Chapter 71: The Lonely Loli
Shido's gaze swept across the darkened space as he cautiously scanned his surroundings. Just as his senses heightened, the sharp ring of his earpiece broke the silence, and Kotori's voice echoed through it.
"Shido, can you hear me?"
"Yeah, loud and clear."
Shido kept his eyes fixed on the darkness ahead, waiting for Kotori's instructions.
After discussing the plan on how to conquer Hermit, Shido was transported inside one of the buildings in the shopping district.
After arriving, Shido already used his Obervaion Haki to observe the whole building and found that it was empty except for him who had just arrived.
Although it was dark, he could sense everything inside the building as if it were the back of his own home. He scanned each floor until he found a trace of Yoshino. She was just one floor above him, yet when he observed her carefully, he noticed she was hanging upside down from the ceiling, as if she was playing with herself.
His lips twitched as he wondered why she was doing something as ridiculous as hanging from the ceiling. He was speechless, but when he sensed her emotional state, Shido somewhat felt complicated. Yoshino's emotions were unstable, as if she were scared of something. Thinking about this, he couldn't help but sigh bitterly, questioning why the world was so cruel to Spirits.
Realizing Yoshino was feeling scared, Shido knew that he have to hurry up and go to her as soon as possible before her emotion became too unstable and freeze this whole building.
