The crimson princess

Pov Dia,

Sera: "What is our first destination, Yasaka-chan?"

We were all aboard the crimson plane I had created to travel quickly without triggering teleportation detection.

I must admit, humans have made remarkable progress in terms of technology, but it's disheartening to see it so often used for war.

Yasaka: "Given the unstable and crisis-ridden situation we're currently facing, we must go to the Oni immediately—they are our primary armed force."

Despite her sadness, Yasaka adapted impressively to her role as the new leader of the Youkai faction.

Dia: "Now that I think about it, apart from the Sword Oni, there hasn't been another Oni who left much of an impression on me."

Yasaka: "You've met the famous Sword Oni?"

She turned to me with a sparkling look of curiosity.
