Some one knock the door of room.

And he start to leave but ed stop him before he leaves.
" what do you mean by the airport.? "
Ed was asking Jake because he was confused about why they are going through the air way all through they have those magical gates.
Jake answered him quietly " it because of Japan. "
Ed stare him it was obvious he doesn't get what he was saying .
Jake chukle and said " well I can see the confusion on your face so I well tell you that later on. " and he leaves.
Ed think " why he sometime remember me about cap? He literally bhave like him some time. "
He thinks that he can't do anything about it, that the impression leaved on his mind by the cap.
When ever he heard the sentence " I well tell you later " the cap image strike him in mind.
It is really annoying.
Then they leave the room. And check out but then the receptionist from the yesterday, who also help them to get permission to investigate comed.
" thank you for what did you did yesterday. " she siad.
Jake just smile and take out an beautiful red rose flower from his closed plam and give it to the hotel receptionist .
" you can take it, since you help us and also I am not that old that you should give me respect I am an young man. "
And then the recipient take the flower while blushing and go away pouted.
Jake laugh. Ed give him werid look.
" oh.. Sorry hehe.. " Jake smile.
Ed sigh " and who was telling us to get re.."
But no one look at him and leave him behind.
" hey! Stop.. Why you guys ignore me... "
But they still ignores him.
They come out of hotel they wait for a while and an luxurious car came in.
It was the same back car form before.
Ed said " it is really weird for me to use a luxurious car as an taxi "
Then driver come in and take there luggage and put it in trunk .the car engine started and they start there hassle full journey in the traffic of Mumbai.
The traffic was unimaginable, ed was just thinking about that there flight just don't get miss.
They take whole hour to reach to the airport , driver take out the luggage out quickly and then they run toward the departure.
" we gonna miss the flight"
Jake said" no until it flies , cuz I am all ready told authority about our arrival ."
They run to departure and they see that the door are closing.
Ed " shit.. "
But Jake run fast and stop .
" we are also passenger "
The flight attendant look them with sacred face.
And then they check out there document and let them in and the door closed and flight take off.
Jake booked special class ticket for them.
Ed sigh by the way how Jake book everything because at the end he's not going to pay a single bill.
But on other side Jihgen was doesn't feeling well .
Ed ask " erm.. What -"
But Jihgen doesn't listen to him and run toward bathroom.
He dose it not one but srevervl time ed muttered "so, in simple word he has flight sickness " he can't do anything else besides regretting while traveling with him.
Ed ignore Jihgen and go to the Jake.
" so tell me what I ask you before. "
Jake look at him he actually forgot about it but he didn't show it and pretend to be know it.
" oh.. Yeah I was going to tell you about it, see Japan is currently in under the isolation law also known as" kakuri law". That why it didn't have any gate that connects to the any medilman quaters or office and building. "
Ed think about it and said " but why such rule exist in first place? "
Jake smile
Ed look at him expecting the answer.
But Jake ignore the question and sleep.
Then ed also go to sleep.
In the morning they arrived at the Tokyo airport.
They was leaving through the metro .
" so now we are in Japan. " ed siad. Jihgen worshipper " don't talk loudly Japanese don't like it. "
Ed making face " Ahe.. Okay.. "
They arrived at the one of the thousand station in Tokyo.
lan quietly confused " why we are here? "
Jake just smile and point out toward out door of station.
There was two people waiting for them they were wearing well tailored suit . By looking at them they were easily 18 plus.
Behind them was a car the wasn't that lavish but a normal one.
Ed was quite happy about it.
They all go to them.
The two boys bow down and welcome them.
One of them introduce himself as inari and other one Tunki.
They were really speaking formally so Jake said them to talk more informally since he doesn't like or that kind of person.
They started to car and leave the railway sation.
lan ask them were are they going
Tunki said " shinagawa.since it is one of the less populated area ." he talks that while eating the a packet of chip .
Inari look at him and said with a heavy vioce " can you please stop your childish behaviour? "
But he still doesn't listen to him and inari just sigh because he was the one who was driving the car.
" ed you don't tell me about that ' kakuri law ' by hearing this inari and Tunki ear get straight.
Jake chukle " they will tell you about it. "
And start reading a newspaper.
Inari said " I well explan it to you. "
He takes a pause and start saying
" the history of 'kakuri law " is relley old and big so I well try my best to explain it to you.
It all started when an sailor named as William adms. Who was an sailor who reached Japan in 1600 .
When he arrived most of his crew members were dead . And shougen army captured them, but all through he got released and come to known as 'miura Anjin ' or ' western samurai ' and thank to his business related guninus mind he impressed the shougen and become an valuable asset to him.
Because of his mind shougen become filthy rich. "
Ed nod and said " that is okay, I think it is a common history of Japan all through I don't know it. But how dose it is connected to the law? "
Inari said " I was just going to tell you about it. In 1937 to 1945 there was an war know as " imperial wars " .
It was an war between empire at the time for land. But it doesn't profit Anyone. Infact to the people who was behind the war.
Because after war monarchy fall Down. And becomeed a part of history. "
lan " still it doesn't have any mention of the law? That ed is taking about "
Inari replied " yes, because see the law was made after the war.
That why I told you about it.
But the real reason behind it was actually the last of the earth demon spices "
Ed and lan and Jihgen was shocked by hearing about it.
Inari continue to say " if you remember I talked about the Willam Adam. But he was not alone in Japan he had some crewmate with him.
And one of those was an medilman.
When he camed to Japan he see an werid thing he never seen before, even as medilman.
He wrote an dire that was found by some people by some miracle he quotes,
" I am not sure that what he saw was true or false but definitely say that there is something weird here. "
But because of the shougen restrictions the dire never come to the medilman. "
But after the war Japan surrendered and removed the monrhrcy. And then were the dire was founded and law was made. "
Ed asked " but What was that last of earth demon? what are those things? "
Inari doesn't replied and shift the gear of the car and said with a weird voice .
" the last of the earth demon are also known as " oni " "
And ed , lan was shocked.
They was not expecting that 'oni ' thing .
But Jake suddenly said
" for your knowledge the two people in front seat who came here to receive us are oni themselves. '
Ed think " -what!! On!?"
