"Shido... What about me?"
Tohka pouted and pulled Shido's hand to grab his attention.
She was still unhappy with the fact that Origami sneaked a kiss from Shido, but she also wanted to help. Seeing that Shido had tasked for Origami and Mana but not for her, Tohka somehow felt left out so she puffed out her cute cheeks and asked Shido what she could do.
Shido turned his head on her direction and smiled wryly at her reaction.
The task he had given Origami and Mana was important since it could make them go all out without worrying about injuring people. However, more than that, Tohka is one of the greatest variable that could help them defeat Kurumi since Tohka could control pure energy that could enhance her offensive and defensive capabilities.
Unlike Kotori who is also a close combat Spirit, Tohka was much more experienced in fighting, so adding Tohka to the team to fight Kurumi is the best choice.
"Of course, I also need your help." Shido's smile softened as Tohka pouted and he started caressing her soft purple hair.
"Really?!" Tohka was excited when she know that Shido needed her help, in addition to his patting, Tohka's pouting expression turned into a excited and blissful face.
"Yes, and you have the most crucial and important job."
"Tell me! I would do it no matter what it is!" Tohka felt proud that she was needed. She puffed up her chest and patted it as if she was saying 'leave it to me', showing her beautiful shaped figure.
Shido can't help but admire her figure since it was really too perfect. Still he shook his head since they were in the middle of a dire situation. But Shido decided that he would pamper Tohka so much after this battle.
"It's been a while since you fully used your Spirit Form right?"
"Yeah. Although my current Semi-Spirit transformation allow me to use a portion of my original strength, it is still not enough."
Tohka nodded and gave Shido an answer.
What she said was true, since although her Semi-Spirit transformation gave her Reiryoku that could make her fight. It was not enough, she even hardly defeat Kurumi's clone with her energy blast. This made her so frustrated and wanted to unleash all of her power to show her dominance and stance as the stronger one.
Shido could hear the vexation from Tohka's tone, she was grieving on the fact that she was being bullied by Kurumi's clones and hardly defeat them. Shido patted her head even more so she would calm down.
"Well, you don't have to grieve at it so much since I will release your seal so that you can fight to your hearts content."
"Really?!" Hearing that Shido would release her seal. Tohka was so excited and her eyes turned sparkly. Although Tohka wanted peace and only indulge with food, play games and Shido. Tohka was also fighter so, being able to fight without holding back makes her blood boil.
"Yes, I need your help to defeat Kurumi."
"Okay! Leave it to me!"
"But, don't kill her, okay? It will be bad if you attack her too much." Seeing Tohka's excite Shido quickly added, afraid that Tohka might kill Kurumi for real.
"Geez, Shido. Of course I wouldn't do that. I will only make her pay for playing me with her clones. Hmmp!" Tohka pouted when Shido made those remarks. While she wanted to take revenge for the grievance that Tohka could hardly fought back Kurumi's clone, she hadn't thought of killing Kurumi since she was also a Spirit like her.
And from Shido's words earlier, she understood that Kurumi had a tragic past that made her into what she is now. Like Shido, she also wanted to help Kurumi, save her from her way of living, but before that, Tohka would first take her revenge by beating her until she came to her senses.
"Good. I will remove your seal now."
"Okay!"
Shido saw how excited Tohka was and he smiled. Then his eyes turned serious then opened his mouth.
"Seal, Release."
As he said that Tohka's body reacted. The small amount of Reiryoku on her body increased until it came back to how it was supposed to be before Shido sealed her.
Tohka felt excited feeling this nostalgic feeling of her powers returning to her. When Tohka felt that her seal had been totally unleashed.
Tohka closed her eyes and she channeled her spirit powers before letting out a loud battle cry.
"Spirit dress of God's authority, No 10!"
A huge storm started blowing and a purplish-black lightning bolt fell on Tohka.
After emerging from the lightning bolt, Tohka is now clad in her elegant and heroic spirit armor.
"Sandalphon!"
Tohka stomped the ground and a giant throne broke out from the ground that Tohka stomped on. A giant broadsword is embedded in the middle of the throne.
Pulling the blade out, the throne disappeared while Tohka swing her sword releasing a small wave of energy.
"Are you ready?"
"Un!"
"Alright, let's end this as soon as possible."
...
"Ara? Is this the only thing you can do, Kotori-san?"
After a clash, Kurumi and Kotori separated from each other and kept a distance. Kurumi then spoke in an elegant manner like a rich Ojou-sama. She started to regain the upper hand as they continue to fight.
Although she was overwhelmed at first due to Kotori's strong power, she was too inexperienced so Kurumi used that to her advantage and started to suppress Kotori slowly.
"Heh! Your end is near." Kotori didn't get provoke by Kurumi's words, instead, she smiled strangely at her.
"What are you-" Before Kurumi could finish speaking, she suddenly felt danger behind her.
She tried to dodge to the side but she was still hit by the sword beam that came silently behind her. The impact sent her flying in a distance before she eventually manage to stop herself from flying.
Kurumi's body was riddled with bruises as the sword beam that hit her caused her some significant damage. Fortunately, she manage to avoid being directly hit by the attack or else she might end up in the hospital if she allowed that attack to fully hit her. Although she felt annoyed that someone sneak attack on her, Kurumi didn't panic instead she pointed her flintlock on the number 4 of the clock that suddenly emerged behind her before a dark stream of reiryoku entered her flintlock gun.
"Forth bullet, Dalet!"
Kurumi fired the gun on her head. The injuries that she sustained from the sword beam she took healed instantly.
