While I stare into her face while she is pinned to the ground, she suddenly turns her head to the side where our eyes can’t meet. While avoiding eye contact, she says, “Get off of me and give me back my mask, you utter pile of garbage.”“If you want to be so rude, you should say such things to my face or are you too shy for that.”“JUST GET OFF!” She screams as her tails try to attack me.I move away in time, grabbing her basket in one hand while having her mask in another. “That wasn’t nice.”She stands up with her back facing me and says, “You attacked me first.”“Only because you humiliated me for no reason. Do you know the looks I get while walking around the city?”“Don’t worry about that since your existence is embarrassing enough.”Annoyed I say, “As punishment for your big mouth, I will eat all the food in this basket right here, right now.”She jumps forward and tries to hit me due to my declaration. While she tries to hit me, she turns around, and I look directly into her fa

Walking back to the inn after a rather long day, Zashiki greets us. “How did today go for the both of you,” she said.“Fine, I got solutions to some of the problems we were facing. Though I had to run all over the city to find them.”“That sounds wonderful. You probably got some great sightseeing while you were running around.”“You know, I am pretty sure I was so obsessed with getting what I wanted that I didn’t even bother to look at any of the sights in the city.”“Well, that’s a pity, but for however long you stay here, I hope you manage to get some in.”“I promise I will,” I say as we open the door to our room, but I am greeted with a strange sight. The Gyaku kitsunes have Sparrow tied up and are kicking him while he is on the ground.“What are you guys doing to our guests,” Zashiki says.“Oh, don’t worry. Even if they drown him, we wouldn’t care much.”“It’s not that, I have never seen them do something this aggressive before. This isn’t a good sign. All of you are coming with m

As the people around me start to increase, they yell at me, saying;“Why are you here?”“Have you come to curse us?”“You’re the one making the minuses stronger, aren’t you.”“Don’t you know how your existence has brought ruin to our businesses?”“Stop destroying our lives!”“Why did you have to be born into our village.”“Was it not enough destroying your parent’s lives.”“GET OUT!” Someone screams at me as they throw a stone my way. But as the stone comes towards me, Orb knocks it away as he and Cyrus arrive.“What are you people doing?”“Stay out of this foreigner.”“How can I stay out of this when my friend.”“Friend, do you even know what that child is?”“She must have tricked him.”“To think she has been trying to bewitch all the travellers all this time.”“Even after we put up with her existence in our village, she still pulls stunts like this. I have had enough of this, let us remove her.”Cyrus smashes his foot into the ground, which releases a mighty shockwave pushing people

I was brought to the Himeji castle when I arrived in the capital. I was always told as a child that it was a giant beautiful building where the shogun lived. It was a place I wanted to visit one day. To think I could come here, though my circumstances weren’t the ones I wanted to see it under.The first thing they did when I got there was isolate me from everyone. I was given a new change of clothes and was brought excellent food daily. However, I hated when they came to provide me with anything because whenever they approached, I could feel their hatred, fear and disgust at my presence. Every day I would feel more and more of their emotions until one day, I started to hear their thoughts.Full of animosity, they would discuss:“She is too dangerous to be kept alive.”“The fox rampage this time might destroy more than our country.”“It is our duty as humans to end this threat. We should execute her immediately.”“Kids cannot be put to death for any reason.”“Will you let such a foolis

-Break-Every day since Suzuka told us her name, we have come to visit her. The twinstars have tightened their defences around the area of her house, but as long as we sneak past them, it is no issue.Whenever we arrive, Suzuka is filled with joy to be with us, so much so that I felt that she was overbearing but still, that smile is too genuine for me to complain, so I bear with it.We spend all our time from morning till night playing. We draw, we build snow sculptures, we even fight though Suzuka tends to beat our asses at all of these things, which has stroked my competitive spirit quite a bit. So instead of making sure she has been having a fun time, I have been trying to crush her with all my heart though it turns out life isn’t going my way.One day I lost so completely at everything I fell to the ground on my hands and knees in defeat with tears falling down my eyes. Seeing this, Suzuka said to me.“Sorry about this Orb I’ll let you win the next one.”“That won’t make me happy,

