「Ugh…」
「Looks like ya woke up . 」
「Wha?」
Juurokuya heard Leticia’s words and awoke with a jolt to look at her, but she couldn’t quite see the blond princess well . Her face seemed like a copy drawn by a close friend, like the air around her had withered in a way .
「I’m s,s,s,s, sorry! To faint in f,f,f,f,f, front of my princess…」
「Don’t worry ‘bout it . 」
「B,b,b,b,b, but…」
「Instead, start actin’ like that idiot out there . 」
「Ah…yes…seems like he’s causing problems . 」
Juurokuya was lost at first, but changed her tone after hearing Leticia’s request . It was a very respectful tone, but her manner didn’t change as she silently sighed to herself .
「Well, it ain’t exactly a problem . 」
「That’s fine then…」
「…」
「What are you looking at…hm . 」
「He really is a funny kinda guy . 」
「He picked up a motorcycle and is swinging it around?!」
Juurokuya followed Leticia’s line of vision . The scene she saw was enough to shock, and her composed manner suddenly crumbled .
Outside the opened power window, he could see the scene through the line of Leticia’s black-garbed soldiers .
There Taiyou had lifted a motorcycle and was easily swinging it around .
His strength and mass far exceeded a normal youth as he swing and confronted them effortlessly .
He attacked the women directly .
「Nooooooo way . 」


「Tone . 」
「…is this some kind of trick?」
「What is? …someone parked the thing there . 」
「I mean, it’s hard to suddenly believe this is happening . 」
「I’m used to him doin’ stuff like this . 」
「Used to it?」
Leticia nodded with a 「Yeah」and watched Taiyou continue his battle .

Taihyo had grabbed the seat and handlebars firmly, and now was swinging the motorcycle level with the ground . Four of the five women had backed off considerably, while the ninja Chie simply bounded over the swing, while the ninja prepared to strike with her kunai .
A flash of cold light .
The end of a sharp kunai scratched the end of Taiyou’s nose .
「Waaaaarrrgh!」
Taiyou was taken aback, but swung the motorbike at Chiyo vertically . Thwomp! The sound of a large weapon slapping against flesh echoed, and Chiyo was blown into the sky like a firework .
「Too slow!」
One of the four that had stepped back, Miyako spun and attempted to attack Taiyou’s back . She used the special weapon she always had prepared as she attacked his side with the end of a dull-shining fan .
Splisssh! Red blood danced in the air .
「How about this then?!」
Clunk! With power enough to shake the earth he slammed the motorbike into the earth, and several pieces broke off . As the motion of the motorbike stopped, he again swung it level at her and threw it .
「Agh!」
Just before it hit Miyako, it seemed that she parried to the side fast enough, but the huge weapon instead slammed into her left lower side .
In addition to her attempt at springing away, the motorcycle’s force blew her to the side .
「Miyako! Ugh!」
Chie groaned loudly .
Chiyo recovered from the hit with three flips fit for a gymnast and landed, but then was hit by Miyako bouncing from the hit and both rolled to a stop .
They both somehow stood and came to their senses, and saw Taiyou glaring at them .

