Ryuuki and Tobio went straight to Sae's house, the condition of the house was empty but for some reason the items from the house were still intact.

After checking the first floor, it's also true that the house has two floors where Sae's room is above.

Checking out Sae's room, it's like a normal teenage girl's room where many have stuffed animal shapes and lots of cute accessories.

On the study table they found Sae's notes that were left behind, and Tobio read the Dairy while Ryuuki looked for other things that could be used as pointers.

Suddenly the door opened, causing the two of them to immediately divert their attention.

"Sae!?"(Tobio)

Tobio's eyes became wet and immediately wanted to hug his childhood friend but Ryuuki tugged at Tobio's shirt.

"She is not the Sae we know"(Ryuuki)

Ryuuki looked warily at Sae, then Sae's expression became sinister where his eyes were black and smiled. The girl's eyes were full of evil intent.

And behind Sae was someone he had known not too long ago.

'Himejima Hanezu'(Ryuuki)

"We haven't introduced ourselves before"(Hanezu)

"I am Himejima Hanezu, you could say I am the head of the Utsusemi agency"(Hanezu)

The man introduced himself, the figure of a middle-aged man in a business suit.

"Hrm, I didn't expect that there would be someone from the Oda Clan who should have perished long ago in charge of our business?"(Hanezu)

Puts his hand to his chin with interest.

"And I'm surprised how young Oda Ryuuki is"(Hanezu)

Ryuuki wasn't surprised because he already knew this, ever since he interfered in influencing the plot.

"Hee, I'm flattered Jii-san knows me so well" (Ryuuki)

After that his gaze returned to Tobio.

"Tobio Ikuse, we should consider you necessary and our top priority, but before that brat interferes" (Hanezu)

Hanezu pointed at Ryuuki.

"It might sound a bit strange, but your grandmother Ageha is an outcast from the Himejima Clan"(Hanezu)

Tobio already knew this, but he didn't care, and Hanezu continued to talk about the reason why the project existed that Tobio didn't understand.

"I see, so Jii-san had a problem with the previous clan head?"(Ryuuki)

"Hmm, a little wrong but I did it for the sake of destroying the 5 main Clans with the power of 4 demons against the 4 divine beasts"(Hanezu)

After that Hanezu offered a deal for Tobio, to become their weapon even with subtle seduction.

"I didn't, after all you did such a terrible thing just for your own convenience" (Tobio)

Tobio refused with eyes full of hostility and Jin was also growling like he wanted to bite Hanezu.

Hanezu also after hearing Tobio's refusal immediately gave a signal to Sae, Sae who her been silent for a while moved and her hands moved like a slash, and a black shadow began to spread and gave rise to a large star shaped like a lion with jet black fur and golden eyes filled with bloodlust.

Tobio and Ryuuki realized that this Utsusemi was very different from the one they fought before, Tobio got goosebumps how scary the Lion was but Ryuuki kept his cool and asked Hanezu something.

"Is this your new product?"(Ryuuki)

"… Right, this was developed by a group of Magicians who cooperated with the 'Utsusemi Agency' they called it 'Coward Leo'(The lion who lost his courage). The only test subject who managed to adapt to it" (Hanezu)

{AN:Actually I took a lot from the novel}

Ryuuki actually already realized that the two of them were surrounded, which was around the house.

"We are completely surrounded" (Ryuuki)

Hearing Ryuuki, Tobio reacted immediately and saw the window where Utsusemi was surrounding the house.

Ryuuki was a little hesitant to fight at Sae's house because Tobio also had many memories in that house, but circumstances forced them, but when Ryuuki prepared to fight Hanezu offered a deal.

"I have a suggestion, It's fine for you guys to take a tour of our research facility, the fellow students you're looking for are already there safely, and plus the relatives of the students are also there" (Hanezu)

'Dammit, we really have no way out.'(Ryuuki)

Ryuuki can indeed win under siege but Ryuuki's magic most of them are very destructive and not suitable for fighting in a narrow area like this, Ryuuki being in a hurry so only practicing magic he thinks is very useful but Ryuuki himself is not sure that in such a situation like this will help what else Sae is already in front of them.

So they were forced to accept the suggestion because Ryuuki had other plans.
