(POV Alexander)
It had been a few days since Kushinada left with Yami's other two Masters to try to get the entire organization to participate in the tournament. I had already fulfilled my goal of completing the mission that was left incomplete last time, so I thought it was time to end the things of this world now.
…It would be quite tedious to have to wait for each of them to decide to show themselves, and I don't have that much time either. Perhaps the only downside was that this would also speed things up for Kenichi to face Yomi, but that was a risk I was willing to take... even if he doesn't think the same as me.
Either way, I don't think it would be that dangerous… probably. My current goal is not to defeat those guys, but to recruit a good number of Masters. I think they would be quite useful in Gaia for me.
And while I do that, I can also take the opportunity to try to cross the barrier that prevents me from reaching a Soul level 2. Since my fight with Cockroach- kun I have felt that I was closer to doing so, I probably just need one last push for that.
Speaking of that swordsman… I honestly completely forgot about him. It wasn't until a few days ago that Kushinada was going to leave to meet Yami's other "Fists" that I remembered his existence.
More precisely, I saw him standing outside the front door of her house. H-He hadn't been standing there like a stalker all this time, had he?
...unfortunately, everything indicated that this was the case. I felt a little bad for him since while I was having a happy life as a resident of Kushinada, this man was waiting there all the time.
The good thing is the weather has been good lately...
However, as his leader, I believed it was my responsibility to offer him a place to stay. But since Kushinada doesn't like having strangers in her house and I didn't want him to spoil my good time with her either, I decided to make a little house for this guy to stay there.
...Chikage-chan's eyes as I did so hurt me a bit.
In fact, this girl has been a little scared of me since what happened in the bathroom with Kushinada. It must have been too shocking to see me attack her from behind while she made some extraordinary moans… no, it probably even left her a little trauma!
The days after that, every time she saw me, she would completely paralyze...
It wasn't until several days later that she started to act a little more normal when I was around her… now she was only staying a few feet away from me.
"See, Chikage-chan, I told you he would like it"
"..."
Since it was a bit awkward that she was staying so far away from me, I decided to start talking to her. Seriously, this hurts me a bit. It's not like I'm going to attack her, you know? I have my own standards with girls… she is certainly cute, but she needs time to develop splendidly as Kushinada!
Apparently she is related to her, so I think her future will be a very good one. But for that, it takes several years. My only feeling towards her now was like a little sister.
I thought she would think better of me to the view that I was a responsible person to take care of his subordinates, but this does not seem to work much... in fact, she walks away a little more of me... w-what I did wrong?!!
"I-Is him your pet or… something like that?"
"E-Eh? Of course not! "
"..."
Now that I look at it more closely... Cockroach- kun's little house certainly looked like a kind of kennel... the same that is placed in the garden, just a little bigger. Since he didn't seem to mind and sat calmly inside it, I might have overlooked this.
…He wasn't picky and had a pretty simple mindset, so I didn't think about things much either.
Either way, I think the misunderstanding should be quickly fixed or Chikage- chan impression of me could worsen even more! Besides, I never really thought of treating Cockroach-kun like my pet!
Besides, he was not cute at all to think of him as my pet! I have a cute Harpy and a Goul as pets, and they both don't compare to him. He is simply not worthy of being in the same position as them!!
"Why would I treat him as a pet?
I have two… cute girls to pet and give them plenty of love, so why would I want him as another pet?! "
"..."
"..."
...when I try to undo the misunderstanding, she walks away still more of me as the gaze in her eyes was the same as if watching someone very dangerous...
Yes, when I observe her reaction to my words, I understand that my choice of words was not the more suitable... but this is not entirely my fault! When I was talking, I realized that would be a little strange to say something like monsters, Harpy, or Goul in this world!
So I could only say the first thing with which I could identify those two...
"I-It's not what you think, Chikage -chan… it's a misunderstanding!"
"...p-please don't get any closer"
"..."
…Trying to get closer to her to explain things better, her body begins to shake and she takes 3 steps back for every step I approach… I have no choice but to stop.
"We have returned"

Then when the situation in the place had become quite uncomfortable, the three who had left return and enter. I was happy that with this maybe the atmosphere will return a little more to normal, but... before I can greet Kushinada, Chikage -chan runs towards her as if looking for help and then speaks.
"M-Master... I-I knew it, he's dangerous!"
"" ... ""
…This looked a bit wrong, and my instincts didn't fool me! Kushinada looks at me while narrowing her eyes, releasing her aura a bit, and then she begins to question me!
"Alexander... what have you done? If you did something to Chikage while I was gone, then… then you will have to take responsibility for her as well. "
"E-Eh? Do not! I didn't do anything to her!!
T-This is just a misunderstanding, Kushinada… I swear ”
" Kukuku... you were so bored that you started to bully the little girl, boy?"
