Chapitre 196: Chapter 196: Higher Echelons

Blood sprayed towards all directions from behind Satsuki right before she had the chance to look back and defend herself from the mystery perpetrator, shocking both her and Shinsuke out of their wits.

The woman infamously known as the "Blood Fairy" giggled before saying something. "Likewise, Satsuki-sama. I'm happy that you both finally made it here. However, this isn't exactly the quiet entry I was hoping for a recon quest."
