"I can't... find him... nowhere..." she began, her voice hoarse and broken, "Chosuke... where are you...?"
Then her tone suddenly escalated, filled with wrath and madness as if she'd been fooled: "Was it you... was it you who hid Chosuke?!"
The howling of dogs echoed sharply through the night, as the aura of resentment around Fei Nv Room boiled over. The cold gaze, filled with death and hatred, felt like a tangible shackle, binding Ashiya Dōman to the spot.
This isn't what was supposed to happen!
Fei Nv Room hadn't exhausted herself in pursuit of the elusive Chosuke but instead… following some kind of link, found her way here, found Ashiya Dōman, the "caster."
"Roar—!"
A non-human shriek erupted!
Fei Nv Room, carrying the half-conscious Chosuke on her back, leaped forward, trailing a fishy wind and bone-chilling cold, rushing straight at Ashiya Dōman!
So fast that only a twisted afterimage was left in the air!
"Damn it!"
