"This little one shall take the great ancestor's warning at heart." Narukami gladly accepted her advice and she nodded.

"You still going to school?" She asked curiously as she continued her pace and Narukami followed.

"Yes," he replied simply. 

"Why? If you focus on working in All Beyond, you could get money more easily than salaries from ordinary companies. This is especially true as your strength exceeds that of your peers." She pointed out and Narukami shortly pondered as he said, "it's my hobby going there."

It wasn't a lie. In his past lives, not once he entered school. He did but not as peacefully as the school in the current world.

It was relaxing and as long as students met the required minimum to advance, that's more than enough. 

The competition wasn't that fierce either. Rather than a hobby, it was more of achieving one of his dreams.

After five lives he could attend school normally. No schemes, no ploys, no one dies, no social hierarchy, no ulterior motives.

Just a bunch of youth gathered at one place to have fun, the only place which could be enjoyed once in a lifetime. That was the definition of high school for Narukami.

Although he just attended and on the outside, he seemed to get enough of it. He was excited and anticipating his school life.

However, right after he entered high school, problems one after another came at him.

Such as Amaterasu made an agreement with him and he had to kill three hundred Anomalies every day, accidentally made an enemy out of All Beyond, drawing karmic ties because of his act of saving Ryu, an unknown enemy hide in the shadows, preparing something big for him and the missions "She" gave.

Furthermore, with his current goal, which was to find memories before he reincarnated for the first time, he found it more troublesome and headache than the troubles he currently had.

Until he got his memories back, he couldn't be at peace.

"Great ancestor, from your words. Are you a deity too?"

Narukami just realized this but his great ancestor indirectly told him she was a deity. 

"Your great ancestor has many secrets. If you follow me back to the castle, I'll tell all of them for free," she said seductively with a teasing smile.

"I will pass. Considering we are related, sooner or later, your enemies are going to chase me so as to hold me as a hostage, by then I could know more."

His ancestor looked at him in admiration, this kid is so sharp that is scary, I should choose my words more carefully. Who knows if I accidentally let my tongue slip and give him more secrets? She made a mental note to herself.

The secret she had could be used as a bargaining chip to make Narukami come with her to her castle. 

"Great ancestor, rather than focusing all your efforts to reel me in and make the next ruler of our race, why don't you search for anyone else?" He asked with a deadpan expression. 

Her smile vanished as she replied, "I wouldn't come to you if I had some candidates but our race is one of the formula's ingredients. Our population decreases sharply and our reproduction isn't particularly fast.

My plan is to increase our numbers once you become the next ruler. A mixed-blood vampire like you is quite particular when it comes to increasing our population."

At this point, Narukami realized something from her words after a quick observation, "doesn't that mean my first task as a ruler is to make as many babies as possible? Although I will not be the next ruler. Great ancestor, such a task is rather hard to accept, even anyone would find it hard to accept being viewed as a baby-making machine."

I will lose some face! Narukami added silently. 

His ancestor rebuked with a slight pout, "isn't that what all men want? Furthermore, with your blood running in your child, their growth is going to be as fast as human babies but once they grow up, they will be more powerful than them."

By then, vampires could escape from their current predicament.

In this aspect, Narukami suddenly thought of something and wondered, "what happened to our races then? Will our numbers only go down because of being hunted and used as an ingredient?"

After he said that, he had a thought as he said, damn, she successfully guided this conversation to the flow she wanted.

He couldn't help but be amazed. In the battle of wits, Narukami was far lacking even with the help of his past lives.

"Right now, the five major organizations decided to give us some breath. But that will not last long. Heh, once I have gone, they're going to have one hell of a party." She sighed heavily.

Her sigh made Narukami's heart shake. Despite the fact he never saw someone from his race except for his father, they were his kin.

He wasn't merciless enough to let them all die. That simply left a bad taste on his mouth and not his style at all.

