Chapter 8

In Sickness and in Health

“So, that yōkai gang wasn’t able to kill the Pnév̱ma girl, after all. Oh, well. It’s not like I actually expected them to be capable of succeeding. Low-life dregs such as them lack the intelligence needed to deal with a competent opponent, and that Kotohime woman most definitely falls under that category.”

Cassy stood before Seth, barely masking her disgust of the man. She’d just finished giving an oral briefing of what happened during the assassination attempt. Now she was standing there like an idiot while her “tutor” deliberated.

Seth sat on her couch, lounging back with his feet propped up on her table like he owned the place. He was still wearing the body of Ms. Vis.

He was also shamelessly naked. The pervert.

“The biggest problem will be that four-tails. Kotohime is a well-known warrior among kitsune, a swordswoman of incredible skill. She also has four tails. Even I am not confident in my chances of victory if I have to fight against her,” Seth mused, absently fondling Ms. Vis’s right breast and causing Cassy to wrinkle her nose and clench her fists. She knew that he was doing this to upset her, and he knew that it was working, judging by the hideous smirk plastered on his face.

I hate this man…

“Is she really that powerful, nya?” asked Cassy.

“It’s not that she’s powerful so much as she is highly skilled. Rumor has it that Kotohime is so skilled with a blade that she is capable of fighting on par with yōkai on the same level as the Four Saints.”

“Nya. Surely those are just rumors, though.”

“They are, but even rumors have a grain of truth to them. While I doubt she is capable of fighting on even grounds with someone like Davin Monstrang, Kuroneko, or even Orin, she may be a match for Sarah Phenex, provided she can get past Sarah’s high-speed regeneration. However, with her river blood, she holds a distinct advantage over that woman.”

Cassy remained silent. She didn’t know if she believed Seth, but she wouldn’t deny that Kotohime was a powerful foe. She’d seen the woman cut down the gang leader with nothing more than a sword. The four-tails had split the yōkai straight down the middle like it was nothing, and she hadn’t used a single kitsune art, just swordsmanship.

Still, to speak about Mistress Sarah like that, does this man have no shame?

“Of a more interesting note is that boy you’re so fond of. Defeating a gorilla yōkai is no small feat. Lesser yōkai can’t even scar them. Even a nekomata with your talents would have trouble with a creature like that if you relied on nothing but your claws. The fact that he defeated one shows that he cannot be underestimated.”

Seth observed Cassy with keen eyes, studying the way her hands clenched and her arms trembled. The lips belonging to Ms. Vis quirked in a way that the passionate math teacher would have never done. Then again, Ms. Vis would have never been lounging naked on someone’s couch, either.
