Volume 5 Chapter 12-2 The Great Villain of the World and the Masters, Planning the Investigation
"Master Raikou, please take me with you!"
"Of course! It looks like Kaou is keeping an eye on Tenhou to make sure he doesn't do anything reckless."
"Yes! Master!!"
I've gotten the master's permission.
Now, we just have to wait for Ryougen-kun's decision.
I don't think he'll let 'Kiryou' and 'Moukou' go unchecked.
However, it might take some time for his judgment.
Until then, we'll have to wait as we practice martial arts.
"This is just a suggestion from me, but..."
Suddenly, Shuu-sensei chimed in.
"How about we complete the 'Heaven-Earth Guidance Technique' before His Highness the King's younger brother makes his decision?"
"Complete the legendary technique?"
"Yes. If you do that, your 'ki' will become stronger, and you'll be able to manipulate 'Divine Energy' even better. I think that power would be useful for Kiryou's investigation."
"With all due respect... won't that be difficult at this point?"
It was Shouou who responded.
"Only I, Tenhou, Seirei-san, and Touri-san can perform that guidance. I think it would be tough to find a fifth member right now..."
"Huh?"
"What?"
"Didn't Tenhou-kun explain about the fifth member to Kaou-kun?"
"Have we found the fifth member?"
"Yes. Tenhou-kun found a suitable candidate in the town of Toukaku."
"...Tenhou did?"
"I was surprised too. Tenhou-kun picked the perfect person."
"The perfect person?"
"That's right. She's a cute girl with a strong thirst for knowledge."
".........A cute girl, huh?"
"Ah, and she's the perfect person for the eastern position. She's from 'Toukaku,' and with a name like 'Kō' that's related to dragons, it's fitting. Plus, we're the same age, and the flow of 'ki' is in a special state."
"............Did that girl agree to the Legendary Secret Teaching (saiouhiden)?"
"She said she definitely wants to participate."
"Really..."
"Yes, that's amazing. Tenhou-kun has a talent for finding the right people."
"...Yes, he does."
Shouou nodded, her tone serious.
Then, she slowly turned her gaze towards her,
"...I'm also curious about Tenhou's talent. How did he find that girl? I'd really like to hear about it..."
"Yeah, you should explain it to him, Tenhou-kun."
"Yes, I'd like to hear the explanation, Tenhou."
Shuu-sensei nodded, and Shouou placed his hand on my shoulder.
Certainly...I should explain to Shouou.
Shouou hasn't met Fuu Senkou yet.
But...Fuu Senkou is currently in Ryougen-kun's mansion library, right?
I was supposed to return her to Toukaku the day after she entered the library, but it got postponed.
That's because I had to go to the northern fortress on Crown Prince Rouen's orders.
Also, Yuuri-sama showed interest in Fuu Senkou.
Yuuri-sama promised, 'While Kou Tenhou-sama is away, I will take care of this person.'
She kept Fuu Senkou there, allowing her to stay in the mansion.
That's why I could go to the northern fortress with peace of mind.
But it's been several days since then.
I'm starting to worry about Fuu Senkou.
Knowing her, she might be so engrossed in reading that she forgets to eat.
I should introduce Shouou and check on her at the same time.
"Understood. Let's go to see Fuu Senkou-sama together now."
I said.
"There's also the matter of the Legendary Secret Teaching, and I'd like to introduce Shouou as well."
"S-so, you think?"
"Also, I'm worried that Fuu Senkou-san might be starving herself in the library."
"I don't understand why she would do that!? What kind of person is she, anyway!?"
"I'll give you a proper introduction. I'll explain why I brought her here too."
Master Raikou and Shuu-sensei nodded in agreement when I spoke up.
"Understood. Let's go visit His Highness the King's younger brother now."
Master Raikou looked us over and said,
"I'll inform His Highness the King's younger brother about Bakkai's testimony. Yokumai should go with Tenhou and Kaou to see Fuu Senkou. We need to have a meeting before we proceed with the arcane traditions."
"Acknowledged. My senior disciple."
"I'm counting on you, Master Raikou. Shuu-sensei."
"Y-yes. I... I want to meet her too."
And so, we all decided to visit Ryougen-kun's mansion.
