Stand

My body felt numb.

I groggily opened my eyes and felt a stinging pain in my ass.

'So it really did happen..' I clenched my teeth as I struggled to stand after enduring so much.

The cold stench of iron still filled the room as Kenjaku's body lay still, unmoving.

Her unfamiliar face did raise some needed answers, though I put that to the back of my head as I lifted myself off the floor.

'clink'

The stinging pain in my arse suddenly felt more relieved.

'Did I just adapt to anal?' I felt perplexed at such a revelation, though I had little time to think too much about it as I still had a job to finish.

Ignoring the body that was likely to rot in my room, I put my pants back into place as I kicked the door wide open.

I whipped out my phone and dialed the number of someone I needed for my future plans.

Ring

A familiar voice echoed on the other side of the mobile, "Hello, Naohiro Zenin, I was starting to wonder if you'd ever call."

A weak grin was painted on my face, "Hey Choso, if you could stop by the Zenin compound my brother Naoya will be free there. I informed him about you guys, stay there and wait for me."

I'm sorry Naoya, I've got no clue if you're free, so I'll owe you one in the future.

"I understand." Choso acknowledged my request as I could hear some talking in the background.

"See you soon," I spoke as I hung up abruptly.

At this point, my cursed energy reserves had already filled up completely, but I still felt weak from the previous encounter.

Drip...

"Ah..." I looked down to see a white trail of liquid running down my leg.

"I should probably address that..." I pinched the bridge of my nose as I awkwardly used the bathroom.

...

I soon came face to face with the familiar compound that stood in front of me.

I sighed, "What's with that look? Do you want an apology?" I turned my head to the side as a teenager with dark blonde hair crossed his arms with a smirk.

"I for sure thought you'd be gone for another three years. What mission did Tengen have you do to come back this early?" His snarky question annoyed me.

I cracked my neck, "Mission? That was her excuse? That old bitch tried to seal me in a barrier for the rest of my life."

His eyes widened, "She what?!"

"That's right, she tried to seal me because she thought I was a danger to the balance of her world."

"I don't get it..." Naoya deadpanned as I sighed at him.

"Don't worry though, I already punched her for you." A broad smile stretched across my face as Naoya's mouth dropped.

"You... Punched Tengen...?"

Unable to contain my laughter I let out a chuckle, "Haha, sure did."

Though he suddenly grabbed my shoulders, "Are you insane?!"

I brushed him off, "Don't worry, I am the strongest after all." I gloated, similar to that of a certain senior.

He calmed down at that fact, but he couldn't help but be irritated by my statement.

"Oh! Not only that!" An evil grin was plastered on my face as I pulled out Tengen's phone and went to her camera roll.

"WHAT THE F#@(*" Naoya's eyeballs threatened to pop out at the sight of the great Tengen being humiliated in such a way.

"Hm? Didn't I do great? Aren't I the greatest brother?" I couldn't help but snicker as his face got even more angry.

"You know what, never mind, I can't even deal with you, I don't care about women anymore." He flipped his hands into the air in frustration as he nearly stormed off in pure irritation.

However, I stopped him as I reminded myself of something.

"I got some friends coming over, they're half curses but they're great guys."

Naoya couldn't help but facepalm, "I already have my hands full with everything going on, and I can't help but wonder if you having half curses as friends or having any friends is more shocking."

His expression changed as he seemed to have remembered something, "Also, Megumi wanted to see you."

"Potential man? Alright, I'll see what's up." I waved him off as I departed towards my destination.

Arriving in front of Megumi's room quietly, I very much quietly busted down his door with a heavy kick.

BAM!

"AHH!" Megumi's shriek filled the room at the sudden loud noise as I saw him scrambling onto his feet.

'Hm?'

I looked over to where he was sitting and there were some drawings that he hurriedly hid.

"Hey, it's been a while." I bellowed out as I walked over to the drawings that Megumi hid.

"I-I didn't think you'd come today." Droplets of sweat formed on his face.

"So, did you want something?" I asked, bending down to pick up the pieces of paper.

"Wait!" He tried to swipe it out of my hands, which I easily avoided.

"What's this?"

It was a childish drawing.

One that depicted a boy with sharp black hair, and a girl beside him with black hair.

And they were holding hands...

I immediately put my hand on Megumi's shoulder as I felt a tear swelling in my eye.

"You've grown so much potential man, but god dammit that is your sister for god's sake!" I slapped his head as he hit the wall violently.

"It's not like that!" He angrily shouted.

He suddenly lifted his hands into a particular stance.

"With this treasure..."

At this very moment, time seemed to stop for our protagonist as the surrounding world seemed to darken.

Naohiro immediately stretched his arm out at blind speeds, reaching Megumi like a blur.

"I summon!" Megumi shouted before his mouth was lightly punched by Naohiro.

'Shit, I wasn't expecting that.' Naohiro felt pissed as he saw the cocoon suddenly form in the middle of Megumi's room.

Awoo!

The call of Megumi's shinigami echoed out as Megumi decided now was the best idea to run out of the room with all of his strength.

"Alright, round two, maybe I can grow from this." Naohiro readied himself as the cocoon began to unravel itself.

"Eh?"

The cocoon unraveled itself to reveal the great general, but something was off about him.

Something startling, causing red lights to blare in Naohiro's mind.

"WHY IS MAHORAGA SEXY!?" Naohiro yelled as the tall muscular figure of Mahoraga was replaced by an ample-breasted one with an extremely toned body.

'How did shit hit the fan so fast in that seal?' Naohiro cursed his luck as the divine general approached him with heavy steps.

"This is going to be a long day..." Naohiro muttered as he observed the white monstrosity's approach.
