[img]https://i.imgur.com/JuIsSeV.png[/img] Amara: Good Morning everyone! [img]https://i.imgur.com/CGlqCaR.png[/img] Reeta: Good Morning Lady Amara. The kids also greeted Amara, but with way less enthusiasm. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Kg2KhiF.png[/img] Amara: My, my...Did something happen? [img]https://i.imgur.com/R24LQ5u.png[/img] Reeta: Aparently, they had a nightmare. They were crying when I was passing by their room. I entered to see what's happened and comforted them for a while. [img]https://i.imgur.com/0ldIhTW.png[/img] Amara: It was probably something nasty, judging by their mood. [img]https://i.imgur.com/JBNYwPQ.png[/img] Reeta: Yeah...Hey guys, Lady Amara with stay with you now. I need to hurry up or I'll be late for school. The kids instead stays even close to Reeta. [img]https://i.imgur.com/kdnszpe.png[/img] Reeta: Um... [img]https://i.imgur.com/JuIsSeV.png[/img] Amara: I'm guessing that right now, they feel safer by your side, since you've comforted them. I guess getting late for school just this once won't hurt. [img]https://i.imgur.com/8wWlObp.png[/img] Reeta: ...I guess... (Maybe they'll calm down once we eat breakfast...) [i][u]Spring Zone - Entrance to the Seimei Family Mansion[/u][/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/VG5GpO1.png[/img] Himika: OKAY! Are you guys ready for the tour of your lives? [img]https://i.imgur.com/9isX3qL.png[/img] Theo: (I'd prefer if the trip was relaxing instead...) [img]https://i.imgur.com/xo147jJ.png[/img] Hinamori: Just the normal speed, if possible. [img]https://i.imgur.com/jtd6WIx.png[/img] Kaori: Same here. [img]https://i.imgur.com/BKdGtxQ.png[/img] Himika: You guys could at least pretend... [img]https://i.imgur.com/4LSVdxN.png[/img] Theo: Still, I'm looking foward to it. [img]https://i.imgur.com/XFfHmyh.png[/img] Himika: Well then, first stop, Theo's school! Because we need to escort our dear Kaori there, maybe even enter the place for a bit. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vM84Dv7.png[/img] Hinamori: School huh? [img]https://i.imgur.com/k0H73vJ.png[/img] Himika: Curious? [img]https://i.imgur.com/DMvdJCR.png[/img] Hinamori: A bit... [img]https://i.imgur.com/MYorvWC.png[/img] Himika: You can ask your cousin or Kaori about how it is. [img]https://i.imgur.com/T4n8PJ3.png[/img] Hinamori: There's no need. I'm mostly interested in what kind of spirits roam that place. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Jzsmkgm.png[/img] Kaori: Eh? [img]https://i.imgur.com/3aYZdqp.png[/img] Hinamori: Maybe...We can find some sort alternate dimension created by the vengeful ghosts of students that were murdered by one of the tea- [img]https://i.imgur.com/nWtjFCh.png[/img] Theo: H-h-hold on a moment Cousin Hina... [img]https://i.imgur.com/5GUJDiu.png[/img] Hinamori: W-What? [img]https://i.imgur.com/bL9Kq8I.png[/img] Theo: That's not something someone should be excited about... [img]https://i.imgur.com/vM84Dv7.png[/img] Hinamori: But...if it really is a thing, I could use my powers to appease their souls and make them move on...And the dimension would dissapear... [img]https://i.imgur.com/AkWCXfi.png[/img] Theo: I'm sure there's nothing of the sort. We're just going to make a bit of a tour there, and then, move on to the rest of the city... [img]https://i.imgur.com/siQ3ADI.png[/img] Theo: Speaking of the tour, Sis, can we visit the Hakurei Shrine after we're done with the school? [img]https://i.imgur.com/XFfHmyh.png[/img] Himika: Oh right, that would be great! I've been wanting to know that place ever since you told me about it. [img]https://i.imgur.com/t2ahypu.png[/img] Kaori: (I hope Hinamori likes the place as well. Since the shrine looks similar to the mansion in terms of their design, I'm sure she'll feel right at home.