Chapter 129: Calming The Fiery Flames
Shido flew into the sky once more as he observe the chaotic flames blazing in the sky.
"Kotori!"
Kotori who was having a hard time controlling her flames moved her head in front of her and saw Shido standing in front of her with worry covering his face.
"I-I'm okay. I am just having a bit of hard time controlling this power." Kotori replied to Shido acting like it was no big deal. She doesn't want to show her weak and dependent side to him in her commander mode.
In her commander mode, Kotori always kept a strong, charismatic and domineering front to cover her real weak personality. That's why Kotori didn't ask for Shido for help after they defeated Kurumi. Instead she kept everything to herself and focused on controlling her flames that is wrecking havoc inside her.
"You're clearly not okay!"
Shido shouted at her, angry that she tried to act alone when he was with her. He gritted his teeth and floated closer to Kotori. The flames that burned uncontrollably on the sky rushed towards Shido as if wanting to devour him but he was still in his Spirit Integration with Yoshino's Ice Spirit power so he could ignore some of those flames.
Still, despite having ice ability, Shido could still feel the burning sensation on his skin but he ignored that and came closer to Kotori since she was his priority right now. Even if his skin started churning black due to the burn Shido would still come to Kotori. Fortunately, he had transformed using Yoshino's Spirit form otherwise, even if he had amazing healing capabilities, Shido would still sustain some injuries.
"Don't..." Kotori could only weakly say those words since she was nearing her limit to became out of control. She was worried that Shido would be hurt by her like what happened 5 years ago that burned the whole Tengu City.
