“However, as I said, I came here with my mom and dad. I can’t just leave them behind, can I? So… if they both agree, that’s fine, right?” Ryougi Mana said, walking to the side and looking around. “Let’s ask them when they come back. How about we wait together?”

"Are you serious, buddy?"

“Yes, I’m serious,” Ryougi Mana said with a smile.

"Alright," Kanzaki Kaori relented, "At least there's still a chance..."

"Phew...that's good." Stiyl breathed a sigh of relief. "I never expected such a young girl to have such power...even though we're not from Academy City..."

Kanzaki looked at Stiyl and then at Ryougi Mana and said, "Actually, you two are about the same age, right? You're only 14 years old, aren't you?"

"Huh?" Ryougi Mona was stunned for a moment. She looked at Stiyl, who was two meters tall, had red hair, a barcode under his eye, and kept waving a cigarette in his hand. He knew his mouth hurt but kept putting it to his lips. This time it was her turn to be surprised: "No way... he's only fourteen years old? He looks older than my dad."

"Cough-cough-"

Stiyl nearly drowned himself from a mouthful of blood.

"I'm so sorry I'm older than your father—"

"Oh right, I haven't asked you yet. My name is Kanzaki Kaori, and his name is Stiyl Magnus. What's your name?"

“Ryougi Mana, that’s my name.” Ryougi Mana smiled and said, “I’m also fourteen years old this year.”

"So, we're the same age...?" Steele took the cigarette from his lips again, tossed it aside after seeing it stained red, and took out a new one...

What are the chances that your parents will agree to you going? Or... what are the chances that they'll go together...?

"Hmm... I don't know. Like we said before, we came here to have fun, but it doesn't seem like we're going there with you guys... so I don't know." Ryougi Mona shook her head.

Then a voice came from the side.

"No problem, we can go... or rather, let's go together."

"————!" Kanzaki Kaori, who had just breathed a sigh of relief and eased her tense nerves, was nearly scared to death by the voice coming from the side!

What's wrong with these people?

Do I have to keep my nerves constantly on edge? Can't I even relax a little bit?

"Mommy~ Daddy—!"

Turning around to look at the two people walking towards her, Kanzaki Kaori paused for a moment. Just now... what did that girl call them?

A young man and woman, who looked to be around twenty years old, were being called "Dad" and "Mom" by a teenage girl...

"As expected... Stiyl looks a bit older..."

“You’re copying her too—” Steele roared.

"Haha...alright,alright..."

"You two...you weren't just watching from the sidelines the whole time, were you?" Ryougi Suna tilted her head slightly and said.

Although her stunt double's range is fifty meters.

However, the total number of knots actually piled up was exactly the size of her body. The stronger the enemy, the more concentrated they would become. Therefore, she did not notice the two people beside her. However... although she did not notice them, she could naturally tell what they meant from their tone.

"I wouldn't call it that... I got back a little later than you... Shiki got back even later." Ryougi Kazumi smiled and said, "However, this was one of your rare 'real battles'... although... the enemy's level of restraint could more be described as 'sparring' than 'battle'."

"Hmm, if you knew, you should have come out earlier~ Really..."

"Alright." Ryougi Kazumi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Although I agree to go, there is one condition. Today is July 18th in this world... We must leave this place by November 1st at the latest. If you agree, we'll go; if you don't agree, we'll leave now."

"Yes, yes—I agree, I agree!"

Chapter 1176 Water from Behind

"So, do you agree with the arrangement?"

Sitting on the bus heading to Academy City, Ryougi Kazuya casually remarked.

Another major reason why I agreed was because Shiki said, "It seems quite interesting."

I don't know if it's because this world is interesting, or because of Kanzaki Kaori's two "Only Flash" sword slashes.

Ultimately, another reason for the current situation is Kanzaki Kaori's naiveté. If the second Yui Flash hadn't deliberately missed... no, if it weren't for her intuition predicting that Kanzaki Kaori would hold back, then Ryougi Suna wouldn't have acted the way she did back then.

Moreover, even if it were a direct attack, Ryougi Mana might not necessarily be unable to dodge it.

Kanzaki Kaori's misjudgment was that she could still move while in the air.

While Kanzaki's physical abilities should allow her to achieve something similar when using the 'power of a saint,' it would likely involve forcibly hovering in the air, using a technique similar to 'Moonwalk' from the One Piece world.

However, it's not about using skills, but entirely about using brute force.

The two states of Manas are completely different from these; they truly 'stand in the air'. There is no situation where they cannot move flexibly in the air.

"I'm just planning to go over there for a look."

Ryougi Shiki looked at the scenery rushing past the window and said, "Besides... even if there are a lot of dangerous guys in this world, it doesn't really matter, since it won't affect us anyway... those demons and gods in this world... although they're a bit chaotic, at least they won't act recklessly."

