Asa noticed Lithia come back to pick up the A/C unit. She awkwardly apologized and asked if the A/C unit was done. "No need to apologize. Some demons are just not comfortable with some interactions. If there is any way how I can make you feel more comfortable, just let me know. I am supposed to be the more understanding one in the clan. But anyways, your A/C unit was a quick fix. It just needed a replacement ice crystal. The cost is basically just 23 Rainbow Robans." Asa said.
They put the change on the receipt and pushed it over to the other side of the counter. "It was great doing business with you and I wish you a wonderful day." Asa said before seeing off Lithia.

The morning of the wedding...
Asa woke up a little later as today the shop was closed due to the wedding. They got ready as usual but due to the wedding, Asa had to put on something nice, but traditional. They knew the perfect outfit! Asa put on a black kimono with a pink and red floral pattern with a black hakama as well as matching thigh-high tabi socks and geta. For the strongman of the clan, rule was to wear a black kimono at such functions, but there were no rules that forbade floral patterns or thigh-highs. Once dressed, Asa put on some perfume that smelled a little fruity, did makeup (it was light makeup though, silver metallic eyeliner, some foundation and mascara) and did their hair. Asa then put Ziran's refurbished skates into a large purse and left the cottage.
On the way to the clan main house, Asa got some compliments from others on the outfit. Though one guy asked if Asa could fight in it in case of an emergency. To which Asa nodded. Asa had practiced fighting even in impractical clothes, because a mediator/strongman had to be able to fight even in attire that restricted movement.
A few minutes after leaving the cottage, Asa arrived at the main house, still being an early bird. Basically most of the clan seemed to have been invited with only those who were sick, too old or too busy (such as village guards or "essential jobs") missing out.

Lady Soreiel and her trusty maid Beezle had arrived early to the event to see if they could provide any assistance, even if they were not invited themselves, Soreiel just couldn’t resist going despite Beezle advising her not to.
“This is lovely inst it Beezle?” Soreiel smiled as she looked at the event in preparation
“Yes it is my lady, but we shouldn’t be here, we weren’t invited” Beezle stated once again
“Oh come now Beezle, if they wish us to leave then we will leave, I have finished what I came here for anyways, we can head home and relax for a bit until it’s time to go meet another clan” Soreiel replied

Yugomiya "Yuta" Takeminakata
Yuta awoke upon the crack of dawn on the day of the wedding, for he had a few procedures to follow up on this joyous day that hog a lot of the time he has very little off till the ceremony.
So he gathered his shrine clothes along with a small towel and went behind the shrine building to where a small waterfall resided, one just big enough for a man to sit beneath it and be fully covered by its falling water. Yuta folded his shrine clothes and laid them on a small wooden bench residing near this place, he then picked up a mantra mala which laid within a small compartment in the bench. Now prepared he came under the waterfall and sat on a rock beneath it, letting the cold water from the stream pour on his head as he recited mantras towards his god to cleanse his soul as well as to pray for the wellbeing and happiness of the soon to be couple, and he remained there till he finished all one hundred and eight mantras. Upon completion he kissed the last bead on the mala before wearing it on his neck, then he came out from beneath the waterfall and walked towards the bench.
When he came near it he bowed down to pick up his towel, then slowly and with care he swiped his body clean while taking off the wet clothes off himself, before replacing them with his shrine attire. Respectfully he picked up the wet clothes and the towel and hung them up on a line hanging between a few trees for them to dry out before coming inside the house or to be exact to the ritual room. There he clapped his hands twice before the icon of his god, bowed twice, and clapped once before bowing yet again, after a little show of respect to his god Yuta took the ritual katana into his left hand and hung it on his waist on the left side as to symbolize how far it is from his heart, which in his religion meant that this weapon was not meant to kill.
From there Yuta exited the detached part of the shrine where the head priest and his family live along with housing the ritual katana, to the proper publicly accessible part of the shrine, which was separated by a zen garden and a small bamboo forest. There he prepared the shrine fire rice wine, which is to be shared between all the quests along with the soon-to-be wed as a way to represent their best wishes to the couple. Even though it was the most tedious part of the preparations for him he was glad the shrine maidens that worked in the shrine managed to do most of the preparations where he wasn’t needed or rather he wasn’t good at. So all that was left for him now was to welcome the quests as they came and guide the couple and guests of honor to separate rooms where they could reside and steel their nerves before the ceremony begins, or they could mingle inside the bigger room which connects them all.
So Yuta came out of the shrine onto its courtyard where the younger shrine maidens began hanging decorations between the torii gates made of a thousand red origami cranes to symbolize honor, good fortune, loyalty, and longevity, while also placing small omamori on each of the quests seats as to ward them from bad luck, curses and evil spirits. And there within the crowd of shrine maidens, he saw Lady Soreiel and her maid, so he approached them hearing a bit of their talk he responded to them after bowing to them as a greeting.
“You are more than welcome to stay Lady Soreiel, your companion is also welcome to stay, after all the couple themselves said the more people at their wedding the better. After all the more people wish them a good marriage life the better. However, I do wonder if will you be able to handle the fire wine that all the attendees of legal age are to drink a small cup of. After all some of the blacksmiths who reside here tend to use it to fuel their forges for it is quite strong.” Yuta said with a small smirk on his face at his comment but he quickly hid it with the long sleeves of his kimono, after managing to lose the smirk he used his hand to guide the two of them to the inner part of the shrine inviting them in till the rest arrived for the ceremony.

