The currently surrounded group of E.I.M.D members are currently trying their best to buy
some time until Hideo shows up.
The dust of battle has surrounded the whole front entrance of the E.I.M.D building and sounds of magic spells being casted can also be heard both at the same time.
"We won't let you through!
Kanade who has just finished her chanting for a spell screamed out with her eyes now glowing full of killing intent.
A loud sound of the said spell roared through the heavens as if it was a deity that casted it...
The sound of the spell hitting some the enemies was soon heard along with the said hit enemies getting knocked out.
The other enemies that she didn't hit didn't back down but instead started to charge at her with weapons like a katana, a long sword, and other kinds of swords in their hands.
With a evil looking smug smile on her face, the silver-haired girl Yui was looking at the enemies as if they were just mere garbage on the streets with her glowing blue-colored eyes.
"Dawn of moonlight!"
The silver-haired screamed with a magic circle appearing beneath the feet of a large group of enemies and with the afternoon sky being covered with clouds...
The whole group was wiped out in an instant with their bodies frozen in place from the spells effects along with their eyes now blinded by the said spell.
A sound of various other complex spells was also heard from Yui hitting even more of the opposition.
"Gyaaaaaaaaah!"
The screams of enemies being hit by those complex spells were heard shortly after.
Kuro who has now teleported with Hideo to where the other girls are is now has also started to use her magic.
"I need you girls to help buy me some more time! I already called the higher ups about this! We just need to buy some time for the reinforcements!"
Hideo exclaimed with multiple numbers of talismans now in his hands, with some of them already thrown towards a small group of enemies causing them to get binded and not able to move or do anything.
"Got it!"
All eight girls replied continuing to cast even more spells causing huge magic circles to appeararound the enemies.
Sounds of thunder could be heard from the sky along with bolts of thunder descending because of Kuro using thunder-based spells.
Long white bolts of lightning could be seen shortly after and hitting her oponents causing them to get knocked out from the high voltage of the lightning.
They were at an advantage in terms of combat until...
A hooded figure jumped in front of them wearing a black cloak with a sailor uniform that cam be seen through the gap in the middle of the cloak.
'Looks like the real trouble has begun...' Akagi thought this seeing the figure jump forward and land in front of them.
Yui sees this and her killer-looking eyes changed it's colors from blue to red.
The hooded figure started to speak, in a manner that looks like it's speaking to someone from far away using a spell.
"Are you sure that she's Tamamo no Mae's descendant?"
With a second of silence coming from her, a voice on the other said of the conversation told her that it is indeed her.
The hooded figure took of it's cloak exposing her white curly hair and red-colored eyes.
She started to laugh like a psychopath...
"So you're the one that keeps on getting in the way of our plans-"
"Die."
Yui didn't even bother letting the white-haired girl finished her sentence, she just started throwing talismans that quickly turned into blue colored flames.
"Nope, Not so fast."
The white-haired girl just jumps upwards avoiding the incoming projectiles that Yui had thrown towards her.
The said flames hit the enemies that were behind her instead after she jumped.
A whole large group of enemies got burnt and knocked unconcious because of her attack...
The white-haired oponent lands on her two feet and disappears for a moment.
'Whoosh!'
The sound of her teleporting was heard behind Kuro, in reponse to this she teleports a few feet away.
This just puts a grin on her oponent face. "Well, that's amusing... You managed to back away from me before I got to hit you."
Kuro's red eyes started to glow in annoyance to the white-haired girl's comment.
"I'm not a human, after all. This is normal."
A cocky smile soon emerged on her face right after she said her comeback.
"hahahahaha!"
The white-haired girl let out a sarcastic laugh as if she was trying to anger Kuro who was now in a battle stance with a talisman on her left hand.
At the same time, Yui who was inches away from them thought: 'She's starting to make me mad... Should I just knock her out?' As she heard the white-haired laugh in a sarcastic way.
Seeing Yui's face, the thought: 'There's that look on her face again...' went through Akagi's mind.
Kuro decides to make the first move by throwing a talisman straight at the girl...
Unfortunately this doesn't work, the girl manages to quickly dodge resulting in more enemies behind her being hit instead.
"?!"
Kuro was caught of guard by this causing her red ruby-like eyes to widen.
'What the hell?! How... That should've hit her...'
Yui who had enough of the white-haired girl's nonsense just starts making multiple magic circles appear...
The sounds of chains were heard shortly after, causing the white-haired girl to get tied up by the said chains in a fast pace.
Seeing what had just happened to her oponent, Kuro was frozen in place because of how fast Yui's magic had activated and wrapped around her target.
"W-What the hell just happened... I didn't even hear her chanting for the spell.."
"The sound of your voice annoys me, I'll do you a favor by knocking you out with these chains." Yui's voice echoed throughout the streets near their location, the chains started to produce once again...
The chains began to tighten around the white-haired girl.
Within a whole minute the girl has gotten knocked out, seeing this Yui made the chains and magic circles disappear and a rope made of light appeared around her hands.