"Probably... I guess." Ryougi Kazuya slowly stood up, smiled at Ryougi Mona who was sleeping in the back row, and said, "About how long will it take to get to that Academy City?"

"It'll be another two or three hours," Kanzaki Kaori said. "Of course, that's assuming no one gets in the way during the process."

Are there any other people?

Ryougi and Mi asked, "Who are they?"

“The Anglican Church and Academy City sent us, and then the Roman Catholic Church also sent people... However, since we are already in Japan, we are faster. Even if they arrive, they will be too late. They will most likely go directly to Academy City or intercept us on the roads of Academy City…” Kanzaki Kaori said, “I will be responsible for the interception.”

“It’s alright. Since I said I would go, I’ll just take care of it myself,” Ryougi Kazumi said.

"Huh? But Kazuya." Ryougi Shiki sat down next to Ryougi Suna, who was sleeping, and tilted her head, saying, "Didn't you say you didn't want to fight?"

“What I mean by not wanting to fight is that I don’t want to engage in those mentally and physically exhausting battles…” Ryougi Kazuya smiled. “After all, the guy I’m going to face next is very strong, and I need to recover a bit. But as for the Roman Catholic Church… I’ve thought about their strength… for me right now, it shouldn’t really be considered a battle.”

"Although I don't know who you are, don't be too arrogant." Stiyl took out a cigarette and was about to light it. The wound on his mouth had stopped bleeding, but he couldn't wait to light another cigarette. "There are quite a few strong people in the Roman Catholic Church, such as... people like Kanzaki who are saints. You should have seen the previous battle, right? Kanzaki hardly used her full strength."

"Don't smoke." Ryougi Kazuya reached out and stubbed out his cigarette, saying, "There are indeed figures in this world that I fear, but they do not exist in the Roman Catholic Church."

Well... the fire on the right is indeed very strong...

If someone truly poses a threat to me, it might just be him.

However, I don't possess the weaknesses of a demon god, nor the immortality of an ultimate being if I truly wished...

“Ha…” Steele sighed as he looked at the stolen cigarettes and took back the pack. “Fine, if you really can do it.”

“Stiyl—”

"It's not a big deal, is it? If it were someone else, it would be fine. There are saints in the Roman Catholic Church. If you were to encounter someone in your current condition, I don't think you could win."

"Hmm...I see." Ryougi Kazumi walked to the front of the vehicle, pointed to the person standing in the middle of the road, and said, "Is this the saint you were talking about?"

"Varied--!!??"

"Stop the car!"

"No need to rush, Mona is sleeping, don't move too much and wake her up."

......

"This should be the one," said the person behind, looking at the vehicle in front.

Although he received the order, he also knew very well that by the time he arrived, the person would already be captured by the people of Academy City, so... he would just block the road himself.

He felt power emanating from the car in front of him.

It is also the power of being a 'saint'.

Without a doubt, the person providing the escort was 'Kaori Kanzaki'.

He knew perfectly well the people escorting them, even the route... The 'spy' had sent a message, so he was here to stop them.

Finally, I could feel the presence ahead.

Then, the vehicle stopped a few meters before him.

A man got out of the car.

"Who are you?" Shui asked Ryougi Kazumi from behind. "A person from Academy City? Or from the Anglican Church?"

"neither."

“Is that so? Then this must be the target.” Water from the rear said, “I received orders to take away everyone except those from Academy City and the Anglican Church.”

"Move aside, you're blocking the way." Ryougi Kazumi walked towards the water behind them and said, "Whatever orders you have or whatever else you want, it's better to leave now."

"If you and the other non-Academy City and Anglicans in the vehicle leave with me, then I will have no reason to fight."

"Is that so... It really doesn't make sense."

Ryougi Kazumi said, "Then, come with me."

"I refuse—"

Before she could finish speaking, Houfangzhishui froze, wondering... how she had ended up in mid-air?

"This guy—!?" In the instant he came to his senses, he saw a leg loom larger than it appeared in front of him, violently kicking him aside—

"No way—!" Steele leaned against the car window, his eyes wide as he stared at the hundreds-of-meters-long crack that had appeared in the jungle beside him. "Kicked someone hundreds of meters away in one go!???"

Chapter 1177 Academy City

"Hey, Kanzaki, can you do something like that?"

“No…no…” Kanzaki hesitated for a moment: “It’s not necessarily true. Considering the situation, if I were to go all out with Yui Flash…maybe it would work.”

Before them lay a crack several meters deep and hundreds of meters long, which severed several roads.

Although this area had been closed to traffic for some time and no one had been affected, seeing this situation...

Kanzaki Kaori still felt a little creeped out.

The most crucial evil is... it seems this wasn't the man's full strength.

"What are you still looking at?" Ryougi Kazumi said. "Does it look interesting and you want to try it? If not, let's go."

"And what about you—?"
