*****

We teleported back to Kanto, and I was greeted by Tsura, who had arrived first.

"Welcome back, Riku-sama."

"Ou, I'm back." I greeted her back.

I gestured for the youkai to go inside first to rest, and they ran inside the mansion while chattering loudly.

Tsura approached me in the mids of the crowd, and then her eyes glued to Crom Cruach and Tsuchigumo on my shoulder.

"Should I administer medical attention immediately?" Asked Tsura worriedly.

"Yeah, please do so." I then threw both of them to the ground, "The four-armed one is Tsuchigumo. I believe he will be fine after you sprinkle some sake on his body."

"Certainly." Tsura then looked at Aotabo, who boasted about his achievement in the previous battle with the small youkai.

"Aotabo-san! Can you help me a little?" She called out to him.

Aotabo turned around and approached us, "Oh? Is there something that I could do for you, Tsura-san?"

"Yes, can you please carry these two to the medical ward? They need immediate attention."

"Ou! Leave it to me." Aotabo then picked Crom Cruach and Tsuchigumo. He carried them under his armpit as if he carried a bag of rice.

"Thank you, Aotabo-san." Tsura then looked at me, "Well, then, Riku-sama. I will leave now. The prisoner, Diodora Astaroth, is now near the pond with Kappa watching over him."

"Yeah, thanks for your hard work, Tsura." I patted her head, and she smiled happily.

"No, Riku-sama. I am happy to do this."

I pulled my hand away as Tsura bowed her head.

She then walked away, with Aotabo following from behind.

I looked at them and walked away with my arms crossed inside my Kimono. However, I stopped when I felt my Kimono being pulled from behind.

"Hey…"

I looked back and saw Ophis tugging my Kimono.

"Oh… what's wrong? I thought you were going with the crowd?"

Ophis shook her head at my words.

"Silence. I want to sleep."

Ah, I see. The youkai were rowdy bunches, so it was noisy here.

Should I take him to that place? Well, there was nothing there, so I guess it would be okay.

"I can't take you to the dimensional gap now, but… let me show you a place where you can get your silence."

Ophis nodded her head, "I don't mind."

After getting confirmation from Ophis, I took her to the house that was located behind my mansion. It was the one that was surrounded by my old man's Fear.

The house was far from the mansion, and with my old man's Fear, it became the quietest place in this city.

It was still in the same state as when I visited it last time. However, the flowers had already fallen as it was now almost autumn.

Ophis looked around curiously. She had noticed the barrier that surrounded this place.

The rowdy shout of the youkai was still loud even from this place. However, as soon as we passed the barrier, the sound was gone.

"It's… quiet," Ophis muttered as she pressed her hand against the barrier. "This is? The same power that you use but… different?"

She noticed the difference between my old man and my Fear.

"Yeah, it's my old man's. This area is quiet and got the silence that you wanted. Is it good enough for now?"

"Un." Ophis nodded her head, "I like this place."

"Good. I will show you where you can sleep. I will ask Kejoro to bring a futon later."

Ophis nodded her head again, and then I took her inside the house.

I took her to the room with the temple and added a layer of my barrier with Fear to make her comfortable enough.

She noticed it again, as expected of a Dragon God.

"I like it here."

"That's good. I still have something to do, so I will leave first."

"Un. I will sleep." She then made her way toward the small temple in the middle and leaned her back against it.

She closed her eyes and fell asleep in just a few seconds. Looking at her like this, I couldn't see her as a Dragon God. She looked just like a little girl who wanted her home back.

However, I shouldn't forget that Ophis was dangerous. She could destroy this world if she wanted to. Even Gods couldn't even kill her. Maybe we could only seal her if we worked together.

I could hear a soft snore coming from Ophis. She really did fall asleep.

I quietly walked out of the room and went to the pond that was located near the sakura tree in my mansion.

For now, Ophis was still okay. I could make her a quiet barrier in the dimensional gap later. Maybe I could even make her stay for a few months.

Her sense of time was jumbled because of how long she had lived. Waiting for a few months wouldn't be a problem. I could also ask for her cooperation in the clean-up operation.

When I arrived at the pond, I saw Kappa sitting on top of the ice that covered Diodora Astaroth. He was sitting with his leg dangling around, and he looked bored.

Diodora Astaroth looked mad and struggled around with his head. It was no use, though, as he couldn't even move inside Tsura's ice.

"Hey, Kappa! Good job." I greeted Kappa, and he turned at me as his face brightened.

"Riku-sama."

"I heard from Tsura that you are looking at him. Good job."

"No, it's not a problem. Tsura said that she would give me Ohagi for this."

"Oh, then it's good. You can leave now. I will take care of him."

"Yes." Kappa then ran toward the mansion; he was headed to the kitchen.

I then stood in front of Diodora Astaroth as he glared at me.

"Yo, how are you?"

"Youkai!!" He growled. "I will kill you! My brother will kill you!"

"Haa?!" I glared back at him while putting on an act as if I didn't hear him, "What did you say? Did I just hear you trying to intimidate me, the leader of the East Youkai Faction? What will happen if Satan hears this?"

Diodora scoffed, "Of course, they will kill you! I am Ajuka Beelzebub little brother after all!"

His face was irritating. It looked punchable, so I punched him once.

Smash!

His head was smashed against the ice as I punched him. Blood ticked out from the wound on his head.

He looked miserable, but I didn't care.

"Oh~ I am afraid! I just punched Ajuka's little brother! Save me, Ophis~" I acted scared as my body squirmed around.

I glanced at Diodora Astaroth, but I found out that he had fainted in just one hit.

"Tsk! He could only mention his brother when he's cornered."

But well, I could use this as a chance to make Sirzech and Ajuka owe me.

"Well, let's go to the Underworld then."
