"Yes, since you want to understand our situation, then let's do this." The girl nodded, a faint smile appearing on her lips. Utahime Iori swallowed, her heart pounding as an ominous premonition rose within her.
"Y-You... what are you planning to do?"
"I'm taking you to meet our master." The girl's smile was clean and pure, yet to Utahime, it looked like the grin of a demon.

Top-Secret Base
Contrary to Utahime's expectations, she had thought the girl would take her to the outskirts of Kyoto. It was far from modern society, with fewer electronic devices, making it harder to be discovered. Yet the girl had actually brought Utahime to the upper district.