explanationsMantral Mala are traditional bead used when praying. A person moves one bead per completed mantra, all mala consist of 108 beads, but most of them have additional bigger beads to separate them into four sections containing 21, 33, 21, and 33 beads respectively.
Mantras in short are a form of long prayer of most Asian religions.
Omamori are small cloth amulets with the purpose to ward of bad luck, evil spirits as well as curses, each such little amulet bag has a piece of paper inside of it consisting of various mantras, prayers and wishes towards the god of the shrine to keep the person wearing this safe from such things, but supposedly seeing this paper revokes its power if its seen by anyone not of that shrine.

Soreiel and Beezle both curtsied and followed closely behind him. “We do appreciate this sir Yuta” Beezle stated
“Indeed, these events are always wonderful to be a part of, and I’m guessing the fact of having another clans noble daughter attending would do good for the bride and groom’s popularity” Soreiel chuckled “but I do apologize as I do not drink, but I have heard about this from some of my blacksmiths and use a similar concoction in my own forge when I’m working, the flames it produces are both extremely hot and beautiful when they dance along the metal.” She added with a smile
“But I will happily let Beezle take a sip for me.” Soreiel grinned mischievously as she knew Beezle was a light weight
Beezle just sighed “as you wish my lady”
“Oh Beezle you need to relax, this will do you some good, if you start acting crazy I will be here to diffuse the situation” Soreiel smiled cheerfully
“You don’t exactly fill me with confidence my lady” Beezle replied

Asa knocked at the door of the main house. "Master Yuzumori, I have come to pick you up." Asa said while opening the door and peeking in. "You're awfully early! Get the ceremonial swords already! I still need to get finished dressing! When you have the swords, wait out front!" Yelled the middle aged demon from around the corner. Asa went to the main hall where the swords were on display. It was a set of a tanto, a wakizashi, a katana and an odachi. Though Asa was more specialized in heavier weapons, they had learned how to wield the traditional sword set of the clan, preferring the odachi in combat, but able to use the wakizashi for quicker combat.
Asa put on a sword belt and put the swords in it. Four swords at their side may look excessive and Asa could have gone without the katana, but this was tradition. Soon, Asa left the main hall and went back out front.
Not long after, Ziran appeared and jumped into Asa's arms. "Hey, what are you doing here?" Asa said and smiled. When Ziran complimented on Asa's outfit, Asa smiled and said: "Oh, thank you. On such formal occasions, I have to look my best, but I will surely be outshined by the bride. If you like the kimono, I can see if I can get you one made. I'd assume you'd want a pink kimono. Am I right?"
Asa then set down their bag. "Speaking of making things. I finished refurbishing your skates." They took the skates out of the bag and set them in front of Ziran. "You can pay me later, I will give you a special discount since you are a friend." They said. "Otherwise, I have been fine and busy. Luckily, there haven't been any incidents in the village lately. So at least the only thing as a judge that I have to do is fulfill my position at the wedding as the right hand assistant of the clan leader, Master Yuzumori. It surprises me though that you came to the main house first. Did you want to join me and the leader on our stroll over to the shrine, where the wedding is going to be?"
Soon Master Yuzumori came out of the main house with his wife and an attendant. Master Yuzumori was a middle aged demon with shoulder length black hair tied in a ponytail. His hair had begun to grey. He wore a black kimono with the clan emblem on it. His wife, a pretty demon with very long brown hair and curled horns similar to those of Asa's just shorter and dark grey instead of black, wore a red kimono with a Sazu blossom pattern on it. The attendant was an elder demon who had been in the service of the clan for centuries and similarly to the master, wore a black kimono.
"My, Asa, you look wonderful. Would you mind marrying my son?" The master's wife complimented then joked. The master then stammered, slightly blushing: "Y..yes. You are p... pretty. You look like a noble female knight." "It is a pleasure to receive such compliments from the master and his wife. As judge, I must look my best while also being capable in case of an emergency." Asa replied.
Master Yuzumori noticed Ziran and said: "Well if it isn't the Solidago kid? Ziran was it? Did you decide to join us or did you seek Asa instead?"

