"Shinobu's... Shinobu..."
"Hey, Shinobu..."
Shinobu received a few soft pats on her cheeks, she opened both her eyes and saw Koizumi who was trying to wake herself up in this sunny morning.
"M...?"
"Good morning, it's time to continue the journey towards the kingdom of Leonia..." Koizumi helped Shinobu to sit down.
Among the five rebellious girls, only Shinobu is difficult to wake up because yesterday she spent quite a long time in such cold weather while fighting Tauros.
He rested at three o'clock in the evening, his instincts still alert until he did not get a good sleep as usual until he was difficult to wake up this morning.
He also used to stay up until he always got up at nine to work and write as usual, he just wanted that he was on a rebellion mission to wipe out the Zodiac Crusaders.
"I-Sorry..." Shinobu lowered her head while scratching her hair, and chuckled softly as Koizumi continued to try to wake her little cousin for ten minutes.
"It turns out you're also difficult to wake up... Was it hard yesterday to sleep until the storm kept waking you up?" Ask Koizumi.
"Anuuu.. This extreme storm was caused by the Taurus knight.I myself fought him at three in the morning, it was quite difficult but I succeeded..." Shinobu.
They were all stunned when they heard Shinobu fighting alone at three in the morning in the extreme weather which was capable of causing her unbalanced health.
Koizumi put on a worried look because she initially thought Shinobu was seriously injured but she looked ordinary because of her light ability.
Every sunrise and radiate its light then Shinobu body will return to perfection and choose.
"Knight Taurus. So he caused the weather yesterday huh?"
"It just so happens that we also cross paths with another knight, the Gemini knight." Koizumi stood up and helped Shinobu to get up and get out of the hole.
"Sister as well yes.Taurus knight's ability is quite annoying if I have to be honest, he can manipulate the weather as he pleases using false clouds that continue to spread."
"It seems like every zodiac knight has a pet that symbolizes the zodiac itself just like that Taurus knight once let go of a bull to attack me."
"The bull was very strong.I saw him destroy a mountain with that collision." Said Shinobu who saw some bandages attached to Koizumi's body.
"Sister's hurt... A-Is the Gemini knight difficult...? Anuu... What kind of ability does he use?" Ask Shinobu curiously.
"His ability is quite strong.just that he has his own domain, the dream world, can be said to control all dreams."
"The two little girls didn't pick the wrong target..."
"...they know that trapping Konomi and Ako is bad movement because they can use the spirit's ability to escape the world and fight the twins."
"Luckily we succeeded thanks to the help of Hinoka." Koizumi looked at Hinoka who was washing her face until she started playing around with the two brothers.
"I see, the world of dreams, what a pity. If only I woke up and realized it then The Mind would set you free." Shinobu lowered her ear, regretting that she could not help.
Koizumi stroked Shinobu's head, "Help is limited, Shinobu, don't always think that help will always be there and can be done."
"You're fighting the Taurus knight, aren't you? Seeing you win until you beat Tauros makes me proud." Koizumi patted Shinobu's head slowly.
"Where is he now?" Ask Koizumi.
"I threw him out of space..."
"Ehh?" Koizumi put on a shocked look when she heard Shinobu had managed to finish her enemy without giving her the usual pity.
"You finished your job...?"
"Hm~ Mama told me to spend those who have upset you, Koneko felt very upset and frustrated when enduring the cold..."
"...without thinking twice, I hit him right out into space, maybe he's still hurtling through space that doesn't have any restrictions." Shinobu chuckled while moving her tail.
"That word... has Shinobu's power reached [Universal Level] within four years...?" Koizumi is shocked by the enemy she launched into space.
Shinobu stepped towards the lake to wash her face, she saw Ako who greeted herself with good morning until Shinobu answered her with a gentle smile.
"Konekooo~" Hinoka began to wash Shinobu's face with the river water until she chuckled and then retaliated by moving her tail to imply water on her.
"Te-he~ You finally woke up too huh... Koizumi tried to wake you up for ten minutes.It turns out that the cat did sleep that long huh."
"I'm sleepy.. ahahaha..." Shinobu chuckled softly, she saw the bandage attached on her body as well.
Shinobu immediately remembered about the healing ability that could help them recover their wounds, she began to hold Hinoka's hands together.
"mmm? Wh why? Want a kiss?" Hinoka asked who started to approach her face but Shinobu directly blocked her face using her tail.
"Ti-No...!"
"Sunshine!"
Shinobu instantly recovered all of Hinoka's injuries with the ability of sunlight, Hinoka was shocked instantly as he got a recovery that felt so light.
"It turns out that recovery magic isn't bad either ya~ thank you, Koneko~" Hinoka stroked Shinobu's head then she saw Koizumi approaching them.
