He gestured toward the radiant figure.
"She's someone we fought and became our companion — the Goddess of the Sun herself. Meet Ōmikami Amaterasu. Amaterasu, this is Shizuka. You can call her Shizuka-chan. and Shizuka-chan meet Amaterasu, She'll be learning a few things from you in the future."
"A-another woman came to Asahi-niii again?!"
…What?
Everyone froze at Shizuka's outburst. Even Amaterasu stared at her, momentarily stunned.
"Pfft—!"
Tet burst out laughing, nearly dropping her fork as she clutched her stomach.
"AHAHAHA—Shizuka-chan! You said that with such confidence! Another woman for Asahi, you said?!"
Shizuka's face turned bright red. "T-T-Tet! I didn't mean it like that! It just—came out!"
Amaterasu blinked, her calm expression wavering with confusion.
"A… woman? For Asahi-sama?" she murmured, tilting her head like a puzzled shrine maiden. Her golden aura flickered once, shy as a sunrise.
Asahi sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. "…Great. Now she's confused too."
Tet wiped a tear from her eye. "Hahahahahah. Oh my stomach, You're really funny when you panic, Shizuka-chan."
"I'M NOT panicking!"
Amaterasu stepped forward, her movements smooth like flowing light. She placed a hand over her wide sleeved and slight bow to her
"I believe there has been a misunderstanding," she said serenely. "I am not a… rival of yours, Shizuka-dono."
"R-rival?!" Shizuka squeaked.
Asahi choked. "Oi."
Tet wheezed.
"I pledged my loyalty to Asahi-sama," Amaterasu continued. "He defeated me in honorable combat. As a Goddess, and by the contract formed in that battle, it is only natural that I now serve him."
"H-however…" She glanced aside, her cheeks faintly tinted red. "If he did ask me to sleep with him, I hope to ask for time… to prepare myself."
"Wha—?!" Asahi stiffened as he heard that.
Shizuka's eye twitched as her imagination immediately ran wild.
"S-serve… Asahi-nii? As in—servant?!"
"STOP. That's enough," Asahi cut in firmly. "Shizuka-chan, when did you learn things like that? Grandma Chiyo warned you about watching too much TV. And Amaterasu's situation is the same as Tet's."
Shizuka quickly looked away. "T-then… like Tet… doesn't that mean she's already in your harem too?"
...
The room froze.
Even Amaterasu's glow flickered.
…What?
When did she learn that word?
Before Asahi could reply, Tet jumped in went beside to Asahi held his arm.
"Hehehe! You got it, right Shizuka-chan, Ama-chan is already part of Asahi's harem!"
"Oi." Slightly light chop.
"Ow!" Tet yelped, clutching her head.
"Stop teasing her," Asahi said flatly. "Explain what happened in Italy."
Grumbling while pouting, Tet did as told — recounting the battle, Amaterasu's defeat, and the contract that followed. Then she tapped Shizuka lightly on the forehead.
"This'll be faster."
A faint glow flowed into Shizuka's mind.
Her eyes widened as memories flooded in — the battlefield, divine radiance, clashing powers. For a moment, it felt as though she stood within the battle herself.
When it ended, she blinked rapidly then stared at Asahi with sparkling eyes.
"OHHH! Asahi-nii, you're amazing! You really beat that huge monster! And Amaterasu-sama almost got you too! B-but—who was that guy in the black coat along with others?"
Asahi continued eating calmly. "Alex-nii. You could say he's the Campione of Europe."
"A K-King?!"
Tet grinned. "He kinda acts like one."
"Why are they there and didnt help you with?" Shizuka slightly complain.
"I don't know much, from what i know he is not in condition to battle" Asahi sighed.
"But, they help us afterward battle... even shelter us" Tet smirked looking at Asahi trying say something regarding first what happened when Asahiw woke up.
"O-okay thats enough. Let's eat. the food is getting cold now..." Before Tet to say something Asahi quikly interrupt her.
"Okay!"
The room soon filled with gentle warmth — quiet laughter, clinking dishes, and Amaterasu's soft glow blending into the homely air.
For that moment, there were no battles, no misunderstandings, no chaos.
Just all of them enjoying the snacks Asahi had made.
-----
Later that night, the house fell quiet.
Shizuka returned home.
Tet's room glowed faintly with the sounds of button presses.
Asahi who was in his office putting all the information he had in the italy.
