How to raise a Russian Girlfriend!

Chapter 18: Ch. 18 - Offending a Yokai Noble!



"That's Senjutsu?" Kenshin asked Yasaka for confirmation.

In which, she nodded her head.

"Yes, anyone who masters it is a force to be reckoned with. From what I heard, Sun Wukong, hailing from the east, is known to be the strongest user of Senjutsu." Hearing the familiar name of a monkey that used to be a myth back in his original world, Kenshin was gobsmacked.

'So, those feats that was mentioned in his tale, was real?' Was the question that ran in his mind.

"Is he strong?" He asked.

"Very." Yasaka nodded her head and replied.

"In fact. I met him once, when he visited mother who recently possessed the leylines of Kyoto. I'm not sure what their meeting is about but that was the last time I saw him."

"This might be a dumb question but what does he looks like?"

"What else but a monkey?" Yasaka raised an eyebrow at such a question.

However, to her surprise, when she looked at Kenshin, he was bearing a serious face.

"I see…." He silently muttered.

Just as Yasaka was about to ask why he would ask for such a weird question, he raised his hand and pointed at a distance.

"Oh look, he's coming back here."

Turning around and seeing the Senjutsu master had just stopped his left dismembered arm from bleeding, Yasaka squinted her eyes and flared her spiritual energy.

"Stay behind me, Kenshin." Yasaka pulled Kenshin behind her with the intention of protecting him.

"You don't have to…" Kenshin mumbled.

To be honest, he was thrilled by this fight. This is the first time he was actually being pushed to his limits since he faced the Demon King back in the world of Fantazio.

Though aside from pushing himself from his limits, this fight has also brought him countless benefits.

[Strength +10]

[Magic +9]

[Agility +9]

[Durability +8]

[Constitution +11]

[Mind +6]

Starting from his fight with the low to mid-level Yokais from earlier, he was constantly being pushed to his limits and now his status has reached a past human limits.

[Name: Alistair Abara, Kuroki Kenshin

Age: 12,690, 15

Class: Hero

Titles: Evil Slayer

Strength: 30

Magic: 38

Agility: 30

Durability: 30

Constitution: 31

Mind: 26 ]

Since 30 was the limit of humanity, going beyond that is now supernatural.

In his case, Kenshin is now a supernatural being and what does it mean to be a supernatural being?

To him, that means he could finally use some of his skills and abilities that has been locked away due to his lack of stats.

Obviously, he's not supposed to get this much jump in his stats but due to an almost near-death experience earlier with the Nekomata leader's attack earlier, the increase in his stats bounced greatly!

'Not gonna lie, that Transfer spell should've put me in a deep sleep due to magic exhaustion but thanks to my magic stat being at beyond 30 along with the help of my right earring's effect that reduces the costs of my spells by 2%. I was able to maintain standing.'

"You two...Once my master hears about this, he won't let this go. He won't let your mother go scoff free!" Putting a small distance between him and them, the Nekomata swallowed the pain of losing his arm and threatened them, more specifically Yasaka.

Yasaka, hearing how the Nekomata talked about her mother, clenched her fists in anger.

"As for you human, offending a Yokai would've gotten you a free trip to death but a noble one at that? Not even your family and future generations would survive his wrath!" The Nekomata turned to Kenshin with a growl.

"Yeah, right. As if we'd let your master know about what happened here…" Kenshin, letting the cool breeze of air push his hair, replied calmly, too calm.

"What do you mean?" The Nekomata furrowed his eyebrows and asked in confusion.

Even Yasaka by his side was confused at what he said.

"What else could it mean? You're not getting away from here. You'll soon be joining your comrades over there." Kenshin pointed at the bunch of Yokai corpses that he decapitated earlier.

"You….Haha~ Hahahaha!" The Nekomata was first in disbelief before breaking out in a loud laugh.

"You. You really think you can kill me? Even with Yasaka by your side, killing me is impossible." The Nekomata's face shifted from enjoyment to pure anger.

"Don't underestimate me! If you think that just because you outsmarted me, I'm weak, then you're wrong. I'll show you my strength. Then let you eat your own words!" Previously, the Nekomata was thinking of escaping but after hearing such arrogant words coming off of a mere human, he changed his mind.

He would kill this pesky human first and then escape!

Filled with anger, the Nekomata failed to see the smirk on Kenshin's face.

'Didn't expect it to work. Prideful individuals are truly easy to manipulate.' Kenshin muttered to himself with a shake of his head.

Yasaka, on the hand, wasn't informed of Kenshin's plan and now, she prepared herself to kill the Nekomata in front of her.

'Kenshin is right. If we kill him here, that noble won't have any reason to go against mother and even if he does, I'm sure mother would prefer to take the Tokyo Leylines over his dead body.'

Doing her transformation, Yasaka once again turned into a 30-meter-tall Nine-Tailed fox.

"Eat this, you filthy human!" Coating his sharp claw with Ki, the Nekomata ignored the towering nine-tailed fox and dashed past her, a Senjutsu technique enhancing his speed.

It only took a second before his single arm claw dawned upon him, the shadow of his claw covering almost half of his face.

No doubt if this attack fell, Kenshin would find his handsome face scarred and forever becoming hideous.

His goal, which is to find a girlfriend would become 99.9% harder.

Just as the claw were a few inches away from his face, Kenshin casted a spell.

[Transfer]!

Using the same spell as earlier, Kenshin disappeared from his place and exchanged positions with the Nekomata.

Boom!

Thanks to the transfer spell, the claw struck the ground instead of Kenshin.

However, the Nekomata didn't let this hinder him, after recovering in under a second, he thrust toward Kenshin, not giving him enough space to have a breather.

