Aftermath

~11 June 2008~

Nurarihyon looks at the clan head of Five Principal Clans or the youkai faction called the five blessed clans by the sacred beast. They are the most powerful clans in Japan in terms of political power and firepower. They are also the ones that oversee the magicians or Onmyōji around Japan. Himejima clan is the one that supervises Tokyo, Nakiri clan manage Osaka, Kushihashi clan manage Sendai, Doumon clan manage Kumamoto, and lastly, Shinra clan oversee Sapporo. While they manage the land, all the clan members will report to Yasaka and obey her order.

He still remembers one of the clans banished one of their clan members because one of the members didn't have the blessing of one of the sacred beasts. He almost misses the 'purge' that Suou Himejima ordered to all his clan members to banish their clan members that don't receive the blessing of the sacred beast. After giving a suitable punishment for Suou Himejima, Nurarihyon takes Hanezu Himejima and his agency members under his wing, making them his agent around Japan. He also takes Ageha Ikuse née Himejima, the older sister of Suou Himejima, under his wing, the reason Ageha Ikuse gets banished that she practices Buddhist magic. Ageha Ikuse also brings her grandson with her, and to his surprise, Tobio Ikuse has a Longinus Canis Lykaon following the boy around in the form of a puppy. After the death of Ageha Ikuse, Tobio comes to him and asks for training, saying that he wants to become strong enough just like his idol, Hanezu Himejima. He takes the boy to become his apprentice and after he reaches the age of 15 and lets him join Grigori as his agent inside the said organization.

He also tries to search for Akeno Himejima after his business with the said clan head has been taken care of, but one of his agents inside the Underworld hears a rumor that Akeno already reincarnated as a devil. After hearing the news, Nurarihyon then talks to Baraqiel and apologizes. It was the first time he fought one of the Grigori cadres in full power for the first time. After Baraqiel calming down, Nurarihyon then begins to explain the situation to Baraqiel. When the explanation is done, Baraqiel says that he will handle Akeno himself, saying that it was his duty as her father or something like that.

Nurarihyon snaps from his thoughts when the last person walks inside the meeting room.

"Good, you all here. Now let's start this meeting."

"Excuse me, but where is Yasaka-sama?"

"She is exhausted after using her true form and fights the Hero faction and the Teeth."

"I see."

Seeing the clan head nod at his answer, Nurarihyon release a relief breath as he doesn't want to say the real reason his lady is absent in the meeting.

~Early this morning~

Nurarihyon walks toward the Kojiro house after supervising the restoration of Kyoto. Lucky for them, the damage is not too severe, but there is a giant hole in the mountain that needs many magicians to restore to its original form.

He comes to Kojiro's house because he wants to let lady Yasaka there will be a meeting with the five clans and some of the Youkai clan heads. He also wants to tell them that Kunou and Sakura want to meet them. After the battle is finished, Kojiro takes both Kunou and Sakura to the palace as he needs to create a barrier around his house and not only at his home. Suspiciously, Lady Yasaka goes with him, saying that she will help Kojiro build the barrier, but he knows better. He knows that lady Yasaka wants to have some alone time with her mate and is feeling his right because, as he is just a few meters from Kojiro's house, he hears his lady's voice.

"MMMMMMMMMMMHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMM~~~~"

~End of Flashback~

He is never more grateful for his quick teleportation magic. However, he promises himself that he will ask Kojiro about the technique he uses. As he snaps from his thoughts, Nurarihyon then begins to hand out a piece of paper to the people around him.

"Inside these papers are the casualties we have and also the people we successfully kill in combat."

"Hero Faction casualty… All of them?"

"Yes, We successfully kill all the members of Hero Faction; however, some of the magicians successfully escape even then, it was only 5 of them that escaped."

"But how? If the rumor is right, then the member of the Hero faction can be considered at least a Low-Ultimate rank in terms of power. Not only do they have natural power, but they also possess a powerful Sacred Gear."

Without answering the question, Nurariyhon takes out a file and gives them to the people around him. As they open up the file, they see a picture of a squirrel-like creature with a white fur and wearing a white and blue cloak, with a red bow tie. While the other photo shows an image of a wolf-like creature with a deep blue horn on top of its head, it also releases a fire-like aura around its body while howling.

"The picture you see is the pet of Sasaki Kojiro. This creature is the reason why all the Hero faction is dead."

"What? This is the same creature?"

"Yes, they are the same creature."

"How?"

"I don't know how Fou kills them, but I only get a little bit of explanation from its owner."

"Fou?"

"The name of this creature."

"I see, then please tell us about this creature Nurarihyon-sama."

"Kojiro-dono only says that this creature has a nickname that will explain it."

"What is it?"

"Primate Murder"

"What?"

"Yes, This creature has a nickname, which is Primate Murder. If we look at its nickname, we can know that this creature can kill anything that has a definition of primate. Do you know who is included in this primate category? Human, and do you know who is human in the Hero faction? All of them."

"That is...."

"Horrifying, I know. That is why I call all of you here. I call you in here not only to get your monthly report but also want you people to search about Fou origin. You people are the ones that handle many mythical creatures around Japan, so I leave this job at your hand."

"YES!"

Hearing the answer, Nurarihyon nodded at them before saying.

"Good, now begin the monthly report."

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

Rizevim Livan Lucifer, the son of original Lucifer and one of few Super Devil in the world. He is currently in the secret base of the Khaos Brigade, specifically inside his office. He is now sitting on the chair and thinking about all the plans he has crumbled in front of his eyes. That damned Stray Devil causes all of this. First, they thwarted his plan to take the Sephiroth Grail from Valerie Tepes, the Dhampir. Because of the need for people to protect their land from the enemy, especially the Stray Devil in the Stray Devil uprising, Tepes's clan begins to treat Valerie as their beloved princess even though she is a Dhampir. Because of that, Rizevim cannot make his way out of getting the Sephirot Grail.

The other failure is the death of the Hero's Faction. The people that go to Kyoto with the intended use of Yasaka power to open up the Dragon Gate are a bust. Not only do they get killed by the Youkai faction, but also all the Sacred gear they have is stolen from them. Not only did he lose the strongest Longinus to the Youkai faction but also five demonic swords, including Gram the strongest demonic sword.

When the news of the Hero Faction gets wiped out, many members of Khaos Brigade try to quit, especially the magician group. Fortunately for him, Euclid Lucifuge can hold all the members to not go rogue on them. Even Ophis is disappointed in him and does not trust him anymore with her snake.

His only hope right now is the mercenary consisting of Stray Devil he hired will be successful to take away the original Holy Grail from the Vatican.
