Cries of lightning (Ayaka x OC)

Chapter 5: Chasing the Phantom.

3rd POV. Komore Teahouse.

With Aether finally agreed to help Ayaka to repeal the Vision Hunt Decree, their plan is almost complete.

Now, the last remaining piece of the puzzle..........

As Thoma, the Traveler, Paimon, and Ayaka gathered around the table, they began to discuss their plan.

Paimon: So, you want us to capture Reimei?

Ayaka: As much as that is the most pleasant option that we have......

Thoma: Even milord is running out of options.

Aether: So, he really lived up to his moniker being the Phantom.

Paimon: Can you tell us more about him?

Ayaka: I know you won't find this story........beautiful because this is something that......will make us difficult to reach him.

Paimon: Why? What happened?

Ayaka: Do you know about, "The Dendrobium Massacre"?

Aether: The.....

Paimon: ......what?

Thoma: Allow me to explain.

Thoma: The Dendrobrium Massacre happened last year, and it took place at Nazuchi Beach, where it lies in between Kannazuka and Yashiori Island.

Thoma: And that place is the current battlefield of the Resistance under Sangonomiya, and the Shogun's Army.

Ayaka: According to what we gathered, the troops of each faction faced off and the skirmish began.

Ayaka: However, during the middle of the chaotic battle, a young swordsman appeared amidst the chaos, executed one Shogunate Samurai, and the Resistance thought
that the swordsman is on their side.

Ayaka: But the moment that the swordsman also executed a Sangonomiya Samurai.......

Thoma: Both sides decided to kill him, but they miserably failed.

Thoma: The Resistance's numbers during that time were around 50 soldiers. While the Shogun's army are just around 100.

Thoma: And that swordsman, killed all of them, none of them were left alive.

Thoma: Not to mention, they were killed in the most brutal way as you could imagine. Decapitated heads, limbs, torso.......

Paimon: S-So..........we met that guy!?

Ayaka: The one who caused the Dendrobium Massacre, was none other than the Phantom, in this case, Tachibana Reimei.

Aether: And you're telling me to capture such a guy?

Ayaka: I know it may sound possible but........

Thoma: We don't know now how to deal with him. Even Guuji Yae is on her wits' end.

Paimon: Ugh.....so, what do we do, Aether?

Aether: Our main problem is that we don't know, where he is right now.

Ayaka: I agree.

Thoma: I have an informant and said that he's currently at Chinju Forest as of late.
