Chapter 69 Chapter 69 Magical Girls Group Debut
This time, the enemy was far more powerful than Mikazuki Toushirou had imagined - it was as if the opponent could predict her next move, always able to launch an attack before her, cutting off all her possibilities of counterattack, and forcing her into a dead end step by step.
Unconsciously tightening the dagger in his hand, Sanriku Toushirou told himself not to panic, as there was still a chance.
"If you lose your composure during a battle, that is true failure, that is the closest you get to death."
Recalling his brother's teachings, Sanriku Toushirou took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "There's still a chance. Stay calm." The person before him wasn't invincible. He wouldn't fall in a place like this.
“Good awareness.”
The man who was originally thought to be the enemy's surprise attack raised his head slightly, his face hidden under the hat was blurred, and he said words that sounded like praise, but the knife in his hand gave a completely different answer.
"So strong!"
Falling heavily to the ground, Sanriku Toushirou looked up in horror at the person in front of him who was approaching him step by step, and his hands that were supporting his body trembled unconsciously.
"Too strong, I can't defeat him... I'll die, I'll definitely die!"
His brain was filled with fear and his body began to tremble subconsciously. Under extreme fear, controlled by instinct, Mikazuki Toushirou completely lost the will to resist and sat on the ground blankly watching the cold blade approaching.
"Goodbye..." Although I don't know you, but for the sake of my Tsukumogami, please disappear and die here.
The katana seemed to hum and tremble slightly, attracting "his" attention and delaying the attack at that moment.
It was this breathing space that gave the reinforcements time to arrive.
"Mikazuki! Watch out, get out of the way!!!"
Sakura Kinomoto, who worked night shifts every day to collect cards, rode on her key wand and at the moment of swooping, she hugged Sankazuki Toushirou's waist and took her away.
"Are you okay?"
Looking down at her friend worriedly, Sakura Kinomoto noticed that she was still trembling with fear. She didn't care about anything else and gently patted her back, whispering comfortingly, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid."
Blinking slowly, Sanriku Toushirou finally regained consciousness and looked at his familiar companion. He suppressed the tears that were about to come to his lips and trembled as he said, "I'm fine..."
Before he finished speaking, Sanriku Toushirou's eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw the silver-white sword light appearing behind Kinomoto Sakura: "Sakura, behind you!!"
Kinomoto Sakura:? !!
The enemy's attack was already in front of her before the defensive Clow Cards could be used. In the end, Sakura Kinomoto could only hug her little friend in her arms and try to protect her.
"Sakura!"
Xiaoke, who came along for the rare occasion, spread his wings. After confirming the safety of both of them, he was now glad that he did not choose to lie paralyzed at home today.
"Hmm? An unexpected target..."
Unexpectedly, his attack was blocked. He gasped in surprise, but quickly tightened his grip on the knife handle again: "Never mind, you still..."
“Too weak!”
It cut through the air and severed the darkness. The sonic boom and airflow sounded along with the shrill whistling of the sword. The unstoppable blade easily cut through the defensive wings.
“Tick-tock—”
Dark red blood shattered on the ground.
Sakura Kinomoto and Mikazuki Fujishiro were firmly protected behind Xiao Ke. They ignored the wounds on their bodies and stared at each other closely, confronting the enemy who looked leisurely.
"She's my only target, get out of the way."
The low hum of the sword sounded again. "He" patted his sword lightly, muttered something in a low voice, raised his head again, and said to the man and beast blocking his way: "Otherwise, you will die with her."
"Sakura."
Taking a deep breath, Sanriku Toushirou, who was clearly aware of the difference in strength between the two sides, pulled Kinomoto Sakura's arm and said, "Leave here quickly." Otherwise, something really would happen.
"I don't want it!"
Kinomoto Sakura took a deep breath and refused decisively: "I won't abandon you..."
"Sakura, listen to me!"
After interrupting his friend again, Sangetsu Toushirou became serious, and for a moment, Kinomoto Sakura mistakenly thought she saw her brother - not in terms of appearance, but in terms of his mature aura.
“It’s not far from my home.”
Licking his dry lips, Sanriku Toushirou continued, "Go find my brother. He will definitely come to save me."
"Sakura, please."
Seeing the determination on Sanriku Toushirou's face, Kinomoto Sakura knew very well that he wanted her to escape, but she had no way to refuse.
Gripping the key in her hand, Sakura Kinomoto nodded: "I will!"
"The troublemakers are finally gone."
Watching Sakura Kinomoto leave, "his" first choice was not to kill Mikazuki Toushirou directly, but to gently stroke the blade in his hand and talk to it gently.
"How about it, are you satisfied now? I won't hurt anyone who has nothing to do with this matter, so don't be angry."
