195-Return home




 After destroying the Dark Night's Leopard and handing over the lead to Alessandro, Yuto and the others immediately returned to Beijing without remaining there for any length of time.
 This is so that they can return home immediately before the Chinese government investigates.
 Even though the Dark Night's Leopard had set it up first, this one also went on a great rampage on someone else's premises. There was no way we could take it easy right there.
 When I arrived in Beijing, I contacted Tadokoro, the guide from the agency, and asked him about the arrangements for my return trip, and he said he could get me a plane ticket right away, so Masato and the others went to the airport first.
 As soon as they met up with Tadokoro, they were handed a ticket to Japan and spent the time before their flight at the airport.

'.........That Count or something like that, he was thinking of summoning a demon god to sacrifice Marion! What a bunch of idiots. Did they have a way to control the demons? If you couldn't do it, you'd have a serious situation involving the world. And why would you sacrifice Marion as a sacrifice...?

'Yeah I don't know about that. They were obnoxious and creepy to the very end. But now we don't know if they're going to come after Marion-san in the future. Maybe we should be wary of them to some extent.

''Yes but I'll be fine, Yuto-san. I'll protect myself as well.

''Well for now Marion is a guest of Shitennji, so she won't come to mess with you so much while you're at our house. After hearing what happened to the Dark Night's Leopard this time.......even more so.

''Haha........Well, if the rumors about this case spread.......I mean, the agencies will spread it in the dark, but what happens if you mess with the Shitenji family will spread, even if you don't want to. I think the number of organizations that fear the Shitenji family will increase...

Well, that's exactly the kind of thing that's a little late for that!

... hahaha, sure.

''More importantly........Is your injury okay, Yuto-san? Anything that could be made worse by this fight...

'My left arm doesn't seem to be moving freely yet, but my right hand is fine. I didn't have any problems with it in this fight. You sound like a really good doctor, and you're an institution. I was feeling much better the day before I left Japan and on the plane.

''How are you going to recover from that injury in a day or so....... A sacred path user is a monster?

'A monster just maximizes your natural healing abilities. They circulate and amplify your inner chi. You can circulate it with others, but it has the greatest effect on you.

Oh, the one you did for Akiko-san, right?

So you think we can do it? Yuto.

'What? Oh, no! You can do it but I wouldn't really recommend it when you're conscious, I mean...

Why?

No.... well... this method is what is known in the Sendo as... you know... bochujutsu.  That man and woman to do it with ... well ...

What? The art of the mop-up? What's that? Is that some kind of bug repellent? What are you talking about, Yuto?

'And anyway! It means it's easy to do to someone who's unconscious!

'Hmmm, well, next time I get hurt or tired, I'll ask you. Or when I'm asleep.

What?

What's with that reaction? It's good, you're surprisingly stingy, Masato.

 Next to the two who were exchanging such things as, Marion who understood this accurately......was turning red from face to ears.

''Boh, Bosaka Jutsu........ Bosochu jutsu being done to you, Yuto-san.....................Haha!

"...Yeah? Huh? Marion! Why are you rolling your eyes? And red in the face! Hey, Marion!

'Whaaaa........pshaw....'

 Steam rises from Marion's face like steam from a boiler.

'Marion! What's the deal with the bobbing and weaving! Hey, Eugene! Do something about it!

I'll do something!

So what's the deal with the vacuum technique?

It's nothing!

 Marion's spinning eyes managed to adjust their perspective and Marion recovered, though she was still breathing heavily.

'Nah, I'm fine. I'm sorry I'm so distraught.

'Are you sure you're okay? Marion. All of a sudden, I almost jumped out of consciousness, but...

''No........because you said something strange.......um? Wait!

What?

Hey! Don't scare me all of a sudden! What's wrong with you this time? Marion.



(...clicks!)

 As he watches, Masato sees the light fading from Marion's eyes.

''Yuto-san?''

'Ha! No, no, Marion. That was just part of the treatment...

Marion, that's why it's called booby-trapping!

 A smiling Marion (not smiling in her eyes) beckoned to Mizuho, who still didn't understand the meaning, and put her mouth to Mizuho's ear.



Uh-huh... what?

 

''Hey, I got a stomach ache so I had to go to the bathroom until just before flight time........Aon!

 The two girls' strong hands were on both of Yuto's shoulders.
 A large amount of sweat flows from Yuto's forehead.
 It is felt. The two dangerous beings behind him now.

(Don't look back! (We'll have to force our way into the men's room...)

Yuto.....
Yuto-san.....

 Yuto's body, which had destroyed the Dark Night's Leopard, did not move at all.

(Hey, why?!

 And the hands on both of his shoulders flipped Yuto's body with a wonderful combination.
 
 Marion carrying the vision of a tiger sucking on her prey........

''Gee, misunderstanding........''

 A teary-eyed Yuto...................closes his eyes quietly.

(Goodbye, I.........)

'Oh, you! What did you do to my friends? You perverted moron!

'Yes, sir! There really wasn't any other way! And it won't affect Akiko-san in any strange way, right!

'Heeeee! I'm fine! It's not going to affect you in any way! Trust me!

 When Tadokoro comes to tell them that their flight time is coming up, he finds these three young men... and gives them a dry laugh.
 And seriously.......he wonders if he should pretend to be a stranger.
