Chapter 153: chapter 153 - Non-Human
After Taufik set his foot inside the portal, in the next second, he arrived in an unknown room.
'... Hmm?'
Taufik looked around, and what appeared in front of him were a few unknown people who were looking at him with confusion; Taufik kept looking around until his eyes landed on one specific person who covered his face with a white veil.
But the veil he used was not the one that attracted Taufik's Attention, it was the energy that one person emitted; it's a kind of energy that Taufik didn't know about.
'It's similar to Mana, but also different... What is that?'
Look at this, an excited smile appears on his face, and then he points his finger at that one person.
"Ahh~ so it's you!!"
When Taufik said this, the people became even more confused.
"... What?"
Said that one specific person.
"It's you who Instal this Teleportation device, right"
Said Taufik, then wanted to get close to that person, but then stopped when he saw a few people move in front of that person
"Don't you dare to take any more steps than that, or else...
Said the person who raised his hands.
... Fireball~ or else I will burn you Alive, I have warned you"
Said that person, who have a fireball in his hands, then followed by the others who also cast their magic spell like the Lighting arrow, Wind Blade, and stone, yap~ only stone.
"..."
Seeing Taufik stop moving and not saying anything anymore, they thought that he was afraid. Without them realizing it, Taufik is currently releasing his mana.
"Now you afraid, quick tell us how can you use this Teleportation Device?! Where Young Master Asahi?! What you did to him?!!"
Said one of them, still didn't release the Mana which came from Taufik.
But when Taufik Mana reached That Person(Isshin) he Immediately realized that Something was wrong.
'Heh~ so he still can feel my Mana, although I have concealed it, but... it's already too late'
Said Taufik inside his mind, while looking at That one person (Isshin) who trying to get out from the area where Taufik Mana spread.
But like what Taufik said, it's already too late for him to be able to escape.
"HEY!! ANSWERS MY QUESTIONS!!!"
Said one of them, already prepared to launch their attack on Taufik.
But what happened next shocked all of them.
*Blink*
"!!!"
Their eyes never escape from Taufik, but that person in question suddenly disappears from their sight.

"Wha-where is he?"
Said one of them.
"I'm in your back, fool"
"!!!"
All of them once again felt shocked when they heard that and hurriedly turned their body around.
"Y-yo-"
There they see Taufik standing behind their Elders (Isshin), with a slightly unsheathed Katana on their elder neck.
"LET HIM GO NOW!!!"
"Hmm~... No, thank you"
Said Taufik with a smile. Hearing this, they were all very angry, except for one person, and that person was the head of the Tokugawa family, who had not said a word all this time; deep down in his heart, he hoped that Taufik just kill Isshin directly, but he didn't show it on his face.
"... Y-you...coward"
They can only swallow their anger raw because if they attacked Taufik now, their elder would also be hit by the attack.
"Coward?... You should be thankful that you are a member of the Tokugawa family, otherwise, your head would have been separated from your body"
Said Taufik, while releasing a bit of his killing intent toward them, which made all of them tramble, including The head of the Tokugawa Family.
"...why do you do this?" Ask Tokugawa Isshin.
"Hmm? Why do I do this?...
Ask Taufik, then bring his mouth close to Isshin's ear.
... I'm just curious about what being you are... you're not Human, aren't you?"
"!!!"
Hearing what Taufik said, Isshin was trembling a little, and Taufik could feel it, which brought a grin to his face.
"... Does it mean Yes?"
"You're-"
"Alright~ keep it for later... Let's change place first... Cause it seems you didn't want the others to know your little secret, am I right?"
Taufik whispered into Isshin's ear, but getting no replay besides the bombastic side eye that Tokugawa Isshin gave him, but Taufik didn't know it because of the veil he used.
Taufik then looks at the others who still haven't recovered from the killing Intent they received from Taufik.
"... I will borrow this PERSON for a while... Ahh~ About Asahi, don't worry, he was fine, but I don't know why they haven't come out from the portal... So just wait a little bit longer"
Said Taufik, emphasizing the word "Person" which refers to Tokugawa Isshin.
'False world - white room!'
After Taufik said That, he and Tokugawa Isshin were gone from the other's sight.