「This is a scene unthinkable! For him to be hiding such power!」
「Even though he’s talented, I think Shirokiyami is stronger . 」
「The Snow-white Death-Goddess?」
「Yeah . 」
「Perhaps so, but I haven’t had the chance to see her yet . What you can’t see, you can’t experience . 」
「I see . 」
Satisfied by that remark, Leticia stuck her chin out a bit .
A human that has more speed than humans, a human that can swing a weapon with more power than human . If it was enough to shock others, then it was evident that he had more power than her .
Taiyou was burning with strength before their eyes . He stopped the attacks of the jumping girls, and beat them with the motorcycle before they could run away .
He style was taking damage and then beating them up when he was attacked .
「He hits ‘em back with 10, no 100 times…no, more than 1000 times the strength . 」
Leticia whispered this in awe . She couldn’t believe her eyes .
He was cut in the side, and then beat her back with a motorcycle weighing over several hundred pounds .
He was stabbed in the back, and then beat her back with a motorcycle weighing over several hundred pounds .
They attempted to choke him, and then beat her back with a motorcycle weighing over several hundred pounds .
Simply put it was a clear-cut fight, and it clearly wasn’t one where you used wits .
Taiyou absorbed attacks, so his clothes were shredded and he was covered in blood .
However, the women had taken far more damage than him .
After he tossed the motorcycle as an attack, its size was broken to about half what it was before . As it was trashed, the women were trashed more and more as well .
Chiyo and Miyako had been the advance fighters that attacked at close quarters, but were now on their knees while the other three were panting and injured as well .
The scene seemed as if Taiyou had gone too far in attacking them .
「Dreadful, when fighting women, you should be a little gentler with them . 」
「It’s the opposite, those are mistresses of Saegusa Tsukumo, right? It’s a mistake tryin’ to be nice to women willin’ to risk all for their guy . 」
「Do you think that’s true?」
「Don’t ya understand?」
「Hmph, there’s no way to understand it…do you think the soldiers understand that?」
「…I wonder . 」
Leticia gave an ambivalent answer, and changed the subject .
「Well, this guy hasn’t thought this far . 」
「What does that mean?」
「In order to save the girl he likes, He hasta hurt a bunch of other girls . That’s about it . 」
「Girl he likes? Y,y,y,y,you mean Youran?」
She didn’t act this time, but just returned to her normal tone .
「No, not that…well . 」
「Huh?」
「Nah, nothin’…」
Leticia kept quiet about what she was going to say .

She could feel what Taiyou must have felt holding Youran, but at this time, probably, Leticia had taken a step towards him falling for her as well .
That may happen first, however, it hasn’t happened yet .
That’s fine though . The problem is how Youran will feel .
Leticia had come along out of curiosity, wondering if it was real, but she couldn’t determine .
(That girl’s dumb, after all…)
It may have been that she gave over herself for a guy she didn’t like, Leticia thought that it definitely was possible .

She could see that the women were even more beaten up now . Honoka was spread out on the ground, while Chie, who wasn’t used to the close-quarters battle, let her powerless arms hang by her side . Miyako had blood flowing from her forehead, and even under her black ninja clothes you could see Chiyo’s knees shaking .
On the other side, Taiyou’s bike continued to break down, and now all that was left was a third of it…just handlebars and a front wheel .
The damage the motorcycle took was the same at the women around him .
Even though they were continually beaten up, not one of them had lost the will to fight .
On the other hand, Taiyou was the same . It seemed he was even more willing to fight than when he started .
From looking at his face, especially his eyes and mouth, one might think Taiyou looked like a reasonable and well-mannered youth, but now he looked overwhelmed with violence .
「Not good . 」
「What do you mean?」
Juurokuya heard Leticia’s whisper and asked what she meant, but there was no answer .
Leticia began to feel that she misjudged Taiyou for what he really was .
She didn’t know much about him, but when talking about Youran, she thought that their agreement on what their purpose was and methods to do it made them seem close .
Also, the fact that she thought it would be okay to send him out to fight, it turned out not to be okay at all .
(He could have killed me with his strength . He could have fooled me, cuz they say 「A guy with warm lips has a warm heart . 」)
Leticia curse her father in her heart .
Why she was thinking about this, the battle was continuing to its conclusion .
The five women were being knocked down and slumping, until all of them couldn’t stand…there was no way for them to fight .
Even so, the fighting spirit never left their eyes .
Taiyou and Leticia met eyes . Eyes with blood flowing around them – Leticia felt a chill .
「How many of ya can fight?」
She asked her soldiers, and the leader replied .
「Around 20 men . 」
「I’m gonna be fine, just stop that man . 」
「As you wish . 」
As Leticia ordered, everyone but the smallest guard remained, as the soldiers went out to face Taiyou .
His blood-stained eyes turned to her . They were eyes that made Leticia shudder .
「Waaaaait . 」
The person calling out for everyone to stop appeared .
White hair and skin with a black dress, a slim girl…but with professional wrestling mask over her face .
「…need me to call an ambulance?」
Taiyou changed suddenly to a look of amazement at this girl .
