-Chapter 10-
LEGENDARY YOKAI APPEARS!
"Hmmmm…" Ken hummed as he was looking at something at his desk.
"Master Ken, I brought you some nice refreshing glass of juice," Yuray said as she carried a tray with a glass of juice on it.
Yuray noticed Ken was really focusing on something. "Is there something wrong, Master Ken?"
"Hmmm, well it is just that I really don't know what to do with these," he said as he showed her the pile of YokaiMedals he collected.
"Ah! Your Yokai Medal," she noticed.
"You sure collected those medals over time, partner," Lasagnyan said as she ate her lasagna.
"Yeah, but I really don't know what to do with it. Starting off, I don't know where to put all these," Ken said.
"No need to worry, Master Ken! I have prepared something for when this would happen eventually," Yuray said as she took out a big red book.
"What is that book for?" He asked.
"This is the Yokai Medallium. This book is for holding your Yokai medal for safekeeping. This way, you can keep them safely and neatly," Yuray explained.
"That's a relief," he said as he opened to the first page and saw empty slots that shape like a medal.
He inserted each medal into the slot. "And here is the last one, one I received from Andrey," he finished. Suddenly, the book suddenly moved by itself and centered itself in the center of his bedroom.
"What the heck!? Is this book possessed or something?!" Ken echoed.
"This can't be! Did you collect the right medals already?" Yuray thought aloud.
"What in tarnation is going on!?" Lasagnyan asked.
The book changed to a different page, where it showed a strange golden marking.
"What is going on, Yuray?" Ken questioned.
"It seems like you did it, Master Ken!" Yuray exclaimed.
"Did what exactly?!" He asked.
"You met and collected medals from certain Yokai, and with their medals, you have unlocked a way to summon a Legendary Yokai!" Yuray admitted.
"Legendary Yokai?" He repeated.
"Yes, Master Ken, Legendary Yokai!" She repeated. "They are type of powerful and rare Yokai with tremendous strength! They can only appear when you complete a certain set of Yokai Medal in the Legendary Page, and now one is going to be summoned now!"
Suddenly, the summoning energy appeared in golden color, different from the usual color when the summoningis done while the chant began to sing. On the Legendary Page, seven medals were inserted deeply into each of its hole; Dizzy-Top (Mysterious), Brokalin (Eerie), Dremona (Shady), Lasagnyan (Charming), Violeton (Heartful), Frustracano (Tough), and InuKamen (Brave).
"Imaginary! Incendiary! Flip flap, squiggle boom, slim slam, Legendary!"
A blast of energy beam shot out of the book's Legendary Page, which phased through the ceiling fortunately. Ken, Yuray, and Lasagnyan closed their eyes until the light settled down. It lasted for 20 seconds or less, but they noticed nothing changed.
Ken looked around and used his Yokai Watch to check around his room. "I don't see any new Yokai around here."
"What!? But, that can't be! The seal is broken, unsealed! A Legendary Yokai should have appeared by now!" Yuray gasped as she checked the book, and even shook it upside down to make sure if the Yokai didn't appear correctly.
"Well, it looks like to me that the Medallium is the one that's broken. Plus, it is kind of late now. I think it's time to head to bed," Ken said as he decided to go to bed.
"It's time to get some shut-eye, y'all," Lasagnyan agreed as she curled herself up into a ball, and began snoozing.
"Strange. It should have worked," Yuray mumbled sadly.
The next morning, Ken and Lasagnyan walked to his school while Yuray was still thinking about the Legendary Page.
"What's wrong, Sugarcube? Are you still bump about the Legendary Yokai didn't show up and all?" Lasagnyan asked.
"Yes I am," she nodded. "But, I know that it should work. Master Ken has collected enough medals, and the seal was broken. So, how come the Legendary Yokai has not appeared?"
"Don't worry about it. I am sure that it will appear somewhere eventually. Hopefully, it won't cause trouble when we meet it," Ken said as they arrived at the school.
After some classwork, lunch time began. Everyone lined up their desk together into multiple groups. Unfortunately, Ken didn't bring his lunch as usual because of Yuray was still thinking about the Legendary Yokai not appearing problem all the time, so he has to eat the school's lunch with his classmates. Today's lunch was curry rice, but of all the kids in his classroom, Ken didn't like curry rice.
"Curry today?" Ken questioned with a dislike in his tone.
"What's wrong, Ken? You don't curry rice?" Keita asked.
"Not really," Ken answered honestly.
"What?! You don't like curry rice? This stuff is GOOD!" Kuma stated.
"I don't mind the rice part, but I just don't like the curry itself," Ken said.
"Well, it is a waste if you don't eat it," Kanchi said.
Ken moaned as he just stared at the curry rice, which most Japanese kids would just crave into it, but Ken was not from here or born in Japan.
"Here, Ken. I will trade your curry rice with my loaf of bread," Fumika offered.
