Mythical Slayer: Mythical Girls Contract

"Grandma?"

Kai pointed at the woman who introduced herself as his grandmother, Emily Clark, and turned to Marcus in disbelief. At first glance, he could see that she wore a coat with the Slayer Organization logo, meaning she worked there.

A low chuckle escaped Emily's mouth as a peal of loud laughter rang from Marcus. Kai was still left unsure about how he should react to this. The fireball he created to light the dark alleyway disappeared, leaving only the one on his palm.

Looking at their expressions, it didn't seem that they were lying to him.

"Really?"

"What? You didn't believe me?" Emily, better known as Dragon, put her hands on her hips and leaned forward. Kai's reaction was really precious that she wanted to tease him, just like how she teased the young Griffin.

"Look at this. Didn't you see the resemblance between our faces? Not that I can see, though."

Kai looked at Emily once again, leaning her body forward and pushing her breasts up, moving ever so slightly to jiggle them. This was his grandmother from his paternal side?

But then he remembered his childhood. Whenever he returned from work, he would always look so tired. If the way his grandmother acted was like this, then… He wouldn't be surprised.

Her words about not being able to see were concerning, but it seemed like she could still feel and didn't think much about it.

"So you really are my grandmother?"

"Correct!" Emily exclaimed, straightening her posture. "Well, let's get to the main point, shall we? How much do you know about Suzuka's death?" Her tone turned serious as she looked at Kai with her blank gray eyes.

"I only know about my mother returning to Japan after talking with Ao about sealing my memories," Kai replied in the same serious manner. "I don't know anything after that."

"I see. Starting from that, eh?" She smiled. "I heard this from Marcus when you were in the Dragon King Castle. Finally, that old man can tell me, although with anger, why he acted like a bastard all this time." She smirked and let out a playful chuckle.

"Tsk! None of your business." Marcus clicked his tongue and leaned against the wall with his back. "Just tell him. I won't be able to hold my anger back if I am the one who tells him."

"Yeah yeah. You and your love for your daughter. You're too sentimental for an old man who lived in the Supernatural World." Emily waved it off with her hand as if it wasn't too important.

"Now then… Where should I start?" She murmured and then raised her brows. "Ah, from that point will be good. So…"

Emily began to tell the story to Kai. It began with Suzuka's return to Japan. At that time, the situation in Japan was a bit rowdy. Thanks to the Boogeymen's rampage, many Supernatural organizations in almost every country fell into chaos.

At such a rough time, she chose to return to Japan instead of staying with her son. The reason was simple. There was just not enough capable Onmyouji back in Japan, and she needed to seal some demons.

Many seals, including the one in Japan, were destroyed at that time. And she and the Ashiya and Keikain Families embarked on fixing some of these seals.

According to Emily, not many people could exorcize ghosts. At least, only Humans and Youkais had the technique to exorcize ghosts. Devils could easily destroy them with their technique, as their Spirit Power was a bit special.

The Races such as Dragons, Vampires, Werewolves, and many others needed a tool to exorcize ghosts. That was where the business thrived for Shaman and Onmyouji.

Fast forward a few days after Suzuka's return. The family situation became worse, and they were divided into two factions when the seal in Japan was completely destroyed.

One faction said it would be better to seal the hole to the Astral Plane, while the other said it would be better to leave it so they could profit from it.

In the middle of all that was Suzuka, the only person in Japan who had the power to seal that Astral Plane.

"Wait a minute." Kai interrupted the story at that time, raising his hand.

"Hm? Is there something wrong?"

"That hole…" He began, remembering a certain something that looked like a 'hole' in his dream. "Does it look like a hole created by a Supernatural disaster, Tear? And does it pulsate dark energy that makes your skin crawl?"

"Huh? You know about it." Emily sounded a bit surprised, and Marcus looked at his grandson with curious eyes. Then the old woman touched her chin, realizing something. "You read it in the Dragon King Castle, didn't you?" she guessed.

Still, that was a wrong guess. He didn't read about it in the Dragon King Castle. He experienced it himself.

Judging from Emily and Marcus' reactions, they didn't seem to realize that the same hole had appeared in New York 10 years ago. But was that really the case? He could have added that hole part that looked like a pulsating portal in his memories due to the shadow's interference.

That didn't really matter, though. However, he noticed something.

'Abe no Seimei's soul or whatever it was is still in the Astral Plane. And that person knows something.'

"Yes." He nodded at Emily's guess. For now, there was no need to tell them anything. He would just try to find out the truth himself.

And if Abe no Seimei was truly still in the Astral Plane, then if possible, he would like to meet that man once again. Kai had a lot of questions he wanted to ask and understand.

The question was how to fully use his power. What did the world expect from him? How was his body able to harness the power of a Mythical creature? And what kind of person Abe no Seimei was.

The curiosity he couldn't sate at that time was gnawing inside him. But Kai had learned to be patient, so he would wait.

"Ah! As expected. Well, let's continue the story, shall we?"
