"Hahahaha, he was able to land a hit on me while I was a bit serious! Not only that, he was able to erase my storm, he's amazing."

Susanoo praised me with a happy tone in front of Yasaka and Amaterasu.

We were now inside Amaterasu's abode, sitting around a round table in seiza. He talked with a soft voice, not too loud not too quiet.

Yasaka seemed to be amazed by the story, she stole a glance towards me a few times as we ate the dish that was prepared by Amaterasu's Miko.

"Brother, if you grade his strength amongst the Supernatural world, then what's his position in your opinion?" Asked Amaterasu.

"Hmm…" Susanoo touched his chin as he looked at me.

"I guess if it's about running away, he will be number one. Even I couldn't detect him when he used his Fear."

I crossed my arms and nodded with a smug smile. Of course, that would be the case, no one would be able to catch me if I seriously hid myself.

Unless they had a goddamn cheat that was called Telos Karma themselves.

To get recognition from a God that was said to be able to match Sirzechs was good. If he couldn't catch me, then Sirzechs would certainly be unable to catch me too.

"That's his running and hiding skill. But his power is too low, maybe he's in the top 100? Or top 300 in terms of strength. If he could fix that weakness, then getting into the top 50 or top 30 of strength is not strange at all."

Amaterasu and Yasaka were surprised, their mouth gaped. Susanoo looked at me with a grin on his face. He seemed to read my thought and maybe he was thinking something.

That problem would be fixed in a while. I grinned at Susanoo and said.

"I plan to fix that in two days. This is a good chance, do you want to tag along, Susanoo? I can call you that, right?"

"Hmm, I don't mind. However, please do call me with my title in front of other Gods other than my sister and brother."

"Of course." I nodded my head.

He nodded back to me and leaned his head a little, interested in what I said earlier. His hand was blocking his mouth, and he whispered to me.

"So, where do you want to go?"

I whispered back to him, covering my mouth so Amaterasu and Yasaka wouldn't know. If they knew, they would certainly try to stop me, I couldn't risk that.

"Dimensional gap. You heard that Magicians attacked Kyoto 2 days ago, right? I will go to their base and wreak havoc in there. My main objectives are two. Destroying their group, and getting a special Sacred Gear called Incinerate Anthem."

"Oho, that's certainly a good Sacred Gear to fix your weakness. But how…" Susanoo asked me with a tone of curiosity.

But then, maybe he noticed a grin on my face, he pulled away and smiled.

"Nevermind, I know what you think. But, sorry Riku. I can't go with you to that place."

"Is that so?" I was a bit disappointed.

If Susanoo accompanied me to that place, the thing would be much easier. But well, Dimensional Gap was not a place that could be visited by someone like Susanoo easily without much thought.

"But well, I was thinking of going there with Kuroka and Tsura though. They will be enough to help me."

I sat straight and ate the dish in front of me. It was a typical Japanese dish that consisted of Rice, Mackarel, and Miso soup.

The taste, however, was different from the dishes from Earth. It was more delicious.

"So, Riku-han. You are already met Susanoo-sama. Isn't there something that you wanted to talk about with him?" Asked Yasaka.

Ah, right. My main objective of visit Takamagahara.

Susanoo looked at me, waiting for me to ask him after he heard Yasaka. I looked at him and asked.

"Were you in Osaka yesterday?"

I almost forgot about it, but I couldn't feel the Dragon's energy from Susanoo. The energy that I felt yesterday was clearly Susanoo's, but there was a Dragon's energy mixed in it.

"No? I was creating rain someplace in Japan yesterday because of a prayer from the farmer. However, I didn't think that I visit Osaka."

"Wait a minute, are you sure?"

If that was true, then whose energy was that? It was clearly Susanoo's, but…

Wait, Susanoo's energy? He was a god of Storm, and he was famous because he slew Yamata no Orochi. If there was a dragon's energy mixed in that energy, then…

'Yamata no Orochi had been revived? No, maybe it's just the sword, Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi.'

"Yes, I am sure. Why do you ask that question?"

Yasaka looked at me with a worried gaze, but I looked at Susanoo seriously.

"I felt your energy yesterday, in Osaka. After meeting you like this, I am sure that the one that I felt was similar to yours."

"Are you sure?" Susanoo raised his voice a little.

Amaterasu also got surprised by what I said.

"Brother, does that mean, the sword?" Asked Amaterasu to Susanoo with a worried tone.

"Yeah, that's the only possibility." Answered Susanoo.

"As I thought, the Kusanagi sword is not in the hand of Shinto, right? Did you lose it?" I asked Susanoo with a serious tone.

That sword was a Holy Sword of Shinto God that was found inside Yamata no Orochi's corpse. I thought that the Shinto God was able to keep it in this world because there was my old man, but it seemed like that was not the case.

"I am ashamed to say this, but it was stolen a few years ago." Said Amaterasu as she lowered her face.

"But how?"

The sword was stolen. There was one possibility, but Amaterasu and Susanoo wouldn't be able to believe that. No, they didn't want to believe it.

"I always had this uneasy feeling, but tell me, are you sure it's my energy?"

"Yeah, it then split into different directions. Mayb- wait. It was headed in 8 different directions. Could it be?"

8 different directions, 8 heads. Yamata no Orochi's soul was inside the sword.

"Then it's Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi. I will make my move, thank you for informing me about this, Riku." As Susanoo said that, he stood up.

Amaterasu also stood up and looked at me with a smile, "Thank you for the information. I'm sorry, but I think it's better if you leave right now before the thing goes south."

Ah, I understood. Susanoo wanted to weed the traitor. I stood up calmly, Yasaka followed suit.

"Alright. Thanks for having me." I said to Amaterasu and walked away, followed by Yasaka after she said something to Amaterasu.

When I was about to exit the house, Susanoo called out to me.

"I will visit you someday, let's have a spar again."

I waved my right hand at him and answered.

"Sure!"

And so, I and Yasaka left Takamagahara by teleporting through the Torii that we used to come here.