"What?!" Keita gasped.
"Huh? Oh, that is not necessarily. I will be fine," Ken declined.
"No, no! Please have it. You got to eat, anyway. I insist," Fumika said as she smiled kindly, giving off a strange nice aura.
"Oh, well, OK…" Ken accepted the loaf of bread plainly as he traded the curry rice to Fumika.
Next came recess time. Ken headed to his usual spot at the school rooftop, not joining anyone to play noticed him, and decided to follow him.
Yuray, who was at the rooftop and still thinking about the problem with the Legendary Summon, didn't notice Ken came to the rooftop, except Lasagnyan did.
"Howdy, partner. How was your lunch?" She asked.
"It was fine. I ate a loaf of bread that I traded with Fumika," Ken said.
"Ooooh, Fumi-chan, that pretty girl I see," Lasagnyan said as she made that certain look.
"It's nothing like that," Ken grimaced.
"Then why did she follow you?" Lasagnyan asked, using her tail to point to who was behind him.
Ken turned around and surprised a bit to see Fumika as she smiled, giving off a nice aura.
"Oh, Fumika, what are you doing here?" Ken asked.
"Oh, I'm just here to see what you are doing. So, this is where you hang out during recess all the time," Fumikasaid as she looked around.
"Um, yeah, that's right," he said, feeling a bit weird.
"I understand why you come here every day. It's pretty out here! I can even see my house from here," she said.
"Um, yeah. It is kind of nice up here," Ken said as he laughed a bit weirdly.
"That's good to hear. I think I will hang out with you from now on," she said as she smiled very warmly.
"Ahhhhhh…" Ken stared at her confusingly.
Meanwhile, Keita and Whisper spied on them as he stared at them through the opened door, which was slightly opened.
"I can't believe it! Fumi-chan actually lo..lov….like Ken very much!" Keita exclaimed in whispering tone. "This has to be the work of Yokai!"
"Now, now, Keita-kun, that cannot be possible. Fumi-chan is just probably being nice to Ken since Ken-san is not very social person. There is no Yokai who can make her…" Whisper blabbed on.
"Found it!" Keita exclaimed.
"Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatt!?" Whisper shouted, causing the door to open.
Ken, Yuray, and Fumika turned around to see Keita and Whisper as they both had a sweatdrop for being exposed.
"Keita? Whisper? What are you two doing here?" Ken asked.
"I, I, I was…Whatever! Fumi-chan is being possessed by a Yokai, Ken!" Keita claimed as he pointed at the culprit.
"She is?" Ken questioned as he used his Yokai Watch to check, and when he did, he was surprised. "Woah! You're right!"
"Hello boys. It is so nice to meet you all. My name is Purangel," the little Yokai introduced as she smiled nicely.
Purangel is a humanoid Yokai who looks like 5 years old. She has long white hair that reached all the way to her shoulders, and her eyes are ocean blue color. She wears a white headband with a pair of angel wings on the left, sundress dress that falls to the middle of her thighs, with a gray underdress below her sundress, and gray shorts. Her dress shoes are golden with white bows in the center for each shoe. She also has angel wings in medium size on her back.

"Ah ha! So the Legendary Yokai did appear! I knew it!" Yuray exclaimed as she cheered for herself for being right.
"I can see that, but what is this Yokai exactly?" Ken asked.
"Let me see here…" Whisper said as he took out his Yokai pad before Yuray gets a chance to say it.
"Oh, this Yokai is Purangel…" She spoke.
"Darn it!" Whisper muttered.
"She is a Legendary Yokai who makes the possessed person give off a nice and pure aura. Whoever she possesses will make them very nice to others, no matter if the other people are criminal or dangerous," Yurayexplained.
"That explains why Fumika has acted so nice to me," Ken realized.
"At least that's a relief," Keita whispered.
"OK, Purangel, why don't you just leave Fumika alone?" Ken asked her.
"OK, but I want to have some fun with you. Try to catch me before I possess someone else!" She declared as she ran away, leaving Fumika unpossessed.
"She's getting away!" Yuray shouted.
"Come back here!" Ken yelled as he chased after the Yokai. "Keita, you take care of Fumika!"
"Huh? Oh right, sure!" Keita nodded.
As he tried to catch Purangel, she was a fast runner.
"Try to catch me, Ken-kun! Wheeeee!" Purangel said as she was actually enjoying this.
"For small Yokai, she moves fast!" Ken claimed.
Suddenly, Purangel stopped running. Ken and Yuray stopped, too and saw what happened. Purangel was staring at Ken's homeroom teacher, who was talking with some of his students.
"She stopped," Ken noted.
"It appears so," Yuray agreed. "I wonder why."
Purangel looked at Ken's teacher with a horrified expression. Suddenly, she screamed at the top of the lung, causing the teacher to hear the scream, which sounded a bit faint to him.
