"I told you, you've got the wrong person."
Before Sin could grab her, Seele had already drawn her scythe with a chilling finality.
Sin stared at the blade in a daze for a mont before a sharp, jagged laugh escaped her. "Interesting... You actually have the nerve to flash a weapon at now?"
Finishing her sentence, Sin stole a cautious glance at Seele's eyes. Once she confird they hadn't turned red, her arrogance ca rushing back in full force.
"But I like it! This version of you is way easier on the eyes than the one who used to hide behind Bronya's back like a scared little mouse!"
Seele watched Sin, catching the way the girl had nervously scanned her eyes just a second ago. She couldn't help but feel a flicker of amusent.
Just you wait. I'm going to give you the fright of your life in a minute!
"Move." The cold light of the scythe glead in Seele's hands. "I'm going ho. If you keep blocking my path and talking nonsense, I won't be so polite."
"Going where?"
Sin's tone lost so of its mockery, replaced by a rare streak of seriousness. "Co with . Cocolia wants to see you. Anti-Entropy is leagues better than this tiny little St. Freya High. Besides—"
Sin's lips curled into a wicked smirk. "I just heard that shorty on the phone. She's calling Raiden i to co look after you. Judging by the ti, she should be arriving any second, right?"
She's still gunning for i?
Interesting.
Seele decided that after she dealt with Sin, she was going to give her a lesson she'd never forget.
Now, how should she go about it...
"Later, you're going to help ambush that Raiden i. We'll take her back with us, and then!" Sin's eyes flashed with a dangerous, manic excitent. "Once we're back, Mother Cocolia will definitely praise us!"
"Sin Mal, was it?"
Seele slowly lifted her scythe. "You said before that Seele only ever dared to hide behind Bronya?"
"Yeah, so what—" Sin's mouth twitched into a haughty, arrogant smirk, looking every bit the smug villain.
As long as Seele's eyes weren't red, she felt absolutely invincible.
"Then I'll show you right now," Seele's gaze sharpened instantly. "Exactly what the current Seele looks like!"
Before the words had even finished hanging in the air, Seele vanished from the spot.
Sin's pupils snapped shut.
She realized with a jolt of horror that her eyes couldn't even keep up with Seele's movent!
Sin lunged backward in a frantic attempt to retreat, but Seele's azure silhouette was like a ghost, appearing instantly at her side. The blunt end of the scythe's handle slamd heavily into the back of Sin's knee.
Sin's legs buckled, and she went flying forward.
She's this weak?
Seele was actually a bit surprised.
In the records, Sin had once taken down an entire three-person Valkyrie squad by herself. That squad was supposedly led by an A-rank Valkyrie, yet they had been wiped out effortlessly.
But looking at it now...
Seele's own strength must have far surpassed an A-rank; perhaps she was already at the level of an S-rank Valkyrie.
The thought flickered through Seele's mind for only a heartbeat.
Before Sin could hit the dirt, Seele's hand had already caught the back of the girl's collar, hoisting her up into the air.
"What?!"
Sin struggled wildly, trying to strike back, but she couldn't break Seele's grip no matter what she did. She looked exactly like a kitten caught by the scruff of its neck, limbs flailing helplessly!
A kitten with heterochromatic eyes, no less.
"Let go! You dirty cheater!!"
Hearing Sin's screeching insults, Seele's eyebrow arched. She simply carried her over to a nearby roadside bench, sat down, and flipped Sin over her lap, face down and backside up.
"What do you think you're doing!"
"With this little talent, you actually thought you could ambush i? You thought you were taking anywhere?" At this mont, Seele felt imnsely satisfied.
"Bullshit!" Sin's face turned a violent shade of crimson. She continued to struggle, shouting in a mix of fury and deep humiliation, "I just let my guard down! If you've got the guts, fight fair and square!"
"Fair and square?"
Seele laughed. It was a pleasant, playful sound—the laugh of a cat that had finally caught the mouse.
She casually let go. Sin imdiately scrambled away and spun around to counterattack.
But in the blink of an eye, Sin was hoisted by the scruff of her neck again. The longsword she held—which looked suspiciously like her signature weapon from the old school days—clattered to the ground.
Once more, she was hauled back to the bench and pinned across Seele's lap.
"I... I wasn't ready! I totally let my guard down that ti!!"
Sin kept shouting, her voice a cocktail of rage and a growing seed of self-doubt.
"Is that so? Again, then?"
Seele let go once more. This ti Sin scrambled away but had learned her lesson; she didn't rush in blindly. Instead, she watched Seele's movents with wary, guarded eyes.
A mont later, she snatched her sword off the ground and lunged forward again.
Three seconds later.
Seele had her pinned back across her lap, her hands pulled behind her back in a firm lock.
"Had enough?"
"Never!!!"
Hearing Sin's roar—a sound so thick with humiliation she seed on the verge of losing her mind and entering a berserker rage—Seele decided it was ti to start the main event.
She held Sin's bound hands with one hand and raised the other high.
And then—
Smack!
A crisp, sharp sound echoed in the air.
Sin's frantic struggling froze instantly.
Oh~ That felt pretty solid.
Seele's eyebrows shot up. When her palm had landed, there was actually a bit of a bounce!
"You... you hit ?! You actually slapped my butt?!"
Hearing Sin's voice crack with pure disbelief, Seele didn't hesitate. Another slap landed.
"I'll kill you! Ah!!!"
Smack!
"You—!"
Smack!
Every hit gave feedback. Every ti Seele's palm connected, Sin's entire body gave a little involuntary shudder.
"You! You jerk!!" Sin's voice was now laced with a tearful, frustrated whine.
But the mont the words left her mouth, Seele's palm ca down again.
"Let go!!"
"No."
Smack!
As the rhythmic slapping continued, Sin seed to realize how pathetic she sounded. She gritted her teeth and stopped making noise.
However, after another particularly firm strike, she finally couldn't hold it back anymore and let out a sharp cry.
"Ugh—! Stop it!"
"Had enough yet?"
"No!!"
Smack!
This ti, Sin couldn't help but let out a strange, muffled whimper. Seele tilted her head, noticing Sin's trembling shoulders and earlobes that were so red they looked like they might bleed. She gave one more experintal slap.
Smack!
"Ah!"
Wait a second...
Seele sensed sothing was a little off.
Did I accidentally... let my fingers curl a bit when I swung that last one?
Seele felt like her brain was starting to overheat.
She tentatively raised her hand again and let it fall with a heavy thud.
"Mmm!" Sin's body jolted against her legs.
That sound was actually kind of cute... Maybe I should try a few more "curled" ones?
Looking down at the now-quiet Sin, a bold, dangerous thought took root in Seele's mind.
