226 Kyoto is very beautiful

A visit to Kyoto felt like riding a time machine.

Although Eiji had seen it in anime and many photos or videos in his previous life.

Although with his power now he could go to any corner of this world.

This was the first time he came to Kyoto.

Unlike the city of Kuoh where the buildings are all modern, all the buildings in Kyoto look ancient. Of course there were also modern buildings, but not as many as the thousands of ancient buildings that were said to be relics of the Japanese Empire in the past.

Not the ugly old-fashioned kind of course, but the grand and well-cared-for kind.

Many wooden relics line the corners of the city.

The number of temples in the city was also far more than Kuoh and other cities in Japan, making the traditional atmosphere feel even stronger.

He and the other students from the second and third years got to this town by seven buses. The teacher divided them into groups.

"Rias, where are we going?"

"Lala, maybe we should go to Bamboo Grove first. It's written that the scenery of the bamboo grove is one of the popular tourist attractions."

"No, why should we go to the bamboo grove? Are you a panda? It's better to go somewhere else."

"Sona, do you have a better idea?"

"Give me that book."

Rias gave the travel guidebook in her hand to Sona with some annoyance. The latter began to turn the pages of the book at a fairly fast pace.

Unlike the other groups, with Rias and Sona present.

Their group consisting of Lala, Rias, Sona, Akeno, Haruna, Yui, Tsubaki and other women from the second and third grade that Eiji knew were in the same group.

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't Eiji who organized this group. The ones who did were Rias and Sona.

Eiji shook his head. These girls were abusing their power, but he didn't hate it.

¶{Host, west, 2 kilometers from you.}

"Girls, I think we should go to the west side of Kyoto. There's a nice shrine there."

Eiji who heard what Miss System said immediately spoke up which made Rias and Sona look at him flatly.

"The west side of Kyoto? Now that I think about it, Sona and I haven't told you guys that Kyoto is actually ruled by Youkai, right?"

"Just like Kuoh being devil territory, the supernatural side of Kyoto is dominated by the Youkai Faction. Eiji, I remember the leader of the Western Youkai was a beautiful woman. Could it be..." Sona narrowed her eyes.

"....." The other girls looked at Eiji.

Eiji pretended to cough. "What are you guys thinking? It's a shrine! Isn't the temple over there very popular?"

"Ara Ara. Speaking of shrines, I want to go there too."

[Akeno, good job! You, and your shrine maiden hobby are very helpful in this situation. Although that Western Youkai Faction leader intrigued me, but that's because I remembered there was a plot related to her!]

Plot?

Well... Rias and Sona looked at each other. The fact was that Kuroka had told them that Khaos Bridge was going to make a big move.

As the two devil heirs of the underworld they had certainly made preparations. That's why they were quite relaxed at the moment.

Eiji didn't know this, he continued the spoiler.

[In the original work, the people of the Hero Faction will kidnap Yasaka! That beautiful nine-tailed fox will be sacrificed by Cao Cao and the others to open the Dragon gate!]

Dragon gate?

[It's the Dragon gate that will later serve to summon Great Red from the Dimensional Gap.]

!!!

Rias, Sona and the others just knew this. Besides, the things Kuroka said are different from this.

[Of course it was in the original work, but after many plot changes... I'm not sure. From Kuroka being my double agent, I only know those people should have gotten Sephiroth Graal and produced a lot of Evil Dragons to create chaos in the world.]

[But hey, isn't the atmosphere here too peaceful?]

Eiji certainly didn't forget to check the future using his "Future Sight", and he was a little surprised. However, he didn't show it on his face.

[Rias: I think we should meet with the Western Youkai leader early.]

[Sona: Yes, we should tell him about the things that will happen.]

[Serafall: Rias-chan, Sona-chan. Don't worry, I've already done it~!]

[Sona: Onee-sama? You're also in Kyoto?!]

[Serafall: Hehe~ I haven't told you yet, but we also want to attract the Youkai Faction to join the alliance.]

A certain shrine that exists in the alternate dimension of Kyoto.

This place is separate from Kyoto in the human world, it's a Kyoto where everyone there is a Youkai.

In a traditional Japanese-style room, Serafall looked up at the blonde woman with fox ears and tail in front of her.

"Yasaka, what do you think? You agree, right?"

