+ | “Is there anyone else that can use flames that are full of youki like this? It seems that the battle style of the Kannagi must have changed quite a bit ever since I left then.” |
− | Kazuma |
+ | Kazuma questions her back with a serious look. Perhaps he really wanted to know the answer to this question? |
+ | “We don’t have anyone like that!” |
||
− | “We don't have anyone like that!” Ayano answered rudely. Of course, Kazuma didn't take offense and merely put an indifferent expression, shrugging as he walked off. |
||
+ | Ayano answers rudely. Of course, Kazuma will not feel bad about this. He puts on an expression as though it does not matter to him, and shrugs his shoulders as he walks off. |

− | “H-hold it!” |

||
+ | “What is the matter? Is there someone among those people there that you hope will die? Then I don’t mind waiting a bit longer, after all there is only three minutes left.” |
||
− | Ayano took a while to truly understand the meaning behind that sentence. Ren, comprehending his brother, fearfully asked, “Is Misao really that strong? That even ten people working together are still unable to defeat her?" |
||
+ | |||
+ | Ayano took quite a bit of time to truly understand what that sentence meant. Ren who interpreted what the line means asks with a fearful look on his face: |
||
+ | |||
+ | “Is Misao really that strong? That even ten people working together are still unable to defeat her.” |
||
“Six.” |
“Six.” |

“Calm down, Onee-san.” |
“Calm down, Onee-san.” |
||
− | Ren |
+ | Ren tries to pacify Ayano who is on the brink of explosion as he looks at his brother with blaming eyes. |
“Onii-san, why can’t you just get along with onee-san?” |

+ | Kazuma spits this line out easily, and following that walks off without waiting to see their reactions. Ayano hurriedly chases after him from behind------ And finally overtook Kazuma. |
− | The park |
+ | The park is not that far away. Even though she ran, she was only faster by around ten seconds. |
+ | But, that is more than enough. |
||
− | (Find her, and settle it in one blow!) |
||
+ | (Find her, and settle it in one shot!) |
||
− | She was confident. No matter how strong Misao may have become, compared to herself of the main family, their levels of power were entirely different. Just one strike from Enraiha should be able to eliminate Misao. |
||
+ | She is very confident. No matter how strong Misao may have become, compared to herself who is of the main family, their levels of power are entirely different. Just one strike from Enraiha should be able to eliminate Misao? |

||
+ | She reached the park. She jumped over the fence at the entrance, and ran into the square. |
||
− | There was no need to search for her, as Misao stood at the centre of the square. Despite being surrounded by jutsushi of the branch families, there was not a single trace of anxiety on her face; on the contrary, it was the jutsushi that seemed to be trembling in fear. |

+ | There is no need to search for her, Misao stands at the centre of the square. Despite being surrounded by Jutsushis of the branch families, there is not a single trace of anxiety on her face, instead it is the Jutsushis that seem to be trembling in fear. |
||
− | The time to worry over the face of the Oogami was long past. Planning to finish Misao off in one go, Ayano pushed the Jutsushis surrounding Misao aside------ and was shocked herself. |
||
+ | |||
+ | There is no time to care for the face of the Ogami anymore. In order to finish Misao off at one go, Ayano pushs the Jutsushis surrounding Misao away------ And then became stunned like them. |

+ | Misao did not even notice Ayano’s appearance, and is playing with a rubber ball happily. |
+ | |||
+ | She wears an innocent smile, and uses an extremely gentle motion to bounce the rubber ball that rebounds back to her waist level. The group stares at this simple repeating action without getting bored by it. |
||
− | + | However, the rubber ball looks very old and tattered, the surface has became yellowish like the earth. The fading grayish black threads spread around in great volumes, just like a bamboo curtain falling off continuously. Those continuously wavering black thread, are just like hair------ |
|
(Just like------?) |
(Just like------?) |

− | The instant she |
+ | The instant she realizes what that rubber ball is, Goosebumps rose all over Ayano’s body. Her hand reaches out to cover her mouth, trying hard to stop herself from vomiting. |
− | The messy black threads------ those |
+ | The messy black threads------ those are hair of a man just over fifty years of age. |
− | The red threads spread over the soil-yellow surface------ |
+ | The red threads that spread over the soil-yellow surface------ Those are blood stains that are stuck to the victim’s skin. |
− | + | That object that Misao is playing like a rubber ball, is the head of a dead person. The face of the man who is planning to slay his own daughter for the survival of the family, is now bouncing up and down between the ground surface and the white and tender hand. |
|
+ | Dong……Dong…… |
||
− | Dum...dum...dum... |
||
− | The sound of the |
+ | The sound of the rebounding of the “rubber ball” is abnormally heavy. Every time it hits against the solid ground, more wounds are gradually added to Masayuki’s painful and distorted expression. |
− | + | Speaking in terms of common sense, it is impossible for the head of a human to bounce like a rubber ball. This may have been caused by psychic powers or something similar to move the head…… |
|
“…… Misao……” |
“…… Misao……” |

− | Ayano |
+ | Ayano is unable to say a word. Facing off against a girl who is happily playing with her father’s head, what can she say? |
+ | Before the eyes of Ayano and gang who are holding their breaths and staring at her, Misao bounces the “rubber ball” attentively. |
||
− | Before the eyes of Ayano and company who were staring with their breaths held, Misao bounced the “rubber ball” diligently. If there was any purpose behind this action, that could still have been seen in a more optimistic manner. Like venting her anger on the body, scaring the enemy with her power, or a part of a jutsu ritual------ anything else would have been fine. But this is different. Anyone could tell that this action was meaningless. |

||
− | She treated it like a child's game. Like a kid using a crumpled piece of paper as a ball, Misao simply treated her father's head as a simple ball. |
||
+ | |||
+ | But this is different. |
||
+ | |||
+ | Anyone can tell that, this action is meaningless. |
||
+ | |||
+ | This is just merely a “game”. Like a kid taking a piece of paper crushed in a bundle as a ball, she is just merely playing with her father’s head as a rubber ball. |

“…………” |

+ | Misao suddenly hits the “rubber ball” with force. Jumping higher than before, the “rubber ball” bounces to her chest area, and Misao stretches her hands out to catch it. |
“What have you been doing since just now?” |
“What have you been doing since just now?” |

Like an avalanche, everyone’s eyes gathered at the same direction. |

+ | Even though he possesses power that surpasses anyone, but his presence is calmer and firmer than anyone. |

− | Just that cheeky |
+ | Just that cheeky appearance is enough to dispel the abnormal demonic presence given off by Misao. |
− | + | Natural as the air, and possessing absolute power to accept everything. To possess a “right” that is not violated by anyone, the man called Yagami Kazuma stands there. |
