Last time, Katsu was still being targeted by Kuroyuri's group. Some information on the Shinigami Squad was revealed. Hironori reveals his beliefs and feelings about immortality. The name of the leader of Kuroyuri's group is revealed. Kuroyuri appears.
So you must be the Rose Maiden or Priestess I heard of? Kuroyuri asked. What is it, you? Ally asked. I want you to stay away from my Katsu. Kuroyuri replied. Kuroyuri puts her hand on Katsu's face and kisses his cheek. She whispered in his ear, "I will come for you". Ally rushed to Kuroyuri to attack until Kiyoshi appeared and stopped the attack. Is it true that you work for her? Ally asked. So what of it? What can you do to me? Kiyoshi asked. Ally vanished. Where did she go? Cosmos asked. Ally slashed at Kiyoshi's neck. I see you have improved your skills since the last time. As I heard, you gained immense powers over the course of two years. You learned the ninja arts and swordsmanship in different countries. That agility and god-like speed came from that hellish training I heard of. Kiyoshi replied. Oh, you must have had a gap in your information because the sword I just used is one I have not introduced you to. This sword is called Avaritia. It is one of the great swords of the Sword Empress, Yuri. She bestow this sword on me and a collection to match. Ally replied. Ally sheathed the sword. Oh yeah, one slash is more deadly than a thousand. Ally replied. I will say you have gotten stronger, but not on my level. Kiyoshi replied. He unsheathed his sword. Kiyoshi was about to cut off Ally's head. Katsu's sword tapped and sent Kiyoshi into the wall. I'm sorry, but I can't let you hurt her. Katsu replied. How did you do that? Kuroyuri asked. You're not the only one who knows how to use the forbidden arts. Katsu replied. So if the rumors are true, the Crimson-Eyed Reaper works secretly under Yukimoto. Kiyoshi replied. So what if I am? Katsu asked. You are a dangerous man; from the rumors I have heard, you decapitated many lords heads for money. Kiyoshi replied. So what if I did? Katsu replied. You are nowhere near being able to call yourself a human being. Kiyoshi replied. You can call me whatever you like; I don't care what you think about me. Katsu replied. I want to test out your sword, Higanbana. Kiyoshi replied. I didn't know that the sword you are using isn't Higanbana. Kiyoshi replied. That wasn't Higanbana? Ally replied. Higanbana is like the main sword, and this is the sword in the collection. Katsu replied. They all have her energy signature but possess unique abilities. This sword overpowers its opponent. Katsu replied. If he had attacked me, he would have killed everyone in the building. Higanbana replied. Higanbana, did you take everyone somewhere safe? Katsu asked. Yes, I did as you asked. Higanbana replied. Ally, we need to get out of here. I replied. It's the female knight, Rumiko Vesta, and that hot head. Kiyoshi replied. Hey, is it okay if I hurt him? I asked. No, it is not okay; he wants you to become angry. Rumiko replied. Isn't she the one who stopped your sword, Kin? Kiyoshi asked. That lowlife half-breed Kin replied. You are a human that possesses dragon-like abilities, and it's the dragon of Calamity, Calum, the Dragon King of Ira. Kiyoshi replied. So what if my dad is that? My mother accepted him for him, not his dangerous title. Rumiko replied. Well, I struck a nerve. Kiyoshi replied. Rumiko gave him a blank stare, turned her head, and looked at Kaoru. Never mind, Kaoru, you take that back; you take the first shot, and I will back you up. Rumiko replied. Hey, you are usually the voice of reason in our trio, not violence. Violence is Kaoru's thing, not yours. Ally replied. Shut up; I am not the violent one. I replied. Everyone nodded. I walked past Katsu and whispered, "You might get rewarded for saving Ally". Aoi replied. Katsu seemed to get a certain burst of inspiration.
It seems like Katsu is really in love with Ally but doesn't want her to lose faith in him.
Wonder where their relationship heading?
Stay Tuned.
