"She looks beautiful." Konoka said, with a bright smile.
"Aw, thanks Konoka-Chan." Chidori said.
"Time really has been on her side, seriously everyone thought she was an immortal or something." A familiar voice stated.
Walking towards them was a middle-aged man walked towards them, with a smile on his face. "Dad! It's been so long!" Konoka called out, as she ran to hug him.
"Hahaha! There, there Konoka." He responded.
Everyone were smiling, while Negi was left dumbstruck.
"So sophisticated…wonderful…he might just be…" Asuna stated, with her eyes were basically gleaming.
While everyone were looking at her with a confused expression. Negi walked up and was handing the letter to Eishin.
"U…Um…Chief-San…about this…" Negi said, nervously as he handed him the letter. "I have a letter for the Chief of the West from Konoe Konoemon, Principal of Mahora Academy and Chief of the East."
"I know all about it, Negi-Kun." Eishun responded.
Once he read it sweat dropped from his forehead.
"By the will of the Chief of the East, we will also work to eradicate our differences with those in the west. Please tell him that. Good Work, Negi Springfield-Kun!" Eishun declared.
As everyone was celebrating Negi safely delivering the letter, Chidori noticed the expression on Takeo's face.
"Ta-Chan, you found out didn't you?" Chidori asked him.
Takeo only nodded, silently. Chidori looked back at him with a saddened expression.
"Very well, I would like for you to come with me. Along with your allies who knows about magic." Chidori responded.
Once everyone finished celebrating, Takeo along with Negi, Chamo, Asuna, Setsuna, Shiro, Yue and Nodoka met with Chidori and Eishun.
"I'm sure you probably have lots to ask. But I'm sure your estranged uncle's name already summed it up." Chidori stated.
"Kagutsuchi Shinto. One of the 10 Shinto Gods, the God of Fire and Destruction." Eishun added, with a strained expression.
"You saying to the one who gave Takeo that scar, was his own uncle?" Asuna asked, with a confused expression.
"That would mean, Takeo-San's father is…" Yue said, wearing a stunned expression.
"Raijin Shinto, the God of Thunder and Lightning. He was a troublemaker among his siblings, he basically ran away from home and reincarnated himself as a human." Chidori stated.
"Alright, I get that. What I don't get is why that bastard of an uncle is trying to kill me!" Takeo said, with an angered expression.
Chidori started crying anime tears, which stunned everyone.
"Ta-Chan…yelled at his own mother." Chidori said, as she placed her hands over her face.
"M-Mom, stop crying." Takeo said, with an embarrassed and ashamed expression.
"It's because he hates humans, correct?" Yue asked.
Everyone turned towards Yue, who activated her Pactio Item. Arcanum of Magic. She looked down and began reading:
The first Shinto Gods Izanagi and Izanami sworn to protect humans from any and all threats. But, they couldn't do it on their own so they decided to create a family of Immortal Saviors.
The first two children were twins, Amaterasu the Goddess of the Sun. And Tsukiyomi the Goddess of the Moon.
The third, was the Warrior God of Storms Susanoo. The fourth, was the Dragon God of the Sea Ryūjin. The fifth, the God of War and Protector Hachiman. The second twins, Raijin the God of Thunder and Lightning. And Fūjin the God of Wind.
And the last one born was Kagutsuchi the God of Flames. The Immortal Children of the Gods swore to protect the humans, from extreme threats. But Kagutsuchi saw the humans as an unnecessary and weak creatures, and sough to exterminate them.
"That's basically everything that you needed to know, you, Haruto, Haruki and Nariko are the offspring of the god of thunder and lightning." Chidori answered.
Everyone looked at Takeo as he was thinking this over.
"Alright, I got my answer. We're God-Human Hybrids." Takeo said, with a satisfied expression. "What do you guys think?" Takeo looked at everyone in the room.
"It really doesn't change anything, you're still the same baka who tries the help everyone." Asuna stated.
