“What?”
It was now the Knight’s turn to be enraged. Kuro Usagi allowed her black hair to change to a light shade of red as she leaped into the skies to intimidate the Knights.
“Outrageous…….yes that’s right, it’s downright outrageous! To actually cause the [Moon Rabbit]: innocent, honest, upright, romantic and also the symbol of sacrifice that has been sung in praise to be angered to such an extent……!”
The surrounding air pressure was suddenly charged up to create a heaviness in the air and a power, causing them to experience difficulty in breathing, that assaulted the Knights. And the Knights were suddenly thrown into confusion as the pressure, exuded by Kuro Usagi, weighted down upon them.
And at the moment when Kuro Usagi had raised her right arm, a sharp screech that sounded like the ripping of the atmosphere itself was released and the boom of the explosion similar to thunder had filled the air while a long spear that sparked and shimmered like lightning was now held in her right hand.
Seeing that, the Knights faltered in their stance.
“A Gift that appears together with the sound of thunder……Could…Could that be Indra’s weapon?! Laius-sama did not disclose this information to us!”
“No…Impossible! How can a Divine weapon be possessed by one of the lowest Communities…?!”
“It can’t be the real thing! It must be a replica like ours!”
Kuro Usagi used a back hand grip on the spear that continued to spark with an electrical lightning charge as she said:
“If you cannot determine its authenticity with your eyes—Then use your bodies to experience the truth!”
As the surrounding air was expanded by the increased thermal energies, it gave off a thunderous boom while Kuro Usagi’s hair gave off a light similar to the rainbows from a prism as it slowly dyed over from a shade of red to blue.
Just as Kuro Usagi was about to launch the Indra’s spear into the air, Izayoi suddenly appeared behind her back.
“Oi!”
“Uwa!”
And used his strength to pull on Kuro Usagi's rabbit ears. As her hand slipped, the Indra’s spear had flown in a totally different direction accompanied by a thunderous explosion to strike the skies of Little Garden and release enough lightning and heat to illuminate the veil for many miles around.
“Calm down! Do you want to pick a fight with Shiroyasha?! Even though I've been controlling myself, you have been enjoying yourself without me? What is the meaning of this? Huh, tell me.”
“Uwa! Sorry! Is that the reason why you are angry?”
And Izayoi had been pulling at Kuro Usagi's ears with a rhythmic and strong force to get his point across.
“Itai! Itai neh! It’s really painful, Izayoi-san!”
That last part wasn't just simple strong tugs anymore, but Izayoi had simply lifted Kuro Usagi off the ground by the roots of the rabbit ears.
“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! It’s….It’s time for you to stop it already, Izayoi-san! Please be aware of the time to play around and the time that you shouldn't do this, okay?! Now, Kuro Usagi needs to let those rude guys have a taste of Divine punishment……”
“They have already gone back, you know?”
“Eh?! They ran a little too fast, didn't they?”
However, the hundred men strong squadron that had disappeared in a flash like smoke in the winds were unable to fool her eyes.
“No……This isn't right……Could it be that they are using some kind of invisibility Gift?”
“If the Community of [Perseus] is the same as the one that I know of, then it is without a doubt that that's the case…..But the world of Little Garden sure is wide, to actually have the existence of Flying Sandals and the Invisibility Helmet as well.”
Izayoi nodded his head in pensiveness as Kuro Usagi glared at him fiercely. Releasing his hold on her ears, Izayoi shook his head at her reaction. “I understand your feelings, but now isn't the best time to act. Though I don’t really mind, but if [No Name] were to have a dispute with [Thousand Eyes], that would be bad wouldn't it?”
“Well….That’s also true…”
“If you want to know more details on the trade, we can just follow the rules to find it out. There are others who are also clear about the situation right?”
Kuro Usagi seemed to have picked up on his meaning and realized with a start. Since it’s Shiroyasha who brought Leticia over, then she might just be in the loop about the business trade as well.
“Call the other guys over.”
“Eh? But…There’s still that thing that happened in the morning.”
“Then calling ochibi-sama and Ojou-sama over will do nicely. I’m getting a whiff of gunpowder in the air and the worst-case scenario would be the start of a Game on the spot. Since that’s a possibility, wouldn't it be better to bring a few more people along?”
—Forget it, even if that's the case, it would be enough with me alone.
Although that’s what Izayoi really thought in his mind, he wouldn't say that out loud. After all, he was a person who could read the situation around him. But that would only be his claim.