She is now unable to move even if she woke up.
The remaining hostile immortals started feeling scared at what they had just witnessed, causing some of them to retreat.
The others that didn't retreat were just frozen in place from the same fear that the immortals that retreated felt.
"Ah~~~ Looks like you scared them, Yui..."
Kanade said jokingly with a light snicker coming out of her mouth.
Yui didn't say anything, she let out a sigh instead causing her currently red-glowing eyes to revert back to her blue-colored eyes.
'Did I go overboard? I didn't mean for some of them to retreat.'
"Do you still wanna fight?"
With a smile as if mocking her oponents, Yui asked the remaining hostile immortals.
Whispers were then heard on the enemies' side as they heard her question.
- - -
They continued the whispers for quite a while, the reinforcements had already arrived before the made the decision which can potentially cause their deaths if they take any form of wrong actions.
"You can stand down now, Yui. The reinforcements have arrived."
Hideo announced to the crossed-armed Yui who was waiting for their answers for a while.
This sentence that came from Hideo just makes Yui turn her back on the oponents which are now cornered with looks of fear in their faces from how powerful Yui is now that she has five fox tails.
"Let's go. We're done here girls."
Yui said to the eight girls who are still trying to fend off some of the remaining enemies.
They were about to trigger the automatic sliding doors of the E.I.M.D building but...
"Wait, Is that all you've got?!"
A female voice was heard from behind them which made them turn back, a girl that has the appearance of a vampire was standing behind them with glowing eyes looking right through their souls.
Yui's eyes turn back to red as she glares at the vampire that is as sharp as a knife.
"Do you wanna get knocked out as well?"
she provokingly asked the girl with a fox flame on her hand burning bright as if it was the sun itself.
This just makes the vampire laugh out loud as if she just heard a funny joke, she glares back at the silver-haired girl with smug smile.
"I'll tell you what... We came here to discuss something with you, Tamamo no Mae's descendant. We didn't come here to fight..."
The vampire kneels in front of Yui as if she was part of a royal family following with the still scared immortal underlings kneeling as well.
"A deal? Then why did you attack?"
The newly arrived reinforcements glares at the vampire with their weapons pointing towards her...
"We want to be your servants. We only did it to make you come out."
The vampire looks up to Yui with blank eyes as if she was dead inside.
This answer just confused Yui even more since they attacked the HQ instead of just going into the lobby instead of starting a fight, her expression quickly changes to a look that someone would have if they met someone wierd or creepy.
'Oh god... Did I just attract some wierdos?'
Everyone didn't know how to react to this and just kept their mouth shut, meanwhile Kanade who was right behind Yui is currently trying to hold in her laughter.
'What the hell... This is too stupid... And here I thought they were trying to take us out...'
Hideo just face palms at how this whole situation turned out and began to walk back into the building knowing that they aren't hostile.
"Why would you want to serve me? I'm not even a deity."
Yui asked continuing to be confused and now with a blank expression.
The vampiric girl explains that her clan served the fox spirit Tamamo no Mae when she was still alive and they found out that a descendant of hers was born, because of this they now want to serve her.
"What...? I thought Tamamo no Mae didn't have any servants..."
Miku spoke surprised at this fact that wasn't documented on books.
The still in a kneeling stance, the vampire replied: "Yes, We were serving her in the shadows and the official legends of hers doesn't mention us because humans had no idea that we were her servants..."
'This is suspicious...' The four fox girls along with the Miku, and the twin cat humanoids thought knowing Tamamo no Mae's legend well.
The twin cat girls noded at each other and took out talismans secretly and carefully dropped them behind them to setup a capture spell in casr the vampire was lying about the whole thing about being Tamamo no Mae's legend.
A moment of silence surrounded them as Yui started thinking of what to say to the female vampire in front of her...
The reinforcements also started to change their posture to that of a person that's about to use a spell in the chance that the vampire was trying to trick Yui.
"I don't really trust your words... I need proof that proves that you did serve Tamamo no Mae."
Akagi who was standing in between Kuro and Shumizu spoke up looking for evidence that proves that she wasn't lying about what she just said.
"Is that all?"
The vampire got up and took out a scroll that had writting that you'll see on a contract between two parties with finger prints marked on it with blood.
Yui took the said scroll out of the hand of the vampire and carefully examined it.
"Ok, fine do what you want... But if you betray me I'll wipe out your whole clan."
The vampire girl who was now standing had a grin emerge on her face as Yui approved of her clan serving her.
"Yes, Master. We won't betray you... Mark my words..."
She kneeled down again as if she was kneeling in front of a king.
With the "Attackers" turning out to be Tamamo no Mae's former servants, Yui and the others along with the servants continued to arrest any dangerous immortals.
The apprentices of Yui, Kuro, and Shumizu had also finished their apprenticeship and are now fully pledged members of the E.I.M.D.
Tamamo no Mae's former servants now serving the protagonist, Hideo got permission from the higher ups to let them stay at the dorms as the third team of E.I.M.D.
