So, the members of the Hanakaiin branch rarely make such a choice.
Especially those with the potential to challenge the main family.
For the first time, Hanakaiin Rō sized up Hanakaiin Haru with a serious gaze.
"Have you already decided to give up on the main family?"
Hanakaiin Rō asked.
"Heh."
"Are you serious asking that question? Don't you find it laughable?"
Hanakaiin Haru scoffed coldly.
Hanakaiin Rō fell silent momentarily, shaking his head slightly before striking again.
This time, Hanakaiin Rō seemingly teleported behind Hanakaiin Haru, raising his hand to grab at Haru's back.
Fast!
Far faster than Hanakaiin Haru had imagined!
But, the Dogheaded Swordsman was even faster!
"My dear friend! I will protect you!"
Turning swiftly with his blade, the long sword met Hanakaiin Rō's outstretched hand.
Clang!
The clash of metal sounded as Hanakaiin Rō retreated, but the Dogheaded Swordsman followed like a shadow, slashing relentlessly.
Clang! Clang, clang!