Meanwhile Amaterasu stood by the open veranda, moonlight washing over her like pale gold.
"Master," she said softly.
"Yeah?"
"Why did you decide to teach her how to fight?"
"..."
He stop at his work and look at her blinked.
"Her family is ordinary," Amaterasu continued. "She was not born into the supernatural. Teaching her strength invites her danger."
Asahi stared at her, then sighed.
"…Is that what you thought?"
She bowed immediately. "Forgive me, Master. I did not mean to question your judgment."
"Ah-No," he said gently. "You misunderstood."
He rubbed the back of his neck. "The first time she discover the supernatural, When I was unconscious after a fight with Tet in the Training chamber. I didn't even know how she'd entered the training chamber."
Amaterasu listened intently.
"She saw me training. Asked questions. I know if i refuse on it She wouldn't leave me alone," he said with a faint smile. "So I decided to go along and taught her a little. Mostly for fun and tried some training that will give up."
"And she did not quit," Amaterasu said.
"Not even once," he impressed replied. "She complained, fell, got hurt. But she always came back." Remembering that time was quote felt bad and slight proud of it.
His gaze drifted down the hallway.
"She was just a kid," he said quietly. "But stubborn child. More like she was having fun which most i know."
Amaterasu felt something settle in her chest.
"I kept teaching her the basics," Asahi continued. "Then I realized she had talent — especially with the sword. so I got curious."
"How much can she learn?" he added, "The moment she awakened her aura/magic and more breathing style, I knew I couldn't turn her away. So I teach her everything."
Amaterasu sighed. "You sure are an irresponsible one, master."
"Hahaha...Maybe," Asahi said. "But rest assured, Amaterasu. I won't involve her too much to another side. I'm only teaching her to protect herself… and possible it might help us in the future canon."
"The future…" Amaterasu mumble hearing what her Master said know what she talking about.
Who is Kusanagi Shizuka?
Kusanagi Shizuka is the younger sister of the heaven's choice, Godou Kusanagi.
Who was will be the future god slayer.
In the share memories with his master she know what kind of Shizuka is.
Despite being a younger sister, she realized she has talent,
A very strong-willed little girl.
Knowing the supernatural is real by her master in scary way.
Instead having natural scared little girl.
Shizuka more like were determine to help her master and excited to know more magic in her lesson.
Everything her master teach him was more like she capable learning it.
Even in training Asahi managed to learn later on Shizuka was able to awaken her Haki(observation) during her battle in the dojo when she challenge them.
"Thats why...I have a request from you Amaterasu.."
"What is it, Master?"
"Could you teach her? One or two thing of your skills"
Asahi seeing her status as prominent combat she capable to teach her more swordsmanship and Archery which could gain more experience for Shizuka.
Also he was more curios how much can Shizuka can learn from her.
Amaterasu went on knee and bowed to the floor. "If the sister of a heaven's choice walks this path," she said, "As your servant, Then I will watch over her and teach her enough to protect another."
Asahi exhaled quietly with relief. "Thanks. I'm counting on you, Amaterasu. Seriously, You dont need to bow like that"
Amaterasu raise her head look at Asahi and ask, "Then, how about you, Master?"
"Mhm?"
"What is it your plan?"
"Well...Im gonna focus to train all my skill and tried to make something along with it." Asahi take out from his [Storage] and put in the table spread it to show Amaterasu.
"Is that..." Amaterasu looking the blue print a mechanical style drawing.
"Yes, If my theories are right, then it might possible to make it. Thats why I got this.. " Asahi take out the scrolls and book in the box he got from the Shop.
[Shikigami arts]
[History of Omyoudou]
[Enchantments arts]
[Light arts Enchantment]
"....If you manage to make it. This might be revolution to all system of Onmyoudou." Amaterasu excitedly respond, imagining if this is work then this will be sign of rebirth of Onmyoudou.
"Hahaha. Calm down, Amaterasu. Its still just a theory for now, I have to ask for help to you and Tet to make it possible."
"I will gladly give you my full support, Master." Amaterasu looking at her Master with resolute.
"Thank you, Ama-chan. You look cute when you're serious. " Hearing it Asahi couldn't help to feel happy and compliment her.
"?!..Yes.." Amaterasu was startle caught her off guard which unconsciously cover her face with kimono sleeve and replied with low voice.
As the two talking both were looking forward to the future.
