Chapter 65 - Death would be better

After completing all the 'major tasks' Tatsuya was lying down with a happy face and the same blissfull expression was present on both Kunou's and Yasaka's face.

Tatsuya was then brought back to his senses by a voice which said, "Looks like you are having the time of your life." Tatsuya became serious and said, "Not a word out of your mouth and you can sleep in my room for a week. Deal Kurumi."

Kurumi who heard him smiled and said, "Deal." Tatsuya then stood up and said, "Yasaka this time I am serious, We need to talk right now. This is very important."

Yasaka who heard his serious tone became serious as well and said, "Ok let's go to my office and discuss what you want to say."Tatsuya nodded and both of them then went to her office.

After an hour of discussion with Yasaka and other elders of the Youkai faction they allowed the Nekomata to stay in the Youkai territory, but will constantly be monitored and would be checked by the others.

Tatsuya talked with Yasaka and Kunou for a bit and then returned back to the underworld. He then explained the matter that he discussed with Yasaka and the others and told them that they were allowed to stay there.

He then went to his teammates and asked, "So what have you all decided?" They all looked at each other for a while and then said, "We don't have any problems with the four of them being in the team. We would have felt the same if we encountered such a situation of being so much helpless." Tatsuya nodded his head and then walked towards the nekoshou who asked to be his slaves.

Tatsuya looked at them and said, "Well it looks like they all have agreed to you four being the part of our team." Hearing this all of them beamed with happiness and said with a smile, "Thanks a lot Tatsuya-sama we will try our best to work for you and will train hard to not hinder you all."

Tatsuya looked at them and then gave them a malicious smile and said, "Don't thank me so early, I will make sure to train you four so hard that you will start to think that death would be better than your life." and started laughing creepily.

Seeing him laugh creepily all four of them took a step back. Himari and the other placed their hands on their shoulders and said, "Don't worry, you will only want to die for the first two weeks or so." Hearing her all four of them had the same thought, 'No No No No No that's something that you should absolutely worry about. They are broken, they are completely broken.' All four of them were covered in cold sweat when suddenly Tatsuya said, "Anyways, I am Tatsuya Shiba and I hope that we all can get along from now on."

A brown haired nekoshou came forward when she heard him. Her hair were straight and long, long enough to reach her waist, and just like her hair she had brown eyes. She bowed her head a bit and said, "Nice to meet you as well my name is Shizuka. Please take care of me from now on."

Following her example a red haired nekoshou bowed her head a bit. The girl had long red hair and red eyes. She looked at Tatsuya and said, "Nice to meet you I am Karin. I look forward to working with you all."

Then a black haired nekoshou with long hair and hazel eyes came forward and said with a serious tone, "Kagura. I hope that I will learn a lot of things under you."

And lastly a light blue haired girl with short hair came forward. She bowed a bit and said, "I am Sinon nice to meet you."

After all of them introduced themselves Tatsuya nodded and said, "We will go back to the headquarters first. I will explain to you about your jobs and all and don't expect me to be lenient, I will make you work to the bone." Tatsuya said in a strict tone and all four of them nodded their heads with determination.

Tatsuya then looked at Asumi and said, "Make sure that all the people of your tribe are here, I am going to take all of you back to the Youkai territory." After he said that he turned around but soon he remembered something and said, "And there is one thing that should be clear to you all. All of you are now dead while fighting the devils who were trying to kill you and since the devils has issued the order of killing your kin, you don't have to worry about them chasing you all."

After that Asumi gathered all of her tribe and all them thanked Tatsuya for all the help that he had given. Tatsuya then accompanied them all back to the Youkai faction territory and after some word spat between Yasaka, Kunou and the rest of Tatsuya's teammates (except the ones that joined now) he teleported them to the hanging gardens of Babylon.

Seeing the Hanging Gardens of Babylon all the four nekoshou were beyond speechless and now they had a new respect for Tatsuya.

Tatsuya then asked others to show them around the place and once they were done Tatsuya gave them his 'basic' training regime.

After going through the regime once the four of them were speechless. They all looked at the others and asked, "Do you all this much training daily?"

Hearing the question all of them shook their heads in denial making them sigh in relief only to become short on breath when they said, "The training we go through is at least 50 times more than the one written in that paper.

Tatsuya then looked at them and said, "Once again welcome to the team and I hope that you all don't die before you are able to reach your desired level of strength."
