We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

So, Miyamoto Honoko instinctively turned around, not passing through the main gate of the Moon Forest, but instead turning onto a path that ran along the wall of the Moon Forest.

She glanced at the rearview mirror; the Maybach behind her was firmly planted, seemingly intent on slowly suffocating her.

This undoubtedly made Miyamoto Honoko even more anxious:

"If we delay any longer... the agents from the Enforcement Bureau will be here soon..."

"This can't go on like this."

She subconsciously assumed that Toyokawa Kiyoko's strength was far inferior to hers, which was why he only dared to drive behind her and block her path. A sense of resentment welled up within her.

Driving such a luxury car, which doesn't look like it's been modified, he's probably an outsider to the family...

He probably only learned a little bit about how his family raised ordinary mixed-race people, and at most knows a little about driving or shooting. He has never experienced a life-or-death confrontation. If it were any other time, I would have killed him long ago.

Just as she was thinking this, the Maybach behind her suddenly cut in from the side, its front end almost brushing against her back door.

"hiss--"

Miyamoto Suiko's expression changed drastically.

"not good."

Although she thought the newcomers behind her were not very strong, she believed that if things continued like this, her car would eventually be forced onto the fence.

And...time is running out.

After all, the family she once relied on has now completely turned against her, and Miyamoto Honoko is now all alone.

"Woo-"

She burst into tears. After all, according to her actual age, she was still just a child, and the dramatic change in her status drove her almost mad.

However, she did not reduce her driving speed at all.

"That area should be a forested area on the edge of Tsuki no Mori Academy."

Miyamoto Honoko recalled the scene when she and her brother visited the Moon Forest.

Not long ago, she had not yet fallen into the 'ghost' world. Originally, if she hadn't gone to the family's preparatory class, she could have gone to a regular middle school.

With the wealth and status of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, she could choose any school in Japan.

Miyamoto Honoko had once considered attending middle school here; judging by the time, the start of the school year was just a few months away.

Who would have thought that she would return to the Moon Forest campus in this way?

Not far away, the forest area that Miyamoto Honoko had been thinking about came into view.

The trees were tall and lush, and although the overall area was not large, Miyamoto Honoko felt it was enough.

Left with no other choice, she drove straight into the forest and braked suddenly just before she was about to crash into an unavoidable row of trees.

brake!

The tires screeched as they rubbed against the ground.

The brakes seemed to have been applied too abruptly, causing the car to skid and still crash into it.

Miyamoto Honoko gripped the steering wheel tightly, panting as she glanced at the rearview mirror, her expression changing drastically.

"How could they catch up so fast..."

Behind us, a Maybach drove up leisurely, but its speed was by no means slow.

Miyamoto Honoko gritted her teeth, held her brother's head in her arms, opened the car door, and jumped out.

“Mingzhao”.

Snapped--

A hazy, dark halo quickly spread, enveloping her entirely.

Her figure gradually blurred and disappeared into the light and shadow of the woodland.

Mingzhao, a hidden type of incantation.

The caster can create a small field centered on themselves, within which light refracts in strange ways, creating an effect similar to invisibility.

This is a natural assassin-type incantation. Miyamoto Honoko was able to kill her brother, whose strength far surpassed hers, precisely because of its effect.

She pressed her body almost to the ground, just as her family had taught her, while gradually slowing her breathing.

Not far away, Toyokawa Kiyoyuki got off the car.

He sighed and then also headed towards the forest area.

'Setsuna' is a Word of Power known for its "divine speed". It can greatly enhance the speed of the caster. In a head-on confrontation, Miyamoto Honoka would not be able to withstand even one move from him.

But the deeper he went into the forest, the dimmer the light became, which made it even more suitable for 'Mingzhao' to work, and he could not immediately find Miyamoto Suiko's whereabouts.

"Playing house with little kids..."

Toyokawa Kiyoko sighed.

The main reason he stepped into this forest area was because it was next to the Moon Forest school, where his daughter studied. Even if Miyamoto Honoko wanted to play hide-and-seek with him, he had to keep her occupied here.

Miyamoto Honoko possesses a B+ grade bloodline, and her emotions are extremely unstable. Coupled with her out-of-control state, the consequences of letting her enter the Moon Forest would be unimaginable.

However, Miyamoto Honoko can temporarily hide in the forest area thanks to 'Netherworld Illumination'. If she enters the Moon Forest, he will immediately notice her. In return, Toyokawa Kiyoko will have to keep her in the forest area until the other agents of the Execution Bureau arrive.

Wow~~

The wind rustled through the treetops, and the air carried the scent of earth.

A forest area can indeed make people feel refreshed and relaxed. Although Miyamoto Suiko has not yet revealed her whereabouts, Toyokawa Kiyoko is not nervous at all. He even stretched his shoulders to prevent one of the most feared diseases among working people: frozen shoulder.

He rotated his shoulders, then stretched his neck, while raising his right arm as if to stretch.

In that very instant,

Whoosh!

