"What?!" The adults froze when they heard that. Keith nodded.
That was what the leader had told him. He asked him why he was attacking the city, and the furball explained that some of their kids had been taken away.
That caused the others to be livid!
"A Samui has a strong relation with their kind. Do something like that, and you have yourself a problem." He knew that long ago when Shiro went ballistic on him. There was no way they wouldn't. Taking a couple of kids wasn't something they would condone.
"That's impossible! How could-"
"He also said that one of the children had seen people with horns like the Long clan." That was the other information that made him tremble.
"No! They're lying! How could a member of our clan do something like that?!" Long Huizhong's eyes turned furious as he glared, "Don't you dare accuse my people."
"I'm only recounting everything he told me. Why are you acting so defensive?" Keith's eyes narrowed.
"Are you accusing me, Boy!" The pressure from Long Huizhong's body changed.
"Huizhong, you're overstepping your boundaries," Setsuna's eyes narrowed while Zhu Liqin's hands flinched upwards, prepared to attack. Long Huizhong scoffed as he walked away, leaving them there. Hearing all of this didn't sit well with him.
"Sorry about that," Setsuna apologized.
Keith shook his head, "It's fine. We should return now."
"Eh? Are they not going to attack?"
"Mmhmm, they won't attack for a week or two."
"How?"
"Oh, I told them that I would solve the problem for them in a week," Keith asked them to give him some time to figure it out, which the leader had agreed. That Samui aura had really helped him out with negotiating.
"So we got some leeway, but all bets are off afterward."
"…" Everyone was left with a heavy silence. They were able to get some free time.
But that was when the two guardians decided to return home. The group went to pick up Long Hao, where they saw the boy playing with the kids.
"What are they doing?"
"They're kicking the ball into the goal." Keith explained, "It's a simple game."
"…I see."
"So that's what you did," Carolyn grinned.
"Big brother!" Long Hao and the three quickly ran over to them. His cheeks were rosy from all that running. Long Lihua smiled, "Did you have fun?"
"Mm!"
"That's good. We're going to return home now." Like so, everyone had returned to the mansion. Setsuna decided to stay at the Long Mansion as they needed to discuss this. The group was now sitting in the living room.
Long Hao was brought out by the maids since they needed to be alone.
"How certain are you of this?" Setsuna questioned. She found his words to be slightly unbelievable and believable. Despite disagreeing with Long Huizhong's actions against Keith, she was of the same mindset as him. His words were slightly illogical.
"80% sure." Keith nodded, "Samui's are loyal creatures with their own kin. You mess with one of them, and you can expect everyone else to attack. The 20% is the horn thing." That was the only iffy thing he didn't know.
"…I see." A heavy sigh came out of their mouths.
"I'm more surprised that the mother hasn't charged in and attacked." Never mess with a mother with kids.
"She did." Zhu Liqin muttered.
"There was one Samui who attacked the city. We were able to defeat it, but the rest had charged in to drag her out."
"…I see." Made a lot of sense.
"…" No one said a thing before Keith sighed deeply.
"Do you have an idea to stop it?" Ayaka looked at him. There had to be a way for him to solve this if he had asked for a week off.
Keith shrugged his shoulders, "No idea how to do it. Going to do some information gathering first." Learning all of this, there were some holes that he needed to fill.
"Madam, I've brought ginger milk pudding."
"Mmmhmm."
"What's this?" Setsuna tilted her head at the milk substance.
"Try it, and you'll understand," That was when Setsuna tasted it, "How delicious! What's the recipe?" Tasting it, and she wanted to have it at her home!
"I can hand it to you later," Keith grinned.
"You have so many delicious things?" Setsuna's eyes narrowed. That was when Shinzo added, "They have also eaten other delicious things as well!"
"Eh?" There were many things that they ate before? She had tasted the breakfast he made, and it was pretty delicious.
...
At night, Sestuna and Zhu Liqin were sitting on the rooftop again, "To think the ancestor would bring a Samui tamer," Now that they had time to talk about it, the concept of a Samui tamer shocked her.
No one had ever heard of someone taming a Samui.
"Indeed," That was the perfect person for the job.
"But who would dare steal a baby?" That was something Setsuna couldn't believe.
"Did they do it because they didn't know?" That could be one reason?
"No, those babies are strong," Even if they were kids, they were still babies of strong monsters.
"Plus, they live quite deep into the forest as well," Setsuna muttered. The Samui didn't get close to the city or villages. They lived aloof from there. The only reason why they were near was because of this incident.
"..." The two went into a silence.