"Um... I agree, but I still have to discuss this with the other Youkai Faction leaders."

Yasaka, the leader of the Western Youkai looked at Serafall kindly. Although earlier she was surprised by the other party's sudden visit.

Hearing Serafall apparently wanted to invite the Youkai Faction to join the Four Faction Alliance consisting of Devils, Angels, Fallen Angels, and Norse Mythology.

Yasaka was actually happy and happily agreed because in addition to peace between races, the other party also offered them benefits.

But considering that the Youkai Faction was divided, she still had to discuss this agreement with the others.

"It's okay. I can wait, but Yasaka. Where's Kunou-chan? You'd better tell her to come home right now."

Kunou was Yasaka's daughter, Serafall had met the little girl several times before this while on her diplomatic assignment to Kyoto.

However, the reason she asked about the little girl's whereabouts was because she remembered what Eiji had said about the plot.

"Kunou? She's playing outside. Do you want to play with her? She's..."

Yasaka giggled, she thought Serafall couldn't wait to play with her daughter. But before she could finish her sentence, her Kunou's personal bodyguard whom she had told to guard the girl secretly suddenly walked into the room in a panic.

"Yasaka-sama! Yasaka-sama! It's bad! Kunou-sama has been kidnapped!"

"....." Yasaka was surprised, she naturally glanced at Serafall because she seemed to know something. It couldn't be the Devil Faction that kidnapped her daughter, right? Don't tell they took Kunou hostage to force her to agree to the alliance invitation?

Yasaka didn't expect Serafall who was like a friend to use such despicable methods.

Serafall sighed. "Look, Yasaka. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely not from our side. It's most likely people from the Hero Faction."

"Hero Faction?"

"Yes, don't worry. It just so happens that my sister's group and her fiancé are in this town. With their help, especially Eiji. We can save Kunou-chan quickly!"

Yasaka doesn't know who Eiji is. Wait, could it be him? The Youkai faction doesn't miss the latest news in the supernatural world either.

Not long ago, the name Eiji Seiya was often heard by their ears. This made Yasaka know a little about the man's greatness.

But still, is that man willing to help her save her daughter?!

Serafall looked confident when mentioning the man's name, she had no choice but to believe her.

Of course, she had sent her own people to look for Kunou. But the results were unreliable. After all, who in the supernatural world didn't know the people of the Hero Faction? Yasaka knew the leader of the group was Cao Cao, a True Longinus user who was said to have the power to kill gods. There are also many Sacred Gear, Holy Sword, and Evil Sword users in that group which makes them not to be underestimated.

In short Yasaka knows she has to ask the people on Serafall's side for help.

...

"My name is Yasaka, leader of the Western Youkai Faction. Are you Eiji Seiya-sama?"

"Yes, you can call me Eiji. Yasaka-san."

"Eiji-sama, please save my daughter!"

This was not long after Eiji and the others decided to go to the shrine on the west side. While some of the girls split up because they wanted to travel to another place not far away.

Eiji, Rias, Sona and the two girls' peerage received a call from Serafall. It was actually Sona who received the call, they were told to go to the Yasaka Shrine in the Gion District. It was still around Kyoto of course, and actually it was also the location well mentioned by Miss System, but Eiji knew the moment they entered that shinto shrine.

They had basically entered into another dimension that existed in Kyoto.

Put other details aside.

Now, in one of the rooms inside the temple. Eiji and the others finally met Serafall. It took a while for Eiji to separate Serafall who was hanging like a koala on his body.

Ignoring Serafall who silently gave him a thumbs up because it seemed like she had done something to make Yasaka beg him like this.

That woman who had soft-looking fox ears and nine tails lowered her head slightly while sitting seiza until her large breasts, bigger than Rias and Akeno's almost spilled out of her loose kimono.

Not only that, with golden blonde hair tied in a loose ponytail, that fox's ears and tail were as blonde as her hair. Her kimono was yellow in color, complete with a golden obi and black on the sleeves of her kimono which also had skull symbols.

Those skull symbols look cute. But instead of making her cute, she looks sexy. Especially with her voluptuous figure underneath the kimono and her white shoulders clearly displayed in front of everyone.

Her delicate facial features and short-cropped eyebrows don't help either. Yasaka is undoubtedly very beautiful! She's no heroine, but she's no worse than a heroine!

