Kensumi shifted his body, blocking Yatagarasu Akiryu's gaze.
"Step back,"
Upon hearing his words, Yuuki Nao bowed her head and quickly disappeared from the room.
Yatagarasu Akiryu said nothing, only looking at Kensumi with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
"Michihiro Morita has succeeded, he has forged a weapon that meets the requirements, and the rest is much simpler."
"So... you should be clear about why I'm here,"
Kensumi's gaze dropped slightly, "My Guardian Spirit has already been returned... I have nothing now."
"Don't you know? The Guardian Spirit extracted from you was one of the raw materials used to forge that weapon. Wielding the sword yourself, you are sure to unleash all of your father's strength."
"That's why we need you."
"We need you to willingly grasp that sword."
"Heh," Kensumi let out a cold laugh.
"You've taken away my power, and now you want to strip away my dignity as well?"
He lifted his head.
