Two years have passed sicne the moment Lucian passed his Hell Trials successfully.
But these two years weren't as peaceful as one might think. One of the most notable ones was that his younger sister was finally born, and her name was very surprisingly Artemia. Even though his father was still a little disappointed with this, he soon overcame it.
Now his little sister was two years old, and she was a lovely little baby girl. Her mother was very doting on her and was with her every second she could. It was fascinating that his younger sibling was very quiet and didn't even cry much.
The bad thing for Lucien was that now his mother was taking care of his younger sister Artemia; she didn't have any time to train with him in Kenjutsu, and he was forced to train either with Royal Guards or his father, who knew very little about swordsmanship. His mother only trained with him once for two weeks or so.
Lucien was now already nineteen years old and was preparing to go to Tokyo. It was already time to kill some Washuu for revenge. And from what Lucien knew, that original story should also begin in some time.
Now it was August, and the Steel Beem Incident happened sometime in early October. So Lucien would have around three months to scout terrain there. He wanted to visit one place to meet with a particular hot red-haired information broker.
Lucien was now in the garden, waiting for his host to arrive. It was Dante who had finished his Hell Trails now because he was postponed because only several months after Lucien exited that place massive flood of demons happened.
Fortunately, only several Greater Demons came and Demon Noble.
The Demon Noble was swiftly killed by his grandfather Azrael who was now 6th-Star Ghoul. Now that he was on 6th-Star, he gained additional kagune to his original rinkaku. He now had ukaku, so he was capable of flight.
In short, the Demon Flood was solved, but many demons escaped to the island, so even Lucien and Dante had to join the hunt for escaped demons. Lucien even managed to kill two Greater Demons with the usage of his Kakuja V3.
As Lucien was sitting in the garden, suddenly, Dante came clothed in his traditional red suit and with a gloomy look on his face.
"Why are you so disheartened?"
Asked Lucien, his friend who sat beside him. Today the weather was rather good, and it wasn't raining; the wind was weak. Lucien then waved to the nearest maid to bring them some blood.
"I just came from that dammed place several days ago. You were so lucky that your trials were before that demon flood. Now even the whole valley is totally overcrowded with Red Demonised Orcs and Claw Demons. If my blood manipulation weren't specialized in combat against multiple enemies, I would have long died there."
Complained Dante to Lucien. It was the truth that now the entire place was overcrowded with too many demons. Happily, Dante had excellent combat skills when it came to combat against multiple enemies, thanks to his blood manipulation innate ability.
"Fortunately, you have survived, my friend. Listen here. Tomorrow I will be leaving for Tokyo. You know that our family and race have some unresolved issues with Washuu Clan, so my family is sending me there to resolve them and pay them back with blood. If those bastards didn't detonate so many explosives there, the spatial rift wouldn't expand so drastically."
Told Lucien to him. He was preparing to leave tomorrow or the day after. It was already time to leave for Tokyo as he wanted to be there before canon happened. Truth to be told, he urged there only because he wanted to meet two women who would become his wives in the future. Everybody has selfish motives for doing things.
"Hmm. Sounds hard, but the Washuu's has been plotting something these years, so be careful, brother."
Said Dante. He wished for success for his only friend.
"Don't worry. Even though I am going to be alone there, I have made proper preparations. If you have any free time and your family would let you, you could come to visit me, brother."
They both shook hands as they exchanged farewell, and Dante left.

Lucien was in his room, controlling everything he would take with him to Tokyo. Money wasn't much problem cause his family was extremely rich in terms money.
Because they annihilated almost all dangerous ghouls in America, which were above S-Rated, they made tremendous money just from killing those ghouls and not talking about some huge corporations whose shares were owned by their families.
He was only taking with him some random stuff, bottles of good demonic blood and similar commodities. Lucien then proceeded to check "The Game" because he didn't see it for a while. Rest would be sent to him at a later date.

***
Abilities: Telekinesis]
To reach the 5th Star, he would need to have an RC Level of 75,000, which was a tremendous amount. The fastest way was cannibalism, and fortunately, in Japan, there were a lot of unruly ghouls that could be eaten.
He lay on his bed and went to sleep. He knew that he would be able to return only after several years at best cause this mission was a rather hard one. He knew that if he was at 6th-Star, he could just go straight to Washuu Clan and kill everybody there, but that was pure nonsense.
Firstly Washuu's were much more powerful compared to what he knew from the manga. Secondly, if he really, by some miracle, reached 6th-Star, he would be stationed as a guard within the entrance to the underground because of the demon threat.
Lucien closed his eyes slowly, enjoying the feeling of being with his family and being home.
