Shinji Ikari, the pilot of Unit-01 during the Spirit Awakening Era

"Have a bite, this is some pastry I just made. If it's convenient, could you give one to Mimori and Ms. Himuro Kirie?" Tsukasa Eishi smiled as he handed one portion of the meal to Shinji Ikari, then put the other two portions into a small insulated box and handed them to Shinji.

"This bite..." Shinji Ikari's eyes glazed over... He seemed to be in a field, surrounded by endless golden wheat fields. When the breeze blew, the wheat waves rolled, releasing a sweet fragrance, and he could hear the mooing of several cows by the river...

"Phew... You're amazing!" Shinji Ikari took a few deep breaths to regain his composure. Tsukasa Eishi's specialty was that you couldn't taste any other flavors in his dishes. He simply brought out the natural flavor of the ingredients to the extreme. Although it was just a very simple milk cake, the taste really amazed Shinji.

Tsukasa Eishi's cooking skills are already on par with those of top chefs! No wonder he's the only man that Yukihira in the future has never defeated.

"You flatter me too much. Normally, Mimori should have finished her training. If it's not enough, I'll prepare something else for her." Tsukasa Eishi bowed slightly, then laid out several portions for the girls from the Onmyōryō and Isayama Mei to take.

"Are you used to it?" Shinji Ikari stopped and asked Toguro's younger brother, who was sweeping the floor, after taking a few steps.

"Are you here to train today?" Toguro glanced at Shinji Ikari. This guy was getting stronger rapidly. Although he wasn't as fast as Himuro Mimori, his improvement was already terrifying enough.

"No, I'm here to ask for help!" Shinji Ikari said irritably. He had already sparred with Toguro's younger brother. Without further breakthroughs, he didn't have much of a chance of winning. However, occasionally getting beaten up was a good way to understand how much room for improvement he still had.

"What happened?" Toguro paused, turned to look at Shinji Ikari. Shinji had given him a reason to continue living. He had indeed gone down the wrong path in pursuit of power, and in the very end, he even longed for death to end his life!

However, Shinji Ikari's suggestion gave him that he had other ways to atone for his sins. He could serve as a whetstone for the swords that future humans would use to slay demons and monsters! Recently, the younger generation of the Onmyo Bureau, the Countermeasures Bureau, and the Jujutsu Masters had all come to him. He didn't stand on ceremony and basically started with 50% of his power, then gave these young people a good lesson called "The Vastness of Heaven and Earth".

This situation was almost the first time these young people had witnessed the power of truly high-level experts, and how powerless they were in the face of such power. As a result, most of them clarified their goals and began to move towards higher levels.

"The real trouble is beyond your imagination. It's an S-class problem. They came to my sister for help. If I get knocked out of here, remember to drag me out too." Shinji Ikari said with a wry smile. He was somewhat surprised by Toguro's willingness to help, but this was not a problem that could be solved with fists. After all, the guy from Mount Hikawa hadn't really hurt Shinji. It didn't seem appropriate to just team up and go for a kill.

"Miss Kirie hasn't been in a good mood these past few days," Toguro said quietly. He didn't want to enter the Underworld guarded by Himuro Kirie today either.

"I mean... well, it's a blessing in disguise, wish me luck." Shinji Ikari said somewhat speechlessly. He had no other requests today; just surviving his sister's outburst would be a great success!

"..." Toguro gave Shinji Ikari a thumbs-up in a very magnanimous manner. In a sense, Toguro admired Shinji's stubbornness to some extent. Facing the wrath of the evil god, shouldn't such a warrior have his request granted in the end?

"Thanks!" Shinji Ikari didn't say much and headed straight for the depths of the Himuro Mansion. It has to be said that Shinji Ikari was extremely familiar with this path, so he quickly entered the lowest level of the Himuro Mansion.

