Chapter 24

In the deep esteemed forest of Aokigahara, Buchimaru, the supreme commander of the mist have been sensing a faint energy emanating from another supreme commander. It was faint, but it was enough for him to distinguish the owner of that yokai energy.

The spiritual yokai energy doesn't belong to Kurohime, Shirayukihime, Shouten Doji, Kisuke, and Byakuya. So it just means that the owner of that faint supreme commander energy was the new leader of the 'Kitsune clan' Kurohime was talking about.

In the castle situated in the heart of the blood forest Aokigahara, the Minagoroshi Jizo was sipping his tea as he looked from a far. He can already feel the change of the wind and soon, this silence would be disrupted once more. Because of the awakening of the Demon Emperor Dragneel and he was a formidable foe.

Buchimaru and the other six supreme commanders fought the great and powerful Demon Emperor Dragneel, together with the demon lords and other races in Greffania three thousand years ago.

The battle was fierce and destructive, many lives were lost and the lands were scarred. Many cities, towns, and villagers turned to rumble because of the war between the demon emperor Dragneel and the residence of Greffania.

Even though they were so many against demon emperor Dragneel, they all have fallen into their knees. Tamamo No Mae, the late supreme commander of the storm, and the ruler of her Kyuubi No Kitsune Hyakki Yagyo, was known in Greffania to be the most evil yokai but helped the other races and use every bits of her power to vanquish and sealed the demon emperor Dragneel.

According to the legendary story of the foxes, once a fox achieved all ten tails, the fox will turned into a fox god and have powers comparable to the gods.

Tamamo No Mae, a nine tailed fox forced herself to attain and reached ten tailed fox to defeat demon emperor Dragneel.

The valiant fox fought for her kitsune clan and her night parade of the nine tailed fox. She doesn't care about the other races aside from the yokai, but she still stood up and fought with the King of disaster, demon emperor Dragneel.

Tamamo No Mae won't let the demon emperor Dragneel destroy Greffania were her fellow yokai resides. She was known as the mother yokai and she will protect the yokai like they were her own children.

The consequence of force summoning her ten tails was her life. After receiving her last tail; she possessed power than can rival the gods. It was true that she was able to fend off the emperor Dragneel with the help of the great heroes, great demon lords and the other members of the seven supreme commanders.

And now, Silverietta the priestess elf and one of the ten great demon lords brought news about the awakening of the demon emperor and made a big uproar to the seven supreme commanders, specially to Shouten Doji. Who was the Greatest Oni and the supreme commander of lightning.

And he was known to be the lover of Tamamo No Mae, late nine tailed leader of the Kitsune clan. The Greatest Oni was furious and angered about the news, because in his point of view, Tamamo No Mae's death was turned in vain because it didn't end the life of demon emperor completely.

"Buchimaru-sama?" a soft voice coming from a karasu tengu called.

The voice who called out to Minagoroshi Jizo brought him back from his reverie of thoughts to reality. He didn't gaze at the tengu but continued to look at his vast forest.

"The nine tailed fox is near." The old man yokai stated as a creepy smile flashed in his lips.

The yokai who were watching and listening to their supreme commander were so shock and bewildered. Some of these yokai were there when Minagoroshi Jizo and his companions battled the demon emperor Dragneel.

"Isn't Tamamo no Mae dead already?" a Kasha yokai said in a very bewildered voice.

Kasha was a cat yokai, which were often accompanied by lightning and hell fires burning in their bodies like a torch. They were large cat and love stealing corpses for either consumption or use the corpse to animate as their puppets.

"She was dead, and it was a great loss for our kind. She was the mother yokai after all. She loved all the yokai like we were her own children." Buchimaru stated in a bitter voice.

Even though other races deemed Tamamo No Mae as the most evil yokai in the history of Greffania, in the eyes of the yokai she was their goddess. She was their savior and forever they will be honoring the late ten tailed fox.

