///==========xx==========///

A certain place, the main shrine of the Himejima Clan, family members meet at an outer shrine, each person who meets puts on a firm expression, yep, these people know very well the truth behind the events that have occurred recently.

Even though the Remnants of the fugitives had already fled but one of the masterminds—Himejima Hanezu had been found dead. In a moment of complete silence, someone finally spoke.

'It would be best if our relationship with the Grigori was terminated'

In the words spoken by that person, the place immediately became noisy from expressing their opinion.

"Suzerain, may I? We have seen one case—the negotiations regarding Akeno have reached a conclusion but"

The old man—he sighed.

"That matter, was resolved through a secret agreement with the duke's treaty of 72 pillars—but the problem now is the black-winged gang that has set foot in Japan, we don't need to just watch, we are the ones who have protected this country since ancient times. Ancient one, one of the five Clans, namely our very own Himejima"

The old man said with an unshakable will that permeated the minds and bodies of everyone present.

The Clan members successively expressed their opinions regarding the information… some of their opinions there mentioned Ryuuki.

"I heard a strange rumor"

One of the members spoke up and attention was immediately drawn to the person.

"About the Isiden 'Utsusemi Agency' previously there were mentions of the descendants of the Oda Clan interfering"

"!?"

Noise hit the room again, even the old man who was the leader thought.

'Oda?, didn't the Oda Clan disappear long ago?'

'No, the Oda Clan did not disappear but was forgotten in this age'

"Investigate the rumors, I'm also curious about the current Oda Clan Descendant" (Suou)

"HEY!"

After that they continued to discuss the future of their Clan which ended with Oz.'s problem

"Grigori, Oz, and those who rebelled against the Five Major Clans keep popping up one after another…"

The Himejima Clan members couldn't hide their anxiety because they couldn't ignore it anymore. Moreover, the traitor under the guise of 'Utsusemu Body' was completely unexpected for them especially as it turned out that 'Oz' was involved in the incident. They didn't expect such a place to actually be. Yes, they still doubt it.

Himejima Sou, the Himejima Clan Chief made a clear decision.

"No matter what, if a demon Rasetsu is like that, setting foot on Honomoto brings disaster, it is our role that is assigned to eradicate that creature if it really comes to this country" (Suou)

Everyone in the room silently nodded their heads with an accent on this, Sighing, Himejima Suou continued.

The "Really 'Dog' produced by my elder sister's side who was exiled from the Clan… The matter of 'Lighting' is enough, what other strange things have pervaded this Clan?" (Suou)

Suou Himejima had no idea about his sister-Ageha being exiled from the Clan. Since then, as far as Contact with each one has long since died. Suou only heard Ageha from some information from his men.

"Haah, it can't be helped… that kind of thing resulted from Himejima's bloodline—Suzaku!"(Suou)

At Suou's call, a female voice sounded from behind the door and bowed to Suou.

"Yes"

The young girl had long beautiful long black hair, Her black hair glistened like wetness, Suzaku Himejima had a cold but orderly mood without a doubt.

Regarding the age of Suzaku, this year is 17 years old. Her appearance is similar to Shuri Himejima, Akeno's mother.

{AN:I'm a bit confused about the timeline of Slash Dog}

As of this year, she is the only talented woman out of all of their relatives to inherit the sacred beast 'Suzaku' ruled by Himejima. No, in recent years, the person who had inherited the sacred beast from each of the Five Major Clans was still very young. Based on this, the family's efforts to bring forth good blood, seem to have paid off.

However, apart from that, there was something else that Suou who was a suzerain was hiding this princess. That is, she was very similar to the one she first raised——Shuri, who had since abandoned them. Suzaku's mother, she is Shuri's older sister. That Shuri had also been ensnared by that black-winged gang, and as a result had lost her life.

Suzerain——Suou inadvertently thought back to it. After closing his eyes, he spoke to her——Suzaku.

"I ask of you, the herald who will be Himejima's next head. ——As the representative of a family member whose name starts with 'Red', can you perform a fire dance for us?"

Suzaku, bowed deeply.

I would be honored, Ooji-sama {grandfather}."

Hearing that one sentence from Suzaku, Suou calmly nodded. ——But, Suou, narrowing his eyes, lowered his gaze to the floor.

"However. ... Towards the 'lightning' princess who is on par with demons. Towards the 'dog' of darkness that is on par with the black angels..."

He, speaking in a whisper.

"For now, we should designate him as the 'Fall Dog God'."
