Chapter 273

"～R-really? Is there really something there?"

Her voice began to tremble.

Even with all she had experienced, encountering such a bizarre event for the first time still left her unable to help but feel a sense of horror.

And...

Yukino was going to fight something invisible?

She looked at Yukino, her eyes filled with worry.

Then, she saw cold air erupt from Yukino, and snowflakes began to drift down from mid-air.

"Eh?"

Yukinoshita Haruno was completely dumbfounded.

But Yukinoshita Yukino's movements continued.

She waved her slender hand forward, and the falling snow around her was blown by a gust of wind, flying forward in unison.

The Grade 2 Curse had just tried to dodge when it was illuminated by Yotsuba Miko's Spirit Mirror, leaving it stunned in place.

Curse: "..."

Crack, crack—

The ice and snow made contact with the Curse's body, instantly covering it like a bone-eating poison!

An ice sculpture suddenly appeared beneath the old apartment building.

Yukinoshita Haruno stared blankly at the scene before her, feeling as if she were living in a dream.

This was just too unreal!

Yukino, had she really turned into Yukino?!

And...

She cast her gaze down at the ice sculpture.

Although she could barely make out a distorted shape.

It was as if some monster were frozen inside, but...

She couldn't see it!

Yukinoshita Yukino ignored her sister, stepped toward the ice sculpture, and gave it a light touch with her fair hand.

Bang!

The ice sculpture instantly turned into powder!

Along with the Curse inside, it vanished into thin air.

Yotsuba Miko watched with a hint of envy.

She wanted such a cool ability too...

After resolving the Curse, Yukinoshita Yukino walked up to Yukinoshita Haruno and said calmly, "Sister, the commission is finished."

"..."

Seeing her sister lost in shock, unable to return to her senses for a long time, Yukinoshita Yukino sighed helplessly.

She could understand this emotion.

After all, she had walked this path herself.

Sister probably needed some time...

She walked past Yukinoshita Haruno, preparing to continue grinding experience with Yotsuba Miko.

Slap!

Suddenly, Yukinoshita Yukino's arm was pulled.

Yukinoshita Yukino turned back in surprise to see her sister smiling at her with effort, saying, "Yukino, this time, you walked ahead of me."

Yukinoshita Yukino pursed her lips and said nothing.

Sister...

You are still the more impressive one...

To have come out of it so quickly.

Much stronger than she had been at the time.

"Go on, Yukino, I have some things to attend to."

Yukinoshita Yukino gave her a worried look, then silently left.

She couldn't help her sister with anything.

It had been that way since they were children.

After Yukinoshita Yukino left, Yukinoshita Haruno's expression became uncertain.

Then, with lingering fear, she looked at the old apartment building behind her, and goosebumps broke out all over her body.

She shivered and hurried away from the place.

On the way back, Yukinoshita Haruno's face returned to its usual warm appearance.

This was an opportunity!

It was an opportunity for their Yukinoshita family!
