That time I got reincarnated as an Oni

Chapter 22 Counterattack

  It was evening by now, Shiva together with Benimaru sat near the campfire. Shiva was looking at his hand before glancing towards a nearby tent where small light was seen. 

"About earlier..."

 Shiva looked back at Benimaru who began to speak.

"What happen?"

"What do you mean?"

 Shiva raised an eyebrow at Benimaru's question.

"You know, that time when you disappeared. All we saw was flash of light and you where gone. As if lightning struck in the place you were!"

"Oh, that..."

 Shiva nodded as he finally understood what Benimaru wanted to ask him. He looked back down at his hand and hummed.

"I think...I created new technique..."

"You...created it? How does that work?"

"I am not sure myself. But all I know is that they can be quite powerful and their are called 'dances' not techniques."

 Benimaru thought for a second before his eyes widen slightly.

"Like that carnage you made when humans attacked?"

 Shiva nodded to his question, and before they could continue they heard tent flaps open and close. Both looked towards the tent and saw Shion walking out of it, she made her way towards them and sat next to Shiva. She then picked up a long stick and placed it into the fire.

"How is she?"

 Shion sighed slightly with a concerned face. 

"She will be fine. She just depleted her magicules too quickly. Tomorrow morning she will be okay."

"It's good to hear."

 Shiva smiled slightly while looking into the fire. Shion looked up at him and smiled just like him before turning back towards the fire. Benimaru then got Shiva's attention.

"Do you know what Kurobe's doing? I still need to talk him off for leaving task given to him."

 "He should be sleeping by now, if not then he is in the caves."

"Why?"

"He is making something special for me...He will go there only once or twice a week."

 Benimaru nodded slightly confused. Three of them sat in silence before Souei appered out of nowhere, he bowed slightly before Benimaru. 

"Preparations are completed, Young Master."

"It's good to hear. Let's march out."

 Benimaru nodded towards Shiva who nodded back and all three stood up. Shion got confused and also stood up.

"Hey! Where are you going?!"

 Shiva turned towards her with a frown on his face.

"We are going to take care of those Dire Wolves. We cannot allow them to attack any more ogres."

"Ehhh?! And you are not taking me with you?!"

 Shion pouted while fake tears gathered in the corners of her eyes. Shiva sighed and patted her heard.

"You need to stay here. Hakurou is probably sleeping after full day of training young ones to fight, Kurobe also is a sleep. We need someone else to sat guard when we are away."

 Shion nodded slowly but didn't stop pouting. Shiva sighed again seeing that there is help in it.

"We will be back before sunrise. I love you."
