Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: guest room

"No, don't worry about that. " I said as I laugh a little.

And without further ado we made our way to the home of the Nurarihyon clan.

"Nice place" I said as I take in the huge Japanese style mansion in front of me.

"I Nurarihyon, leader of the east yokai Faction welcomes you to our headquarter. "

"Thank you" I bowed.

"Supreme Commander, welcome back" said a yokai with what looks like sickles on his back.

"And it seems we have a guest, hello I'm Retsuza and welcome to our home. " he continued.

"Hello to you too, you can call me Savion" I introduced as well.

"He wants training so he'll be staying with us for a while. "

Huh, I guess the card Sirzechs gave me for the hotels is now practically useless.

"I see, come with me, let me show you the way to the guest room. "

"Thank you, I appreciate it"

.

"This place is beautiful" I said to Nurarihyon who was sitting on the opposite of me as we drink tea.

"I know, so when are we starting this training of yours and what exactly do you want to be trained in?"

"I guess, the first step is to unlock touki and learn how to use it"

"Touki eh. .

. " he said with amused expression that I did not like.

"That can be easily done, but I'll have to call in Magari, and if everything goes well we can start training the day after tomorrow" he said with a grin.

If I'm not mistaken Magari is a nekomata so how. .

.

"Is this Magari person going to be the one to train me?" I decided to ask

"No no, as powerful as she is she won't be the one training you. I will personally see through your training along with one more person.

"

Now I'm kinda worried.

"Then why is she needed?"

"To heal you when needed of course. She is one of our best when it comes to medical Senjutsu" he said with a smirk.

Shit, I can already feel the pain and aches I'm going to have to endure.

Sigh

"Speaking of Senjutsu, I heard it was impossible for non yokai to learn it, is it true?"

"No"

"NO?! So it's actually possible?!!" I asked in surprised.

"Indeed it is possible. Why, interested?"

"I would be lying if I said I wasn't. It was something I always wanted to try and learn ever since I heard about it.

But I heard that it was entirely impossible to learn it unless you're a yokai"

"It's not entirely impossible, touki is a form of Senjutsu as well. The reason why many believe to be impossible is the corruption that could happen"

If I'm not wrong, Senjutsu has a fatal flaw, as while it lets the user read and handle spirit power, it could also take in the malice and ill will that flows in the world, potentially corrupting the user.

"Unless, you're a yokai all you get is one chance. If corruption happened on the very first attempt to learn it and somehow the user manage to remain sane, its completely impossible to do and learn it again, cause it will always end up trying to corrupt the user again"

he continue explaining.

[A/N: man, it's just amazing just how much BS I can write]

So, all I have is one chance.

"Do anyone of you know a way to stop the corruption if it were to happen?"

"Of course we do"

"Good, add Senjutsu after I'm done with Touki"

"Haha, I like you kid, this is going to be fun" he said jovially.

. .

.

I might have I just made a huge mistake asking for a training but all I can do now is to just accept it and suck it up.

sigh "I'm so~ going to regret this aren't I?"

"Absolutely!" he replied cheerfully.

"I asked for it, might as well see through with it" I sigh out.

"That's the spirit, now on to the other thing that you want. "

"Hmm?"

"I will give you five locations around the Kanto region where, independent and wandering Yokai currently lived. I know a lot more but I believe you have the highest chance of succeeding with these fives.

" he said as he pass me a paper scroll, that's cool.

"Thank you so much" I said sincerely.

I open the scroll and check the content.

. .

.

"Hmm, you said training starts the day after tomorrow right?"

"I did, why are you-- Oh, I see, you better rest well, you're probably going to need it. Dinner will be brought to you, just keep it outside the door after you're done.

" he said as he walks out the room.

.

I'm currently on my way to one of the five

location Nurarihyon gave me.

Its an abandon shrine where according to him, a wandering female Oni took up residence.

"This seems like the place" I muttered.

"HELLO, anyone here?" I called out from just outside the shrine.

. .

.

A few moments later.

A female oni with two horns, blood red eyes, white hair with red tips, clad in a mostly red and black battle kimono slowly walks out. She has two swords strap to her back and a mask on the side of her head.

"Greetings, young devil! I am Nakiri Ayame!"