-Break-Φ The dark cloud in the sky me and Cyrus see suddenly collapses in on itself and disappears. Following this, screams are heard, and debris flies everywhere even in our direction.As it comes at Cyrus and me, I freeze it, but looking around me, not everyone is so lucky. Debris blasted off some of their body parts, crushed some of their bodies, and landed on lots of the buildings. Seeing this, the feeling to vomit almost overtakes me, but I hold it back.Then I say to Cyrus, “I need you to go back to the inn to drop the medicine there. When you get back, make sure Sparrow is ready. If this is what I think it is, we might need to proceed with our plan tonight instead of tomorrow.”“R-R-R-Right,” Cyrus says as he leaves, I go around and start helping the people who were crushed by the debris around me. The spirits in the area and the buildings, also come out to help.“Do you have any idea what is doing this?” I ask one of the spirits.“It’s a minus. I can feel it, all of the spiri

After Cyrus says this, the minus with its flaming katana swings directly at him.“DODGE!” I scream.But Cyrus blocks the blow, from the katana taking the full shockwave of the impact, and absorbing the flames.“You’re interesting. To think a human is this strong” the minus says as Cyrus knocks it back.I move up to Cyrus and ask, “How did you do that.”Sporadically he says, “I j-j-just got my s-s-sword then I thought I couldn’t let you d-d-die, then black mist appeared. L-L-Legacy active sword changed darkness came out minus defeated.” When he finishes saying all this, I feel like steam is coming out of his head.“It’s okay slow down. We will figure this out later, but we need to get past that monster because behind it is Suzuka.”He starts panicking and says, “Is she ok? What is going on? Did t-t-t-that monster hurt her?” while getting close.“Cyrus, you’re ruining the cool Aura you had. Clam down,” I say, pushing his face away.“S-S-Sorry”“I need someone to distract him as I get cl

-Break-19 years earlierΦ “Inari-sensei, there is a monster outside!”“I don’t remember training any of you guys to lose to a minus, now do I.”“It isn’t a minus, it’s a human.”After my student finished saying this, I suddenly see more of my students fly through the dojo door. “What the hell is going on”, I say, dumbfounded by this situation.Then walking on top of the defeated bodies of my students, I see a young boy come in, and he says, “Your Inari Gozen the one in charge here aren’t you?”“Yes, I am now, would you please stop walking over my students.”“Who cares about that; soon I will be walking all over you”, the young boy says as he jumps to attack me. Dodging his blows, I see how incredibly sharp his spirit energy control is, not only that his footwork is great and he is aiming for all my weak spots; I see how he was able to so easily overpower my students, but I won’t go down so easily.So, after giving the brat a fake opening to strike, I catch him and restrain him.

Φ As Dagda laughs in front of me, I say, "So if you would excuse me."With his same cherry smile as always, he says, "Haha, your jokes are as tasteful as your clothes. Now Medb where is my money?""Money? You mean the financial instrument we have assigned value to for the sake of switching things we have made into items we have collected from our environment and from others through labour, intelligence and ingenuity?"With his smile fading a bit, he says, "Hahaha, yes. Now where is it?""Dagda what really is value? Is it something kings assign value to-,""Yes."Putting my finger on his lips, I say, "OR! Is it the exchange of wills from one person to another, so isn't my mere smile payment enough?""Not a chance, now my money."I get thrown off my balance as he rejects me, and then I lean on him and say, "We have known each other for a long time, and you still don't trust me.""I trusted you decades ago when I invested in your research hoping for a return.

Location: City of GoriasΦ For six days a festival has been raging on within the city of Gorias, and the entire providence of Gorias.The beastkin during the festivals made it a point to dress in clothes far more ornate than usual; wearing flowers throughout their bodies, or dressing in clothes made entirely out of plants.Clothes made out of animals had the motif of using materials from animals their innate beast was hunted or were hunted by as a sign of greater connection.The druids made clothes out of plants that could be modified with their beast blood battle, allowing them to change their designs of the clothes, and throughout the city, designated druids were given instructions to change the clothes of those who passed by.Many wore jewellery such as brooches, pins, armlets, rings, and torcs against the animal parts of their bodies as a way to honour their heritage, while many others decorated their bodies with paint or tattoos which represent ancient stories or those who they c

