Chapter 417 (1/2)

<hr><hr>

On a certain street in Tengu city, a figure streaked across a now empty pedestrian pathway. If a normal human is here, they would only see afterimages of a person and then boom he's gone from the observer's sight.

He ran so hard he almost created sonic booms wherever he went. This figure created wind blades in his path just by running, the ground got slightly destroyed when the wind blades fell on the road.

Wu Yan ran around but a sound interrupted him, it came from his Bluetooth ea.r.s.et.

”Hey, s.h.i.+do! Can you hear me?”

”Kotori?”

Wu Yan pressed a palm against the communication set. He's worried that his speed will cause the ea.r.s.et to fall off.

Kotori in her commander mode can't call Wu Yan Onii-chan in a sweet voice like her imouto mode can. It's certainly not something she can do with just a few days to get to know a person.

Kotori shook off the thought, She knows she can fool everyone but herself. After all, her relations.h.i.+p with Wu Yan isn't just that of strangers.

”Your present location?”

”Heading towards the center of s.p.a.cequake…”

Kotori frowned.

”What about s.h.i.+ori-nee?”

”I told her to head to the shelter first!”

”I see…”

Kotori became silent. Wu Yan could more or less guess why she's like this.

s.h.i.+ori had the peculiar ability to seal a spirit's power through a kiss, the power would then be sealed in his body. This is a trait the original s.h.i.+do had in the original work.

Kotori probably knew that s.h.i.+ori had this ability as well. s.h.i.+ori's ability to seal spirit powers away is crucial to Ratatoskr's objective to save spirits.

Kotori cooperated with s.h.i.+do in order to raise the familiarity he had with the spirits to finally seal their spirit power away and let them live normal lives as humans.

It's completely different with his case.

In Kotori's heart, she didn't want to see her beloved sister being dragged into this dangerous maelstrom where she could lose her life at any time. If it's s.h.i.+do, she would probably push him out there to a.s.sociate with the spirits. However, s.h.i.+do had been gender-reversed into s.h.i.+ori.

A man should be manly. As a loving sister, Kotori subconsciously wanted to keep her safe.

s.h.i.+ori's power is crucial to Ratatoskr's goal so she has to borrow her power in one way or the other.

However, it's different now.

With Wu Yan here, she can definitely do it.

”Hey, you still got more of those bracelets that can seal one's power away?”

Wu Yan is surprised.

”Bracelets that seal one's power? Oh, you're talking about sealing bracelets right?”

”I don't care about the name, do you have more of them?”

”I do…”

Wu Yan can always buy some from System. It's Kotori's words that Wu Yan finds weird. In the end, he answered honestly.