"Kiri-nee, this is breakfast that Tsukasa asked me to bring down." Shinji Ikari said with a smile, and then very attentively opened the food box. Although Tsukasa said it was a very simple breakfast, it still included two small bowls of rice porridge, a plate of pickles that Shinji Ikari recognized very well, and three pieces of millet cake in three different colors. The milk cake that Shinji Ikari ate was just one of them.

Regarding this difference in treatment, not only Shinji Ikari had no objections, but even the shrine maidens outside had no objections. After all, the shrine maidens knew that their smooth training here was thanks to whose blessed land they were in. Currently, the shrine maidens of the Onmyōryō are first trained for a period of time at the Twin Shrines of Minakami Village, which have been sealed off by thick steel, cement, and barrier ropes, before the best are selected and sent to the Himuro Mansion.

"Wow, this looks delicious!" Shinji Ikari scratched his face at Himuro Kirie, who was staring at him with annoyance. He awkwardly tried to make conversation, but what could he say? His sister was angry about his safety; what could he say in response? Ask for a beating? Himuro Kirie really would use her barrier rope to whip people!

"You stupid brother, you failed miserably at changing the subject!" Himuro Mimori made a face at Shinji Ikari, then knelt down next to her sister. "That sister is actually quite pretty! Is she really going to be my sister-in-law?" As she spoke, Himuro Mimori reached out to grab a piece of cake to eat. She knew that the cake that Shinji Ikari brought down was made by that very handsome young man.

"Smack!" Himuro Kirie mercilessly slapped Himuro Mimori's hand with her chopsticks.

Himuro Mimori, who had been beaten, looked at her sister with teary eyes, seemingly having no idea what she had done wrong.

"Sigh..." Himuro Kirie sighed, unwrapped the wet wipes beside her, and wiped her sister's hands. "Wipe your hands first!" Then she turned to Shinji, who was snickering to himself, "How old are you? You're just as stupid as your sister!"

"I'm six months old!" Himuro Mimori exclaimed. Shinji Ikari shook his head with a wry smile, took out a portion of braised duck he had made himself from his bag, neatly sliced ​​the duck in a thermal container, and placed it on the table as an extra dish for them.

"Hmph..." Himuro Kirie snorted irritably. She had only eaten a few extra bites, and this bastard remembered it, then went and specifically learned how to make this dish from the Totsuki Culinary Academy chef. At least he had some conscience. "Do you know what happened that night when he took you away?"

"He was probably really taken to Mount Hikane." Shinji Ikari shook his head with a wry smile. Although he knew that Mount Hikane in the game had some hints of a connection, he couldn't find any record of that foreigner fighting in Japan here. So, Mount Hikane here was probably just a simple... well, not simple at all.

"Tell me what happened..." Himuro Kirie nodded. Shinji Ikari's judgment was correct. Himuro Kirie could also do something like this. However, it can only be said that every evil god has its strengths and weaknesses. Due to her special circumstances, Himuro Kirie's forte is sealing. The ropes that are merely imbued with her power can seal the Hollows of Minakami Village for a short time. Therefore, when Shinji Ikari was whipped by her ropes, he couldn't even fight back because his power was sealed.

Clearly, the one from Mount Hikami has a great deal of expertise in time or space. If last night's clash hadn't occurred in Shinji Ikari's mental world, and if the other party hadn't seemed unwilling to harm Shinji, I might not have been able to stop her so easily.

"Well, it's roughly like this..." Although the matter was rather absurd, it wasn't anything complicated. Shinji Ikari rummaged through his pouch and explained the situation in a few words, finally handing over a photo of Ayase Kurosawa.

"...I don't even know if I should scold you." Himuro Kirie, with a strange expression, shook her head, rubbing her forehead, and looked at Shinji Ikari, who was pushing the porridge towards her in a conciliatory manner. She took the bowl and sighed helplessly, "So now? What are you going to do? This agreement isn't easy to break."

Himuro Kirie glanced at the photo and snorted coldly. When Shinji Ikari handed it to her, she saw Kurosawa Ayase in a white wedding kimono. But now, in Himuro Kirie's hands, the Kurosawa Ayase in the photo was dressed in all black, staring at her with an icy expression. Clearly, this photo was not something simple.

