Author note:

Hello~

It's been a long time since I put Author Note

I saw a lot of comment asking "How strong is the MC now?"

I will answer that, he's now as strong as Ultimate Rank Devil or even Super Devil if he meet a perfect opponent that can't do AoE attack which is impossible since this is DxD.

If he used Matoi with a lot of youkai at once, then he will have a chance to cripple even Ajuka as the MC can counter the Kankara Formula with his Sacred Gear.

Well then, Enjoy the Chapter!

The youkai that attended the meeting smiled and focused their gaze on us.

"Today, I plan to use this chance to tell you guys about something and announce my successor."

My old man said as he took out his smoke pipe and smoked it. The other youkai were chattering with each other, they were guessing what something that my old man talked about.

The youkai had varieties of looks. A youkai that looked like a Chinese dragon's body with a big human face, a youkai that had two heads, a youkai with a big body wearing a white mask, and the others.

I looked at them and was amazed by their strength. Although they were clan leaders, they were still youkai, the creatures that were not famous for their strength. But, the clan leaders that attended this meeting had at least the power of high rank or medium rank in terms of supernatural.

The youkai that gathered here were just part of the East Youkai Faction. I didn't really know the strength of the West Youkai Faction, but I guessed that their strength was similar or a bit weaker than ours.

"Commander! Can you hurry up and tell us about that something?" The youkai with a scary face and green skin that wore a rag raised his hand and asked my old man.

"That's right, Commander! Hurry up! You know that we can't take something half-assed like that!" The youkai with one big eye and black hair shouted on top of his lung as he crossed his arm.

"If you gather us here, then that something must be important for our Faction! But, please introduce us to your successor first. I saw a young man that was similar to you and an unfamiliar girl, which one is your successor?!" A youkai wearing a white mask with a huge body asked my old man as he leaned his body forward.

"Don't be impatient! Commander wanted us to calm down first before he tell us about his plan." A youkai with long hair wearing a dark green kimono and black haori spoke up.

The other youkai started to state their opinion openly. Some of them even fought each other to prove that their opinion was the correct one.

My old man just smiled while watching the youkai bickering with each other. I also found this sight of youkai bickering with each other as something pleasant, something that was natural for it to happen between youkai.

"They are a noisy bunch, different from the Ayakashi from my place."

Hagoromo Gitsune said as she opened her fan in front of her mouth. She was looking at the youkai with narrowed eyes.

"Lively, ain't it? I love the way they stated their opinions openly instead of kicking each other in the back like other factions." I said to Hagoromo Gitsune as I looked at the youkai.

I really like the way youkai does their things. Unlike devils who planned behind each other back or Angels who followed the order from seraph, the Youkai will state their displeasure right in front of each other face so they know each other opinions and finally they will settle it without any bloodbath.

Some youkai retorted to bloodbath though, but it will not to the point of the war. At most, they will duel each other and get satisfied after the duel before drinking with each other again.

"Lively, but foolish. As expected of youkai under Nurarihyon." Said Hagoromo Gitsune with a tone filled with ridicule.

"Even so, they are united under his banner, none of them will defy him or me." I answered Hagoromo Gitsune with a smirk on my face.

"Don't be too impatient. I will tell you about it." My old man finally spoke up and the other youkai went silent immediately as they turned their gaze to my old man.

With my old men spoken, the atmosphere tensed all of a sudden. They were anticipating what my old man said with a smile on their face.

"The terrorist organization that I kept my eyes on was on the move. They began to move when my son, Riku, killed Kokabiel."

"Hahahaha, so that long-haired ugly fallen angel has been killed by young master!" Shouted one of the youkai that attended the meeting.

"No one can beat us! Long live East Youkai Faction!"

The atmosphere had turned lively once again, such change often happened in the meeting of youkai.

"Be quiet!" My old man shouted and the youkai shut their mouth instantly.

"Don't focus on Kokabiel, the organization that I tracked is more dangerous than him. They targeted all supernatural, the most annoying bunch among them were the ones who called themselves Hero Faction and a faction that was led by someone we all hate."

My old man narrowed his eyes and dropped his smile. The other youkai also put on a serious face as their aura spilled over their body.

"Old Devils Faction, am I correct, Commander?" The youkai with long hair gritted his teeth as he said that.

I also put on a serious face after I heard my old man. Indeed, even if I didn't meet them yet, hearing their name made me disgusted.

Hagoromo Gitsune who didn't know about Old Devil Faction was looking around the room, confused by the sudden change. She leaned her head near my ear and whispered.

"Who is this Old Devils Faction and Hero Faction? Are they different from the devil?"

I glanced at Hagoromo Gitsune and said.

"They are vermin of this world. They wanted the devil to rule over the other faction and races. In another word, they are the mind behind the terrorist organization. The Hero Faction wanted humans to be free from other supernaturals. In simple terms, they are racists."

"The idiot type then. Are they strong?"

I nodded my head a little. I hate to admit it, but the old devil faction had a super devil in their rank while the hero faction had the True Longinus' user. I can defeat Cao Cao in a fight, as long as no one disturbs us. Rizevim Lucifer, I need to get a balance breaker before I am confident enough to defeat him.

Maybe I can defeat him if I used Matoi with Hagoromo Gitsune or with a lot of youkai at once, but nothing is certain in a fight.

"Now, I wanted the youkai from East Faction to put their guard up. Hero Faction will target us soon, their target would be Nine-tailed fox youkai."

"Lady Yasaka?" Asked one of the youkai.

My old man nodded his head.

"Not only Yasaka but Kunou, her daughter, would be targeted too. We can leave them to west youkai because we had one more target of protection."

My old man turned his gaze toward Hagoromo Gitsune.

"Oh, I will be targeted too? How dare they target this lady." Said Hagoromo Gitsune in displeased tone as she closed her fan and narrowed her eyes.

"She's nine-tailed fox youkai?!" Exclaimed one of the youkai in the meeting as he pointed his index finger toward Hagoromo Gitsune.

"How can it be?! Can you prove it to us?" Asked the one-eyed youkai.

Silently, Hagoromo Gitsune's tails appeared from her back. The other youkai eyes widened in surprise when they saw her tail.

My old man turned his gaze back to the other youkai.

"Now you understood it. We will protect her too."

"This lady doesn't need your protection, Nurarihyon." Hagoromo Gitsune refused with a firm tone.

Both of them were looking at each other intensely, I can't stand this any longer so I spoke.

"I will take care of her alone, old man. We will go to Kyoto when the Hero faction launched their attack, or better yet, I will attack Hero Faction with my Hyakki Yakkou tomorrow."

My old man smiled as if waiting for my answer.

"Fine! But don't attack them. Their base is located outside of Japan, outside of our territory. We will be suspected to attack the other faction if we entered their territory without notice beforehand. I will leave her protection to you, Riku."

"Leave it to me, old man."
