The Goddess Of War

Chapter 217 - The Assault

Miyuki was still silent in front of the basement door after she locked the door.

He then took a deep breath as he sensed the terrifying magic aura, which he could only feel after he exited the basement. Because as long as he was in the basement, he would not be able to feel the magic energy from the outside because he had installed a means of warding off magic energy. So, the air from any magic energy could not enter or exit the room.

"They're fast. I didn't even get a chance to take Rin away" Miyuki muttered, regretting the circumstances that were about to happen. "Well, if it's like this, what can I do."

Miyuki finally crosses the small room to another door that will take her to Rin's flower shop.

•••

What are you worried about?" miyuki asked as she looked at Rin's worried look at the flowers that filled the room they were in, closing the door behind her.

Rin is almost never absent to water and has her beloved flowers talk every morning as she opens the store and at night before she closes the store.

Even though Rin had left the flowers to the workers in the shop, there would still be no one to bring the flowers to talk like he did.

Given that, of course Rin felt it was very hard to leave 'them'.

"You're sad that no one's going to talk to them?"

Rin turned his head and looked at Miyuki with a surprised look.

Miyuki almost laughs at Rin's cute expression that looks like a child's face while being caught making a mess while being left by their parents alone at home.

"I've seen you talk to them several times" Miyuki said, staring at the 6 flower pots hanging near the wall of the florist.

With a blushing face, Rin bowed in embarrassment.

"You see her?"

"You should not be ashamed. I've heard that flowers grow prettier when someone speaks well to them. You did a good thing." Miyuki said, understanding what Rin's habit is.

In contrast to her treatment of others, including Anna who became her first friend in their 'gang', as well as Gina who always cooked her good food, Miyuki always was friendly and gentle with Rin.

Miyuki also does not treat Rin differently because the girl has just lost her sister. He just felt that people with a soft and innocent aura like Rin should be treated gently as well.

Miyuki had already felt that way from Rin, ever since they first met. It's just that, he himself was a bit closed until then not too willing to talk to Rin.

°°°

"You also know it's Miyu?"

"Little bit. My late mother also loved flowers."

"That's so..."

Miyuki placed a wooden box that was almost the size of her arm on the cashier's desk, near where Rin was standing, then took down a wooden box that was longer than her back and placed it there as well.

"Are we leaving now, Miyu?"

Miyuki stared at Rin for a bit, before turning her gaze towards the entrance of the store. "Wait a little while longer" Miyuki said later.

Seeing Miyuki seem reluctant to leave immediately, Rin sighed carefully, smiling gently at Miyuki's face.

"It's been two years, right?" rin said slowly.

"Yes?"

"You've been here almost two years. You may be a little heavy leaving this place for our travel time for two weeks, just as I was a bit heavy leaving them," said Rin, staring at 6 flower pots.

Miyuki smiled stiffly. Rin seems to be very sensitive to his behavior that is rather agitated at the moment, but Rin misinterprets it.

"You must miss your hometown too, right? It's okay if you have to leave first where you work for a while."

'He's getting a little misunderstood."

Unlike what Rin expected, Miyuki shook her head instead.

"I don't miss him very much. I'm taking you to my country to go to Kyoto, not to my hometown."

Rin nodded slowly, not wanting to discuss it further. He knew, there were types of people who were embarrassed when discussing such things. So she just kept quiet while smiling gently at Miyuki.

"God. His smile grew even stranger" Miyuki thought, replying to Rin's gaze with a lazy look.

At that moment, one of the flower shop employees approached Rin.

"Miss Rin, take a look at this." He said, while thrusting his smartphone at Rin. "It looks like there's an Association army closing down the area of our shopping complex. It's only fitting that our shop has been quiet since this morning."

Rin receives the smartphone, then sees a live broadcast there.

Simultaneously, Miyuki got a phone call as well. However, when he saw Gina who called out to him, he ignored her.

°°°

The live broadcast, initiated by the world's largest news station WABC, was even broadcast by almost all Southeast Asian national television.

