The Tale Of Kitsuna

Chapter 151: Unexpected Company

While walking through the mansion to the front door, I noticed that there was absolutely no one in the halls. Their mom told them to hide, or they were hiding out of fear.

The reason why I don’t think they will fight is, well, because the Kunis’ are their masters. Not the hell will they sacrifice themselves for those dumb dwarfs.

“Cough, what the fuck is that,” I said, smelling the most disgusting thing I have ever smelt in both lives.

“Did someone shit themselves?” I said, looking around. Narrowing my eyes, I notice a barely visible black smoke reminding me of something I saw a day ago.

Following the black smoke for a few minutes, I came to the mansion’s front door.

“Sigh, to think demonic mana will have such a foul smell,” I said disgustingly while holding my nose though it didn’t help.

‘Sigh, why can I smell the mana all of a sudden? I could never before smell it.’ I thought, trying to figure out where the smell was actually coming from.

Looking to my left, I saw a few of Nekro’s living corpses fighting a devil lover. I saw chinada cut off a few heads in seconds on the right.

.....

Looking to the front, I saw mom standing on a clock tower in the distance.

“I guess the devil mana is not very close by,” I muttered before disappearing.

“You joined me as well?” Mom said, looking at me, appearing next to her on the clock tower in the middle of the city.

“Yeah, I started smelling devil mana,” I said casually, looking over the city.

“... Is that even possible?” Mom said, bewildered.

“It shouldn’t be,” I said, shrugging.

“So they are drawing you out?” Mom asked, tilting her head.

“That or they are planning something big again,” I said, narrowing my eyes at the black smoke I saw in the distance.

“Sigh, how problematic.” Mom said, sighing in annoyance.

“Agree... do you think the Demon Kingdom is behind the cult,” I asked, looking at her.

“Nah, this cult must have come from the federation.” Mom said without any hesitation.

“... Then do you think the Angels is part,” I said, confused at her answer.

“No, they might come from the same country, but they will never see eye to eye.” Mom said, shaking her head.

“I guess that makes sense. Ugh, I found the source.” I said, sighing before getting a headache from one of the clones I sent out.

“You okay?” Mom asked worriedly.

“Yeah, they burned my clone,” I explained, looking to the city’s southeast.

“I will follow behind.” Mom said, tapping my shoulder.

“Use me as bait like usual, okay,” I said sarcastically, walking to the edge of the clock tower.

“Tsk, I hate doing that, you know.” Mom said, annoyed.

“I know, mom, I am just pulling your leg. Anyway, I am not even close to being strong enough to fight these guys,” I said, nodding at mom before disappearing again.

“Tsk,”

Running on the roofs towards the southeast, I saw how the black smoke got thicker and thicker.

“Ah!?” Jumping up, I narrowly dodged a giant black arm coming out of the roof.

“hehe, you dodge, you dodge, hehe.” A crazed voice said, poking his head out of the roof.

“The fuck is that!” I yelled, looking at the monstrous black humanoid.

“Hehe-ugh.” Looking at me confused, the thing wondered why I was upside down before he could even figure that out. Mom’s foot came down on its decapitated head, crushing it into black blood.

“Mom, have you ever seen- I guess you have.” I started asking before noting her facial expression.

“Where is the place you were going to?” Mom asked seriously.

“It’s another 4 blocks straight that way,” I explained, pointing in the right direction.

“Okay, go back to the mansion call Kayda and tell her what we saw.”? Mom said with no leeway in her voice.

“...”

“Don’t.”

“I wasn’t going to debate, but what are they?” I asked, looking at the black blood.

“They are something you call a human devil child.” Mom explained briefly.

“huh?”

“sigh, they are born from a human and a devil.” Mom said, hassling me to lea

“like a normal pregnancy and everything?” I asked with a raised eyebrow.

“yeah.” Mom said, emotionless.

“Ugh, disgusting,” I said with a disgusted expression.

“Now go! Oh, destroy their heads if you see any.” Mom said, nodding at me.

“The only way to kill them got it,” I said, nodding back before running back to the mansion.

“Be careful,” Mom muttered before disappearing from all my senses.

“Of course,” I said, running back to the mansion.

[10 min later]

“Haah, Kayda we got a problem.” I said, smashing the window to the drawing room where we were before.

“Huh, why are you back?” Kayda said, sitting on a chair with one of the high dwarfs bent over her legs with one hand aimed at the kids’ butt that was already red as blood.

“... You doing parenting?” I said, baffled.

“Well, they won’t do it,” Kayda said, shrugging and looking at the tied-up parents.

“Anyways, we got a problem,” I said, dropping down from the window sill.

“Yeah, what is it.”

“This,” I said, dropping one of the monstrous heads on the table.

Thud.

“You should destroy those heads before they infect you,” Kayda said, throwing a scorching ball at them, head-turning it to ash.

“Yeah, mom said I should but didn’t say why? I also just found it outside the mansion grounds.” I explained, adding the last part and muttering.

“They duplicate,” Kayda said with an emotionless face.

“Ah, I see, so all of them are actually from one source,” I said with a thoughtful expression and a bit worried.

“Most probably. Anyways let me go help Stacy before things get out of hand.” Kayda said, kissing my cheek.

“Okay, what should I do,” I asked, looking at her.

“Nothing, just look after these dumbasses,” Kayda said, gesturing to the Kunis’ on the ground.

“Alright, but you guys got to explain to me what exactly this stuff is,” I said, nodding.

“There isn’t much more to say about them other than they are devils and multiply but cutting off their heads. To kill destroy the heads.” Kayda said, leaving the room through the broken window.

“Hey, can you let us loose now?” One of the Kunis asked, looking at me desperately.

“No, I am only here to supervise you guys,” I said, sitting on the couch and looking at them, crossing my legs.

“But...”

“how much do you know about the devil cult,” I asked, not wanting to hear anything from them.

“t-the what?” The Kuni head asked, genuinely confused.

“you know the devil cult,” I said again, narrowing my eyes at him.

“never heard of them.” He said, shaking his head.

“you didn’t?” I said, genuinely confused at how this guy was ahead of the house.

“Yeah, we haven’t had any problems in my terror since the war years ago.” The Dwarfs said with way too much confidence.

“hmm, I guess that’s why everyone is running around like chickens without heads,” I muttered in disappointment.

“W-what?”

.....

“Talking to myself,” I said, waving him off to shut up.

“... Right.” He said, dropping his head down.

“You two. Do you have any broken bones?” I asked, looking them over for any serious injuries.

“Heh, so you can torture us more.” The male high Dwarf glared at me. Though his glare didn’t do anything, he was still loving his butt around, looking for a sport to sit on comfortably.

“Haha, yeah, try that again when your butt isn’t on fire,” I said, laughing. Looking at his sister, I saw she had been sobbing silently on the side.

‘Well, they deserve this.’ I thought. I was walking up to her. Crouching down next to her, I put my hand on her head, making her flinch away.

“Hey,? don’t don’t move,” I said, making her look at me with fear.

“Please stop.”

“No,” I said, putting my hand on her head again, starting to heal her.

“huh?” She muttered in confusion, looking at me again.

“I just fucking asked if you needed.”

“what? Heal me too, then.” Her brother yelled, getting up on to his knees.

“you just said- shut up, we have company,” I said, hearing multiple loud footsteps coming from the hall.

‘I guess I can try out my devil rock bullets.’ I thought, creating my hand cannon.
