Her heart was caught in a bitter struggle.
The blue-haired girl bit her pink lips in deep thought.
Finally, she solidified her decision.
Standing up, she refused Yukino Yukinoshita.
“Sorry, Yukino-san, I can’t give you Saber’s contact information.”
“Why?!”
Witnessing the only hope being dashed.
Yukino Yukinoshita stood up involuntarily, anxiously looking at the girl opposite her.
“Sanada-san, if you have any other requirements, please tell me directly. As long as it’s within the reach of the Yukinoshita family, we can do anything for you!”
She couldn’t bear to watch the opportunity slip away!
“It’s not that…”
Sanada Kazama was startled by the enthusiastic short-haired woman.
Her scarlet lips trembled, hesitant, “I just don’t want to break my promise with him.”
“Sanada-san!”
Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly raised her voice. Her sudden high-pitched tone drew curious glances from everyone in the cafe.
“My family is now in a precarious situation, under constant attack by the Sumijigai group. Please, I beg you, do me this favor.”
“If you don’t help… I really can’t find anyone else willing to help our family.”
For the first time, the short-haired woman removed her mask in public.
At this moment, she abandoned the dignity of a wealthy heiress and respectfully bowed to the girl in front of her.
“Please, please contact Saber.”
“Yukino-san!”
Sanada Kazama panicked.
She couldn’t imagine the glamorous, beautiful heiress would bow to her in public.
You know, in Wano Country, the etiquette of bowing down, is generally used to express the deepest apologies, or sincere requests.
It seemed like.
Yukino Yukinoshita was desperate.
The aggressive Sumijigai group had pushed her to the brink.
“I, I’ll help you. Please get up first.”
Sanada Kazama sighed softly and helped the short-haired woman back to her seat.
Finally, under Yukino Yukinoshita’s eager gaze, she sent a message to Ye Ran.
【Sanada Kazama】：“Ye Ran-san, are you there?”
【Ye Ran】：“Sanada, what’s the matter?”
【Sanada Kazama】：“It’s like this…”
A long message was sent.
The young man behind the screen seemed to fall into a brief contemplation.
Yukino Yukinoshita on the opposite side bit her silver teeth, involuntarily clenching her fists.
This kind of thing, entrusting your fate to others, was truly unbearable.
But she had tried everything and had no way out.
This desperate gamble, a last resort, was her final plan.
Finally, in this suffocating wait, the blue-haired girl’s phone vibrated.
“Phew… Yukino-san, good news, Saber agreed.”
“He’ll come to your family’s territory tomorrow to eradicate those illegal curse users.”
Putting down her phone.
A bright smile bloomed on Sanada Kazama’s beautiful face.
“Phew…”
Visibly, Yukino Yukinoshita relaxed.
Her excitement caused her petite body to sway slightly.
“Thank you, Sanada-san. You are now a friend of the Yukinoshita family. Whenever you need help or have any requests, our family is always ready to go through fire and water for you.”
The short-haired woman expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Sanada Kazama for her help.
With a top-tier strongman to help protect the family, her trip to Tokyo had not disappointed her mother’s hopes.
…
…
In the dark, moonless night sky.
The cold night seemed to be dyed in deep ink.
“Shwoo…!”
A black crow, with feathers covering its entire body and thick hair, let out a clear cry as it soared freely in the air.
Moments later.
It seemed to have found its target.
Looking down at the crowd, it flapped its wings, like an out-of-control plane, and at lightning speed, crashed into the chest of an armed thug.
“Aaahhhhh!!!”
The moment of the explosion.
The one who was attacked only had time to let out a desperate scream before being forced to perish with the self-exploding crow.
The armed thug was covered in countless blood and numerous pieces of flesh and bone, gradually staining a small area red.
“Be careful, that woman’s technique is back!!”
“Take cover! Those damn crows will self-detonate upon discovering their target, they’re very fast, be careful of their sneak attacks!!”
“Quick, go and call the curse users!” Someone cried anxiously.
“What’s the rush, you bunch of good-for-nothing. Let that woman consume some more curse energy.”
Bald, wearing a black leather apron, holding a black giant axe, with thick dark circles under his eyes, Soyozu Ayatsuri looked like a violent maniac straight out of a PG-18 comic.
At this moment, he was lazily walking out of the Sumijigai residence.
Witnessing the countless black crow flocks in the night sky, he couldn’t help but reveal a bloodthirsty smile.
Just wait a little longer.
That woman’s curse energy must be running low.
It’s said that the women in that family are all beautiful.
Although, the people who hired them said...
Everyone in the family must be killed today, to eliminate them.
But before that happens, he might as well enjoy himself.
In the curse world at that time, most curse users would actively engage in curse killing for generous rewards.
They were natural enemies of the orthodox curse users.
And today, Soyozu Ayatsuri, along with his friend Omote Haruta and a group of curse users, had taken on the dirty job for the Sumijigai group – exterminating the Yukinoshita family!
“Damn it, there are too many curse users on the other side, my curse energy is almost depleted!”
A series of rapid curse confrontations had caused the white-haired woman, Mingming, to consume a large amount of curse energy.
Her pretty face was pale and bloodless, even her voluptuous, graceful tall body swayed slightly.
Mingming’s specialty, 【Blackbird Manipulation】, allows her to control black crows for combat and share their vision.
And the core ability of this technique - “Divine Wind”.
It can forcibly sacrifice the crow’s life as the price to make it launch a suicide attack on the enemy.
Indeed, it’s a very convenient and practical technique.
But no matter what, as a curse user, her curse energy is limited.
With prolonged use, it’s natural that supply wouldn’t meet demand.
“Yukino-sama, how much longer until Saber arrives?”
Mingming rubbed her aching temples caused by excessive curse energy consumption and asked the beautiful woman beside her.
Yukino-sama wore a classical kimono.
Her figure was slender and graceful, her temperament elegant and dignified.
Like a night-blooming cereus, elegant and charming.
But now, facing the curse user’s question, the expression on her pretty face was somewhat ugly.
“Soon, just wait a little longer. Yukino said she’s on her way with the curse user called Saber.”
“I can only hold on for another 5 minutes. If they don’t arrive by then, I’m running.”
Mingming shook her head and drained the glass of water in one gulp.
She informed the beautiful woman of her situation.
“Mingming-san, can’t you hold on a little longer? I promise Yukino and the others will be here soon!”
Although Yukino-sama remained impassive on the surface.
But the pair of pink fists hidden under her kimono sleeves couldn’t help but clench tightly.
“No.” The white-haired woman declared coldly, “I’m just paid to do a job, I’m not going to risk my life for your family.”
“The curse users on the other side, at least twenty or thirty, there’s even a first-class curse user, while on our side, apart from me, there are only a few fourth-class curse users…”
“It seems like the mastermind is determined to exterminate your family.”
As soon as these words were spoken.
The expression on Yukino-sama’s face, which she had been trying to maintain, instantly changed.
Watching the Yukinoshita family being gradually suppressed by the opposite side, their defeat was evident.
The composed and elegant beautiful woman finally revealed her unavoidable fear.
Could it be that the Yukinoshita family would truly perish in her generation?
“Coo…!”
At that moment.
A large black shadow suddenly fell from the sky in the distance.
A black giant bird with wings as wide as they could cover the sky, suddenly broke through the dark night and charged into the battlefield.
And atop its massive body stood Yukino Yukinoshita.
And… a handsome young man Snow Mother had never seen before!