"I did hear from some of the smiths that you lady Sorelei dabble in smithing yourself, maybe one day I can give you the tour of the shrines smithy."
When Yuta finished guiding Soreiel and Beezle into the inner part of the shrine, into a quest tea room at that he sat next to a kotatsu in a seiza position while serving fresh cherry blossom tea to his two quests and himself.
"I see you and your companion are in good relations, thats good. And don't worry your little head, there will be no trouble even if your companion does start acting crazy, after all we have a few quest rooms so we can just lay here in one of them if the need arises."
After he deemed that the tea has steeped itself properly he poured the tea into cups and handed them to his quest.
"Go on drink the tea, its my own blend. It is quite rich and sweet while still remaining light so it should fit your tastes."
Yuta grabbed the cup with one of his hands while placing another below the cup and took a sip, before placing the cup down on the table with a sigh before speaking once more.
"Although I do wish that people gather soon after all in less than two hours the ceremony will begin, not that i think about it, its more like an hour and fifteen minutes till the ceremony, and the newlyweds aren't even here yet. Being late to their own wedding is untold, albeit the bride did visit the shrine about three hours ago to notify they could arrive late."

After being led into the guest room Soreiel and Beezle mimicked Yuta’s siting style. “That would be rather nice, I have been studying and practicing since I was a little girl, and I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but I am almost a master smith in my clan” she smiled and accepted the tea “mmmm…. Smells delightful, thank you Yuta” she replied and took a sip
Beezle just quietly did the same.
“I’m sure that they are just getting ready, a bride does take a bit of work to be ready for her big day, I’m a little envious” Soreiel chuckled
“But you will reach that point someday my lady” Beezle replied
“I know, but certainly not anytime soon” she chuckled “but aren’t we also waiting for Asa and Ziran?” She asked Yuta curiously

The chief and his wife were delighted by the compliments from Ziran. "Boy, you don't have to exaggerate. While the lady here looks beautiful and youthful, I can't say that of myself." The chief said. Asa cleared their throat and said: "Relax, chief. You barely look over 40. The greying hair doesn't have to mean anything." "I guess." The chief replied.
"Ha! I knew you'd like a pink kimono!" Asa said. "Hitting the tavern together sure would be fun. Are you old enough to drink?" Asa joked about Ziran's youthfulness. When Ziran realized that he got the event location mixed up Asa gently pat him on the back and said: "Getting mixed up with information happens to everyone from time to time. It even happens to the best of us. Of course you can join us on our way over to the shrine. It's not like anyone is going to scold you for it. The clan is easygoing enough to not be too strict about etiquette. I would like to ask you to carry something on your way over with us."
Asa went briefly into the main house and came out with a small bag. They handed the bag to Ziran. "Carry this and you get to say this is a wedding gift not only from me but that you pitched in too." Asa then grabbed Ziran's hand and they were off.
A few minutes later, they arrived at the shrine. Similarly, many guests were arriving at the shrine's gates including the soon to be wedded. "Oh look! Everyone's here already! I guess the wedding is about to start soon. I wonder where Yuta and the others from the day before are at." Asa said looking around to see who all had come.

Asa cleared their throat and said: "Relax, chief. You barely look over 40. The greying hair doesn't have to mean anything." "I guess." The chief replied.
"Ha! I knew you'd like a pink kimono!" Asa said. "Hitting the tavern together sure would be fun. Are you old enough to drink?" Asa joked about Ziran's youthfulness. When Ziran realized that he got the event location mixed up Asa gently pat him on the back and said: "Getting mixed up with information happens to everyone from time to time. It even happens to the best of us. Of course you can join us on our way over to the shrine. It's not like anyone is going to scold you for it. The clan is easygoing enough to not be too strict about etiquette. I would like to ask you to carry something on your way over with us."
Asa went briefly into the main house and came out with a small bag. They handed the bag to Ziran. "Carry this and you get to say this is a wedding gift not only from me but that you pitched in too." Asa then grabbed Ziran's hand and they were off.
A few minutes later, they arrived at the shrine. Similarly, many guests were arriving at the shrine's gates including the soon to be wedded. "Oh look! Everyone's here already! I guess the wedding is about to start soon. I wonder where Yuta and the others from the day before are at." Asa said looking around to see who all had come.