------------
Like the name "white room," The false world that Taufik made with a bit of his Mana is only a few cubic meters wide; the wall, the floor, and the ceiling are all white.
And inside this room is where Taufik brought Tokugawa Isshin.
"Wh-where are we?"
"It's inside my Domain"
Said Taufik who has released Tokugawa Isshin.
"... Domain!?"
Ask Tokugawa Isshin surprise at the word of Domain.
"Hmm? Looks like you know something about Domain... Now I'm Getting more curious about what being you are"
Said Taufik, then Raised his hands, and then two white chairs emerged from the floor. He then immediately sat on one of the two chairs and left the other chair for Tokugawa Isshin.
"Please have a seat~"
Although Taufik said that word with a smile and have put his Katana back inside his Inventory, Tokugawa Isshin seemed still unwilling to sit on that chair, afraid something would happen to him if he sat there.
"Ahaha~ Don't be like that, it's not like I would kill you or something... As I said before, I'm just curious about you, only that...so please have I sit while I still ask you nicely"
"..."
"Please~"
"... I warn you, young man, curiosity killed the cat, I hope you're not that poor cat"
Said Tokugawa Isshin before he sat on that chair.
"It's so? But what a shame. If I'm a cat, that means I have nine lives, isn't it? so sacrificing one of my life to satisfy my curiosity, seems okay for me"
Said Taufik with his smile still didn't escape from his face.
"... Hmnp!"
Tokugawa Asahi snorted and then looked to the side.
"Hmm?"
"What? Quick ask you questions I didn't have a whole day for you"
"... First of all... Are you a Man or a woman?... You better tell me the truth because I can differentiate between lies and truth; if I find that you tell a lie, believe me, it wouldn't be good for you, so answer me, are you a man or woman?"
"..."
-----------------
- back to the real world.
"Patriarch, That man take Elder Isshin with him, what should we do?"
Ask one of the members of the Tokugawa Family to Tokugawa Hajime, but Instead of answering, Tokugawa Hajime walks toward the Teleportation device; this Device is different from the one Taufik used before in Kagoshima Prefecture, which has a Torii-shaped
This Teleportation device was made by tree roots that gather together to form a circle and attach directly to the floor.
"... Patriarch?"
"You heard what that man said, he just "borrowed" Elder Isshin for a while, we don't know where he is going with Elder Isshin, so we can't do something about it, all we need to do is wait like what he said, hopefully, Asahi can tell us about that Man Identity when he was back"
Said Tokugawa Hajime. Tokugawa Isshin was the Reason their family could still exist until now. He wanted to help him, but when he remembered all the insults and ridicule he received from Tokugawa Isshin, deep down in his heart, he hoped that Tokugawa Isshin would never come back.
"... As you wish, Patriarch"
"..."
Then after waiting for several minutes more, Asahi Finally came out from the portal.
"Asa-"
Tokugawa Hajime wanted to call his son but then stopped when he saw that there was another person who following Him out of the portal, and all of them were a breathtaking beauty.
"... Hmm? Where sensei?"
Said Asahi, after he didn't see Taufik around when he was out from the portal.
"A-Asahi, who are they all?"
"Ohh~ Father, is there someone who comes out from the Teleportation device before me, a man who is as Handsome as me"
Asahi asked his Father, who got a weird gaze from Jenn and the others. From that gaze alone, Asahi felt much pressure on his back. It's like he will get stabbed by someone sooner or later.
"A handsome man?"
Said Tokugawa Hajime, and then Taufik's face appeared in his mind.
'... I didn't see it clearly because of the situation but that Man was indeed Handsome'
"If the Handsome man you talking about is the one who I met before, then he was not here"
"Then where is he?"
"He suddenly disappeared with Elder Isshin, he said that he had something he wanted to ask Elder Isshin for"
"... What?"
---------------
"... what?! You're a woman?"
Said Taufik, surprised at what he had just heard.
"What? You have a problem with that?"
Ask Tokugawa Isshin, who was annoyed at the reaction Taufik made when he heard about her gender.
"... But you're voice... Is it magic?"
"It's something Similar to Magic"
"I see... Then the last questions... What are you?" Ask Taufik.
But Tokugawa didn't answer him Immediately but Instead removed the veil from her face.
"..."
"..."
"... What the... "
....
