Icebound Firmament?
At the mention of that name, someone appeared.
It was Esdeath, who had come with Uchiha Kazama.
"You know where Icebound Firmament is?!"
Esdeath asked immediately.
"No, I know where Blazing Flame is."
Shira looked at Esdeath, who had suddenly appeared.

"Can you guarantee that all your subordinates will obey you?!"
Uchiha Kazama changed the subject.
This time, Esdeath's presence was more powerful than before.
He had initially thought Esdeath had undergone some special training during that time.
He hadn't