Soreiel sat and enjoyed the tea with Yuta before hearing that more people were arriving. “Hmmm… it seems the festivities will begin soon? Shouldn’t you be doing some last minute checks Yuta?” She asked “if you like Beezle and I could assist you?” She suggested
“My lady please, that is something a noble lady shouldn’t bother herself with” Beezle countered
“I am well aware of that Beezle, but I’m not just any ordinary noblewoman, I care for others, I try to make yours and the other maids lives just a bit easier, and I work in a blacksmith shop, I get dirty, there is nothing wrong with helping others, even if they are of a different clan” Soreiel stated
“I’m sorry my lady” Beezle sighed
“It’s alright my dear, I know you are just looking after me” Soreiel smiled
Soreiel looked into the main hall of the shrine at the influx of guests, and despite the many people Soreiel was able to immediately pick out Asa and Ziran “welcome boys, would you care for a cup of tea? Yuta makes a very good pot” she smiled as she tried to get Asa and Zirans attention

"The only checks I have left are checking if the bride and groom are in their respective rooms till the ceremony begins, for it is in poor luck for them to meet each other on this day before the start of the ceremony." Yuta answered his tea companion's question before shortly adding a request to them based on their survey of the arriving people.
"Hmm good they are here, could you take care of them for a bit Soreiel I have to check if the soon-to-be-wed are ready for the ceremony to begin." Yuta excused himself and did a little bow towards Soreiel, before he exited the room to meet both the groom and the bride in their respective rooms, the groom was wearing beautiful dark blue robes akin to a night sky which blended with his hair and yet they made his ice blue eyes stand out more, his skin akin to a porcelain doll if Yuta did not know he was a man he could have probably assumed its a girl.
Yuta said a few words to the man to inform him of the approaching ceremony and that he should finish his preparations and come out front to greet his clan leader who arrived along with Asa, then he excused himself and approached the groom's room which was just on the opposite side of the corridor, and the only thing in between the two was a separating paper sliding door, for being so close and yet apart makes ones heart yearn more for the other, or at least that's the philosophy under which his father built this part of the shrine.
Contrary to her partner the bride was already in her full attire trying to calm down her nerves, sitting there in a corner was a tall and beautiful woman dressed in a hanbok wedding dress with red and white obijime ropes bound around her waist in a big bow behind her with her arms passing through the two bows and hanging on her shoulders, which symbolized her blacksmithing roots in the family. Yuta came closer to the girl bending down a little to her eye level, and dealt a swift light chop to the girl's head while saying.
"What are you worrying over, we are blacksmiths we hammer away our problems. Now close your eyes, and imagine you are in your forge, the problem is the ingot of metal in front of you, the hammer is your spirit, the anvil is your conviction and the fire in the forge is your love for him, now hammer away your problems."
Yuta waited for a minute or two with the girl till he saw her worries slowly drift away, he then spoke once again while straightening out and preparing to leave.
"Take your time, though the ceremony does begin in more or less ten minutes I can always buy time with the ceremonial sword dance so just get ready and come up front when you are ready ok?"
Seeing the girl nod to him Yuta cracked a little smile and came back to Soreiel and the others, not sitting down this time but instead bowing and greeting them.
"Welcome everyone on this joyous day, the ceremony shall begin shortly. As usual, we shall start with the dance of forge and sword, after that the wedding part of the ceremony will begin. And i can only say I and the soon-to-be wed are grateful for your presence here everyone."

Soreiel chuckled “are you always this chipper Ziran?” She asked before sitting back down where she was and pouring some tea for them both.
“I’m sure if Beezle and I looked we could probably find you some juice” Soreiel added with a smile before looking at Asa.
“Was I supposed to come in appropriate attire??” She asked seeing that the 3 of them were in some kind of kimono.
“I’m afraid I don’t have anything like that in my box…” she replied a little worried but then noticed the sets of swords Asa was holding.
“Ooohhh… how intricately designed, hmmm… however not very good in a fight I can tell, ceremonial purposes then?” She asked with a curiosity of weapons that comes from being a blacksmith.
Soreiel then snaps out of it “oh I’m sorry, didn’t mean to bombard you with questions, let us have a drink before the festivities begin” she smiled and raised her cup of tea before taking another sip from it.
Beezle quietly watched her lady be a goof before taking a drink of her own tea.