The broadcast was even crowded in social media until the employee accidentally saw it while uploading photos of flowers on their flower shop social media account.

However, when they just walked into the store and saw Miyuki at the checkout table, Lucy Logan, one of them, immediately fell silent.

There's something important to say. However, Lucy suddenly forgot what she had wanted to say because she was so panicked.

"What's wrong with your face?" miyuki asked, looking at the pale faces of Lucy and Yola who were still standing quietly by the door.

Lucy finally ran over to Miyuki and seemed to be about to pull her away.

"Miyu, let's go first!"

"Why should we go?" miyuki asked casually while avoiding Lucy's hand that was about to grab her wrist.

"They're looking for you! Let's go first. You didn't know Gina called you so many times?"

"They've already blocked this area, we barely have time!" yola added, also with panicked talk.

"If they block this area, how do you get in?"

"They let us in, so." Lucy stopped her sentence, then looked at Yola in silence.

"They also want to take you with me here. That's why they let you enter this area." Said Miyuki who looked very calm as usual.

"Do you know?" ask Lucy.

"They don't even hide their presence. How do I not know?"

"But why did they even bring a world-class Hunter as well?"

"They wanted to show that they as Takayoshi Sato's close friends and Sato's eldest son, wanted to capture me directly." Miyuki Sahut.

"W-what? You know that already?!"

Miyuki nodded. Before he came out of the basement, Miyuki had seen the news through her smartphone when Gina contacted him repeatedly and ignored him.

"Now let's go first." Lucy forced.

"There's no point in us running away when they've surrounded this area." Miyuki Sahut.

What Miyuki meant was finally understandable to the two girls. In the team that was about to ambush them, there was an SSSS ranked Hunter. A SSS-ranked Hunter, two SS-ranked Hunters and an S-ranked Hunter.

So, they wouldn't be able to escape anywhere unless those people purposely let them go.

"You're gonna turn yourself in?"

"Is there any other option?"

Lucy fell silent. What Miyuki said is true. He and Yola are still S-ranked, while Miyuki herself is still F-ranked. They would definitely not be able to win if they fought against them. Even running they will be overtaken.

"Miyu, at least let's try first while there's still a chance." Yola, who was unwilling to give up, tried to persuade.

While they were still confused, two other Hunters entered the store.

They were bearded men and large-bodied men whom they used to call 'master brewok' and 'master tank', just like the way Anna called Ren's friends.

"We're in contact with Miss Gina to come here." Said the man after seeing Miyuki who should be protected there.

"God. There are two more people who fall into the trap." Miyuki said as she looked at them with a lazy look.

Miyuki then spoke to the store employees. "All of you enter the room" Miyuki asked, pointing to the door of the room where she had left.

"Miss Miyu, don't you have an avatar backup in the lab?" ask the brewok guy. He wished Miyuki had it, but Miyuki immediately shook her head.

"I invested all my magic crystals in Miyu's avatar." Sahut Miyuki later.

Before long, the people Lucy and the man were worried about finally arrived there.

Miyuki immediately pulled up Rin's arm, which was already shaking, to hide behind her and she herself stood in front of Rin quietly.

•••

Jordan Foster who had just opened the door, immediately looked at the man with a condescending look, also with a mocking smile on his face.

"Have you all gathered?" asked Jordan with a wide grin. He was the one who asked for the blockade to be opened so that men berewok and men of large stature, Lucy and Yola were allowed to enter.

Since they were all still ranked A and S, they were certainly no big deal for Jordan.

Jordan then unplugged the glass shop doors, also breaking the glass walls that blocked the movement of the people who came with him.

Afterwards, a small team from the Association broke into the store, bringing in the camera crew from WABC. They immediately scattered to every corner of the store by crashing and destroying the flower shelves are arranged very neatly filled the store, deliberately.

The Hunter-hunters of the Association also deliberately kicked and put away the shelves blocking the camera capture so that they could take excellent pictures of the ambush, without caring for Rin who began to cry when he saw the flower shop in the factories.

It was only after they were all set up inside the store that Fred Watson, the team leader, finally walked into the flower shop.
