Chapter 192: Natsuba Rinrei’s Rage MAX
Natsuba Rinrei looked at Natsuba Hanae’s face.
After being separated at the Natsuba main residence that day, Rinrei had thought of this face day and night, and desperately longed to see it again.
And since she had learned of this meeting, she had been very excited.
Because it meant that her mother would appear at this meeting.
The face Rinrei had thought of day and night would appear before her eyes again.
And she also wanted her mother to… pay more attention to her.
This was also why, just now, she had fought for the statue. She both wanted to obtain the statue and to let her mother know that she was the strongest daughter among all the members of Summer Harvest Mountain.
She was a daughter her mother could turn to, a daughter who could share more of her mother’s responsibilities.
Rinrei wanted to prove herself.
As for Natsuba Hanae, Natsuba Rinrei had always felt a sense of inferiority and guilt towards this little sister.
Because she thought that her little sister was an ordinary person.
Was it because they were born of the same mother, and Rinrei had plundered the ability that should have belonged to her little sister in the womb, and that was why she had the extremely dangerous “Red Dragon” ability, and not two high-risk abilities?
And if her little sister were a very ordinary ordinary person, Natsuba Rinrei’s guilt would not be so severe.
But on the contrary, her little sister’s intelligence was very high.
Hanae’s eloquence was superior to Natsuba Kouryu’s. When Rinrei and her little sister were still weak, she had relied on her little sister’s wisdom and eloquence who knew how many times to avoid being embroiled in the crisis of the Natsuba direct descendants.
And whether it was in illustration, kendo, or archery…
Her little sister’s achievements were all first-rate. If Hanae had obtained an ability, she would have probably instantly brought the control of the ability to its peak.
Her little sister had given her too many surprises and protections.
So, Natsuba Rinrei also wanted to give her little sister protection.
And now, the two of them were in the same force, and Rinrei had finally become an A-rank. She could give her little sister enough protection.
Just in the Natsuba main residence, her own strength, besides Natsuba Genryū, no one else posed a threat to her.
More importantly, it had always been her little sister who had given her a sense of surprise.
And this time, it was her turn to give her little sister this feeling, to give Hanae a good scare.
This was a great joy and happiness for Natsuba Rinrei.
However, when these two people merged in her mind, Natsuba Rinrei’s mentality suddenly collapsed.
The first time she had met someone she had longed for.
And had a chance to surprise her little sister.
Two happy things came together.
And these two joys brought me more happiness.
What I got should have been a dream-like happy time… But why, why did it become like this…
Why are my little sister and my mother the same person, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
Is this reasonable?!!!
This is completely unreasonable, ahhhhhhhh!!!
Natsuba Rinrei only felt that her already very small brain, as if it had experienced the Big Bang, was constantly expanding, expanding, and expanding.
The amount of information in it was almost enough to fill her mind, and it was forcibly expanding her mind.
Based on her own thinking and information, she couldn’t explain the fact that her little sister and her mother were the same person. But this scene had just happened before her own eyes.
As Natsuba Hanae’s twin sister, Natsuba Rinrei was extremely familiar with her. No one knew Hanae better.
Natsuba Hanae’s expression, her scent, the clothes she liked to wear, the figure Rinrei was envious and jealous of, the daily increase in the length of her hair…
Everything about Natsuba Hanae.
However, after Natsuba Hanae had “become” the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain, she had concealed her face, and her aura was all a deathly stillness. The ends of her hair were even dyed with countless Sanctuary Flames.
And Natsuba Hanae was an ordinary person. It was impossible to connect her with an A-rank.
So Natsuba Rinrei had never thought in this direction.
As for…
Was Natsuba Hanae now using her newly acquired ability to disguise herself as their mother?
This possibility, Natsuba Rinrei had also thought of before.
But she had immediately rejected it.
After all, she was also very familiar with the Sanctuary Flame. And her mother’s current strength was above A-rank.
If Natsuba Hanae could imitate the Sanctuary Flame and the aura above A-rank…
Then it meant that Natsuba Hanae’s strength was almost no different from their mother’s.
This possibility was better than just admitting that their mother was Natsuba Hanae.
Natsuba Rinrei’s mind was in a climax. She took a deep breath and prepared to face reality.
Calm——————!
I must be calm!
I can’t lose my composure.
My little sister once said that I must remain rational to deal with everything. To lose one’s rationality is to lose.
My mother also told her something similar. If strength can’t solve a predicament, then I have to rely on wisdom to find a solution.