¶{Host, please calm down! Don't let the blood come out of your nose!}

¶{Image! Keep your yare-yare protagonist image!}

Miss System shouted, reminding her host who was about to have a nosebleed.

Eiji rolled his eyes. Who almost had a nosebleed? As Yasaka lowered her posture like that and called him "Eiji-sama" he felt his nose itch a little. His gaze often fell on her ears and tail.

They looked soft and seemed to be pleasant to touch.

[This is different from Nemomimi like Kuroka, I wonder how Kemonomimi can... Cough, right. The plot has changed somewhat, instead of Yasaka, Kunou is the one who was kidnapped? Is Cao Cao a pedophile?]

Almost, Eiji suddenly mocked Cao Cao.

However, how could Serafall, Rias, Sona and the others not see the man's interest in Yasaka?

This man...

Yasaka certainly noticed Eiji's gaze which often stared at her ears and tail. The man's handsome face also looked dazed. Yasaka can't help but feel proud her beauty still hasn't declined after all this time.

The corners of her mouth lifted, seemingly flirting with the opposite sex before saying. "Eiji-sama?"

Eiji shook his head. Yasaka's Kemonomimi was scary, he was trying not to look like a japanese beta protagonist who would make a stupid face at this time.

"You said... Save your daughter? I see. No wonder Onee-chan called me here. Makes sense... Can you tell me the details first?"

¶{Host, I just found out you have this kind of fetish. When you were with Kuroka, you didn't show it clearly.}

―What nonsense are you talking about? I'm being serious here.

¶{I can't believe it! Hahaha!}

Eiji ignored Miss System's mockery and looked at Yasaka very kindly.

What crazy man would pretend to be cold in this situation?

Seeing someone in trouble and asking you for help.

You should help her. That's what a fellow human should do. The nine-tailed fox, Kitsune is no exception.

Hearing what Eiji said, Yasaka was happy that the man didn't seem to refuse. She quickly explained the things that her daughter's personal bodyguard had previously reported to Eiji and the others.

"So the person who kidnapped your daughter, Kunou was a group of masked people wearing black robes with a snake emblem?" Eiji asked for confirmation.

"Yes... Serafall said the people from the Hero Faction actually had a plan to kidnap me. So it's probably them, but according to the Youkai Faction's intelligence, I know people from that group never hide their identities when doing things." Yasaka hesitated and added. "Maybe it's people from another Faction?"

"No, Yasaka-san. It must be the Hero Faction!" Eiji immediately refuted and emphasized that it was Cao Cao and the others.

The people in the room were a little surprised because this man was quite excited, right?

"If not them, Khaos Bridge must be behind them. Those bad guys, they dare to kidnap Yasaka-san's daughter. Don't worry, I happen to have a problem with their leader too."

"So Eiji-sama..."

"Yes, I will help you."

"Thank you Eiji-sama. If you need any help, don't hesitate to say so." The worry in Yasaka's eyes due to Kunou being kidnapped had diminished a lot, she felt with Eiji willing to save her daughter.

Somehow that problem would be resolved.

Yasaka and the others of course couldn't see the halo that was now shining brightly above Eiji's head.

However after Eiji agreed to Yasaka's request. Ignoring the gaze of Rias and Sona who stared at him while whispering "shameless."

Eiji brought Rias and Sona's group to teleport with him. He told Serafall to stay with Yasaka just in case.

Hearing Eiji ask one of the Maou to stay by her side, Yasaka was a little moved because Eiji was too worried about her, right? As one of the leaders of the Youkai Faction, she was naturally very strong. Especially during the time she was in Kyoto, she was practically invincible and difficult to defeat, even by some ultimate class creatures.

But still...

"It's good to have a man who cares about you, isn't it Yasaka? "

"Serafall, what are you talking about? I don't think of Eiji-sama in that way. I'm a widow and have a child, I..."

"Oh my. You even call him Eiji-sama~ Do you want to know more about him? I can tell you!"

Yasaka wanted to refuse, but her hand was pulled by Serafall until she had to sit and listen to the woman ramble on about Eiji.

Instead of listening to that, Yasaka actually wanted to do something else to find her daughter. But Serafall insisted that just leave everything to Eiji.

Yasaka wasn't sure, but this woman wasn't trying to be a matchmaker between her and Eiji, was she?
