"If that punk with the feathered wings does ignore you guys and goes after us, then I don't want my parents to be involved either!" Issei then turns to Raynare and blushes. "Besides, that girl up there is my girlfriend, and I don't want to abandon her if there's a chance she won't win."
Raynare was taken back by Issei's words. Her eyes were wide with surprise as a dark blush of her own dust her cheeks. Her eyes then turn sad towards him, feeling guilty inside.
"Even after showing you my true form, you still like me…"
"My brother's a hardcore pervert, Yuuma-san," Ginjo explains bluntly with a deadpan. "He'll like anyone or anything as long as it's a hot chick with big breasts."
BAP!
"My leg!"
Ginjo glares at his blushing brother after the latter kicked him.
"Did you have to say that to her?!"
"OI! Am I seriously being ignored here?!"
Before Ginjo could say anything to Issei, the two, plus Koneko and Raynare turn towards an annoyed Dohnaseek.
"I mean, seriously," he continued. "What am I to you all? A meat puppet that'll be killed in the future?!"
"Yup," Koneko answers dryly with a deadpan, earning a surprised expression from Raynare.
Dohnaseek growls before conjuring another blue object. This time, it wasn't a blue light spear. Instead, it was a blue light sword.
Even though he is his killer, Ginjo had to admire how the blue light sword looked. It looked exactly like a sword, except that it was made entirely out of the blue light material he conjured from his hand.
Dohnaseek then points his sword at Ginjo and Koneko.
"Let's hear you say that when I'm through with you!"
With a battle cry, Dohnaseek charged at Koneko and aimed for both her and Ginjo's head. Koneko immediately pushed Ginjo out of the way with one hand and quickly dodged Dohnaseek's slash before kicking him in the head, sending him flying towards a tree with a loud bang.
Issei and Ginjo's eyes nearly popped out of their skulls when they saw Dohnaseek crash into a tree. He hit it with so much force, splinters spurted out of the tree. The Hyoudous wouldn't be surprised Dohnaseek died by that amount of force.
"Ginjo..?"
"Yeah, bro..?"
"I think I pissed myself…"
Dohnaseek gets up from the ground and shoots a glare at Koneko. He then conjures another sword and attempts to kill the Hyoudous again, not wanting to waste any time with her.
Before he could approach them, a red spear stopped him from cutting one of them when it penetrated the ground. Looking up, he grumbled in aggravation when it was Raynare who stopped him.
"I won't let you lay a single hand on any of those two!"
Koneko looked up at Raynare with a raised eyebrow.
"Why would you want to protect them, Fallen Angel?"
Landing on the ground, Raynare shoots a stare back at Koneko.
"Because I have orders to watch those boys and protect them." Raynare's cheeks tinge a light red. "Also, Issei-kun became a person I care about."
Since Raynare and Koneko were away from Issei and Ginjo, the boys couldn't hear the conversation the girls were having with one another.
"What about you?" Raynare continued, questioning Koneko. "Why did you come here towards this rogue Fallen Angel, Devil?"
Koneko flinches when Raynare calls her that in an interrogating tone. She then glares at her while maintaining her serious expression
"I came here to protect Ginjo-kun because he's my friend. Dumbass."
Raynare blinks at Koneko. She wanted to retort for the name she called her but decided to let it go and say "Fair enough." before turning her gaze back to Dohnaseek.
By the time the two girls set their attention on him, Dohnaseek's next spear has penetrated the ground in between the two; on Raynare's right, and on Koneko's left. The two snap their heads towards the spear and were surprised to see that it didn't hit either of them.
'Did he miss?' Raynare wondered in her thoughts, puzzled at why he impaled his weapon of light in the ground instead of aiming for her or Koneko. When she looked back up towards Dohnaseek, she saw that he was grinning menacingly at her and Koneko.
Seeing that grin made Raynare realize that he threw his spear there on purpose.
"Oh shi-"
BOOM!
"Yuuma-san!"
"Koneko-san!"
Issei and Ginjo watch in horror as they see the light spear explode in between. Raynare and Koneko. The blue explosion was strong enough to send them both flying in opposite directions of each other and land on the ground on their backs.
While Raynare was hurt, Koneko took worse damage from the spears explosion, with some burn marks on her arms and legs. Some of her shirt and skirt were torn up as well, exposing some parts of her purple panties and the left of her matching-colored bra. As the latter tried to get up, she grits her teeth to see that she was unable to do so.
'Dammit! It's the spear's light…'
"Ha ha ha! Why didn't I do that earlier?!" Dohnaseek asks himself as he conjures another spear in his hand. He then points it towards Koneko, who widens her eyes when his gaze falls upon her.
