Witch

In Tsuna's room, Tatsuki shared her guess with Tsuna, Tsuna nodded in complete agreement.

"That's what I think too. This girl named Shinbashi Noel is clearly hiding a secret." Tsuna suggested, "Later, find an opportunity for you to stall Mom and Dad, and I'll talk to her alone."

"I understand, leave it to me."

The opportunity soon arrived. Sawada Iemitsu wanted to celebrate with some beer, but he didn't have any at home, so he decided to go to a nearby convenience store to buy some.

As the door closed, Tsuna and Tatsuki exchanged a glance. Tatsuki went to the kitchen to help Nana 'Nana Mom, slowing Mom down, while Tsuna walked towards Noelle was sitting on the sofa.

Shinbashi Noel looked up and saw Tsuna tilting his head in a gesture. Although he didn't say anything, Noelle understood that Tsuna wanted to talk to her alone.

In the study, Noelle, with the door closed, looked at Tsuna leaning against the desk. "What do you want?"

"I'll get straight to the point, what's your purpose in approaching my parents?" Tsuna asked, staring into Noelle's eyes.

"I don't understand what you're saying," Noelle, completely ignoring the question.

"Coincidences are something you can easily fool your Mom with, you don't actually think I'd believe it, do you?"

"Believe it or not, what difference does it make? Even if I have ulterior motives, do you have any proof?" Noelle said calmly and expressionlessly.

"Then can you tell me what that faint spiritual pressure fluctuation on your luggage is?"

Tsuna's words immediately changed Noelle's calm expression. Although she didn't understand what spiritual pressure was, she could sense the secret in the suitcase.

In any case, Noelle is just a newcomer who has just gained supernatural powers. She still has a long way to go before she can remain unfazed like some old coins.

"As expected, if you don't mind, could I check your guitar case?" Tsuna asked. He had already been eyeing the guitar case Noelle was carrying, and could sense faint spiritual pressure fluctuations emanating from it.

"I refuse..."

Just as Noelle was about to state her refusal, a strange spiritual pressure emanated from them, which Tsuna and Noelle sensed simultaneously.

Is it a Hollow? Tsuna was a little curious. He had no idea how long it had been since a Hollow dared to appear near his house. They were really not afraid of death.

It's a dragon! Noelle's body acted before her mind could process it; she flung open the door to the study and rushed towards her own room.

Noelle's strange behavior actually made Tsuna less anxious about dealing with the Hollow. As long as no one died, it was fine. Noelle had clearly sensed the Hollow's spiritual pressure, Tsuna wanted to see what she would do in such a hurry.

Back in her room, Noelle opened her violin case and took out a white piece of equipment with blue patterns. When held upright, it resembled a horn; when held backward, it resembled a gun.

After strapping the equipment to her ample right thigh, Noelle summoned something else from inside the violin case.

From the somewhat cheap guitar, a dragonfly-like monster, about the size of the guitar itself, flew out. It was long and slender, predominantly green, and had a pair of wings.

Opening the window, Noelle, like a witch in a fairy tale flying with a broom, mounted the newly appeared creature and flew directly out the window.

From the rooftop of the Sawada, Tsuna watched Noelle's flight unfold. Noelle's actions were indeed unexpected; the creature she was riding appeared to Tsuna to be a Hollow!

Can a girl control a Hollow? Tsuna suddenly became interested. With a flash of Fullbring Light, he leaped high into the air, using the dim sky to conceal his presence.

Standing higher and seeing further, Tsuna quickly spotted the Hollow's location. He slapped his forehead in exasperation; he hadn't expected that the person who had lured out the Hollow was actually his father, who had gone out to buy beer?

Could it be that Sawada Iemitsu hasn't appeared in Karakura Town for so long that the Hollow is finding Iemitsu's spiritual pressure novel?

It was a tall, humanoid Hollow chasing after Sawada Iemitsu. Tsuna didn't rush to help Iemitsu. His father's body, honed from years of working on construction sites, was still quite strong. Although he was running somewhat recklessly, his life wasn't in danger yet.

Sawada Iemitsu could clearly see the Hollow, and to avoid endangering passersby, Iemitsu was leading the Hollow to a secluded spot.

As he ran, Iemitsu forced himself to suppress his fear. The monster behind him was indeed beyond human strength to fight, so he could only flee for his life as he ran towards an empty area.

This wasn't the first time Sawada Iemitsu had encountered these monsters. He first met them in London, and after that, a new friend brought his daughter, who had become a witch, to their house as a neighbor. That person was Shinbashi Noel.

Since Noelle had just arrived in Japan and hadn't saved her new phone number in her phone yet, and Nana was unaware of the monsters, as were Nana, Tsuna, and Tatsuki, Iemitsu was even less likely that they would let their juniors be put in danger.

