Chapter 73: Book Three: Chapter Three: Emma's Past Revealed & Megumi's Surprise?

The next day, I ran into a sight for sore eyes. It's been a while, Ace. It hasn't, beautiful. Ace replied. Stop with the flattery. Even I know you want something. I replied. Let's just say I might have some dirt on a certain person we both despise. Ace replied. Oh, say more. I replied. Remember that attack on you and that Minori guy? Ace replied. Don't bring him up. I replied. They are after him for his power. It's just that Kaze no Megami appeared to help. Ace replied. I know I want more information on this, Ace. I replied. As you wish, my beautiful Shi no ōjo. Ace replied. He vanished. Minori felt a disturbance in the air. Looking up to see a person vanish in the air. Ichiko walks over. Haru, was that Ace? Ichiko asked. Yes. I replied. Is Ace going to look into those two for you? Ichiko asked. He said so. I replied. You know he can not refuse any request of you. Ichiko replied. I know. I replied. Minori walked over. Hey who was that? Minori asked. An informant of ours. We all go way back. He is really a powerful ally. Ichiko replied. Really? Minori asked. Yes, and I called Minori because he has something to tell us. Ichiko replied. You may not believe me, but there are things Izanami shared with me, she told no one else. Minori replied. So. I replied. Just all come to Megumi's Dojo after school and everything will start making sense. Minori replied. He adverted his eyes and walked away. As I sat there, I adverted my eyes. Haru be a little nicer to him. They forced him to do those things. Ichiko replied. After he left, that look in his eyes. The same look as when he apologizes to me. "Haru, I never meant to hurt you". After school, the seven of us came to the dojo. Megumi told us to come downstairs. Minori, I need you to tell us about the last secret Izanami told you. Megumi replied. The last thing she told me about was the person who attacked you yesterday and his friends. Minori replied. Can you give us details? Yoshi asked. They are as equivalent to the Ono Retainers. Only difference is that they possess holy and devil magic. That guy, Bahari, is one of those seven. He is an elemental like you, Ichiko. Minori replied. Now that I think about it. I saw heavenly runes on his arms protecting him when my attack hit him. Ichiko replied. If I remember exactly. A knock on the door. I know you are down here, Emma Sakai and Minori Hirayama. Åse replied. Emma clinched her fist. I saw Emma become angry at that voice. I'm going to hold them off. Megumi replied. She opened the door. So you were hiding my sister. Åse replied. Emma pushed Megumi out of the way. She grabbed Åse fist. Telling from your face you finally found something you care about? Bahari asked. Mind your business, Bahari. Emma replied. How do you know those two? I asked. You could say we were almost like a family. Emma replied. She let go of her fist. Look at your hand is all beat up. Natsumi replied. It's fine. My Yasha Magic heals my wounds. Emma replied. So what is up with this? Minori asked. You are Izanami's enemy now. She asked of us to take care of you two first. Bahari replied. A man walks in the room. I feel their magic power. The reserved one in the corner. You mean me? Yumi asked. He walks closer. Yumi looks down and jumps back. Why did she jump back? I thought. I see you can see my magic in its purest form. Hadeon replied. Yumi listen to me, Hadeon magic can swallow your shadow and existence. Emma replied. I'm afraid she could see it already. Hadeon replied. What? Megumi thought. That explains how they got here without my knowledge. Megumi replied. Yes. Emma replied. We came here for what Izanami asked? Bahari asked. She sent us to capture those two. Emma got into her fight stance. Minori summoned his sword. A job is a job, right? Bahari replied. Megumi stomped her foot. Magic circles appeared above them. Hadeon rushed over and grabbed them. Why did you grab us? Bahari asked. Those weren't your average spell circles. That a form of goddess magic about to be performed. Hadeon replied. What? I thought. What are you really? Hadeon asked. I am what you all call a Demi-goddess. Megumi replied. Stay Tuned.
