Something was wrong. There had to be a problem somewhere.
Gu Mo grimly swung the Living Weapon in his hand. The endlessly gleaming Snake Sword burst forth with dazzling brilliance, containing unimaginable might. Like a hot knife through beeswax, it could effortlessly cleave ordinary things in two with a single stroke. "Cutting through iron like mud" was no longer enough to describe it.
He had only wanted to catch a ride. How had he suddenly ended up involved in the private grudge between Yato and Bishamonten, fighting here with them...
Someone definitely had to be responsible for this!
Thinking that, he glanced back at Yato behind him. The other man bared his teeth and made pleading faces at him, while beside him stood the at-a-loss Iki Hiyori, a faint, translucent tail trailing behind her.
She was currently in her out-of-body state. She had probably left her physical body behind at that restaurant when she teleported over with Yato...
Who knew whether suddenly collapsing like that would cause some kind of commotion? But there was no time to worry about that now.
Gu Mo took a deep breath. At the very beginning, Bishamonten had immediately attacked, and Yato had decisively met her in battle. He was incredibly brave and good at fighting... but he had quickly fallen into a disadvantage. It was probably because Iki Hiyori, as a Regalia, had yet to develop the awareness and deeper understanding needed to be one.
After learning that their opponent was the famous god Bishamonten, she had already been unsettled. Coupled with the risks Yato had told her about, she was inevitably somewhat afraid. Of course, no one could blame her for that. There was no reason to expect a middle school girl to possess the composure and confidence of a battle-hardened warrior.
