Chapter 1925: Plans

"Drake, you came from Earth right? I've heard from other souls from that world that they talk about a country called Japan where its mythology greatly aligns with Zipangu," the Fox Venerable said. "It seems you recognize that word, do you know what they are?"

"Barely anything much..." I muttered. "But I think they're like Spirits or Monsters? Or something similar to Yokai? That are employed by Sorcerers. I think they could use them in various ways, defensively, offensively, to create barriers or formations. Maybe seal other demons and monsters."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Yes, similar to that," nodded the Fox venerable. "You nailed it. Shikigami have as many functions and powers as the sorcerer that uses them has imagination. Although each form of use for them comes with different specific materials you need... Usually. But yours seem special, I think you could try using them right away without having to make paper dolls or something."

"Paper Dolls?" Yuki wondered. "Well, whatever, that's nice to hear! So how do I use them? If they can be of some use then I'm in for learning and stuff."

"Okay, I guess I could teach you the basics," said the Venerable. "However, there's not much time... I'll probably have to inject some information and knowledge directly into your brain. That would probably help you comprehend them better."

"W-What? Into my brain? That's a thing?" Yuki cried.

"It should be possible as long as our dear psychic over here lends me his power," said the Fox Venerable.

Huh? Wait, does she mean me?

"So you want me to help her..." I said.

"Not you, the Spirit you made," she suddenly said. "The Psychic Spirit you've been hiding from me! I want to see that entity! I am amused you even managed to create such an entity. I'm honestly shocked. I tried many times to make something similar before, but nothing worked."

"... What are you two even murmuring about?" I sighed. "Come no Yuki, let's go eat first. You can train later."

"A-Ah, right... the dessert picnic!" Yuki nodded. "Sorry venerable, I have to go, I'll come back in like an hour maybe."

"Huh, so you're even making me wait, a venerable such as myself! I would probably be really bothered and angry, if it wasn't because you're the reincarnation of a piece of the soul of Amaterasu-sama, and therefore I shall forgive you for now," the fox woman sighed. "But don't you dare- Hey! Let me finish my words at the very least, you unmannered children!" She complained angrily as we just left her behind, finally sitting down next to my family, they had already placed all the desserts over the picnic blanket.

"Papa's back!" Benladra said. "Here, eat the orange before it goes bad!"

"Oh! Right, right! Sorry for being late, ended talking a bit too much honestly..." I sighed.

"It's fine, we could mostly feel it from a mile away," said Benladann. "So Yuki, you've grown stronger now?"

"Y-Yeah, a lot I think...." Yuki muttered. "I got a Spirit Core now and stuff, it's kind of powerful. But I need training to use this new power properly, and I don't have the time... so we're doing some experimental stuff, and the fox woman is going to insert knowledge into my head so I can learn how to use this power easily and more quickly."

"O-Oh, well that's a lot..." Benladann said.

"I guess that's a good thing," Andromeda nodded. "Have some orange as well."

"T-Thanks..." Yuki gulped saliva as she saw the huge piece of juicy orange.

We quickly grabbed it, as if it were more like a piece of watermelon and took a huge bite off it.

The juices practically erupted out of the orange slice with that single bite. The orange was much sweeter than I imagined, combined with the citric and refreshing taste, it was a perfect combination.
