Second half of the auction.
Compared to the overall atmosphere of the first half, the second half felt more intense than usual. The moment the group entered the auction hall, they felt as if the air was choking them. Then again, Kazuichi instantly assumed that this was all because of the intense scent of the Hybrids which saturated the room so much he could literally taste their smell.
"Ah shi~ here we go again, huh,' Kazuichi mumbled as he returned to his seat. Before he sat down, however, he caught Hinokami's scent on his seat as if he stayed there the whole time. Kazuichi had no idea if it was on purpose, but he certainly didn't feel good about it.
And speaking of not feeling good, Kazuichi sort of concluded that it was Hinokami who sent all those Hybrids at them. He recognized that some of them stood beside him when they interacted with each other a couple of moments ago.
We all know Kazuichi's just burning Hinokami's money at this point heuheu~
