Toasteful: Chapter 156, Part 5

[Part 5/5]

"Middle Counselor-sama!!"

I go to Middle Counselor, who they want to take, not care they hold my shirt.

'You care about other people!?'

"What!?"

But someone comes behind me. He has black feathers in the air. With a nice and same look, like the one who did this... I turn and hit with my Tantō. It was an arrow like before...!!

"It's hard...!!?"

'You have a good Tantō...!!'

The Tantō, a special 'bad' thing from the Lady of the Onitsuki family, is a famous sword. But the Tengu's bow in front of me, that does not break or bend when it hits it, is also a good thing.

"No, this is... a curse!?"

I guessed while blocking the metal stick that was swung at me with my Tantō. My sharp senses revealed the power that flowed from the enemy's body to the bow. It was probably something similar to material enhancement by spiritual power. He used tools instead of his own abilities. It was very skillful for a youkai that was common in the world.

'Good answer!! And...!!'

The Tengu took out a rope from his pocket. The rope moved like a snake and wrapped around me.

"This much... ugh!!?"

I tried to cut it off before being trapped, but I felt weak. My spiritual power, and even more, was being drained.

'Don't think it's the same as what you use? It doesn't seal. It sucks. And, it grows and becomes stronger with what it sucks...!!'

"This, no...!!?"

While he was explaining, the rope kept sucking everything from me. It grew longer and thicker. It was not a rope anymore. It was a cable. A strong cable that tied my limbs... making me fell, and I couldn't move.

(Youkaization... no, it's bad!!)

To become youkai, this place is too much seen by people, and if I go crazy, too many will get hurt. Also, I don't know if I can change well because the rope takes my power.

'Tsutsuji, please do what big boss (Odaijin-sama) says. Ginshu, you keep that one. Nakabeni, don't forget to watch around. ...I will, take this guy'

He talks to his friends, or maybe laborers. And then that Tengu came to me who fell down. I look up. He looks down. He seemed the leader of Tengu who destroyed the head of Kakitsugi family.

"Guh... kuh!!?"

'Huh, ? Are you heavy? ...Maybe monkey is only skin?'

His arm looks not strong with clothes, but Tengu holds me easy with his side. He says different from his words. His strength is clearly not human.

'OK. Let's leave. ...Tell the others too. Don't play with weak ones forever.'

The Tengu who attacked us spread their wings and flew up. I also, captured, hugged, and flew in the sky.

...At the same time, a fire came close to us.

'...Tch!! This is bad!!'

The Tengu blocked the sword that cut the wind with the fan he had on his waist. A loud sound of impact that shook the air rang out. A moment later, both the Tengu and I were blown away in opposite directions by the force.

'Boss!!?'

'Just go home first!! I can handle the monkey kid by myself!!'

Some of the Tengu who tried to leave stayed in the air and shouted at the big Tengu who I held. He himself skillfully fixed his posture in the air and laughed at his subordinates' worries. And he got ready.

The first princess of Onitsuki was running in the sky.

(Is this a use of her power!!)

Flames appear in the air as Hina steps on them. She must have made some kind of platform. The princess swordswoman of Onitsuki quickly approached again.

"Give it back!!"

'Is it yours!?'

A fan and a sword clash. At the same time, Tengu hits Hina with a bow in his free hand.

"Hina!!"

I shout. But it is too late. The bow cuts Hina's face. Her face splits. Blood comes out. Still, she grabs the bow.

"I got you...!!"

A pale fire comes out of her hand, and Tengu tries to throw away his good bow. The cut on Hina's face is already 'gone'.

'I thought so from the fire, but it is bad to touch you, right?'

"See for yourself!!"

'What!?'

With a loud voice, Hina jumps in the air and pushes hard. Tengu loses his balance and falls to the ground. Hina and Tengu keep clashing as they fall.

"Ughh!!"

'Damn!?'

The position of up and down makes the clash win. Hina knocks off the fan with the sword. And the sword with fire swings at Tengu.

My body too was pushed forward as a shield in front of Hinata.

"!!?"

"Hina, no!!"

I saw the astonishment and agitation in her eyes. Hina quickly deactivated her ability in a panic. But I blamed her for it. It was too late. It was already too late.

From the shadows of my body, from under Tengu's sleeve, ropes stretched out like snakes towards Hina.

"This... this is nothing!!? Guh!? Ugh!!?"

She swungs her sword. She cut the ropes. But that was all. The ropes coiled around Hinata's body one after another, tightening.

"Don't entangle me without permission...!!"

Hina tried to burn away the thick, rough ropes that tightened around her body in an instant. But... it couldn't be done.

"'Annihilation'!?"

'Isn't your supranatural ability is an extension of magic!!?"

Since supranatural ability also use spiritual power to activate, if you steal or seal that spiritual power, it cannot be activated. It is the most common and difficult method to seal abilities.

'And like this!'

"What!?"

In the next blink of an eye, the positions of Tengu and Hina were reversed. Hina was below, Tengu was above. It was as if she had been deceived by a fox, tricked by a raccoon.

And then, I get what Tengu means in a flash.

"It's bad! Hina...!!"

'Don't kiss the ground!!'

A cruel kick hits Hina in the belly. With that shock, Tengu grabs me and rises at once. There's a sudden boom, creating dust, crashing, or maybe impact...!!

"Hinaa!!?"

As I scream, Tengu flies to the sky, to the sky, just keeps going up. Before I know it, I can see the whole forest, the squad is barely visible, so far away....

"Stoﾞstoﾞopﾞpﾞpﾞpﾞpﾞpﾞpﾞpﾞpﾞpﾞ!!!!"

"Wha!?"

From the far away ground, a beast-like roar echoed. I know it's my childhood friend's, but I can't help but feel fear. It's from my instinct....

'Oops. I forgot. ...Well, you sleep a bit'

"Wha!?"

And right after that, Tengu hits my neck, and my mind goes black....

Until the very end of my fading consciousness, Hina's screams continued to echo in my ears...
