Kazuki POV

I open my eyes to something familiar, Is this the shrine?

I slowly sit up and looked around,

"Oh, you're awake now"

I looked behind me to see Kaede.

Kazuki: Oh,

Kaede: Does it still hurt anywhere?

Kazuki: Huh?

I move my body around,

Kazuki: Nope, I'm all good

Kaede: I see

She says as she closed the box she's holding.

Kaede: Anyway, that was a fascinating Jutsu you did "Katana no katachi: Homura"

Kazuki: What?

Katana no Katachi? H-Homura?

Kaede: Don't tell me, you forgot how you defeated Shiina?

Kazuki: Well, I wasn't thinking straight, It's like my body became so light and easy to movement

that I lost track of what I was doing.

Kaede: What is that suppose to mean?

Kazuki: I-I don't know how to explain it but it's a different feeling

Kaede: Different meaning huh,

Kazuki: Anyway, What about the other ech-

Kaede: We won, we defeated them, except for Asin who managed to escape despite being under Ryuu's control

Kazuki: I see, What about Akari and the others? Are they okay?

Kaede: Ryuu and Haruto are currently resting. Ryuu overused his energy while Haruto was knocked down by the MEA as he was going on rampage

Kazuki: Rampage? Why?

Kaede: It doesn't matter why, what matters is that you're all safe

Kazuki: Huh?

For some reason, she was acting all weird

Kaede: Anyway, if you want to go outside, go on, I think you're fine now. My work here is done, I'll take my leave now.

She says as she left the room.

Seriously, what's with her today?

Feeling bored, I decided to go outside for some fresh air. I opened the door and left the room.

Outside, I was greeted by a bunch of MEA agents, including Yuna, who seem to be in a good mood.

She told me why and it was because another manga she loved will have an anime adaptation

Good for her, I said

She didn't stop talking until Beretta cut in and tells her that they need her for work, and so, she left.

Wow, She quite talkative when it comes to anime

Anyway, I made my way to the others, who's happily talking about this and that. They welcomed

me and offered me dinner, to which I accepted. We talked about various stuff, about how we

defeated the echelons, what happened this and that. Sooner, Haruto and Ryuu joins us by the

table. They told us what happened. Haruto also tells us about his past with Jugo, Which brought

a somewhat melancholy atmosphere to the room. But we brushed it off and continued talking.

Meanwhile, Beretta and Yuna who were watching from the shadows.

Beretta: They looks like they're having fun,

Yuna: Yeah, They should enjoy it to the fullest as the next weeks or even day will be bad

Beretta: Are you talking about the threat letter?

Yuna: Yeah, I've been thinking if that was only a fake one,

Beretta: But why would they send a fake one?

Yuna: The answer that comes to mind is that they want us to panic or something like that

Beretta: I see, but if that is real, Why? That would put that to their disadvantage. Each village including the MEA will prepare, which will make things harder for them.

Yuna: I don't think things will be harder even if the villages prepared.

Beretta: Why?

Yuna: Even if all the villages prepared, even with just one pillar, those preparations will be in vain.

Remember, it takes almost 8 villages just to defeat one pillar, but what if 8? that'll get us destroyed

Beretta: So are they mocking us with this letter?

Yuna: Most probably, Shigeo and Torino said the same thing. And when that time comes, there's a 99% chance we'll lose this battle

Beretta: So is it a sure lose?

Yuna: Of course, that percentage doesn't include Kazuki, our win rate will be raised to 10 % with him on our side,

Beretta : That's still small

Yuna: Well, I'm talking about the current him, If he got stronger and stronger, it'll eventually get bigger, of course, improvement applies to everyone.

Beretta: So training is the key?

Yuna: Yeah

Beretta: Well, you all should get back to training,

Yuna: I will, Don't worry

Beretta: Hmp,

Yuna: But before that, I'm gonna finish my anime first!!! Kiyaaa

Beretta: You never change *sigh*

Meanwhile, at the Kakurasu

Yasu: Yamata-no-orichi huh?

Mitsuro: What a mission, I'd say

Jin: sounds interesting

Master: Finding it is our priority and the other one is, ...........

The master tells them about what to do

Akashi: That'll be easy!

Master: Did MEA received the letter?

Hephtalia: That's right, Master.

Master: That's great. preparations are now complete.
