Chapter 17: Satoru – My Zanpakutō Must Be Cool Enough
"Cursed Tool Yoru... I was hoping to have this weapon prepared for Satoru."
The elder made his request to Takuya without hesitation. To him, this Cursed Tool should have still been in Takuya's possession.
However, after hearing this request, Takuya suddenly looked uncomfortable. His eyes flickered toward Satoshi several times, and the atmosphere fell into silence.
After being glanced at four or five times, Satoshi finally couldn't hold back.
"Master Takuya, isn't Yoru with you? Since the patriarch is asking for it, just hand it over. I can always forge more Cursed Tools in the future."
Satoshi assumed Takuya was simply reluctant to part with a Grade 1 Cursed Tool, so he urged him to comply.
How could a Cursed Tool master like Takuya refuse the clan leader's direct request?
Yet, instead of responding right away, Takuya's expression grew even more strained.
"Clan Head... Yoru is no longer available."
"What? What do you mean by that, Takuya?"
The elder frowned in confusion.
