” Miss Saki, Thanks to the work in the northern district stating again, we are now back on track.”
” Also, We have also acquired three more clubs in the Shikiyama district.”
” Alright, I guess we have already met our yearly quota, ye?” Saki placed the file on the table with a light grin.”Congratulations, Everyone. You have worked hard.”
” It’s all thanks to your vision and leadership, Miss Saki.”
” Indeed, We still have three months till the year ends yet we are already running on profit.”
” Alright, Since everything has been decided, Let’s end the meeting.”
” Yes, Boss.”
” Yes, Lady Saki.”
As everyone left the room, Saki rubbed her forehead and leaned back on the chair. ” Haah, Finally, I can take a break.”
” You have been working hard, Dear.”
” Mmm, Did you bring a cup of hot chocolate for me?” Saki spoke with a smile as Jun Tianyun appeared behind him and slowly massaged his back.
” How thoughtful you are. And this hot chocolate is so…Relaxing.”
” Well, How about we go for dinner tonight, Hm?”
” Alright, My husband.”
After having a long passionate kiss, Jun Tianyun left the room. However, when he came outside, Saito was standing straight, waiting for him.
” Uncle Jun, You are here.”
” Come with me.” Jun Tianyun didn’t elaborate as he got on a sports bike. ” Sit.”
” Yes!”
Saito became excited as he sat behind Jun Tianyun. The bike instantly turned into a blur as they soon came outside of the city.
” Uncle Jun, Are you really going to train me?!” Saito asked in an excited voice.
” I really want to do those cool sword moves which that big sister did. Or, like you teleported right before my house. Hell, How did you do that?”
” Well, Don’t worry. I came here to teach you obviously.” Jun Tianyun chuckled as he threw a bronze token at him.
” This…Didn’t this token fly towards me that night?” Saito asked in a surprised voice.
” Drop your blood on it.”
” Uh…Are you sure?”
” Just do it!”
*BOOM! BOOM!”
Suddenly, flames burst around the seal, making Saito throw the seal from his hands. However, the seal remained stuck to his palm like glue.
” Ahhh! I am going to burn! It’s burning!”
” Close your eyes and focus!” Jun Tianyun spoke in a calm voice, making Saito shut instantly.
Saito felt the flame wasn’t hurting him at all, making him fascinated with it.
Suddenly, the flames turned into a small beast as it stood on his palm.
” Are you the one who awakened me? Are you the one who carries the bloodline of the great ancient onmyoji clan?”
” What are you talking about? I don’t think I have something like that, right?” Saito was stunned as he replied.However, the flame beast shook his head.
” No, I can feel it…Your bloodline already started to awaken. According to my past contract, I shall guide you to become a true onmyoji and defeat the evil lurking in the world.”
” Therefore, I must train you and you help me to regain my power, isn’t that good?”
” Then, What should I call you?” Saito looked at it and asked.
” I am now your shikigami. It’s up to you what you want to call me.” The flame beast replied.
” How about Flamey?”
” No.”
” But you said I can name you.” Saito became speechless. ” Flamey, It’s your name from now.”
Jun Tianyun rubbed his forehead when he heard the conversation between Flamey and Saito.
‘ What is this? Slapstick shounen comedy?’
” Ahem, Uncle Jun, What should I do with it now?” Saito looked at Jun Tianyun and asked.
” Uncle Jun? Who is…”
Flamey turned around and saw Jun Tianyun, its eyes turned wide. ” Yo-You are…You are the one who forcefully awakened me!”
Although Flamey was sealed inside the token, he could still feel the gigantic divine sense peering into it, looking at him with a curious gaze.
And that same feeling he felt from Jun Tianyun, making him sure that he was the one who discovered him.
‘ That gaze…It was no less than a celestial being. How came he walk around here like a human?’ Flamey screamed in his heart.
” Eh, Just stick with him. With his guidance, you will soon become powerful.” Jun Tianyun waved his hands as he passed a bottle to him.
” What’s this?” Saito asked curiously.
” Mix a drop in a bottle of water and drink it during your training session. It will multiply your result by five times.” Jun Tianyun chuckled.
” Don’t drink directly. Otherwise, you will explode into tiny bits.”
What Jun Tianyun gave him was a bottle of highly concentrated Body Strengthening Fluid. He asked him to dilute it before drinking because drinking too much might affect Saito’s body.
Besides, he should give the protagonist the chance to grow up slowly, right?
” Also, Take this. This will help you in your endeavor.” Jun Tianyun took out a small wooden sword and passed it to Saito.
Although it was made up of wood, the sword looked exquisite, as if it was the perfect replica of a short katana.
” What an exquisite craftsmanship. The runes etched on the sword…They feel imbued with the powerful power of lightning and fire.” Flamey spoke in a low voice.
” Master, You should accept it. It will help you by a great deal.”
” Master? Me?” Saito rubbed under his nose as his grin became wider. ” Well, Now I am feeling like a hero.”
” Hmph, If you don’t work hard in the future, You won’t be my Master.” Flamey spoke.
Jun Tianyun’s forehead was covered with black lines when he heard the conversation.
‘ Why do I feel this Flamey going to turn into a beautiful girl after it becomes evolved?’
‘ Nope! I have decided. I won’t let Sayu go near Saito anymore. I don’t want my daughter to be a heroine.’ Jun Tianyun thought inwardly.
If he wanted, he can simply take away all the fate of Saito like he did with other protagonists. However, He liked the personality of Saito and he was also the friend of Sayu.
So, Jun Tianyun decided to spare the kid.
” Anyway, Aren’t you bunking the school too much?” Jun Tianyun glanced at him. ” Do you want to be a delinquent?”
” Well, I am not that bad in studies. And…I just love fightning.” Saito scratched his head as his expression changed.
” Oh, Shit! I forgot about that bastard. Uncle Jun, I need to go to school immediately. Someone owes me a good solid punch.”
” Haah…This brat.” Jun Tianyun sighed as he nodded. ” Alright, Let’s go.”

Meanwhile, In the Ousei Academy…
” Kokkuri San, Are you here?”
” Huh? Look! The coin is moving! It’s getting so…Warm…”
The girls played the infamous Kokkuri game with fascination, unable to see a dark mist emerging from the board.
” Ahh…The smell of the vessel…It’s here. That girl…Where is she?”
