Yuna followed Tiny to the vicinity of the site where Cyclone had last encountered trouble.
"You actually followed me here?" Tiny remarked.
Yuna landed and replied calmly, "He's my man, what do you think?"
"Is that so..." Tiny responded.
Just a couple of blocks ahead was the collapsed wall, clearly visible to the naked eye. But Yuna didn't dare to approach, knowing that the place must be filled with numerous observers watching to confirm the whereabouts of anyone associated with Cyclone.
"Wait here," Tiny said, leaving Yuna alone on the rooftop with a mischievous grin before leaping down to the ground below.
Walking out from the alley, Tiny proceeded slowly. Yuna clenched her fists, contemplating her options. Perhaps there were other things she could do rather than staying here. Just like Cyclone had taught her, she thought about what she could do.
Although Yuna would be under surveillance and tracked once she showed up, she realized that her appearance would likely lead her followers to Cyclone. On the other hand, even though Tiny wasn't one of their surveillance targets, chasing after Cyclone so openly could potentially raise suspicions of a trap.
Yuna decided to remove her mask and walk in the opposite direction of the incident involving Cyclone. Using herself as bait, she dashed through the streets. Afterwards, she would blend into the crowd, change her disguise, put on her mask again, and return to the meeting point with Tiny.
"How did it go?" Yuna asked Tiny upon their reunion.
With a relaxed expression, Tiny replied, "Seems like your husband isn't really anyone special – there was no one monitoring that area."
Without refuting, Yuna followed up, "Did you find out where he was taken?"
Tiny nodded. "Come, this way."
After a short period, Yuna and Tiny arrived at the center of Kakarl, south of the Water Shrine High Priest's temple, a large public park.
"No way..." Yuna exclaimed.
"The remnants did lead here," Tiny confirmed.
Yuna wasn't questioning Tiny's abilities, but rather contemplating the unexpected proximity of an enemy of the Water Shrine in their vicinity.
As night fell, six hours had passed since Cyclone's incident. Just as Yuna was about to move forward, a figure silently descended in front of them.
Both Yuna and Tiny, seasoned warriors, were momentarily stunned by how swiftly the person had approached without detection. To their surprise, it turned out to be someone they knew very well.
"Sis... Sister?!" Yuna looked at the woman before them, who just smiled and wiggled her ample bosom.
The strongest assassin of the demons, as well as Yuna's mentor and sister, Himiko of the Seven Sins, appeared before them.
It had been nearly a year since they last parted ways.
Today, Yuna had reunited with Tiny and now encountered her sister, and she marveled at the mysterious workings of fate.
The girls of the Seven Sins were together once again.
"Let me think for a moment... You're going to find your man, Cyclone Theodore, right?" Himiko looked at Yuna and inquired.
And as Himiko posed this question, Yuna instinctively replied with one of her own, "Sis, do you know where he is?"
"Of course, we just chatted a while ago," Himiko answered.
Seeing the concern on Yuna's face, Himiko was momentarily captivated by her sister's worried expression. It was unexpected for her sister to show such emotions, and this brought Himiko a sense of comfort.
That rascal has trained my little sister quite well~
Himiko didn't utter these thoughts out loud but instead turned to Tiny.
"Are you helping Yuna find Cyclone?" She asked with displeasure.
"Kind of forced to," Tiny replied.
"Understood. But there's no need for you to search anymore," Himiko interjected suddenly, leaving both of them speechless.
"I've seen that man already, and if you continue forward, your husband is as good as dead," Himiko warned Yuna, startling her heart. Just as Yuna was about to take a step forward, Himiko continued, "He's not going to die just yet, rest assured. But if you proceed any further, then he really will be in danger."
"But, but...?" Yuna understood that this warning only confirmed the precarious situation Cyclone was in.
Himiko reached out her hand to stop Yuna from advancing, expressing her determination for Yuna to halt.
"Trust your sister. Among all the men I've encountered, your husband is one of the most resolute in willpower."
