I nod my head and close the panel. It looks like I level up both my main level and my class level. Hunting around the boss' tower is really a good idea. Not only is the area filled with level two and level three monsters, but it is also filled with a special monster.
Level two monsters give me two EXP, and level one special monster gives me ten EXP while the level two monster gives me twenty EXP.
Anyway, I walk away from the dungeon and walk home. After I arrive in front of my house and walk inside. I walk to the refrigerator, take a cold cola and sit down on the chair in the kitchen.
I open up the skills panel and see the new skill I get from leveling up my class.
Mind of a Hunter| |Passive| |Level: MAX|
Give a great boost on mental attack resistance.|
It was not much, but it was a great skill nonetheless. I don't know how much it boosted my mental defense, but it was still good.
I open up my other skills and look at my progress.

Skill has a maximum level of fifty, and the spin kick is the highest active skill I currently have. The reason why this skill is so high is that there are too many ambushes. The ghoul around the boss' tower is really annoying.
They can come from every direction. Literary. They can jump off from the building to the ground and try to bite your head off. A seemingly empty road? Well, too bad there is a ghoul underground ready to jump up when I get close enough.
This is the reason why my Spin Kick skill gets so high.
Anyway, after checking all the skills, I get up and walk to the kitchen and get ready to cook some food. It is really tiring fighting against monsters for two days straight. I did not have a good night's sleep because of the paranoia of the ghoul attacking me.
Lucky for me, I found a good spot inside the destroyed house on the border between the high-level area and the low-level area. With it on the border between the area, there are not too many monsters roaming around.
"Hmmm, what should I make today…."

Akagawa Yuka POV|
"That is all that is happening, elder."
My father and I are currently reporting the event to the elder inside the emperor's palace—the fight between the Jorogumo and us.
The Elder is an individual that works as the Emperor's hands and feet. Those four individuals are some of the strongest people in Japan. They are the ones that handle the affair in the Moonlight World. From military to economic power, they are the ones handling them.
"I see. This is the tenth time a high-class monster has been spotted in a month. This is worrying."
That is true. This can only be happening in two scenarios. The first one is someone summoning all the Youkai from Makai. The second one is because there is a crack between our world and Makai.
Both of those scenarios are bad. If someone is summoning a high-level demon from Makai, that means there is a high-ranking sorcerer that wants to cause too much chaos. The other scenario, on the other hand, is horrible.
If there is really a crack between our world and Makai, then there will be a demon invasion not too long from now.
"Thank you for telling us this, Akagawa Yuka. With your report, we now know there is something fishy going on. However, because of this, I need the support of the Akagawa family in searching for the reason for this increase of Youkai and demon numbers in our world."
This time it was my father, the one answering the elder.
"Of course, Elder. We, the Akagawa Family, will lend our full power in investigating this problem."
"Good. Then I will leave the City of Tokyo to you. I will send a letter to the other family saying that your family is the one handling all the Moonlight matters."
"Thank you, Elder! It is an honor!"
"Think nothing of it. I'm only giving your family a job after all."
It's not only that. By what the elders say, we, the Akagawa Family, will be the leader of the City of Tokyo, and the other family cannot object to this matter.
"Now. Let us speak about this boy helping you kill the Jorogumo. I think his name is Himura Tanaka?"
"That is right, Elder."
"Tell me about this boy. His background, his current power, and his behavior."
My father nods his head and says.
"Himura Tanaka. The son of Himura Enzo and the grandson of Himura Kujou."
"Himura Kujou as in the head of Himura Family?"
"He is still the head of the Himura family, yes. Is that a problem, elder?"
"Problem? No. However, that makes this situation easier. Akagawa Shigeatsu, I command you to cease all the investigation regarding the Himura family. This is an official order from us."
"Of course, elder."
I know that my father really wants to ask what's the matter, but he knows that the elder will not answer his question.
"Good. Then you are dismissed. Expect a dozen high-ranking Onmyouji to come to Tokyo to help with the investigation."
"Understood. Thank you, elder."
"Good. You can now go back home."
"Excuse us."
After bowing to the elders, we walked away from the palace and went back home. I wonder why the Elder told us not to investigate the Himura family.

~Elder POV~
I look at both daughter and father, walk away from the palace, and look at my back.
"Begin the investigation regarding if the Himura family is the Himura family as I thought they are."
"Yes, my lord."
Himura family. An ancient family that can be traced back to the time of the Edo Era. While the name of the Himura family is not written in the mundane history books, they are the descendants of one of the famous clans.
They are the direct descendants of the infamous Kato Danzo.
It was not public knowledge that Kato Danzo had a descendant and that said descendant had a unique bloodline. They can hide their presence. Even the most powerful barrier and sensor Onmyouji, have a hard time detecting them.
While the Himura family did not influence and power in the moonlight world, I did not want them to know about this side of the world. If this Himura Tanaka is really the descendant of the Himura family, then I hope to recruit them or at least build a positive relationship with him.
It was an idiotic action to antagonize a family that can sneak into your house and poison you before even you were waking up.