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/VG5GpO1.png[/img] Himika: Alright, let's head out! [i][u]Ryoukan Tsurugiya Inn - Entrance Lobby[/u][/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/abppPNy.png[/img] Sister Bell: She's not here either... When she had woken up, Fear Mace wasn't in their room. Bell searched around the inn, but couldn't find her friend anywhere. [img]https://i.imgur.com/MGU1hHS.png[/img] Chizuru: Oh, Sister Bell, Good Morning. [img]https://i.imgur.com/79dAvCp.png[/img] Sister Bell: Morning Miss Kashiwagi. Have you seen Sister Fear today? [img]https://i.imgur.com/iSVOnJJ.png[/img] Chizuru: She left a while ago, said that she was going to walk around the city. [img]https://i.imgur.com/NGachb3.png[/img] Sister Bell: I see...Should've known as much. Well, knowing her, she didn't want to wait for Miss Marcia to come here and decided to pass the time somewhere else. [img]https://i.imgur.com/d8zKcHX.png[/img] Chizuru: Are you going to Central Unitia today? [img]https://i.imgur.com/RJqaGjM.png[/img] Sister Bell: Yes, but not at the usual time. Since Sister Fear isn't here, I guess I'll just go eat breakfast now while wait for Mister Haken to wake up. [img]https://i.imgur.com/26Lugkh.png[/img] Chizuru: Alright then. In that case, I hope you have a nice day. [img]https://i.imgur.com/5xnBhEz.png[/img] Sister Bell: Same for you. Oh, I'll apologize in advance if Marcia decides to be rude again. Sister Bell bows, then leaves the Reception Area. [img]https://i.imgur.com/xOPEr3P.png[/img] Chizuru: (I'm not even worried about her manners right now. That girl seemed like she was going to figure out something about myself...I better come up with an excuse if she brings that issue about me not being startled by that man's right arm.) [i][u]World Crossers Guild - Main Lobby[/u][/i] As Kail entered the place, he saw Larissa heading towards the exit. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ARmDsmF.png[/img] Kail: Hey, going out for a jog? [img]https://i.imgur.com/Hp76S1J.png[/img] Larissa: Yes...Something like that. [img]https://i.imgur.com/O4rzhUG.png[/img] Kail: Oh....wait, WHAT? [img]https://i.imgur.com/lp5WStA.png[/img] Larissa: I'm going to help out on the search for Tsuya Abata...As well as seeing the sunlight once more. [img]https://i.imgur.com/PiVYoXD.png[/img] Kail: Ah, "that" huh? But I thought you weren't allowed to go out. [img]https://i.imgur.com/qUPxiPm.png[/img] Larissa: That has been a something that Dad has been thinking for a while. Since I've grown a bit since two years ago, as well as changing my look, "they" wouldn't recognize me right away. I'm also carrying a fake ID in the case I get captured. [img]https://i.imgur.com/3O1wMQ5.png[/img] Kail: I dunno...maybe you should take someone with you... [img]https://i.imgur.com/Vakbpjy.png[/img] Larissa: I work better alone, now if you excuse me... [img]https://i.imgur.com/PiVYoXD.png[/img] Kail: Wait! Larissa didn't listen, leaving the place while ignoring Kail completely. [img]https://i.imgur.com/UyfycYO.png[/img] Kail: That brat...I swear... [img]https://i.imgur.com/Hp76S1J.png[/img] Larissa: (Two years...Ever since Dad decided to go into hiding, I haven't walked around the city. I won't lie, I kinda missed it. Just hearing the noise of the busy city now, somehow makes me at ease. Even if this place is going through some hard times, it's good to see that people are still holding their own.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/lp5WStA.png[/img] Larissa: (Good, they aren't giving me a reason to be completely dissapointed in them just yet.