*****

The three of us were eating Ramen in Tokyo happily. Kunou's face was full of smiles as she ate the ramen.

It was a short trip, but it was worth it. I took Kunou back to Kyoto after we were done eating, Kappa also followed us.

While we were at it, I went to Nijo castle to see what Tsuchigumo doing with the dragon. I hope he didn't do anything strange or even taught the dragon something absurd.

The last thing that I wanted to get was a battle-crazed dragon. It would be a disaster, and Tsuchigumo's existence would be known by the mundane that lived in Kyoto.

Arriving at Nijo Castle, I saw Tsuchigumo sitting in front of the castle while smoking. The dragon was nowhere to be seen, but I could feel its energy inside the castle.

The energy was smaller compared to the first time I met the dragon, maybe it was exhausted?

"Yo, Tsuchigumo." I greeted Tsuchigumo as I raised my right hand.

Kappa followed my gesture and raised his right hand too, waving at Tsuchigumo.

"Oh? What are you doing here, visiting me all of a sudden."

"Just wanted to check on the dragon that you took. How is it?"

"Oh, that guy." Tsuchigumo puffed smoke from his mouth and held the smoke pipe with her right hand.

"That guy got stronger faster than I thought. He's also able to recover his strength in just a day. A perfect time killer for me." He smiled and pointed his pipe at me.

"So, I am grateful for that one. Don't try to take it from me."

I raised both of my hands, "Don't worry, I won't." I then lowered my hands again and smiled at Tsuchigumo.

"Rather, I got good news. In a week, there will be a friendly competition between youkai and church. Do you want to participate?"

"Hmm? Do you need to ask?" Tsuchigumo leaned his face closer to me. He was grinning happily, to the point his face turned creepy.

"Hahaha, I just wanted to say it to you. Don't worry, I will take you along. However, can you become smaller, maybe took on a human form?"

"Human form?" Asked Tsuchigumo as he fixed the way he sat, pulling his face away from me. "I don't think I can do that."

Ah, that was disappointing. I thought that he would be able to pass off as a human and decimated the exorcists, but that was impossible, huh.

"You can't do it… Well, that's not a problem. I will go then, the friendly competition will be held in a week, ask Yasaka or Kunou to bring you to Kanto."

I walked away from Tsuchigumo after I said that, Kappa followed me quietly. I began to create a magic circle to teleport us, but Tsuchigumo stopped me.

"Yeah, I will remember that. By the way, one last thing."

"Hmm?" I looked back at Tsuchigumo.

"Are the exorcists strong?" He asked.

I grinned at Tsuchigumo and said.

"They are weak. But, some of them are even stronger than the dragon in your place."

"Is that so?! I am looking forward to it then. Hahahaha." He laughed out loud.

It was so loud that the earth vibrated. As I had no more business in this place, I teleported away with Kappa, back to the backyard of my mansion in Kanto.

"Hmm~" I stretched my arms to the sky and then looked at Kappa.

"Kappa, there might be a person that comes to visit tomorrow. If you see someone suspicious, can you wake me up?"

"Hmm? Me?" Asked Kappa.

"Yeah, well, you can ask Kuroka or Tsura to wake me up too if you want to."

Kappa nodded his head. "I will ask Tsura-sama then."

"Good, then I will go back to my room and sleep." I walked away after I said that.

Kappa waved at me and I entered my room, sleeping soundly.

***

"Riku-sama, wake up. There is a guest looking for you." It felt like I just slept for 4 hours when I heard a voice above me.

"Ugh." I grumbled and opened my eyes. I saw Tsura was looking at me with a smile.

"Good morning, Riku-sama." Greeted Tsura.

I rubbed my eyes and looked around. The sky was still dark, it was still dawn. However, Tsura said that there was a guest for me.

I spread my Senjutsu and felt the energy from the room that was used to take care of the guest.

"Agh, he came in the dawn. Does he think that I am not sleeping?" I grumbled as I stood up slowly. Tsura walked to the closet and brought me a change of clothes, the striped black, and green kimono.

"Well, Kappa told me that you are expecting a guest. But, I think he came a bit faster than you thought?"

I took off the clothes that I used to sleep and changed to the Kimono that was handed to me by Tsura.

"Yeah, and to think they send that guy. Is he playing with me? Yawn~ It's still not morning yet." I fastened the Obi of my Kimono and covered my mouth.

I walked out of my room as I crossed my arms inside my kimono, making my way towards the gallery room where the guest was waiting.

"Who is that guy, Riku-sama? It seems you know him?" Asked Tsura as she walked behind me.

"Yeah, I know him. This energy came from a Longinus Sacred Gear. There is no other person than that guy."

I reached the gallery room in no time at all. I opened the sliding door and saw a young man with long blond hair in priest clothes sitting in the room while eating a meal that was prepared by our servant.

He happily devoured the meal but stopped suddenly when I entered the room. He looked at me and smiled, with rice on his cheek.

"Ah! You must be Nura Riku. Nice to meet you!" The young man greeted me.

"You must be the guy that Vasco talked about, it's nice to meet you too, Dulio Gesualdo."
