Tatsumaki was dragged by her grandmother to a unknown location, even Daiki couldn't track her but the truth is that they were just in a village near the border of the Fox Capital or at least that is what Daiki likes to call it since he forgot the name and he doesn't have any appraisal skills to use and check.
"Your not going to go after them, Daiki-sama?" Lynette asked while combing Luna's hair.
"No and I already told you countless times that when the three of us are alone like this you should just call me Daiki-niichan" Daiki said while puffing up his cheeks a little which made the Luna and Lynette giggle.
"So, even the great and all mighty 'Retributor' can't make a kid do what he wants" Luna commented then out of nowhere Daiki suddenly felt pain in his chest where his heart is.
"Boss!! The village where the Miss is staying at have been attacked by bandits and now she is captured!!" Hina shouted in the hurry after bursting through the door.
"WHAT?!!!" Daiki shouted in surprise then jumped out of his window.
"Does Boss even know where the village is?" Hina asked while Luna and Lynette shrugged their shoulders.
"But knowing Nii-san he probably tailed them so that he can find Tatsumaki-neechan when needed" Luna answered.
Meanwhile with Daiki who was actually overestimated by Luna was just running in a straight line while letting out his mana into the forest making the weak animals and monsters avoid him.
"Aaahhhh!!! This is why I hate that old hag!!!" Daiki complained loudly.
"You stinking brat!! Who is an old hag?!!!" a female voice suddenly answered Daiki.
"If your not one then who is?!! And stop it with the games or else I will not hold back anymore!!!" Daiki demanded.
"Ho~ So even a little pup can challenge me now, how did I even fall like this?" the female voice complained which made a tick mark appear on Daiki's forehead.
"DON'T BLAME ME FOR BEING CRUEL!!" Daiki warned then jumped straight to a nearby tree fists covered in dense ice to the point that it could be compared to steel in Daiki's past life.
"Wha-?!" The female voice was shocked and her illusion was suddenly dispelled.
Now her figure is fully revealed to the world, a woman who seems to be in her twenties with the body type and personality of a vixen along with her long black hair, fox ears, and eight fox tails. Any man would easily fall in love with her no matter how old or young, that was until he met Daiki who looked at her with eyes of a wolf in rage after someone attacked his pack which made her slightly scared.
"CURSE YOU, YOU OLD HAG!! YOU SAID THAT YOU WOULDN'T LET ANYTHING HARM TATSUMAKI SINCE SHE IS YOUR GRANDDAUGHTER BUT WHERE IS SHE NOW?" Daiki asked while losing his cool while the black of his hair started to slowly cover the white part.
"Huh?" Tatsumaki's Grandmother was confused but Daiki wasn't the type to talk it out once his loved ones are in danger that's why he didn't answer and continued his onslaught of punches and kicks while she either dodged or counter attacked by hitting Daiki on his sides with a force that could rival a SS rank which shattered some of Daiki's ribcage.
"Grrrr!!" Daiki is letting out his animal instincts and the corruption take hold of him along with his [Dark Knight] job being one of the toughest jobs in history made the pain barely enough for Daiki to not mind while blood overflowed from his mouth but he refused to bow down.
"Wait! listen to me!! I don't know what you are talking about! Tatsumaki is totally safe even now!" Tatsumaki's Grandmother tried to explain.
"Shut up!! I tried to be polite to you Shizuko since you are Tatsumaki's relative but what did you do? You repeatedly harassed me gave me impossible tasks to try and get me and Tatsumaki to break up!! NOW DON'T BLAME ME FOR BEING CRUEL SINCE YOU LET TATSUMAKI FALL INTO HARM!!" Daiki shouted in anger then caught one of Shizuko's arms when she tried to punch him.
Daiki then jumped dragging Shizuko along with him and then started spinning in the air to the point that he was only a blur then let go of Shizuko's arm which made her hit the ground hard and cause her to vomit blood but Daiki wasn't an idiot that's why he chained her up to the ground using his ice magic.
"Any last words?" Daiki asked his eyes are now fully light blue with a trail of energy surrounding it.
Shizuko couldn't respond to what Daiki had just said which made Daiki click his tongue and create his signature heavy broadsword that he uses in his regular training.
When Daiki was just about to swing his sword down his chest started hurting again but this time he instinctively knew where he should go so he didn't waste even a single second and started to run towards where his instincts is guiding him.
Daiki started to feel his heart beat faster and ache more which is seriously taking a toll on him since only his body is strong and the inside is just strong against poisons and internal bleedings not aches.
"Gggggg!!!" Daiki is hurt very hurt but he still continued to run towards where his instincts were telling him.
"Tatsumaki!!!!" Daiki shouted as his eyes turned back into pure light blue eyes without even a trace of the white part left and his hair had completely turned black.
"I swear to the Gods above that I will save you!!!" Daiki swore and started to run once again.
