When I reached Tsura and Shirone, Tsura looked at Kuroka that was jumping around in the distance before turning at me.

"I hope I can join too." Tsura said quietly with her face changing into a red shade.

"H-hahaha, tomorrow?" I said evasively but fortunately, I got a nod of approval from Tsura. If both of them attacked me at the same time, even I will get exhausted.

With this, my activities for two nights are settled. I looked at Koneko with a smile but before I said something, I was answered with something that I didn't expect.

"I won't join." She said as she looked at me with judging eyes.

So she did understand what Tsura mean?

"Ah, no. I wanted to say why did you just start your Senjutsu training today?" I said as I scratched my cheek with my left hand as I looked at Shirone.

"The underworlds held lots of malice… I can't train my Senjutsu there and when I come to earth, I was not able to train it because there is no one to teach me." Said Shirone while looking down on the ground as she said it.

I narrowed my eyes and asked. "Did you not ask Rias to hire a tutor for you? When you come to earth, you could always visit Youkai base to ask for training, you know? If you tell them that you are Kuroka's sister, then they will be happy to take you to us."

At my words, Shirone raised her head and shook it. "No, at that time I was a bit scared to meet with onee-chan."

I see, she did think that she was at fault for believing that Kuroka went crazy when she left her so I understand if she's scared to meet Kuroka. Even Kuroka was like that, she blame herself for the incident and left Shirone alone in the underworld. Both of them blamed themselves and were scared to meet each other.

I must praise myself to take Kuroka to meet Shirone yesterday. Good job me.

"I see, then I will watch your training with Kuroka. As she's a better teacher, I will leave you in her care."

"Yes." She nodded her head and walked over to Kuroka that was recovering from my words earlier.

I looked around the area to find a good spot to sit. I saw a big tree trunk that was laying on the ground not far from Kuroka and Shirone and smiled.

"Tsura, let's watch them in that place." I pointed at the trunk as I looked at Tsura.

"I will go there later, Riku-sama. I planned to go back to the apartment for a while to get a meal for them. I bet Shirone-chan will be hungry when the training is over. You can also introduce me to her at that time, seeing that earlier you didn't introduce me yet."

"My bad. Be careful, Tsura."

"I will." Answered Tsura as she walked away from the clearing.

I went to the tree trunk and sat on top of it as I watched Shirone ask Kuroka all things about Senjutsu.

"First, you must know what Senjutsu is." Kuroka started teaching Shirone while raising her index finger.

Shirone listened to Kuroka with full attention as she sat on the ground without minding the dirt that stuck on her skirt.

"Senjutsu is basically life energy, or often called as Ki inside our body." Kuroka explained to Shirone as she summoned a purplish-black aura that formed a shape of fire from her hand.

"We can use this Aura to strengthen ourselves or attack the opponent by sending this aura to their direction." Kuroka threw the purplish-black aura in her hand towards a tree on her right.

Kuroka and Shirone's gaze was following the aura until it hit the tree and left a mark on it. After the aura was gone, they looked at each other again and Kuroka continued her explanation.

"That was the example of a weak aura. If you condensed it, it can reach a level that could kill supernatural beings in one hit."

This time Kuroka summoned a ball with a purple aura around it and sent it flying towards the same tree. The speed of the flying ball was different from the previous one, it was faster and deadlier.

When the ball hit the tree, it burst the place where it hit and destroyed the tree. The tree was falling not too long after its trunk was destroyed and crashed into the other trees.

Both of the girls didn't even look at the tree. Kuroka looked at Shirone with a serious face and said.

"Do you want to learn it nya?"

Koneko nodded her head and stood up, facing Kuroka with a serious face. "I will. Please teach me, onee-chan."

I smirked while watching them. Unknown to Kuroka or Shirone, I gathered Ki in my right hand and shot it towards Shirone.

The Ki aura that I gathered secretly hit Shirone and made her yelp in surprise. "Hya!"

As she yelped in surprise, because of contact with my Ki, her ears and tails have appeared in an instant. Shirone glared at me with a look that could kill someone as she asked in a lower tone.

"Why did you do that?"

Hearing her question, I shut my right eyes and smiled as I said. "You must not hide your youkai nature when you learn Senjutsu. It will get harder to learn it, trust me."

My real reason was to see Shirone's cat ears though. Well, my word itself wasn't wrong as her ears will appear when she was using Senjutsu, I just make the process faster and tease her a little with that.

Shirone looked at Kuroka for confirmation. Kuroka looked at me for a second and understood my intention, she nodded her head and said.

"That's true nya."

"I see. Then I trust you." Said Shirone while looking at me.

Although she said that I was okay, it seems that I still need to gain her trust, huh. Trust will come with time, so I need to be patient.

"What's the first step of the training, onee-chan?" Asked Shirone.

"The first step is…" Kuroka began to explain the first step of the training to Shirone.

Each time Kuroka explained things, Shirone's face become paler and paler. She looked at me in disbelief but I just averted my gaze after I heard Kuroka's explanation.

Kuroka's training method was similar to Magari's which make me shudder when she mentioned it, I hope Shirone could handle it. After the explanation ended, they finally proceed to the real training with me praying for her survival.

'You must survive, Shirone!'
