Tamashii no chaser (Debiddo Arc)

Ch.8- The Princess of The Wind! Himawari Fujin

"This was just sad. No matter how hard you may try, you won't become a chaser!" The girl says as she looks down at Debiddo with disgust. A large crowd has formed due to the commotion. "That's the princess, Why is she fighting that man?" One person whispers. "He must have tried to hurt her." Another person replies. "Well, serve that perve right! I hope they arrest that man and send him to the demon world to be eaten!" Another man replies with a look of contempt. The Musbi police force then gathered and dispersed the murmuring crowd. The girl, seeing this, gets flustered and flies to the police. "Ah, I'm sorry for the damages officer! I must learn how to control my strength!" She says with a nervous chuckle. "No, It's fine, Princess Himawari. We know it had to be a good reason for one of the Royal Fujin clan's elite to knock out a civilian." We'll take the kid into custody right now."

"Th-that isn't necessary, officer. I was showing this commoner what happens when you mess with royalty, that's all." She says with a nervous chuckle. "Alrighty then, I guess we'll just write this damage out to the Fujin estate?" The officer asks. "No, I'll cover it right now," Himawari replies as she hands over a bag full of gold. The officer, shocked, takes the money and bows as he leaves with the rest of the police squad. Himawari then gracefully lands back down to meet with Oshiro. "I apologize for his rash and impulsive attitude, mis..." Oshiro says as he bows his head slightly. "My name is Himawari, Mister. Himawari Fūjin, and you are?" Himawari asks, "My name is Oshiro Dairo, and His name is Debiddo." Oshiro responds. "Hmph, I'm glad someone has some decency and respect to speak without all this brute violence," Himawari says, fixing her hair with a gust of wind she creates. "Even though you were the one who was pretty much the violent one..." Oshiro says to himself. "This girl, she has perfect spiritual control. The difference between her and Debiddo is like night and day. "Wait, you said your name is Oshiro? As in the head of the chaser recovery division?" Himawari asks, floating towards Oshiro. "Correct," Oshiro replies. "I didn't think that was you. I heard from Father that you and the rest of your team were down at that village from the human realm taking care of a demon?" Himawari responds. "We took care of it, and now we are heading to Tencho Tower," Oshiro says as he walks towards Debiddo. Himawari looks down at an unconscious Debiddo. "You seriously going to have this loser participate in the chaser exams? Is he even an Ahito?" Himawari asks. "No, He's just a regular human from that town," Oshiro replies. "You brought a human-like him to take the chaser exams? Are you crazy?" Himawari responds. "Not at all," Oshiro retorts.

Oshiro then wakes Debiddo and places his arm over his shoulder. He then looks at Himawari and smiles, "I understand what you are saying, but even though he is just a human, and lacks spiritual control, you want to know why I chose him? It's because I see potential in him. He has a small flame in his belly that hasn't been set a-blazed yet. He will go on and be the strongest chaser we will ever see. I am willing to risk my whole career on him!" Oshiro says in a confident and victorious tone. "Mhm, I would love to see this happen," Himawari says smugly again. "Very well, I'll take you to the tower since I am going there myself." "Why do you even care? You legit don't have to be invested in anything we are doing." Debiddo replies upset, but still groggy. Oshiro then looks at him annoyingly and smacks him on the head. "Don't be rude Debiddo, Miss Himawari here is kind enough to take us to the tower, even after you challenged her to a fight, so relax," Oshiro says as Debiddo rubs his head in pain. "Now don't get it confused weakling, We just so happen to be going the same way, and I am really curious about this faith Oshiro has for you." Himawari then grabs Debiddo's shirt and says, "However, a word of caution for you weakling, The chaser world is completely different to the world you once knew, This world has a hierarchy when it comes to power." Himawari then releases Debiddo's shirt as she continues.

"Here is some information you need to know before I take you there," Himawari says as she points at a Piller standing near one of the market shops with a flag with 6 markers at its center. " Oh, great, more exposition..." Debiddo says sarcastically as Oshiro looks at him annoyed. "There are currently 6 powerful clans that live in Limbo, and in each clan, there are smaller weaker clans that live in the outer levels of Limbo. This means there will be numerous strong and very dangerous warriors who will be striving to become licensed chasers and to make a living in this world we live in. They will do whatever it takes to win a good standing in these exams, so you better get stronger and quicker. Otherwise, you are going to die there. "Wait, die?" Debiddo says as he looks at Oshiro for confirmation. "I didn't know I would die in these exams. I thought it was like a test of strength or something like that." Debiddo then looks at Oshiro with a look of realization. "Old man, what the hell! Why didn't you tell me all this?" "Well if I had told you, you probably wouldn't have come to limbo." "Oshiro says while having his hands behind his back and looking away. "Don't you look away, old man!" Debiddo says in an angry fit.