"Huh? What was that?" He wondered as Purangel turned away and ran toward Ken.
"Here she comes!" Ken stated as he got ready.
He caught the little Yokai very easily, but she tried to struggle herself out of Ken's arms.
"Woah! Easy there! Calm down, Purangel!" Ken said as he held her tight.
"I'm…I'm scared!" She cried as she shivered in fear.
"Come on, Master Ken. Let's take her somewhere more private," Yuray suggested. He agreed with her, so they went off somewhere private.
-Yo-Kai Watch-
Ken and Yuray took Purangel to the backyard of the school where nobody else was around.
"Are you alright, Purangel?" Ken asked.
"Yes. I am fine right now," she said as she drank a glass of water provided by Yuray.
"What has happened to you back then? You got all spook and started to run away uncontrollably," Yuray said.
"It's just that…I am scared of an adult," she said shyly.
"You're scared of an adult? Oh, do you mean my teacher?" Ken realized. "Don't worry. He is actually a very nice guy."
"That's not exactly what I mean. I mean, I'm scared of an adult, any adults. Whether if he or she is nice or not," she said.
"Why? Why are you so afraid of an adult?" Ken asked as he sat next to her, giving her a comfort.
"Well, it all started when I was just a normal human girl," she started. "I was a very, very smart girl. When I was 2 years old, I was already in 5th grade."
"Wow! That's a quite an accomplishment," Yuray gasped.
"Thank you, but that is not all. When I became 5 years old, I was in 10th grade and taught in one class. I was pretty much a genius, and I had a very good family, and we were very rich. I had the happiest life any girls can ever have," she said.
"I see. But, now you are Yokai," Ken said.
"Yes and how I became into this is a very sad story. You see, my mother…she passed away when she got an incurable illness and that was when my father became very mean, and abusive to me and my brothers, and sisters. As my brothers and sisters ran away from home, my father became more abusive until I was the only one left," she said.
"What horror! I never heard such a horrible, defiant man who is your father!" Yuray angered.
"Yuray…" Ken gave her the look.
"Oh, my apology, I got a bit to carry away there," she said.
"That's alright," Purangel said as she continued her story. "In the end, I also decided to run away, but I got caught by my father and used a knife to kill me."
Ken and Yuray looked horrified, with an expression that cannot be easily explained. "When I woke up, I became into a Yokai and saw my father getting arrested by the police. Ever since then, I wondered around and possessed many children because I think of them as lucky for not having abusive parents. It is also the reason I don't possess adults."
Ken slowly padded on Purangel's head as she noticed it, and felt much warmed. "Sorry to hear that, Purangel. I mean, I heard a lot about abusive parents and all, but I never heard such a bad history like yours."
"Tee hee. Thank you very much, Ken-san. You are the nicest kid I ever met. I believe that you will become a very kind adult someday," she said as her body glowed in light, making her Yokai Medal appear.
Her medal was in golden frame, with herself in the picture as she posed, smiled, and padded a stray cat.
"Congratulations, Master Ken! You got your first Legendary Yokai Medal!" Yuray cheered him.
"Thanks, Yuray," Ken replied with a kind tone.
"With my medal, Ken-san, we are now friends. You can summon me anytime when you need a help," she said as she smiled and gave off a nice aura again.
"Of course," Ken said as he smiled nicely, too.
"Oooohh…" Yuray awed.
"Huh? What's wrong, Yuray? Why are you looking at me like that?" Ken asked.
"Oh, it's nothing. It is just that…you look very happy," Yuray said.
"Huh? Well, OK,
This first month of my new life in Sakura New Town, Japan was very hectic, strange, and just pure crazy! However…I think that is not really a bad thing. I don't want to admit this out loud, but I really love this town, and all the Yokai I ever met so far. I feel…like I really grown to this town because of them, these strange creatures called Yokai, ever since I met Yuray. I don't know why, but I am looking forward to meet more Yokai whenever or wherever they will show up.
Another new chapter! This chapter introduces our the winner of the SYOC Legendary Yokai Contest, "Purangel" by Princess Page. Congratulations!
As for everyone who submitted their Legendary Yokai, I really loved them all, so I decided that they will appear later on in the story, and I decided that for every 10th chapter, a new Legendary Yokai will appear. However, for one of the chapters in between Chapter 10 and Chapter 20, I will introduce my very own Legendary Yokai, so please look forward to that as well.
Just to say this before I go, my job is starting in next week, so starting in September there will be time when I will do less update. However, I will continue working on this story when I have the time, so I hope that you all will continue support me.
Another thing I want to say is I decide to do a little short that the anime does in the show, like Koma-san's little story with his younger brother. I have an idea of my own for shorts, but if you have any idea, then you may share it if you want.
With all that said, thank you for reading and I will see you all in the next chapter :)
