"..."
Body usage rights again!
Sakurajima Mai and Kato gumi both turned to look at Rei Ao. Unable to hold back, Sakurajima Mai asked directly, "Aya Yomogawa... she's a woman too, isn't she?"
Rei Ao rolled his eyes. "Of course, I'm not into n."
"Tch, being a pervert isn't much better than that!"
She snapped back, her tone filled with frustration.
What bothered her was Rei Ao's promiscuous behavior—ready to engage in *that* kind of thing again. Even though she already knew about Saeko Busujima, suddenly having another person in the mix irritated her. After all, a pervert is still a pervert!
"Ugh, I'm not arguing with you. You two do whatever you want. I'll be back soon."
And with a quick *whoosh*, he vanished.
"He really disappeared!"
Kato gumi waved her hand where Rei Ao had just been, but only felt empty air.
Sakurajima Mai, seeing world-hopping for the first ti, was curious for a mont, but then she sneered.
"Hmph, rushing off like that... his mind's probably full of dirty thoughts."
Kato gumi glanced over at Mai, her calm gaze seemingly seeing right through her.
Suddenly, she asked, "Sakurajima Mai, do you... like Rei Ao?"
"Eh?"
…
Iwato Station:
"Aya-sama, we can't protect these people any longer. You must escape first."
Kurusu, the young and powerful samurai, spoke. He was highly valued by the Yomogawa family and close to Aya Yomogawa herself.
However, making such a statent in front of everyone was putting Aya in a difficult position.
The crowd imdiately erupted in panic. "What are you saying? Is Aya-sama going to abandon us?!"
Panic spread among the people.
"Everyone, I have never intended to abandon you. It is the duty of the Yomogawa family to protect the people of Iwato Station," Aya quickly reassured them, stepping forward to calm the situation.
"But, Aya-sama..."
Kurusu was about to protest again, but Aya silenced him with a sharp glare.
Aya was disappointed. If Kurusu continued down this path, he could drag everyone into despair. She couldn't understand why soone as wise as Kurusu would suggest such a thing. Now, more than ever, they needed unity, not discord.
She could only hope that the trade she made would indeed bring help.
They wouldn't last much longer.
Just then, a spirited girl wielding two steam rifles stepped forward.
"I'll clear the way for you."
"Mui?" Aya blinked in surprise.
This girl had been a guest of her father's and was known only by the na "Mui." Beyond that, Aya knew little about her.
"Save your strength; this is my battlefield now," said a voice, disrupting Mui's preparations.
The crowd turned to see a man, dressed in oddly out-of-place clothing, casually walking toward Aya.
Kurusu imdiately pointed his steam rifle at him, demanding, "Who are you? Who allowed you to approach Aya-sama?"
But before he could finish speaking, *boom!*
A powerful gust of wind sent Kurusu flying. He crashed into a wooden post, breaking it and falling to the ground, bleeding profusely and losing consciousness.
Rei Ao calmly withdrew his foot and glanced at Kurusu with cold indifference, as though the samurai were nothing more than a botherso bird.
"I hate it when people point guns at . If it happens again, you'll die."
"!!!"
Everyone behind him was stunned by the sudden turn of events.
Mui's pupils contracted. Even after unlocking her Kabaneri restraints, she hadn't been able to catch his movents.
'Is he also a Kabaneri?' she thought.
"Your man insulted . So, before completing the trade, I'll take a little interest first."
Aya Yomogawa was still reeling from shock when Rei Ao suddenly grabbed her chin and kissed her forcefully.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
That was Aya-sama! How dare he?
"Aya-sama!!!" one of the samurai shouted, raising his gun.
But Aya quickly raised her hand to stop him.
She could sense that Rei Ao would not hesitate to kill anyone who pointed a gun at him again. The samurai were essential for their defense; she couldn't afford to lose them over sothing like this.
It was just a kiss, after all.
She had already traded away the usage of her body, so she had ntally prepared herself.
But… the next mont, her eyes widened.
This wasn't a simple kiss—it was deep and intense.
A few monts later, Rei Ao released her, leaving her panting and flushed.
He licked his lips and smirked. "Interest collected. Ti to get to work."
…
[Ding! Trade initiated, live broadcast now starting!]
Rei Ao walked to the front of the group, ignoring their stunned expressions.
Looking down the street ahead of them, the path was chaotic, filled with Kabane feasting on the bodies of the dead.
"Hey, do you need my help?" Mui asked, guessing that Rei Ao might be a Kabaneri. After all, even Kabaneri were stronger than normal humans, but she doubted he could handle that many Kabane alone.
"Heh."
Rei Ao let out a laugh of disdain.
"If I need help with trash like this, my power is worthless."
He slamd his right foot into the ground.
*Crack!*
The others barely registered the sound of sothing breaking.
The next second, an overwhelming wave of cold air burst out, spreading rapidly from one end of the street to the other.
"Huff..."
Everyone gasped in shock, their breath visible as it condensed into mist.
They stood there, mouths agape, staring at the sudden transformation—an entire street turned into a world of ice.
