After spending a hot time at the Onigashima inn, while the two were resting and lying down, I stepped out of the inn for a moment.
"Phew... Maybe I'm a little drunk too. I went too wild."
I satisfy my hunger with the leftover food and take a short walk around.
Onigashima seems to be a rocky island, so there wasn't much to see. At best, the sea visible down below?
I looked around thinking there might be something... but...
"A ca, cafe?"
Not a teahouse, but a modern-style cafe. It's open for business...
I decide to go in once. Opening the door and entering, I see a stylish modern cafe.
"Welcome to Anenelbe, meow~! Your order, please, Neko!"
"... Hmm."
Why is Anenelbe here? This isn't Chaldea... Well, since I'm already at the sanctuary, I might as well eat something. There seem to be other customers besides me...
Mysterious Neko X greets me, and I go inside.
"That's what I'm saying... My lord doesn't summon me..."
"That's truly a pity. Rejoice, maiden, your wish shall be granted."
And a familiar Neko wearing King Hassan's explosive charge outfit. And next to her is a completely drunk Ushiwakamaru...
Why are you there?
"Ung~? Aah~ It's my lord~!"
And Ushiwakamaru flies towards me like a rocket and hugs me tightly...
Crack...!
Something seems broken... but thanks to some blessing or other, it doesn't hurt...
"Hello Ushiwakamaru... have you been well...?"
"I was lonely without you, my lord~!"
"Why are you so drunk... Do they sell alcohol at the cafe too?"
"She came here already drunk, meow! So, your order!? Our shop's strawberry pie is famous!"
"Yeah yeah!"
Neko X and a Neko in Fran's appearance. I coolly go along with it and order a caramel macchiato. I don't like bitter things.
"My lord~ How much do I love you, how could you not summon me~!"
"Sorry. Then let's live together from now on. Okay?"
"If it's my lord's command~!"
In this world, you must survive with an iron-clad face and an 'I did nothing wrong' attitude. The coffee I ordered arrives, and I gulp it down immediately. Mmm~ This is the taste.
"My lord... Still, please comfort this Ushiwaka who waited so lonely..."
"There there~ Our Ushiwaka did well~"
"Hehe, thank you, my lord~"
How cute. Ushiwakamaru is surprisingly about 168cm, taller than one might think.
Because of that, there isn't much height difference between us. Should I say she's like a cute girl my age?
Currently, it's her childhood, so if you only look at age, I'm probably older.
Probably...
"You're too drunk, Ushiwaka. You smell of alcohol."
"Is that so~? But you still like me, right, my lord~^^"
"Yeah, I like you..."
The Rider 3-star is Bond 8, the 4-star swimsuit version is 10. That's because she's a welfare Servant.
Since staying here isn't good either, I leave the cafe with Ushiwaka. Of course, I paid. I carry emergency money just in case.
I take the drunk Ushiwakamaru to the inn and lay her down.
"Where did you go to bring back Ushiwakamaru-san..."
"It just happened."
Tamamo was awake, and after laying Ushiwaka down beside her, I hug Tamamo and tell her not to feel upset.
"It's okay~ Don't be jealous~"
"I still don't have enough of you, my husband."
"My, what a spoiled child you are."
Draco, seeing such Tamamo, evaluates her as spoiled. It's not a wrong statement, since she's a child hungry for love.
"Then, does Ushiwaka-san have to come with us?"
"She was crying after drinking..."
"Can't be helped. I understand that feeling very well~ Frankly, I don't think I could ever dislike her, you know?"
"You're overflowing with confidence? Of course, I, the Emperor, am the same. There's no way I'd lose to a scrawny tanuki!"
The two and Ushiwaka have different charms, but... well, I felt the two would have the upper hand. By the way, it's not even raining outside, but is that thunder?
"Let's leave Ushiwaka-san here for now~ and have a cozy date just between us~☆"
"She'll chase after us on her own once she sobers up."
"Is that so..."
Since the purpose of this trip is to comfort the two, for now, let's follow their opinion.
=======================
Kwa-rrrrumble!
Lightning striking down from the sky.
Ushigozen moving while spreading intense demonic energy downwards from the summit of Onigashima.
A monster born with both divinity and demonic nature as the child of the Ox-Headed Heavenly King = Shakra = Indra.
"I can feel it, the presence of the only human on this island...!"
Ushigozen pursuing the presence of Dammiti, the only human on Onigashima.
The evil personality of Minamoto no Raikou, a personality formed from demonic nature during childhood.
A warrior and monster who killed both humans and youkai, reaching the peak of the Heian period.
Such a woman is targeting him to test him, but...
Tap... tap...
"... Who are you. I can't feel your presence at all. Are you a youkai like Shuten-dōji? Or, a demigod?"
"Wrong. So, who is testing whom here?"
Shiiing...
"What are you... The killing intent felt from that sword is not human at all... Reveal yourself!"
"Frankly, I'm jealous... But still, the atmosphere is such that I shouldn't interrupt Master. However, it seems you want to destroy that form. I couldn't hold back and came. Don't worry, I won't kill you. Instead..."
"I'll teach you what fear is."
=============================
Onigashima is a somewhat desolate rocky island, but surprisingly, there are convenience facilities.
"Why is there a convenience store here?"
"Let's see... NFF Convenience Store... Master, let's go somewhere else."
"That girl sure has many businesses."
She even opened a store on Onigashima. Even a convenience store?
Ding-ding~
Then the door opens, and a familiar face comes out.
"Ara, you came all the way here, my lord? The castle or such is over there, though?"
"What are you doing here? Did you come to interfere with our date?"
"I'm an oni, aren't I? This is originally my private property~ Just came, though? I won't interfere~"
It was private property...?
No, originally during her lifetime, she traveled around China alone, so maybe it's natural...? Since she's a child of a god and thus born with a silver spoon, it's understandable...
"Then does Shuten have a house here too?"
"There is. But are you coming today?"
"Next time. I decided to focus on these two today."
I say while hugging Tamamo and Draco with both arms. Draco grins, and Tamamo blushes as if embarrassed.
"Our lord is so cool~ But, what's that over there?"
Following Shuten's words, I turn around to see something rolling down the hill above.
Is this... Ushigozen? Why is she like this? She's unconscious with her eyes rolled back. What happened now...
