After the initial encounter with the Korogumi leader, Shiba joins Chihiro and threatens the former. Moreover, the sorcerer group they were after is named Hishaku. The Hishaku group emerged four years ago in the ongoing timeline and is a small group of elite sorcerers. Chihiro goes on to ask the Yakuza boss about every little detail in the coldest possible manner!
- The Yakuza boss’ body quickly deformed and he turned into a tree-like structure.
- Chihiro commanded Shiba to run away with the rescued person, and the latter used his teleportation sorcery to evade outside.
- The person was shocked and he confessed that he had never witnessed sorcery of this manner before, as the big shots in the sorcery world lived in the big cities and the countryside rarely experienced this menace.
Shiba returns to aid Chihiro and finds him in a sound condition, and the latter starts explaining that the transformation came as an outcome of the story the Yakuza boss was about to narrate. This might’ve been a result of a spell that was activated as soon as the secrets were intended to be let out. After their business was done, Shiba headed back to Tokyo and Chihiro decided to join him. Chihiro had also become surprisingly stronger than he was three years ago, but he still hadn’t unlocked the staggering potential of his enchanted blade.
