Asanuma claws from above, and Ken deflects it back, Asanuma's powerful attack can be stopped again by Ken almost without flinching. Asanuma looked annoyed, he then continued to attack repeatedly, from above, right and left. Due to his large feet, Ken appears to be able to easily block Asanuma's attacks, using his grandfather's katana. Even though Asanuma had attacked with all his might, Ken appeared to be able to fend it off almost unmoving. Asanuma doesn't appear to have any signs of stopping his barrage of attacks, Ken immediately thinks of how to defeat Asanuma.
Asanuma clawed again from above, Ken managed to block it, and now holding back Asanuma's claws with his katana. Not stopping, Ken then threw Asanuma's leg. Due to this, Asanuma's attack holding then bounced and made him stunned for a while, leaving his defenses open to attack. Ken immediately took advantage of this opportunity, he dashed toward Asanuma. After Asanuma entered his attack range, Ken slashed his katana from above. Seeing this, Asanuma immediately parried Ken's attack using his right front foot.
Ken and Asanuma appeared to hold each other attack, Ken then threw Asanuma's block with his katana sword, as if Ken's strength was greater. Ken launches another attack, but Asanuma can parry every of Ken's attacks with ease, using his large forelegs. Asanuma increasingly knew Ken's attack pattern, Asanuma then parried Ken's attack, and immediately threw it, and Ken was thrown a few meters back. Seeing this, Asanuma immediately continued to attack and aimed for Ken who was still falling. Asanuma stabbed his claws at Ken, Ken immediately pointed his sword to the top of his body. Asanuma's claws collided again with Ken's sword, and his movement stopped. Asanuma thought to himself
"Damn it, after all, I can't surpass the power of that sword"
Ken blocked Asanuma's attack, he then pushed him up, then threw him. Asanuma appeared to be jerking backward, Ken immediately got up from his fall, and moved quickly backward, away from Asanuma's attack range. Ken returned to his stance, and pointed his sword forward, it appeared that Ken's breathing was quite heavy, and he tried to fix his breathing.
On the other hand, Asanuma appeared to remain standing in his place, while watching Ken with a sharp gaze, Ken returned a look, not taking his eyes off Asanuma's movements. However, it wasn't long before Asanuma smiled
"Okay, I give up, you win"
Hearing this, Ken's expression turned surprised. Asanuma then used the grip of his right forefoot, then broke one of the pieces of armor on his left forefoot. Seeing this, made Ken even more surprised. Asanuma then dropped a piece of his armor skin, a two square meter boulder in front of Ken, making a loud noise, cracking, and shattering the concrete surface, indicating that this boulder was heavy. Asanuma said
"I think that chunk is enough to make your Yokai weapon"
Ken looks nervous
“Thanks for giving it to me”
Makoto clapped his hands and walked over to Ken and Asanuma. It appears that Makoto's actions immediately caught the attention of Ken and Asanuma. Makoto said
"Well done Ken, I didn't think Asanuma would give up so quickly"
Hearing this, Asanuma looked annoyed
“Huh, there's no need to push myself for this forced-to-draw battle”
Makoto smiled
"That part of your body will be a good Yokai weapon for Ken"
Ken looked surprised
"Parts of the body? Isn't this piece of Asanuma's armor?"
If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
Makoto replied
"It looks like that, but that armor naturally formed on Asanuma's body, just like his skin"
Ken replied with an understanding nod. Asanuma said
"While you guys are talking, let me sleep first, I've had a lot of energy used today"
Ken replied
"Of course, Asanuma"
Asanuma replied with a nod. Asanuma then took a sleeping position, black smoke began to evaporate from all over his body. This smoke then enveloped Asanuma's body, then gradually reduced and disappeared. From this puff of smoke that disappeared, glove puppet Asanuma appeared to be lying on the floor, the remaining black smoke was then sucked back into this glove puppet. Ken walks over to the glove puppet Asanuma and notices that Asanuma's eyes on his chibi glove puppet are closed, indicating that Asanuma is asleep. Ken then picked it up from the concrete floor. From behind Ken, Makoto said
"Congratulations on your success in this practice"
Ken immediately turned to face Makoto. Makoto continues talking
"Can I have my Katana sword back?"
