*****

Kunou takes us to a meeting room located in the middle of the temple. She knocked on the door three times and said.

"Mother, I bring Nurarihyon-sama with Riku-sama here."

"Please enter." Answered a voice beyond the door.

Kunou entered the door and entered the meeting room. The room has a tatami floor and 5 Zabuton that was arranged into facing each other. Right after the door was opened, I saw Yasaka sitting on the Zabuton on the left while a girl with black hair and purple eyes was sitting in her left, between the Zabuton. So that left the room with 3 empty Zabuton that I guessed was provided for us.

She was wearing a standard Miko outfit with her hair tied in a ponytail with a red ribbon. She was also wearing some kind of forehead protector with red color and golden edge. On the middle of the forehead protector was a green gem and a golden crescent moon that was looking up at the gem.

There is also a sword resting on her left, ready to be picked up anytime.

'So she's Amaterasu?'

Kunou and my old man entered the room immediately with me following him from behind. Kunou sat beside Yasaka while my old man sat across Yasaka with crossed legs.

I took a seat beside my old man and sat with my legs crossed too. I was not used to sitting in Seiza, so I just sat however I wanted. I looked at Amaterasu and saw her giggling while looking at us while Yasaka has a bit of frown on her face as she shook her head.

"Shall we begin then?" Asked Amaterasu while having a straight face as she looked at Yasaka and my old man.

"Sure, I called my son as you requested. Is this something related to bats?" Asked my old man as he looked at Amaterasu.

Amaterasu nodded her head and confirmed my old man's question. "Not only them but it was also related to three factions. I was informed by Michael that the church's holy swords were stolen."

When Amaterasu said that, I could guess where is this going. I smiled under the shadow of my bang, closed my right eyes, and looked at Amaterasu.

"Excalibur's Shards, right?"

Amaterasu was a bit surprised that I know about the swords. She nodded her head with her mouth opened a little and said.

"That's right. That's why I asked Nurarihyon to call you here as you are the watcher of Kuoh Town."

It's a shame that I didn't bring the Excalibur that I got from Freed here. I looked at my old man and saw him smirking at me. He knows, huh. Well, I was planning to give the Excalibur back to the church though. I just wanted the Excalibur Nightmare, nothing else.

"Well, the thing is. Your guess was correct. The stolen Excalibur's Shards were in Kuoh Town, I found one a few hours ago and managed to recover it. Maybe you could use this sword to make Heaven owe something to us?" I said to Amaterasu with a smirk on my face.

She catches what I was implying and smiled. "Yes, absolutely. I must inform you that they had stolen 3 Excalibur's Shards. So please don't lower your guard against them."

I nodded my head and said. "Don't worry about it, I'm strong. I must inform you something that Heaven hides though and I need permission from the leaders here to do something."

Yasaka and Amaterasu looked at me curiously while my old man was laughing.

"Hahaha, tell us, Riku. What permission did you need?" asked my old man, representing the Youkai and Shinto leader.

"First, there are fallen angels near the Kuoh Town. I need permission to deal with them if they entered the town without telling me. Second, the Excalibur's thief. I think they are the same fallen angels that entered Kuoh Town. There are 3 of them entering the Kuoh Town, but they are dealt by the devils."

With my information, Amaterasu was descending into deep thought. My old man too has frowned on his face and asked me.

"Any information about the fallen angels? Is it Azazel?"

I shook my head at his question. It is Kokabiel, but I don't think informing them this early will make them. Maybe my old man will, but I don't know about Yasaka and Amaterasu.

Amaterasu has finished thinking and looking at me. "I permit it. How about the two of you?"

Yasaka nodded her head and said. "I will give you my permission too. If you need help from my faction, feel free to contact me."

My old man who I thought will just nod his head and laughing has said. "Are you sure that you don't need any help?"

I nodded my head full of confidence and said. "I am. There are also Tsura and Kuroka with me, don't worry about it."

My old man scratched the side of his head and said.

"I mean, I think that I remembered pissing off some of the fallen angels a few hundred years ago. So… you know the rest of it."

He laughed out loud that made Yasaka hold her head and Amaterasu look at him in amazement. Kunou was silent like usual, closing her eyes and listening to the conversation.

I, on the other hand, was a bit pissed by my old man. He had pissed some fallen angels a few hundred years ago? This foreshadow was too coincidental with the timing.

"Damn it, old man. Don't you give me such foreshadow! Usually, those kinds of opponents will get stronger when they realized my identity!"

"Hahahahaha, but you are confident that you can run away if the situation is disadvantageous, am I right?"

With him saying that I can't say anything more besides smiling and closed my right eyes as I said.

"Of course, I am. I am stronger than you and faster at running away because of you too, old man."

"Now they have increased…" Muttered Yasaka.

"Yes, they are…" added Amaterasu.

I, no, we ignored them and laughed ourselves out while Kunou was looking at us with a small smile on her face.
