55 Night Parade of One Hundred Oni Every Four Days Part 5 (1/2)

-Evening, Random clearing of the Forest-

-My POV-

​

”Yuyuko-sama! What happened?! I've been searching everywhere for you!” Youmu come closer to us.

”Youmu~, listen~ listen~” Yuyuko got up and then floated away to Youmu's side ”That boy do something cruel to me!” ordered Yuyuko as she point her folded hand fan to me.

”Hm? Did something happen between the two of you??” asked Youmu.

Now it's my turn to get up.

”Yes, he bullied me!” told Yuyuko.

”…Ha?” Youmu let out a dumbfound voice, seems like she doesn't believed what she just heard.

”Like I said, he bullied me! Youmu, teach him a lesson!” urged Yuyuko.

”W-wha…I…whaaaaa…” Youmu still doesn't know what to say with the situation she's presented with.

And here I'm, quietly standing at the side, waiting for the inevitable. I start searching the pills inside my Pouch.

”…I understand, Yuyuko-sama!!” obeyed Youmu.

'…Called it. I'm not really that tired or exhausted, but just in case.' I though while I ate both of my Vitality and Mentality Booster.

Youmu comes forward.

”I don't know what actually happen, and I truthfully want to know what happen, but since it's an order from Yuyuko-sama, it can't be helped. Arah-dono, let's have a rematch!” said Youmu as she unsheathed her Roukanken (long katana).

”I see, then it really can't be helped. For specific reason, I can't use my previous Katana, so I hope that you're satisfied with my Light Saber.” I said before I form the Light Saber with my Light Jewel.

”Yes, don't worry about it, Arah-dono! But this fight will be different from last time because I'll go all out from the start!”

Strange Half Body ”Mirrored Self”

Youmu's Half-Phantom puffing up, it spins for a full second before suddenly changed into another Youmu. Now there are two Youmu, although, the new one has an aura around her, making it separatable to the other Youmu.

”I'm counting on you, Myon.” said Youmu.

Myon, the name of Youmu's Half-Phantom, silently nod before she pulls out Hakurouken (short katana) from Youmu's waist.

”Okay, note to self, dodge everything.” I said to myself. 'I don't want to test my well being to hesitant-cutting katana.' I thought.

And our battle starts.

Myon is the first one to attack.

Since I don't want to get touched by the sword, I decided to be on the defensive and do counter attack when an opening appears.

Predicting her arm movement, slash trajectory, and predicting her target from the direction of her eyes. It's easy enough to do so with my skill set and when an opening appeared, I sneakily made the Light Saber longer to hit her.

It passes thought Myon's arm, it make her grimace and this also made Youmu grunted.

'Share pain reception because they're fundamentally one same person.' I noted. 'And speaking of Youmu, what is she doing all this time?' I curiously thought.

I glance at Youmu while fighting Myon.

She's taking a stance. Both of her hands are holding the unsheathed long sword that's stationed behind her horizontally. It's like she's waiting for something.

Myon suddenly backing off and Youmu lowered her stance posture.

My eyes go wide and I immediately jump.

Despite her personality that's easy to be manipulated, she's actually a pretty dangerous sword woman. Her techniques are resolved around instantaneous force and concentration power, which make her dangerous if left unchecked.

Human Sign ”Slash of Present World”

Youmu dashes in a straight line with extreme speed, anything that she passes through got sliced.

After I landed back on the ground, I feel a sting on my leg, I check what caused it, and I saw blood dripping from the side of my leg. 'Tch, I still got hit.' but thankfully the injury is not serious enough to keep me from standing.

I look at Youmu again, she already in her next stance, now she positioned her sword vertically, it's like she's preparing a launcher attack.

I plan to interrupt her but Myon start blocking my way to her.

'Myon will buy time while Youmu charged her special attack? Good strategy, but it also has a weakness.' I thought.

Youmu feels what Myon feels.

I switch my strategy to do full offensive, keep attacking without giving any chance of retaliation to Myon.

Cut upon cut inflicted to Myon but she's adamant with not letting me passed her, until finally I impaled Myon through the tree by growing my Light Saber length endlessly.

Myon opened her mouth as if she's screaming from pain but no sound coming out from her mouth.

I turn toward Youmu.

She already lowered her stance while gritting her teeth.

Human Oni ”Slash of the Eternal Future”

I crossed my hands, protecting my head and heart.

She done another extreme speed slash to hit, but this time her slash make me go flying in the air, when she stopped at the other side, she comes back to dash slash me again in the air, and then she kick the air to slash me again, she keep doing it three more time before I finally sense that I'm falling.

”GAHAAK!!” I crashed to the ground on my back.

It was painful experience to be juggled in real life, but I need to stand up. There are many cuts all around my body, but I endure the pain, and with great effort, I finally stand on my two feet.

I search for my opponent and I saw Youmu on the ground out of breath, Myon also besides her holding Youmu shoulder with exhausted expression.

”…Is-is that all you got?” I ask stutter.

They look surprised seeing me able to stand after what happened.

”…A-amazing, you can still stand after taking that, Arah-dono.” said Youmu with small smile.

”Of course, I don't want to lose after all.” I said as I reform my Light Saber in my hand.

”Go You-Mu! Go You-Mu! Yo-U-Mu!!” cheered Yuyuko at the side.

I look at Yuyuko for a second before going back to Youmu.

”Still want to continue?” I asked.

”Of course!” Youmu make a full blown smile while Myon do a tight lipped smile.

Youmu and Myon join their hand to hold Roukanken upward.

Hesitation-Cutting Sword ”Slash of Departure from Hesitation”

The sword glows blue, and then a stream of energy pouring out from the sword.

'…Ah, that's a mistake.' I thought.

”This is my final move!” shouted Youmu.

”…Yes, your final move.” I said unworriedly.
