Tengu city, a certain zoo .

The zoo is strangely deserted with nary an animal in sight . Without any living things here to make noise, the zoo became eerily quiet .
Kurumi stood here, patiently waiting for someone . On the ground, Tohka, Kotori, Yoshino and Shiori are restrained by pale arms that came out of the ground .
“Looks like you planned this meticulously . How much time did you spend on this, Kurumi?”
Kotori nonchalantly asked like she’s not even in danger . She didn’t forget to add a bit of sarcasm in her tone .
“How cowardly of you, Kurumi!”
Tohka struggled to get out of the restraints but without her powers, the frail arms felt like tiger grips .
Yoshino is terrified of this situation . She cringed in fear between Tohka and Kotori . Meanwhile, Shiori is still unconscious .
Kurumi grinned at Tohka .
“It’s useless for you to struggle . You should relax and just lay down obediently . ”
“What are you trying to do here?”
Kotori asked Kurumi .
“Let me guess, Shido?”
“Shido!”
Tohka squirmed harder as she yelled out loud .

“I will never let you hurt Shido!”
Tohka’s word ticked off Kurumi .
“Ara ara, who said anything about hurting Shido?”
She approached Tohka and she asked Tohka .
“Why would I ever hurt Shido?”
“So she says…”
Kotori replied with a tone of disbelief .
“You girls will never understand my feelings for him . ”
She caressed Tohka’s face despite her disapproval . She continued .
“Shido is different . He is the perfect one just for me . Of course, I am not going to hurt him . I want to spend an eternity with him . ”
“Just to clarify, when you say an eternity you mean eating him literally with your City of Devouring time right?”
Kurumi replied .
“No…”
“That’s for food . Someone like Shido deserves way better . ”
Kurumi chuckled .

Suddenly, she had a nasty grin .
“I am planning on eating him personally, that is why I kidnapped you girls . This all wouldn’t happen if Shido properly listened to me . ”
“Eat?!”
Tohka yelled at her .
“So you are still going to harm Shido!”
“Anyway, just sit back and watch…”
Kurumi smiled in a sinister way .
“Be sure to watch my date with Shido and witness our union . ”
“Kurumi!”
Tohka shrieked in anger . Kotori also bit her lips while Yoshino struggled to get free . She might be timid but she is not going to sit here and watch someone threaten Wu Yan .
A bright pillar of light appeared which attracted everyone’s attention . Two figures appeared from the light pillar .
Mana and Yatsuki have arrived .
“Onee-chan . ”
Mana panicked when she saw an unconscious Shiori on the ground . Both of them wanted to rush to Shiori and Kotori’s aid but a figure stopped them before they can do that .
“Pesky as ever…”

Kurumi grumbled . She is very annoyed by the presence of the uninvited guests . She is going to mess Mana up if she is here to cause trouble .
“You again!”
She drew her lightsaber in anger . The lightsaber had a malicious glow .
“Ara ara, so scary…”
She joked but Yatsuki can feel enormous killing intent when he tried to get closer to Kotori .
Kurumi is not taking him seriously . If he tried anything, she is going to put him down immediately with lethal force .
Yatsuki backed away to find a spot to snipe Kurumi . He knew Kurumi must be taken out first if they want to save the girls . Mana also knew this .
Kurumi laughed at their skittish behavior . She is very amused, to say the least .
” You aren’t thinking you can take me down as easily as before right?”
Mana stayed silent . She is not in AST, as Ratatoskr personnel, her mission is to save spirits .
But, if Kurumi presents a material danger to Shiori then Kurumi’s head is coming off . Not like this is the first time she evaded death anyway .
“Release them at once!”
Mana demanded .
“Release them?”
Kurumi licked her lips and she nodded .
“Sure, I just want Shido anyway . These girls look very appetizing though…”
Mana raised her guards even more . Kurumi grinned in her usual insidious manner .
“But, they are important guests for the finale so they have stay put here, however unfortunate that maybe for you . ”
Mana and Yatsuki replied in a grave tone .
“We have something to say about that . ”
Kurumi’s shoulders trembled . She laughed like a maniac .
“Seriously, stop meddling with my affairs, don’t you people know how rude you people are?!”
“So be it…”
Kurumi’s eyes shone brightly with malice . Her beautiful face twisted into an abominable grin .
” You guys will be the prelude to my play before the lead actor arrives . ”
She twirled around and a dark mist enveloped her . The wind made her classy clothes flutter . More and more dark power gathered with her as the center until the surge of power formed a cocoon around her . The girls turned pale when they saw her emerge from the cocoon .
Mana’s powerful and she fought with her copies multiple times before this . However, Yatsuki felt a bit tense at the thought of fighting Kurumi .
This is the first time Yatsuki is fighting against a spirit directly .
When Kurumi appeared again, she’s draped in her Astral Dress, red and black goth lolita clothes . Her hair are also tied into uneven ponytails . The pupil of her left eye is also exposed, they could see her golden clock ticking away . Her Astral dress made her look so devilish it’s impossible for her to be a human .
