Chương 22: Akaya Makoto Sticks To His Principles

He couldn't understand why Virto was trying to attack Shibahime. He had considered various possibilities, but at the very least, he knew that if things continued as they were, Virto might do something irreversible to Shibahime.

So, he used his iron ball to keep her in check, but...

"Virto, what the hell are you doing? Shibahime is already in such bad shape... No matter how much of a nasty piece of work she is, you don't have to go this far!"

She turned her gaze toward him through the dent in the wall made by the iron ball.

In that instant, he realized something—her usual demeanor was different.

Could it be... is that what's going on?

Virto, do you really hate Shibahime that much?

Is that why you're trying to take advantage of the chaos to kill her?

I get it, I totally get it; she really is a nasty piece of work.
