"So, I won’t allow anyone to destroy these!”
"If anyone dares to ruin them
"I’ll defeat them!”
As if her words were an oath, Hui Lijing beca more earnest than ever before.
A strange aura began to surge from her.
Deep within Hui Lijing’s heart, ‘Yingcao’ felt her resolve and imdiately voiced its intent.
‘Lijing!’
‘We’ll face this together!’
‘I will give it my all!’
‘Yingcao’ declared.
"Alright!”
Hui Lijing replied.
Then, the female detective turned and charged toward the shattered void ahead.
Even though the monster erging from the void was terrifying!
The aid needed to confront the monster was imnse!
Still, she ant every word she said!
She would protect her city.
She would defend her friends.
For this!
She was willing to risk everything!
Watching Hui Lijing’s retreating back, Hu Qiandai trembled all over.
It wasn’t fear.
It was exhilaration.
It was the thrill of encountering a kindred spirit.
Where loyalty drives—
Countless deaths would not deter!
The resonance in Hu Qiandai’s heart instantly triggered a transformation throughout her body.
A blue and white armored skirt replaced her original clothing.
The banner inscribed with the character fluttered proudly in the wind.
‘Hizuru Ichimonji’ emitted a vibrating sound.
"Lijing, wait for !”
Regaining her ability to move freely, Hu Qiandai imdiately gave chase.
"Oh dear, letting two ladies charge into battle like this—how very ungentlemanly of !”
Tsuchimikado Motoharu remarked, as a faint mist began to envelop his body.
When the mist dissipated, a pair of fox ears appeared atop his head, and three fluffy tails unfurled behind him.
A fox!
Seeing the light whiskers on Tsuchimikado Motoharu’s face, everyone thought the sa thing.
"This appearance isn’t very flattering.”
"But at tis like this, such concerns hardly matter.”
As Tsuchimikado Motoharu spoke, his silhouette flickered and vanished.
Along with him disappeared Hanakaiin Haru.
This young Onmyoji unleashed that special energy behind him once again, but this ti, it surged inward rather than outward.
"Second gear!”
With those softly spoken words, Hanakaiin Haru disappeared into the shadows.
Clearly the last to set out, yet he was the fastest to arrive.
Caw! Caw!
Frost spread outward, forming a layer of armor over Hanakaiin Itsuki.
A sword forged entirely of ice manifested alongside him.
This notorious young Onmyoji pursued without a word.
He didn’t like this place.
But the milk tea shops he loved were here.
His cherished friends were also here.
To swing the sword of despair, armored by the mories of the departed!
He would not allow more things he disliked to happen.
If anyone dared to stop him—
Strike!
The crowd dispersed, leaving behind only the bewildered Hanakaiin Rō and Xiaolu Youfeng.
What was happening?
Wasn’t everyone suppressed?
Why was everyone suddenly moving freely again?
Hanakaiin Rō pondered as he turned his gaze to Xiaolu Youfeng.
The divination specialist Xiaolu Youfeng flashed an awkward but polite smile.
"Unlike them, I’m just an ordinary Onmyoji.”
Xiaolu Youfeng said matter-of-factly.
Hanakaiin Rō accepted this explanation without protest.
Then, Xiaolu Youfeng simply closed his eyes, two chess pieces appearing in his palm without anyone noticing.
One black, one white.
As soon as the chess pieces appeared, they flew toward the shattered void.
"Do not greed for victory, yet do not falter.”
"Tōru, it’s up to you now.”
Xiaolu Youfeng murmured softly.
He continued to smile awkwardly yet courteously as he faced Hanakaiin Rs wide-eyed stare.
"This isn’t .”
"It’s Tōru.”
Despite the explanation, Hanakaiin Rō remained entirely unconvinced.
Far away, Hanakaiin Tōru, who had been sitting cross-legged with eyes shut tight, opened his eyes the mont the chess pieces flew out.
He raised his right hand high, pressing his middle finger upon his index finger as if pinching an invisible chess piece.
Then, he struck downward—
Snap!
"Tengen. Heaven and earth united!”
