On the other side.

The young woman had some impression of the girl in front of her, although they did not battle on the plane, they had seen each other in the cabin.

She remembered the person Boy knew, although the girl's current attire caught the young woman's attention, what caught her attention most was her hair, right?

She remembered that her hair was tied up in the cabin, but now...

it was loose, though she didn't understand why, it was quite intriguing...

Though confused inside, the young woman didn't show it, and instead spoke in a calm tone.

"Oh... This young girl, it seems we are meeting for the first time."

"Yes."

"Well, although I have a lot to say to the young lady, time does not permit, we can talk another time."

With that, the watery blade appeared out of nowhere again and swiftly attacked Hiyori.

"No way."

But in the next moment, a fierce gust of wind swept by, dispersing the water blade once again.

"It's not just this."

"Oh?"

The young woman's smile puzzled Arashikaze Manami, but she quickly noticed something strange.

The golden-haired girl accompanying her was nowhere to be seen.

Could it be...

Arashikaze Manami hastily shifted her gaze towards Holy Heir not far away.

Anyway, as long as she aimed at the target firmly, there was no need to worry about anything else.

Thinking so, the girl infused power into her right foot. Although this was a bit unnecessary, since ordinary people could not withstand her attacks, there was no need to hold back now, aiming for a one-shot kill, even if she went a bit harder.

It's over.

After confirming the target was within her attack range, the girl delivered a horizontal kick towards the target's head.

But in the next moment.

"What?"

Suddenly, a figure in a red and white shrine maiden outfit appeared in front of her, leaving the girl astonished. Realizing this, a white light flashed from above.

"Tch..."

Ordinary people might not see what it was, but the girl knew.

Helpless, the girl had to twist her body aside.

Then.

"Boom—"

With a booming sound, the previously undamaged ground suddenly cracked.

If she had reacted a bit slower, she would have ended up like the ground.

"No choice, I'll deal with you first."

As the ground cracked, the girl's figure disappeared once again, with no other tricks, a straightforward and simple frontal attack, despite that, the speed and power were impeccable, and there was no need for any feints.

Aiming for the head of the girl standing in place with a knife, the girl put all her strength into a fierce kick.

But what followed was...

"What?"

Faced with her swift attack, the girl who had just remained motionless slightly tilted her head to dodge.

Next, the side kick followed.

"Tch..."

Unable to dodge, the girl crossed her hands to block the incoming kick.

It was not easy at all, the force was far greater than she had imagined.

After being hit, the girl's body naturally flew out.

"Gah—"

But she didn't fly far, nor did she fall, only sliding a few meters before coming to a stop.

The previous attack was nothing to the girl, being kicked away was only because there was no point of leverage in the air.

But these were not the focus, the most crucial thing was...

This guy... is more powerful than before.
