Chapter 224
——
When Ikki saw the letter, he immediately called out to Saikyo Neine and Shinguji Kuroko.
The two immediately investigated the hotel's surveillance system.
It was discovered that Luo Mio and Ikki had not come out of the house since they entered that night.
Upon witnessing this scene, Saikyo Neine and Shinguji Kuroko also had a thought.
During her battle with "Superman" Abraham, Luo Mio summoned the Void Fissures and the Void Space.
The reason why the surveillance cameras didn't capture Luo Mio's image is probably because of this.
Of course, Saikyo Neine and Shinguji Kuroko only told "Fighting God" Nangou Torajiro about this, and did not tell anyone else, not even Touka and Ikki.
When Touka found out, he panicked for a moment, but then calmed down.
However, as time went by, there was still no trace or news of Luo Mio, as if Toudo Touka had disappeared from this world.
As Luo Mio's close friend, Ikki also made a long-awaited phone call to his father, "Iron-Blooded" Kurogane Gen, and mobilized the power of the Kurogane family.
Similarly, Stella called out to her father, King of the Vermillion Kingdom, Sirius Vermillion.
Even Saikyo Neine used her privileges in the "League" to search the entire world.
Not only them, but also the high-ranking members of the "Rebel Army" and the "Alliance" were paying attention to Luo Mio's movements.
Luo Mio's sudden disappearance also caught their attention.
But without exception, the final result was still that there was no trace of Luo Mio.
At last...
The time has finally come for the "Seven Stars Sword Dance Festival" to begin.
But Luo Mio did not appear as described in the letter.
Even now, as Luo Mio's third match begins... she is still nowhere to be seen.
"Clang."
The sound of the door opening rang out.
Everyone's eyes followed.
Then, Saikyo Neine Shinguji Kuroko walked in.
Kanata then asked Shinguji Kuroko, "Chairperson, is there any news about Miohua?"
Shinguji Kuroko also shook her head.
Saikyo Neine, who was also hot-tempered, lay down on the sofa opposite Ikki and said in a low voice with a fierce tone.
"That brat... don't let me catch him."
Seeing their reactions, everyone knew the outcome.
"Ding ding ding!"
The bell rang.
Shinguji Kuroko took out her phone and paused slightly when she saw the name on the caller ID.
"Little Black?"
Noticing Shinguji Kuroko's silence, Saikyo Neine also turned around and looked over.
"Nothing..."
Shinguji Kuroko showed the name of the person who sent the telegram to Saikyo Neine.
Upon seeing the name, Saikyo Neine's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Why is that old man calling at this hour?"
The caller's name was— Tsukikage Makuya.
Their relationship with Tsukikage Makuya isn't exactly good or bad right now; it's just that their respective positions have put them on opposite sides.
With a soft sigh, Shinguji Kuroko answered the phone.
"Hello, this is Takizawa."
"..."
"..."
They remained silent for a while.
"Huh...?"
A soft whisper escaped Shinguji Kuroko's lips, her eyes widening in disbelief.
"What did you say..."
"Kuro?" Sensing the unusual tone in Shinguji Kuroko's voice, Saikyo Neine asked her, "What's wrong?"
Shinguji Kuroko did not rush to answer Saikyo Neine's reply.
"Okay... I understand." Shinguji Kuroko said softly, her voice trembling slightly, to Tsukikage Makuya.
Then hang up the phone.
Looking at the phone, Shinguji Kuroko slowly raised her head and looked at everyone in the room.
"... We have news about Miohua!"
Null
"..."
The entire elevator was completely silent; not a sound could be heard.
Only faint breathing sounds could be heard.
"——"
With a slight tremor, the group took the elevator to the top floor of the hotel.
"... Is there really Little Mio?" Touka asked, his tone slightly anxious.
Faced with Touka's question, Shinguji Kuroko, who was walking ahead, also showed a helpless smile.
"You could clearly tell whether what I'm saying is true or not with your 'Lightning Eye'."
Hearing Shinguji Kuroko's teasing, Touka lowered his head and said apologetically.
"Feel sorry..."
Upon seeing Touka, Shinguji Kuroko also spoke.
