"Ah~~~~" A sharp cry echoed beneath the giant tree.
"They're gone!" Kuesumi looked again and again, realizing that all the energy seeds on the tree had disappeared.
"Damn, isn't this a slap in the face?" Kuesumi rubbed her smooth cheek, feeling an invisible slap across it. She had just promised to protect its daughters, and less than a year later, they were all gone. This slap made Kuesumi's face hurt terribly.
"I didn't feel anyone come in either, so what exactly is going on?!" After calming down, Kuesumi began to analyze the situation.
Before she could come up with any results, a tiny figure, to Kuesumi's surprise, flew to the tree and began to slumber.
"This is Yoshino." Looking at the cute bunny outfit, Kuesumi recognized this loli. It seemed the plot was about to begin, and Phantom had already started acting. Most importantly, this confirmed one thing for Kuesumi: the time flow in the two spaces was definitely not the same. Thinking this, Kuesumi did not disturb the sleeping beauty. She was waiting for the next Spirit to return. Who would be next?
A month later!
"So, it's Tohka!" Looking at the sleeping princess before her, Kuesumi sighed heartlessly.
Half a month later!
"This is the prototype of the twins!" Looking at the Spirit-clad maiden before her, dressed like a character from a certain famous indescribable game, Kuesumi exclaimed in admiration.
Three months later!
"Kurumi, I like you (crossed out)."
A month and a half later!
"This is Nanasai the loli!"
After Nanasai the loli, no other Spirits returned. Kuesumi thought about the original plot and felt relieved; some Spirit girls have excellent control over their powers and weren't instantly swayed by the increase in strength, perfectly managing their Spirit abilities. For example, Miku, Nia, and Muku. Kotori, on the other hand, had Phantom guiding her to seal her own power.
Kurumi never returned after she left, and neither did Nanasai.
Recently, Tohka and Yoshino have been appearing more frequently. It seems the plot is about to begin!
When Tohka went out, Kuesumi also had the idea of going out.
"Excuse me~!" Kuesumi had a slight smile on her face and began to stir the spiritual power within her.
Meanwhile, in Tengu City!
"Shido, let's go on a date! Let's eat something delicious," Tohka said to the awkward blue-haired young man beside her, a happy smile on her face!
"Alright, alright, alright," the helpless young man said to Tohka.
"Whoosh—whoosh—!" As the two walked to the bakery, a loud, piercing alarm blared in the sky!
"Shido, it's a Spacequake! Quickly comfort Tohka and then go to an uninhabited place." A girl's voice came from the wireless earpiece in the young man Shido's ear. This was the young man's sister, Itsuka Kotori.
Shido verbally comforted Tohka, pointed her towards an air-raid shelter, and then ran to an empty corner. A flash of light, and he disappeared from the spot, completely oblivious to the disappointment in Tohka's eyes!
"Shido, we have a problem! A formidable new Spirit has appeared this time." As soon as Shido entered the command room, Kotori anxiously said, looking at the screen.
Shido looked over as well; a massive, distorted black hole was brewing above Tengu City, seemingly about to reach saturation and explode!
But what was even more concerning was its 'SS' scale; everyone present broke out in a cold sweat. Tohka's Spacequake scale was 'B', which meant this new Spirit was ten times stronger than Tohka.
"Boom~~~!" Just as everyone was surprised, the Spacequake descended. The entire sky above Tengu City looked like the end of the world. It plunged into darkness; because it was in the sky, it didn't obliterate the entire Tengu City, but the aftershocks turned the city's houses into dangerous structures!
"Quickly, full retreat!" The ships in the sky were also inevitably affected. Kotori wiped a cold sweat and gave the order!
"Aye!" So everyone frantically maneuvered their ships to retreat. It was no joke; being caught in the aftershocks would surely send them plummeting from the sky. They'd be dead or crippled!
After much effort to escape the affected area, they began searching for the culprit behind the Spacequake!
At this moment, dark clouds began to cover the sky, and lightning started to strike intermittently. Strangely, these lightning strikes were confined to a single area!
"I wasn't careful and didn't control my strength well!" Kuesumi, standing in mid-air, looked around and sighed with some relief. If it had descended on the ground, there likely wouldn't be anything left to play with!
"Target found!" As expected of the black technology in the anime, even with the lightning interference, they managed to find Kuesumi!
"Zoom in!" Kotori, sitting in the Commander's seat, said while biting her lollipop!
"Aye!"
"Wow! So beautiful." Under Kotori's command, everyone finally saw the protagonist. Kuesumi's figure appeared on Ratatoskr's large screen! One of the girls couldn't help but exclaim, because the current Kuesumi was simply too cool. Black boots with blue stripes, a cape, and gauntlets, mixed with a Gothic lace short skirt. It perfectly accentuated Kuesumi's queenly demeanor, and with the background of bathing in lightning, it truly made the girls unable to resist. It was like the saying, 'When women become cool, men have nothing on them.'
Without anyone noticing, a white-haired older sister, without a trace, clenched her hands. Really! Why would this troublesome fellow appear here? Clearly, she knew Kuesumi.
"Onii-chan, can you handle it?" Looking at Kuesumi, who was slowly descending, Kotori felt a drum beating in her heart. Facing such a goddess, could her brother, with his usual demeanor, really succeed?
"I want to save all the Spirits!" Shido said firmly. This was the vow he made when he first met Tohka.
"Good! As expected of my brother." Kotori praised, looking at Shido's determined eyes. Since he himself had said so, she had no reason to object and immediately began the transfer.
"You're quite late!" Kuesumi wasn't talking about Shido, but about Origami and the others who were flying towards her.
As she inwardly mused, the AST members flew in! After being momentarily stunned by Kuesumi's magnificent posture, their aversion to Spirits made them launch an attack.
"Target found, commencing elimination!"
"Oh la, oh la," Kuesumi scoffed disdainfully as she watched the missiles and bullets flying towards her.
With a thought, her psychic power activated.
All bullets and missiles stopped in mid-air, unable to get within five meters of Kuesumi!
"Nani!" Kusakabe Ryoko couldn't help but curse; how could someone be so overpowered?
Before Ryoko could recover from her surprise, Origami drew her light saber and charged forward!
"Wait~~" Before Ryoko could finish speaking, she felt a hand gripping her neck. Not just her, but Origami and all the team members were suspended in mid-air by these invisible hands.
"You humans are truly energetic!" Kuesumi, in full boss mode, floated in front of Origami and grabbed her chin. But why didn't Kuesumi see hatred in her eyes? Instead, it was a mixture of complex emotions: relief, surprise, happiness. It was truly hard to believe so many emotions could be seen in the eyes of an emotionless girl!
"Well then, Yang's Therapy." Feeling something was amiss, Kuesumi used a little force to knock Origami unconscious. The other girls weren't so lucky; Kuesumi gave them a good electric shock. Kuesumi controlled it very well, only making them faint.
"Shido, come back quickly! She's an actively attacking Spirit. Contact is not allowed right now!" When Kotori saw this scene, she instantly said to her idiotic brother.
"You should have said so earlier!" Shido looked at the glass that exposed half of his body and Kuesumi's observing gaze. He felt like crying inside; how could she trick him like this?