A beam of silver light shot out.

It was a small tactical dagger, razor-sharp as thin as a needle, which Miyamoto Suiko was now using as a throwing knife. The cold metallic glint tore through the air as it 'whooshed' straight ahead with precise force!

Unlike the mixed-race children in those families who were imprisoned in bloodline schools at a very young age, Miyamoto Honoko was only recently deemed out of control.

Prior to this, because her parents were high-ranking members of the Miyamoto family, she had also learned some ninja techniques from the Fuma clan during the family's internal training.

Miyamoto Honoko disliked fighting and killing; she was only interested in the throwing knives and spent a lot of time and effort on them.

She had previously used this technique to successfully pop balloons and play ring toss, but this was only the second time she had actually used it in a real game.

A cruel look appeared on Miyamoto Honoko's face.

After Toyokawa Kiyoshi got off the bus, she naturally saw his face and seemed to remember him somewhat, but she couldn't recall his name.

But whatever, since they keep chasing me relentlessly, then let them die!

…………

!

!!!

The scene in the forest played out in Nan Yun Yuyue's mind. The beam of silver light was like a movie, and then the 'vision' gave it a close-up shot.

Within Nan Yun Yu Yue's 'vision', he could clearly see the patterns on the knife.

The silver knife seemed to pause for a moment before continuing its rapid flight.

Nan Yun Yuyue was shocked:

"From the perspective of 'Discipline,' it's even possible to slow down this type of attack..."

"This kind of out-of-control hybrid must be at least B-rank in terms of bloodline. But since Xiangzi's bloodline rank is so high, Xiang's father's must be at least A-rank as well."

"As it stands, Toyokawa Kiyotaka hasn't reacted yet, and we don't know how he'll deal with this attack."

However, Nan Yun Yuyue still had great faith in Xiang Die's abilities. While his mind was racing, he picked up on the topic of Nagasaki Sue from earlier, making his distraction less noticeable.

He began to speak:

"Actually, I had studied guitar for a while before and watched other people form bands. I learned a lot from them, which is why I was able to understand it."

"I see."

Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly realized.

Nanon Ugetsu slightly changed the subject:

"Su Shi, you actually did quite well too."

“Me?” Nagasaki Motoyo paused for a moment, as if he hadn’t expected him to suddenly mention her.

“Hmm.” Nan Yun Yuyue thought for a moment, “The tone of the whole passage is handled very gently. This kind of support cannot be developed through practice alone.”

Nagasaki Motoyo seemed somewhat flattered, her ears subtly turning slightly red.

“That’s right.” Nan Yun Yuyue began to draw on her experience of forming a band and playing music in her previous life, and then praised the performance from many angles.

Meanwhile, in his 'vision', the scene of the forest area continues:

………………

Whoosh!

The throwing knife flashed towards them.

A sickly smile appeared on Miyamoto Honoko's face.

Closer...closer...

Closer...

Given the level of skill in her attack, even her brother, who had joined the family's executive bureau, would have had no chance of blocking it.

Previously, she had used this same trick to end his life just as he was about to close the car door.

The silver light arrived almost instantly, reaching Toyokawa Kiyokazu's neck in the blink of an eye.

Miyamoto Honoko could almost see his head explode in that instant, and for some reason, she gently closed her eyes.

"Strange...aren't I already a 'ghost'?"

"But...why am I still afraid?"

She murmured to herself,

After a second, Miyamoto Honoko opened her eyes.

next moment,

Her face was immediately filled with disbelief.

"How can it be!"

In her sight, Toyokawa Kiyoshi was unharmed, with the silver knife still tucked between his fingers.

Miyamoto Honoko instinctively wanted to cry out, but she stopped herself for fear of being discovered.

Within the 'vision,' Nan Yun Yuyue clearly witnessed this scene, and was equally shocked:

"This word of power...this is an instantaneous moment!"

"I never imagined that Xiangzi's father's words of power were actually this."

"With this incantation, this out-of-control hybrid is definitely no match for him, so he only dares to ambush and hide."

He pondered,

"However... not long ago, when Toyokawa Kiyotaka came home from get off work, he also picked up Shoko and took her home. In addition, there was some very important guest at the dinner party at the Wakaba family mansion last time."

"All things considered... Kiyotaka Toyokawa has probably already started that investment totaling 168 billion yen."

Nanyun Yuyue decided in her heart.

"The reason why a half-blood with the power of 'moment' could be expelled from a family cannot be a simple investment,"

"A mere 168 billion yen is not something the Toyokawa Group can't afford, let alone the Snake-Headed Eight Families. This amount of money is just a drop in the ocean for them, and its value is definitely not comparable to that of a high-ranking hybrid."

"What exactly was the reason... that the Toyokawa Group, a subordinate of the Snake Clan, would expel such a powerful 'son-in-law' from the family..."

"If you have the chance, you must investigate the reasons behind it."

He was multitasking, having just praised Nagasaki Motoyo's performance.
