Obanai Iguro Novels & Stories

"Don’t get me wrong; I just wanted to know. My husband is a friend of Ryusuke Sato; they knew each other when we were still in Tokyo. He told me about this place and highly recommended it for learning Ikebana. Sato-san even mentioned Kuryugumi to convince me to try it here." Karin casually dropped Ryu’s name. She didn't inquire about Ogata's familiarity with him, and her actions were deliberate. Karin was aware that Kuryugumi didn't casually mention names, and by bringing up Sato, she intended to suggest that Sato was a close family member of hers. Ogata, who had initially been startled and suspicious, now smiled again. "Sato-san? You know him? He’s such a friendly man. He has visited this p

his words were cut off by Nat shoving a piece of sushi into his mouth. "Adam talks way too much sometimes," she said with a sympathetic shake of her head. "It's okay. Higan is also pretty blunt," I said. "It's called being honest," Higan corrected as he walked into the room and sat next to me. "I walk away for a moment and you are ready to slander me." I tensed when he rested his hand a little too high on my thigh, the balls of his fingers dipped into my inner thigh. I looked at the couple in front of me. They were talking about something and did not pay us any mind so, I relaxed a little.

To say that she was confused would be an exaggeration. “What is this place?” Amaka’s voice echoed. The crunch under their feet made Ejima tighten her fist on the sling dangling on her waist.

Skulls lined the walls, adding more horror to each stride they took. “Iworo.” Uche said and when Ejima thought he was not going to continue, he added, “Once known as Death’s eponym. It was first built by Gruchi, an old wizard who served the kingdom, not for money or power, but blood.”

Isaac stepped out from one of the off-road Mercedes-Benzes before he looked coldly at Ichiro and said, “Mr. Kobayashi, our young lord would like to invite you to come over for a chat!” “Your young lord?” Ichiro asked nervously as he hid the magical pills in his pocket. “Who’s your young lord? Do you know who I am? I am the vice chairman of Kobayashi Pharma!” Isaac stretched out his hand and patted Ichiro on his face before he replied indifferently, “Kobayashi Pharma is a Japanese company and we’re not in Aurous Hill. Why are you pretending to be that great or powerful? Japan and Aurous Hill are so far apart and separated by the seas. So, why are you trying to tell me who you are now?”

Ryu could tell that I wasn’t lying as he had smelt and heard my words and could see that I wasn’t lying. Jimmy didn’t act scared; rather, he acted all nonchalant. He didn’t move a single finger; neither did he fight back or attack Ryu with words. “You reek of Moon Hound blood.” Ryu broke the silence. I staggered back, my eyes narrowed as his claws emerged from his fingers. Unlike the rest, his claws were sharper, stronger, and sword-like.