“…Don't make things worse, Ogata. I am not a lolicon like a certain man who only surrounds himself with young boys and girls.
Instead of wasting time, start saying how things went or train with me."
Well, Kushinada didn't seem so angry... otherwise, now that she started showing emotions, she would surely have thrown herself at me if she was angry. Still, I didn't want to continue that topic and risk making that happen. Better to change the subject.
"Everything went well, in a few days the tournament will start and all the Masters of Yami, some of the armed faction, and other Masters of the world like those of the Ryozanpaku will be invited to assist"
" Kukuku... sounds good, why don't we practice a bit?"
The one that answered my question was Kushinada. It seems that things have gone the way I wanted. Now we just have to wait a bit to finish things in this world!
…As for Ogata, it seems that he doesn't quite like my previous words as I probably touch a soft nerve for mentioning his strange fondness of gathering young people.
Well, since fighting Cockroach- kun was a bit dangerous and that didn't help me much to practice my martial arts other than swordplay, it was good that Ogata was here.
Also, maybe I could learn some new techniques from him… this guy was a martial arts otaku and he liked getting moves from others. So he probably has some good things with him.
With that thought in mind, everyone except for Cockroach-kun who stays inside his house watching his sword, we go inside the dojo.

" Waaah~ T-This place looks huge..."
"B-Besides, it looks quite luxurious."
" Huahahahaha... this will be the place where the [ Shinpaku ] will be announced to everyone!!"
The day for the disciple tournament finally arrives and we traveled to a private island of one person where it would take place. Well, this was thanks to Bishounen-kun who was our group's wallet. Furthermore, all the boys who participated in Alien-kun's underworld arena, which was quite lively lately, also decided to come.
“…Kushinada, why doesn't Yami just crush the Ryozanpaku with money? I think that would be quite easy for them"
"Well... I think that would be quite easy... and also meaningless"
…Seeing this place, I couldn't help but think about that. As some of the guys say, this place was like a pretty luxurious tourist island… seriously, if Yami had that much money, why not just bomb the Ryozanpaku? I think they could afford to do something like that with the resources they show now.
For some reason, they didn't seem to share my way of thinking. Honestly, the easier and simpler something can be solved, then the better, right?
Well… maybe those guys can even deflect missiles or things like that. Perhaps it would be needed a nuclear-level weapon to kill them? Especially for that I old... he no longer should be considered a human.
Although, that was just a thought. It also wouldn't be good for it to happen since Shigure and Miu-chan are there.
" Apapa~ This is delicious~!"
"Beer is very good too!"
"U-n... it's a good place"
"S-So many beautiful women… Shoua ~ Shoua ~"
" Dad, stop~!! "
“A- Akisame-shisiho, s-shouldn't we stop them? W-We are in enemy territory! F-Food or drinks may be poisoned!! "
“ Fufufu… don't worry, Kenichi-kun. I don't think Yami would do something like that. "
" Hohoho… besides, I don't think they are so naive to believe that it would affect one of us."
"N-No! W-We have to stop them! H-How will we pay for all those things? T-The money that Alexander- kun gave us earlier has run out now!! "
"... Furinji-san, it seems that... everything here is free..."
"E-Eh? Seriously?!! "
… When we go further into the place, we meet the people of the Ryozanpaku. Or rather… it was very difficult not to notice them. Most of them looked like subjects who had been locked up all their lives and are finally coming out now...
On the other hand, I was a bit surprised that they were already here… we had left before them and we had used Tanimoto's ship and not a rowboat like them, you know? Once again I realize that I shouldn't treat them like humans… it's like the old man says, a normal poison probably wouldn't affect those guys.
I wanted Shigure, Miu-chan, and Renka-chan to come with me because I thought it would be faster and safer than that self-made wooden boat, but I ended up getting rejected. While the first two girls just wanted to join their friends and family to show their support and unity, this last girl did it more because she was a little mad at me.
...I can't blame her, I think I had neglected her a bit since we came to this world. Well, this is one of the demerits of trying to make a harem, it is impossible to be with all the girls at the same time... I'll have to find a moment to try to lessen her anger.
Although… it should be at another time. Now she seemed quite busy trying to chase after her father to avoid him embarrass her more… Master Ma was moving around with his camera to photograph any girl who caught his eye.
Also, while she was doing that, her blonde partner looked worried seeing everyone start eating or drinking the things that some girls or men wearing service uniforms brought on silver trays ... she can only calm down when Izumi-san tells her that things here are for free.
...the truth is that I felt a little sorry for those two. They both had their own problems… and even though I don't want to admit it, now I was probably one of them too.
"We should sign up for the tournament ... "
""Yes""
…I'm sorry, but I didn't want other people to think I was coming with them! But it wasn't just me, the others also seemed to have the same thought as mine! So after Kushinada's words, we move to another place leaving that scene.
