Start By Becoming Mangaka 466 Kyoto 11 (Patreon)

Yuuki was holding Kunou in his arms who was currently sleeping. 

"Please, come inside," the other youkai who saw their princess was sleeping on this human arms comfortably felt better. They knew that their princess was very worried about their queen and couldn't calm most of her days. 

Yuuki nodded and followed them. He looked around and felt that this place was really strange. 

Rossweisse was also looking around since this would be her first time coming to Youkai Faction's home. She looked at him and wondered whether he would attract trouble toward him. 

"That's right, Serafall-Sama, there is a group of the devil that has been caught by us, they said that they knew you," one of the youkai said. 

"Eh? Really? Who is it?" Serafall asked curiously. 

"There are four people, who said that they are from the Gremory's peerage." 

"Oh..." Serafall was a bit stupified. She didn't expect them to be caught by them. She thought for a bit and called someone.

"Serafall?" 

"Azazel, can you come to the youkai faction? I have something to do and your students will become their prisoners," Serafall said. 

"Eh?" Azazel was stupified. 

Serafall ended the phone and smiled, "Alright, let's go to that room, tell us what is happening?" 

The youkai group nodded and brought them to one of the rooms inside the castle. 

Kunou opened her eyes slowly and saw that she was in his arms. She looked up and hugged him again, "Yuuki-Nii." 

"Tell me, what happens?" Yuuki asked. 

"M - Mother is caught by them, they want to do something to mother, please save mother," Kunou was crying while telling her the story that was happening yesterday. She told him that a group of humans suddenly came and caught her. 

Yasaka was mad and worried at the same time but she didn't want to aggravate them. 

The group of humans wanted her to come with them in exchange for her daughter. 

Yasaka could only agree to their request since it was for her daughter's safety. 

Kunou blamed herself and caught a person that was suspicious in this town. She told him that she also caught four devils that were moving around a temple. 

Yuuki caressed her head and said, "Don't worry, I will help you to save your mother." 

Kunou nodded and didn't want to separate from him. He was the only one who could make her feel safe and knew that he would save her mother. 

Even though he was angry, he didn't start to search for Yasaka. He knew that there was someone who had 'Dimension Lost'. He was sure that this group of humans hid her in that dimension that was created by 'Dimension Lost'. He didn't have a clue or whatever to search for her and could only wait since he knew that they would start their action again. 

"You will help her, Yuuki?" Rossweisse asked. 

Yuuki nodded, "Of course." 

Rosseweisse nodded, "Don't worry, I will also help you." 

"Thank you," Yuuki nodded and looked at Serafall, "Is this the attack of Khaos Brigade?" 

Serafall nodded, "Yes, and the one who attacked the youkai faction is the Hero Faction."

"Hero Faction?" Yuuki asked. 

"They're one of many factions inside the Khaos Brigade, they're a group of humans and each of their members has sacred gear," Serafall said with a serious expression. 

"Hmm, do you have any information regarding them?" Yuuki asked. He needed to pretend that he didn't know anything since he didn't want her to know that he was 'Archer'. He needed to make a new identity that was a magician known as Yuuki Ichijou. He only hoped that only small numbers of people knew about him but he knew it was impossible since he would start to fight the Hero Faction later. 

Yuuki knew that sooner or later his identity would be known. He was also tired of keeping it a secret most of his time. He thought it didn't really matter anymore since his priority was to save Yasaka. He needed to save her and he needed someone who could attract them.

"Excuse me, Azazel-Sama has requested a meeting with your princess," one of youkai said. 

Kunou nodded, "Sure." 

Serafall walked toward him and asked, "Is this okay for your identity to be known?" 

Yuuki nodded, "It's fine." 

Serafall took something from her pocket and gave it to him. 

Yuuki frowned, "This is?" 

"This is a magical stick you can transform into a magical girl with this," Serafall said. 

Yuuki twitched his lips, "I know that but why did you give me this thing?" He was a fully fledgling male and he didn't understand why she gave him this magical stick. 

"It's for you to disguise yourself! You can become a magical girl and no one will know your identity!" Serafall said with a serious expression. 

Rossweisse tried to hold her laugh by their sides. 

Yuuki seriously wanted to throw this thing away but it was too rude. He realized that Kunou kept looking at this stick, "Kunou, do you want this thing?" 

Kunou was startled and shook her head, "N - no, it's yours, I can't have it." 

Yuuki didn't care about her rejection since he knew that she wanted this thing, "No, please take care of this stick, I can't use it since I'm a male." 

"I - is this okay?" Kunou asked. 

Yuuki nodded, "Yes, I'm already quite powerful but you need the power to save your mother and this stick can help you." 

Kunou looked at the magical stick and nodded in response, "I - I'll use it wisely." 

Yuuki nodded while caressing her head, "Good, from now on, you will become the magical girl that will protect everyone in this town." 

Kunou nodded with a serious expression. 

Serafall and Rossweisse didn't expect him to suddenly give that stick to her. 

"Excuse me."

They turned their heads and saw the group of devils and Azazel.