Asa looked around and Ziran spotted nearly everyone from the days before. Asa however noticed that Lithia was missing. They assumed Lithia might be running late or got sick and couldn't attend. Soon Soreiel came over and complemented on the outfits of Asa and the others. She also asked Asa about the swords at their side and whether they were solely for show.
"Well, no. While the swords look like ceremonial swords, they are actually sharp and ready to use as weapons. As the chiefs right-hand, I have been trained to uses these in emergencies, even though I may be more proficient with heavy weapons. So I would possibly mostly be using the odachi. If you want to observe the craft, I can briefly show you the wakazashi. Though the wedding will be starting soon." Asa said. They pulled out the short sword to let Soreiel catch a glimpse of it before sheathing it again.
Soon Yuta called all the guests to take their seats for the wedding. Once everyone was seated, ceremonial music started playing and the chief with Asa by his side went down the isle of seat to the front where Yuta was. Soon after them, the groom and bride followed. Once reaching the front, the groom and bride turned to Yuta with the chief at the bride's flank and Asa at the groom's flank. Each participant gave their respected bows and the ceremony continued on.

"Good day, esteemed quests, and beloved couple-to-be. Today, we are gathered here in this sacred place to witness and celebrate the union of these two beautiful souls. After this day, the bond shared between the two won't be of two individuals anymore, for it will be a bond of family, their histories, and their shared futures."
Exclaimed Yuta in a loud voice standing between the soon-to-wed, before glancing to the side and nodding to one of the shrine maidens to bring the wine and the knife the couple had forged together.
"As we stand here today, let us remember the gravity of the vows that the two will exchange. They are not mere words, but a solemn pledge to support, cherish, and uplift one another through the joys and challenges that lie ahead. May these vows be a testament to the enduring love that has brought them together, and may they serve as a guiding spark in their shared path. Now please exchange your vows."
Yuta stood there with his arms outstretched towards the sky but in the direction of the couple as if to guide their vows into the heavens for the gods to hear. As the couple finished exchanging their vows, the shrine maidens finished distributing the wine and brought the knife and wine to him.
"As we embark on this joyous occasion, let us offer our support and blessings to this couple. Let us surround them with our love, our encouragement, and our unwavering belief in the power of their union. May their marriage be as enduring as the blade they forged together through blood and sweat, and to its beauty that only pales to the beauty of the couple. Now raise our cups into the sky and drink from them as to have the gods know of our conviction that they should bless their marriage."
Spoke Yuta as he received the knife and wine, passing the knife to the bride, and giving the rings he pocketed to both the bride and groom, before drinking from the cup and passing it to the shrine maiden next to him.
"Now with the dagger within the bride's hands so she can stab her soon-to-be husband if he is ever unfaithful, please exchange rings and kisses. So we can proceed with the rest of the celebrations."
When Yuta said that the couple exchanged rings between each other and went to kiss each other a bunch of mobile phones began pinging and ringing as they got messages. At first, it was only a few phones but with every passing second more and more of them began to ring.

The wedding went on as planned as Yuta led the ceremony. They drank the wine and the bride received the dagger. The couple exchanged their rings and went in for a kiss. Asa felt a tingling over their skin and dread for some reason as if something bad was going to happen. All of a sudden, many mobile phones went off. The phones made pinging noises mostly. Asa's phone made the disaster warning sound.
Hastily, Asa pulled out their phone to see what was going on. What they saw made their eyes widen. The message read: "EMERGENCY ALERT!!! Due to dire circumstances, a special military draft has been issued. The following are now eligible for military service: Firstborn, clan guardians, law enforcement officers, unmarried women and clan leadership. Mandatory draft for senior clan strongmen and clan strongest. Report to district military offices as individuals, kin unit or clan unit, alternatively as kin unit or clan unit in a major city near the frontline."
Asa was boiling with anger. "WHAT HAVE THE HUMANS DONE?!" Asa yelled, nearly smashing their phone on the ground. Not only was Asa angry about the development, but because it happened during an important clan even and because not only Asa was drafted but any other clan strongman.
"Chief, I am heading down to the main house to the TV to see what happened. If anyone wants to join me, then follow me." Asa said coldly. Asa was never like this. Even when they ranted about humans, Asa was never this angry. They made their way down to the main house in a huff. In the main hall, Asa turned on the TV.
Basically, on every channel the news was on. The newscaster reported on the latest development in the war: "I repeat. The humans have used some kind of powerful spell killing thousands of our warriors. The frontline has collapsed on a length of about five kilometers. The humans have massacred the frontline villages of Silvera, Ochredale and Bhaile before they could be evaculated. Our forces are working on stabilizing the frontline again."
Asa felt immeasurably angry and shocked at the same time. Not only did the humans use a dirty spell in their war of annihilation, but they murdered civilians. "I will destroy every last human warrior and every human who wants us dead!" Asa growled.
Then on the TV, they showed footage of the attack. "We just got footage of the devastating attack." The newscaster said. On the recording, a gigantic red spell circle became visible on the group. Then a pillar of light descended from the sky and as soon as it touched the ground a gigantic dome of bright white light enveloped thousands on the frontline. It seemed the humans even sacrificed some of their own. The shockwave leveled buildings in the distance.
"A special draft has been issued. Firstborn, clan guardians, law enforcement officers, unmarried women and clan leadership are now eligible to join military service as national army warriors or as private militia. Clan strongest and senior clan strongmen are to report for duty personally or along with their gathered kinsfolk at their local district military office or at a frontline city." They said on the news.
Asa knowing to not further was energy on anger turned around to anyone who tagged along to the main house. Calmer and more collected, Asa turned around and pulled the ceremonial odachi out of it's hilt and raised it in the air. "My clansfolk and my kinsfolk! Who will follow me to battle?! Whoever will join me, meet me tomorrow at this very main house and we will set off and seek retribution!"
The chief stepped forward: "I will join you. For our honor." Asa put their hand on the chief's shoulder and shook their head. "No. Your place is here. The clan needs a leader and your children aren't cut out for the position yet. Additionally, in case I don't come back, you will have to elect and guide a new strongman. However, I will do my best to come back. But not only that, but I will come back as a hero for our clan!" Asa said.
The chief sunk his head but then looked up at Asa and replied: "I guess you are right. While I would like to come and would be able to fight. I do not have enough reliable successors to see over the clan while I were to be away."

