Chapter 16 Nura Rihan

Dragons are not very social creatures, even amongst their own kind. The bonds of familial kinship were also not very strong among dragons. Dragons would randomly find a place to lay eggs and leave them there, or kicked them out of the nest a year or two after they were born. Right now a man is asking it to lend it's strength; fighting for someone else...This never entered it's mind.

Hannya clad in blue cloak flapping with the wind along with a three-eyed, three-tailed wolf hanging around his shoulders like a shawl. Pitting the back of his sword in his shoulder while his other hand was raised near his chest waiting for the Scarlet Dragons reply.

As part of Dragon Race it innately got the attitude of someone at the top of food chain and won't easily lower down it's head even at the face of death.

Hannya frowned after seeing the Scarlet Dragon hesitate, he walked towards the Scarlet Dragon's Head and whisper something which cause it's eye to widen in surprise.

"Interesting, why do you think you can achieve that?" Scarlet Dragon replied after awhile. Holding back itself from shaking from excitement.

"Simply because I'm Nurarihyon." he replied.

"I think this is the first time I met someone as self-centered and arrogant as you Hahaha.... but I like it! Interesting! I shall join this Night parade of yours and watch with my own eyes whether you can reach the top or fall to hell. Hahah."

When the Scarlet Dragon accepted his invitation. The notification from the system rang in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations Host for completing the Hidden Mission. Recruit the Scarlet Dragon into the Nura Clan.]

[Linking Fear Cultivation Manual levelled up to level 3/10]

[Ding! Congratulations Host for conquering the Scarlet Dragon Range

Rewards: Garasu Tengu Clan Summoning Token/ Nura Rihan (child version) Special Summoning Token]

This time Hannya was rooted in his place. His eyes focused on the name "Nura Rihan". He communicated with the system.

'Are you trying to make me a single father now? How can I explain this to everyone.'

[Host doesn't have to worry, no one will think it's strange for you to have a child.]

'That's not the point. How should I tell Setsura about this?'

[...]

'What the...'

"Nurarihyon-sama."

"Supreme Commander"

Hannya sensed someone calling him.

Someone tugged his cloak. Opening his eyes he saw Setsura looking at him with worried eyes.

"Do you have any injuries?" She asked while carefully inspecting his body. He woke from being dazed and replied with a smile: "I'm alright."

Throwing everything at the back of his head, Hannya looked at the Scarlet Dragon:"How long do you need to recuperate?"

Closing it's eyes for awhile feeling the extent of it's injuries and replied:"One Day is enough."

Hannya nodded his head:"So what is your name? Calling you Scarlet Dragon is really inconvenient."

Scarlet Dragon avoided Hannya's eyes, it snorted and replied with arrogance:"I don't need a name, such thing is pointless."

Hannya nodded as if he understand and simply replied: "Right, right. So from now on your called Ddraig, that's the name of the Red Dragon Emperor of Domination."

Scarlet Dragon was about to refuse the name but when he heard the title "Red Dragon Emperor of Domination" he stopped.

Stolen novel; please report.

Hannya knew that Dragons love Domineering names so he added it when he gave it's name.

"I'll be back tomorrow." Leaving that message behind he left with Gyuki and Setsura.

Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range, Nura Headquarters

"Used the Nura Rihan Special Summoning Token." After pondering for an hour Nura reached a conclusion and with Great Determination summoned his son. Summoning circle appeared in the room covered with smoke.

"Yaaawn!"

What came out of the summoning circle was a sleepy yawn, when the smoke dispersed what appeared was a child looking around 10 years of age.

While looking at the little guy's appearance, Hannya couldn't help but click his tongue with amazement as he simply resembles him but the kid's long curly hair didn't stick up and instead falls down while the back is tied in a long ponytail. The hair on the front of his head also covers the right half of his face.

He's just like a small version of Nurarihyon, however, his hair is purely black and more wavy. Rihan eyes are amber like color. He is wearing a kimono with green and black stripes.

"Oyaji!"

This sleepy kid immediately became lively the moment he saw Hannya.

Hannya looked at Rihan's Status.

