Chapter 475 (1/2)

The orange laser is so radiant they had to close their eyes so as to not get blinded by its brilliance. The orange laser burned a clean hole through Tokisaki Kurumi's back.
The Kurumi clone that got hit didn't even react in time before another flame pillar from the sky descended and turned her into ashes like a divine judgment from the heavens.
”Onii-chan!”
Kotori cried out in joy. Tohka, Yos.h.i.+no, Mana, and Yatsuki are also happy to see the big hero finally make an appearance. Kurumi also looked at where the flame pillar and orange laser landed with glee.
A figure floated in the air as he slowly descended with the help of invisible platforms. It looked like he's creating miracles but this guy is not here to entertain.
His black clothes fluttered with the wind. He had a flimsy-looking blade that looked very dangerous. His calm expression belied the roaring rage within.
”s.h.i.+do (s.h.i.+do-san)!”
Tohka and Yos.h.i.+no called out to him without holding back. They had complete faith that once this person is here everything is settled.
”Squad leader.”
Mana and Yatsuki endured their injuries to confirm the arrival of their superior. His presence a.s.sured them that all will be well.
”Ah~ Ah~”
Kurumi moaned for some reason. She placed her hands to her cheeks while shrieking like a fangirl.
”s.h.i.+do, finally, you are here…”
Wu Yan scanned the area while ignoring Kurumi. He ascertained that Kotori, Tohka, Yos.h.i.+no, and s.h.i.+ori are all safe and sound. He released a sigh of relief.
He turned his attention towards Mana and Yatsuki.
He saw the wounds they sustained and he frowned. He heard about their dispatch but even after rus.h.i.+ng here using the teleportation device on Fraxinus he's still a bit too late. His precious subordinates are already hurt.
When the two of them were sent out, Wu Yan still didn't know about the kidnapping that took place at his house. The two of them faced Kurumi about the same time Wu Yan came out of his room, ill-prepared as they are.
Wu Yan managed to stop Kurumi before she can execute Yatsuki and Mana. Thank the heavens he got here in time.
Finally, Wu Yan turned his attention towards Kurumi. He stared down at her with malicious intent, this intention took the form of an invisible pressure that rained down upon that place.
”Kurumi…”
Wu Yan said with a low tone.
”You've done it now…”
Kurumi felt strange when Wu Yan talked to her like a stranger. Her body flinched on a subconscious level. She expected him to come here yelling like a berserker and attacking without saying anything but she didn't expect this little reaction from him. She felt very uncomfortable for an unknown reason.
Her joy is greater than the unknown fear lurking within her. She laughed in a joyful manner.
”Ara ara, s.h.i.+do-san, I had to invite these guests over since you kept rejecting me every time in such a cruel fas.h.i.+on.”
”I said this already but…”
Kurumi showed him an evil grin while tilting her head.
”You cannot say no…”
”Is that so?…”
Wu Yan glanced at Kurumi. He then glanced at Yatsuki's direction, he also glanced at Tohka and the girls' direction.
”Let them go…”
Kurumi frowned at his calm tone.
His nonchalant att.i.tude is really confusing for her. She donned a serious look.
”Since s.h.i.+do-san is already here. The prelude should be waived, I have no further use for them.”
Arms appeared from the ground beneath Mana and it transported her over to Tohka and the others before restraining her just like it did the other spirit girls.