"Shinobu..." Koizumi stretched out her right arm, Shinobu started to clasping both of their hands to give the blessing of the sunlight.
"Sunshine!"
Koizumi and Hinoka were getting enough recovery to continue the journey for a few hours, their movements also felt lighter than before.
"Then we will begin the journey to the next kingdom..." Koizumi exclaimed so much that he saw Shinobu begin to recover the condition of the two brothers.
"Sister, we don't need a horse to speed up the journey..." Shinobu started pointing at all the trees she saw.
All the gold leaves formed five horses that were ready to ride, they were all impressed to see Shinobu can create animals with the leaves.
"Uwahhhhh!" Hinoka started clapping, the ability of leaf manipulation turned out to be quite useful under certain circumstances.
It was just that the durability he possessed could have been shattered even faster by the powerful fire magic, Shinobu started to climb onto the top of the most middle horse then he gave him a swab in the head.
"I didn't expect you to be able to do leaf manipulation so far, great as well..." Koizumi started riding her horse while looking at Shinobu.
"Grandmother taught me about gold leaf magic because the ability I mastered perfectly was only leaves while light through sunlight."
"Anu... I also want to be able to use Crimson magic..." Shinobu chuckled softly until she received another compliment from Konomi, Ako, and Hinoka which made her face flushed red.
"Are you able to..create something greater than this, Shinobu?" Ask Ako.
"Mm~ Can... it's just that. requires a strong imagination..."
"It's great, yes, I'm sure you when you grow up can create one planet using only gold leaves.
"E-Did?!"
Koizumi could only keep quiet while watching Shinobu, "Sometimes she will definitely be the toughest rival I face."
"Just like the relationship you have with your rival Shinobu's father, Shiratori Shuan, I will continue that winning sequence to boast about him..." Koizumi felt motivated to get stronger.
"Then, let's go as fast as we can." Koizumi started running the horse.
Their journey back in the beginning, this time their main goal was just to go visit the kingdom of Leonial to eradicate all the Knights of the zodiac and find out who hired them.
The witch behind all this is still mysterious, Koizumi hopes to find out her name or a little identity so that her curiosity can disappear.
Their journey went quite smoothly for hours, every kingdom they visited was met with their fate of ending.
They all killed all the residents inside while Shinobu freed all the hostages alone, only the four rebel girls completed their rebellion.
Hinoka ended it by turning all the buildings within the kingdom into a huge explosion until they walked forward with the horse they were riding on without seeing the explosion behind.
History tells us that Legends that do not see explosions and go forward are the coolest Legends in all of history.
"It's weird that we haven't crossed paths with the other knights yet." Konomi started talking.
"Be careful, stay focused and don't even bother with anything because their abilities are very mysterious and unique." Answer Koizumi.
"The point is that we must still pay attention to our surroundings, hopefully the ability of the remaining zodiac knights is not difficult."
"As I recall, there are still two four surviving knights, one of whom chose the venom ability of the scorpion..."
"...the invisible ability..."
"...Witches with mysterious magical abilities..."
"...as well as Knights who can teleport."
"Four of which you know yes, Koizumi..." Ako said, he will remember the four knights and find a way to defeat them.
"I've fought them before, can be said to be strong enough that you have to keep the defense so as not to be fooled by their attacks."
"The essence of invisible knights and scorpions is my prey..." Koizumi clenched both of her fists, holding a grudge as she did not finish her prey.
"Seven knights are left."
Shinobu starts talking because she finds out through Tauros's mind, who gets a notice from Leon.
"Seven knights yes..."
"...we're close to eradicating them all!"
***
"Gemu and Gumi are dead, poor little girl, it turns out Koizumi does not look at opponents like anything."
Leon spoke while moving his muscles, he was already preparing to face the person he wanted Shinobu, Leon was staring out the window while putting on a serious look.
"Five fallen knight's lives.in a moment, the zodiacal constellation.. five..." Leon looked back, seeing that all the knights had gathered while kneeling.
"Stop them all.if you can bring Shinobu to me or let the journey she faces run smoothly until she is the only girl to visit this kingdom."
"You're free to kill anyone among the four girls except Shinobu?"
""Ready, leader!""
"Don't let us disappoint a witch who has paid us to do her job, we as Knights of the zodiac should be able to boast!"
""Yes!!!""
"Any abortion is not worth it to us as Legends and Knights, your lives will live in my body..."
"... your sacrifices will not be in vain..."
"those who are dead have lived in me with a constellation...!" Leon cried until his body issued the emblem Gemini, Cancer, Taurus, Aries, and Aquarius.
"The Legends Never Dies...!!!" Leon Seru.
""LEGENDS NEVER DIES!!!""
