*****

I was escorted by Kunou and her bodyguard to Yasaka's residence. Tsuchigumo choose to stay at Nijo Castle after he was promised by Kunou that she will tell some youkai about his existence and they could visit him if they wanted a fight.

I thought I knew the reason why Yasaka wanted to meet me though, and that was why I agreed to meet her. Because Kyoto was beautiful and we had a lot of time to meet Yasaka as Kunou said that Yasaka just wanted to meet me and it was not an urgent matter.

That was why we decided to walk around Kyoto before I met Yasaka. I turned back to my human form and Kunou hid her tails. We just looked like normal humans from the other perspectives. Well, I got a chance to walk around with Kunou.

I told her about me trying to assemble my Hyakki Yakkou and managed to invite a lot of strong Youkai. Then she was curious about Hagoromo Gitsune that Tsuchigumo talked about earlier. Regarding that topic, I said that I will tell Yasaka first, as this matter was a bit problematic to their faction.

If another nine-tailed fox youkai was found, I bet the West Youkai Faction which had problematic internal affairs would be divided into 2 factions. Not only that, I guessed Hagoromo Gitsune would be interested in taking over Kyoto and jumped ship to the other faction.

Well, I didn't know about the latter, but the former most likely happened if Hagoromo Gitsune's existence was widely known. It would be great if she declared something alongside the line of being a member of my Hyakki Yakkou. But, her pride surely won't allow that.

After walking for a few minutes, we have arrived at the temple where Yasaka resides. Yasaka was waiting for us in front of the temple gate with an elephant youkai standing behind her… wait, what?

When Yasaka saw me and Kunou, she smiled and approached us.

"Kunou, good job my dear."

Getting a compliment from her mother, Kunou smiled as she closed her eyes, "It was no problem, Mother. I have brought Riku Onii-chan as you requested!"

"I know." Said Yasaka as she petted Kunou's head.

I took back my word, Kunou was still acting like 14 years old. She was just trying to appear mature in front of other people, but she instantly reverted back to her true self in front of her Mother. Well, at least she tried to act mature to not embarrass her Mother. That itself was good enough, instead of being childish all the time.

After petting Kunou's head for a while, Yasaka turned to me, "Riku, should we go inside now? There was a letter sent to me from the Underworld, I have yet to read it, but it was addressed to you. For some reason, it was sent here instead of your mansion."

I raised my eyebrows at her words and asked, "Why?"

Yasaka crossed her arms under her boobs and made them jiggle and looked at me with a smile on her face.

"The messenger said that he was stopped before he entered East Faction territory by a youkai with a big body with tanned skin and grey hair that said 'This is the territory of Nura Clan! As the head of the attacker squad from Nura Clan, I order you to leave!' or so the messenger said."

I understood what happened. I must talk to them later, or they will repeat it in the future. I laughed wryly at Yasaka's word and said.

"They were new, I will tell them about the courtesy to get a messenger later."

"New, huh. Well, let's have a talk inside."

As she said that, Yasaka turned around and entered the Temple. Kunou and her bodyguard followed her from behind and I also followed her. She entered the meeting room where I met Amaterasu last time and took a seat in the farthest one.

Kunou sat beside her while the bodyguard was waiting outside of the room. She was not allowed to enter because of her position and the fact that Kunou didn't need any further protection.

When I took a seat in front of her, Yasaka immediately said, "Now, here is the letter that was addressed to you."

She pulled a brown envelope from her cleavage and gave it to me. I gained some immunity towards breasts because of Kuroka and Tsura, but as a man, my gaze was still glued to Yasaka's movement. It was not something that I could control, it was an instinct.

But, because this was a rather serious situation, I tried my best to look only at the letter. I took the letter from Yasaka's hand and as I had expected, the sender was Devil Faction. I frowned as I looked at the letter, was this a declaration of war?

"I have heard what happened this afternoon. And I know you just acted in self-defense… or your friend just acted in self-defense." Said Yasaka in a joking tone.

It seems that she had realized Hagoromo Gitsune's existence. Well, she was connected to the leyline and acted as the center of the leyline, there was nothing I could do. Especially after Hagoromo Gitsune beat Rias and her peerage. Of course, a rumor would go out from the Devil Faction and then to the other Factions.

I ignored Yasaka for now and tore the brown envelope that I held. Inside the envelope was a piece of paper, I took it out and read it. I was expecting something alongside haughty writing from the Devil's elder, but unexpectedly the sender was Sirzechs himself.

Yasaka and Kunou were curious about the letter as they looked at me without saying anything, that was why I read the letter loud enough for them to hear.

"Hello, Nura Riku. My name is Sirzechs Lucifer. The reason why I sent this letter was I wanted to apologize for my Sister's behavior. Sona Sitri had explained the details to me, and it was purely my Sister's fault for attacking you without hearing your explanation. But, I hope you can understand her situation for now and forgive her. I will add one more Phoenix Tears to your house later as a gift for my Sister's behavior. I hope we can meet in a later day, Lucifer."

That was… unexpected. He asked for forgiveness for his sister and didn't blame me even a little bit. I didn't mind, or rather, I didn't care if Rias attacked me as she can't do anything to me. But, getting a gift from Sirzechs was enough to compensate for her attack.

But, as he didn't put compensation in his letter, that meant he was expecting me to ask for something from him. This is a big plus for me, as I had something that I wanted to ask from him.

"So the matter was settled?" Asked Yasaka.

I nodded my head at Yasaka and smiled at her, "I was never expecting an apology from the Devils."

"To be honest, me too. But, this could be a sign, that the Devils tried to gain peace." Answered Yasaka.

"Well, it's good, right?" I said as I closed my right eye.

"It was good, indeed. Now, let's talk about your friend, shall we?" Yasaka closed her eyes and gave me her biggest smile. For some reason, when I saw her smile, I could see that she was mad at me.

But! That didn't affect me even one bit. "Hahahaha, sure. About my friend, Hagoromo Gitsune, the nine-tailed fox youkai."
