13 Trillville

when the car pulled in the mansion and Takeo was greeted by his maids, Kana took him towards the specially built dojo on the property. The Ichinose family's property was located just outside the city, sitting on over 300 acres worth of land. The G&G Group was able to stay under the radar by using the cover of the many real estate companies that they owned, the property was divided into several smaller mansions and other buildings making it look more like a luxury gated community. Takeo's private mansion sat on 20 acres worth of land, the mansion had 140 rooms and 100 bathrooms, a gym movie theater, a full underground laboratory and so on and so forth.

He had both an outdoor and indoor pool, a grotto with a waterfall that lay out in a pond, it also had a tennis court, a basketball court, and a recently built dojo. To say this mansion was amazing was an understatement, when they arrived at the dojo two people could be seen waiting on them. They were dressed in a traditional red and white hakama, on the left was a male that could be described as being very handsome, with a long, youthful face. Standing at 175 cm with reddish brown hair in a topknot and piercing emerald green eyes, he had a stern look on his face and looked to be in his late teens.

Next to him was another very handsome young man, He was tall and lean and had long slicked-back black hair that reaches his waist, leaving one lock of bangs on the left-hand side of his face. He also had dark violet eyes and stood at about 188 cm in height, one could almost mistake him for a scholarly-looking man in his mid 20's. He had a charming smile on his face, one that looked totally harmless but one look at his eyes would make you think otherwise despite his smile they were cold and ruthless.

After walking in he started briefing them on today's plans. Not long after they started showing him the magics he created last night, and to be honest Takeo was quite surprise at the level of damage they caused. Coupled with the Shinmei-ryū sword style they were upgraded to a whole new level of destruction, seeing this a smile crept on Takeo's face and made him look like a creep peeping on the girls bath. This went on for another hour before he received a text on his mobile terminal, it was Mio telling him that her and the guests were pulling in the mansion right now.

He quickly told the two brothers about it, and made his way towards the front with Kana in tow. In less than a minute a white limousine pulled up to the Dojo, it was built based on the Hummer H2 from his old world but what made it special was its Gullwing rear door entry. Takeo absolutely loved the thing and would avoid using it as a much as possible, but since he had no other cars that could transport so many people comfortably he had to made this sacrifice. When the car stopped bothe doors opened up by themselves allowing the passengers to exit, Erika was the first one to step down and she had stars in her eyes, No she was more like a kid in a candy store raving about how big and beautiful my mansion was.

Leo was no different and to be honest he kinda expected him to be like this but not Erika, after all she was the youngest daughter of the Chiba clan's head. Both Mizuki and honoka were looking around in astonishment, while Shiba-san, Shizuku and the unnamed boy only took a quick look before nodding. This house was a bit smaller than Kitayama family's estate, but the scenic view of the waterfront was absolutely majestic. Smiling at them Takeo said "Welcome to my humble abode, this is Kana my assistant and the lovely lady who drove you here is Mio." At this both ladies bowed in a polite manner which prompted a round of introductions, it was at this time that Takeo realized that the male he passed on the hallway was Shiba-san older brother. "Err sorry to ask this but can i call you Tatsuya, because say Shiba whe there are two of you will get confusing."

The boy nodded and said "Yes that would be preferable thank you very much Ichinose -san." Takeo nodded at his answer before replying "Well since i will now call you by your first name wouldn't it be fair for you to call me by mine?" The group made they're way towards the back where the dojo was located, and during that time they talked about many different stuff. Erika asked what did his family do for them to own such a luxurious house, a question to which Takeo actually enjoyed answering . Smiling he said "My family own businesses in many different fields and not to brag but this is my private property not the family's." This bomb actually shocked the whole group, even Tatsuya who has the emotional abilities of a rock was shocked for brief second before recovering.

In no time we arrived at the dojo, where the two brothers were waiting for us bokken in hand. At this Erika smiled in a cheeky manner before turning to me and said "Oh so this why you invited me huh? well no need to ask further i happily oblige" Before Takeo could answer she ran forward and asked the boys where the changing rooms were located and ran after being given the direction. Shaking his head he guided the group inside, once there we sat down in the viewing area and were served tea by Kana as we waited. "So you invited us here to watch Erika spar?" Leo asked tilting his in a confused manner, at his words the group looked at Takeo for clarifications. "Yes and no. I invited you here because i felt like it, and also because going out to the cafe for cakes and sandwiches was to repetitive. Besides we can have a full meal as a group of friends, have the space and i live alone with my maids, assistants, and driver so why not have the company of friends every once in awhile."

Hearing this everybody nodded in understanding, though Takeo could swear he saw that everybody too it as a different meaning. In the back of his mind he hoped that they were not thinking something weird like 'he was lonely' or whatever, he heard the sound of the door to the changing room open and turned to see Erika coming out. By doing that he failed to see the look on both Honoka and Mizuki faces they looked at him with pity in they're eyes, Erika was wearing a matching red and white hakama with a smile on her face. She walked towards the wall displaying a large selections of bokken in different sizes, to be honest Erika looked a bit taken aback by the sheer size of it all and it honestly rivaled that of the Chiba family's own.

After selecting her weapon, Erika walked up to the middle of the room and bowed before saying "My name is Chiba Erika 15 years old, may i have the pleasure of knowing which one of you will be my opponent?" Leo had a dumbfounded expression on his face, since this was the first time he saw her acting this way. He probably would have never thought she could even behave that way, seeing his reaction the entire group started laughing at him. Even Tatsuya smilled at his display, which in turned caused him to go a bit red due to embarrassment.

After saying her part, Erika stood there with a serious look on her face as she stared in the direction of the two boys standing next to each other, suddenly the younger one of the two stepped up and walked towards her in a calm manner. he stopped a few feet away from her and said. "My name is Chizaru Eiji like wise 15 years old, and the pleasure is all mine." after finishing his words he took on a basic sword stance with the sword, seeing his actions Erika did the same and took on a basic stance.

They stood there for a few seconds before Erika made the first move.