But…
Why is the person who told me this now the biggest source of my difficulties, ahhhhhh!!
Natsuba Rinrei’s eyes became a constantly spinning empty vortex. The emotions within were full of confusion and unwillingness to accept.
Her pink lips began to open and close unconsciously.
“Little sister… I…………”
“Hmm?”
Natsuba Hanae said softly, and a mysterious light appeared in her red, glass-like beautiful eyes.
Although Natsuba Rinrei was standing at this moment, she seemed to be looking up at Natsuba Hanae. Her legs trembled slightly, and she couldn’t help but go weak. A thin layer of sweat appeared on her head.
She gradually gathered a little of her reason and spirit.
“Hanae…………”
This time, Natsuba Hanae didn’t make any sound.
Instead, she tilted her head slightly, and the lower half of her lips, which were revealed, curved into a half-smile as she looked at Natsuba Rinrei. Her whole body was emitting a tangible black aura, which was very terrifying.
Natsuba Rinrei was suddenly shocked. Her knees completely went weak, and she knelt on the ground, holding back her humiliating tears.
She swallowed for a while.
Then she closed her eyes tightly.
“Mother————”
“Please forgive… my behavior just now!”
As soon as she finished speaking…
A cunning smile appeared on Natsuba Hanae’s lips.
She hooked Natsuba Rinrei’s fair lower lip with her right hand and said softly,
“My foolish daughter, since this is the first time you’ve offended me, and I am merciful, I will forgive your previous behavior and spare you your punishment.”
“Go back to your seat and sit properly.”
“Remember, every time you meet me in the future, you must call me mother, to remember this grace.”
Natsuba Rinrei: “…”
She felt that every time she met Natsuba Hanae in the future, she would have to call her mother. This was already quite a punishment.
Although, in the past, without knowing, she had called Natsuba Hanae “mother” who knew how many times. But not knowing and knowing were two completely different things.
Damn it!
Natsuba Rinrei clenched her right fist.
Thirty years—thirty years—!
Natsuba Hanae’s strength, in Rinrei’s view, was around the peak of A-rank. And her current advancement speed was also exceptionally fast.
In her lifetime, it was not impossible to surpass her.
Rinrei would surpass her, and then she would have Natsuba Hanae call her sister, to repay her current humiliation.
When her strength surpassed Natsuba Hanae’s, she would definitely make Hanae pay a hundred, a thousand times—!!!
She would have Hanae call her “sister” three times every time they met!
No, five times!!
Natsuba Rinrei prepared to get up and leave.
Just then, Chikari Makoto’s clear voice came.
“Aren’t you going to say thank you, Mother?”
Natsuba Rinrei’s eyes narrowed, and she immediately looked over. What she saw was not Chikari Makoto, but a golden retriever panting with its tongue out.
Clearly, Chikari Makoto was taking revenge for the previous beating.
Although on the surface, the two were evenly matched for a while, Chikari Makoto was ultimately still in the B-rank range. And an A-rank was a Red Dragon extremely dangerous ability.
To say she was not damaged was impossible.
What she had suffered was the serious injury of losing a dozen or so strands of hair!
Since she had known that her hair was drastically decreasing, Chikari Makoto’s hair had gradually been given names.
Of course, with Chikari Makoto’s current rank, as long as she didn’t use her hair to fight for a while, it would grow back in a short time.
But unfortunately, what was about to happen was an epic battle, an attack on the Kujō family.
Chikari Makoto was on the verge of tears.
She could only hope that after she advanced to A-rank, she would have a hope of recovery.
To have a move, “no hair is better than having hair, and all things can be hair.”
But now, her hair was indeed damaged by Natsuba Rinrei’s previous battle, so she wanted to take this opportunity to vent a little.
Natsuba Rinrei’s ruby-like beautiful eyes transformed into violent dragon pupils, and she glared at Chikari Makoto.
However, she immediately turned her head.
Her dragon pupils returned to their beautiful eyes, and she said obediently,
“Thank you for your grace, Mother.”
“I will definitely remember it.”
Then, Natsuba Rinrei turned her back to Natsuba Hanae, and her beautiful eyes transformed into dragon pupils again, and she stared at Chikari Makoto. The speed of her actions was the epitome of a face-change.
She took a step.
And slowly walked to Chikari Makoto’s side, and then sat down.
Speaking of which, one of the reasons for the seating arrangement was based on ability.
And Chikari Makoto and Natsuba Rinrei, purely from an ability perspective, were on completely different pages. But if one looked at them roughly…
The two were both strong-attack types.
