Chapter
269: 相打ち
Aiuchi
(Mutual Destruction)
Ayame attempts to attack Kagari with the shikigami of the Fox Spirit Needle, however her sister's shikigami reveals itself as a hedgehog and fires off countless needles to counter the attack. The needles stab Ayame, but Nanoka uses Akanemaru to create a shield of blood to protect her from any further injuries. Ayame fights back and uses her own shikigami to imbed needles into Kagari's hand while Mao performs a curse on Kagari's hands, causing them to burst into flame whenever she attempts to touch another needle. Mao hopes this will cause her to be of no further use to the Goko Clan, but Kagari simply laughs his attack off and says that Shiranui will undo the curse. As Kagari escapes, Mao rushes to tend to Ayame's wounds. Ayame asks the attack of the Fox Spirit Needle hit Kagari. When Mao confirms that it did, Ayame says that it will poison her sister, eventually killing her when it reaches her heart. Meanwhile, Kagari clings to her hedgehog as it returns to Hakubi's base. Mei intercepts the wounded girl and tends to her, but the poisonous metal energy is quickly travelling through her body to hear heart. Hakubi wastes no time in ordering Mei to prepare Seeds of Haku to use.
Chapter
270: 無力
Muryoku
(Powerless)
Hakubi directs Mei to use the seed of haku on Kagari to ensure that the curse placed on her by Ayame does not reach her heart and kill her. Mei tells Hakubi that the needle's curse is metal-infused and so he should be the one to exorcise it. However Hakubi says it is too late for him to do anything about it. Hearing this stuns Kagari as she lays in bed suffering slowly as the black lines race up her arm towards her heart. Back at the Hosho family home, Mao treats Ayame's wound as she reflects on the idea that she has had to curse her sister to death. She feels remorse for having to do it, but says she could not tolerate the shame of Kagari becoming an assassin for the Goko Clan. Mao too admits that he feels he has failed in protecting Soma from the Goko Clan. Back at their headquarters, Hakubi asks a weak and dying Kagari what she wants them to do for her. She wheezes and says she wants to live, and Hakubi once again asks for Mei to use a seed of haku. Using the seed, it quickly wraps around Kagari's arm and removes the curse before the vines fall away. Having been saved, Hakubi tells Kagari how proud he is of her for working so hard and surviving. Days later, Mei calls on Sasuga and asks if he can remove the fire curse placed on Kagari's hand that Mao cast to ensure she could no longer handle a needle. Sasuga is happy to try, as he is still angry at Mao for destroying his conch shell. With shocking ease, Sasuga blows on Kagari's hand and lifts the curse, ensuring she can once again use her needle tools. Mei asks Kagari to reconsider putting herself in danger but as she picks up her needle she says that she has to repay her debts to the clan. Meanwhile in a dark and lonely room, Soma, now monstrous in appearance writhes on his bed in pain.
