That was the attacking stance of someone proficient in swordsmanship.

As the inheritor of [Hokushin Ittō-ryū], she had attained the level of full transmission, so she could tell that the newcomer's mastery of the sword was far from low.

Yae Sakura took a deep breath.

Her hand rested on the hilt, her thumb lightly braced against it.

It was a standard iaijutsu stance.

All it would take was one strike—

To directly cut down that pervert playing with Zerg.

The innocent, unblemished eyes of the little figure revealed that she had no idea what was being done to her.

"Wait, I can explain!"

Her finger had slipped in by itself; she really had not wanted this!

Raiden Mei tried to explain herself.

"Accept your punishment!"

A cold gleam left its sheath.

The blade flashed, and then—

"Crash!"

Chains of energy tightly wrapped around the katana, stopping it from moving forward.

At this moment, Theresa stopped arguing with her own Judah.

After all, if she did not intervene, Raiden Mei would become a one-armed heroine.

"Gulp."

The young lady felt that perilous chill.

A strand of hair drifted down before her eyes.

Though the blade had not touched her, it had still severed her hair.

"...Kallen?"

Yae Sakura stared at the familiar-looking chains, her eyes filled with surprise.

She turned and looked at the white-haired nun—

She looked alike, so very alike.

Other than her strange height, she resembled her by at least ninety percent.

It was practically as if—

She were the reincarnation of Kallen Kaslana.

After being sealed away, she had not known Kallen's fate. Yet from the utterly different sights she had seen before, she could tell that a very long time had definitely passed—

Long enough that an ordinary person could never have lived until now.

"Huh?"