This meant that they had no fancy tricks. When they went all out, their combat power was at its strongest.
And Chikari Makoto and Natsuba Rinrei’s attack, defense, and speed were all first-rate. And among their abilities, besides Natsuba Rinrei’s one-handed freezing ability that could be used to trick people, the rest were all first-rate and aboveboard.
And Chikari Makoto was the same.
Her ability was originally an extremely powerful attack and speed ability. And with the addition of the Golden Feather, as long as she reacted in time, she could use the Golden Feather to defend, for example, by turning it into a shield.
And thus block a fatal attack.
And with her only weakness eliminated, she became a pentagonal warrior.
And besides the Golden Feather on a certain part of her body having a more outstanding attack, and being able to transform into a supernatural material, to trick people a little, her other attack methods were even straight to the point.
And the martial arts of the Chikari branch were also straight to the point. This could best exert Chikari Makoto’s full strength.
If she were to trick people, it would be a step down.
In reality, an ability also had to be used in accordance with one’s heart. If it didn’t, in a state of hesitation and wavering, the power of the ability would naturally decrease.
The personality of the Chikari branch was generally that of a straightforward battle maniac. So Natsuba Hanae didn’t teach Chikari Makoto the old schemer’s fighting style.
But Natsuba Rinrei was different.
Although Natsuba Rinrei had always had a straightforward fighting style, and had freely displayed her combat talent…
But her combat style, which was buried deep in her bloodline, was not like this.
Although the “Red Dragon” was incredibly powerful, it was not without a bit of cunning.
Of course, to be like Natsuba Kouryu, who had completely reversed the order, and had no trace of a dragon’s majesty, but only cunning from head to toe, was another matter entirely.
Even if the pseudo-Susanoo had forcibly raised Natsuba Kouryu to A-rank, that head-hiding, rat-scurrying fighting style did not exert the full combat power of the “Black Dragon.”
When Natsuba Rinrei had officially taken her seat, on the stone chair made of deathly stillness, on her left and right, a crimson and a cyan flame lit up.
This meant that the person had arrived.
And the remaining empty seat, there was only one left, and that was Kujō Mien’s.
Those present who knew the situation did not speak, and those who did not know the situation also did not speak.
Natsuba Hanae, seeing everyone take their seats, slowly nodded.
And said softly,
“The Kujō family hunting meeting begins.”
“Code name: Blood Devourer.”
“Now, first familiarize yourselves with the general layout of the Kujō family, and assign each of you your tasks.”
“What surprised me was that from the news from Kujō Mien…”
“The Kujō main residence, which is the size of a small city, can actually fly. The Kujō family’s financial power is truly unbelievable.”
Natsuba Hanae slowly explained.
In front of the wide long table, a Sanctuary Flame burned, and from the center, the entire form of the Kujō family rose.
Even the words on a door plaque were clearly visible.
This was something that could only be done with Natsuba Hanae’s extreme control over her supernatural power. She had completely recreated everything about the Kujō family in a scaled-down version.
And Natsuba Rinrei and Chikari Makoto were looking at the Kujō family’s model on the long table with a serious expression.
And under the long table, a pair of long, slender legs, one in black stockings and one in white, were rapidly competing with each other, creating a series of afterimages.
Natsuba Rinrei said through gritted teeth to Chikari Makoto,
“Did you know long ago that Hanae was the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain? Why didn’t you tell me sooner?!”
And Chikari Makoto replied with a smile,
“You actually called Mom ‘Hanae’ again. I’m going to report you!”
Natsuba Rinrei was instinctively angry, but then she panicked. She peeked at Natsuba Hanae and said again,
“Did you know Mother’s true identity long ago? Why didn’t you tell me?!”
Chikari Makoto, who had finally found a chance to tease Natsuba Rinrei, would naturally not let it go so easily.
A cunning smile, of the same origin as Natsuba Hanae’s, appeared on her lips, and she said softly,
“Guess.”
Natsuba Rinrei was constantly evolving, and the cunning of the Red Dragon and the scheming of her mother were being learned by her.
She was no longer angry, but used a goading method.
“You don’t dare to tell me, do you? Because your strength is not as good as mine now, so you’re just using this little secret to laugh at me.”
Hearing this, Chikari Makoto smiled even more deeply. She said casually,
“Yes.”
!!!!!!
She had shamelessly admitted it.
Natsuba Rinrei—rage MAX!
On the path of learning Natsuba Hanae’s personality, Chikari Makoto’s progress seemed to be faster than Natsuba Rinrei’s.
