Chapter 35 : Kanae's confusion

With the lonely moon decorating the background, a slim figure descended from the sky. But that slender girl instead of a tranquil atmosphere, at this moment was exuding a potent killing intent.

Instead of an elegant butterfly, she resembled a deadly predator at this moment.

"Flower Breathing : Sixth Form. Whirling Peach"

As the girl's low voice fell, Kanae turned sideways in mid-air and the Nichirin Blade in her hand rushed out fast, slashing horizontally and illusion of petals would fall wherever the slash passed.

In the next instant, with terrifying might a blade fell downward Haruto's head. This time without any pleasantry, Kanae launched her attack toward Haruto. For now there was no trace of the original amicable kanae in the strike, which was replaced by a raging Kanae.

Haruto barely managed to lift his blade to resist upward. Two blade clashed together, both containing terrifying strength behind it. Following directly after it was a terrifying air wave spreading to the surroundings. Where the air wave passed, trees were broken and rubble flew up.

With a groan, a boy's figure also flew upside down.

Landing on the ground, Kanae narrowed her pink and purple eyes as she looked at the demon that was knocked into the air by her sword. By kicking the ground under her feet, accompanied by a cloud of dust and rubble, the whole person followed the demon like a shadow.

"Flower breathing : Fifth Form. Peonies of Futility"

The Nichirin Blade in the girl's hand shot again, sending out nine combos from all directions. But in the end like guided arrows they stabbed at the same point in unison, like the petals of a peony which bloomed and then shrank a little. This time she won't hold back. She will definitely kill this demon here and now.

"What!?"

Kanae's eyes widened suddenly and she tried her best to take back the 'Flower Breathing : Fifth Form. Peonies of Futility'.

The pretty figure stopped with difficulty. The sharp blade was withdrawn hastily before falling to the figure in front. Kanae's eyes were full of disbelief, never expecting that her sister would stand in front of her.

Her sister is saving a demon? The same sister who will always complain about her sympathy. Is this really her sister? Kanae was full of confusion and disbelief, seeing her Shinobu standing against her that too to save a demon?

It's like the sun rising from the west.

"Cough cough..."

A violent cough sounded, accompanied by the figure of the demon standing up from the ground with difficulty. He patted the dust on his clothes, raised his golden eyes and looked at Kanae.

"It really hurts!"

He rubbed his chest and looked at Kanae angrily. This time she really didn't hold back at all. If he wasn't lucky enough, he might have been chopped down by her in the first strike.

Kanae ignored Haruto but grabbed her sister behind her. She will not make a mistake twice and put her sister in danger again. Kanae looked up and down at her sister with with her pink and purple eyes, after confirming that there was nothing wrong with her except the leg from previous confrontation, Kanae breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past few days, she has been worried about her sister to death. Now that she saw her sister is fine, she is completely relieved.

"Shinobu why are you protecting a demon of all things?"

Kanae really couldn't understand Shinobu's action at all but what she knows is that her younger sister hates demon the most.

"I owe him a favor."

Shinobu quickly replied to Kanae but obviously, Kanae didn't quite believe it, especially looking at her sister's worn out face, Kanae's eyes narrowed unconsciously.

She was quickly speculating about what happened to her sister during the days when she was captured by the demon that changed Shinobu's impression of this demon so much.

She then seemed to feel something and turned her head quickly.

A little girl walked towards the demon with small steps. The little girl who was with demon at the diner before. She walked up to the demon, and gently grabbed the demon's sleeve with her hand. Then helped him to stand up.

Although the girl still seems to have those emotionless eyes from before but still her action were filled with care like holding something precious. it made Kanae's emotions more confused than before.

Haruto patted Kanao's little head, which was seemingly made the girl look little happy and then he looked towards the Kocho sisters. "You sisters are seriously crazy heads, not only at the diner even here attacking me without any reason."

Kanae narrowed her eyes slightly, but did not replied to his comment.

"Shut up, that's what we are supposed to do."

Shinobu blushed with little shame and returned to her original quick tempered personality. She doesn't hesitate to speak what's on her mind.

Haruto shrugged, ignoring Shinobu's glare but instead spoke to Kanae, "I think we should sit down and have a peaceful talk with each other without the blades."
