It was quite nerve-wracking to play big jump rope .
No expense was forgiven . You had to calculate the timing and jump without hesitation .
This was similar, except for the fact that it was a hundred times more difficult . That was what Akiha felt .
(Windstorm…)
Akiha swallowed her saliva . What she saw could not be described as anything other than that .
Taiyou and Ruri .
The sight of them fighting was dazzling, surpassing Akiha’s limits .
Several metres away, Akiha was finally able to take in Taiyou’s movements .
Still, that did not dissuade her .
When to jump in…how to jump in…
Akiha was contemplating those things, but there was no such decision as not doing it or running away .
“Heheh . ”
A smile peeked through her face .
Even though danger and fear were sweeping throughout her body…
She was happy for some reason; unbelievably so .
“Aki-han . ”
Akiha heard a voice, and Hera flew next to her .
Her generally tiny and adorable face was unusually shrouded for once .
“What?”

“Are you okay?”
“Probably not . I’m going up against my master after all . ”
“Then you are to stop this . Taiyou-chan said he’d be fine with this, so you should indeed leave it to him . ”
“I mean, that’s fine too, but…”
“If you’re doing this for me—-”
“Yeah, that’s part of it, but…”
Akiha interrupted Hera mid-sentence .
“But y’know, that’s not all to it . I dunno, it just feels fun . ”
“It’s…fun?”
“Mhm . ”
Akiha nodded briskly .
“I can’t exactly put it into words, but yeah, that’s probably it . It’s like this is my first joint operation . ”
“Your first joint operation?”
“Yeah, so I’m like, super stoked right now . ”
“Is that so . ”
“Yep . ”
Akiha nodded . She wasn’t kidding .
Having the same objective as Taiyou and working toward it . Akiha felt delight in that .
By jokingly referring to this as her first “joint operation”, it only made her even more delighted .
That was what spurred her on .

“With that being said, it’s time for me to go out for a bit . ”
Akiha left Hera behind, taking a step forward .
To the battlefield where windstorms blew .
“I see…this certainly not be a good item, ja . ”
Kohaku muttered as she stared at what Sakura had entrusted her with .
“Is that so?”
“Aye . I can tell just by gripping it, ja . It be pulsating like a heart in the palm of me hand . Did ye not feel anything when ye held it?”
“No, not in the slightest . ”
“Which means it reacts…or resonates, with an Eternal Little, ja . ”
“That must be it . ”
“Hm . ”
Gripping the dagger, Kohaku ensured that her intuition was correct .
At first glance, it was just a regular dagger; something that any old ne’er-do-well would drop .
But Kohaku could sense something different .
This was dangerous, something was off about this .
“Perhaps you should just leave it be . ”
“Hm?”
“Objectively speaking, what you have there is the most dangerous of all . Without him saying so, and probably without Aoyama Akiha saying anything, Ruri will hold back against both of them . Even Hera can participate whenever she feels like it . But that weapon is…”
“I’ll do something about it, ja . ”
“Something as in…”
“Besides . ”

Kohaku’s mouth twisted into a grin .
“Something happens, something happens, ja . And that time I be able to eternally keep Dannsama in me memories . ”
“Wha—-”
“It be a joke, ja . Do not take it so seriously . ”
Kohaku laughed with a hearty “kukuku” .
There might indeed be some worth in messing with Sakura, unexpectedly enough .
And just like that, gripping the dagger tightly in her hand, she headed into the room where the battle was being held .
She opened the door, entering .
Taiyou, Ruri, and Akiha were fighting .
Taiyou and Ruri were clashing straight at each other, while Akiha was moving around them, searching for a chance—an entry point .
“Kohaku-tan—-”
“Wait here . ”
Kohaku said only that, suppressing Hera .
Taking a deep breath, she flipped the dagger into reverse grip in her dominant hand .
Then she brought out her other hand, cutting the thumb with the blade .
Blood came out, and the blade sucked it in .
The pulse became stronger, and something warm ran throughout her body .
“I see . ”
Feeling a firm power, Kohaku began to dig the blade into her index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and lastly, her pinky .
The number of raw wounds increased, and every time the dagger sucked the blood, Kohaku felt power well within her .

Blood Soul, the manmade magic sword that sucked blood and soul .
Kohaku charged into battle with it .
Hera didn’t understand . Why did everyone just do that?
This was a first for her, and she was quite bewildered .
Taiyou and Ruri were one thing, since they had been fighting daily .
So she had no issue with them fighting like this .
But now Akiha had entered the fray .
Akiha, who was a fresh apprentice under Ruri, had jumped into this without considering the danger .
And now Kohaku has joined .
She was also holding the weapon that had once caused trouble, hurting herself and jumping in .
Hera was baffled by this .
Why did they do that too?
Why did they do that for her?
She didn’t know, so she was perplexed .
But now those feelings began to turn into something else .
Probably because they were there .
In the midst of the wind in this atrocity of a battle .
Hera was affected by this, inspired by this .
Her bewilderment gave way to something warm that became a small torch, filling her chest .
Which birthed a new, different type of bewilderment .
Why was she so happy at a time like this?
