I thought with a cheerful smile and my hands behind my head in a carefree manner. This time I wasn't suppressing the changes that came from Yato class and instead accepted them.

I killed a few Danger Beasts on my way, mostly only the strongest ones I could find while ignoring others.

Upon arriving on our meeting point that was located on the edge of the forest and near the steep hill, I couldn't sense anyone else so I decided to climb up a tree to rest for a bit while hiding my own presence
After an hour of lying on the branch, I noticed numerous people approach the meeting point, they had white clothes resembling kimonos together with a forehead protector and some kind of symbol written on it.
They didn't notice me so they started talking with a carefree mood.
”Who do you think we will be meeting here?” One of them asked.
”Dunno, most likely other mercenaries like us, I just hope it won't be anyone that we have a bad relationship with. I also hope they won't be some weaklings.” His colleague answered with a bored expression.
I kept on listening to them with a small smile and closed eyes.

After another half an hour, I sensed 3 more people approach.
”Oh? So you 3 are the ones who will be working with us? I hope you are well, as they say, women.” The leader of those mercenaries immediately approached 3 of them.
I opened my left eye to look at them and saw Babara standing in front of Taeko and another woman I don't know.
”Maybe they are women who ȧssassinate in bed, haha” One man behind the leader said aloud while laughing aloud in a carefree way.
What an idiot. They aren't even that strong yet they act so arrogantly.
I couldn't help but think while shaking my head in disappointment.
”That could be it but who is this granny?” The leader nodded with a smile and leaned forward to inspect Babara from up close.
Pfft.
I had a problem holding my laugher in, I was only waiting for her reaction and then their reaction, that is if they will survive and discover who she is.
”Oh? I am not your usual granny. You may call me Babara, nice to meet you!” She said in a sarcastic tone with a wide smile, showing off her teeth.
”?! B-Babara? That Babara Oarburgh?!” The leader immediately backed away a few steps.
”Yes, do I have to kill someone to prove it?” Babara said with a smile and released her bloodlust.
Heh, good bloodlust.
I couldn't help but praise the density of her aura with an appreciative nod and small smile.
”N-No, we believe you. We apologize for disrespecting you and your companions earlier.” The leader immediately apologized with a fear visible in his eyes.
”Fine...The one standing behind me on the right side is Taeko who was raised by us since she was a baby, I advise you not to provoke her.” Babara introduced Taeko to them who was looking around as if she was looking for something or someone.
”And I am granny's apprentice, Chelsea~! Nice to meet you.” The other girl named Chelsea raised her hand with a cheerful expression.
”I guess it's my turn to introduce myself. My name is Katsura, nice to meet you!” I sat up on the branch and said while I stopped hiding my presence.
When the mercenaries heard a cheerful voice resound so close to them, they all snapped their heads at me with horrified expressions.

'How long has he been there?!! Who the fuċk is this guy?! Is he together with them? And why is his face bandaged so creepily?!' The leader thought while looking at me sitting on the branch while waving at them with a smile.
---
”Looks like you were here much earlier than us. Glad to see you here.” Babara looked at me with a grin.
She was able to sense me, huh? She is really good, hehe.
---
'Katsura...so that's the guy instructor and Taeko talked about...He looks a bit creepy with those bandages but it doesn't look like he is injured or has any scars...probably just disguise. His hair is also changed but I am able to see through it only because I am a master of disguising with my Teigu.' Chelsea thought while attentively looking at Katsura (Akashi) sitting on the branch. And although she was able to see through his disguise, she was unable to tell how his original hair looks like.

”I always keep my word, granny. Yo, Taeko!” I replied to Babara with a teasing tone while saying ”granny” and then turned my attention at Taeko who was looking at me with a satisfied smile and then I waved at her.
