NOVEL WEB 36. Aftermath and Cooperation.
>>>>>
After making sure none of her enemies are left alive, Sakuya quickly floats back to the top Kouten to report that his order is complete. Although, when she got back, she found that her new master currently enjoying a lap pillow on a woman's thighs.
"Master, I have complete the order you have given to me" Sakuya reported, ignoring the situation her master is currently in.
...!!!
Kaito who didn't expect Sakuya to come back so quickly leaves Miya's lap to maintain his dignity in front of Sakuya, but in Sakuya perception, her master identity as a pervert is already established.
"Did I interrupt something, master?"
"Uh, no. It is okay." Kaito calm himself and then asked, "Are you alright, Sakuya? Did you find any trouble?"
"There is no trouble and I am fine. Thanks for your concern, master."
It seems Kaito wasn't as bad as Sakuya thought. Sakuya was sure Kaito know what she could do but he still asked regardless. Actually, Kaito and Miya could hear what she did on top of Kouten but decided to didn't say anything, those scream of despair from enemies is fuel for a nightmare after all.
"Hahh..."
Realizing that everything finally ended, Kaito let out a breath of relief and broke into a smile. Kaito really put a lot of effort to complete the task smoothly, and while there are some trouble along the way, he managed to break the situation and ended everything well.
Almost everything ends well too, such as Miya becoming his Ashikabi, Cooperation with M.B.I, Uzume Ashikabi being saved and Itachi even getting himself a woman in this world. This ending of the story is much better than the original, which made Kaito feel satisfied with his golden finger.
'Now I think about it, I have promised Uzume-san to cure her Ashikabi' Kaito thought.
Kaito suddenly remembers his promise to Uzume and quickly opens the chat group interface to see how many points he got left. He thought there were still enough points for him to upgrade the chat group, his privilege, and invited Kazehana and Miya to the chat group, but the moment he saw his point amount left... Kaito wanted to cry in despair.
=====
[Points Amount: 28510]
=====
Kaito who begin to deny reality tried to rub his eyes in case he saw it wrong but no matter what, the number doesn't change. He was sure that while he use the points a lot, it was not to the point where he lost out 20000 points out of nowhere.
'System, give me an explanation of where all my points go!'
*DING*
=====
[Explanation need 500 points deduced, proceed?]
'Even for the simple explanation you still asked for points? damn it, just do it!'
*DING*
=====
[500 points deduced]

...
Looking at the detail provided by the system, Kaito fell down on his knee and yelled, "I am super unlucky!"
Kaito can't blame anyone but himself, as he didn't ask the system about the cost of repairing both of his arms before executing his plan. Well, considering the situation at that time, it's not like Kaito got time to ask about it even if he know... so the conclusion is he is just being unlucky as always.
"What happened, Kaito-san?" Miya who stood beside him asked in concern.
"Master, do you have new order?"
Sakuya also looked at her master with curiosity, wondering what just happen.
Realizing that his act was being watched by Miya and Sakuya, Kaito quickly calms himself. He stood up and put on a fake smile, "Don't worry, I am okay."
"Well... If you say so..."
"Please ask if you need me to do something, master."
Both Miya and Sakuya doubted Kaito's reply to them just now, but they also know it was no use to press him about it. Because of the memory, they are aware Kaito like to act strong in front of his friend so Kaito must hide something from them.
"For now... Miya-san."
"Yes, my ashikabi?"
"Can you call Minaka for me? I wanted to meet him now."
Miya shook her head and answered, "I didn't bring my phone with me, Kaito-san."
"Is that so..."
While checking how many points he got left, Kaito did not forget to check the status of the group task. Apparently, every task is marked with 'completed' except the second optional task. What it does mean is, The Jinki is still in Minaka's hand and Itachi didn't get hold of it yet.
Well, considering their proposal... Kaito still needs to meet Minaka soon to ask about their cooperation, so he might as well ask the Jinki from him on it.
...
"Ah, I guess I am just going to meet him alone in M.B.I headquarter" Kaito stated, then he begin to spread his devil wing.
"Alone?" Miya muttered in confusion.
"There is no need for everyone to follow me there." Kaito shrugged.
"I will not leave you, master." Sakuya insisted.
Kaito know that nothing can he could be done if Sakuya wanted to follow him, so he quickly agree "Well, Sakuya can follow me but Miya..." He turned at her and continue said, "You still need to back to Izumo Inn in order to apologize to everyone involved in the Sekirei plan."
...!!
"Ah... Yeah..."
Miya quickly understands what Kaito means, and looked down as she is scared about everyone's reaction. As the mastermind behind the Sekirei plan, Miya is aware of how much mess and trouble she just causes to everyone in this city.
Kaito who could tell what Miya currently think tried to reassure her by saying, "It will be okay."
Miya looked up at Kaito and muttered, "Do you think they will be mad at me?"
