Chapter 464: First Fight: Mochi & Kokoro VS Kaguya & Sadako 1
—–
A tournament arc such as those never seen before was about to begin!
It was going to be between ten against ten, with fights of 2v2.
The ones that were going to participate within Frank’s side were Kaguya, Sadako, Gwendolyn, Axitl, Orb, Kamei, Cathyl, and Vheslia.
The fixed fight that was going to be the last one was Clementine and Harumi against Frank and Matsuo.
And Matsuo seemed a bit concerned. He was going to fight against a Demigod and a God, as a mere mortal! Wasn’t that unfair?
And Frank seemed to be completely fine with it, what was wrong within the head of this man?
Matsuo spoke with Frank about the situation, but Frank seemed confident.
“Don’t worry, you’ll be fine, Matsuo.” He said.
“How will I be fine with it?! Just tell another of the people with you to join! There’s plenty of Demigods…” sighed Matsuo.
“But Clementine specifically requested you to join.” Said Frank.
“Ah… You’re right. I guess she won’t give me up no matter what, huh?” sighed Matsuo.
“Nope, she wants you in. And don’t worry, you will be fine.” Said Frank.
“How are you confident?! Can you at least tell me how I am going to be fine?” asked Matsuo.
“Well, if I reveal now, the surprise will be boring.” Said Frank.
“Surprise? S-So I am special? Like Harumi?” asked Matsuo.
“Eh… not so much.” Said Frank.
“Gah! Just tell me alreadyyyy!” cried Matsuo, as Frank pointed at the middle of the fighting arena.
Indeed! There was an arena.
It was actually in the backyard of Clementine’s house, it was a big and old roman-like arena which she had covered with a bubble to block off powers coming from the inside, and it had a lot of seats for the spectators.
The first fight was going to be between Kaguya and Sadako against the Vampire Duo of Mochi and Kokoro.
Mochi and Kokoro were two vampire ladies, which were twins, born from the same mother over 200 years ago, it could be considered that they’re young Vampires by their standards.
They come from the ancient times in Japan when things were not as good. Formerly farmers that became the only survivors when a horde of hungry Yokai destroyed their village’s rice farms, they were picked up by Clementine benevolently, and raised as Vampires through intensive training.
The opportunities given to them made them grow stronger and reach their goal, having revenge against the band of Yokai that did this to her village, slaughtering them all in a fateful day when their group of Vampires finally found the group of enemy Yokai doing all of this mischief around the country’s southeast farming villages.
This was actually a request made to the Vampires by the ancient Emperor at that time, the constant destruction of farming villages was actually a bad thing, even if most of the aristocrats and rich people of that time didn’t give a fuck about the poor people, because this rice was later on sold in large batches to the cities which acquired sustenance from it.
Without rice to eat, the people would starve in those times, when such important meal was incredibly fundamental for the Japanese diet, usually making up to 70% of the food they consumed per day.
Because of this, the Emperor decided to contract the Vampires, who had recently turned into the “righteous” side a few years ago, mostly out of desperation.
After these girls had their revenge, they had felt hollow inside, their purpose was done, all the time they spent training was finally done… yet, they felt hollow, even after slaughtering these monsters, their parents were not going to magically come back…
But Clementine calmed their hearts with her wise words.
“Have you not realized? We had raised you two all this time, aren’t we not your family already? You two are my daughters, and you two have each other as well. Cherish your new lives as our race, and live for those that could not see another tomorrow…”
Her words, which were quite simple yet filled with emotions, inspired the girls to strive forward, and work diligently as agents of the clan, becoming incredibly strong as a duo. Naturally, after almost 200 hundred years since becoming Vampires, they grew to the point of raising to godhood, and turning into Demigoddess.
Even with such power, they didn’t grew arrogant, and were often silent and gentle even with the angriest and most irritable of members of the house, only after Harumi was when they stopped being rather clingy with Clementine, as she had become attached to the baby Harumi and the two realized they were too old now to act as her spoiled girls.
Since then, better times had come, and they had mostly relaxed while doing small missions, enjoying the subculture of the new Japan after the war, and becoming avid Gamers and even working in Maid Cafes within Akihabara just for fun…
Recently, they had become rather avid readers of all sorts of fantasy, and liked to wear beautiful dresses and clothes showing off the modern appeal of Vampiress within Japan…
However, they still craved their mother’s attention from time to time, but Clementine had grown obsessed with Harumi, so they felt a bit rejected at the end…
They continued to train all these years in hopes of becoming stronger than the other fellow Vampire Demigods and had achieved unprecedented levels of power after many types of techniques were mastered.
Now, they had the opportunity to show Clementine that they had not been slacking this entire time either, or that they were just as worthy as Harumi to still receive attention!
“Mochi, look, the granddaughter of Amaterasu is about to lose to us… Fufu, how amusing.”
“Kokoro, look, the granddaughter of Shuten Doji is about to lose to us… Fufu, how interesting…”
The two childish girls unleashed a tremendous dark and crimson-red aura, resembling a monstrous and chaotic cloud covering the skies of the coliseum…
Kaguya and Sadako stood together against this great challenge, these two Vampiress were not here to just play games…
“Don’t underestimate us, youngsters.” Said Kaguya.
“Heh, I am going to take away that cocky smile out of their faces.” Said Sadako.