Soreiel stood up and approached Asa “you do have my support dear Ada, but I must return home to my clan and get my Unit ready, I will meet you at the frontlines and hope we can fight together” she smiled
Beezle nodded “yes let’s work together and form a cohesive fighting force”
“Come Beezle, we must return home quickly, I’ll message the drive to go ahead and head back home” Soreiel stated and texted her driver then put her phone away and using her knowledge of dark magic creates a portal back to the Belmont clan “I await your Clan Asa” she added and curtsied before looking at the chief “I apologize for leaving so suddenly” she stated and walked through the portal with Beezle and his vanished

Soreiel voiced her support and wishes before leaving. "Hopefully, we will see eachother soon again. I want to bring an end to the danger as quickly as possible and together we can achieve that." Asa said before Soreiel left. Asa also noticed a distraught Ziran. Ziran seemed conflicted about joining the fight as he was worried about his parents. "Go to you parents. If you want to join, you should have a long talk with your parents. If you decide against joining, it is your choice and I wont force you. But if you join, I will do my best to bring you back home alive." Asa said putting their hand on Ziran's shoulder. "We will see each other tomorrow. There you can tell me your decision."
Asa then put the ceremonial swords back in their place and spoke with the chief briefly before heading home. At home, Asa made sure to clean their clothes and grab a bag to pack. They made sure to pack mostly more practical clothing that would be good on the battlefield, meaning no long skirts and nothing too loose. Eventually, they had plenty of clothes, some toiletries, tools, basic cooking utensils and some tech packed. By the time Asa was fully packed it was late. Asa made a print-out for the shop that read:
"Shop closed until further notice due to war draft. May return to normal operation after war service. Please refer to manatronic technicians in neighboring villages."
After putting up the sign and getting things sorted at the shop, Asa returned home, made a small meal and eventually went to bed. It was hard to fall asleep with all the anxiety of what was happening. On one side, Asa was irritated about having to leave the village and their peaceful life. On the other side, Asa really wanted to kill some humans and put an end to the war, no matter how many they had to kill.
The next morning, Asa got up, did some morning exercise including swinging their massive heavy club one thousand times, then got washed up and dressed. They put on a skin tight sleeveless turtleneck top, black spats, black thigh highs and a black sleeveless knee-length kimono outfit with a flower pattern on. Asa went to the mirror and twirled around in the outfit to make sure the outfit was cute yet easy enough to move around in to be able to fight. The only thing that Asa didn't have right now was a weapon. So they grabbed the heavy club as a provisional weapon.
Asa stepped out of their house and turned around to wish the cottage a farewell. "I wish I could take you with me. But I am not good with spatial magics." Asa said. They then put their hand to their chin and pondered: "Maybe I should learn some magics since I have the time now. I guess I could cram it in aside from training. And since I have trained hard for so many years, I should be able to put myself to good use now."
Asa turned around and tied the pack to their back, then put the club on one should and crouched for a jump. "I should be able to hit the mark." Asa said soon doing a high powered jump towards the main house. They landed with a bang, about 15 meters from the entrance of the main house. "A bit far off but I can work on the precision. Hard to determine how the club would influence my flight path. If I managed to be more precise, I should squash and enemy in one go." Asa said.
The chief ran out of the house, yelling "What happened?", only to notice Asa and the cracks on the ground beneath them. "What did you do?" The chief asked. Asa smiled and explained: "I guess the weight of the club made my landing a lot heavier than what it normally would be. If I trained this body to this point, I should use it." The chief looked irritated: "I honestly don't fear for your safety on the battlefield. But at this point I fear for your enemies." "Good. They should fear me." Asa replied.
"Listen." The chief replied. "Remember your heart and your soul. Do not become a monster. I know you want to end this war. We all do. But we are better than them. Normally, you are quite the rational demon, but I fear this war will turn you to evil. Just heed my advice."
Asa knew they couldn't promise the chief that they'd not be a monster on the battlefield and couldn't lie to the chief. So Asa told the chief: "I understand your worries. I am doing this for us all. For a brighter future for all of us. As a judge, I will enact justice and free those who have been unjustly treated and punish those who have done wrong. The humans hold plenty of slaves and servants who need liberation."
The chief then smiled: "Then I have great hopes for you." Asa grinned as the chief bought what they said. Asa didn't lie but also didn't deny what they were going to do. Eventually the chief decided to wait outside with Asa for the rest to show up. The wife brought out tea and wagashi for the two as they waited.