"Don't worry, Tsukikage Makuya used to be my teacher. Although we are now on opposite sides, I believe he won't say anything he's not sure of."
"Since he said he had news about that kid, Miohua, then the news must be true."
"Well..." Saikyo Neine walked beside Shinguji Kuroko.
"Only by meeting in person can we know if the news is true."
Kanata, standing next to Touka, also reached out and grasped Touka's hand.
On the other side of Touka, Ikki also reached out and patted Touka on the shoulder.
I let out a soft breath and calmed myself down.
Then, following in the footsteps of Shinguji Kuroko and Saikyo Neine, everyone arrived at a luxurious room at the far end of the hotel's top floor.
The group of people who arrived in front of the room also stopped in their tracks.
Shinguji Kuroko walked forward and gently knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
Then the sound of Tsukikage Makuya came from it.
After the door opened, Shinguji Kuroko and Saikyo Neine were the first to go inside.
Then, Touka, Ikki, Stella, and the others behind him also walked into the room one after another.
Upon entering, the first thing you see is Tsukikage Makuya sitting on a luxurious leather sofa.
Saikyo Neine looked at Tsukikage Makuya went straight to the point, saying in a completely impolite tone, "Old man, you said you know about Miohua's news, is that true?"
Shinguji Kuroko, Touka, and their group also looked at Tsukikage Makuya with serious expressions.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Tsukikage Makuya also revealed a helpless smile.
"Don't rush..."
"What do you mean, 'Don't rush'?" Before he could finish speaking, Saikyo Neine interrupted Tsukikage Makuya and said to him, "Speak quickly."
Faced with the impatient Saikyo Neine, Tsukikage Makuya also revealed an amused smile, shook his head, and glanced around at Saikyo Neine, Stella Shinguji Kuroko, and the group of Touka, Ikki, Stella and others beside them.
"She will tell you about Toudo Touka."
After saying that, Tsukikage Makuya pointed to the window outside.
Everyone looked in the direction that Tsukikage Makuya was pointing.
A woman with long, beautiful, silvery-white hair, as white as fresh snow, leaned against the balcony railing, gazing at the scenery outside.
Noticing the gazes of the crowd, the silver-haired figure turned around, his silver-gray eyes quietly watching them.
"!"
Upon seeing the silver-haired figure's face, Shinguji Kuroko and Saikyo Neine also showed expressions of shock.
Shinguji Kuroko looked at her, her eyes serious, and said, "Didn't you already return to Edelberg?! Why are you here?"
Edelberg...
Hearing Shinguji Kuroko's words and seeing the solemn expressions on Saikyo Neine.
Ikki Touka, who were standing beside him, also showed expressions of surprise.
Upon seeing the beautiful silver-haired figure before them, Ikki and Touka, being swordsmen, immediately recognized the woman.
"The World's Most Evil Criminal" and also "the World's Strongest Swordsman" - "Twin Wings" Edelweiss!
With Edelweiss's appearance, Ikki and Touka also guessed something.
In the entire world, apart from the ocean, there is only one place that has never been searched.
"Twin Wings" refers to the place where Edelweiss lived.
Like a sharp sword piercing the sky—"Edelberg"!
Thinking of this, a hint of excitement appeared in Touka's chestnut-gold eyes.
Edelweiss glanced around at everyone, then looked at Shinguji Kuroko and shrugged helplessly.
"It wasn't my choice to come; I was dragged here by someone."
Huh?
Faced with Edelweiss's words, Shinguji Kuroko and Saikyo Neine also expressed their doubts.
Looking at Edelweiss, Ikki suddenly spoke.
"Miss Edelweiss, were you spying on us when we were walking back to the hotel with Miohua?"
"Yes." Edelweiss said to Ikki without hiding anything.
"Huh?" Stella and Shizuku, who were standing next to Ikki, also looked surprised.
"Then, since Miss Edelweiss came here, could it be that there is any trace of Little Mio... Toudo Touka?"
Touka looked at Edelweiss and asked her directly.
His chestnut-gold eyes looked at Edelweiss with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.
Only.
No, I don't know.
When asked by Touka, Edelweiss simply shook his head and said in a calm tone.
