Hikaru POV " You were watching that?!" Akari held her cheeks as she shook her head, embarrassed about it. Kagome" I did. I didn't know it was you until later on. To tell you the truth I was quite impressed that you were able to control a weapon that was much bigger than yourself but I was too shy to tell you when I realized it was you on that fateful day." Kaen" A beautiful display of Demon Slayer technique! At its fullest glory! I wish I could witness that first hand!" Akari" Really? I always admired your casting skills. It was just amazing that you can cast so many spells. Not many priests can cast more than 3 spells a day." V4" Hey! Brat! You better not be thinking of using me as a test dummy again! " Kagome" * Giggles* It's not that great, all the spells I use are under level 5 spells and don't require a lot of mana." Kaen" But your my best test dummy!" Akari" But I still think it's pretty awesome! Did you see how awesome you were back in that cave? If it wasn'

V4.1 POV " The Princess is coming!" V6 warned as he straightened his back. I immediately shoved the list into the pouch hanging on my belt. " Oh... I see you're with your friend, Whiskers. Aren't you going to introduce me?" Princess chimed with a small smile. " My apologies, Your Highness. I am... Man.. man... Manor, a lowly Palace guard." I bowed my head as I wrecked my brain for a name. " If Whiskers has taken an interest in you, I doubt your anything lowly! Any friend of Whiskers is a friend of mine." " It is an honor you think of me as a friend, your Highness." I placed my hand over my heart, trying to look sincere and hide how awkward this all was, standing here with a version pretending to be a tiger. " Please! Call me Sana." " I couldn't!" I stood up straight and held my hands up, gesturing for her to stop, hoping not to offend her in any way. The Princess started pouting and looking at me with her teary green eyes that just made my heart sink. ..... W

Kaen POV " Kaen! You ready?" Hikaru called out to me. " Yeah! Let's get this show on the road!" I said with a grin as I dashed back toward them. Hikaru was already seated on the first caravan which was connected to the second caravan. Both the first and second were carrying the villages. Akari and Kagome were seated on the third which was connected to the fourth that was carrying the cursed caged mothers. Hikaru had arranged this setup yesterday so that if anything happens to the cursed mother Akari can put them to sleep with her demon power and Kagome can make sure they can't harm anyone with her holy magic. I sat next to Hikaru who gives me a grin before starting our journey back to Hilldale Village. " Mister Knight?" A little girl called out from the cart behind us. " Yes ?" Hikaru chimed. " Thanks for saving us." She said in a very cute and sweet voice and as soon as she did. The whole first and second caravans started thanking me, Hikaru, Akari, and Ka

V4.1 ( Manor) POV Suddenly V6 appears in human form dressed as a servant walking fast from the side entrance. " My apologies, My Lord but Manor's presents have just been requested." V6 says in a very fancy voice as he bows. Damn, I didn't know Whiskers could be this fancy. " Then by all means please go ahead. " Terrius bowed as he gestured to me. " Please excuse me." The sound of the trumpets announcing the arrival of Hikaru and Shinigami (V7) sounds throughout the throne room. I bow goodbye to Terrius before quickly following V6 out of the room. We stop at a desolated hallway which V6 checked carefully before speaking. " It's horrible news! !!" " What is it? What did you find out?" " V7 caught a Version Slayer going by the name Bankotsu when he was saving the villagers from the catacombs! Who knows what horrible plots he has that involve that!!" " Did he say where's he's headed after this?" " His quest isn't complete yet since he needs to find a cure to uncu

Hikaru POV " Let's go already!" Kaen excitedly says while seated in the driver seat next to Manor. All the luggage had already been loaded, leaving only me and Terrius the only beings, not on board. Me and Terrius, not wanting to delay any longer, immediately boarded. We sat behind the driver seat, behind Kaen and Manor next to the cages. " Coming back to my inquiries, do they have any weaknesses? Anything they aren't comfortable with?" Terrius pulled out a quill and parchment taking down notes. " Holy magic." Kaen enthusiastically answered with a raised hand. " What?! But it's that thing a human?!" Manor exclaimed. " That's an unholy amount of dark magic. No wonder they grew so many extra heads and limbs.....But that does bring us to the conclusion that Holy Magic is part of the cure.....But not even Holy purification is enough. ..and there's the risk of the subjects dying from being over-exposed to such godly powers. " Terrius theorized as he took down more n
