"Phew~ Don't be nervous."
"Just be normal."
Hoshimi Aya took a deep breath and finally pushed open the door.
She immediately saw Soichiro and Hoshimi Miyabi talking about something, and as soon as Hoshimi Aya walked in, she almost immediately attracted their attention.
"Little sister, you're here."
Hoshimi Miyabi looked at Hoshimi Aya with a smile and said.
Hoshimi Aya felt a little relieved seeing Hoshimi Miyabi like this.
"Yes, I brought the sword."
"Is there something special going on?"
Saying that, Hoshimi Aya showed the long sword in her hand.
"...This sword."
"Aya, can you tell me its origin?"
Soichiro looked at the demonic sword in Hoshimi Aya's hand and asked.
"I don't know. It was by my side when I woke up from The Hollow."
"As for its origin, I'm not clear either."
Hoshimi Aya answered truthfully; she really didn't know.
As for the reason of a parallel dimension, it was too absurd; no one would believe it if she said it, right?
"Yes, Father."
"I can vouch for this; my little sister didn't remember anything after she woke up."
Hoshimi Miyabi said.
"...Let me see what's different about these two swords."
Soichiro said with some silence.
Hoshimi Aya and Hoshimi Miyabi nodded and handed over their swords.
Ultimately, Soichiro held the two almost identical demonic swords in silence.
"Aya, Mi-chan, use them for a bit; I want to observe."
Soichiro said silently, his mind racing.
Seeing this, the two took back their swords and drew them.
Hoshimi Miyabi emitted a faint blue light, while Hoshimi Aya emitted a faint red light.
Soichiro:...
"What's wrong, Father?"
"Is there a problem?"
Hoshimi Miyabi looked at her father with some confusion, not understanding why he had such a silent expression.
There shouldn't be anything wrong, right?
"Mi-chan, the sword in your hand is the ancestral demonic sword passed down through generations of our Hoshimi Family."
"And Aya's sword is almost identical to the one in your hand."
"This matter can be big or small."
"Now, the sword in Aya's hand has been exposed."
"This undoubtedly sends a signal to them that our Hoshimi Family's ancestral demonic sword can be replicated."
"And how the sword in Aya's hand came to be is not important."
Soichiro said with some silence.
Suddenly, Soichiro thought of something.
"Aya, how's your strength?"
Soichiro inquired.
"Uh... it's alright."
"It's acceptable."
Hoshimi Aya said silently, while also glancing at Hoshimi Aya.
"Father, Aya should possess Void Hunter Level combat power."
"I fought with Aya once before, and at that time, Aya's combat techniques were relatively rusty."
"However, her physical fitness and strength already possessed Void Hunter Level power."
Hoshimi Miyabi seemed to have noticed her father's solemnity and said.
Soichiro's brows relaxed upon hearing this, then he burst into laughter.
"Then it's fine."
"The main concern about this matter was that someone might target Aya."
"After all, possessing such a divine weapon can easily attract the attention of others."
"If she possesses Void Hunter Level strength, then there's no problem."
Soichiro laughed. He had originally been worried about something happening, but now it seemed unnecessary.
After all, the Hoshimi Family wasn't the only one with demonic swords; some other forces also possessed them.
It was just that one had turned into two.
The main concern was that someone might target the one in Aya's hand, as Mi-chan's strength was formidable, making it impossible for anyone to target her.
But Aya was different; she might easily be targeted.
If Aya's strength wasn't enough, he would have had to forcefully bring Aya and her friends to live in the Hoshimi Family.
"Uh... you called me over so seriously just for this?"
Hoshimi Aya asked, puzzled.
"Yes, mainly to see if there was any difference between these two swords."
"And because the video of your combat, Aya, was uploaded."
"Some forces are already stirring."
"If your strength, Aya, wasn't on Mi-chan's level, I would have originally asked you and your two friends to come live at the Hoshimi Family, which would be safer."
"But it seems unnecessary now, as you have the ability to protect yourself."
Soichiro said with a smile.
After all, he had seen Aya suffer a serious injury before, and he subconsciously thought she only had some strength, but wasn't very strong.
He didn't expect her to possess the same combat power as Mi-chan.
"...I have a question, but I don't know if I should ask it."
Hoshimi Aya listened to Soichiro's words, was silent for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and asked.
"Aya, why be so polite?"
"We're all family; just ask whatever you want directly."
Soichiro responded with a gentle smile.
This gentle attitude made Hoshimi Aya dare not look directly at him for a moment, and she slightly lowered her head.
"My sword has a problem; there's a risk of losing control."
"Do you have any methods to control it?"
Hoshimi Aya inquired.
After Hoshimi Aya finished speaking, Soichiro and Hoshimi Miyabi both showed expressions of shock.
"Little sister, can you explain in more detail?"
Hoshimi Miyabi asked with concern, as if her strength wasn't enough, using the demonic sword in her hand would also carry such a risk.
However, fortunately, she could completely control it and didn't have to worry about the risk of losing control.
At least for now, everything was under her control, and there was no such thing as losing control.
"How should I put it..."
"It's just that I'm often inexplicably pulled into a very peculiar space."
"Inside, there's a Nine-Tailed Fox with a body comparable to a large truck."
"It often talks nonsense, saying things like 'we are one,' and even asks me to accept it."
Hoshimi Aya recalled the scene she saw in the space she was pulled into when she lost control and simply described it.
"...Mi-chan, do you have this kind of situation?"
Soichiro inquired.
Hoshimi Miyabi shook her head upon hearing this. Aside from her mother's incident, she had never lost control due to the sword.
"Aya, the demonic sword on you is indeed very similar to our ancestral one."
"According to our family's historical records, what you described is very similar to what is documented."
"However, the records don't mention how to control the demonic sword; it's always been suppressed by one's own strength."
"Just like Mi-chan. If it's about suppressing the demonic sword, we do have some methods."
Soichiro pondered.
This sword was indeed similar to their ancestral demonic sword in the records, yet also somewhat different.
So, it could be speculated that this was a relatively similar demonic sword.
