The Sword Deity in Tokyo

Tokyo, Kisei High School, Class One of the junior year.

"After you guys leave, please remember to attend your cram school. You're all junior year students and there's still two semesters till the college entrance exams which will determine your future. Hence, don't fool around during the summer vacation and study well."

The teacher stood on the podium and said earnestly. However, looking at the impatient students who were busy looking at the students leaving school outside the window, the teacher sighed and waved her hand. "Class dismissed."

"Hooray!" As soon as the teacher shouted, the students in the classroom started to cheer.

Otome Sakagami did not cheer like the other students in the class. As she was about to stand up after tidying up her books, she saw her boyfriend, Keiichi Koizumi coming to her side. He said bashfully, "Oto… Otome, are we going home together?" Even though they had been dating for quite some time, it was obvious that Keiichi Koizumi had not adjusted his mindset. He was even stuttering out his girlfriend's name. 

As he was standing next to Otome Sakagami, he could clearly see the hatred and envious eyes of his classmates who were staring at him.

Otome Sakagami could not be regarded as a striking beauty but she was definitely a girl with fine features. What really made her popular among the boys in school was her snow white skin. As the saying goes, a white complexion is powerful enough to hide seven faults. It was perfectly reflected on Otome Sakagami.

Otome Sakagami got up and held Keiichi Koizumi's hand. She then smiled gently and said, "Alright, let's go home together."

Both of them left school under the burning gaze of the students. Without the murderous glares of his classmates, Keiichi Koizumi let out a sigh of relief. His mind became clear as he relaxed and asked, "Otome, what's your plan for summer break?"

"Plan…" Otome Sakagami's eyes wandered and she smiled. "Keiichi, your academic performance was just average. The teacher is right, you should study for the exam during the summer break. Otherwise, we will be having a long distance relationship if we end up in different universities,"

Uhm… Upon hearing this, a sense of crisis rose in Keiichi Koizumi's heart. However, he was still doubtful even though they had been together for so many days. 

Seeing that her boyfriend was being hesitant to speak up, Otome Sakagami asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is there something that you want to ask? You can just tell me since we are already a couple."

As Keiichi Koizumi heard this, he clenched his teeth and asked, "Otome… Why did you choose me?" He did not confess his feelings to Otome because he was courageous. Instead, he did so under the jeers of his best friends. 

But to his surprise, Otome Sakagami accepted his confession. Even his friends were shocked. They had been dating like an ordinary couple for a few days and it made him feel unreal.

"That's because Keiichi is gentle." Upon hearing Keiichi Koizumi's question, Otome Sakagami who was walking in front of him went on tiptoe and turned slightly to look at him. The breeze brushed through her hair as she showed her charming smile. "In my eyes, Keiichi is an excellent guy. That's why I accepted your confession. Otherwise, I will not have chosen Keiichi among all the others who confessed to me. Keiichi, you have to be confident."

Too bad it was not the cherry blossom season. Or else, with the falling cherry blossoms, it would be a beautiful scene. But even so, Keiichi Koizumi was still stunned.

Seeing this, a red light flashed in Otome Sakagami's eyes. She smiled softly and pulled Keiichi Koizumi's arm. A touch of pink spread through her cheeks and she whispered, "Keiichi, I know that you may be insecure. During the summer vacation, which is tomorrow, I may have to return to my hometown… So… Come home with me now…Okay? There's no one in my house today." 

After hearing this, Keiichi Koizumi felt his throat went dry. As a guy, a strong and healthy guy and a guy who was not the owner of a harem, he could not refuse. He nodded with heavy breaths. Obviously, he could not resist the charm of Otome Sakagami.

Soon, Keiichi Koizumi was taken to Otome Sakagami's home. He looked at Otome Sakagami's house and froze for a moment. After knowing that he was dating Otome Sakagami, his friends had the situation analyzed. 

Both his parents had passed away and he had inherited a huge amount of estate. Therefore, they guessed that Otome Sakagami was interested in his fortune and wanted to find an ATM. Thus, she found him.

But, Keiichi Koizumi was now ashamed as Otome Sakagami's house was much bigger than his. The decoration was also more luxurious than his home. Most importantly, during their previous dates, Otome Sakagami had always refused to let him pay for her. They would always go Dutch. 

It seemed like Otome Sakagami was really in love with him and thus she agreed to get into a relationship with him. Thinking of this, Keiichi Koizumi felt a little ashamed. But, when he thought of the thing that they were about to do, his throat was parched again.

Otome Sakagami quickly brought Keiichi Koizumi into her room. At that moment, Keiichi Koizumi was breathing heavily. He did not even have the energy to take a look at his girlfriend's room and sat on her bed in a dazed. Then, his body was gently pushed by Otome Sakagami and the next moment he was lying on the bed… 

The last thing that Keiichiro Koizumi's conscious mind could remember was the pain he felt in his neck. In less than a minute, his body became weak and his eyelids became heavy. He opened his mouth and sounded, "O…" The next moment, he fell asleep and had not woken up since.

Otome Sakagami did not stop sucking his blood. She slowly stopped as Keiichi's Koizumi's sturdy body had become thinner and was left with all skin and bones. 

"Both parents are dead and have not many friends…" Otome Sakagami looked at the dead body in front of her and licked her lips. She then gently waved her little hand and the corpse on the bed immediately turned into ashes. A faint stench which filled the air instantly dissipated as she opened the window. She exclaimed, "It's really the best food!"

After cleaning up her room, Otome Sakagami packed her luggage. She did not lie to Keiichi Koizumi as she was really going back to her hometown tomorrow.

The next day, Otome Sakagami arrived at Kyoto. Then, she got on a bus. Halfway through the journey, a strange group of people boarded the bus. Two of them were wearing kariginu. One was old and another was young. Along with them, a young girl was wearing a red and white hakama, carrying a bow bag. It was fascinating to see the unification of ancient and modern times. Another two people got on the bus after the three of them. Compared to the previous three, two of them were pretty normal.

A man and a woman. Both of them were carrying swords in their hands which was kind of astonishing.

There were not many people on the shabby bus which went to various towns or villages. Most of them on the bus were middle-aged men and the elderly. There were basically no young people like Otome Sakagami on the bus.

As the five of them were sitting down, Otome Sakagami who was sitting in the back suddenly let out a groan. Mhm.

She could smell an extremely delicious taste from them. The smell even made her drool. Especially the guy in casual attire with a wooden sword in his hand.

However, goosebumps erupted all over her body as she was about to think of some bad idea. A strong sense of danger rose in her heart, causing her to restrain herself and her blurry eyes to turn cautious.
