Byakuran had just stepped forward, intending to finish off Mukuro Rokudo before him.
Byakuran reached out a hand, ready to seize Mukuro Rokudo by the throat.
But the next second, there was a sharp swish.
Byakuran's hand was severed at the wrist and fell to the ground.
The wound clearly bore the marks of a blade.
Kato Megumi stood there expressionlessly, yet Byakuran could not see her. The person who had cut him was right in front of him.
Byakuran froze for a moment before realizing his hand was gone.
His composed expression, the one that showed how little regard he had for others, instantly shattered.
He quickly retreated, scooping up his severed hand from the ground as he warily looked around.
"Who is it?"
Hearing the sound of potato chips being crunched, Byakuran abruptly turned around and looked toward the sofa where he had been sitting.
He still could not see anything.
In reality, a little girl identical to Kato Megumi was sitting on the sofa.
The child looked as though she had been molded from the same cast as Kato Megumi. Expressionless, with a bob haircut and a white beret on her head, she swung her little legs from the sofa while munching on potato chips.
Those chips were the very ones Byakuran had been eating earlier.
Kato Megumi finally revealed herself, lifting the concealment around her presence and appearing before Byakuran.
Byakuran swiftly turned his head and finally saw Kato Megumi.
"I've heard that the Vongola Family's Mist Guardian is actually made up of two people."
"Mukuro Rokudo is the one who often appears before the public."
"The other has never appeared before the world. In truth, everyone who has seen her has died, so no one knows who she really is, nor do they know why..."
