*****

Kunou was tired after we were walking around all night. She fell asleep on a bench that was located in the shrine, so I carried her on my back and brought her back to Yasaka's shrine when the sun had risen.

When we came back, Yasaka was standing in front of the shrine's entrance. Her arms were crossed, and she had an angry expression on her face.

Hagoromo Gitsune stood beside her with a smug smile on her face.

At that display of Yasaka, I knew that I had screwed up. She was angry, like, really angry.

However, I just smiled at Yasaka and raised my right hand.

"Yo, we are back."

Yasaka frowned deeper and with an angry tone.

"And?"

"We are having fun."

"Haa-"

Yasaka let out a sigh and held her head with her right hand.

"I should've never asked Kunou to guide you. I know that this will happen."

"You know, Kunou was tired after having a lot of fun. Can we speak about this after I put her in the bed?"

"Fine, let me carry her, you must be tired too. You have yet to rest after having a lot of fight."

Yasaka walked to me and took Kunou from my back. She carried Kunou in her arms and I smiled at her.

"Thanks, I think I will go back to Kanto after I see the condition of the boy that I brought yesterday. I will trouble you to house him and Tsura for a few days, Yasaka."

"It's not a problem. I am happy with Tsura-chan's company too."

I nodded my head and turned to Hagoromo Gitsune.

"How about you? Will you stay here or come back to Kanto with me?"

Hagoromo Gitsune touched her chin and said.

"I will stay. Kyoto is interesting, and I am now learning about the Leyline from Yasaka. Go back without me."

Oh, so she was learning about Leyline?

That was good if she could use the power of Leyline, she will get stronger. If she got stronger, then the youkai will get more chances to drive our enemy ourselves.

"Fine, then I will take my leave now."

As I said that, I created Magic Circle under me and teleported back to Kanto. My mansion was like usual, in the morning it was bustling with my Hyakki Yakkou running around.

I teleported right in front of the entrance and saw Kubinashi sweeping the ground with a broom. When he saw me, he stopped sweeping, and with widened eyes, he shouted.

"Riku-sama! You are back!"

His shout was heard by the other youkai and they ran towards the entrance at once.

"Riku-sama!! Thank god you are not injured!"

Aotabo was the first one who saw me and he shouted with tears in his eyes.

"Hahaha, do you think I will be injured by those guys? I am fine."

"That's right, Aotabo. You should welcome him with a smile, don't cry."

Kurotabo appeared from behind Aotabo and he looked at me with a smile.

"Welcome back, Riku-sama. You must be tired, I had asked Kejoro to prepare a bath and a meal for you."

Having capable subordinates were nice. They had prepared everything that I needed even before I asked.

"I will take a bath, the one that Kejoro prepared was the outdoor one, right?"

"That's right, Riku-sama." Answered Kubinashi.

"She also prepared breakfast in the hall, we were thinking about having a meal with you if you don't mind."

"Sure, let's have breakfast after this. Come to think of it, where is Kuroka?"

I didn't feel Kuroka's energy anywhere in this area. It was strange, but then I remembered that Kuroka wanted to stay at Kuoh for a while.

"Kuroka-sama had stayed in Kuoh for three days. She was attending the school with her sister."

"Right, I forgot about that for a second. Well then, I will take a bath now, Kubinashi."

"Alright, I will tell Kejoro about that."

***

We had 2 baths in our mansion.

One of them was an indoor bath, that bath was often used by my old man's subordinate.

While the other was an outdoor bath. It was a typical bath like those in a hot spring inn, but the water of our bath was drawn manually.

The bath had rock on the edge to lean our back.

Right now, I was sitting in the bath while leaning my back against the rock and looking at the sky.

"Ah, this is bliss."

Compared to the bath in Gremory's mansion, I preferred this bath. The water in this bath made me relax.

Sirzechs needed a few days to contact Azazel and Gabriel. I was thinking of having a rest and looking around with Tsura or Kuroka.

Having a rest day was important, especially at this moment.

Vali had yet to contact me again, I wanted to talk with him about something. He had a magician in his team, if I was not wrong, she was Le Fay Pendragon.

That girl was an amazing magician in my opinion. Her personality was not rotten too, unlike the other magicians.

"Oh, right. Only Kuroka can use magic amongst us, the other could only use Fear or Youjutsu. Hmm, well, it's not like I need a magician in my Hyakki Yakkou."

I muttered alone and then drowsiness seemed to get a hold of me. My fatigue finally caught up to me after I relaxed and put my guard down.

In the Gremory's mansion, I was not able to put my guard down in fear of an attack from the Devil. Now that I was in my own mansion, I felt tired and the only thing in my mind was to sleep.

'Let's get out before I fell asleep in the bath.'

I stood up and then walked out of the bath. I put my clothes back and made my way to my room.

I met Kubinashi on my way to my room and told him that I can't join the breakfast because I was too tired.

He was worried about me, but I told him that I was fine. He then made his way to the hall to inform the others while I fell asleep in my bed.
