It was too careless—Kurome had forgotten about Syura's Teigu's ability. Hir Teigu was Dimension Formation, a space-moving type Teigu, capable of instantly transporting the target to a predetermined marked location. This meant he could go to any place she had marked, and its capabilities were among the best of all Teigu.
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Kurome couldn't help but close her eyes, waiting for the pain to arrive.
At that moment, Kurome suddenly felt an arm reach over, holding her body tightly. She was immediately startled, her face turning red with a mix of shock and anger. Syura, that bastard, was taking advantage of her!
Just as Kurome was about to fight Syura desperately, a voice as melodious as a clear spring sounded in her ear, and she froze.
"What is it, don't you recognize me?"
Suddenly looking up, Kurome found herself looking at a stunningly beautiful silver-haired girl. Her brows were like paintings, her eyes bright and her teeth white, and she was looking down at Kurome with a playful smile. It was Kaguya.
Kurome's delicate face showed a hint of surprise, her eyes a bit confused, as if she didn't understand how Kaguya had come here. While she was dazed, a sneaky hand suddenly appeared, like a snake, reaching under her ribs, and the familiar five fingers instantly grabbed a soft mass.
Kurome, feeling violated, immediately snapped back to reality. Her face flushed red, burning hot like a red apple, her face almost steaming.
"What's wrong, did you miss me?" Kaguya leaned closer, whispering softly into Kurome's ear. The warm breath brushed against Kurome's ear, causing her to shiver involuntarily.
The young beauty before her, her face as red as a peach blossom and shy demeanor, almost made Kaguya drool. Her heart felt as though it were being scratched by a kitten, itching, and her grip subconsciously tightened.
Indeed, a bashful young girl is the most adorable.
Just as Kaguya was about to take it a step further, Kurome's expression turned angry, and she opened her mouth, biting Kaguya's hand.
"Hey, why are you biting me?" Kaguya winced in pain, trying to withdraw her hand. "You're really biting, huh? I was just joking."
However, Kurome's small teeth clamped down on Kaguya's arm, refusing to let go, no matter how much Kaguya tried to pull away, as if glued to her.
"Hey, hey, are you a dog?" Kaguya grimaced in pain, shaking her arm vigorously, trying to shake Kurome off. But Kurome's head bobbed with Kaguya's movements, refusing to let go. Despite her small mouth and teeth, Kurome bit down hard enough to nearly bring tears to Kaguya's eyes.
Finally, Kaguya steeled herself, stretching her white arm out suddenly, grabbing Kurome's round little chest firmly.
With a cry of pain, Kurome finally released her bite. Kaguya quickly pulled her arm back, revealing two crescent-shaped teeth marks on her alabaster-like arm.
Meanwhile, Kurome was rubbing her chest with her hands, sucking in cold air through her red lips, her large black and white eyes glaring angrily at Kaguya, clearly showing Kaguya had squeezed a bit too hard.
As the two of them were playing around, a black shadow suddenly shot out from behind, like a black lightning bolt, aiming for Kurome's back.
Kurome was still rubbing her chest, completely unaware of the attack coming from behind. By the time she realized, it was already too late.
However, the shadow did not succeed. A figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere behind Kurome, waving casually, and the shadow was caught in that person's hand. The shadow then revealed its true identity: it was Champ's Teigu, Chaos Throw: Big Leaguer.
And that figure was, of course, Princess Kaguya.
"Ambushing someone is a disgraceful act, you know," Kaguya said with a playful smile, tossing the black ball in her hand.
"As long as you win, that's all that matters. Besides," Champ's clown-like face twisted into a grin, "you've been too careless. Explode."
Champ's Teigu had six spheres: the Storm Orb, the Explosive Orb, the Flame Orb, the Ice Orb, the Lightning Orb, and the Rot Orb, each with a different ability. The one Kaguya was holding was the Explosive Orb, which, as the name suggests, was capable of explosion.
As soon as Champ finished speaking, the black ball in Kaguya's hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and the temperature rapidly increased, seemingly about to explode in her hand.
At this moment, Kaguya's lips curled up in disdain. With a sharp grip of her white hand, there was a "bang," and the black ball shattered into pieces, scattering in the air.
Champ's Teigu had been so easily crushed by Kaguya.
"What?" Champ stared in shock at the shattered Explosive Orb, his face full of disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost. After all, the Explosive Orb was supposed to be a powerful Teigu with a strong resistance to destruction; otherwise, it would have shattered in its own explosion.
Yet, now, the supposedly indestructible Explosive Orb had been crushed.
"Ambushing isn't something a good child should do," Kaguya said as she walked over gracefully, her lips curling up. "But since you've become a filthy adult, I suppose it's normal."
Seemingly stung by Kaguya's words, Champ's body trembled, his clown-like face twisting with rage, his eyes widening, teeth grinding together audibly, fists clenching tightly, his face already contorted with ferocity.
As a member of the Wild Hounds, Champ had a twisted psyche. He particularly "enjoyed" children, calling them little angels, but loathed the thought of them growing into filthy adults. Thus, when he saw children, he would ultimately kill them brutally.
He even cruelly murdered Borus's adorable daughter, committing acts that were heinous beyond words.
However, seeing Champ's ferocious expression now that his sore spot had been hit, Kaguya felt a sense of satisfaction. The greatest harm to a person is not physical pain, but a deep mental blow. The feeling of toying with someone else's psyche was truly gratifying.
"What, are you angry?" Kaguya toyed with a lock of her silver hair, her lips curling up with a sneer. "Then come and kill me."
"Damn you," Champ's eyes filled with bloodlust. He threw five black spheres toward Kaguya.
Simultaneously, a figure suddenly appeared behind Kaguya, holding a sharp scimitar, swinging it fiercely at the back of Kaguya's head.
