-deprecatingly.
After knowing "Him" for many years whether through dreams, reality and after his death. He grasped "His" personality and barely figured out "His" line of thought.
Fortunately from this, Narukami discovered that Amaterasu was a careful type. "She" won't act unless necessary and understood the situation completely.
I wonder if "She" can read my mind, he speculated and shook his head as he put it to the back of his head.
Just as his mind wandered, his lightning creatures managed to clear half of the Anomalies in the city!
Up till now, those mythical-like beings had killed around 165!
This is the last time I'll do short chapters. Tomorrow and day onwards will be 1,500 to 1,800. Enough for the plot to move.
