The sound of sword clashes with each other rang out loudly in the training yard of the mansion. The figure of 2 similar people, with one of them with black hair, appears to be shorter than the platinum blonde one was exchanging slash after slash followed by an after images that were created by their ability.
I surprisingly managed to master using my Fear in just a year after my old man trained me. The promised meeting with the west youkai faction will be held tomorrow in Kyoto.
Right now I am able to stand toe to toe with my old man even when I was 9 years old. It was surprising for both of us because my old man is considered one of the strongest youkai in the world. He was said to be able to stand toe in toe with Sirzechs in his full power.
Maybe it was because of a hidden bonus from the girl that reincarnated me. Until now I still didn't know anything about her, but I am sending my gratitude towards her each time something good happened to me.
Well, the reason why I was able to fight my old man is because of Youjutsu. My old man, with his unique body, can't use Youjutsu which every youkai can use, even with that limitation, he's still one of the strongest to my surprise.
I was able to use Youjutsu to enhance my body and combined with my Fear, I was able to create fake presences more than my old man. My Fear got stronger in this one year and I managed to learn how to imbue my weapon with my Fear to further increase the destructive power from my attack.
I wanted to learn a technique that was available for half-youkai in Nurarihyon no Mago, Matoi. But I didn't find anyone trustworthy yet for me to be able to leave my back to them.
"Let's stop here, Riku. The meeting is tomorrow so I think you will need some rest, right?" My old man suddenly stopped and rested his sword on his shoulder in a calm manner. "And I think it's time for me to hand my sword to you."
I had some ragged breath after the sparring session with my old man. Although I said that I was able to match him in a fight, my stamina as 9 years old is still far from him who had lived for more than hundreds of years.
But something else managed to catch my attention. "Sword?"
"Yeah, the sword that was specially tampered by a human around 300 years ago to give them a chance to fight with the supernatural. This sword was convenient, you can make it disappear and appear from thin air when you wished for it. Follow me, I will show you the sword." My old man walked to the house and I followed her from behind.
'The sword that cut supernatural. Could it be, Nenekirimaru?!' My face instantly brightened when I thought of the possibility. Nenekirimaru is a good sword, but it was almost useless when used to fight a human.
I just hoped that this sword that my old man showed me will be able to be used to hurt a human. Because the threat in this world does not only come from the supernatural but also humans. In fact, the Hero Faction of Chaos Brigade was formed by humans, although they claimed themselves as the descendant of ancient heroes.
I followed my old man while having those thoughts and I was unaware of my surrounding. When I snapped back, I was already in a storage room and saw my old man digging through the junk and finally grabbed a sword with the length of the blade around 110cm with a black handle and sheath made from plain wood without any sword guard handle.
My old man dusted it off the dust and turned to look at me with a smile on his face while he extended his hand that held the sword to give it to me. "Here take this. This sword is designed to cut the supernatural and hurt them more than it hurt humans. Although when you faced a human, this sword is no different than a regular katana although it was still better than the regular one."
I took the katana and unsheathed it. I raised the sword above my head and marveled at the beauty of its blade. I nodded in satisfaction and said to my old man.
"You gave this katana to me? Thank you, old man."
"Don't be happy for now, try to make it disappear. If you are able to do that, then you are recognized as its owner." Explained my old man as he took a blowpipe from his kimono and put it on his mouth.
I nodded at him and try to make it disappear. I sheathed it back to its scabbard and wished for it to disappear and it was gone from my hand almost instantly.
"Oh! As expected of my son!" He picked his blowpipe with his right hand and blows a cloud of smoke into the air. "Now try to make it appeared again and then I will have you to follow me. I think you might like this one." I saw the smirk that was plastered on his face and I have a bad feeling about it.
What is this? Is he going to prank me? Or will he suddenly said that he will disappear and left the east youkai to me? Whatever it is, I think his smirk contained a bad plan.
But I still followed his word and make the sword appear in my hand. After I looked at the sword and saw that nothing was wrong I make it disappear again and asked my old man.
"So, before I follow you. What is this sword's name?"
"I don't know, you can give it one if you want to." Said my old man nonchalantly as he walked past me and exited the storage room and stopped in front of the door before he looked over his shoulder and gestured me to follow him using his hand.
"Tch. Then I will name him Nenekirimaru." I clicked my tongue and followed him.
This time, he brought me to a big room where we usually welcome a guest and make me sit in seiza beside him. Well, I didn't follow his instruction and sat with my legs crossed. What I didn't expect was when I saw him, he sat on crossed legs too and smirked at me.
'Oh, this old man of mine. He really loves jokes around didn't he?'
After we waited silently for a few minutes, I heard Setsuna's voice from beyond the sliding door.
"Commander, young master. Your guest has arrived."
My old man smiled as he answered Setsuna. "Have them enter the room."
As soon as he said that, the sliding door was opened and a girl with long black hair that reached her waist entered the room. She was around my age wearing a white kimono with a blue flower pattern. She was graceful in her movement, and her blue eyes sucked my breath away.
If someone said the usual child actress is cute, then the girl that entered the room is beautiful. The girl walked and stopped in front of us and sat in a seiza position. She bowed her head and introduced herself to us.
"It is my pleasure to meet you, Commander, Young Master. My name is Tsura, Yuki Tsura. I hope we can get along in the future, Young Master."
Umm author-san, did you add the whole "Nurarihyon no Mago" timeline into this or just the character regardless of timeline
well, the history of the DxD changed because of the change that was caused by the girl who reincarnated Riku
Blowpipe : "a primitive weapon consisting of a long tube through which an arrow or dart is propelled by force of the breath."
You probably want smokepipes.
What if I'm trying to smoke blow or blow smoke? What then huh?
I know mostly Nurarihyon, as I have never seen much about DxD, my problem here is how he got so powerful like that, I don't mind when the character is more powerful than people his age or even a little older but when he is a child and not reincarnated as some kind of deity and suddenly turn as powerful as some of the strongest in the story just like that is really not good in my opinion.
Ya it wouldn't be as bad if we could read the effort/planning to get stronger but time skipping it with little prep written in makes his strength feel cheep
i liké it
Can someone explain his animosity towards his father?
Supongo que simplemente es medio bruto y ya está, como luffy y garp(?
The simplest reasoning would be that his dad is kinda a jackass? His favorite things to do are just trick people into thinking he's supposed to be somewhere, getting them to serve him food and drink and hypnotizing attractive women into massaging him. (at least in DXD) He also has been shown to enjoy f*cking with his son here including beating the sh*t out him in training. Even if ALL the DXD stuff isn't the case from the MC's own thoughts he at least believes his dad is largely abandoning his work so he can goof off and having any non-old timers(the people his son would want to interact with and form bonds with) far away from the base leaving a majority of old fogies for him to talk to which he seems to not enjoy for whatever reasoning.
very good
Got no idea about Nurarihyon and only watched anime for DxD but I'm still enjoying it so far... Confused but enjoying!
Was nararihyon no mago based on the same world as dxd? I never knew if that's the case.