Although his mind stat is the lowest as of now and he couldn't fully react to the Nekomata's speed, Kenshin's high agility allowed him to dodge just as fast and his Constitution gives him some sort of body instinct.

Combining the two, Kenshin was easily dodging all of the Nekomata leader's attacks.

"Stay put, you filthy human!" The Nekomata growled in anger as he increased the speed of his attacks, becoming a blur of shadows.

However, Kenshin, having fully experienced the power of high agility and body instincts courtesy of his previous life in the world of Fantazio, trusted it fully and let himself enter a state of flow.

A state of flow whereas he would turn off his sense of sight, sound and smell and let his body instinct control the movement of his body.

Fwoosh!

Several large gashes appeared all around him, courtesy of the Nekomata's claw striking everything except its target.

On the side, witnessing this spectacle, Yasaka was wide-eyed.

She didn't expect, of all people in the world, it would be a human that would be able to contend against a Yokai Senjutsu master.

"Stay put! Don't move!" Frustrated that he couldn't hit his target, the Nekomata yelled in anger.

"No can do." Kenshin smiled and replied while putting up a peace sign.

"Oh really? Then we'll see who will last longer! Me or you!" The Nekomata grinned and said, already seeing his victory at hand.

As a Nekomata, his stamina and energy level is obviously far beyond than the human in front of him, he could last an entire day fighting someone in hand-to-hand combat.

And this human in front of him? Sure, he's formidable but considering his pathetic race and young age, he wouldn't last as long as him.

He just need to continue his onslaught, not giving the human time to cast that troublesome spatial spell of his and he would win this battle of attrition!

"I don't need to last long. After all, unlike you, I'm not alone in this fight." Right exactly as Kenshin finished his words, a huge shadow covered the two of them.

Behind the Nekomata, Yasaka stood, towering over him with her Nine-Tailed fox form.

"Shit!" The Nekomata cursed under his breath as he realized that he had completely forgotten about Yasaka, the real threat around here!

He was too engrossed in killing the arrogant human that he became a slave to his anger, unable to think clearly unless he achieved his goal.

Yasaka went over and grabbed the Nekomata's body, who tried to free himself from her grab.

However, with just one arm remaining, his strength has greatly diminished, no longer as powerful as he used to be earlier.

"Not even your master would be able to save you." Yasaka muttered with cold indifference, she have made up her mind.

Kenshin was right. She holds her own fate. She's the one whose supposed to control what she wants, not others.

So what if her mother would be angered about this? All that matters is that everything she would do from now on, would be free of her mother's influence.

As for her father? She always viewed him as nothing but a pathetic Yokai who got lucky to be betrothed to her mother thanks to the same reason she's fighting against her mother.

Similar to her, her mother was also a victim of parental control.

Her grandparents are the reason why her mother married her father.

"Yasaka! If you kill me, you'll incite a war between your faction and my master! What would the gods think if that happens!" The Nekomata yelled in desperation, trying to reason his way out of this situation.

"War is always there. It just needed a trigger to light the fuse. In this case, let this be serve as the trigger." Yasaka replied with a cold tone before her grip on the Nekomata tightened.

"N-N-No!" Sending his impending doom, the Nekomata unleashed his full strength but to no avail, Yasaka's strength, especially in her nine-tailed fox form, is superior than his.

One single push of her strength and the Nekomata's body was squashed with her palms, putting an end to the fight.

Splash!

Watching the blood and flesh splash on the ground, Kenshin gulped his saliva out of nervousness.

Who would've thought, that such a seductive and alluring woman would possess the strength to squash someone with her palm.

Undoing her transformation, Yasaka stared at the puddle of blood on the ground and then to Kenshin.

"Are you okay?" Seeing several claw marks on Kenshin's tattered clothes, Yasaka approached him worriedly.

"Oh these? These are from those guys earlier. It's okay, it doesn't hurt that much." Kenshin, bursting in manly pride, puffed his chest and acted nonchalant about his injuries, acting as if it doesn't affect him one bit.

Though mentally, he was gritting his teeth in pain. Some claw marks, are deeper than what they should be and he wanted to cast a healing spell as soon as possible.

'So much for a pain reduction item.' He scoffed at the weak artifacts he wears in his body.

"Here, let me help." Approaching Kenshin, Yasaka's palms hovered over his injuries and he watched as his wounds closed as fast as a single blink of an eye.

"Wow." He muttered under his breath, raising his arms to take a closer look over his healthy arms.

"You're amazing Yasaka!" Kenshin expressed his gratitude to the woman by hugging her.

"I-It's okay, Kenshin!" Yasaka quickly blushed and tried to shrug his compliment off.

However, she couldn't help but be proud of herself.

Even though her healing capabilities aren't as strong as the true healers back in Kyoto, but since it made Kenshin happy, then everything is worth it.

***

"No reports yet? What's taking him so long?" Pacing back and forth in his office, a blue-haired man with a long gown-like tail behind him, gritted his teeth after receiving no reports from the subordinates he sent after Yasaka.

He's the Yokai Noble that wass supposed to marry the nine-tailed fox.

As a peacock Yokai, his species are known for the three R's, which consists of regal, royal, and rich.

He's one of the richest Yokais in Japan. His main businesses being centered around Tokyo.

However, no matter how much money he makes, his greed has always been way beyond that.

He wanted to become a true royalty. The Kings and Queens of the Yokais, titles that can only be held by Nine-Tailed fox Yokais.

That's why when he discovered the Leyline of Tokyo that he spent billions chasing after, he wanted to use it to marry off to the Nine-Tailed Fox royalty.

However, his supposed bridal, turned out to be more troublesome that he thought. Constantly refusing all of his advances and flirtations.

"This won't do. If she's not back within an hour…..I might have to use the leylines of Tokyo myself." He whispered under his breath, a dangerous glint passing through his eyes.
