Chapter 400: For The Fairy (1/2)
The sound of swords clashing echoed through the room.
Sparks flew, and the loli baba closed in on Shirokiyami.
“Kukukukuku, looks like yer losing in raw power, Strongest.”
“I’m not really…”
Ruri disappeared without warning, appearing behind Kohaku.
“…bragging about my power.”
“Here I come!”
She tried to swipe at them from behind, but Akiha broke through them in high spirits.
Akiha had stepped in with unique movements, diving toward Ruri’s bosom, pressing down her wrist that was about to swing the katana.
“It’s a little difficult to get to you from here, isn’t it Master?”
“Then…you can just, back off.”
“As if!”
Ruri kicked off the ground, flying backwards, only to be intercepted by Taiyou as he suddenly appeared behind her, swinging both his hands down like a hammer.
Ruri’s small body was smacked and nailed to the wall.
Taiyou, Kohaku, Akiha.
The three of them were overpowering Ruri.
“How about now, Master? Maybe it’s a bit difficult for even one such as yourself to deal with all three of us, eh?”
“Not even…close.”
“She’s going on the offensive! Get ba—-”
Before Taiyou could get it all out, Ruri had split into multiple versions of herself, closing in on the three of them.
Taiyou narrowed his eyebrows, while Akiha expressed astonishment. Meanwhile…
“Kukuku…hahaha, ahahahahaha.”
Azumaya Kohaku roared with laughter.
Blood Soul…She unsheathed the dagger to combat Ruri.
At this moment, Ruri and the three of them combined were equals.
“Isn’t that dangerous?”
Youran asked as she observed the fight from the monitor.
Dangerous, in this case, was referring to Kohaku. It was as if the loli baba had become the embodiment of madness.
“Sort of feels like she’s been swallowed up by the sword and is now rampaging.”
“Mm…”
“Doesn’t look too good, does it…”
“A little worrisome.”
The three sisters spoke with slightly worried expressions.
“No, everything is fine, indeed.”
But Hera cut through their worries as she returned.
“Fine? Why would you think that?”
“Because Taiyou-chan and Ruri-chan haven’t tried to stop her yet. They’d do it if things got bad, just like what happened with me.”
“Because you’ve experienced it, huh.”
“Besides—-”
Hera added.
“I think Kohaku-tan’s just getting in character. It’s the perfect chance, like a werewolf on the night of a full moon.”
“…Yeah, I could actually see her acting that way.”
“I think she’s like one of those self-aware drunks.”
This time Aoba spoke.
“What do you mean by that?”
“That’s what Mama does. She can drink a truckload and keep going like nothing’s happened, yet sees the need to put on an act at the beginning saying ‘Hurhurhur I’m drunk’.”
“But doesn’t that just mean…”
“That she’s drunk?”
“And that’s just the kind of thing she says?”
“Nope, definitely not. Cause right after that she’ll say ‘What a drag’ or ‘I’m fed up’ or ‘No one’s gonna tell me to stop?’ and then she just starts drinking like normal.”
“So it’s a crime of conscience.”
“Yeah, sounds like her, indeed.”
