“Miss Uesugi, would you please carry Miss Kagami inside? Mr. Taihara, please deal with the aftermath.” Kotoka ordered.
However, Uesugi Rei turned around and walked towards Nioh with Lily in her arms. She put Lily on the back of the Nioh and then mounted the horse with a leap. She said, “Sister Lily, Lady Sakiko wants me to take you back.”
“Ah? Wait ...” Lily was stunned. At this moment she was placed horizontally on the horse with her hips facing Nanako and she couldn’t turn back to see everyone.
“Let’s go!” Uesugi Rei also ignored the surprised expression of the Saionji family and yanked the reins directly. The black horse reared and neighed!
“Boom!” With the thundering sounds of horse’s hooves, it turned into a black hurricane and ran toward the outside of Suruga city. In the blink of an eye, only a long string of smoke could be seen...
Nanako’s two crescent-shaped twintail blew in the wind. She stared blankly at the direction in which Uesugi Rei forcibly took Lily away. Although she was a little relieved in her heart, somehow she also felt a bit sour.
Lily was taken away by a mighty woman like Uesugi Rei, it should be safe. But was it really safe? And what did Uesugi Rei want? Why did she kiss her sister Lily as she pleased... Moreover, older sister Lily actually blushed and did not refuse completely. It was as if it wasn’t their first kiss...
Nanako showed a joyful smile for the rescue of Lily but her sparkling eyes shed tears.
At the foot of the gloomy, cold and boundless Mount Aoame.
“???????! ???????! ???????! Ah-! Ah-! Ah—!”
Hojo Dijon yelled at the sky: “That damned Kagami Lily made a Cursed Katana with the tamahagane! And she also shamelessly integrated the anima of Demon Hound into the sword!”
Dijon looked at a small gap in his huge tachi. This gap was not left when he fought against Uesugi Rei but when his sword collided with Lily’s blade!
It was even more noticeable than the tiny chink left by several exchanges with Uesugi Rei!
“Your Highness Ashikaga, come in and sit down.” Kotoka asked her retainers to greet him with an umbrella.
In the end, Kotoka and Ashikaga entered the room.
“Ah— you...”
“You...”
Shiu didn’t see Lily but she did meet Nanako.
“Hum!” The two were so touched to meet again after experiencing so many dangers but they seemed to have nothing to say and ignored each other.
Ashikaga was wearing a black eboshi cap and black clothes. He sat politely, took a sip of tea and said, “Thank you, Madam, for your hospitality.
Since Miss Kagami is not here, we’ll go back to Takesh*ta Town to find her. As for Lord Imagawa, I’ll send someone to preach. I will never make things difficult for the Saionji family again.”
Kotoka nodded: “Thank you so much, Your Highness. I will also go to Kamakura soon to pay proper gratitude to Your Highness again. By the way, Miss Shiu, these things are Miss Kagami’s luggage. Take them to her when you go back.”
“Miss Kagami’s?” Ashikaga’s clear and candid gaze became somewhat vague.
“You know, Miss Uesugi took her with her and went so fast that she didn’t even take those things with her.” Kotoka shook her head with a smile.
“Yes, thank you very much, Madam.” Shiu took over those things, including all kinds of clothes and some of Lily’s loot. After all, there were many underwear and astringent cloth in them which couldn’t be directly shown to Ashikaga.
“Mom, I’ll go too.” Nanako said.
“I know that you want to go but you mustn’t go. This battle has also severely damaged the Saionji family. How can you, the future heir of the Saionji family, leave at this time?” Kotoka said sternly.
“Uuu... I know...” Nanako agreed with a pout.