Minagrain in front of me turns incredibly nervous, and she blushes again and again. Her ears start to move wildly, and she takes her tail and uses it to cover her face. She jumps from one foot to the next and then falls to the ground while still holding her tail.Then she looks at me, and she nods."Was that a, yes?" A say with a face of disbelief."Yes," She gestures towards me.I pick her up, twirl her around, and say, "I happen to be the happiest man around!"She turns more and more red as I twirl her around, and we both laugh together. Then stopping I hold her tight and put the ring on her finger which makes her raise her arm to stare at it, before looking directly at me and smiling.Is it even fair to be this cute? Is it even fair to be this adorable? It is like this little girl has a grip on my soul, and there is nothing I can do about it. I am completely dominated by her."Don't worry Minagrain, I will get this traded for some jewellery for your tail instead of this human tradi

So now I want to go stay with my hot wife.""Well, I haven't been able to meet with my hot wife yet, so we all stay single together!""Don't lump me in with the both of you."Aurelius and Culainn say, "Minagrain," and instantly all the energy in my legs fades and I fall to the ground."Low blow.""Someone needs to take down your ego every now and then."Reaching h

Aurelius looked up at me with a pained and frustrated expression. It is the face of someone who has had to swallow a harsh reality that they would rather reject under all circumstances."What? Is the truth hard to hear? Well as you said people are free to make whatever choices they want, so if she didn't like it, she could have just killed herself couldn't she have.""Setanta shut the hell up!""But you would hate that wouldn't you, you want her to be alive and suffer through all of that, just so you can make her pump out her fifth set of kids that look like you don't you."He raises his fist to punch me, and as he does, I say, "Hit me all you want but understand that the only reason you can is because I let you. You're no different than a pet biting its master in this moment, you can get as sad and angry as you want but your survival demands good behaviour.Even after all I said you still want to live so bad that you won't punish me for my words.

The beastkin rushes at Setanta from all sides, and he fights and fights and fights.Red Branch battle arts; Starflower, Clover, Tulip, Sky flower, Sonic thrust, Camellia Japonica, Passiflora, Morning Glory.Again and again, he uses the forms of his style to strike down the foes who come for his neck, using whatever weapons he can, even his own flesh.His weapons and flesh break down from this constant battle, but Setanta doesn't stop until he starts to push them back.Scared by this Dáire rookies rush back in to help him and his men, and the fight rages on even more.They come towards Setanta again, and again ripping his flesh out which causes Setanta to scream in pain again and again. But never falls.To all those who see this sight fear and awe is put in their hearts as they await for him to crumble down and simply give up, but again and again he rises to strike down more and more beastkin until, the very foes he is fighting start to feel more strain then he does.The rookies, the e

Setanta lands and the moment he does, he moves to the crowd and grabs a knife from one of the members of the mob who are all holding miscellaneous weapons. Then he moves towards Culainn and Aurelius pulling them out of harm's way."You ok old man, do you need some worms?"Culainn looks at Setanta and says, "Don't make fun of birds you stupid wolf."Setanta smiles, then gets up and faces Dáire, then he says, "First son of the Lugh Ó Faoláin, next head of the house of Faoláin and the next king of Gorias, Setanta Ó Faoláin. I give you only until the next time I blink to explain to me what just happened to my compatriots."Blinking, he says, "Times up."Setanta glares at all of them with a ferocity that makes many of them except Dáire elite warriors shudder in fear.Dáire looks at Setanta, and says, "Son of Lugh, a human was caught walking in our lands, and will be judged by the rules of it.""This is Biorg land.""But this is the providence of Findias, so it still all falls under the con

Any member of the village would be aware of this.""You sold us out?"With a disgusted expression, Daragh says, "Of course I did you human. No matter how I am treated I know not to make deals with the devil that could curse all my people."Daragh walks away and as he does a man comes out from the mob of people throughout the forest, and says, "Good work my son, you have truly shown that it was worth raising you."As his father rubs his head, he makes

But don't hold it against him, the little boy seems to be in a dire strait."Beside me Daragh comes up and looks at the horses, so I turn to him and say, "Do you want to touch one?""Can I!" He says with a bright expression.Picking him up, I hold him near the horse and say, "Horses are very highly perceptive, and will sense distrust. So, make sure to earnestly approach.""I will."He slowly brings his hands close and then touches its head. As he does the horse playfully rubs its head against Daragh's hand, and he looks back at me whilst saying, "He is touching me back! I think he likes me!""You're right about that, it seems he senses what a good man you are."Daragh looks at the horse, and says, "They never let me go near one back at home. Horses are animals which are
