Iroha Hasegawa.
The green-haired girl was wearing the same outfit he'd seen earlier in the day. She wore a tight one-piece dress and a red trench coat. It was a strange contrast of beauty as she stood in front of the abandoned amusement park's entrance.
"You really came, coming all the way to a place like this. Honestly..."
"This is the location you gave me."
"Yes, yes, but most people wouldn't want to come to a place like this. Besides, my tone was so bad that I told you that I was going to beat you up! But you still came, and early at that. Are you a masochist? Pervert. "
Seiji was rendered speechless.
He felt that it was impossible to reason with this girl.
"If you hadn't come, I could have reported this to the Grand Mistress, and then Grand Mistress wouldn't have cared about you anymore, and I could have killed you." Iroha's eyes glinted coldly.
However, she immediately smiled again.
"... What? I was just joking ~ I wouldn't have killed you. It would have been very troublesome, and I didn't want to end up in a bad situation because of someone like you."
Seiji merely looked at her calmly.
She grinned as she looked at him coldly.
The two of them stared at each other silently for a while.
"Come in... You can't even pass through this entrance, can you?" Iroha turned around and jumped into the amusement park.
Seiji took a deep breath and silently cast the [Body-strengthening Technique]. Then, he jumped up, stepped on the entrance, and flipped over.
After passing through the entrance, there was a plaza surrounded by dilapidated, abandoned shops.
Iroha passed through the plaza and walked deeper into the amusement park.
Seiji followed behind her.
They arrived near the merry-go-round.
Or rather, near the remains of what used to be the merry-go-round.
There were many deep cracks on the ground, and several of them had pierced through the merry-go-round. It was as if a giant invisible blade had sliced through this abandoned facility. Parts of the horses' bodies were scattered everywhere, and a severed head was lying on the ground, silently staring at the sky. The entire scene was rather frightening.
Apart from these, Seiji could also see some other abnormal signs if he looked closely. However, it was nighttime, and there were weeds everywhere, so it was difficult to see more clearly.
As expected, this was a battlefield. Seiji felt that his conjecture had been confirmed.
This abandoned place definitely had Yin-Yang Master duels here before, although he didn't know how many times.
If ordinary people barged in, would they be silenced?
Probably not … But if they actively reported it to the media or posted it on the internet, then …
However, there were rumors that it was haunted. It was a scary and dangerous abandoned amusement park, so most people wouldn't come here. Those who were truly seeking death were few, if any.
"What spells did you learn?"
The green-haired girl stopped in her tracks and asked.
"I only learned the Body-strengthening Art."
"Hey, you don't even know Spirit Vision? You can't even see it. What a piece of trash, "Iroha said condescendingly.
Seiji was silent.
He really couldn't see it. Without [Astral Vision], not only was he unable to see anything abnormal, but his vision was also very poor in the dark. He could only rely on the moonlight to see his surroundings.
"Just this alone can deduct half of your points. Below 60 points, you fail. Don't even think about returning to the Haruta family. Just give up and go back to sleep. "The girl waved her hand in disgust.
Seiji looked at her.
"I didn't come here with the intention of returning to my family."
"Hmm?"
"I wanted to talk to you … more accurately speaking, I wanted to talk to Yui Haruta through you."
'It doesn't matter what you think of me. The important thing is the person behind you.' That was what Seiji meant.
Iroha furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at him.
"I told you before that you should call her Haruta -sama, didn't I?"
A dangerous aura emanated from the green-haired girl.
"I can call her whatever I want. As long as she's willing, I can even call her Gody-sama." Seiji's expression was calm. "But that's not the case. She didn't ask me to call her that at all. You're just talking to yourself."
"Heh heh …" Iroha's mouth arced upwards as a cold glint flashed in her eyes. "Are you looking down on me?"
"I wouldn't dare. But you … you're just Yui Haruta's subordinate. " Seiji spoke lightly. "And I'm a subordinate that was sent here to do some unpleasant things. She probably doesn't value me that much …"
Before he even finished speaking.