"Although it's somewhat unexpected, you can make a decision now." Himuro Kirie held the photo in her hand, a smile on her face. "This photo contains a bit of Kurosawa Aise's soul. Destroying this photo should also cause her considerable harm. If you intend to weaken her, then now is an excellent opportunity."

“First, there’s no point in doing this.” Shinji Ikari shook his head. Even if he was weakened, could he beat her? He couldn’t even beat her in a dream… “Second, this is my own doing. She didn’t do anything to me last night, so let’s just let it go.”

"Hmph!" Himuro Kirie snorted coldly, glaring at Kurosawa Ayase, who seemed to have a half-smile on his face in the photo. Although Shinji Ikari didn't sense it, Kurosawa Ayase and Himuro Kirie had already engaged in a battle of wits from afar using this photo, but neither of them could do anything to the other, only causing thunder to rumble in the sky outside, nothing more.

So when she heard Shinji Ikari say that he didn't intend to destroy the photo in front of her, Kirie Himuro was somewhat dissatisfied. However, as Shinji's older sister, she understood Shinji's subtext: weakening him was pointless, since she couldn't beat him anyway, why bother killing him?

"So you're planning to go see her?"

"This absolutely has to be resolved..."

"Go ahead, I believe in you!"

"Kiri-nee, you're so heartless!"

"Humph!"

Chapter 292 Sensui Shinobu's Proposal

"Hmm?" Kurama, who was having dinner with the shrine maidens, noticed someone emerging from the depths of the Himuro mansion. From what he knew, the shrine maidens usually stayed on the outer perimeter, and Toguro-nii lived on the ground floor of the Himuro mansion, but in his perception, it seemed to be someone coming from the depths of the interior.

"Lady Kirie is out! Line up quickly!" A little girl standing at the end of the line suddenly shouted, and then a group of girls from the Onmyo-ryo quickly lined up on both sides, their attitudes very serious and their expressions very respectful, while Urameshi and the others stared blankly.

"Respectfully seeing off Lady Kirie!" As soon as the red-lacquered gate of the Himuro mansion opened, two rows of shrine maidens bowed to Kirie Himuro without hesitation.

"Slurp... Wow!" After swallowing the rice porridge in his mouth, Urameshi Yusuke stared in astonishment at the scene before him. How did these girls manage to create such a spectacle in such a short time? Combined with Toguro's brother opening the door, it was somewhat shocking to him. He put down his bowl and picked up another bowl of rice porridge from the side, which was filled with rice porridge, and continued to drink. Although it was just simple rice porridge, it had been transformed into something magical in Tsukasa Eishi's hands. This was already Urameshi Yusuke's fourth bowl.

"A fierce god...?" Hiei looked at Himuro Kirie, who was slowly walking out wearing a veil, and his demonic power surged unconsciously. Then, Himuro Kirie, who was in a bad mood, glanced at him. For a moment, Hiei's consciousness was completely dazed. When he came to, he immediately felt all the demonic power in his body was surging violently. He gritted his teeth and began to try to calm his demonic power.

This was not an intentional attack by Himuro Kirie. She merely glanced at Hiei. Under the stress response of Hiei's body, various instinctive reactions began to activate his demonic power, which ended up causing chaos in his own subconscious.

"Is there any more black rice cake?!" After coming out of the Himuro mansion, Mimori saw Eishi Tsukasa and quickly ran over to him, happily making her request.

"Oh, and one more thing!" Tsukasa Eishi quickly took out a lunchbox, put the prepared pastries inside, and finally placed them in an insulated container before handing it to Himuro Mimori. "Is Lady Kirie going out? I didn't have time to prepare a lunchbox for her, I'm so sorry."

"This isn't your fault. It's Shinji's fault today. Just take care of Shinji's friends." Himuro Kirie simply nodded to Tsukasa Eishi. She admired Tsukasa Eishi, a hardworking boy, much more than her younger brother Shinji Ikari, who was always causing trouble.

