Yukine was somewhat dissatisfied by Hii's disdainful words. Although he still had trouble accepting Yato, it was still unpleasant to be spoken of like that.
"Yora... you... You were the ones who gathered those Phantoms earlier, weren't you?!"
Yato ignored Hii's words and instead questioned her sternly. As for Hii... although she was Yato's younger sister and former Regalia, Yato utterly despised her.

Even the stray Regalia in his hand was only being used because he had only just awakened and had no other Regalia to wield.
"Yuki Vessel!"
Having no other choice, Yato extended his hand toward
