Chapter 46 - 44: To Prove Something
"So... Himiko, Hinari, are you ready?" I asked, my voice calm but confident.
They looked at me and gave a small smile, nodding in unison. "Yes."
I raised my hand and snapped my fingers, teleporting everyone to the training field where Jekkob and the others were practicing. As we appeared, Jekkob noticed us and approached, his expression shifting from surprise to curiosity.
"Lady Sumi, you're ba—" He stopped mid-sentence, his eyes narrowing as he took in my appearance. "You look... different?"
As he said that, the mayor and elder gasped, their faces filled with shock. "Huhhhh! We didn't even notice! We were so excited to tell you the news that we didn't see!" they exclaimed.
I gave them a weird smile, then turned back to Jekkob. "Jekkob," I said, gesturing to the twins, "we're going to have a mock battle. Can you move everyone to a safe distance?"
His eyes widened in surprise. "Oh... so finally, they're going to fight you. Looks like they're finally getting their chance." He glanced at the twins with a knowing smile before turning to the others and shouting, "Warriors!!! Step back!! Lady Sumi and the twin sisters are going to have a mock battle!"
As his voice echoed across the field, the warriors looked at us in shock and surprise. Slowly, they began to move away, creating a wide berth. Gearor, Aurthor, Yooto, Lunara, and the others also stepped back, their eyes fixed on us.
I turned to the twins, my smile unwavering. "Ready?"
They nodded silently, stepping back to create distance between us. Once they were far enough, they stopped and exchanged a glance. In a soft voice, Himiko whispered, "Sis, are you ready...?"
Hinari nodded, her voice equally quiet. "Yes, sis... let's do it. Let's prove to her that..."