The katana stayed quietly in his hand.
Seeing this, “he” just sighed, then raised his sword and rushed towards Sanriku Toushirou without hesitation: “Okay, now let’s not waste time!”
"Goodbye, little sister."
Her eye sockets contracted to the extreme, and Sanriku Toushirou's mind went blank, but at this most dangerous moment, she remained strangely calm.
Her five senses became extremely sharp. She could hear the subtle sound of a blade breaking through the air, the rustling sound of the clothes of the person in front of her being blown by the wind as he charged, and the trembling sound of summer cicadas fluttering their wings not far away.
The scene in front of him seemed to slow down, like a movie playing frame by frame, so slow that Mikazuki Toushirou could clearly see his every movement and the trajectory of every swaying hair.
You can even see clearly where his next attack will land.
"ah……"
So this is what it feels like to have a complete understanding?
The fog in her mind slowly dissipated, and it was as if another self appeared, gently hugging her from behind, whispering softly in her ear: "Don't be afraid, follow my movements."
White spots of light gathered in his hand, and a short sword emerged from the light, which was suddenly grasped by Sanriku Toushirou.
"This short sword is called—Mikazuki Toushirou!"
"Accept the will of the world and take it as your responsibility to sever the filth."
"Erasing all the gray mud, and never failing to live up to the name of Jiguang."
Looking up, Sanriku Toushirou's originally clear blue eyes had turned into a deep blue close to the deep ocean.
Ling Ran's murderous intent gathered at his brows, and the blade of the dagger emitted a cold light.
"Your sins, your filth, shall be wiped away by me—!"
*
Yagen Toushirou always felt very panicked tonight, as if something bad and serious had happened.
Looking down at the mess of medicine bottles in his hand, Yagen Toushirou finally gave up the idea of continuing his research. He took off his non-prescription glasses on the bridge of his nose and pinched his eyebrows: So, where does this panic fear come from?
Apart from his brothers and the Shinsengumi, he basically doesn't care about anything else...
etc!
Suddenly opening his eyes, Yagen Toushirou looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, then flung open the door and yelled at Catfish Oo Toushirou, Baoding Toushirou and the other blades who were playing in the living room, "Where's my sister?"
It's already this late, why hasn't Mikazuki Toushirou returned yet?!
At this moment, their door was pushed open violently without any courtesy or politeness.
A little girl pushed the door open and walked in. Yagen Toushirou recognized her. She was their sister's new friend who had also appeared in the previous group training. Her name was Sakura Kinomoto.
And now, the other party was in a mess, with torn scratches on his clothes and blood on his exposed skin.
"...We're in trouble... Mikazuki-chan and I were attacked on our way back... She asked me to come find you..."
Yagen Toushirou felt like a string in his brain was about to break.
Subconsciously, he walked towards the secret room that they had tacitly agreed to close. When he opened the door, Yagen Toushirou saw that the short sword containing Mikazuki Toushirou's true form had disappeared.
"……younger sister……"
A slightly trembling murmur died on his lips, and the usually reliable short sword Tsukumogami finally revealed a slightly ferocious expression.
“Don’t let anything happen…”
Nothing must happen.
*
"You're weird."
Although he was in a mess, Sanriku Toushirou still had the upper hand. He walked up to the enemy who was knocked down by him and covered in blood and unable to move. He looked down at him condescendingly, and after sniffing the air, he slightly tilted his head and revealed a puzzled expression.
"You possess the spiritual power of a Shinsengumi, but it's also mixed with the scent of a dark, fallen Tsukumogami..."
There are even unstable lepton fluctuations that distort time and space.
"Shut up!"
I don’t know what stimulated him, but the “him” who was lying on the ground suddenly raised his head: “Don’t mention them!!!”
A sharp voice reached his ears, but what Sanriku Toushirou noticed first was the face that was exposed because the other person's hat slipped off due to the big movement.
It was a very strange face.
The left half of the face was still normal and could be called a cute girl's, but the right half was covered with hideous burn marks.
"It's a girl."
Somewhat surprised, Sanriku Toushirou finally confirmed: "You are a Shinsengumi."
“…I already told you!! Shut up!!!”
She was so irritated that she didn't care about her bleeding arm and climbed up abruptly, her eyes full of madness: "I'm not a Shinsengumi! I'm..."
The katana hummed softly, attracting Mikazuki Toushirou's attention.
"I am! Fusangshen!"
The sound of the sword rang out, and Sanriku Toushirou understood everything in an instant.
"I see……"
Is he a Shinsengumi who cannot accept reality and lives in this world as a dead Tsukumogami?
Really...
A heartbreaking and tragic existence.