However, despite her admiration, her younger brother is still her younger brother. Himuro Kirie is very clear about who she should protect. They are going to Mount Hikami to have a serious talk with someone. If they want to enter the Himuro family, they have to abide by their family rules. The first rule is: try messing with my younger brother and sister!

"Um, we need to protect Shinji Ikari because there's a..." Yusuke Urameshi was about to explain that they had to follow Shinji Ikari when Kurama anxiously covered his mouth. Before they came, Shinji Ikari had already instructed them not to tell Himuro Kirie about Sensui Shinobu, since the other party's attitude was still uncertain, so saying more would only make Himuro Kirie more anxious!

"..." Shinji Ikari slapped his forehead. He had already told Raku about what had happened, how could he have been exposed so easily! He couldn't hide the situation from Himuro Kirie, otherwise Himuro Kirie would be even angrier, and then it wouldn't be a question of whether he could appease her or not! But could he talk about Sensui Shinobu's messy affairs?

Sensui Shinobu's current attitude is very strange, and it's impossible to tell whether he intends to open the gates to the Demon World as described in the original story. Shinji Ikari has no way of knowing. According to the theory of the Master East School, martial artists will come to understand each other's goals and reasons in a deadly battle. If Sensui Shinobu could truly understand him, even if he only gained a slight advantage in terms of position, he wouldn't have to confront him head-on.

However, Shinji Ikari knew his sister to some extent. Faced with such a situation, what else could he do to protect her? His own brother being threatened by some nobody? Are you kidding me?! Himuro Kirie would naturally beat him up first, and then go after Sensui Shinobu!

Wouldn't that put us directly in opposition to Sensui Shinobu? We could just skip all the negotiations and start fighting right away.

"Um... actually, it's nothing..." Yusuke Urameshi clearly realized he had slipped up and seemed to be trying to make amends, but it was all in vain. He was dragged by the barrier rope and thrown into the Himuro mansion, landing in front of Toguro's younger brother.

After their eyes met for a few seconds, Toguro's younger brother smirked and punched the ground next to Yusuke Urameshi with 80% of his strength. The two started fighting and immediately became engrossed in their battle. Kurama and Hiei glanced at them, then turned and rushed into the Himuro mansion. Kurama gave Shinji Ikari a look that said, "I can't help you, take care of yourself."

But Himuro Kirie wasn't stupid. As soon as she heard Yusuke Urameshi start speaking, she realized something was wrong! Shinji Ikari was definitely hiding something from her. The next moment, Shinji was hoisted up by the suddenly extended barrier ropes. Himuro Kirie stared at Shinji with eyes that were anything but kind, "Why are they protecting you?"

"My... my master's master came back, and our relationship wasn't that good." Shinji Ikari said with some helplessness. Even though he knew that telling her might not end well, he couldn't hide it from Himuro Kirie, who truly regarded him as a younger brother.

"So that's what you were thinking?" A male voice suddenly interrupted Shinji Ikari as he was speaking. A tall figure leaped down from the tree; it was none other than Sensui Shinobu, the very person Shinji had just been talking about.

"..." Shinji Ikari, who was hanging upside down, was somewhat surprised. He had been followed without even knowing it. Looking at the face that was almost unchanged from more than ten years ago, and the familiar posture, Shinji Ikari frowned. It seemed that things were not going to end well today.

"Whoosh!" Isayama Mei's demonic power surged, and her dragon tail slammed heavily onto the ground. Her huge claws opened and closed, producing a series of cracking sounds from her bones. She was ready for battle. Although Isayama Mei wasn't very confident in facing an S-rank powerhouse, retreating without a fight was not her style.

"Whoosh!" Yusa Emi threw off her coat, revealing a stab-proof vest underneath and a half-sword at her waist. Her eyes were sharp as she stared at Sensui Shinobu before her. She had heard Isayama Mei describe the person before her. In this world, there is never a balance between merit and demerit; merit should be rewarded, and mistakes should be punished!

