In the abandoned barn...
Dull thuds came from the construction site.
This was because the barn had fairly good soundproofing.
The muffled noise... only echoed outside the barn.
Of course.
If the commotion grew any louder, it might carry clearly inside.
The construction team's work continued to rumble.
Though loud outside, the sound was reduced several times over by the time it reached the barn.
Hyuga Sho stared at Tsunami, sensing her despair.
Tears flowed from her black eyes.
Shou Yunxiao was Hyuga Sho.
Sha Wusheng was also Hyuga Sho.
To her, these two identities were like nightmares.
Of course.
What made Tsunami even more heartbroken was...
Her son, Inari.
According to the White Devil, Hyuga Sho, all the villagers—including her son Inari and her father Tazuna—would lose their memories of Shou Yunxiao.
In other words...
This devil had toyed with everyone!
"Why are you doing this?!"
Tsunami desperately wanted to demand an answer.
But Hyuga Sho clamped a hand over her mouth, so she could not speak.
"Because the Land of Waves is a small place..."
Hyuga Sho spoke into Tsunami's ear, as if he had seen through her thoughts.
"Mmph~"
"In a small place, you won't attract so much attention..."
The scent of Tsunami's hair reached the tip of Hyuga Sho's nose.
"Then I can carry out my plan..."
Hyuga Sho's plan, of course, was to use the personalities he created to experience different "lives," master more abilities, and step into more possibilities.
"!!"
Tsunami's eyes widened, and her body began trembling even harder.
Hyuga Sho merely fell silent.
Then...
He quietly listened to the sounds of the construction team working outside.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
This was because Tazuna had built the "Hyuga Sho Bridge."
The bridge crossed the sea and connected directly to the Land of Fire.
