Chapter 293: New mission
'Who are you Kenichi Shirahama?'

"Yesterday was fun," said Kenichi as he stood next to the girls Miu Saeko and Renka in gym class.
"Everything went well didn't it!?" asked Miu as she leaned towards Kenichi.
"Yeah it did" replied Kenichi
"But I am still a bit miffed that you called Niijima instead of us," said Renka
"Niijima is a tech expert and I needed his help to make those guys run in a circle for a little longer if I wanted to keep them away from Congresswoman Irina," said Kenichi
"It's fine I know Niijima can be helpful if he isn't enacting one of his nasty plans," said Saeko
The group of four turned their heads to look towards the YOMI members blending in the school environment. Even Boris was there mopping the floor as one of the teachers 'ordered' him to do. Though in reality, the teacher had merely asked Boris to help 'clean the gym' meaning just make sure that the equipment was put away. Boris took it as literal order, and so was mopping the floor.
"Guys team meeting after school at the base, looks like our efforts are finally being realized," said Niijima as he came out from behind them and almost got thrown by Miu again but Kenichi caught Miu before she could do that and saved Niijima.
"Stop coming like that Niijima I won't be saving you again," said Kenichi
"Yeah sorry about that," Niijima said as he scratched the back of his head.
"And what do you mean by that?" asked Kenichi
"You will know once you will come to the base!" Niijima replied as he walked away from them.

Shinpaku Alliance Base
When they arrived after School Kenichi was expecting the building to go under reconstruction but he didn't think that it would have another floor added to it. The girls didn't even know how to react.
"Is that.... another floor being added?" asked Renka weekly.
"Uh-huh," nodded Miu in reply.
"Come in, come in," waived Niijima wearing a cape to signify his leadership, "Thanks to the big bucks of our company and a little bit of Hibiki's contribution we have a lot of room for improvement, not only having this building reconstructed but even expanded. I even managed to buy this building from Kisara's father"
The girls could only look around while feeling numb. The first floor consisted of not only a complete gym set with far more equipment than earlier but a small kitchen as well as a storage room. The second room had various computer and technological gears of their company than before. The third floor was more of a meeting room as well as a resting room, as various beds and private rooms were spread out. The top floor was still being constructed but Kenichi could already guess what this floor would become. There was even an elevator being added to the building.
"Don't worry your garden was left untouched, there are gardening equipment on the first-floor storage room for your use" Niijima said
"I don't know what to say Niijima. Can't say that you have outdone e yourself as I know you could do more than this if given room to do" said Kenichi
Let's go the others are waiting for us in one of the meeting rooms on the 3rd floor.
_____________________________________
3rd-floor meeting room, Kenichi saw the whole gang waiting for them.
Takeda, Ukita, Kaname, Kisara, Hibiki, Tsuji, Yuma, and even Natsu was there.
"Natsu! If you are here then where are the girls?" asked Kenichi
"Kaede said that she and Honoka were going with Apachai somewhere.
"Looks like another trip of there's," said Kenichi
"So how are things with all of you?" asked Saeko
"It's good! I have started to teach boujutsu at our family dojo after my classes in the college" said Kaname.
"My combat sumo is getting accepted by more fat people," said Yuma
"Haa... I am going to the underground arena to fight every night like men" Tsuji said
"You just came from the mountains a few days ago! If you don't take rest regularly then your body would break Tsuji" said Kenichi
"Men don't rest," said Tsuji.
"It's like talking to a broken record," said Takeda.
"Took the words right out of my mouth," said Ukita.
"Ok now that we had caught up with everyone! Tell us what did you mean Niijima when you said that Shinpaku Alliance is getting recognised as well because I know they were recognised when you were invited to the DFOD." Saeko asked.
"Yes, but it was the elders, not the disciples. What I am saying is that the Shinpaku Alliance is being treated as part of Ryozanpaku" Niijima said.
'Oh so that's what he was talking about' Kenichi said remembering the arc where Satomi invited the captains of the Shinpaku Alliance.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Renka
"It's true they even sent their invitation to us," said Kaname to which others nodded their heads.
Though each one of them had firmly rejected the offer, declaring themselves as Katsujinken. Natsu was the exception as his master, Ma Sougestu was living with him.
"But did you guys notice him!?" asked Takeda darkly.
"Yea, a pretty frightening person," said Kisara
"It gave me the chills when I saw him," nodded Ukita
"To be honest when I faced him, my body started to shake a little" admitted Kaname, "If it wasn't my grandfather I would have made a fool of myself in front of them"
"Falalala... indeed I can hear the rhythm of death from that person." sang Hibiki, "And he told each of us something"
"I AM THE NEW LEADER OF YOMI, Satomi Kajima. WE HONESTLY INVITE YOU TO JOIN OUR SIDE. BUT IF YOU DON'T T EXCEPT THIS OFFER YOU WILL DIE"
"New leader!? Even though Kano Sho is there they have changed their leader? Looks like the Yami doesn't trust Sho to be bloodthirsty enough for this" Kenichi said.
"No idea" shrugged Niijima as he turned his head to look towards Natsu.
"What are you looking at!?" spat Natsu with narrowed eyes.
"I know YOMI heads to your house, mainly Kano Sho. Though sometimes Kushinada and Tirawit as well" Niijima said.
"Kano only comes there because my master is there as for Tirawit and Kushinada that's a whole different story but they don't talk about martial arts in front of my little sister"