It was Sensui Ninja who killed the martial arts masters of the time, which directly led to Japan's national strength, although not bad, being unable to suppress all kinds of monsters and demons for a long time. In the end, they had no choice but to introduce two large organizations, NERV and TERRA, as a last resort to suppress the various monsters and demons on the island.

"Form ranks! Protect Lady Kirie!" With a shout, the shrine maidens rushed to the weapon racks on both sides, and one after another, gleaming naginatas were taken. These shrine maidens displayed a fearless attitude and stood in front of Sensui Shinobu. They had received a great favor from Himuro Kirie, and under such circumstances, they would absolutely not run away on their own.

"Oh dear! Oh dear! It seems like I've been disliked?!" Sensui walked up to Tsukasa Eishi with a forced smile. "This breakfast smells so good, could I have one? I haven't had breakfast yet."

"Huh? Of course!" Tsukasa Eishi nodded. A chef shouldn't refuse a hungry customer. As for whether it would be a matter of life and death later, that would have to wait until he finished eating. Tsukasa Eishi handed a bowl of rice porridge, a plate of pickles, and a few pieces of rice cake to Sensui Shinobu. "Sorry, the black rice cakes were all taken by Mimori-san."

"So...who are you?" The barrier rope loosened, and Shinji Ikari jumped down from the tree he was hanging from. "Which personality are you?"

"Sen-sui Shinobu!" Sensing the burst of demonic energy that had erupted from this place, Urameshi Yusuke and the others, including Toguro's younger brother, all had ferocious looks in their eyes.

"You still know this? It seems that Honda Shinichiro told you quite a bit back then." Sensui Shinobu took a sip of porridge. "Your cooking is superb. I haven't had such fragrant rice porridge in a long time."

"Thank you for your compliment. I'm sorry, excuse me." After saying that, Tsukasa Eishi took off his chef's uniform, stretched his arms and legs, and walked over to Shinji Ikari.

"Yes, how does it feel to fight to the death with your own disciple?" Seeing that Sensui Shinobu did not answer his question, Shinji Ikari looked a little confused. Sensui Shinobu was not the kind of person who would ramble on and on. Once he made a decision, he would carry it out very resolutely.

“It’s terrible. He’s much stronger than I imagined. I knew I hadn’t misjudged him. Even though he doesn’t have exceptional talent, he has the heart of a strong person.” Sensui Shinobu didn’t tease him. She just turned her head slightly to look at the woods beside her and said with some emotion, “But to be honest, I really didn’t expect that you would have such a special… um, family!” Sensui Shinobu looked at Himuro Kirie, who was staring intently at her. “I didn’t think I needed to contact you so soon, but I suddenly changed my mind.”

"So?" Shinji Ikari looked at this person who seemed familiar yet completely unfamiliar. "Are you Shiki? Or which one?"

"Oh, you mean my split personality? I spent over a decade in the Demon Realm, and I got tired of that game, so in a sense, you could say I killed them. You can understand it that way, right?" Sensui Shinobu said with a smile, making no attempt to hide the fact that she had resolved her split personality issue in a very unusual way.

"..." Shinji Ikari frowned. This mess seemed to have become even more troublesome. The original Sensui Shinobu had split into 7 personalities. Apart from the main Sensui Shinobu personality that was usually dormant, there were 7 different personalities. In a sense, the main Sensui Shinobu personality was also in a state of being disturbed and weakened on a daily basis. Although it was unknown how Sensui Shinobu had done it, there was no doubt that the current Sensui Shinobu was three times stronger than before.

"Shinji's sister, don't stare at me so nervously. I'm not here to fight Shinji today; on the contrary, I'm here to have a chat. If possible, I hope we can become like-minded friends," Sensui said with a suppressed smile. After all, he seemed quite different from my clumsy apprentice.

