They usually would accept strong people like Yuhi, but the situation is different because of his background.

"May I also say something Sumire-sama?"

"Now look here, server girl. .."

She already knew that the one to leak out everyone's thoughts is this girl—this young and naive fool. However, she wants to prove that she doesn't discriminate by status, but she must remain composed.

"What is it?"

"So to put it simply.." She trails off, "There are many who dislike the current situation with you two dating. Everybody thinks that at this rate, that dirty blood of unknown origin will infect you."

She already knew that people thought this way because Yuhi does not have a family. When she stepped foot in this society, it did not take her long to realize how important family was. No, it is not as though these people treasure their family. What is important to them is the level of prestige each family holds. Such things as family ties do not concern them.

They scorn and look down on Yuhi because of his origin, and his level is unknown. Sumire increased the grip on her blade. She felt several pricks due to the thorns on the blade, but that didn't matter to her. Calm down, control - but no matter how many times she repeated this, her anger would not vanish.

"They want to cause a riot and come between you two. But since you're so overprotective, they decided to attack when he is alone."

So they have not heard of Huan's existence yet. Sumire knew that Atushi and the others were taking measures to think that not even these people know. If they hear of Huan, they will most likely change their target. For them, it is important who she ends up with due to her blood.

She already knew this is what others thought. But despite knowing this, she felt terrible hearing it in person. Why do people look down and underestimate Yuhi like that? Why do they look at him with such cold eyes? So what if he doesn't know who his family members are. Family doesn't make a person.

Yuh is Yuhi. These people are inhumane.

What empty and cruel words, they don't have a hint of compassion in them. Then again, what did she expect? These people have lived in the shadows this entire time. It's normal for them to resent those people who are not like them.

"Be quiet," Sumire spoke up. The black aura around her appeared again. She could no longer hold back her anger.

The dark aura grew stronger, and she felt the power leak out from her body, a menacing and deadly look in her eyes. These people do not deserve to live; they do not deserve to see another day.

She is no longer in Star Town, but she knew that person kept a close eye on her. So no matter what she does here, nobody will find out. If she massacres everybody in this room, nobody will know.

"S--Sumire-sama." The girl who was acting haughty just now seemed different. She spoke in a frantic voice. Panic and fear mixed in.

"Unfortunately, that seems to be precisely the case." A stream of red and violet came out of her fingers, forming a huge ax blade surrounded by butterflies. "You mustn't throw away lives carelessly since they will end by my hands."

Sumire understood that Yuhi would still involve himself in this no matter what. But she does not want to give these people the satisfaction of finding another issue with Yuhi. Then again, it is not much of an argument. Even if Yuhi went ahead and did the same thing as her, he had every right to do so.

There is a single simple rule in this society, after all. The strongest are at the top of the food chain no matter what their background is. Before Sumire could use her blade, however, somebody stepped forward and called out to her.

"You're as frightening as always. The young daughter of Bianca." A mocking voice said.

Sumire deeply sighed and turned to spot a man with spiky grey hair and almond colored eyes.

"Kurogane."

Kurogane Kuga, an information broker she often interacted with in the past. Quite some time has passed since she last saw him.

"Care for a drink?"

Sumire deeply sighed and put her weapon away, which dissolved into thin air, and joined him at the bar area.

To conduct their business in the very same place where she had just threatened to kill them all hardly seemed appropriate. Even now, she could feel it.

A deep fear has been engraved in her skin, the fear of everyone in this room. The words of a pure hanyou princess can truly shake the world.

Even if she only learned about her abilities just recently, she understands her role. It all made sense now, the reason why she felt so isolated this entire time.

She is sure that this fear would remain engraved in people. Since her very presence brings fear, that is something that will never change. Now that she is aware of her so-called powers, this fear and distance will only increase.

Sumire wondered if those people would notice it too. The people in school will they notice this change from her? Will they start to fear her? Will she no longer see the smile on their faces? Sumire shook her head. This is not the time to think about such things.

"I hear my wife has been causing you problems, my apologies," Kuga said, pouring the bottle of wine; the red color immediately drew her attention.

She felt a throbbing pain in her chest, but she took a sip of the drink.

"Aside from causing external issues, she doesn't do anything too extreme. So I hardly noticed it."

"I see. Swinging your cursed blade around like that, though, is it wise?"

"I never realized this weapon was capable of such a thing before. I thought Aki-san had strange tastes when he gave it to me."

Kuga laughed. "Well, you are probably right about the strange taste thing. You're surprisingly adapting to this situation well."