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/uQHqwKH.png[/img] Gillia: Good Morning. [img]https://i.imgur.com/qUPxiPm.png[/img] Larissa: Hm...Hello. They pass by each other without saying a word. Larissa didn't have much interest in the person she just saw, not knowing that was Gillia, who was heading towards the guild. [i][u]Spring Zone - Entrance to the Celest Family's Pagoda[/u][/i] Guard: Halt! Who goes... [img]https://i.imgur.com/vaSybrq.png[/img] Rayla: ... Guard 1: Y-You! [img]https://i.imgur.com/D0osjLV.png[/img] Rayla: Hey there. Nice weather isn't it? Guard 2: What are you doing here? [img]https://i.imgur.com/cazOZGt.png[/img] Rayla: Why are you two being so cautious? I'm a family member too, right? Guard 1: We were told to be wary in the event that you decided to visit. [img]https://i.imgur.com/TTtwQB7.png[/img] Rayla: Right...Because Cousin Bernard doesn't want me to meet Drake...Sigh...It's not like I'm going to bite him... Guard 1: Now, tell us what... Rayla suddenly picks up the guard and throws him at his partner, knocking them both out. [img]https://i.imgur.com/jdUIwsC.png[/img] Rayla: Sorry guys...But I've come here exactly to stich this family back in place...Wheter Bernard wants it or not. Then, she runs up on the wall and goes over it, entering the place. Of course, she was received with a bunch of guards pointing guns, swords, knives and spears at her. [img]https://i.imgur.com/nslIC9V.png[/img] Rayla: I won't judge you guys for doing your job...But I'll be passing through!!! The guards let out a battlecry, charging at Rayla. But then, someone suddenly "appeared" between them and Rayla. ???: [b]STOP![/b] Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOSegT1q2JM]幽香のテーマ / 眠れる恐怖[/url] Guards: !!! [img]https://i.imgur.com/SHWhFAA.png[/img] Rayla: Ah! [img]https://i.imgur.com/j4G3anF.png[/img] ???: You won't stand a chance. Rayla is not someone you'll be able to take down. Leave this to me. Guard: But... [img]https://i.imgur.com/UmiKLIJ.png[/img] ???: Do you want me to make a demonstration of how this is going to go? Because I will if you don't...stay...BACK! Guard: ...Excuse us. The guards decided to watch from afar, knowing how dangerous the fight that was about to begin. [img]https://i.imgur.com/azVm307.png[/img] ???: **Ahem** Excuse them...they were- [img]https://i.imgur.com/ZSb5Chy.png[/img] Rayla: Just doing their job after all. Don't worry, I'm not mad at them. Anyway...Why the famous "Bloody Rose of the Battlefield" is doing here? [img]https://i.imgur.com/dWxp8kc.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/83BY5Cv.png[/img] Seila: My dear cousin calling me by my title...Guess this is a sign that we haven't seen each other in a while. [img]https://i.imgur.com/nslIC9V.png[/img] Rayla: You don't like it? [img]https://i.imgur.com/lV6Zp1z.png[/img] Seila: I don't really mind...but that wasn't the first thing I was expecting you to say right now. [img]https://i.imgur.com/CPNqZPD.png[/img] Rayla: Apologies for the broken expectations...Now then, how about answering my question? [img]https://i.imgur.com/rs5Nyq6.png[/img] Seila: I frequently visit this place. That's all there is to it. [img]https://i.imgur.com/rbdGm1u.png[/img] Rayla: Is it because Cousin Bernard's way of thinking is similar to yours? [img]https://i.imgur.com/vsY9GTV.png[/img] Seila: Huh? [img]https://i.imgur.com/TNyh5GR.png[/img] Rayla: I just remembered something after meeting you right now...You made your sister give up on the trainning and you decided to take the double of it when you were younger... [img]https://i.imgur.com/3oMh1BZ.png[/img] Seila: So you knew... [img]https://i.imgur.com/3NykCcN.png[/img] Rayla: Thinking about it now...I've figured that you're the type of person that does anything extreme in order to protect someone. Kinda like how Cousin Bernard took Drake's freedom. [img]https://i.imgur.com/LcvEeOP.png[/img] Seila: ...You've grown alot Rayla...You seem to be able to understand how other people think in the blink of an eye. [img]https://i.imgur.com/TNyh5GR.png[/img] Rayla: Well...Getting bored fighting thugs does that to you. I was really curious to see how they ticked...and that surprisingly carried over to other people. [img]https://i.imgur.com/yiOeA5a.png[/img] Seila: This means...that you know what I might do you if you choose to keep going right? [img]https://i.imgur.com/jdUIwsC.png[/img] Rayla: ...Sadly...Yes. This was the