“Let me guess…” Shinji Ikari took a deep breath, somewhat speechless, but mostly helpless, “Even though you’ve been in the Demon World for over a decade and no longer think it’s a pure world, you still believe… there’s a basis for interaction between humans and demons, just like Urameshi and I can be friends with demons and monsters, right?”

“Yes, don’t you think such a world is wonderful? You and your friends, including your sister and younger sister, no longer need to hide your identities and can appear anywhere under this sky at any time.” Sensui Shinobu said, her eyes practically shining.

"I don't need it!" Himuro Kirie looked at Sensui Shinobu in front of her. This was a very dangerous guy who actually used himself as an example to persuade Shinji Ikari.

"When you're tired from playing at night and a little hungry, and you find a snack right next to you, what would you do?" Shinji Ikari didn't answer Shinobu Sensui's question directly, but instead asked a somewhat convoluted one.

"..." Shinobu Sensui narrowed her eyes. Shinji Ikari's question went straight to the heart of the matter. To say she wouldn't eat it would make Shinobu Sensui feel guilty. She couldn't convince herself at all. This was an operation that was almost like making wild beasts eat vegetables. It was very difficult. But some people couldn't help it. Moreover, the base number was the whole world. How could all the demons resist? There would always be a few who would cross the line. "So we need to work hard to create such a world! A world of great harmony."

"Sen-sui Shinobu, you no longer believe what you said, so what nonsense are you spouting!" With a surge of demonic energy, Toguro-nii unleashed 100% of his power, even exceeding his original limits, transforming into a muscular and burly giant, and punched Sen-sui Shinobu!

"Today I..." Sensui Shinobu chuckled lightly, and a crimson spirit ball was kicked out almost instantly. With a loud bang, it directly sent Toguro's younger brother flying into the mountain behind the Himuro mansion. Blood gushed from Toguro's body like a fountain. In just one exchange, Toguro's younger brother was severely injured.

"Enough!" Himuro Kirie unleashed her power, the terrifying power of a fierce god erupting forth. Himuro Kirie, atop the Himuro mansion, could be considered virtually invincible. "You are not welcome here!"

"Alright, Shinji, think it over carefully, don't refuse so easily."

"This is a really messy matter that requires taking sides. Can you not make it sound so easy? Goodbye!"

"Hmph! See you later!"

"No, I won't see it!"

Chapter 293 "Shut Up"

Shinji Ikari himself hadn't expected that the day he might face Sensui Shinobu would come so soon, and Sensui Shinobu seemed to be showing him unusual leniency, which left Shinji somewhat bewildered. He inadvertently glanced at Isayama Mei and realized that although they hadn't actually fought, his demonic energy had still been circulating, so he had used up a lot of his energy and needed to eat some more. Shinji seemed to understand something.

Sensui Shinobu believes she can accept a world where humans and demons live together... after all, the people around her...

Her biological father is no longer human, her older sister is no longer human, her younger sister has never been human, and Isayama Mei, having now merged with the bloodline of a dragon, is definitely not in the category of normal people either; at most, she can be considered a half-demon. Yusa Emi's biological mother is an angel, so naturally she is not an ordinary person...

As for Urameshi and the others who came with them this time! Well, if you really want to count them, it seems like none of them are human! Let's not even talk about Kurama and Hiei, even considering the great inheritance from previous generations, Urameshi Yusuke isn't human either, and even Toguro's younger brother, who just threw a punch beyond his limits at Sensui Shinobu and was just pulled off the mountain by the shrine maidens, isn't human either.

Looking at it this way, the only one who can be sure is human seems a bit out of place. And on Sensui Shinobu's side, there are only two ordinary people (not counting the shrine maidens, and Yusuke Urameshi's great inheritance from a previous generation hasn't manifested yet). Naturally, she should support him, or at least understand his thoughts. It's only right to try to win him over! At least she belongs to the type who doesn't hate demons.

