Kuei-sumi walked through the deserted alley, twirling a small syringe in her hand. The contents of this syringe were no ordinary thing; it was the essence blood of the Nüluo Teng royal family that Zeus had collected from Li Jia-yu when Honda's body traveled to the End of Darkness. Why Li Jia-yu's blood? Because Li Jia-yu's bloodline was more concentrated than Honda's; if a girl used it, it could whiten her skin and make her more beautiful. But if a boy used it, it would cause a 'poof'—Zeus had a lot of this blood. She used some when modifying Kuei-sumi's body, and this whole syringe... Kuei-sumi used it on a boy named Shido when no one was around.
I'm really curious, his gradually feminizing expressions will be so funny.
"You've been following me for so long, come out!" Kuei Cheng said to a dark corner.
"Haha, haha. You're really amazing, fellow countryman!" Black spiritual energy opened a black hole, and a girl dressed in red gothic clothing appeared inside. The girl had a sickly smile on her face and stared at Kuei Sumi with her one red and one gold eyes.
"Oh~" Kuei looked at the girl and then grabbed the slender hand that was reaching for her breasts.
"Stop being silly," Kuei Sumi scolded, looking at the girl beside her who looked exactly like the one standing elsewhere. She also delivered a chop to the neck!
"Ugh~~, private Marseille. But yours is so big, how did it grow like that!" The girl next to her covered her head and squatted down, saying to Kue Sumi with great resentment.
"We're all the same race, so why is there such a big difference?" the girl complained to Kuei Sumi, but when she saw Kuei Sumi raise her right hand again, she obediently shut her mouth.
"Name?" Although she knew the girl, Kuei Sumi felt that anyone who knew another person's name on their first meeting was either a pervert or mentally unstable. The other person knew nothing about you, yet you knew everything about them; wouldn't that make them wary of you?
"Oh ho~~, my name is Tokisaki Kurumi. Nice to meet you, fellow countryman, you smell so good!" Tokisaki Kurumi bowed gracefully to Honda, then leaned close to Kuezumi's ear and said ambiguously.
"Jinguji Kuezumi, nice to meet you." Swatting away a hand that had been sneaking up on her chest, Kuezumi returned a ladylike curtsy. This was something she had been taught and trained in under Hera's serious and rigorous etiquette classes.
"Then you don't mind being called Kuei-chan, do you?" Kurumi rubbed her little hands, which had been slapped red, and looked at Kuei-chan with a smile.
"I don't mind!" Kuei-sumi nodded and said.
"How indifferent!" Kurumi exaggeratedly feigned a sad expression, while Kuei Sumi stood by with an expression that said, 'Keep acting! I'll just watch and not say anything.'
"My dear Kue Sumi-san, would you like me to take you around Tengu City?" Kurumi pouted and extended her right hand to invite Kue Sumi.
"Okay," Kuei Sumi thought, wanting to figure out the current situation anyway, and staying by Kurumi's side wasn't bad. You say you're not afraid she'll eat you? Nonsense! If she could eat spirits and replenish time, she would have done that already. Her Zafkiel seems incredibly powerful, but she's completely dependent on humans. If a spirit's body were to ascend to godhood, coupled with control over the laws of time, then this Kurumi would truly be invincible.
Therefore, she is so obsessed with Shido, a human possessing the power of spirits. Because Shido is human, she can devour him. She can also devour the spiritual power within Shido, thus giving her the ability to activate the Twelfth Bullet to travel back in time and kill the original spirits, so that the spirits will no longer appear in this world.
What a pitiful child! Leaving aside whether she can travel back in time, and even if she can defeat the original spirit, it's still an unknown. This tiny glimmer of hope, in this child's eyes, is the hope of saving the world. Even if the chance of failure is ninety-nine percent, she will try.
"Then, let's go this way!" With that, she dispelled her clone and headed towards a building. Kuei-sumi cleared her mind and followed, their figures slowly disappearing into the alleyway.
