The Sekirei’s Covenant

Twisted, yes, it was twisted!

"Still alive! Still alive!! Still alive!!! Hahaha… Hahahahaha…"

"Still alive!!!"

It was as if a volcano that had been suppressed for countless years finally erupted, and Karasuba laughed maniacally, ignoring everyone around her. Her expression and the sudden burst of overwhelming momentum scared both Musubi and Kusano, causing them to step back several paces.

"Lady Karasuba, what's wrong with you?" Influenced by Karasuba's aura, even the dazed Musubi felt a hint of fear rising in her heart, her voice trembling as she asked.

Kusano, on the other hand, was already in tears from fright. If it weren't for this suddenly crazed woman still being in front of her, she would have cried out loud to vent her fear.

Ignoring Musubi, Karasuba stomped her foot hard, creating a large pit in the ground, and her body turned into a blur as she chased after Sora, who was fleeing.

Bang! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

Suddenly bursting through the door, Sora rushed into his room like a bandit coming down the mountain, rummaging through everything in a frenzy.

"Ah!!! Sora, what are you doing?!!"

Tsukiumi screamed, having just been in the middle of changing clothes when Sora suddenly barged in, startling her.

"Knife! Knife! Where's my knife, Tsukiumi?!!" Sora was frantic; the big sister chasing after him was about to catch up, but he couldn't find his knife anywhere. Wasn't this going to kill him!!!

"Oh, you mean that katana? I saw it on the cabinet earlier, but it was too conspicuous, so I threw it down below." Although she didn't understand what was going on with Sora, Tsukiumi could tell he was really anxious, so she didn't argue and answered directly.

"Phew…" Sora almost choked on his breath, feeling tears in his heart.

If it were any other time, he would definitely teach Tsukiumi a lesson for carelessly tossing things around. But now that his life was at stake, he didn't have time for that. He kicked the cabinet aside, picked up the knife, and finally felt a bit more at ease.

"Alright, Tsukiumi, I'm off to save my life. You should hide too!" After saying that, Sora didn't wait for the confused Tsukiumi to respond and jumped out of the window.

Boom!!!

Just as Sora jumped out of the window, the door to the room suddenly exploded open, and a gray figure rushed in with astonishing speed!

Tsukiumi was completely dumbfounded. Every brick and tile in Izumo Inn was treated as a treasure by the landlady. Sora was one thing, but who was this woman who suddenly barged in?!!

First surprised, then angry. If the landlady came back and found that Izumo Inn had been torn apart, it would be a disaster!!!

None of them would escape! Thinking of this, Tsukiumi felt her scalp tingle, and she loathed the woman who was destroying Izumo Inn even more.

"You crazy woman, where did you come from? Water Blessing!"

Fueled by anger, Tsukiumi, who was already not in a good mood, activated her ability, shooting a high-pressure water column at Karasuba.

"Get out of the way!!!"

Although Tsukiumi's strength was among the top of all the Sekireis, it was still not enough against Karasuba, who was known as the "Dark Sekirei" and was second only to Miya and Musubi. Karasuba easily dodged the water column and kicked toward Tsukiumi.

Seeing the kick coming her way, Tsukiumi was instantly horrified. This was the first time she had encountered someone so powerful besides the landlady!

Moreover, unlike the landlady, the killing intent emanating from this person was terrifying, causing even Tsukiumi to feel a sense of fear rising within her.

Quickly manipulating the water to form a curtain in front of her, if she got kicked by such a fierce attack, even if she didn't die, she would be seriously injured!

Splash!!! Boom!!!

Water splashed everywhere. Although she blocked most of Karasuba's force, Tsukiumi was still kicked squarely, her body flying like a meteor, crashing through the wall and landing in the yard.

Although she was furious at being obstructed, if she had a knife, Karasuba would not hesitate to cut the opponent down. However, she didn't have time to deal with these minor characters now and quickly turned to chase after Sora again.

"Sora (big brother), where are you going?" After jumping out of the window, Sora landed in the yard, startling Musubi and Kusano, who had been affected by Karasuba's aura.

"Running for my life! Quickly go find Miya and have her come save me!" As he spoke, Sora dashed out of Izumo Inn without looking back.

Sora felt tears in his heart; he knew he was no match for Karasuba, and he was aware of this.

However, looking at Karasuba's crazed appearance, it seemed she truly wanted to unleash years of pent-up resentment all at once. She was already crazy enough, and now she was going even crazier! If she caught him, his life would be in danger!

"Yo, Sora, long time no see!" Just as Sora rushed out of Izumo Inn, he saw a fiery red luxury Ferrari parked nearby, with a sunny and handsome man sitting inside, who greeted him enthusiastically.