Asa then put the ceremonial swords back in their place and spoke with the chief briefly before heading home. At home, Asa made sure to clean their clothes and grab a bag to pack. They made sure to pack mostly more practical clothing that would be good on the battlefield, meaning no long skirts and nothing too loose. Eventually, they had plenty of clothes, some toiletries, tools, basic cooking utensils and some tech packed. By the time Asa was fully packed it was late. Asa made a print-out for the shop that read:
"Shop closed until further notice due to war draft. May return to normal operation after war service. Please refer to manatronic technicians in neighboring villages."
After putting up the sign and getting things sorted at the shop, Asa returned home, made a small meal and eventually went to bed. It was hard to fall asleep with all the anxiety of what was happening. On one side, Asa was irritated about having to leave the village and their peaceful life. On the other side, Asa really wanted to kill some humans and put an end to the war, no matter how many they had to kill.
The next morning, Asa got up, did some morning exercise including swinging their massive heavy club one thousand times, then got washed up and dressed. They put on a skin tight sleeveless turtleneck top, black spats, black thigh highs and a black sleeveless knee-length kimono outfit with a flower pattern on. Asa went to the mirror and twirled around in the outfit to make sure the outfit was cute yet easy enough to move around in to be able to fight. The only thing that Asa didn't have right now was a weapon. So they grabbed the heavy club as a provisional weapon.
Asa stepped out of their house and turned around to wish the cottage a farewell. "I wish I could take you with me. But I am not good with spatial magics." Asa said. They then put their hand to their chin and pondered: "Maybe I should learn some magics since I have the time now. I guess I could cram it in aside from training. And since I have trained hard for so many years, I should be able to put myself to good use now."
Asa turned around and tied the pack to their back, then put the club on one should and crouched for a jump. "I should be able to hit the mark." Asa said soon doing a high powered jump towards the main house. They landed with a bang, about 15 meters from the entrance of the main house. "A bit far off but I can work on the precision. Hard to determine how the club would influence my flight path. If I managed to be more precise, I should squash and enemy in one go." Asa said.
The chief ran out of the house, yelling "What happened?", only to notice Asa and the cracks on the ground beneath them. "What did you do?" The chief asked. Asa smiled and explained: "I guess the weight of the club made my landing a lot heavier than what it normally would be. If I trained this body to this point, I should use it." The chief looked irritated: "I honestly don't fear for your safety on the battlefield. But at this point I fear for your enemies." "Good. They should fear me." Asa replied.
"Listen." The chief replied. "Remember your heart and your soul. Do not become a monster. I know you want to end this war. We all do. But we are better than them. Normally, you are quite the rational demon, but I fear this war will turn you to evil. Just heed my advice."
Asa knew they couldn't promise the chief that they'd not be a monster on the battlefield and couldn't lie to the chief. So Asa told the chief: "I understand your worries. I am doing this for us all. For a brighter future for all of us. As a judge, I will enact justice and free those who have been unjustly treated and punish those who have done wrong. The humans hold plenty of slaves and servants who need liberation."
The chief then smiled: "Then I have great hopes for you." Asa grinned as the chief bought what they said. Asa didn't lie but also didn't deny what they were going to do.

