*****

Once again, after I teleported to the entrance of my mansion, Kubinashi looked at me and sighed.

"Another one, Riku-sama?" He said as he held his head in place.

"What do you mean by another one? She's a guest." I said to Kubinashi as I walked inside the mansion. "You can follow me, Cleria. Bring your son inside too, there is a lot of youkai that love to play, so he can play with them if he wanted to. Oi guys!"

"Ah, yes. Come on, Yae." Cleria looked at her son with a smile.

"Yes, Mother. May I play with someone like he said?" Asked Yaemasa.

"Of course, feel free to play with the others. But…" Cleria's words stopped midway, mainly because there was a lot of youkai appearing around the mansion.

"Riku-sama!"

"Welcome back, Riku-sama!"

"Yayayaya, do you bring any food with you, Riku-sama?!"

"Cut it out! Don't you see that there is a guest here?!" Kubinashi shouted at them, and they finally quieted down.

They welcomed me back, but Cleria was surprised when she saw them. I must admit that they indeed look scary, but they were a good guy.

Each youkai had no similar form. Small, big, animals, monsters, they had a lot of looks.

Yaemasa didn't look scared though, he looked at the youkai with eyes full of interest.

"Yo guys, can you play with that boy over there? He never had any friends, so teach him how to have fun."

"Leave it to us, Riku-sama!"

"Yeah! We will have fun with him!"

Cleria then looked dumbfounded, but Yaemasa had a big smile on his face. He looked at Cleria and said, "Mother, may I play with them, please?"

"Y-yes. Make sure to get along well, okay?

"Of course! Thank you, Mother!"

Seeing that the boy had agreed to play with them, a youkai that had a human body with a Natto head, often called Nattou Kozou, approached Yaemasa and pulled his hand.

"Let's go! I am Nattou Kozou, the leader of the small youkai. I will teach you how to have fun."

"Okay!" Exclaimed Yaemasa as he beamed into a smile.

Cleria looked at his son with a loving expression, and I used this chance to whisper something to Kubinashi.

"Hey, did Dulio already leave the mansion?"

Kubinashi put on a serious face and nodded his head, "Yes. He left after Kejoro gave him bento. But, why did you ask, Riku-sama? You even left him here."

"It's a bit complicated. Well, I managed to gain something because I left Dulio though." I said as I looked at Cleria who was looking at Yaemasa who run around the mansion with the other youkai.

Her expression changed a few times when she was looking at her son.

Kubinashi followed my gaze and looked at Cleria, "However, who is that? You brought a lot of women home recently, are you trying to be a scumbag, Riku-sama?"

"You didn't hold your mouth in front of me, eh?" I looked at Kubinashi as I smirked.

"I can't find another word, so I used that. But, if I may ask. Who is she, Riku-sama?"

"She's Cleria Belial, Masaomi's lover. And apparently, he fucking did it and had a son before he was turned into a mindless stray devil." I answered Kubinashi and he exclaimed.

"No way! But, well, if you want to find Masaomi, he's in the dojo as usual. He sure loves being there while meditating."

"I know, I plan to bring her to meet Yaegaki after this. Keep your eye on the boy, Kubinashi. Don't let him wander out of the mansion. He's.. a bit special."

Kubinashi nodded his head seriously, "Please leave it to me."

"I am counting on you." I then turned to Cleria and shouted, "Hey! Are you ready to meet your lover?"

"Kya!" Cleria looked at me and yelped in surprise. Her face turned red, but she nodded her head, "Yes."

"Hahaha, follow me then. Let's surprise him for good." I then walked towards the dojo. Cleria followed me from behind.

***

After we've arrived in front of the dojo, I asked Cleria to wait outside of the dojo first while I talked with Masaomi. It was to surprise him, so she happily agreed to my plan.

I slide the door open and saw Masaomi swinging Excalibur Rapidly in Hakama. He was sweating profusely.

He stopped his swing after she noticed me and turned his gaze to me.

"Riku-sama, what's bring you here today? Do you want to spar again?"

I leaned against the wall near the door and waved my hand, "Nah, no. I have to deal with something later, so I have no time to spar. More importantly, are you free right now? I wanted to ask something from you."

Masaomi made his way towards the corner of the dojo where towels were stacked. He took one of the towels and wiped her sweat with it as he said, "Of course. I have nothing to do except for training. I can use Excalibur Rapidly for a few hours straight without being burnt by the holy energy now."

"Oh, that's impressive."

That was really impressive. It's only a few days, and yet he made such progress. I also made a lot of progress in the last few weeks thanks to spars with a lot of people.

But Masaomi was a former human, now a devil. He was able to grow faster than most people in this world.

"Thank you for your praise, Riku-sama." Said Masaomi as he smiled, "By the way, you said that you wanted to ask something. What is it, Riku-sama?"

"Ah, right. You did know that your lover, Cleria Belial, is still alive, right? Do you want to meet her again?"

Masaomi's expression then turned gloom as he lowered his head, "Yes… Of course, I wanted to meet her again… But, it will be hard with the situation right now."

"However, you wanted to meet her right?" I asked him again.

Masaomi raised his head and nodded, "If I am given the chance to, then I really love to meet her again."

I grinned at his words and raised my chin, "Then I have good news for you."

Masaomi was confused, but his eyes were filled with hope after I told him that. He must've connected the dot between my question and the good news.

I then knocked on the door a few times and said, "You can enter now."

As I said that, Cleria then appeared from the door and cried as soon as she saw Masaomi.

"Masaomi…" Said Cleria as she sobbed. However, her lips were curved in a smile.

Masaomi's eyes were widened in surprise. Without waiting for anything, he run towards Cleria and hugged her.

"Cleria!"

"Yes, Masaomi!"

Both of them then hugged each other, ignoring my existence who was looking at them from the side. Masaomi also cried as he hugged Cleria.

'Well, my role is over here. I will leave them for a while before I spoke to their son.'

I then left the reunited lover quietly, as quiet as a leaf that fell on the pond without causing a ripple.
