Groom (17)

After appearing in that spot in the garden, it didn't take long before the elders and great elder came back.

They came out of the castle and ran over to where we were.

On their faces were looks of shock as they looked at Kyoko, clearly not believing what had just happened.

Going back a bit…

When Kyoko found out that she had been separated from Lin Fan, she had completely lost it.

After her talk with the great elder, she only said a single word.

"Smash."

The way that she had cracked the space that Lin Fan had been in could be considered gentle.

After all, the way that she destroyed the space that she had been trapped in was much more violent.

After she said that word, Hime's club had transformed.

It was still the same spiked club, but the size of it was completely different from before. It grew by several feet and seemed too big for a small girl like Hime.
