Tohka could only keep dodging with Shiori in tow.
"What are you... talking about? Shido and Tohka are the ones... Why would you... do something so cruel to our big sister?"
"Exactly! You're the ones in the wrong! Looks like we'll have to make you suffer a little before you learn your lesson!"
"Hehe... Shido seems to be saying something utterly ridiculous, Yuzuru."
"Astonishment. Do they have no conscience?"
Yoshino and Yoshino, along with Kaguya and Yuzuru, spoke up one after another.
Although their personalities and memories hadn't changed at all, someone named "Miku Izayoi" now occupied the highest place in their hearts.
"What am I supposed to do now...?"
Shiori clenched his fists in despair.
Now even Kotori had become Miku's captive.
In other words, Shiori and Tohka had to face several thousand spectators, Miku, and the controlled Spirits all by themselves.
Shiori frowned as he surveyed the enemies below.
But when his gaze landed on Lingmeng, he suddenly froze.
The reason was simple: Lingmeng seemed to be holding back laughter as she looked up at him with a smile.
He had no idea why she was making that face.
But if he had to explain it, given the current situation...
She was probably smiling because she would get to see the people who defied her "big sister" punished, right?
Shiori couldn't think of any other reasonable explanation.
Tohka naturally understood how difficult this battle would be, too.
She clicked her tongue softly and left Shiori standing there alone.
She leaped into the air, summoning her Angel, Sandalphon, as she descended.
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaah...!"
Tohka gripped the hilt with both hands and swung forward with all her strength, shouting.
A blue blade of energy burst from Sandalphon and shot toward Yoshino and the Yamai Sisters.
But those three weren't her targets.