Now, Iemitsu can only hope that Noelle discovers he hasn't returned for so long and saves him before he dies.

Sawada Iemitsu was unaware of Noelle and the others' fighting principles. Noelle arrived faster than he had imagined, but Noelle Isshin getting there and hadn't paid attention to the situation by the roadside.

If nothing unexpected happens, the girl who can levitate and fly quickly will be making headlines in Karakura Town tomorrow.

It had to be Tsuna again. The little gadget Urahara gave him finally came in handy, allowing him to use his Shunpo to teleport to the witnesses multiple Flash Step and hypnotize and replace their memories.

Back to Sawada Iemitsu, bringing Utsuro to this deserted open space had exhausted all his strength. He lay sprawled on the ground, no longer having the strength to run.

Staring helplessly at this creature, even more ferocious and terrifying than the monsters of London, Sawada Iemitsu felt a sense of powerlessness. Was this his final resting place?

Just as Iemitsu was about to give up, several light projectiles struck Hollow's back. The Heat pain made Hollow immediately turn around, only to see Noelle firing her equipment at them.

Noelle looked rather grim. She had long heard that the dragons on the Japanese side were even more ferocious and terrifying, but she hadn't expected that her attacks would have no effect on them at all.

No, it did have some effect. The humanoid dragon shifted its attention from Iemitsu to Noelle. Facing the dragon's charge, Noelle quickly pulled herself up and dodged the dragon's punch.

"Fingertips, a piercing sound, John the Vindice's iron key, five locks and three chains surrounding the silence, the flute playing in pure darkness..."

Noelle chanted continuously, turning her weapon around and blowing it. A loud flute melody was played, and magic spread out from the flute, impacting the Hollow.

Like ripples hitting duckweed, the impact of the magic had no effect whatsoever; instead, it only enraged Xu's emotions.

Noelle frowned slightly. This was indeed a difficult situation. She wasn't a professional combatant, and having only recently become a witch, her magical abilities were limited. Why didn't the Japanese have a contingency plan for dealing with dragons?

This reflects the difference in management between the East Bureau and West Bureau. The East Bureau relies on Bleach to hunt down Hollows individually, while the West Bureau seals off the corresponding streets as soon as a Hollow appears and has a dedicated Tactical Squad eliminate it.

It is clear that the management system of the West Bureau is more mature, and its protection system for both combat personnel and ordinary residents is more comprehensive.

Leaving aside the long-term implications, from Noelle's perspective, she can only rely on herself; her other companion is too far away to offer any immediate assistance.

Fortunately, Sawada Iemitsu didn't hold them back. After Noelle drew the attention of the Voidwalker, he quickly got up and left the scene, leaving the battlefield entirely to Noelle.

Enraged by Noelle, the Hollow began launching a frenzied jumping attack on Noelle. Although it couldn't catch Noelle, it caused massive damage to the surrounding terrain.

In this critical moment, Noelle could only try, attempting to use an attack that she hadn't quite mastered.

Noelle, riding her "broomstick," glided quickly at low altitude, appearing in front of Hollow just before Hollow landed again.

Noelle raised her gun and aimed it at the void, magic gathering at the muzzle. "Magic #31! Blue Flash!"

The blue magic sphere struck the Hollow at close range, sending it flying backward. Noelle was also forced back a considerable distance by the explosion.

Was it successful?

Of course not. The Hollow's body was not destroyed by Spell #31. It slowly rose, only with a crack appearing on its Visored. As for Noelle, she was helpless.

The thirty-first spell she currently possesses is already Noelle's strongest technique; if she can't eliminate it, she'll have no choice but to flee.

Just as Hollow was preparing to launch another attack on Noelle, a crimson arrow fell from the sky, piercing Hollow's Visored and instantly destroying the Hollow that Noelle was fighting so hard.

Looking up in the direction from which the arrows had come, Noelle saw the culprit from a tall building. Although she couldn't make out the person's figure clearly, Noelle felt that she recognized them.

Who is it?

A flash of inspiration struck Noelle, and she remembered Sawada Tsunayoshi, with whom she had just spoken. It must be him! In Karakura Town, only Sawada Tsunayoshi had spoken with her about the magic power—no, the spiritual pressure—in the harp case.

"Noelle -chan, thank you so much, you saved my life again." Sawada Iemitsu emerged from the bushes to express his gratitude.

"No, it wasn't me. In a way, you saved yourself."

Noelle did not take credit for anything, nor did she say that it was Sawada Iemitsu who raised Sawada Tsunayoshi, which led to this scene of saving him.

Now, not only Sawada Tsunayoshi became interested in her, but Noelle also became interested in Sawada Tsunayoshi, who had saved her life.
