57 Night Parade of One Hundred Oni Every Four Days Part Final (2/2)

She picked up The Boulder, and it became bigger in her hand.

”…That's not even a boulder anymore.”

The boulder keeps getting bigger until it became a mountain sized.

”Rather than called it mountain sized, I would rather called it The World.”

She wears her ferocious smile and tosses the world at me.

Of course, dodging it normally is impossible, so I choose to do what I normally did.

I Teleport myself behind Suika's back.

I swing my sword to her but she turned into a mist before my sword made any contact with her.

”…Is everyone has eyes at the back of their head now? It's twice in a row that my back attack didn't work.” I complained.

Several meter away from me, the Mist immediately reformed back into Suika.

”You and Yukari are the same! Both of you use tricks against me! Fight me head on!! ”Suika also complained.

”I refuse. Direct confrontation with you is basically a suicide, and I'm not an idiot to do so.” I replied.

”Grrr, coward.” she grumbled.

'Aside from dishonesty and cowardice, Oni also hated trickery. Based on what I read, this hatred are comes from their straight forwardness of their personality.' I thought.

Spectre –Sparse–

She took out strands of hairs from her own and then throws it into the air. The hairs immediately transformed into a mini Suika.

”Catch him!” ordered Suika to her minis.

”Catch!” ”Catch!” ”Catch!” ”Catch!” ”Catch!” All of the Mini Suika drones in to my position.

”Useless.” I slash them all effortlessly.

But unexpectedly, a chain comes in out of nowhere wrapped around my arm.

”Got you!” said Suika as she grip the other end of the chain.

”Tch.” I clicked my tongue.

She tried to pull me in, but I held on once again with Vector Change.

”Resistant is useless!”

Drunk God ”Art of Oni Binding”

The chain glows blue and I feel my power disappeared for moment, with this window of opportunity, Suika is successfully pulls me in. Now I'm in the air and Suika already ready to greet me with her fist.

I change my body trajectory using Vector Change. This caused her punch only hit the air.

*POW*

The air exploded.

'…Okay, I don't need to repeat myself but just in case, dodge her melee.' I warned myself.

I landed away from her and undid the chain. I plan to strike Suika when there's a chance but Suika already running toward me.

”Disappeared!” she throws her punch.

I easily dodge her telegraphic punch.

*POW* the air exploded once again.

She throws another punch, but I dodge that one too.

*POW*

”Stop-”

*POW*

”-moving-”

*POW*

”-around! ”

She raised both of her hands, 'A slam.' I predict what she's about to do and jump away from her.

*BAM* she slams the ground and the ”ground” shook.

Because I perfectly timed my jumped with her ground slam, her attack doesn't affect me and when I landed, I immediately did a thrust attack.

I hit her shoulder, but my thrust didn't cut through her shoulder like I expected.

'Hard.' I thought.

I immediately pull away from her as she tried to grab me.

Will-o'-Wisp ”Super dense Phosphorus Disaster Art”

Bleeding from her shoulder, she gathered heats with both of her hands and form them into a super big fire ball.

”Burn to ash!” said Suika, but when she's about to throw the fire ball I teleported behind her.

I slash at her back before taking distance once again.

”Argh!!” scream Suika and the fire ball disperse everywhere.

I shield myself from the fire and opt to observe the situation.

With bleeding from her back and shoulder, she looks at me with fury.

”Enough! This is the end of your trickery!”

Kishin ”Missing Purple Power”

Suika's body slowly getting bigger and bigger until her height towering over mine, and she also giving out some kind of pressure to her surrounding.

”No more running!” the air vibrated when she talks.

She brings her hands forward and created another black hole.

I hold my ground, but it seems like the suction power is higher than before, and also, its power are increasing faster.

I fired another lightning at her face, but she block her face with her other arm.

'…This is bad. I gotta do something or I'm dead.' I thought.

But as if she's reading my mind, she starts moving while still activating her black hole toward me.

'It'll be the same situation even if I teleport to another place, I need another plan.' I thought.

It's a fight against time. I need to think of a new plan before she arrived to my position.

When Suika already near me, I could feel the pressure she's expelling, it's suffocating and heavy.

And then she finally arrived in front of me. I feel like an ant staring at an elephant.

”This is the end.” her other hand start reaching toward me.

'NOW!' with all of my strength and Vector Change, I jump pass her hand and straight to her face.

I stab my sword in between her eyes, and I immediately pour all of my mana into the sword.

Lightning pouring out from the sword, they shocked both of us.

”AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!” Suika screamed as she trashed to get me off of her.

”HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!” I also screamed as I keep holding the sword to stay in its place with all of my might.

I don't know how much time passed but by the time I'm fully awake, I already staring at the starry sky.

My whole body hurt so I slowly pull out the health pill from my pouch.