reason you didn't go after me after all this time... [img]https://i.imgur.com/6MzDJpu.png[/img] Seila: I didn't mind that you weren't trying to defend the city...I thought you understood that it was impossible after all.. [img]https://i.imgur.com/3tmTLtb.png[/img] Rayla: (Suddenly...that nightmare seems even more real...) [img]https://i.imgur.com/NSg7fy1.png[/img] Seila: Or have you forgotten how your father died? Nobody knows how he truly died...There's an unknown force behind all the bad events that have happened to the city since the Civil War. You'll die the same way if you keep going...So please, go back to just fighting random gangsters and leave Drake out of whatever you're planning right now. [img]https://i.imgur.com/BWTWkpf.png[/img] Rayla: Hehehe... [img]https://i.imgur.com/e4vKg9e.png[/img] Seila: Hm? [img]https://i.imgur.com/q5LUy9r.png[/img] Rayla: Hihihi! [img]https://i.imgur.com/Q6vNSKC.png[/img] Seila: W-What? [img]https://i.imgur.com/f1SDCrl.png[/img] Rayla: You're such a sweetie Seila. [img]https://i.imgur.com/UmiKLIJ.png[/img] Seila: Huh? [img]https://i.imgur.com/KLCj2EX.png[/img] Rayla: I just...really can't get mad at you. You always do your best trying to protect your family. It's really admirable... [img]https://i.imgur.com/ifhtcT0.png[/img] Seila: ... Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOR6NI71gH8]境界と追憶の終宴～ネクロファンタジア[/url] [img]https://i.imgur.com/ChuxIxk.png[/img] Rayla: But, I don't agree with your methods. So what if that unknown force is going to ruin the city even more? I'm not going to just stand by and wait for my death. I'm going to fight until the very end! I'm not backing down from this one anymore. [img]https://i.imgur.com/VIMuTUo.png[/img] Seila: Is that your decision? Are we really going to do this? [img]https://i.imgur.com/g3HxhxE.png[/img] Rayla: That's right! Even if you're my opponent, I'm holding nothing back! [img]https://i.imgur.com/NfPJxvh.png[/img] Seila: Then... Seila suddenly vanished from everyone's view. As an Ancestor Mage from the Lilly Yellow Family, Seila combines her extreme speed with a family style that uses two swords, attacking with precise and dance-like movements. [img]https://i.imgur.com/i1OYpVn.png[/img] Rayla: HAAAAAAA!!! [img]https://i.imgur.com/44JxrfB.png[/img] Seila: !!! As Seila appeared behind Rayla however, she had to force herself to block an incoming punch, the force of the impact sending her to a nearby wall, although not quite reaching it, thanks to Seila blocking the attack. [img]https://i.imgur.com/M6JtbQf.png[/img] Seila: Urgh... [img]https://i.imgur.com/CkzRUy2.png[/img] Rayla: Owch...You've got some sturdy swords. [img]https://i.imgur.com/NSg7fy1.png[/img] Seila: They have to be...otherwise, they would break easily the moment I had to use them. They are as unbreakable as my will to protect you. If you can't surpass me, then you have no hope of reaching Cousin Bernard. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ChuxIxk.png[/img] Rayla: If I can't break it, then I'll just have to get around it. There are other ways to pierce a defense y'know. [img]https://i.imgur.com/e4vKg9e.png[/img] Seila: I'm aware... [img]https://i.imgur.com/yJgvGWK.png[/img] Rayla: Then stop with the boasting and give me actions instead! So far, your speed failed to impress me. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Q6vNSKC.png[/img] Seila: Very well then...You'll know for sure how I got my title. Knowing that sneak attacks wouldn't work anymore, Seila took a stance, then ran at Rayla with blinding speeds, throwing dozens upon dozens of slashes in an instant, while blocking and dodging Rayla's counterattacks. From an outsiders perspective, they could barely see what was going on, only the lound sounds of Rayla's fists clashing against Seila's swords in quick sucession. Some of the guards even decided that the distance they were from the fight still wasn't safe enough and left the area instead.