"They won't. Please trust me."
"Alright, then. Sooner or later I need to face them." Miya's face then lightened up as she smiled at Kaito, "Besides, I can't refuse my Ashikabi request, didn't I?"
Kaito knows that Miya will be fine and everyone probably understands her circumstances. Unlike the original, the casualty for everyone was reduced to a minimum so there is no strong reason to hate Sekirei's plan. For example, Mikogami doesn't lose any of his Sekirei and Uzume didn't sacrifice herself either unlike what happened in the original storyline.
"I will be back soon."
Kaito turned around, as he prepared to take a flight from here. Sakuya also stood behind him, floating. Well, for Gensokyo residents flying is a necessity for them so it's no surprise that Sakuya was able to do the same.
"Last question... How about Kouten, Kaito-san?"
Hearing Miya's question, Kaito who has thought about this issue earlier quickly responded, "Keep this floating for now. I will have to take this into chat group base world later."
"Alright."
...
After Kaito quickly fly away followed by Sakuya toward Teito tower, where M.B.I headquarter is located. Meanwhile, Miya also jumps down to the city, leaving Kouten floating on its own and then running straight to Izumo Inn... Knowing everyone would come back there very soon.
She thought that the best way to apologize is to prepare food for them, as she believe everyone must be tired after fighting all day.
>>>>>
After flying for a while with Sakuya, Kaito finally arrived at the top of M.B.I's headquarters. Surprisingly, Minaka seems already waiting for his arrival on the roof with Takami, as they are cooking a BBQ on the rooftop.
Takami who noticed Kaito and Sakuya stop her cooking and said, "Minaka! Someone is flying toward us! No, there is two people!"
Minaka take a peek at the sky, noticing it was Kaito who came at them, Minaka excitedly yelled, "Ah, here it is. Our new business partner!"
...!!!
Kaito who hear Minaka's enthusiastic response just smiled awkwardly and then land in front of him. Kaito then offered his hand for a handshake, which Minaka received immediately, "Welcome to M.B.I, alien kid."
Ignoring Minaka's nickname given to him, Kaito quickly replied, "I am here to talk more about our cooperation in detail."
"Chill down, you are the hero of today you know?" Minaka take one of the BBQs from the grill and offered it to Kaito, "Here is the BBQ for you."
Kaito nod and take it from Minaka since he actually feels hungry after fighting all day.
*Nom*
To be honest, he was confused about why Minaka wanted to do BBQ on the top of the company building, but he won't question it since he is a madman anyway. Besides, the BBQ unexpectedly tastes good and he wants to have more.
"Did this lady also want one?" Minaka offered BBQ to Sakuya who stood behind Kaito but she politely rejected it, "No thank you."
"Oh well..." Minaka shrugged and then eat it on his own.
...
After tasting some more and feeling satisfied, Kaito said to Minaka "Before that Minaka, can you give me the Jinki?"
"Sure." Minaka nodded but then he give Kaito a grin, "But tell me the reason because I am curious."
"It was one of the items that we need to bring out when we come to this world" Kaito answered without blinking an eye. Technically, it wasn't a lie since Jinki is one of their optional task objectives.
Getting an unsatisfying answer from Kaito, Minaka rolled his eyes and said, "Welp, If you refuse to say it, what I can do anyway?" He then takes the suitcase near him and gives it to Kaito, "All the Jinki is in here, take it."
The moment he took it from Minaka, a familiar sound could be heard which make Kaito feel satisfied.
*DING*
=====
[The second optional task: Collect at least 4 Jinki before completing the main task is completed!]
[All the available group task is completed!]
[The Owner can submit the clearance evaluation and issue the reward anytime!]
[Every member of the chat group can come back to their own respective world anytime they want!]
=====
Looking at the chat group interface, it seems all the tasks were finally completed, and they seem able to come back now. This is good news for Itachi who has been missing from his world for a while, considering his circumstance that would make a lot of trouble if he missing for too long.
Well, Kaito will issue the reward after the talk with Minaka is complete, considering he might as well upgrade the chat group at the same time later.
"Alright, since the Jinki is in my hand. Let's talk." Kaito stated.
"Okay. Follow me to the inside of the building. I will show you what M.B.I is capable of."
Minaka quickly lead the way, followed by Kaito and Sakuya from behind. Takami on the other hand just leaves them to-be, believe Minaka doesn't need help anyway.
...
After that, both Kaito and Minaka talked about cooperation between M.B.I and himself in detail. In the end, the result of their talk is to allow M.B.I to build their own special area to govern and analyze all technology coming from all over the world, as long Minaka also helps the whenever they need help.
Minaka also asked for him to be added to the chat group, but Kaito refused knowing nothing good added him inside.
Kaito is not stupid to add a madman inside a chat group. Beside, it would cost him a lot of points that he desperately needs now.