Ken nodded, he then handed the katana that belonged to his grandfather back to him. Makoto said
"That's enough for today. Next, is training around Yokai weapons, and at the same time, also making a Yokai weapon for you”
Ken's facial expression turned curious
"Then, what about that chunk of Asanuma's body? I mean, his armor skin?"
Makoto crossed his hand, he then turned to the chunk of Asanuma armor skin that had given
"You just leave this to me, Ken, let me take care of it"
Makoto looked back at Ken, Ken then gave a nod.
The current time is 8:00 pm. Ken appears to be lying on his bed, with his left hand being used as a pillow, and his right hand wearing the glove puppet Asanuma. Ken appears to be lying down while looking at the glove puppet Asanuma in his right hand, whose eyes on the glove puppet are still closed like he is sleeping. Ken said
"Asanuma's been sleeping for a long time..."
Ken then removed the glove puppet Asanuma from his right hand and got up from his bed. Ken then put the glove puppet Asanuma on the table in this room. Ken walked towards the window door, then walked out, onto the balcony in front of his window door, he then rests on the balcony railing here. Ken looked at the night sky, it appeared that the stars were quite clearly visible in the sky. Before long, there appeared to be a shooting star phenomenon in the sky, in a short time. Seeing this, Ken looked a little surprised
"There's a shooting star, there's nothing wrong with making a wish I guess…"
Ken then closed his eyes. Before long, Ken opened his eyes again. Ken looked up at the sky with a happy expression on his face. Before long, a voice came from behind Ken
"You look happy huh?"
Ken was surprised because he heard a familiar voice. Ken immediately turned around, and his expressions then change to surprise.
Ken saw Asanuma in front of him walking through the window door to the balcony where Ken was, who was only the size of a wolf in general. Ken didn't appear to expect it
"Asanuma? What's with your size?"
Asanuma looked surprised
"You don't think my size is permanent are you?"
Ken just shook his head. Asanuma then took a sitting position
“Can be said, I'm in energy-saving mode, so even if my powers haven't fully recovered, I can still appear”
Ken looked confused before long his expression changed to surprise
“Wait a minute, how did you just appear? Even though I didn't call you?"
Asanuma replied
“I almost forgot if this was your first. So, if our bond gets closer, sometimes, you don't really need to call me, for me to appear. With just you saying anything, your voice will become a source of light that guides me and shows me the way, so that I can get out”
Ken appeared a little surprised to hear this, he then nodded
“So that is… you could say we're close friends now?”
Asanuma replied
"Yes, maybe…"
Ken walked over to Asanuma, Ken then kneeling in front of Asanuma. Ken looks very interested in Asanuma's size like this, Asanuma just looks at Ken flatly. Ken then held out his right hand while cupping his right hand up toward Asanuma
“Try shaking hands”
Hearing this, Asanuma's expression turned astonished
"You don't think I'm like a pet do you?"
Ken smiled while shaking his head
"Of course not, you are my best friend"
Asanuma closed his eyes for a moment as he sighed. Asanuma then took Ken's right hand with his right front leg, and they then shook hands. Because of this, Ken looks happy, he then stroked Asanuma's head. On the other hand, Asanuma looked a little annoyed. Ken realized something, he then said
"It's rare for you to meet me in this form, do you need something?"
Asanuma replied
"I just want to talk. You know, I haven't done this in a long time. You don't find it strange talking to a wolf, do you?”
Ken looked a little surprised, he then thought to himself
“Asanuma had been locked up in the shrine on the hillside behind the Takeru family's main house, who knows how long it had been…”
Ken then said
"Of course, why not"
Ken said while smiling at Asanuma. On the other hand, Asanuma appeared a little awkward hearing this.
