"Whew... whew..."
Yuta Okkotsu steadied himself with his katana.
Before him, Ryu Ishigori and Takako Uro lay on the ground, both having lost the ability to fight.

The bedraggled Ryu Ishigori wore a satisfied grin.

And she was also extremely familiar with the name Sugawara no Michizane.
Back then, the Fujiwara Clan's greatest political enemy had been Sugawara no Michizane, and the clan had even assigned her to assassinate him.
So from her current standpoint,
