I release a sigh and look out the window. Yesterday was a hectic day for all of us. Yasaka needs to spread her personnel across Japan to snoop around and search for any kind of evidence we can use against the Five Principle Clans.
Nurarihyon needs to return to Tokyo to prepare for his investigation and send his best unit around to snoop on so lead that he thought would give us so valuable information.
Today is a free day and also the beginning of the long weekend here in Japan. I wonder if I should visit my family back ho. I have five days to spend, and three days back ho would be great. You know? Let's do that.
I get up from my chair, put on so appropriate clothes, and then walk to Yasaka's palace.

"I see. You want to return to your hotown for the long weekend, huh?"
"Yup. My mom is already calling asking when I can return back ho."
"And you want to co with you, huh?"
"That's right! I want to introduce you to my parents."
"Are you sure?" She looks at right in the eyes, and I can see hesitation in her eyes. "Are you sure you want to et your parents? What if they did not accept ?"
I release a sigh and flick her forehead.
"They will accept you, Yasaka. You are a great woman. You are kind. You are great at cooking. You are a great mother. That is a perfect characteristic in any Asian Mom's eyes."
She smiles a little and hugs .
"I understand. Sadly, I cannot co with you, Ryan. As you can see, I am too busy at the mont. However, how about you take Asia and Kunou with you? I know they will be excited to see your hotown."
"I don't mind taking them. However, are you sure of sending them with without any protection?"
She laughs at my words and says,
"They already have the biggest protection. You will protect them, and I know you will not let anything harm them."
Damn right, I will not.
"They are also not that weak, you know? Kunou and Asia are working hard so they will not be a burden for the two of us."
"I see. Sure. I don't mind. I will show them my hotown. I think they will love it."
"Great! I will prepare the private jet and send three bodyguards who will be tailing the three of you from a distance. I hope you don't mind."
"Of course not. I am not arrogant enough to not accept any guard from you."
"Thank you, dear."
She kisses and smiles.
"Anyway, can you wait for three hours for the private jet to be prepared?"
"Wait. You want to prepare now, Yasaka? I plan to depart tomorrow morning."
"Yup. I want you to take the two of them now because I want to shake things up a bit in Kyoto, and I don't want soone to think sothing funny like trying to kidnap my daughter."
"I see. Sure. I will prepare now."
"Thank you, Ryan."
"Think nothing of it. I am more than happy taking care of our daughter."
"KYAAAAA~"
"Oi! Why are you jumping at ?! Argh, my back!"
=//=
"I am going to miss you, mother."
"Fufufu~ Don't say it like you will not see for years, dear."
"Hehehehe~"
I smile at the sight in front of . Yasaka and Kunou hug each other, and after a few seconds, she looks at Asia and then hugs her.
"Take care of Ryan, okay, Asia?"
"Of course, sister! I will make sure he did not do anything too outrageous."
I can only shake my head at their words and sayings.
"Oi! I am not that bad."
The two of them look at and then giggle a few seconds later. What? I am not that bad. I only act recklessly when I see another dragon appear in front of . Grandeeney and Akatosh told that it was because of my nature as a dragon to get stronger and stronger by the second.
With my soul changed into the soul of a dragon, the rest of my body started to change into a dragon. If not for Grandeeney, my body would have changed into a dragon form by now.
"Just make sure he did not get too injured, okay?"
"Of course, sister. I will make sure he does not die."
"Good girl."
After patting Asia's head, she looks at and smiles.
"What? No hug for ?"
Instead of saying anything, she hugs and kisses .
"Take care of them, okay?"
"Don't worry about it. I will protect them with my life in the line."
"Nope. I want you to protect them while you are still alive."
I laugh a little and say.
"What an unreasonable wife I have. Sure. I will do that."
"Good. Now, get inside the plane. You should arrive in dan before the sun goes down."
I nod and take Asia and Kunou to the plane.
I can see Yasaka put on so protective spell around her years. We wave our hands behind the windows, and the plane closes up and takes off. While taking off, Asia looks at and says,
"Can you tell more about your hotown, Ryan?"
"Hmmm? Well, my hotown is a small village on top of a mountain. A dense forest on the outer ring of the village and a farm on the inner ring of the village surround the village. My parents own a large land that we cultivate to produce rice and many vegetables."
"Not fruit, dad?"
I pat Kunou's head and say.
"Sadly, no. Most of the land is used to cultivate rice and vegetables. However, we do have seven papaya trees and a lot of banana trees next to my parent's house."
"Oooh~ Banana! I love bananas."
"Then you can eat a lot of them when we arrive there."
"Promise?"
"I promise."
"Yes!"
I smile at her little victory pose and pat her head.
"Anyway! Where are we? Right. The village is peaceful, and people like to drink at night in the local tavern, or what we call 'Lapo Tuak,' where many adults drink and sing together. Sadly, so of them drink too much sotis and cause a ruckus."
"Alcohol, drink?"
"Yup. Tuak is an alcoholic drink. It looks like yellowish milk with a distinct aroma. Because the two of you are underage, please don't drink them, okay?"
The two of them nod their heads. I pat their head with a smile and continue.
"While there is no massive lake next door like in Kyoto, my village has the best view of the mountain range in the country."
"Fufufu. Are you not biased, Ryan? It is your hotown, after all."
"What? Of course not! I declare this in an unbiased opinion."
I give them a grin as I say that.
"Anyway, my village is not too far away from Toba Lake. It only takes us two to two and a half hours of car ride to the lake. When we arrive there, we can visit the islands in the middle of the lake."
Asia nods her head and smiles a little.
"I cannot wait to see them."