This left Shinji Ikari speechless. While the relationship between humans and demons isn't entirely fixed as predator and prey, and the dynamics can sometimes reverse, the fact that demons eat humans is a deeply ingrained tradition, and the inherent danger is undeniable, not to mention the situation where humans are directly mixed with demons.

From Shinji Ikari's perspective, after being exiled to the Demon World and experiencing the "simplicity, kindness, and purity" of the Demon World's people, Shinobu Sensui's changed ideas were even more outrageous than before.

"Have you figured it out?" Seeing Shinji Ikari's thoughtful but speechless expression, Himuro Kirie asked calmly, her sleeves tucked in. Shinji was contemplating important matters, and as his older sister, she couldn't disturb her brother's busy work.

"Ah... I've roughly figured it out... No, no, no... I haven't! I'm still thinking... Ah!" Shinji Ikari blurted out unconsciously, but immediately felt a chill down his spine as he realized who was talking to him. He immediately began to deny what he had just said, but it was too late!

The barrier rope swiftly wrapped around Shinji Ikari's ankle! Without a shred of mercy, it swung around and smashed him down! A classic Hulk-on-Loki move!

"Um..." Yusuke Urameshi was stunned. Just now, this older sister seemed to be planning to help Shinji Ikari talk to another fierce god. How could she suddenly be so ruthless?!

"Move the big guy a little further away, so he doesn't get splashed by Shinji." The leading shrine maiden, suppressing a laugh, directed her colleagues to carry away Toguro's younger brother, who was severely injured and still coughing up blood. In his current state, being smashed around and about to fly away, it was really not suitable for them to bandage Toguro's younger brother.

"sister……"

"Boom!"

"Spare your life!"

"Boom!"

"I was wrong!"

"Boom!"

"...Let me go!"

"Boom!"

"Ah... cha..." Mei Isayama grinned, craning his neck to look, unsure whether he should say anything. After all, things had come to this point, and kicking someone when they're down seemed inappropriate. But could you help persuade Kirie Himuro...?

Isayama Mei still felt it best to leave the matter alone. If she really brought it up, she would still be guilty of knowing but not reporting. She wasn't like Sakaki Ryoko, who had the get-out-of-jail-free card of being Himuro Kirie's recognized sister-in-law. Besides, the strength of her dragon body might make it more enjoyable for Isayama Mei to swing her around and smash her, rather than suffer unnecessary physical pain.

"..." Yusa Emi, standing to the side, watched as Shinji Ikari, swinging around, smashed through a bunch of cedar trees that would take at least forty or fifty years to grow. Her little face twitched. The affection between the siblings was truly an eye-opener for her! If anyone else had been hit like that, they would probably have been smashed to pieces.

"My sister is so scary..." Himuro Mimori, who had been sitting upright, was now filled with lingering fear. So her sister could not only hang people up, but also smash them around like that! Hmm... thank goodness her brother scouted ahead for her! My sister is so terrifying...

Unlike the others, who were somewhat confident, Yusuke Urameshi and his crew were quite shocked! Was this fierce-looking woman, whom Shinji Ikari was calling "sister," really going to kill Shinji? These heavy blows, landing relentlessly on their bodies...

After all, for them, the fact that Shinji Ikari, who was about as strong as them, or even slightly stronger, was being so thoroughly and utterly crushed was a shocking and incomprehensible scene.

"I won't die, you don't need to worry. I can slowly recover using my demonic energy." Toguro pushed away the shrine maidens who were bandaging him. His strong body allowed him to withstand the maximum damage. Sensui Shinobu's casual attack had finally restored his mobility after so long. "Miri-san has already shown mercy, otherwise... this guy would already be a corpse."

In Toguro's eyes, Himuro Kirie's forte was never this kind of violent attack. If Himuro Kirie really wanted to kill everyone in front of her, once she unleashed her power, everyone would have their power sealed in an instant, and then watch helplessly as their souls were pulled out of their bodies and then cleanly chewed up. Wasn't that the fate of his brother and his two followers? The terrifying difference in their ranks left them no chance to resist.
