Ling Yang Tachibana was flying.
Under the bright moon in the night sky, she flew like a bird, looking down at the lights below her as the wind blew against her face …
She couldn't find her anywhere.
He searched everywhere, but still couldn't find her.
Where … was Mom?
He wanted to see her.
He wanted to hear her voice again.
He wanted to be hugged by her and feel her warmth.
Just where was she?
Ling Yang Tachibana kept flying, or rather, wandering.
Suddenly, her eyes flashed with a blood-red color.
She sensed that over there, there was …
An aura similar to Mom's.
…
"It's coming!"
Upon receiving Mai's message, Seiji immediately got up from his bed and rushed to the room next door.
"Where!?"
"Outside!"
Right after he said that, he saw something.
A black mist appeared outside the window.
He cast [Astral Vision].
In his [Astral Vision], he saw a strange winged figure in the black mist. It was as if there was a blood-red glow where its eyes should be.
"Hurry and leave!"
Seiji immediately picked up Mayuzumi, who had just gotten off the bed, and cast [Body-strengthening Spell] to run.
The black mist figure broke through the window and entered the room.
Mai made a hand seal and activated a spell that she had prepared beforehand.
Layers of spell formations appeared, and numerous chains shot out from them, wrapping around the black mist figure!
* Boom!! *
The black mist suddenly exploded.
Not only did it instantly shatter the chains and spell formations, it even sent Mayuzumi crashing into the wall!
"So strong …"
Mai frowned, took out a grenade, pulled out the ring, and threw it.
A dull explosion shook the entire room.
After Seiji carried Mayuzumi out of the hotel, he sprinted down the street, jumped over the wall, and entered Yuen Hwa Secondary.
He put Mayuzumi down in the school field.
"Um …" The manga author looked in the direction they came from.
Seiji also turned around and saw that the black mist figure was flying towards them!
"Tachibana Ling Yang, is that you!?"
There was no response.
The black mist figure continued approaching them.
When the monsters guarding the campus attacked, it released a large fog that covered a large area. In an instant, the monsters and the nearby traps were destroyed.
Seiji also felt the impact. He stood in position and used his body to protect Mayuzumi who was behind him.
Very strong, but …
Bang!
Right when the black fog figure approached the two of them, a rapid light bullet struck it, exploding with dazzling white light!
The black fog was blasted apart, and the figure within was sent flying more than ten meters away.
Before Seiji could see what the figure looked like, more black fog appeared.
Bang!!
The second ball of light landed on the black fog, causing it to explode once more and sending the figure flying.
Seiji looked in the direction where the bullet of light had come from and saw Mai holding a heavy sniper rifle.
The young girl and the great spear never missed their target.
The scene of the simulated gunfight reappeared at this moment.
But this time, the gun in Mai's hand wasn't a laser gun. Instead, it was the real thing, which was even larger and more powerful!
A cursed anti-spiritual sniper rifle, a custom-made exclusive model …
Raise the gun, aim, and fire!
* Bang!! *
The powerful recoil caused Mayuzumi's body to sway slightly. Her dark gray hair fluttered in the wind.
This scene was quite impactful.
Seiji inwardly sighed.
Mayuzumi, who was standing behind him, was also stunned by this scene.
When he looked at the black mist figure again … there was no more black mist.
After being hit by the third bullet, the figure no longer gave off thick mist. Mayuzumi was able to see its true form.
As expected, it was Ling Yang Tachibana!
A little girl with messy hair wearing a red one-piece dress had a wooden expression on her face, and her eyes were blood-red.
Behind her, there was an almost tangible shadow.
It was a beautiful woman with long light green hair. Her body was covered in green feathers, and she had a pair of bird-like wings.
Her eyes were closed and she had a smile on her face. Her arms were wrapped around Ling Yang's body.
It felt like she was her mother.
Upon closer inspection, this woman's appearance was similar to Ling Yang's.
Could this be … Hinako Haza!?
Seiji widened his eyes in surprise.
Was she possessing his daughter's body!? Or was it just an image?
Just as he was wondering about this, Ling Yang raised her hand and pointed at the sniper girl in the distance.
Mai decisively shot out her fourth bullet!
Numerous green feathers appeared out of nowhere and destroyed the bullet before continuing to fly towards Seiji!
Mai tossed her sniper rifle into the air, then took out a grenade and threw it. The grenade exploded and formed a shield-shaped barrier.
She then retrieved her sniper rifle and swiftly reloaded. While the barrier blocked the feathers, she fired again!
This time, it was a blue bullet with a sharper shape. It spiraled towards its target, piercing through numerous green feathers as it did so.
Reo was hit by this ball of light and was sent flying backwards. However, she stopped in midair.
She raised her hands, and the illusory wings on her back folded together. Countless feathers appeared and stabbed into each other, swiftly forming a gigantic green ball of light.
Mai shot out another piercing bullet, but it evaporated in midair as it approached the ball of light!
This was bad.
If she shot out that ball of light, they wouldn't be able to block it!
Seiji clenched his fists.
'It's all up to you now … Little Shi!'
A sword appeared from the darkness behind Reo's back. Silver runes flashed on the snow-white sword's blade.
Demon Blade Muramasa.
* Shing! *
A sharp blade suddenly slashed down!
It sliced through the green-haired woman's illusory figure and landed on the little girl's head.
Ling Yang's body trembled as she was struck, and her eyes became blank. The green-haired woman's illusory figure disappeared.
She collapsed forward.
Shika Kagura reached out and grabbed Ling Yang, instantly dragging her away from where she was standing.
The green ball of light that had lost control began vibrating … and exploded!
* Boom!!! *
After a blinding flash of green light, a large crater appeared where the ball exploded.
"Little Shi!"
"I'm fine, Brother."
Seiji heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that his adopted younger sister wasn't injured at all.
After learning from Mai's investigation, Seiji guessed that Ling Yang Tachibana … or rather, the mysterious power of the deceased Hinako Haza was the cause of this incident.
Tachibana Ling Yang inherited her mother's mysterious power, and this power was activated.
Shouhei Hirai was affected by it and transformed into that demonic form to attack Peach-sensei, who also possessed this power.
After Hirai collapsed, the next person to attack would be Ling Yang herself … In other words, Seiji guessed that Ling Yang Tachibana would attack Mayuzumi Amami in a similar state as Shouhei Hirai!
If this conjecture was true, how should he deal with it?
After Seiji discussed with everyone, the plan they came up with was the same as just now.
Stay in a hotel near the school and be on guard.
As soon as Ling Yang appeared, Mai would delay her for a moment, and Seiji would take this opportunity to teleport to the school grounds with Mayuzumi.
When Ling Yang caught up to them, Seiji would be in charge of protecting Mayuzumi while Mai fought against her to attract her attention.
Shika Kagura would sneak attack Mayuzumi from behind and defeat her without harming her life.
If Ling Yang Kagura was incredibly strong, then Wanhua Summer Night would have to take action.
Summer Night was still recuperating, and Seiji didn't want to trouble her to that extent.
Fortunately, the actual operation went smoothly, and he didn't need to trouble the Grand Mistress.
Mai began casting a spell on the unconscious Tachibana Ling Yang Kagura to seal her power.
"That child … will she be able to return to normal?"