My feelings are like schrodingers cat.
Yugomiya "Yuta" Takeminakata
All this situation made Yuta's mind clouded, he could not think straight, so he did not follow his companions instead he retreated to the innermost part of the temple after sending a message to three important people. There he resided under a waterfall meditating with his sword on his lap awaiting the arrival of the three whom he invited.
Said people could be called his masters, his family, the ones who will he wants to carry. The first to arrive was an old man lacking one arm, one leg, and one eye, he walked up to Yuta while supporting himself on his cane.
"Come out Yuta, your test has been prepared as you requested, if you do not pass we won't allow you to join the war effort even if it means binding you down or severing your tendons, but if you do pass each of us three bear a gift for you. So then are you ready?"
Yuta breathed deeply his master's trials will begin as soon as he comes out from under the waterfall. So he stood up carrying the sheathed sword in his left hand, he performed a deep martial bow to his master and stepped out. Beginning his trial, his first master Kaze was a man widely known in his clan for his wind magic prowess. His test was simple get past him while leaving a mark on him.
Kaze began launching multiple wind blades in Yuta's direction as he simply walked towards Kaze trying to dodge each blade. Of course, it wasn't so simple this trial alone took Yuta a few hours to beat, as he continuously healed himself with his healing magic while barely dodging the lethal attacks that were mixed with those meant to only graze him.
His second trial was much harder after all his opponent was the one who taught him how to handle his odachi, and while Yuta used only one his master used two, and for every step Yuta took it felt as if his master took four. This test was the hardest and yet the simplest, survive thirty minutes without being touched by his master or beat him in a duel without leaving a room five tatami mats wide and four tatami mats long.
But Yuta prevailed restarting the trial over and over again, the trials began at early noon but now it was approaching evening, with the sun slowly falling down, but he managed to succeed his strategy honestly was maniacal in design, trying to hit the same spot over and over on an enemies weapon to break it, but it was done. Yuta now tired with barely any mana left in him strode towards the shrine gates where his final master stood. There with him were four wolf cubs that growled at Yuta, his master simply let go of the cubs which ran and began biting on Yuta but he did nothing to them he simply walked to his master and when he finally stood before his master, he knelt and began to comfort the cubs. This test was the most complex after all the cubs did nothing wrong it was the master who made them attack him, it was meant for Yuta to realize that pointing his weapon was meant only for the evil ones.
After knowing that he passed their three tests he passed out and awoke the next morning after being healed by his own father, with three gifts by his side. A new odachi as his old one broke during the trials, a steel noh mask enchanted with magic meant to calm his mind, and a pair of Yoroi clothes much like his own but with small interconnecting plates sewn together inside of it for increased protection.
It was a very early morning but Yuta changed into his gifted items, packed a simple rucksack with some more important stuff, and walked out of the shrine, towards Asa's clan house.
On his way there he got more than a few weird stares from people, but he did not mind them and upon his arrival, he said only a few words to Asa.
"It seems we are the first ones ready. You look nice and prepared Asa, though is it combat ready?"

Beezle soon arrived in the town once again via car and made her way to the chief’s home.
“A pleasure to see you all again” she replied with a curtsy as she looked at Yuta, Asa, and Ziran.
She then looked over at the chief “a good morning to you as well sir, my apologies for dropping by unannounced, but my Lady was curious as to who you had drafted, I also came to see if they would accept my Lady’s offer of coming to the Belmont home before the trip to the front, I am sorry if this request is a bit too forward for us as your guests”

As Yuta arrived, it looked like Yuta had been though something since the day before. Yuta commented on Asa's appearance and asked whether they were combat ready. "I have tons of training, but the only combat experience I have is from brawls and from sparring. I should be able to pull through. With time, I will improve." Asa replied. "It looks like you have new gear. I am confident that we will fare well together."
Soon after Ziran also arrived. "So I guess you got everything sorted with the parents? Must have been difficult. And if they still have their doubts, it should give them solace that I am here. I wont let anything happen to you. As long as I live, I will have your back." Asa said to Ziran with a smile. "It is my responsiblity to lead and guard my kinship. Even away from the village, I will lead my clan in the stead of the chief and deal with any dangers."
Soon Soreiel's servant Beezle arrived in a car. She greeted those who had gathered already and offered them a ride to the Belmont residence. "I would give it a few moments more before we leave. But in due time, we can visit Lady Belmont." Asa replied.
