Chapter 101 - Chapter 14: Happy Qixi Festival, bring a torch! FFF

"Hmm!" Kurumi, who was drinking black tea opposite Kuesumi, suddenly froze, a nostalgic expression on her face.

"What's wrong?" Kuesumi glanced at her and asked.

"An old friend has followed me. How nostalgic!"

Kurumi replied to Kuesumi with a slight, crumbling smile on her face. Her words instantly made Kuesumi understand. It seemed Suguu Mana had arrived in Tengu City, and things were about to get livelier here.

"Are you planning to go in person tomorrow?" Kuesumi asked Kurumi calmly, taking a sip of black tea.

"Hai~~ I have to go say hello to an old friend, and besides… that child's taste should be excellent!" Kurumi's expression softened as she said to Kuesumi.

"Are you going to make a move?"

"No, tomorrow is Saturday, and Shiori-san invited me on a date. Do you want to come, my dear?" Kurumi looked at Kuesumi expectantly. Compared to that little girl who was manipulated like a puppet, she was more willing to understand this 'mysterious and powerful' fellow Spirit.

"Anyway, there's nothing urgent, so going tomorrow wouldn't hurt."

Kuesumi thought for a moment. Going to have some fun would be good. Maybe she could meet Origami-dashi and ask about the situation.

"That's wonderful! I'll go prepare my clothes for tomorrow."

Watching Kurumi walk away happily, Kuesumi shook her head helplessly. She's like a child. However, a power within her body has recently been activated. It seems the Kabbalah Tree has done a bit too much, but the result should be good, right!

Kuesumi used the activated spiritual power, and with a flash of her hand, a flintlock pistol that Kurumi often used appeared in Kuesumi's hand. Kuesumi examined it carefully. It seemed to be the real thing, but she didn't know if it could summon an 'Angel'.

A red light flashed in her hand, and the gun transformed back into its original spiritual power and disappeared. Because Kuesumi controlled it well, Kurumi in the room didn't notice that her power had appeared on someone else. What kind of expression would she have if she saw her weapon appear on someone else? Would she collapse? Or be surprised? It's truly something to look forward to.

The next day,

"Are you sure you want me to wear this?" Kuesumi looked at the Gothic dress, identical in style to Kurumi's, and internally thought, 'Couple's outfit?' Or sister's outfit? This kind of behavior, very close to showing affection, made Kuesumi wonder if Kurumi was going to take revenge on society.

"How about it! Isn't it cute! My dear will look absolutely wonderful in it. And please rest assured, all the sizes have been perfectly tailored by me."

Kurumi looked at Kuesumi with a flushed face. For her, what she wanted most now was for Kuesumi to wear this outfit and go on a date with her.

"Alright, alright! Have it your way!"

Kuesumi reluctantly took her clothes and walked into her room. After kicking Kurumi, who tried to follow her, out, she started changing.

"Wow~ Two super beauties! Especially the silver-haired one, her breasts are so big. Her figure is so good."

"They're so close. Could it be that kind of relationship? Splendid! Yuri is the best!"

"The blooming of forbidden flowers, so beautiful!"

"They're so well-matched."

"It really makes one not want to approach them!"

Why are these three complainers here? Aren't you supposed to expose the fact that Shiori is two-timing? What are you doing here?

However, Kuesumi looked at Kurumi, who was clinging to her arm like a small bird, with a headache. She could have avoided the crowd, but Kurumi insisted on holding Kuesumi's arm and weaving through it. Fortunately, Kuesumi's aura was strong enough that no one dared to approach them.

"Aren't you looking for Shiori now?"

Kuesumi asked Kurumi, who had already entered date mode, out of curiosity.

"It's fine, one of my clones will handle it there. Now we need to make up for our last unfinished date."

Kurumi happily turned her head and explained to Kuesumi, who reluctantly followed Kurumi, playing along with her.

While the two of them were having fun, Shiori was having a terrible time.

"Shiori, quickly go and comfort Tohka. Her emotions are a bit unstable."

"Shiori, Origami is about to meet up with you."

"Shiori, quickly go find Kurumi. She's been waiting for a bit too long."

Above Tengu City, in an invisible battleship, Shiori Itsuka's younger sister, Kotori, was ruthlessly commanding her sister, almost exhausting her to death.

"I… I feel like my body has been Hollowed out." Shiori said, lying on the ground, indicating that she was already a dead fish.

"Well~! You worked hard, here, have some water." Kotori, with a slight blush, handed Shiori a glass of plain water. After Shiori drank it in one gulp, she sighed deeply, wondering when these days would end.

"Now, everyone's emotions are very stable. Go to Kurumi's! Try to conquer her in one go." Kotori nodded to the teleportation personnel, teleporting Shiori near Kurumi (clone).

"Huh! Where is she?"

Shiori never expected that what followed would completely overturn her beliefs. She saw blood everywhere, and people shot full of holes by Kurumi.

"Oh~ my, what a pity! Shiori-san, I wanted to play with you a little longer. What a shame."

Kurumi looked at the terrified Shiori with pleasure, slowly walking towards her.

"Ah~~~~" A terrified scream rang out as the girl, with weak legs, squatted on the ground, watching the evil Spirit slowly approach her step by step.

"Run, Shiori!"

Her sister's voice in her earphone woke her up. Leaning on her trembling legs, she was about to run, but then…

"How can I let you run away?"

Black holes appeared on the ground, and several white hands stretched out from them, grabbing Shiori.

"The main course hasn't even started, how can you run away?"

Kurumi caressed Shiori's cheek, ignoring the trembling Shiori, and said in a broken voice into her ear.

"Are you alright?"

Just as Shiori closed her eyes, preparing to accept death, a strange voice suddenly appeared in her ear. Shiori opened her eyes and saw a girl in a Realizer unit standing in front of her. Tokisaki Kurumi had already been cut down and was lying on the ground.

"You… you just killed someone, do you know that?"

"I know!"

"Why?"

Suguu Mana turned to look at the person who asked her, a little surprised to see a face that was eight parts similar to her own. But she still didn't answer Shiori's question.

"Answer me, why?"

As if she had forgotten that Kurumi was about to eat her, she found it unacceptable that this girl, slightly older than her sister, could so disregard human life and kill so easily.

Perhaps because of the resemblance, Suguu Mana was not as cold and dismissive as she was with others. Instead, she slowly began to recount her past with Nightmare (Kurumi), which greatly shook Shiori's worldview. Having always been in contact with Spirits who didn't harm people, her encounter with Kurumi, who aimed to kill, made her understanding of Spirits waver. She was now very confused, not even knowing how to get home.

If it weren't for her good sister, Kotori, guiding Tohka to relax, she would probably still be immersed in the shadow brought by Kurumi. So Kotori is truly a 'capable' good sister! I want one too.
