Both of their strengths are nearing Middle-class-low strength, so their progress is good.
Kuisha is learning actual Magic that Humans use, so her spell-casting will be more efficient, instead of using normal Demonic Power Magic that uses a lot of power, she is using the one that uses less power for slightly greater effects in some casting. She is getting ready for the Bishop Piece.
Tsubaki has left for her mountain training with Okita Souji, and I am still in Japan looking for Akeno.
As my Gremory blood had been guiding me, I found out from investigation that Akeno Himejima has been moving from place to place doing odd jobs for yen to eat. It seems she has been doing things like clearing out haunted houses, purifying Spirits, and healing minor curses.
But no matter how close I get to finding her, I just keep missing her, sigh.
As I was walking down a neighborhood on the far outskirts of Osaka, I had another urge to come here. The two girls behind me are eating some roadside grilled squid sticks, and Ni asked me.
"Ray, I do not think that Akeno Himejima wants to meet you ~Nya. Munch munch!"
On the other-side from Ni, Li to my right offers me a bite of the skewer she bit off of, and I just take a bite to make her happy, she then said.
"Ni, it is fine with me, it just means more time traveling with Master ~Nya! Chew chew!"
Suddenly, I stopped in front of a two story suburban tract-home with a wall. My feelings are coming from here.
So I go to the door and knock. .
Knock Knock! After I tapped the door, my feeling vanished again. I notice this happens a lot as I get close.
I think somehow that Akeno is flying away, or using Transportation Magic to flee.
Then the door opened and a middle-aged Human woman answered with concern on her face. Well yeah, I look like a redhead European boy, so in Japan it is strange.
She asked.
"Hello, what can I do for you?"
I held up a Picture of Akeno with a really good likeness of her, and I asked with a charming smile.
"Hello mam. My name is Ray Gremory, I am looking for this nice girl, Akeno Himejima.
Have you seen her, she was in this area recently and I have been desperately trying to find her?"
"Ah, Sorry young man, but I have not seen her. .
. Maybe try next door, perhaps she is playing with the children there?"
I pulled out one of my Summoning Flyers with my Magic Crest, and held it to the woman.
"Please mam, if you see my friend, give this to her. .
. She will know what it means.
And tell her I am her friend, and I will keep trying to find her. Sorry to have bothered you, goodbye.
As the lady took the Flyer, she closed and locked the door. I turned and left dejectedly.
After the woman locked the door, Akeno stepped out and said.
"Thank you for covering for me, I will leave out of the back so they won't come back. "
"Take this, so I can at least say I delivered it for the nice boy. Is he really not a good child?"
Akeno took the Magic Flyer and saw the summoning crest on it and said to the lady.
"That nice boy is a real life Devil, so don't be deceived. I will leave, thanks for the food and yen.
After pocketing the Flyer, she left the job. .
With Ni and Li each holding a hand, Ni said to me,
"Why leave, that girl was in the house ~Nya?"
"Sigh, Girls I will not forcefully recruit someone, and she has trust issues. I believe everyone should have free will, and only in the most dire circumstances would I recruit someone.
If I had my Evil Pieces, and I found she had just been slain from an enemy, I would bring her back and make it up to her, but now? If she does not want to talk, I am helpless. "
Li, who has grown a bit taller, put her head on my shoulder and told me.
"Ray, and that is why we love you ~Nya! Um, Now can we go get some Milk ~Nya?"
And the three of us walked off into the setting sun. .
Another month passes, but still no Akeno to be found, and Ray has given up, choosing to go to Kyoto.
"Sir, the shame of our Clan went this way, follow the flying talisman, it has her tracks!"
A team of 7 Himejima Clan Priests, wearing white robes, are running through the forest in hot pursuit of their quarry for execution.
Akeno Himejima is looking rough, with tears in her tattered Shrine Maiden robes. She can hear the group hunting her.
Her last job betrayed her, and sold out her location from a wanted poster, and knowing her skills, brought a Middle-class Priest that can counter all of her spells.
"Hah hah! I-I cannot run anymore, sigh~!"
Just as her sigh left her mouth, she found herself surrounded by 7 Priests, and the leader said to the exhausted girl.
"Akeno Himejima, you got away for a year, but your Fallen Angel cursed bloodline ends here. Sorry, I will not lay your body with your mother, and you will just perish quietly here.
Any last words before we carry out your sentence?"
With wet eyes,being forced like this she held onto a paper in her sleeve, and said in defeat.
"I do have something to say. .
. I wish to live, and even if that means summoning the Devil, I will live, but I do not know if you will.
Soon a crimson light made its way from her sleeve, and above the heads of the group, a crimson circle appeared drawing a Summoning Circle of the Gremory House.
"SHIT! Quickly kill her before the Summoning is finished, or we will be in trouble, that is the Gremory Crest!"
