《Empire of Death Saga: How A Sword changed my Life》Chapter 5: The Power of The Gods

"You've got some explaining to do! Now help me get up, I can barely get up!" "Well, my name is Katashi, I am one of the users of the powers of the god of thunder and the swords, Takemikazuchi, one of the mightiest gods in my opinion". Taeko got more confused as he heard more about gods. "So it's a war between gods, and who's the Takemuchi guy again?" "First off, there is no war, just some unexpected things happened, as you heard, my brother and his armies are willing to summon the god of death, you know that, right?" "I guess I do, anyway, I was looking for something... Where's Yumi?"
Katashi pointed towards a door towards a room nearby. Taeko rushed towards it and opened the door. The room was empty, there was a chair and a bed and a painting. Yumi was sitting on the chair with a blank expression. "Yumi, you're ok!" he rushed to hug her but she jumped from her chair to back off in the corner of the room. "Yumi, it's me your...". He didn't get to finish his sentence as he got interrupted by Yumi. "You're the one who could've got both of us killed because you think you're a strong hero, you are just an idiot who can swing a sword."
Taeko started shedding tears, he felt like he didn't know Yumi all this time. He suddenly felt numb, he felt like someone stabbed him in the stomach again. "Ahhh..." he dropped to the ground in pain. Yumi jumped to help him "Are you ok, Taeko?" she got worried as he couldn't talk, because of his pain. Katashi walked in and started explaining everything: "The effects of the enchanted knife, they're only a few in the world, people who work for gods usually get them, they are used in emergencies, but I guess Kaori just wanted Taeko to have a painful death, a stab from the enchanted knife can be mortal, after 1 week his body will be eaten up by Yomi, the god of death, it's like he got sacrificed."

Yumi started shaking as she holds Taeko's hand. "Is there a way to stop this curse?" "I wouldn't call it a curse, it's more like a poisonous death. Why do you care, didn't you just talk down on him a few minutes ago?". Yumi in tears said: "Tell me already, he's my best friend at the end of the day.". He started laughing "It's like in fairy tales, the power of friendship wins, well, I might have a method to save him, destroy the enchanted knife"
Taeko smiled and started talking: "So what if I am in pain, like I am gonna give up like this, Katashi, is there a way I can borrow powers from the Take-something guy?" "Well, I guess you can, but he will judge you if he sees you weak like now, he will eliminate you.". Taeko forces himself to stand up "A weak man is someone who gives up, did you see me die? Like I'm ever going to give up!" Katashi smiled: "You are one strong guy, Yumi, don't ever give up on him, he is someone pretty loyal from what I see."
Taeko looked down to see that he was holding hands with Yumi. He blushed and asked, "Did I do this, hahaha?". Yumi smiled and said: "No, I did. You should train maybe after you feel better" "Hey, Yumi, I have a question." "Say it!" "If we destroy that stupid knife and survive, you won't ditch our friendship." "Don't even think you're going to die, and yes, I think I would not."
"So nice, you idiot, Taeko, you're going to die in a week, love is the last thing you should think about!". "Where's the place where I can get my superpowers anyways?" "It's an old temple, somewhere I only know from what I know, for your security, until I get the confirmation from the gods, you'll need to study, you will be transferred to my school until the whole story is over, probably" "You own a school, I would love to see it!" said Yumi. "Well then, since our time is limited, I'll go to my beloved temple, I will go discuss with the gods about you, Taeko, tomorrow you'll be transferred to my school!" "Alright, we barely know this house but there is no problem!" "See you, take care!"

Taeko and Yumi were the only ones left. Taeko asked: "Are you gonna let go of my hand it's getting embarrassing." Yumi blushed and jumped away "Sorry sorry sorry, Taeko, if I disturbed you. And most importantly, I was too rude to you!" "I guess you were right, I can be a dummy sometimes."
They went ahead and explored the house. "It is a mess, are you ready to clean, Yumi." So they started cleaning and about 2 hours later almost everything was done. Yumi screamed at Taeko "Don't come to the hallway It's very slippery!" "I'm ok, Yumi, I will be having powers soon, like I can't walk on the floor without falling, it's not a hard task at all!"
He walked towards the windows he needed to clean from the hallway. Right as he was near Yumi, he slipped. They were looking at each other. Taeko started thinking fast "Oh no we're gonna fall on each other, we're gonna get to kiss because the position that we are, she's going to think that I did it on purpose, she's gonna think I'm a pervert."
The house entrance was open, it was Katashi "WHY THE HELL ARE YOU TWO ON THE FLOOR?" he screamed at them. Taeko jumped and started feeling sick "Looks like my life is not a romance story. I just banged my head, damnit" she then smiled and said, "It's ok"
"Taeko, the gods judged you, you will be blessed with the powers in 6 days." Everyone froze. "I will have 1 day to defeat Kaori." "I'm afraid, yes" Taeko smiled and said: "Meh, I'll defeat that punk no matter what his power ar...". He felt it again, the effects of the enchanted knife. "It hurts, bad, why, I seem optimistic, but I want this pain to stop, faster." Taeko was thinking.