"A new nine tailed fox is going to be born." Minagoroshi Jizo told his clan in an ambiguous voice.

"What? Aren't the kitsune (fox) yokai will never reach eight to nine tails because of Demon Emperor Dragneel's curse?!" other yokai stated and can't comprehend what their leader was saying.

"Enough with this matter. Prepare the carriage because the monthly meeting of the six supreme commanders is going to be held in Shouten Doji mountains." Buchimaru said as if saying that he doesn't want to talk about that topic.

He could already imagine Kurohime glaring and yelling at him because of sharing the information about the new supreme commanders to other yokai. And he won't want that to happen because the great tengu was really an annoying pest, once she started running that mouth of hers it will be your end.

My mind can't still digest that these two powerful rulers in front of me were the king and queen of the elven kingdom. According to my <<Great Sage>> archive, Xaverious Eis Phelise was the forty fifth king of the elven kingdom 'Haillounia' and he reigned for almost five hundred of years together with his wife, Sheriolliefa Eis Phelise. But yet, these people in front of me looked like they were just in their late twenties.

What kind of age defying lotion, vitamins and moisturizer were they using? Can I use it too?

Kidding aside, the king and queen were more delighted by my presence when they learned that I am not only an ordinary human but one of the seven great supreme commanders in the yokai world.

They told me that they don't condemn yokai because Greffania wouldn't be the way it is today if it was not for that formidable and amazing yokai name 'Tamamo No Mae'. They were fascinated by the yokai race because it was a combination of different races.

I wanted to ask who that Tamamo No Mae was, but there was a voice inside of me and telling me it was not the right time for me to know. I tried to rummage in my archive for information about that heroic yokai, but it was futile, Tamamo No Mae was not registered in my <<Great Sage>>.

Did I really have the intelligence with SS rank? Why don't I have information about that heroic yokai?!

If there was something like that happened in the past, I guess the humans were trying their best to erased Tamamo No Mae's greatness in the history of Greffania. Now I am more curious about that highly regarded yokai.

I together with the king and queen continued our little chitchat. The elven king and queen told me that Aokigahara forest was ruled by one of the seven great supreme commanders 'Buchimaru'.

As they were saying that, I was wondering what kind of yokai he is. And what would happen if the two of us would meet?

I bet the moment I step on his land; he will surely know that we were in his territory.

Will he become my foe? Or my friend? Can he answer my questions about why I become a clan leader and a supreme commander of yokai? Or will he ridicule me because a human managed to become a supreme commander.

I was wondering what my party members were doing right now, were they having fun without me? And I wonder if Ashgrif and Shouto were socializing my party members, I guess not. Shouto would just turn them to ice or burn them to crisp, and Ashgrif would definitely devoured them if they'll get to those two's bad side.

The royal king and queen instantly agreed to my proposal for an alliance between my Kitsune Clan and the elven country 'Haillounia'. I was really delighted and overjoyed by the outcome but there were still questions running in my mind.

Who really is Silverietta? Can the demon emperor be killed? What kind of yokai is Minagoroshi Jizo? Is he a friend or foe?

Series of questions and internal conflicts were running amok, like wild and feral beasts and it was giving me a headache and making me crazy.

"Because you are in a hurry milady, Zariyah of the kitsune clan, in finding the materials and ingredients for the poison that befall to your country. We will hold up the official announcement for our alliance for now." the queen her majesty stated in her melodic voice.

What the queen said was true, for now the alliance and other matters would be discuss for another time. My priority was to gather the materials and ingredients of the antidote and not wave my proposal of an alliance to the elves. For now time is not our ally and time is gold.

I watched her and was memorizing each part of her beautiful face. I tried to appraise them both, but it was useless. <<God's Eyes>> was still not on its maximum level and because I can't appraise them, it just means these two royalties were far stronger than Ezekiel-sensei or they have a skill that masked their status screens.

