Meanwhile Aruma , Gorosuke were looking around for the third demon in the pyre ground.

" This is ridiculous " said Jetchi as he looked around

" I know right , three generals vs 2 masters , and 3 students " said Ryo

" I can't wait to get my hands on them " said Kazuki as he cracked his knuckle

Aruma took a huge sniff.

" Woah what was that " asked Hiro

" Rhy and Tum are not nearby , however the 3rd demon is in our close proximity. Weirdly that demon is girl " said Aruma

" Girl like Woman or like Girl girl " said Hiro

Everyone gave him a weird look , a look of disgust

" She's not more than 10 years old , does bastards , didn't even showed mercy to the little kid " added Aruma

" Well how we are going to fight them ? If we don't even know where they are " asked Hiro

" We are 5 " said Jetchi

" One can stay here for Hiroshi and Mimiko and others can divide into a group of 2 , if someone finds them , just send a signal " suggested Ryo

" Breaking again ? Dude , we literally were separated moments ago , and they use our strategy against us " said Hiro

" Boy is right , if each master goes with one student we can find them " said Gorosuke

" Who the fuck counted ? We are 6 " said Aruma

" That little Grunty ass egoistic boy " said Aruma

" It's Kazuki , you drunkard " said Kazuki

" The Fatso " said Aruma

" Hey , I am healthy !! " shouted Jetchi

" The wanna be smart one " he added

" Wanna be ? " said Ryo

" And the vessel " said Aruma

" It's Hiro... " said Hiro in a lower voice

" 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 Me and You ah shit we are 6 " said Gorosuke as he sighed

" Only one way to find the solution " said Aruma

Aruma took out 6 toothpick and engraved numbers on it with his nail

" What are doing ? " asked Jetchi

" Here pick in the pairs of two " he added

" One man on behalf of a pair at random would pick up the toothpick. So if Gorosuke picks up a toothpick and your name is on it , you would be going with them and last one would stay here " said Aruma

Hiro and Kazuki picked up the toothpick followed by everyone else.

" Grandpa pick one " said Ryo

Gorosuke was paired with Jetchi

" Let's goo " said Jetchi

" Now is my turn " said Ryo as he choose a toothpick

Ryo was paired with Aruma

" Darn it " said Ryo

" We can't change our partners , person who says what agrees " said Jetchi

" What ? " said Ryo

" Oh c'mon that's the oldest trick in the book and i fell for it " said Ryo

Hiro and Kazuki were in utter shock and were disappointed that they were tied together to stay and wait for Hiroshi.

" Weakling " said Kazuki

" Who you calling weakling ? " said Hiro

" SILENCE !!! " shouted Aruma as he stomped his leg on the ground

" Disperse " said Aruma as grunted

Gorosuke leaned and kept his hand on Aruma's shoulder

" Listen Aruma ... " said Gorosuke

Before he could complete his sentence however , Aruma shrugged his arm off his shoulder.

" Do not touch me , Gorosuke " said Aruma

" C'mon really? " said Gorosuke

" Aye... Encyclopedia come with me " said Aruma as he grabbed Ryo by his collar

" Bye bye Ryo " said Jetchi as he waved good bye

" Listen here everyone this ground is a big square which is divided equally into 4 segments. If the sides are equal then we can start from one corner and meet at diagonal. The centre would be were all the corners halves diagonal meet. We can start from North west while Hiro and Kazuki wait at the centre for Hiroshi and Mimiko " said Gorosuke

" I see " said Jetchi

" Well we better get going " he added

" Yes " said Gorosuke

" Best of luck you two " said Gorosuke as he left with Jetchi

" So is it going to be us huh Kazuki " said Hiro

" Kazuki ?? " said Hiro

" Umm , we have a little problem here " said Kazuki

" You are already here " said Hiro

" What else ? " asked Hiro

" Look infront of you stupid " said Kazuki

" Uh - oh " said Hiro as he gulped

Many Rin-shis were emerging from the ground. Like a sapling emerging from the soil similar to the resurrection of the dead. The crawled out and form 3 parallel lines. Unlike other Rin-shis , they were a tat bit different

" They don't look the same " said Kazuki

The Rin-shi wore Durags which covered their eyes as well. Their forehead had an emblem which was distinctive for each rin-shi. They wore a traditional Chinese warrior attire which was red and black in colour. They also carried different weapons varying from staff to nunchucks. Instead of walking like a normal vertical humanoid , they were instead hopping and formed two parallel line facing each other. A little girl whose face wasn't visible due to dust emerging from the hop of the Rin-shi , approaced Hiro and Kazuki. She was walking between the Rin-shi parallel lines.

" Who tf is that " said Hiro

" Why tf is that " said Kazuki

" What tf is that " said Kanako

" AAAAAHHHH FUCKKK " shouted Hiro as he jumped in Kazuki lap

Kazuki saw him with disgust as he dropped Hiro on the ground.

" Idiot it's me " said Kanako

" Where tf were you " asked Kazuki

" I was.... doing.... lady stuff " said Kanako

" What stuff ?? " asked Hiro

Kanako punched Hiro on his head.

" You don't ask a lady , what lady stuff is " said Kanako as she clenched her fist.

" She was peeing " said Kazuki as he rolled his eyes

" You bastard " said Kanako as she german suplexed Kazuki.

" Hi....r..oooo " the girl murmured

" Help....me " she added

" This voice is so similar " said Hiro

" What's that , you said something " asked Kanako

" Look that girl , she looks... familiar " said Hiro

" Hiro.... she's... " said Kanako

" That's Niko... " said Hiro as his heart sank

" Niko ??? Grandma Yuzi great grand daughter? " asked Kanako

" Yes " said Hiro as he dropped on his knees

" You mean to say , that the new general is that 13 year old kid ???? " said asked Kazuki

" It seems " said Kanako as she took a step back
