Chapter 101: Uninvited guest
"Please save us!"
"That girl is crazy!"
The three hooligans, previously ensnared by Kurumi's shadows, wasted no time scrambling on the side the moment Shido arrived. However, Kurumi paid them no mind anymore. Her golden eye shimmered with excitement as she focused entirely on the figure before her.
Shido, now in his true Spirit form, stood like an ethereal guardian, his black-and-white armor radiating a divine glow, the floating halo behind him adding to his otherworldly presence.
Kurumi's lips curled into a delighted smile. She couldn't help but be captivated by his elegant yet majestic form.
No matter how many times she witnessed this side of him, it always left her in a daze. A quiet sigh escaped her lips as she thought to herself feeling ecstatic, 'Ah~! Ah~! Ah~! How breathtaking.~! Shido-san~!'
Seeing that Kurumi had momentarily lost interest in her prey, Shido shifted his gaze toward the three scumbags who had narrowly escaped death at her hands.
Relief washed over their faces as they saw him turn toward them. They believed they had been saved, that this divine-looking figure had come to rescue them from the monster before them.
However, what they didn't realize was that their so-called savior was far more terrifying than the one they had just escaped.
"Thank you for saving us!" One of the hooligans exhaled in relief, genuinely grateful for what seemed like an intervention on their behalf.
However, Shido's response was far from what they expected.
