*****

I looked straight at Ophis's eyes after she said that. She was dead serious.

What kind of thing that Vali and the other told her about me?

"How?" I asked Ophis. "How can I help you get rid of the Great Red? I am nothing but a weak youkai." I shrugged my shoulders and glanced at Vali.

He was laughing. That bastard was laughing.

"Hmm?" Ophis tilted her head cutely. "Vali, you said that he's strong?" She then asked Vali.

"Yeah, he's stronger than me. Maybe he's even stronger than you?" Answered Vali.

Tsk!

I clicked my tongue inside my mind as I saw Ophis walk towards me.

No shit.

I was stronger than Ophis? If that was true, then I would kill Rizevim and the others earlier before they built Khaos Brigade.

No, I would be able to take the youkai to some remote place and enjoy the show. I would only move when the one who tried to protect the world had almost lost.

Ophis was now standing in front of me and looked at me in my eyes.

"You are strong." She said calmly. "Help me get my silence back?"

Silence.

I could make her a place where she won't be bothered, but I think she won't be satisfied by that.

Silence in her words maybe meant her home in the Dimensional Gap.

I don't know whether my Fear worked in Dimensional Gap or not. So I can't promise her.

"How?" I asked again. This time I put on a serious face. "What is there for me? What do I get from helping you?"

Ophis's mouth gaped as she muttered, "Ah…"

She then nodded her head, "That's right… I will give you power."

Kurotabo was confused by what Ophis said, but the others in the room understood what she said.

Maybe someone from Khaos Brigade would be tempted by that. One of two Dragon Gods offered you power just by giving her a promise to help her.

They were a sly bunch. They didn't hold promise as high as I am.

If I promised someone, I would fulfill my promise.

That was why I couldn't promise Ophis.

So I rejected her power.

"I don't need it."

Ophis was surprised.

"Why?" She asked.

"Because I don't need your strength. I don't need power given by you."

Even if she gave me that snake that could make someone stronger. I doubt that it will make my Fear stronger too.

"So, Ophis. Tell me about something."

I began to surround my body with Fear. Blue Haori appeared on my shoulder and my body blurred.

Ophis was visibly confused, he looked at me who stood in front of her while tilting her gaze.

"Can you see the real me?" I said loudly as I took a bottle of sake from the shelf behind Tobio.

My body that stood in front of Ophis melted and she looked around, confused. She then finally found me as she looked in my direction.

The others in the room also found me after Ophis.

"Damn, that's neat." Exclaimed Azazel as he whistled.

"No matter how many times I saw that technique, I can't feel his real body." Said Vali as he smiled bitterly.

"So that's the power of Nura?! That's why that old man said that you won't be able to catch Nurarihyon if he's trying to run from you." Exclaimed Bikou with shining eyes.

I ignored them for now because I was still talking with Ophis.

"So, Ophis. Can you feel the real me? I don't need your power, but I also can't help you. But… There is one thing that you can do if you really need my help." I smirked at Ophis as I said that.

"What is it? You are strong. I can't feel you. So help me."

When I heard her answer, a grin plastered into my face.

Right now I was the leader of the East Youkai Clan.

Helping Ophis would put my faction in danger. With helping Ophis that was known as the leader of the Khaos Brigade, although she was actually just a figurehead, my faction would be considered helping Khaos Brigade.

The story would be different if Ophis was the one who help me.

It would be different if Ophis left her place as Khaos Brigade leader.

I disappeared from behind the bar and stood in front of Ophis as I extended my right hand.

"Join me, Ophis. Join my Hyakki Yakkou and I will help you. My subordinates, more than a hundred youkai will help you. Maybe I can't defeat Great Red, but I can give your silence back in the dimensional gap. If you can't feel me at that time, I will make you can't feel Great Red. How about it?"

Indeed, I couldn't defeat Great Red.

But I had a plan after seeing how Ophis reacted when I used my technique.

I couldn't defeat Great Red, but I could make him or Ophis disappear. They wouldn't be able to feel each other, then Ophis would gain her silence back.

Dimensional Gap was vast, so the chance of them meeting with each other was slim, to begin with.

"How about it?" I asked Ophis with a grin.

"He's crazy." Said Azazel.

"Indeed. To think that he will do that." Added Vali.

"Join me, Ophis. If you help me, then I will help you."

Ophis was hesitant. She raised her hand, then lowered it again. She did it a few times already.

Maybe she was thinking about it.

She was thinking whether she should take my hand or not.

If she took my hand, I would help her get rid of Great Red's presence. However, Great Red would still be in the Dimensional Gap.

When Ophis was hesitant, Azazel shouted once again.

"Oi, Riku! You are a crazy bastard! To think you will ask her to join your faction. What a reckless bastard."

He was shouting, but there was an excited smile on his face.

"Riku-sama is indeed like that. He will invite everyone, even his enemy, to join his Hyakki Yakkou." Kurotabo tilted his hat with his hand as he smiled.

Everyone was waiting, they were waiting for Ophis's answer with excitement.

"How about it?" I asked once again.

Finally, Ophis took my hand and nodded her head.

"Help me. Give my silence back and make Great Red's presence disappear."

"Ou, leave it to me."

It was at that time, I got a loli dragon. My Hyakki Yakkou has become something else, it was turned into something absurd.