The green-haired girl suddenly disappeared from where she was standing.
Seiji was already prepared for this, and he instantly left as well.
* Bang! *
Iroha missed and chased after Seiji with an icy smile on her face.
Seiji did his best to parry and dodge.
Two figures kept appearing and disappearing in the darkness. The sound of their attacks echoed throughout the silent night.
A moment later.
Seiji's tall figure was sent flying by a series of attacks. He crashed into the ground without stopping, and it looked like he was about to crash into the remains of the merry-go-round.
But he forced himself to adjust his posture and barely managed to stand still. He slid some distance on the ground to dissipate the remaining force.
He tasted something sweet in his mouth as he spat out some blood.
'I'm fine … I'm not seriously injured.' Seiji wiped the corner of his mouth.
"The remaining half of your points are barely worth ten," the green-haired girl stated coldly.
"That's all you've got. Seigo, Harano … hurry up and scram.
You don't have the right to return to the Haruta family. Just continue living like a weed with this name. "
Iroha turned around and left after saying this.
Seiji watched her leave.
"Didn't you want to confirm my thoughts?"
"There's no need for that. At any rate, you probably just want to say something disgusting like 'I know I was wrong,' 'I've changed,' 'please let me go home,' 'I'll work harder in the future.' "Iroha chuckled.
"I don't want such words to dirty my ears, nor will I allow such words to dirty Grand Mistress's ears."
Seiji furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
"You're not even willing to say a single word for me?"
"I'm not willing ~ I don't even want to say a single word." Iroha chuckled coldly as she walked further and further away.
"But I'm a serious person. If you show enough strength, I'll listen to you even if I hate you. But you don't have that strength."
She reached out her hand and made a mocking thumbs-down gesture.
"The game's over. You're finished, trash."
Seiji clenched his fists.
"Yui Haruta made a mistake in sending you out."
The green-haired girl who had just stopped her hand suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"You speak rudely, contradict yourself, and act recklessly … If I were your superior, I definitely wouldn't want to see such a subordinate."
"Shut up …"
Iroha stopped in her tracks.
"You hate me, so just which side of me do you hate? What's the difference between your willful, ugly self and the worst part of me in the past? "
This time, it was Seiji who laughed coldly.
"I said, shut up! Do you really want to die!? "Iroha's voice was filled with an icy chill.
"The only difference is that you're a beautiful woman now, while I was a fatty in the past. It's so nice that willful beauties can always be forgiven ~ In the end, you only have a good appearance. If you didn't, Haruta Yui would probably treat you the same way she treated me, and … "
* Boom!! *
This was the sound of an explosion caused by Iroha's sudden footsteps.
The angry girl was now filled with true killing intent. She instantly turned around and rushed in front of Seiji, unleashing a powerful attack!
'I was just waiting for you to do this.'
[Bullet Time] activated!
[Light from the Brink] activated!
[Flashing Light] activated!!
Three minutes passed.
The first ability of Hoshi Amami's Hoshi Character Summon Card, [Light from the Brink], would last for three minutes, and Seiji would have an unlimited amount of stamina and mental energy. He could continuously activate [Bullet Time] and use his fastest attack, [Flashing Light], without any restrictions!
Iroha Hasegawa, Yui Haruta's Spirit-branded Retainer.
'Can you block this attack?'
In the blink of an eye.
The green-haired girl, who was about to send Iroha flying with a single punch, saw the light.
Before her brain could react, her body's instinct for danger forced her to react and cast a barrier.
The light landed on the barrier and was blocked.
But the next instant, even more light appeared and destroyed the barrier!
Iroha's punch was only half complete.
Her punch wasn't slow at all.
But in front of the endless light, her speed was so slow that it was as if she was trapped in darkness.
Iroha was unable to stop her punch.
She didn't even have time to think.
That was because everything happened in the blink of an eye.
The light broke through her defenses, and then one beam landed directly on her body.
It was a punch.
* Boom! *
