Chap. 33: Punishment From Oita-san

The attack on one of the malls in Kyoto city spread quickly. The TV news show aired a live broadcast from the scene. Many people think this is part of a ter0ris attack, some think this is the behavior of idiots.

But the thing that says this is the act of a prankster is just a fool, the problem is what kind of prankster dares to blow up the mall.

There are also many police who come and stand guard around the mall area. Police lines cross in front of the main door of the mall which makes the entire mall activity stop completely.

The reporters also did not miss coming to shroud the mall and interview eyewitnesses they could meet. For them this is news that can make their company a big profit.

While the whole mess was happening in the mall, right now I was casually drinking coffee while watching the news at the Haiiro Cafe.

Before many people who came to the mall, we had gone first from there so as not to be a suspect. Though my body was already very tired and wanted to go home soon, but Herlin said there was something Oita-san wanted to talk about.

"Herlin, what exactly are we waiting for?"

"Oita-san's chat. It looks like there's something he wants to talk to us about" he said, still focused on his HP.

I noticed Herlin's current condition. His bloody temple was now covered with plaster and the rest of his wounds were just ordinary blisters.

Kriet...

And then someone opened the door from Oita-san—'s room which of course was Oita-san. He still had a friendly smile as usual and I thought that this was a casual conversation about the assault just now.

The two of us were told to go into her room and Oita-san sat down in her chair. An awkward silence had attacked the three of us and no one wanted to open up a chat. So in the end, I was the one who opened the conversation.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" my many.

"It looks like you two did something I didn't know, huh?"

Something that Oita-san doesn't know? Wait, so this isn't about the attack just now. What Herlin has to do with this anyway. I don't remember at all.

"Is there such a thing?"

"Herlin-chan, I want to hear her explanation from you" Oita-san said.

I looked at Herlin and he let out a faint sigh like someone who had been caught doing something. And here I'm still confused as to what we're really doing.

"I don't think I can cover it anymore. Yeah, sooner or later it's gonna get caught."

"Herlin, what exactly have we done?" my whiskey.

"The Beasts that attacked your school. Did you forget, Iraya-kun?" ask Oita-san.

"Gekh—!"

"Did you know they knew you were with the Beast's attack?"

"Th-that ...."

So about that, yeah. I did not expect that my actions at that time would cause trouble in the future. But back then I was just focusing on my revenge on Hasuki-san, anyway.

"Then, I'll tell you everything."

Then Herlin also told of the attack on The Beast at school a few months ago. My heart was pounding waiting for Herlin's story to finish. Oita-san will definitely punish me for the consequences of being this big.

".. So that's the story."

"Huh ...."

Oita-san only sighed after hearing everything told by Herlin. While being tense waiting for what punishment Oita-san gave, he suddenly raised both his hands and waved several times as if telling us to come closer.

Ctaac... Ctaac...

"Aduu—!"

"Why am I also affected?" herlin.

Oita-san touched the foreheads of the two of us which made us in pain and held onto the forehead of the two of us who were flushed. Herlin also looked surprised because he also received the same punishment as me.

"Yuri-kun."

"Huh-yes?""

"... Do you know why the Assassins from that company came to you?"

"Because of the commotion Herlin made at school?"

"Oi! Don't make it seem like it's all my fault" Herlin interjected.

"The two of you are not yet too strong to fight against those Assassins. Especially you, Iraya-kun. You came in here for the purpose of taking revenge on them, didn't you?"

"true."

"At least train yourself until you're sure you can win with those Assassins in a one-on-one fight."

"I understand."

"And so are you Herlin ...."

"... I know you have the ability to fight them, but I didn't expect you to help Iraya-kun in such a matter."

"Sorry. I thought I could help him quickly use this way."

"Hah .. It seems that the flick on the forehead is not enough for your punishment this time. Tomorrow I will come to your training, I will test you directly."

"Well," said the two of us at the same time.

**

And the next day after we got home from school, Oita-san actually came to the back hill to pay attention to our training. And it seems that he is not just paying attention, but also training us both.

"Huh ... Huh ... Huh ...."

"What's wrong? Are you tired already? All I gave was a light attack."

"Huh .. ma-sorry."

What a light attack and it's been three hours! Three hours Herlin and I were sparing with Oita-san without any rest. It's not sparing any more its name, it's torture, woi!

But I can only scream in my heart. I think this is the punishment that Herlin and I had to undergo due to the attack on The Beast at my school at that time. But it seems like this is already too much, even a miracle I can still stand and not faint.

"Ehehe .. Which stamina did you say was your strength?" cecilia meledek.

"Silent. I don't want to argue with you."

I glanced at Herlin who was next to me, setting up defensive horses. I couldn't see the exhausted expression from her, but sweat was certainly drenching her face and body at the moment.

"He-Herlin—"

"Don't talk. Focus on Oita-san's next attack."

This was the first time I had seen Herlin so seriously in an ordinary sparing. Oita-san's ability is completely out of our reach.

Actually other than sparing for three hours without stopping which made our stamina drain, the intimidating aura released by Oita-san also became one of the causes of both of us being quickly exhausted.

A purplish black aura that made me want to vomit when approached. Luckily Oita-san did not take it out too much or it would be a serious thing.

"This is the last one! Get ready!" oita-san.

This is Oita-san's last attack. The aura he released this time was larger and more concentrated than the previous one. In order to protect my body, I let out the aura I used to coat my entire body—So does Herlin.

"I'm coming!"

Oita-san darted quickly towards the two of us. But Herlin and I for this time did not dodge, but instead went forward intending to pit the power against the power we had.

