A spacious room .
It was a square shape the size of a baseball field, its ceiling the height of a regular building .
It was covered by strange, pure-white materials .
It closely resembled the space that Taiyou had been trapped in, but it was even more spacious than that one .
That was where Taiyou and Ruri were facing each other .
Taiyou was wearing casual clothes with a jacket coordinating with his brides, while Ruri looked the same as she did when they first met, with a black-laced dress and holding her beloved sword, ‘Heaven Reversal’ .
“We’re gonna do this for real, then?”
Taiyou asked, and then he heard a voice from the ceiling .
“Yes, please fight with all your strength if you can . ”
He heard Sakura’s voice .
He heard her loud and clear despite the fact that there were no speakers, which was the same as last time . Taiyou felt nostalgic and a little weird at the same time .
“The byproduct of Blood Soul . This material absorbs the blood and soul from a heated clash and changes its properties . That’s what we found through our research . ”
“And for some reason it shifts into something that Hera can touch . ”
“Exactly . ”
“But wouldn’t Hera end up going berserk again?”
“This time we’re using it in order to allow her to wear other clothing, right? It isn’t a weapon in this case, so if she does rampage then all we need do is stop her . ”
“Yes, exactly . ”
This time Youran’s voice came through the ceiling .
“C’mon, we can easily stop her if she goes out of control . Just zap her clothes off . ”
“T-That sounds like a criminal offense…”
Aoba’s voice came through too .
There were also other people Taiyou heard breathing on the other side .
Apparently all his brides were there .
“Welp, I guess that’s true . ”
Taiyou nodded after some thinking .
Logic dictated that this was the best course of action, even if some risk accompanied it .
“It’s fine…even if that somehow happens…”
Ruri opened her mouth in front of him .
“I’ll strip her…and hand her to you, Darling . ”
“No, no, you don’t need to hand her to me . ”
He waved his hands in a karate chop motion .
“Now, let’s begin . ”
The minute he said that, everyone in the vicinity felt bloodlust .
“Freestyle . ‘Heaven Reversal’, come forth . ”
A cool voice accompanied by an ancient name .
The next moment, Ruri disappeared with a poof .
Taiyou dealt with this calmly . He was accustomed to her moving at high speeds from the outset in order to strike his blind spots .
“I see you!”
Taiyou spun around with a backhand .
His fists ripped through the air with a roar, revealing Ruri .
Right before he hit her, she had taken a step back, dodging with the skin of her teeth .
“Sun Flare . ”
Cold air assailed the tip of his nose, enveloping his face .
A thrust of pure light .
Taiyou reacted instinctively with his fist .
Bam!
They sliced through the air with a force enough to distort the environment .
After their head-on clash, would you believe it—-Ruri took a step back .
Pushed back for once, Ruri had a look of surprise on her face .
Taiyou clenched his fists, taking in a breath and narrowing his eyes .
He sharpened his senses, and the already-bare room further lost its scenery .
He swooped down on Ruri, pulling back his fist like a bow on a bow string and releasing it .
Ruri dodged . Anticipating her dodge, Taiyou had already moved ahead of her and unleashed a deadly attack .
The sound of air being ripped apart echoed again, and this time Ruri leaped backward .
“Serious…mode?”
“Yeah, pretty much . ”
Taiyou answered .
Ruri nodded, narrowing her eyes as well .
“Then…I will also, begin . ”
Ruri spoke in a familiar tone, but this wasn’t the time to be indulging in reminiscence .
She was headed this way—-his instincts, not his head, were ringing alarm bells .
The next moment, something hot stabbed him through the flank .
“Uwawa, Taiyou-chan’s hurt!”
The girls continued keeping watch in the monitor room . Hera was the first to cry out .
“Uwaa, no mercy at all, Master . Is Taiyou gonna be okay after something like that?”
“It will be fine . It has been instilled in her after all . ”
“Ruri is a girl who knows when to differentiate between objective and method . ”
The two Juunishimas said in placid tones .
But upon closer inspection, they were tightly clenching their fists, gazing at the screen .
Their hands seemed to be sweating, showing that even they were nervous and a bit worked up .
Compared to that, Kohaku, being the eldest one there, was completely and utterly calm .
“But looking closer, it seems that Ruri has been using discretion as of late, ja . ”
“I agree . ”
“It’s felt that way the whole time . ”
“It was like…a super soft atmosphere or something . ”
The three sisters agreed with Kohaku . They were also nervous, but not as much as the Juunishima sisters .
“Aye . From what I see, Ruri is completely in the lead . I wonder when Dannsama will finally be able to beat her, eh . ”
“””I’m sure it won’t be much longer . ”””
The three sisters said in unison . Kohaku merely replied, “Aye” .
“Alright—-one two, one two . ”
“Akiha? What are you trying to do?”
Akiha had suddenly begun to stretch, and Aoba inquired in a surprised voice .
“Mm? I was just thinking I should get out there . ”
“Out there? You mean where they are?”
“Yup . ”
“Whaaaaat?”
Aoba said in a shocked voice, and everyone else in the vicinity turned to look at her .
“Wait, are you for real, Akiha?”
“Sure, why not . ”
Akia nodded, looking at Sakura .
“It’d be best if there were more fighters, right?”
“…In theory, yes . ”
Sakura nodded heavily .
“Then I’m going out there for a bit . ”
Akiha smiled, leaving the monitor room .
“Wait Akiha—-”
Aoba tried to chase after her . Kohaku stopped her by grabbing the cuff of her clothing .
“Kohaku-san…”
“If ye be her friend, ye’d best let her fight till she’s satisfied . Unless ye want to take her place . ”
“Uu…”
“That’s right, let those who want to go in . Plus the more the merrier in Master’s case . ”
“He might get angry, ja . Might say something like ‘But I wanted to do it!’”
“I’m fairly new here, but isn’t that when you’re supposed to persuade him otherwise?”
“Sure is . ”
Kohaku purred at Sakura’s question .
“Now then . Is there any weapon that Blood Soul originated from? Like that dagger, for instance, ja . ”
“Kohaku-san?”
“Aren’t ye adjusting it based on the Eternal Little? I should be able to handle it better than Hera, ja . ”
“…Alright, I will bring it over here . ”
Sakura nodded, immediately leaving the room .
“Well I’m glad SOME people have things they can do . ”
“And ye will too when the time comes . ”
“Right . ”
Youran nodded . There was no trace of frustration on her face .
After some time, Kohaku took the dagger from Sakura when she returned, chasing after Akiha to enter the battle room .
