Chapter 256: Takeshi Yuta

Takeshi Yuta acquired the pencil one and a half years ago. He was still a homebody and an artist during that time.

He had light social anxiety, so he never liked leaving the house. Besides, he was receiving his salary just from drawing at home, so there was nothing his father and Takeshi Rena could do to him.

One and a half years ago, he finally left the house, and the reason for this was an offline meetup. With a girl. He had an online romance with a girl from a chatroom. The meeting was fun and enjoyable. He stuttered a bit but still picked up the courage to go, because their relationship had been ongoing for two years. This was also the reason he could muster up the courage to do so.

The pencil made out of bamboo was gifted to him by that girl. That was the first time he received a gift from a girl. At that moment, he was immersed in the gentleness and kindness of that girl.

Within half a month after they parted ways, he lost contact with the girl. No matter how he tried to contact her, he couldn’t. The girl even left the chatroom and no longer replied to his emails.

At that time, he was worried that something had happened to the other, but as time passed, he understood.

She didn’t like him, so she chose to leave quietly. It was also a way to save his honor. He was depressed for a while during that time, but he also knew what was wrong with him. The moment he left his room, his head was always down. He didn’t know how to dress up nicely. He always stuttered when he talked. He didn’t really have any temperament or was he confident enough. How was he supposed to get the girl’s favor this way?

Finally, Takeshi Yuta gave up. Then, approximately a year ago, the pencil displayed a strange behaviour. When he woke up, he noticed that there was a small ball of light hovering above the pencil made out of bamboo which he carefully placed down.

At first, he was confused and slightly afraid. He tried calling for his dad or sister to come and take a look, but they were not around. When he got closer to the pencil, it flew into his head. Before he could panic, his brain received some information, and it was the user manual for this pencil made out of bamboo.

He found out that the pencil was called the Soul Summoning Pencil. It was able to turn anything virtually drawn into real things.

When he really used the Soul Summoning Pencil to draw out characters and they actually came to life, he was stunned but also got really excited. Countless ideas were running his mind. Finally, he used it to create numerous cute 2D girls to serve him, but he quickly grew bored of them. This was because they were absolutely soulless. Their eyes were dull and they would only follow orders blindly.

It made him complain that although it was called the Soul Summoning Pencil, it did not provide souls to the characters he had drawn.

Then, he thought of the girl of his dreams. Even though she was not as pretty as those he drew, she was human, and she was gentle too. Although she was disappointed in him after their meetup, she did not make him lose face, showing that she was a nice girl. Thus, he continued to use the Soul Summoning Pencil to draw up many scouts before ordering them to look for her. Japan might not be huge but looking for one person can prove to be difficult. So Takeshi Yuta knew that it was a challenge to look for that girl whom he was in an online relationship with.

Although Takeshi Yuta never knew where she lived, he knew that she stayed in Tokyo. Therefore, he only needed to search around Tokyo. He wanted to keep pursuing the girl and wanted her to know that he would become stronger in the future. He already got the Soul Summoning Pencil, so he was destined to be great. As a chosen one, he was definitely a main character.

He can definitely give the girl a bright future! Of course, the only thing he sas asking for was that the girl would not stop him from finding other girls.

Although Tokyo was huge, the scouts Takeshi Yuta drew was a bird which was merely a few centimeters huge, and it was taken from an anime. It was especially suitable to be used to search for someone.

In just a month, he sent nearly 3,000 scouts to find the girl before he finally succeeded. But rage filled him when he found out that she had gotten into a relationship with another man.

Merely two months had passed since their break up, and yet she had already found another boyfriend. This b*tch!

Takeshi Yuta was unusually mad. He had put in so much effort and time in order to look for the other, but she actually betrayed him. Thus, when night fell, he drew an assassin and ordered him to kill the girl’s boyfriend. This was his first time killing someone, but he was ever so calm. He knew at that moment that he was different from everyone else, that the few billion people on Earth were all normal people, save for he who was the only one who outshined that few billion people and was gifted with a fortuitous meeting.

He was different from everyone else. Takeshi Yuta didn’t kill the girl because she was the one who gave him the Soul Summoning Pencil. However, he sent an assassin, the ghost face samurai, to keep the girl safe. But if she ever got into a relationship with another male, the ghost face samurai would kill the male at night without anyone knowing.

If he couldn’t get the girl, then no one else could. Since the girl had already been with another man, he would never touch her again, seeing as how in his eyes she was already impure.

It was unclear when Takeshi Yuta’s mentality changed. Sometimes, he could feel it himself, but he didn’t think that there was anything bad about this. If he had such great power and yet still cowered like a normal person, then he was really too weak.

However, just to be safe, in case he was not the most special one, Takeshi Yuta started to create his own guards. And for that specific purpose, he chose a hundred ghosts.

The culture of demons and monsters ran deep in the hearts of the Japanese. Takeshi Yuta got in touch with the culture when he worked as an artist. The thought of handling a hundred ghosts excited him as well because even a god could not control a hundred ghosts. Furthermore, the fact that he was the one who created them all and was able to command them made him more like he was cloud nine.

Thus, Takeshi Yuta used almost a year’s time to draw out various sizes of demons with the Soul Summoning Pencil. Till now, there were almost 150 types of demons in his house, and he was still in the midst of creating more.

However, Takeshi Yuta never expected that his hundred ghosts would be so weak. They were all disappearing without even surviving one round with the man before him.

Although he was afraid, he was still holding the Soul Summoning Pencil. In addition to that, his mentality had changed, so he did not retreat. He ordered the Tengu and Tamamo no Mae to go forth. Then, he reached into the drawer of his table and took out a piece of draft paper before pouring in some reiki into the Soul Summoning Pencil.

It was at this moment that Takeshi Yuta understood that he had to pour in a lot of energy to summon stronger characters, or else he would definitely end up dead.

Kimura Kazuki was not about to let his opponent summon another character. This was not a movie, so there was no need for him to first wait for his opponent to complete his move before he could make his own, and then they would fight for another 300 rounds.

That was simply a waste of life. Thus, he controlled the Sun and Moon Sword to immediately slice Takeshi Yuta’s draft paper into half.

“Now tell me, when did your awaken your powers?”