"Lady Zariyah of the Kitsune clan, two weeks from now, we will hold an official meeting together with the high elven council about the plans for our alliance between my kingdom and your clan. The venue of the meeting would be here in our kingdom." The king said to me with excitement in his voice.

I can't really wait for that to happen. The prediction of Silverietta about the return of the demon emperor Dragneel was still poking in my brain. I wanted to be fully clarified and enlightened about what was going to happen in the near future. I know that elves were very good in gathering information and they were good in using devinations.

"Your highnesses, forgive me for being bold, but do you know of an elf named Silverietta?" my voice was now serious and I wanted them to answer my question.

When the two rulers heard what I said, recognition flashed and were obvious in their eyes. The sense of familiarity was all over this vast luxurious room. Silence engulfed us and it was ear deafening.

What I said might be a sensitive topic to them. Because if not, they could just answer my question right away. I wanted to slap my face because of what I asked them. Frustration was boiling in my system because I really hate my self right now. I am smart but sometimes my brain would go crazy and malfunction.

After a few seconds of awkward silence, it was the king who decided to break it. And I almost thank all the saints and gods in Greffania because of what the king did. It was really awkward if I am the one to break the silence.

"We know that elf, which they called the Elf High Priestess and a Prophetess, Silverietta. For that woman is a close relative of mine, to be more precise, she is my great grandmother. The sister of my late great grandfather, king Harlequin Eis Phelise III." King Xaverious said in a gentle voice.

There was a grace of faint smile in his lips as he said that. I can feel that king Xaverious loved his grandfather and the great elven sorceress, Silverietta.

"And why did you ask about her, my dear child?" the queen said to be with a soft voice and her eyes were very gentle.

It felt like she was seeing me not as an outsider but as an elves. There was this air of belonging surrounding us.

"My first warrior told me, that Silverietta foresaw and impending doom that is going to befall ten years or more from now." I trailed off and the two royalties looked at each other before looking at me.

The air in the atmosphere has become serious and I saw earlier the queen twitched when she heard about what I said.

"Are you talking about her prophesy of the awakening of the demon emperor Dragneel?" the king said in a serious voice.

There was fear in their eyes as they looked at me. Demon emperor Dragneel was really a fearsome opponent that even though the two royalties in front of me were scared of him. I nodded at what the king said and heaved a deep sigh.

"It is true. Silverietta foresaw the awakening of the demon emperor. She is now traveling the lands of Greffania, looking for potential fighters that can fight in front line, when the demon emperor Dragneel wakes up from his slumber." The royal king told me and he was really worried of what was about to come.

"My child, we will discuss everything about that in the meeting. For now, you should be joining your fellow members in the dinning hall. And I already told Haustine to aide you and lead you to your room here in the castle. In the afternoon we send you off to the foot of Aokigahara using 'Silpheia Lingien'. And we will also send some of our warrior elves to help you in finding the ingredients." The queen smiled at me, trying to reassure me.

Silpheia Lingien was an elven language means Sylph circle and the elven own version of faerie ring. It is a transportation spell that would protect the people with in from spatial fluctuation during the teleportation process. It also preserves the stamina of the ones being transported.

I know going deep in the Aokigahara forest in night time and without the help of the sun it would be hard to maneuver in the dense dangerous forest. But we were running out of time and we need all the time in the world for us to accomplish our mission.

Along they way of their conversation, they royalties asked me what the materials and ingredients needed for the antidote and told me that if they have those sort of things in their storage room, they would gladly give it to me.

When the king and queen saw the ingredients for the poison and they were shocked to see what the things were we needed to gather in the Aokigahara forest.

