"You sure this'll work?" Shobu asked, holding the rare ore in his hand, glancing at Okami, before hesitantly looking over at Esdeath, who was waiting patiently for them.
"Yes." Okami responded, taking a heavy breath as he held up his own ore.
"Alrig...
The Jaegers were standing in a hall, which lead down to Bolic, who was sitting confidently in a large chair, a bunch of drugged up women wearing barely anything draped around him, their eyes unfocused and smiles wobbly.
"I must say, I requested reinforcements from the Minister when I feared my safety was threatened but, I never dreamed to be sent the Empire's strongest, General Esdeath." Bolic spoke, petting one of the woman in his harem over the head.
"Nothing could be more reassuring than your presence! Only my most loyal and faithful constituents have been invited to this party, feel free to relax and enjoy yourselves." He added.
"The Minister ordered us to protect you, we'll need to borrow a number of rooms for our lodging." Esdeath responded icily, not feeling in the mood for games.
"Of course! I'm sure you'll find my home is anything but boring~" He said suggestively, motioning to the women.
Okami put a hand on Wave's shoulder, who had gripped a fist, and shook his head no. "It's not our place."
Esdeath shook her head. "I have no interest in your little harem, however, I would like to meet those you have watching us from the ceiling." She responded.
"Just as I expected, so you noticed them." Bolic mumbled, snapping his fingers.
Wave looked up, surprised as four figures jumped down, appearing beside Bolic.
"The Empire gave them to me to help control this cult, they're the embodiments of violence. The four Rakshasas of the temple of the Imperial fist!" Bolic introduced them.
Okami's hand twitched. "What a name, I wonder just how well they'd live up to their reputation?" He asked quietly, a grin on his face.
"Well well, I was wondering why they weren't in the Capital, so this is where they've been." Esdeath said, her smile almost bordering a smirk.
"Now that you're here, General, I can put these demons on the offensive rather than limit them to my personal protection." Bolic announced.
Seryu frowned. "Wait a second! There's a chance that a team called Night Raid is in the city, they all use Teigu, you can't expect these guys to take them on without Teigu!" She rebutted.
One of the men of the four demons suddenly appeared behind Seryu, a hand extended out to the back of her neck.
His mind was elsewhere however, as he turned his head around, a sick grin on his face.
Just behind him, Okami had gripped hard on the man's lower back, so much so that he was almost grabbing his spine directly, a scary expression on his face. "The next time you do that, I'm snapping it." He announced coldly.
He chuckled.
"The fact remains the same, you don't have to worry about us, we've taken down Teigu users with our bare hands before, just like this. They never saw it coming." He explained, licking his lips as he jumped back to the other demons, finding no need to piss Okami off further.
This one was Ibara.