A moment after I ate it, I slowly get up and observe my surrounding.

The first thing I noticed is the huge moon. It's still shining brightly. It's as if its destruction just now was a lie.

'Ah, I heard this, she only destroy the 'image' of the moon, not the actual moon.' I thought.

I search some more, and I found Suika lying down on the ground, she become normal sized again and she's still alive based on the up-and-down of her chest, as for my sword, Doujigiri Yasutsuna, it continuously sparkling on the ground near her.

I slowly walk to my sword to pick it up, after I did so, I go to where Suika is.

I see her face as I'm approaching her, her eyes are closed while blood trickling down from the injury between her eyes.

After I arrived next to her, I just stand there, not saying any word while staring at her face.

There's just silent (I flick the sword to stop sparking). Me, her, and the shining moon.

After a while, the first one who broke the silent is me.

I put the sword back to its sheet and then proceed to sit down next to her.

Suika opened one of her eye to look at me.

I grab her sake gourd, the Ibuki Gourd, a gourd that could produce infinite amount of water, with dousing it with the extract of Sake Bug, now the gourd only produce infinite amount of Sake.

I uncorked it, and drink directly from it.

One gulp.

Two gulp.

I parted away.

”AAAARRRGGHHH, that totally burned my throat.” I grunted before I offer the gourd to Suika. ”I'm here not to kill anybody. I'm here to end the incident, so no hard feeling right?” I asked her.

Her expression is in a look of surprise, and then changed into amused one.

She got up and took the gourd to drink from it.

One gulp.

Two gulp.

Three gulp.

Four gulp.

…

”Puahah~,” she looks satisfied after many gulps. She's smiling at me. ”You're an interesting one, you opted to keep me alive even though I want to kill you in that fight. Tell me, what will you do if I still decided to fight you again in the future?”

”It's simple. I'll just have to win again like today.”

”Hoooh~, what a declaration. What happened if my other friends come to challenge you too?”

”F-friends?” I stutter.

”Yeah, in the past, we were challenged by someone who wielded your sword, at that time we were young and reckless, we accept it without caution whatsoever, and in the end, we barely got out with our live, some of us even lucky to be alive.” said Suika reminiscing her past.

”Lucky to be alive? Did she get her arm chopped off?” I guessed.

”…Are you sure you're not the wielder at that time?” her eyes turn into slit once again.

”No, no, no, no, I'm just guessing because I read about it in a book.” I hurriedly denied by shaking my head rapidly.

”Hmph,” her eyes back to normal. ”Yeah, her name is Ibaraki Kasen, based on her personality, she probably got scared when she saw your sword once again, but not for Yuugi, she's the

opposite, she's the most eager one to have a rematch.”

”…Yuugi? Is her full name perhaps 'Hoshiguma Yuugi'?” I asked.

”Yup.” she confirmed my suspicion before drinking from her gourd once again.

”…”

I start worrying for my future. 'Hoshiguma Yuugi? She's already in the Underground. All she needs to do is just walk up from there to Gensokyo. Don't tell me tomorrow she'll climb up to meet me?' I start really worried about my future.

While we both doing our thing, we heard another voice in the area.

I search for the source, and I easily found it.

It's Reimu and Marisa.

”Woah, what is this place-ze?”

”Forget about the place, we need to end this incident fast, my private sake bottle will be empty if we keep doing the feast.”

'Ah, same old Reimu.' I thought.

”Hm, isn't that?” said Reimu.

Looks like they found us.

”Arah and unknown individual-ze. You two must be culprit behind this incident right?!” accused Marisa.

”No, it's her.” I point at Suika.

”Yup, it's me!” Suika raised her hand cheerily.

I look at Suika's face. She's back being drunk again.

”Doesn't matter, I'll teach each one of you a lesson.” said Reimu.

”Hou, hou, a fight is it? I'll gladly take you weakling on.” said Suika energetically, even thought she just lose against me. Oni is scary, indeed.

”Don't forget about me-ze!” said Marisa.

And the firework started.

”Well, at least I didn't get dragged into their fight.” I said.

…

…Welp, I spoke too soon. I'm currently falling inside a gap, a Yukari's gap mind you, there are lots of eyes inside here, but since I already fought with Suika and Yukari, I'm not scared at anything

anymore.

…

I wonder where will she send me? She's not sending me directly to the Underground right?

And I finally out from the gap and landed hard on the ground.

”..My butt, my poor butt.” I endure the pain, for the note, I'm falling while in sitting position.

I look around, and I feel glad because she sent me back to in front of my house.

The door opened and Bara figured can be seen from there. She probably came to check out the loud noise that happened in front of the house.

”Master? Master!!” She's surprised.

”I'm home, Bara.” I greeted her.

”MASTER!!” and we both hugged each other happily.

And with this, the Strange Mist incident finally comes to a close.