"Uh, Takeo-San still is be Takeo-San." Negi added, with a smile. "He's also someone that I respect a lot."
"Since arriving I was suspicious at first, but I then realized Ta-Kun's the type of person who'd defend everyone even if it cost him his life." Setsuna added, with a smile.
"N-Not being human doesn't change anything about Takeo-San." Nodoka added shyly.
"Takeo-San, was willing to be truthful about him being a Mage and even agreed to teach me magic. And so far he's always put his life on the line for everyone." Yue stated, with a slight blush.
"I'm not going anywhere." Takeo said, to himself wearing a smile on his face.
Setsuna heard him and smiled at his comment.
"Takeo-San, where you doing somewhere?" Yue asked.
"No, not anymore." Takeo answered.
After relaxing in the hot springs, everyone returned to their own rooms. Takeo was in his room, lying down with his father's necklace in his hand.
"So I'm the offspring of a human and a god." Takeo said, to himself. "I know the truth, but it's so hard to believe."
As he was thinking to himself, he immediately felt a cold sensation going through his body.
"Crap!" Takeo shouted.
The room he was staying in exploded in a blaze of black flames, Takeo appeared outside of his room instantly using Instant Movement.
[Ta-Kun/Takeo-San]
Takeo took out both of his pactio cards and placed them on his forehead.
"Yes, Se-Chan. Yue-Chan"
[There's trouble, someone's attacked us.]
"Yep, I kinda figured that."
Coming from the flames were Kagutsuchi with a sadistic smile on his face. "I'm taking that Dharma from you." Kagutsuchi stated.
"Really? Try it." Takeo responded, with a nervous smirk on his face.
[Ojou-Sama was just kidnapped. I'm going after her….]
"It's okay. Se-Chan, go get Konoka-Chan back."
[Will you be alright, will you be alright?]
"I'll manage."
[Takeo-San, I'm going to get more help!]
Takeo placed the cards in his pocket, and placed his dog tag around his neck. Kagutsuchi surrounded him and charged at him with black flames in his hand. And Takeo surrounded his hand in lighting and prepared a spell.
While in the forest Yue, was leaning against a tree with her cellphone in her hand. She quickly dialed the number and placed it to her ear.
[Nagase here De Gozaru. Oh? Baka Leader?]
"Kadae-San!"
[Hmm. What's wrong? You have to calm down first De Gozaru. Calm Down.]
"We're in the mountains in the west! Just come and hurry!"
[In the mountains? So basically…you need help De Gozaru…Right, Leader?]
At the hotel and at Mahora, their own forces were on their way to assist them. While in the mountains on Negi's side, him, Setsuna and Asuna were dealing with the mysterious mage Fate. While Takeo was in the middle of a battle with his estranged Uncle.
Kagutsuchi charged at Takeo, with black flames in his hand.
"Fulmine Cadens De Trorum. A Flash of Lightning to Cut through the Night, spring forth from my hands and Throttle my Enemy. White Lightning!"
Both Takeo and Kagutsuchi fired off their own attacks, Kagutsuchi's attack started pushing back Takeo's white lighting. Takeo moved his hand aside, and punched Kagutsuchi in his stomach at full force. Kagutsuchi looked at Takeo with a look of disbelief.
"You filthy human!" Kagutsuchi called out.
Black flames erupted from his entire body, from the air a large blast of white lightning fell down from the sky.
"Takeo-Sama!" Shiro called out, as he landed next to him with Yue on his back.
"Yue-Chan, I'm not exactly sure I can beat this guy. Are you sure you should be here?" Takeo asked, as she jumped off of Shiro.
"Adeat!"
Yue was surrounded with a white light and she full activated her Pactio. In her hand was a magic wand and she pointed it at Kagutsuchi, who was coming from the flames.
"As long as you're fighting, I'll fight as well." Yue stated, with a smile.
