"Let go of her!" He ordered the man.
"But Gushiken sama, this malicious person just barged in here and caused this havoc! She even hurt my precious daughter! I will need to teach this dog a lesson if no one can do it!" He said and was about to pull me again!
"I said to let her go," Gou said somewhat calmly.
But when you look at his face, it says otherwise. He is looking at our arms like he was contemplating something and I can see that he is flexing his right hand. I saw him did that before when we were doing the hellish training, I noticed he always does that when he wants to materialize his scythe and then cut the object. I just hope it's not my arm that he will want to cut!
"But-!" He was about to rebut again when Gou released his aura!
I can feel the pressure of his aura and I can feel my knees starts to buckle, but I subconsciously tried to hold on. My body somewhat got so used to trying to resist the pressure of his aura that my body automatically responds. He trained me to resist this type of pressure, saying that if I ever encounter someone with a strong aura to pressure me to submission I can take them head-on since I already had gotten used to his pressure!
"Ugh!" I heard the man in front of me grunted.
He fell on his knees the same as his daughter and her maid. He then let go of my arm as he is trying to not fall flat on his face. When he let go of my arm, the aura that Gou is using lessen a little bit, I can still feel my knees wanting to give in but with this kind of pressure I can somewhat stand up properly but still not light enough to make them stand up.
"Gushiken sama, why are you helping this trash! She is the one at fault! She needs to be punished then send her to be sentenced to death by the High Court for hurting a noble's daughter!" The man still had enough energy to spout all his intention towards me.
"Who are you to punish her? She is mine!... My servant! Am I incompetent as to let you punish her?! If I see that she is guilty then I will personally do the punishment on her but if not I will punish the real culprit in this stupid drama!" Gou was looking at the lady bitch kneeling beside her father.
I looked at her and she is visibly shaking, I don't know if it's from the pressure of Gou's aura or she is scared to be found out that she is not that innocent and pure lady that she always portray to her beloved Gou? I looked at her maid and she is also the same as her bitchy master, they are both shaking. Guess Gou really is that scary.
"Come here." Gou held out his hand to me.
I looked at his outreached hand and looked at his face. He has this glint in his eyes, this is the first time I saw him like this. He looked like he is ready to do a mass murder or something. I saw a lot of his expressions when he was training me and this one is new to me, I don't want to be at the receiving end when he has this look!
"Why aren't you coming over here? Are you hurting anywhere? Have your wounds opened up again? What is this on your chin?!" He talked nonstop and he even came near to look at my chin.
With his face this up close, I'm being attacked by his handsome face that I can't help but blush. He looked at my flushing face and then held my cheeks with both his hands. It caught me by surprise that I just stood there staring stupidly at his handsome face.
"Your face is red. Are you running a fever?" And after saying that he came closer and I can imagine what he will do!
"I- I'm good. Thank you!" I hurriedly said and pushed his face away!
Didn't he know that his face is a lethal weapon and he even tried to get it close to me!? Even though I don't have a heart, I can feel like my heart is beating so hard that I can imagine myself hearing the thumping sound of it!
"I'm not convinced, let's get a healer to check up on you!" He still insisted and held my hand wanting to leave.
"I said I'm okay! And besides, there is some other important matter you need to finish first!" I said in a low voice.
He looked at me with that puzzled face of his and I signaled him with my eyes looking at the trio still kneeling on the ground. He looked at them and he has this now-I-remember look and faced them again.
"Ahem! Though I need to address the important matter of you having a check-up, I need to deal with trash first lest they will rot and spread diseases everywhere. I, Gushiken Gou, 1st seat of the Shinigami Araiansu governing all 8 Great Hells, found evidence and sentence you, Nakamura Kayo and your maid Kairi, to be thrown to Dai-kyoukan Jigoku, for causing harm and slandering this innocent soul! You will have a chance to redeem your self in front of King Houkai in 100 years!" He said in an authoritative voice and then his scythe appeared with a flick of his hand.
He said what and what now? I don't understand anything that he said? Then after he finished what he said the 2 bitches started wailing and pleading for mercy. With Gou's stoic face he didn't even glance at them and he just looks to his left.
"Captain Abiko Chikafusa! I believe you can already handle this little thing?" He called.
"Yes My Lord! I will do as you say!" He bowed then out of nowhere his blackish Shinigami cloak appeared and he is already wearing it.
"Nooo! PLEASE HAVE MERCY! It was all Lady Kayo's fault! She said that she will teach her a lesson for sticking to you and trying to seduce you, when she, the no. 3 beauty of Herufaia City can't even do it! I can't do anything about it since she is my Master! Please spare me!" The maid pleaded.
"Chikafusa." Gou just mentioned Chisa's name.
As if on cue, Chisa materializes his whip and lashed it at them. They were wrapped around and like what happened with Mayu back in Japan they were being squeezed tight by it. But this time there is this sickening wet creaking sound as if their bones are being snapped. And with that loud 'poof' they were both gone and only his whip remained.
"Daughter! My Lord, this is bullying! Why is it my daughter is sentenced at the depths of hell when she just tried to teach this whore a lesson! My dau-ack!" He was suddenly being strangled by Gou.
"I said it before and I will say it again. She is mine and no one is allowed to touch or hurt her. Even if you are one of the Gods, I will do what I can to protect and get revenge for her. If you miss your daughter so much I can make it so that you both will be reunited." He said with his scary aura of his.
But what made my heart beat faster is not the fear of how cold and ruthless he is, it's what he said that made me fluster! I can't help but fall for him on how he is protective and caring towards me! I think I'm falling and I don't know how high I will fall from.
Araiansu - Japanese word for alliance