INGREDIENTS FOR THE ANTIDOTE

5x Fangs of Silver creamio wolf

1 Liter Venom of Inland Taipan Serpent

1kg. of Veriotte Sporeshroom

1 gallon of mucus from a Fire Tree Frog

1 sack of golden haville spirit grass

6 eyeballs of one horned black demon bear

15 petals of silver bellflower

A gallon of water from the Zarde river

The ingredients for the antidote were all hard to obtain, because according the royalties it was guarded by different kind of demons, sprites, faeries and yokai. The queen told me that the have petals of silver bellflowers and veriotte sporeshroom and plenty of Haville Spirit Grass.

Because of what the queen said, it lessens our job and I am very thankful to it. Later that dawn, I joined my members who were merrily waiting for me. I was astounded when I saw them chatting and still not eating even though a huge feast were already prepared in the big long table.

We have a rowdy and merry early breakfast, and I relayed to them what the queen told me about aiding us in our conquest to the Aokigahara. As I was explaining to my party members, I always got interrupted by the male elves who were serving us, why were they freakishly handsome men! Such handsomeness should be illegal!

Still Shouto is my bias!

Shortly afterwards, Shouto and I have a serious talk together about the upcoming meeting with the elven council and the royalties about our alliance with their kingdom. Shouto was really glad because I've managed to form an alliance with the elven country, having them backing us was a big asset.

Now, no other countries would dare to laid their hands on my yokai clan for those who will dare would face not only my wrath but also the elven kingdom Haillounia.

Even though day time was coming, we took the comfort of our rest because of our tiring journey from Klearione kingdom to the great capital of the elven kingdom, Haillounia. The magical capital of the elves was a sight to behold and it was like a priceless treasure, which can only be appreciated by sight.

It was already noon when I woke up; and my body felt heavy because of all the fighting with the group of bandits last night. Feeling gross because I didn't took a bath yesterday, I instantly got up.

But I was subsequently taken aback when I saw an elven maid came out from the bathroom of the room his king and her queen prepared for me. She was surprised as well when she saw me watching her.

"Good morning, lady Zariyah. I have already prepared your bath." The elf girl told me in a respectful voice.

She was a beautiful maid who was about fifteen to eighteen in human age. Her skin was flawless and her brown hair was shiny. I wonder if they already discovered conditioner, if yes then I can't introduce my beauty products to the queen. I was still planning to continue my business ventures.

The warm water and the scent of rose petals was heavenly, after that long journey it replenish all of my fatigue and cleanse all the dirt that clung to my beautiful and sexy body.

I know I am just twelve years old beautiful young lady but still my curves were starting to form in their right places. And I can't wait to grow up maturely like mother. She's such a gorgeous woman with voluptuous body that men would drool over and woman would envy. I want that kind of body!

When I finished my one hour bath, I subsequently dried my waist length silver hair and get dressed. I decided to wear the same black outfit like yesterday. Wearing a black tank top and black denim short shorts was comfortable to me because I can move freely and can perform my maximum output.

After a couple of tapping in my <<Dimensional Box>> for summoning my katana and my clothes. And at that time I was putting again my silver gauntlets and greaves and sabaton. I look like Emi in her half celestial form because I have the same silver hair like her, and the same silver gauntlets and greaves as well.

Using my skill <<Magic Perception>> I could tell that Ashgrif and Shouto were outside my room, standing and waiting for me. I wonder were Ashgrif slept yesterday. He wasn't at my side last night.

The creaking sound of the door signals my arrival. Both the Fenrir and Nekomata looked at me as if saying that we should go. As we made our way to the dinning hall for lunch, I can already see the figures of my party members.

When they saw me, they immediately greeted me good afternoon and asked if I slept well. They were smiling at me and it made feel happy, I am a simple individual and a small appreciation was enough to make my day happy.

The lunch was full of laughter and it was eventful. We ate together with the royal families and they were telling us to be careful when we entered the Aokigahara forest. I was wondering why the crown prince was not there to join us in our lunch. I wanted to ask the king and queen, but I just shut my mouth. I've already learned my lesson, that curiosity kills the cat, in a brutal way.