Zwuush... Zwuush... Blaaarrr...

Just then, the sound of explosions could be heard up to a distance of about a kilometer around the back hill area.

Gleck... Gleck...

Herlin and I were sitting leaning under a tree while drinking the water that Oita-san was carrying. Sweat poured from both of our faces but Oita-san did not look exhausted even after giving off a lot of aura like that. This person's stamina is completely insane.

The two of us did not answer because we were still trying to eliminate the fatigue that was controlling me and Herlin at this time. Oita-san then smilingly watched him and then walked away.

"Where are you going, Oita-san?" my many.

"I have an appointment with someone tonight, so I leave first," said Oita-san, who resumed her steps.

He seems to be a busy man. Without taking any longer rest here, Oita-san went straight to the other destination. Busy people are different. But while I was thinking about Oita-san, Herlin stood up and looked at me.

"Hmm? What was?

"Before you go home, I want you to show me."

"Me-Show what?!"

"Your spirit, what else can you show me?" said innocently.

Ah like that yeah, I guess she wants to see something else. It turned out to be just looking at Cecilia. His words are ambiguous, anyway.

"Hentai" said Cecilia inside my head.

"Shut up."

Herlin seemed to realize what I just said to Cecilia. "Did you say something? Didn't the exercise make you crazy too?"

"Bu-Not so ...."

The problem is not that I don't want to show it or not, but it's all in Cecilia's hands that I can't interfere with. I hope she can hear this voice of my heart and come out on her own.

"Heh~ In the end you begged me? After the bad behavior you did to me?"

It turns out that he is good when it comes to reading the heart. But I don't remember ever doing anything bad to her. I beg Cecilia, I hope you can comply with my request on this one.

"Please."

"Hn?" Herlin was of course confused when I went back to talking to myself. But right now I'm not talking to him.

"Hah .. when it comes to begging you there is no opponent."

Shie...

Suddenly after I pleaded, my body shone brightly which made Herlin squint his eyes and slightly retreat. The light gradually turned greenish and the particles of light gathered next to me and piled up into human figures.

The greenish light disappeared and this time Cecilia's body appeared completely and perfectly. Long green hair and plain white shirt. It's been a long time since I've seen his form directly, usually I just hear his noisy nagging.

"So, what do you want from me?" cecilia said with a little judes.

After the light disappeared, Herlin then walked up to Cecilia and watched her body from top to bottom, before she said something.

"So this is what you took from that company? It doesn't seem convincing."

"Huh?! You want to make a storm?! I am a collection of many Spirits!"

"really? But I'm not sure you can beat me."

"Would you try this, boy?!"

"You two ...."

Though they had only met for a few minutes, but had immediately fought like this. It seems like the two of them are indeed not suitable to talk to each other.

"Iraya, I don't think you need to rely on him anymore. I alone am enough to make you stronger."

"You did help me a lot, anyway. But—"

Cecilia then immediately cut my conversation. "Well! Speak as you please, but this child wouldn't have survived until now if it wasn't for my help."

"Aren't you the one who forced his way into her body?"

"I chose him because he was attractive to me, meeting you was just a coincidence. I actually wanted her to be taught by that man, but she paired it with you instead" Cecilia said.

"Oita-san doesn't need to intervene directly, because I can already teach her."

The two of them had a fight, no matter what they were talking about. Somehow I could see imaginary lightning that signified their hostility.

"This is the first time you've met, hey."

"Hmmm!" They then throw their faces away at the same time. But Cecilia spoke again to Herlin. "I've shown myself, it's time to show you Your Unseen."

"The Unseen?"

"Oh yeah, I was curious too. Can I see it directly?"

"It doesn't matter, because he's basically always with me. Just not visible."

"So I can see it?"

Herlin nodded. But before that he had a glance towards Cecilia. "I want to because this is Iraya's request, not for a lowly creature like you."

"Grrh ...!"

Again a flash of lightning appeared behind the two of them and all I could do was laugh and separate them. Both of them will be fine, yes.

"Banshee ...."

Swuush...

But after that, Herlin actually summoned The Unseen. A figure of a pale-skinned woman appeared and floated right behind Herlin's body. The form of the white-haired woman was very graceful and charming. Absolutely perfect female body shape.

"It's so pretty." Unknowingly I said such a thing.

"So he's always helping you kill monsters?" my many.

"Yes, that's it."

"Why do I find it strange to imagine such a beautiful woman killing her enemies so cruelly."

"Hmph! Only ordinary white-haired Sadako, what could she be?" cecilia said as if she did not want to lose.

"At least he's more useful than you."

"You ...!"

Prok... Prok...

I patted my hand to separate the two of them. "Have, have, you two. Hopefully we can work well together going forward, huh?"

"Hmph! See you, boy."

After being satisfied to show her body, Cecilia decided to return to my body. The Unseen belongs to Herlin—Banshee also returns to her invisible mode.

"Then let's go home."

"Yes." Yeah."

While we were walking home, we talked a little. "So she's the one who made me meet you, huh?" herlin Mumbles.

"Mn? Herlin?"

"Because of that creature in your body, we're walking home from the back hill now."

"Aah~ I think you're right. Our first meeting was if not wrong when I was surrounded by small monsters, right? After that, everything went as it is now. That future ... is really unpredictable, huh?"

"Yes. But it seems, I like this future."

I stopped walking in shock and saw Herlin who kept walking leave me. Unknowingly, my face flushed red and my heart was pounding at the thought of Herlin's words just now.

"Huh .. don't make me misunderstand, dong," I muttered.