I know she purposely guided the conversation to reach this point and then coaxed me with words. If I let my guard down, perhaps I would have had no choice but to follow her to her castle today.

But still, if I don't. Leaving my kin to certain death is the same as dancing like an idiot in front of them while their heads about to be beheaded.

Hum, at this point. If I chose to flee, that is rather similar to running away from the battlefield.

Not only is it a cowardly act, but it is also a disgrace. Living with such feelings is much worse than death.

Narukami sighed and said calmly, "truly, this little one had much to learn from the great ancestor."

His ancestor pretend to be clueless as she blinked at him confusedly, "what are you talking about?"

"You understand." Narukami smiled mysteriously and his ancestor didn't continue to talk any further.

Her rascal smile was back, making her like a cunning child but her beauty simply ignore that air of hers.

Even if it remained albeit, by a small amount, no one would say anything if such a beautiful little girl does something mischievous at them.

Especially those pedo bears, they were more than willing to be her plaything.

As they walked in silence, Narukami was contemplating. He knew that his race conflict was also his.

But he didn't even have the time to do the things he wanted to, let alone governing an entire race! 

This was especially true since Narukami had around five problems that must be completed, probably more but that was all he remembered. 

He then pulled from his daze as his ancestor said calmly but playfully, "the most elite squad in the HQ had arrived. They help the branch to kill this person named Sixth, do you know who it is?"

She then turned around her body and walked backward with her hands behind her waist. She slightly leaned forward towards him and looked at Narukami with probing eyes and a seductive smile. 

Narukami knew his ancestor going to find out sooner or later and so, he already prepared an answer.

He replied mysteriously yet calmly, "I figured it would be fun to play with them and didn't expect for them to take it seriously."

His ancestor turned her body around and said, "what an interesting child. Playing with a tiger as though it was a puppy. This is the first time I see someone so daring. Even I did not dare to do such a thing."

All Beyond was a terrifying organization with many experts in them. If they use all their pieces to subdue his ancestor, they would succeed but the loss would be immeasurable.

Probably by then, All Beyond going to be left with thirty percent of overall Sorcerers. Enough for their organization to fall in position. 

Faster and harder than anyone's falling grade. 

ancestor wasn't daring enough to play it openly with All Beyond yet her descendant had the balls to do it! She didn't know if she should be worry or not. Didn't know if she should be amazed or not.

"Can you play it through?" She asked worriedly.

Narukami calmly assured her, "I wouldn't pull this off if there is no chance of winning. Don't worry, great ancestor. This little one has caught your eyes' attention. I don't dare to let down your expectation."

His great ancestor nodded slightly. This side of hers was rarely shown to others. In fact, only Narukami in this world was capable to see her soft side.

"You better win this cat and mouse game. If you get caught, that organization better pray that they will get an easy death. Otherwise, I'll cut them to pieces and fed them for dogs' lunch."

With her words assisting him, he was at much more ease.

He too was anxious when he heard that the most elite squad arrived to capture him. No matter how strong he was, numbers often make up the strength.

Should he get captured, he would think of a way but now. He must shift his attention entirely on his current matter.

This city is getting more interesting, should I invite some friends to watch? Pondered inwardly. 

A cat and mouse game, but this time the mouse was only an individual being yet the cat was the strongest organization out of all five.

No one would miss such a good show!

The little girl's concern over Narukami only lasted for a short moment before being forgotten because of her excitement.

"Does the game between you and All Beyond has started?" She asked with anticipation after turned around her body. Her eyes were sparkling as though a child was excited to enter an amusement park. 

Narukami's heart winced as he thought, great ancestor, where is your worry just now? Why did you become so much happier within short seconds? Isn't your change of heart abnormally fast. 

"It already started, as long as I lay low. It'll be hard for them to sniff my traces."

The little girl stopped and pouted angrily, making her incredibly cute. 

Her gaze was looking at the other side and her arms crossed, she said disappointedly, "how boring."
