Shadow Servant

We arrive at Kyoto at 11 AM and are able to find the Mansion that Azazel lent us to stay for the rest of our Vacation. Azazel even said that we could do anything to this Mansion because it was only a small mansion compared to the main one he has.

Just how much money that bastard has? The Mansion in front of me is almost the same size as the one we had in Kuoh, which has a price of nearly One billion Yen. Now I'm depressed thinking about it.

"Fujimaru, why do you look depressed?"

I look at Lily, who has a worried face while touching my cheek with her gentle hands.

"It's nothing."

"Really?"

"Yup"

"Okay, then."

After going inside the Mansion we learned that this Mansion is near the beach, which is perfect for our Vacation. After we place our luggage inside the Mansion and then change our clothes to swimsuits for Lily, Valerie, Asia, and Me while the man is also changing to their swimwear.

We played on the beach until 4 PM, and after we finished playing on the beach, we went back to the Mansion to rest before we decided to go to the restaurant near our Mansion to have dinner.

As we walked down Kyoto street, I heard a voice coming from the forest on our right.

"Do you guys hear that?"

"Yes"

"Let us investigate it."

We then walked through the forest, and a few seconds later, we found a woman with a feature of a fox, except she has Nine fluffy tail on her back. She is currently fighting a shadowy figure that is coming to her while she is protecting a child on her hand. I also see many corpses on the ground that also have an animal feature on their body.

"She is the leader of Youkai faction Yasaka, and on her hand is her daughter Kunou."

"Should we help her."

"Of course and also the one that she is fighting is shadow servant. Shadow servant has the same power attack as a normal servant but has less durability than a normal servant."

"I see. Let us hurry."

Before we were able to move another figure coming toward Yasaka, the figure is dressed in a royal fashion, appearing as black as a shadow in the night, contrasted with his pale face and long, silk-like white hair.

I know this servant, The man in front of me is Vlad III, but he has a different appearance than the Lancer of Black. This Vlad has red eyes and has a fang inside his mouth.

"That is Berserker, and His real name is Vlad III, the impaler. He was supposed to be a Lancer, but the current him is his counterpart, where he is a Vampire, also known as Dracula."

"That is bad."

"Yes, With a shadow servant as his subordinated, we can't make a single mistake when facing him."

"So, What do we master?"

I look at the Archer then go back to look at Vlad that slowly walked toward Yasaka before saying.

"Berserker, you will be our Tank in the front. Archer kills as many Shadow Servants as you can. Lancer helps Archer killing the shadow servant, and please be careful while the shadow servant didn't have Noble Phantasm and the durability like you guys. They still had the same stats as the original."

"Yes"

"Sounds fun."

I look at Cuchulain Caster and Asia and says

"Asia, When we arrive there, you need to heal them both immediately. Caster, I know you want to fight, but I need you to protect Asia and me from the shadow servant while Asia heals Yasaka and Kunou."

"Yes, Master"

"No problem."

I nodded at Asia and Caster before I looked toward the rest of my servant and a few others.

"Assassin, I want you to scout if there are any shadow servants in the area and if not help Archer and Lancer kill them. George, Lily, and Kokabiel, I need you to do as much damage as you can to Vlad because of his status as Vampire he is weak against Holy attribute attack and lastly Valerie will stay with Asia and me in the back."

"Acknowledge Lord Mage"

"Yes!"

"Very Well"

"En"

After hearing my command, my servant plus Kokabiel began to help Yasaka and Kunou.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Yasaka~

My name is Yasaka, the leader of the Youkai faction in Japan. This day is the day where I can enjoy a vacation with my only Daughter, Kunou. Kunou is the Daughter between my former mate who died when a civil war happened in Japan and me. The cause of the civil war is because many clan leaders didn't want a female to lead the youkai faction. So they raised an army to dethrone me even though the one that gave me the throne of Youkai faction is Amaterasu-Sama herself.

After the war was over, I created a system where the clan leader agrees to make a leader of all youkai, which is by making another branch of Youkai faction led by Nurarihyon. Nurarihyon is the most trusted and powerful Yokai beside her, trusted by Amaterasu-Sama to not revolt against my rule.

From then on, the Youkai faction is under one banner of my leadership. After the death of my mate, I learned that I'm pregnant with the child of my mate and expected to have a daughter in a few months. After waiting for seven more months, a baby girl was born into this world that I named Kunou. After giving birth to Kunou, many men came to my palace to challenge me to duel and make me their mate.

After beating all the challengers, I am able to prove that I'm the strongest Youkai in Japan, making the rest of them take back their challenge request to take me as my mate.

For years I ruled over yokai in Japan, and for a year, I raised my daughter alone, and after a year of hard work that I have one day off from ruling the Youkai Faction. My Daughter and I then go to the beach that is hidden from the normal human and also the private property of the Royal Family. We had a lovely day playing in the beach building sand castle and playing in the water, but as we walked home, we got attacked by a shadowy figure.

I tried to defend myself, and my Bodyguard began to appear near me to protect me, but My Bodyguard and I are no match to the shadowy figure. I then order my Bodyguard to retreat, so we run to the palace while I carry Kunou in my arm as she is in shock, seeing the dead body.

While on the run, I try to transform myself to my Nine-Tailed Fox, but my connection to the Ley line is cut off by the unknown mean. I tried to outrun them, but they are faster than me. I see that my Bodyguard tries to give me some time, but they get cut down one-by-one. Suddenly I feel a sudden pain on my back and see that the shadow spear has pierced my back.

I hug my Daughter tightly and ready to give my life if it was for my Daughter. Suddenly another figure appears from the forest. The man is dressed like a royal family, but the most stand out is his red eyes and a fang inside his mouth.

"What Vampire is doing in Japan? We have a treaty agreement."

"Oh no, My Lady, I was here to bring you to my master."

"Who is your master?"

"Ahhh, I can't say who is my master to you, My Lady. Prepare yourself"

The man then summoned his spear and ready to thrust his spear toward me, but before he was able to do that, he got thrown off by a giant stone sword that hit his head.

"Phew, Look, look like we arrived just in time."
