"I said, Shana, how come you run so fast? I can't catch up with you."

Lin Yu had a bright, almost exaggerated smile on his face, his mouth stretching almost to his ears. The reason was quite simple: it was just for the slightly blushing kimono-clad loli in front of him.

"clothing!"

Rarely seeing Lin Yu's expression, she didn't immediately throw a punch. As if she had nothing to lose, Shana shouted loudly at Lin Yu.

"what? What?"

Lin Yu is currently in a state of high excitement. No matter what happens, he'll probably be happy for half a day. He's practically ready to take a megaphone and go out into the street demanding drinks.

"A kimono! A kimono! Shana-chan's kimono!"

Lin Yu's mind was filled with these thoughts. Don't think it's shameful that Lin Yu is so happy because Shana is wearing a kimono. You have to remember that this is Shana!

What's Shana's personality like? She's a tsundere!

What could possibly happen if a tsundere (initially arrogant or haughty) person willingly puts on a kimono and waits for him to go out together, unless their affection level is high enough?

Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder Lin Yu was so excited that he didn't even hear what Xia Na said.

I was asking if your clothes look good!

Shana glared at Lin Yu in her uniquely arrogant way, as if she were threatening him. Her somewhat clumsy appearance instantly raised her already off-the-charts cuteness level even higher.

"So beautiful! So beautiful! So beautiful!"

Lin Yu nodded faster than he was pounding garlic, almost leaving a blur. His rare attitude pleased Xia Na for once.

"Let's go!"

In a cheerful mood, Shana grabbed Lin Yu's hand and ran outside, completely forgetting about Chigusa who had helped her get dressed.

Lin Yu, who had been brought back to his senses by the commotion, turned to look at Qian Cao at the door with a wry smile. Qian Cao gave him a thumbs-up, clearly doing her best to create opportunities for Lin Yu.

Lin Yu looked at the two little ones dozing on his shoulders with a rare look of gratitude. Where could he find such good guardians? They were practically a godsend!

The two, in extremely high spirits, walked down the bustling street, their smiles never fading. Even the usually stern Shana had an adorable smile on her face. Looking at that little face, Lin Yu felt he could devour a whole bucket of white rice. As the saying goes, beauty is food for the eyes, and what could be more appetizing than a little girl's smiling face? It was so sweet it warmed his heart!

The two people, who were snuggling together, did not notice that not far from them, a jealous gaze was fixed on them.

"why."

Yoshida Kazumi's innocent face twisted in pain, and the small bag she was holding was unconsciously squeezed into a ball.

"Why did you reject my invitation and stay with her instead?!"

Thoughts that shouldn't have arisen sprouted up like mushrooms after rain...

--------

"Operation begins!"

Somewhere in the city, a slightly mad voice gave the order, and countless pale blue stripes unique to the Free Law shot into the sky. Lin Yu and Xia Na, who were snuggled together, raised their heads at the same time.

"I'm going to tear that bastard who laid down the law of freedom to shreds!"

Lin Yu said through gritted teeth, "This wonderful time for the two of us has been completely ruined (this guy has completely ignored the presence of passersby)." Even as an outsider, he knew from the sky full of magical runes that this was no joke.

"What's going on? There's been no sign of anything at all."

Shana frowned in confusion. She was just as displeased as Lin Yu, but as a Flame Haze warrior, she was inevitably more concerned about the Freedom of Magic.

"No matter what, let's go to that new Flame Haze first. Maybe the situation here is related to him."

Lin Yu and Xia Na exchanged a glance and made a decision. They couldn't figure out the specifics of such a powerful technique in a short time, so they decided to eliminate the uncertainties first.

The two quickly arrived at the unknown Flame Haze warrior, who was not far away.

"Ah, it's Alastor!"

After climbing a long flight of stairs, a strange Flame Haze warrior appeared before Lin Yu and Shana, who hadn't sensed any movement. He was a young man who looked about the same age as Shana, but possessed the calm and composed demeanor of a middle-aged man.

"'The Ritual Driver' Kamsin Nafhavi and 'The Unyielding Peak' Bishimot, it's you two!"

To Lin Yu's surprise, the other party was actually acquainted with Alastor, and judging from their tone, they didn't seem like enemies at all.

"Long time no see, 'Cataclysmic Flames'."

On young Kamsin's wrist, a bracelet resembling the style of ancient Egypt greeted him with the tone of someone treating an old friend.

"Were you also drawn here by this law of freedom? If this continues, the city will be swallowed up by a distortion so severe that it cannot be repaired."

Looking up at the enormous Free Law in the sky, Kamsin described the seriousness of the situation, but his calm tone made it difficult for anyone to be alarmed.

"What exactly is the reason for doing this? Is there a solution?"

Upon hearing Alastor's words, Lin Yu lowered his guard. Now that Alastor was asking for a solution, why should he be wary?

"Ah, all that's needed is to start tuning. The necessary markings have been done. All that's left is an assistant who can visualize the city's normal state."

Not only did he speak in a calm tone, but Kamsin had also found a solution before Lin Yu and the others were even completely confused, which made him, who considered himself a strategist, feel a little ashamed. However, he felt better about it because everyone has their own area of ​​expertise.

"Actually, I already had someone in mind, but there was a slight mishap. It was a young girl named Yoshida Kazumi."

Bishimot added a sentence for his contractor, which resulted in Shana and Lin Yu both opening their mouths in surprise.

"Do you know them?"

Kamsin was somewhat surprised, as he hadn't expected that the helper he found in such a large city would be related to the Flame Haze. However, he quickly came to terms with it.

