Elsa didn't know what had happened last night; from her perspective, it was highly likely that ili had t with misfortune.
She knew that Yuji Itadori's strength was imnse.
However, Elsa hadn't expected him to be powerful to this extent.
Sensing sothing unusual about the forest, Elsa had gone to scout the surrounding area.
As a result, she saw nothing but corpses everywhere.
Those were the Witchbeasts of the forest, looking as if they had been shredded by thousands of slashes.
And it wasn't just one or two; it was dozens of beasts, and the range was terrifying.
All Witchbeasts within a radius of several hundred ters had been completely eradicated, yet the trees and flowers remained perfectly unhard.
Just how was this accomplished?
Elsa rembered that when she first fought Yuji Itadori, there seed to be undetectable Slashing Attacks surrounding his body, forming a sort of Barrier that made it impossible for her to land an attack.
Even Yuji Itadori's fists had caused issues for her body's Regeneration.
She had never encountered an enemy like this.
And now, Elsa realized that when he fought her, Yuji Itadori hadn't even used his full strength.
Who on earth was this man?
Looking at Elsa in front of him, who was prepared for a desperate struggle, Yuji Itadori's tone was very calm:
"Don't worry, ili is fine."
In their previous encounters, Elsa had seed like a madwoman who only cared about slaughter and disregarded everything else.
But looking at her now, even The Bowel Hunter had soone she cared about.
"The reason I knew you were here is because ili told ."
"What?"
A flash of confusion crossed Elsa's eyes.
"I killed the Witchbeasts, but I didn't lay a hand on ili. I hid her identity and sent her to Roswaal's Mansion to ensure her safety."
Yuji Itadori paused for a mont, then continued,
"ili told about your Assassin Organization and Mother. Your mission failed; you'll surely face punishnt from Mother if you return to the organization. If you don't return, the organization will hunt you down. Correct?"
Elsa didn't answer imdiately; she just looked at Yuji Itadori aningfully, seemingly deep in thought.
Beside him, Natsuki Subaru's breathing gradually beca labored; he didn't know what was about to happen next.
At that mont, Elsa suddenly withdrew her weapons.
"It seems ili really did tell you these things. Has that child actually co to trust you?"
Elsa knew that these were matters only ili was privy to.
"Allowing a child to walk such a path is the fault of the adults."
Yuji Itadori's expression grew increasingly stern.
"I truly am an incompetent older sister, but this is my way of life. This is all I can teach her."
Elsa shrugged, her tone indifferent.
"If soone can look after that child and keep her safe from the organization's pursuit, that's not bad. After all, if it were just alone, I could manage, but if I had to bring her along, I might not have much strength to spare~"
"Rest assured, I made a promise to protect her safety."
"Well, that's wonderful. With your strength, the people from the Assassin Organization certainly won't stand a chance~ However—what's the catch for helping her despite our past? Do you want to do sothing? Kill soone for you? Or perhaps sothing else~ I don't mind, you know. You're quite the type I fancy."
Elsa's eyes projected a playful gaze as they landed on Yuji Itadori's face, as if she wanted to catch every micro-expression.
But Yuji Itadori rely said slowly, in the calst tone possible—
"Does helping others require a reason?"
"Oh?"
This answer caught Elsa slightly off guard, but she soon broke into a smile again.
"I didn't expect you to be such a softhearted fool. No wonder you showed rcy~"
"I told you, I simply believe I have no right to judge the life or death of others. Of course, I won't allow anyone to harm my companions either. I hope that from now on, you won't go around killing innocent people. If possible, I also hope you'll secretly protect the safety of Subaru and the others."
"You're telling not to kill people at random? That's quite difficult~ I'll go a long ti without any bowels to play with then."
Elsa narrowed her eyes and shook her head, her gaze falling back onto Natsuki Subaru's face.
"But, since that child ili can live well with you all, it doesn't matter~ In any case, I can't go back to the organization now."
Natsuki Subaru swallowed hard. He couldn't forget the scene of Elsa killing him the first ti.
However, if he could bring Elsa into their camp, it might bolster the strength of Emilia's faction, and they might better uncover who had been plotting against Emilia!
"But little brother, if there's soone you want killed, just tell . I'd be very happy to oblige~"
"Senior Itadori just said we can't kill people at random!"
"I have a few more questions for you."
Yuji Itadori took a step forward, standing right in front of Elsa.
Elsa could feel that Yuji Itadori's aura seed to have changed.
However, her face still carried that suggestive smile:
"Please, go ahead. If it's about killing soone, that would be wonderful~"
"I want to know more about Mother and your Assassin Organization."
"Eh? Why do you want to know those things?"
"Because they shouldn't exist."
Yuji Itadori's tone remained devoid of any fluctuation, as if he were stating sothing that was destined to happen.
"The Assassin Organization has existed for a very long ti, you know. Others have tried to wipe it out before, but in the end, they were the ones who were destroyed instead—"
Elsa looked closely at Yuji Itadori.
Even now, she couldn't see through the person before her.
Not just his thoughts, but his power as well.
But Elsa could catch a glimpse of sothing surging within his deep, unfathomable eyes.
Why did the man before her care so much about the Assassin Organization and Mother?
From his appearance, Yuji Itadori shouldn't have known about the organization's existence previously, nor had he any contact with them, and it was even less likely that he had t Mother.
Why was Yuji Itadori so obsessed with this?
Elsa didn't know, but she thought it might be more interesting this way.
"However, if it's you, perhaps you really can do it~ When the ti cos for you to truly make a scene, please bring along. I'd be very happy to accompany you while you raise so hell."
The smile on Elsa's face widened further.
