Immortal Moon 22 Chapter 20 The Scroll

He was reading the said novel when a part of the bookcase where the scroll about tamamo-no-mae's myth had been placed after the last time that he took a look at it...

Did it reveal something again...?

He hurridly took the aforementioned scroll which was kept inside of a secure box to protect it from the elements from the said bookcase and opened it.

He guessed right... The scroll did reveal some more text like it was some kind of game unlockable from a game that has mythological creatures along with characters from legends from around the world.

A beam of golden light s.h.i.+ned upwards from the scroll while the front of it faced the ceiling of the huge and dusty-looking room library.

I see... Now I understand... It updates whenever Yui gets stronger...

He's- Hideo's discovery now had made it easier for him to manage the Earth's Immortal Management Discovery when it came to apprehending crime-causing immortals aside from other monsters...

He started to read the new paragraph that was added to the old-looking scroll, almost old enough to start coming apart as he held it with his barehands.

[Tamamo-no-Mae's descendant can also gain more tails by defeating an Oni or a Tengu, and only at that point will she gain all the powers of Tamamo-no-Mae and be able to fully control it.]

Oni or Tengu, huh? I'm tempted to try this but I don't fully trust this scroll just yet.

*knock, knock*

A light knock was heard from the only door in that room that could be used to come in or come out, there were also other doors but the room behind each of those are just additional storage for the books, scrolls, and othee important things that needs to be hidden away from the prying eyes of the public.

"Come in."

He answered putting the scroll back to where he got it from with it inside it's secure case that looks like a box that you can put futomaki in.

"There been reports that the twin Rika and Aoi have ben brainwashed by the people that kidnapped them."

Kuro reported slowly closing the door behind her.

"What?"

x.x.x

Back at the residential area where Miku and Rika are currently fighting each other...

s.h.i.+t... I underestimated her... I didn't expect her to break my binding spell...

Miku clung on to her right arm which had been broken by Rika while they fought.

*Woos.h.!.+*

She heard the sound of someone using a teleportation behind her which made her take her eyes of the currently brainwashe Rika who was already badly hurt by Miku...

"Mentor!"

The girl with silver hair and blue eyes stood behind her, with a talisman in her hand a magic circle appeared underneath the feet of Rika who had been glaring at the two ever since Miku let her out of her sight.

The purple-haired girl collapsed as she had been exhausted from buying time until backup came.

"H-Hey... Are you all right...?"

Yui quickly caught Miku's exhausted body as she was just about to hit the roof tiles of the roof that they were on.

"Impossible... No, It isn't true! How can Tamamo-no-Mae have a descendant?!"

Rika exclaimed with a voice that sounded like it was someone elses.

Is she possesed by something...?

Yui looked towards where the now tied up Rika was not being able to move.

"And who might you be?"

Yui inquired letting only one of her hands hold up the unconscious oni and have the other have a fox flame appear on it as to intimidate whoever's possesing the cat humanoid.

"That won't work on me, you know?"

"Oh really...? How about this then?"

The silver-haired girl quickly went up to Rika after she put down Miku but before she could get close enough to do anything Rika just teleported away

d.a.m.n...She got away...

She clicked her tongue in frustration towards the cat humanoid that had escaped.

I guess I'll report about what just happened when we get back...

She carried the unconscious Miku on her back and casted a teleportation spell to save time instead of just going back by foot which would take even more time.

Inside of a abandoned-looking j.a.panese mansion that you'd see during the meiji era a woman with the twins Rika and Aoi who were currently under her full control...

"f.u.c.k! I didn't expect that the fox would get a descendant... I can't believe the frame up that I did with Emperor Konoe being the main part didn't completely destroy her..."

In a irritated voice the woman named Ten shouted in anger to her discover of Yui's existence.

---

"It looks like someone has possesed Rika."

Yui reported to Hideo who was like usual sitting inside the lounge area like a carefree person.

"Did you manage to find out anything else?"

This is such a pain... Why do I have to answer this...?

"She got away before I did."

Yui forced herself to answer even though her pride was preventing her to do so.

Hideo tried to not get mad at her mistake by just keeping quite for a moment then he replied: "Ok, You girls will do some missions for now while I figure out what to do about this whole problem with the twins going missing."

Looks like this is gonna get in the way of future missions and orders... I need to get those two back ASAP and if I don't it might affect their morale...

Then he finally let Yui go back into the dorms to check on Miku's state then get some rest afterwards.

Miku had already been concious again by the time Yui had entered the room but still feeling weak from using a lot of her mana to buy some time and also defend herself both at the same time.

"Mentor...?"

Miku spoke up seemingly like she had drunk alchohol and had gotten drunk afterwards.

Is she acting this way because of her low mana...? Is this how Oni are when they're low on it...?

Yui just stared back at the drunk-like female oni who was sitting on a futon like she hasn't stood up yet ever since she woke up.

She just ignored her and just started medidating in a corner thinking that she's probably just half-asleep but suddenly-

Miku started to slowly crawl like a infant towards her.

"Are you low on mana?"

Yui asked opening an eye and seeing Miku's face only a few inches away from her.

Miku nodded instead of saying "Yes" as a reply which Yui found a little wierd...

If i remember right oni can consume human blood to regenerate it quickly but...

Yui suddenly remembered that they couldn't just go and kill any humans since Hideo would just apprehend them the moment they start doing it and thinks of an alternative way to get it...