"So the aura she carries is from you all. As long as she arrives, the tuning can begin immediately."

Whether it was due to his personality or something else, Kamsin didn't panic at all, even though his assistant had made a mistake. He didn't even seem to have any emotional fluctuations.

"Let's go and bring her here."

Lin Yu, finding a rare opportunity to interject, readily agreed, patting his chest. Shana, even more direct, untied the ribbon binding her long hair, letting her beautiful hair flutter gently in the breeze. The two joined hands and set off together to find Yoshida Kazumi.

Somewhere in the city, with the issuance of yet another order, the sculptures used for the celebration seemed to come alive, flying around in all directions. These phosphorus-like beings, though weak, began to launch a relentless and annoying attack on their surroundings.

One of them swooped down in mid-air towards Yoshida Kazumi, who was calming herself down by the roadside.

"what!"

Yoshida Kazumi let out a helpless scream. Just as Rinko was about to launch her attack, a petite figure wielding a slender longsword blocked her way...

As the saying goes, once you start, you'll start again. Now that we have two stewards, shouldn't we celebrate with some rewards? It would be even better if the generous folks could reward us with a captainship! ^_^

[As is customary, please add to your favorites and recommend!]

047. A great battle is about to begin.

With her brilliant, fiery red hair swaying in the wind, Shana's petite figure, holding a katana, stood in front of Yoshida Kazumi, yet her back view appeared exceptionally reliable.

"Shana?"

The phosphorescent particles that were originally aimed at her were easily transformed into phosphorescent flames and scattered everywhere under Shana's blade.

"Yoshida-kun, are you alright?"

Just as Yoshida Kazumi was still somewhat shaken, an unexpected voice suddenly rang out beside her.

"Xiaoyu, why?"

The words slipped out unconsciously, and Yoshida Kazumi quickly covered her mouth, her expression somewhat strange. Lin Yu frowned but attributed it to being frightened.

No matter how smart Ren Linyu was, he would never have imagined that even the 'Spiral Organ' had said that the Seven Sins possessed great power, and that they would actually attack a little girl who was just an ordinary person. The invisible flames that enveloped Yoshida Kazumi were so powerful that even Shana, who had been affected before, could not be detected at close range.

"Xiaoyu and Shana, are you also...?"

Yoshida Kazumi struggled to control her emotions, asking what seemed like the most appropriate question for the moment, though her true thoughts were on something entirely different: 'Why are only Koyu and her special cases?'

Not reconciled!

An intense sense of resentment welled up from the depths of her heart almost uncontrollably. Under the influence of the Seven Sins' power, Yoshida Kazumi, who did not possess Shana's astonishing strength, was simply unable to resist.

"Yes, Shana is also a Flame Haze. Although my situation is a bit different, it's pretty much the same."

Lin Yu scratched his face in annoyance. He really didn't know what to do with a gentle girl like Yoshida Kazumi. He had always tried to keep his distance, but he never expected that a Flame Haze warrior would suddenly drag her into this bottomless circle.

"If only Shana weren't here..."

Almost completely ignoring Lin Yu's words, Yoshida Kazumi's mind was almost entirely occupied by this thought. The original sin of jealousy was like a dark swamp that completely swallowed her originally pure heart.

"Your help is needed to fix this city's distortions."

Seeing Lin Yu's predicament, Xia Na, though somewhat displeased, still played the role of the stern face.

"Well, I see."

The expected difficulties did not materialize. Yoshida Kazumi's innocent smile appeared on her pure face as always. However, neither Lin Yu nor Shana noticed that her smile contained a certain emotion that she had never felt before.

"Phew, I was worried you wouldn't agree. Let's go then!"

Lin Yu smiled and walked to Shana's side, taking one of her hands. Shana, understanding the gesture, also took Yoshida Kazumi's arm.

"Huh?"

Before she could even figure out what was going on, Yoshida Kazumi let out a gasp in surprise. Shana had already unfurled her Crimson Lotus Wings and was flying through the air with Lin Yu and Yoshida Kazumi.

Using Shana's Crimson Wings to travel, the three quickly returned to Kamsin's side, only to find that someone had gotten there a step faster.

"Ah, here it comes! You're pretty fast!"

Even a blind man could guess that the person who arrived first was Marjorie Dol, the eulogy singer, given Marcosius's distinctively harsh voice.

"Although I don't quite understand Western concepts, isn't your outfit a bit too revealing?"

Lin Yu's lips twitched slightly. Margery Daw had probably been strolling around the festival just like Lin Yu and Shana, and was also wearing a Japanese kimono. The question was, why would someone wearing a conservative kimono be dressed so revealingly?

Lin Yu, who is still a pure and innocent virgin at heart, didn't know where to look when faced with Margery Do's amazing figure.

"Xiaoyu, you're not allowed to look!"

Margery Dawson hadn't said anything yet, but Shana stood seriously in front of Lin Yu, staring at him intently. It seemed like... she was jealous?

Rarely seeing Shana in a different light, Lin Yu, somewhat carried away, ruffled the head of the little loli who barely reached his chest. After experiencing the smug feeling, his reckless behavior resulted in a full-blown brawl on the spot. Putting aside whether he could win or not, Lin Yu certainly dared not resist.

The two acted as if no one else was watching, completely ignoring the other three onlookers. Margery Daw was already used to it, Kamsin was somewhat curious, and Yoshida Kazumi...

The invisible flames burning on her body grew even stronger, but strangely, she was no different from usual at this moment, and even watched Lin Yu and Xia Na playfully fighting with a smile on her face, as if she had already let go of the past.

"Cough cough."