Feeling a chill run down his back, Sora recognized this man. His name was Natsuo Ichinomi, a character that the guy from the Imperial Court had somehow found, serving as the third-generation punishment unit leader of MBI.

Although he looked quite handsome, and his sunny, gentle smile was charming, the thought that this guy was gay made Sora shudder all over.

According to the Imperial Court, his sweetheart seemed to have died for some reason, and he had made some boring agreement with the Imperial Court to join MBI and help implement the Sekirei plan.

While he admired his courage to break free from the constraints of ethics and morals for love and wanted to applaud him, Sora didn't want to get too close to him.

He originally planned to ignore him and run away, but suddenly thought of something and stopped.

"Yo, Natsuo Ichinomi, long time no see! Ahem, by the way, when Karasuba asks me which direction I went, just say it was this way, okay?" Sora casually pointed in a direction, smiling amiably at Natsuo Ichinomi.

With a smile still on his face, making people feel like they were in spring, Natsuo Ichinomi replied:

"Hehe, since it's a request from Sora, I naturally won't refuse."

Satisfied, Sora was about to pat Natsuo Ichinomi's shoulder as a gesture of encouragement, but ultimately stopped.

"Then I'll leave it to you. See you!" Not daring to linger any longer, Sora turned into a blur and dashed in the opposite direction.

Just three seconds after Sora left, Karasuba appeared next to the Ferrari.

With a bloodthirsty smile on her face, Karasuba pulled out her katana from the car and asked Natsuo Ichinomi:

"Which direction did that guy run?"

There was no hint of inquiry in her tone, only a questioning demeanor.

Shrugging slightly, Natsuo Ichinomi didn't mind and directly replied:

"That way." Without hesitation, he pointed in the direction Sora had previously left.

"Hey?" With an even broader smile, Karasuba prepared to take off and chase after him again.

"Oh, by the way, Sora asked me to tell you that he went this way." As if just remembering, Natsuo Ichinomi pointed again in the direction Sora had mentioned earlier.

After glancing at Natsuo Ichinomi, a subtle color flashed in Karasuba's eyes. She didn't linger any longer and vanished in an instant.

"Should I inform the president of the Imperial Court?"

"Well, forget it. He'll find out soon enough anyway. I might as well wait for Karasuba to come back over there."

Talking to himself, Natsuo Ichinomi started the Ferrari.

Although he had set a trap for Karasuba, Sora felt a bit uneasy in his heart. After all, running a bit more wouldn't kill him, so he hurried along, trying to put some distance between himself and that crazy woman.

While running, Sora took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number.

"Minaka, you bastard! Didn't I tell you to keep my return a secret, especially from Karasuba?!!!" As soon as the call connected, Sora unleashed a torrent of curses.

"Ah, is that you, Sora? You can't blame me for this. I did block your news and didn't tell Karasuba, right? She just happened to go see Musubi today; it's not my fault!" Old Minaka naturally wouldn't take the blame, but the suppressed laughter in his tone betrayed his true feelings.

Hearing Minaka's response, Sora was instantly furious and shouted:

"You bastard! You knew she was coming and didn't give me a heads-up!!!"

As the president of MBI, a global superstar, and the true power behind Shinto Teito, only Sora dared to shout at him like this. However, Minaka didn't get angry and replied in a somewhat innocent tone:

"Oh, you mean that? I was actually going to tell you. But you know, I've been busy with the Sekirei plan these past few days, and I accidentally forgot."

"Ah, Sora, it's fine! You're tough; I believe in you! It's just a Karasuba, right? For you, it's just a matter of minutes!"

Even though he knew this bastard was just trying to placate him, Sora still felt quite good, and his spirits lifted.

Damn it, it's just a Karasuba! Just a crazy woman! Who am I? I'm Sora, the great master! What am I afraid of!

Thinking this way, Sora felt much more relaxed. He was even considering forgiving Minaka, but what he said next made Sora explode with rage.

"By the way, Sora, don't worry. Even if Karasuba kills you, I'll take care of Takami and Yukari. Hehehe, for the sake of our old friendship, I won't treat them poorly, hahahaha…"

"Oh, right! I've cleared out a no-man's land for you. Just keep going straight, and you'll get there soon. Well, that's it, Sora, goodbye!"

Without waiting for Sora to respond, Minaka hung up the phone.

Crack! Sora crushed his phone into pieces with one hand.

"Minaka, I'll kill you! I'll kill you!! I must kill you!!!" Burning with rage, Sora stopped and prepared to turn back to the MBI building to take down Minaka.

However, as soon as he turned around, Sora was dumbfounded!

"Hehehe, I'll kill you! I'll kill you!! I'll kill you!!!"

This time, it was no longer Sora's voice but that of a woman with a crazed, twisted smile, holding a katana…
