It didn’t take long for Violet to reach her destination.
Although she started at a meandering pace she quickly picked up the pace yet slowed down a few minutes later; not because she was tired but since she had already arrived at her destination. Well that was assuming Violet’s mommy was still in the forward camp like she had been over the last few months. In order to keep the mortals from running before they managed to cause the most damage the Oni had to hold back a lot of their power. This meant they unfortunately couldn’t let big figures like Wine & Ebony play as they’d like.
In truth maybe only a couple percent of the {Female Executives} the {Little Hannya Family} had were able to enter the battlefield.
Compared to the {Asura Elders} who often worked their way up through the business side of the yakuza the {Female Executives} were always female Oni loyal to their royals. As one can expect from the near immortal Oni they were only gaining more members not less - each one of these loyal Hannya elders had to have the power to eradicate any problem they faced. While they may not be able to deal with the {Four Immortal Cardinal Emperors} those old men were well aware of the power held by the oni hence why they showed no interest in this war.
Violet was curious about what those old ex-mortals were up to, however she didn’t care for them too much since she wasn’t a dem-evil or something. From her knowledge other than ruling their empires they mostly just focused on the same pursuits that she did while she was in the {Demon realm} - doting on their grand-grand-grand-grand-grand…grandchildren. With that in mind there would be no way those 4 old crones would get involved with committing suicide so the {Female Executives} may as well be untouchable.
That being the case under her mommy’s orders only the most patient (and herself) elders were sent to watch the kids gain some experience. On top of that Violet had them slowly reduce the number of elders as well as overall attack force gradually with every attack to ‘show the effect of war’ on the oni. In other words, for the most part, other than the typical ‘to send a message’ they were actually prolonging this war to give the young oni and inexperienced Shadow Guards as much experience as they could. It was a strong Oni belief that experiencing all of life is better than learning about it!
Still, because they wanted to get some action a lot of the {Female Executives} that were around ended up milling about the front lines ‘just in case’.
Though this led to the more business minded Alabaster to constantly complain about how lazy her fellows were. It wasn’t as if she was actively arguing with them but it was easy enough to hear her constant mumbling whenever she walked by or during her sleep… Well if she wasn’t having a wet dream about Ruby. They were very wet dreams.
When Violet with her two advisors plus shadow guard walked into the village they saw many different bamboo hats. All of them stood on various high places if they weren’t handling a task while looking out to the forest - sometimes with a drink or fresh meat in their hand - simply waiting for the mortals to finally counter attack. Honestly it was kind of depressing for the Violet with just how passive the mortals were.
“I feel bad for them… Waiting for an attack which will never happen.” <Slate>
“What attack and why wouldn’t it happen~?” <Ashue>
Slate just gave Ashue a long look as the pair each walked a step behind their little leader while the Greyhound-kin walked a few steps behind them with a curious gaze flickering between the two.
<Is this the legendary heated gaze between lovers? I know the two of them have a very loving relationship despite their bickering. It only makes sense that the two would have deeper thoughts about each other despite their words!>
Meanwhile in Slates head.
<How has someone so dumb managed to come so far in life without choking on their own tongue?>
“Idiot; they’re waiting for the orthodox alliance to fight. However, the fools still stubbornly believe they’ll win by letting us slowly weaken ourselves against their defense. Of course that is nothing but a load of bull plop but either way they won’t be attacking us till they’re absolutely sure we have no way to fight back. Oh how heroic of them, *tsk* cowards!” <Slate>
“Ah~!” <Ashue>
Blinking her large jade eyes Ashue softly nodded her head to show her understanding at what Slate was saying. Seeing that her dim witted companion had finally removed some development away from her chest to instead enhance her thinking capabilities. The usually strict Oni couldn’t help but smile softly at the tortoise receiving a smile back.
“So when are they attacking?” <Ashue>
“Of for fu-!” <Slate>
“Watch your language~.” <Ashue>
With that Slate kicked Ashue in the shin causing Slate to instead hurt her own toe while grinding her fangs together while angrily glaring at the confused fool. The most confused of all was of course Qin who was expecting a lovely moment between fellow advisors. Still she was smart enough to look to her leader instead of getting involved in that mess.
They arrived sharply at the table where Ebony was sitting; in the typical manner she had her legs crossed on the table and book over her face. It was possible to hear the soft breathing of the matriarch while the map depicting their battlefield was resting under a couple bottles of wine as well as her feet. What was also expected was the nude pink haired short-stack who was being used as a sleeping pillow though her huge snow bunnies had clear love bites while her thighs were covered in something too sticky to be water. A set of [Recording Jade] upon the table made it clear the two had made a show of their time together.
Seeing this Violet didn’t quite know what to do since she didn’t want to disrupt her mommy’s sleep or ruin this bonding moment of theirs when they haven’t yet tied the knot.
Before the girl could come up with an idea to solve this the familiar sight of a wine haired elder walked up to the table from behind Ebony. As should be expected the first thing she did was grab an unopened bottle of wine while she opened by placing the cork under her armpit and simply pulling. Taking a swig from a bottle - her leg abruptly shot out to break the leg of the chair under Ebony causing her and Jingye to come crashing down to the ground.
Although the two weren’t injured, the bulging veins on Ebony’s forehead made it seem like she was about to have an aneurysm as she rose from the floor to meet forehead to forehead with her nanny.
“Oi, you son of a-!” <Ebony>
“I’ve been a lady since I was born and raised; no son here you lazy wench!” <Wine>
“I will fucking end you, you ol’ hag!” <Ebony>
“I helped pull you out of one hole where the sun doesn't shine and I don’t mind shoving you back into another you brat! Watch your language before I fucking show you what this kaiju can do to a welp like you!!” <Wine>
“It’s Kijin you illiterate crone and you wouldn’t've broken through if it wasn’t for me!” <Ebony>
“And at least I didn’t break through due to almost having my favourite condom stolen by a useless mortal who couldn’t even see their worth~!” <Wine>
“Right, listen here you wrinkly, mouldy, old-” <Ebony>
Sparks were flying between the two as they constantly grinded their forehead together yet after a while of the two arguing a somewhat timid voice was raised to interrupt after she stood up herself.
“*Cough* I-I think Violet is waiting for you matriarch Ebony…” <Jingye Dai>
“*Snort* Ebony.” <Ebony>
“Wha-” <Jingye Dai>
“Call me Ebony with no title.” <Ebony>
“Bu-”
“Ebony.” <Ebony>
“How-” <Jingye Dai>
“Ebony.” <Ebony>
“I-” <Jingye Dai>
“Ebony.” <Jingye Dai>