[Name: Nura Rihan] [Human Form]

[Age: 10]

[Race: Nurihyon]

[Uniqueness: Nura Clan Young Master]

[Cultivation: Sky Profound Realm 10th Stage]

[Skills:Kyōka Suigetsu Lv.1, Ougi Meikyō Shisui (locked), Spirit Guardian: Senbonyamabuki (locked)]

[Passive Skills: Basic Elegant Swordsmaship Lv.1]

Hannya felt as if he was struck by lightning, he muttered to himself: "So that's why it's called Special Summoning Token, even without the 'Linking Fear Cultivation Technique' this guy already had such strength enough to be termed as monstrous genius. If this guy come with him to Floating Cloud City, the events would become more interesting. He ruffled Rihan's hair and turned his attention into the skill: "Zanpakuto: Yamabuki" which is currently locked. He asked the system the requirements to unlock the spirit skill.

[Ding! Requirements to unlock: Spiritual Sword]

...

When Setsura discovered Rihan she was shocked, the memories that she had was only around the time when Hannya was still at his peak, before he met Yohime, so she have no memories of Rihan but she can feel that this little guy was related to Nurarihyon by blood just from looking at his face.

She asked Rihan in a low voice: "Are you the Supreme Commander's little brother?"

Rihan innocently looked Setsura and replied: "I'm his son."

Setsura felt the sense of loss, powerlessness and despair!

At that moment, Rihan was confused about her sudden action, however as a little gentleman he walked close to her and grabbed her leg just as her boiling rage was wandering without a direction to go, threatening to destroy everything.

Then, with a pure and naive voice, he spoke what was on his mind: "Beautiful Nee-san" He raised his head to look at Setsura. His handsome and amber eyes looked extremely cute.

Setsura deeply loved Nurarihyon, so it was a critical hit at that time. Marvelously, Setsura heart which turned cold melted down like ice cream under the hot sun, she couldn't make herself stay mad at this cute child.

"It's not nee-san."

Setsura lowered her head and met his gaze and spoke in a gentle voice trying to coerce Rihan, just like a pedophile old man trying to coerce little kids with candy.

"Call me mom from now on."

"Huh?"

The child, who was at a loss at what to say after hearing what Setsura said, Hannya who appeared at this time froze, Rihan ran towards him in joy and stopped in front of him.

"Oyaji."

"Rihan"

Beads of sweat formed on his forehead. He slowly looked at Setsura and sighed in relief after seeing that she didn't seem to be angry.

"Nurarihyon~sama, you can just leave Rihan to me." She smiled innocently.

"Y-yeah." Hannya lost his composure a bit at the sudden change of attitude. He had a bad feeling about this and left in a flash..

When it's only Rihan and Setsura left, her plan slowly formed in her head. It doesn't matter who this child belongs to as long he calls her mom.

"Rihan, call me mom. Mo-m."

"But it's nee-san…"

...

Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range, Prohibited Region

Ddraig laid outside the cave when it noticed 3 black dots descending from the sky.

Hannya descended accompanied by Rihan and a black anthropomorphic crow, he had a dark red tokin on his forehead. He wears a traditional creme colored robe, with prayer beads around his neck and tabi on his feet. His large wings retracted when they reached the ground.

It's none other than Karasu Tengu who was summoned by Hannya right after he summoned Rihan.

"Woah..Dragon.." Rihan's amber eyes shone with amazement. His figure turned into blur and dissappear from Karasu Tengu's grasp. The next thing Karasu-tengu noticed Rihan's already in front of Ddraig.

"Rihan-sama." With a flash Karasu Tengu appeared beside Rihan while looking warily at Ddraig.

Ddraig observed the two figure who he saw for the first time, one is a unique beast he had never seen or heard before while the other one is a child that looks familiar.. He then glance at Hannya and then back to Rihan. Then a sudden realization shone in his eyes..

He looked at Hannya: "Is this your child?"

"Yeah." Hannya affirmed without a change in expression: "We will be going to Floating Cloud City. Are you coming along?"

Ddraig looked perturbed and asked: "What will you do in that small city?"

"I need to recover something that I left and remove a future hindrance." Replied Hannya with decisiveness.

"What's your plan after?" Ddraig asked. He didn't put Floating Cloud City in his eyes so he doesn't want to come.

"I'll be going to Moon City."

If that's the case, I'll come along at that time."
