In Hanamizaka, Inazuma, Arataki Itto was playing beetle fighting with his subordinates.
"Boss, things have been really off in Inazuma recently. Is it really a good idea for us to be out here so openly having fun?" A-shou said with some concern.
"Well, it can't be helped... Now that all the shops in Inazuma are closed, even if we wanted to work and earn money for the Arataki Gang, we can't do it anymore!" Itto responded.
"Hahahaha~ A-shou, the oni beetle you found doesn't seem to be very good! It's about to be knocked out by my 'Crimson Two-Hammer'! Hahahaha..."
"Boss, I heard that the Shogun is doing something with the Hunt Decree again, and this time, the target aren't the Vision, but real eyes..." A-huang said, "And they can't just be any eyes, they need to be eyes from rare species..."
"As the boss of the oni clan, you might be targeted..."
"What's there to be afraid of? I don't believe the Shogun will personally come down to rip my eyes out!" Itto said nonchalantly, "At most, she'll send that Tengu from the Kujou family!"
"Last time with the Vision Hunt Decree, she didn't play fair, and I was careless and got caught off guard, allowing her to win by chance..."
"I've always wanted to get back at her for that, but she never responds to my challenges!"
"It's just a sumo match at the crossroads of Inazuma city, does she not even have the courage for that?"
"Kujou Tengu? Always holed up inside, never facing me in battle. I'd rather call her Kujou Turtle!"
"I really hope she comes looking for me again so I can have a proper rematch with her!"
"Boss... Boss... She seems to really be here..." Yuan Tai said, pointing ahead, where they could see the figures of Kujou Sara and the Tenryou Commission troops.
"Arataki Itto, the Shogun is very fond of your eyes..."
Kujou Sara said as she slowly walked up to Arataki Itto.
Her cold, imposing aura and serious expression made Arataki Itto's three subordinates step back in fear, unable to meet her gaze.
"Hey, hey, hey! Kujou Tengu, if your target is me, what's the point of scaring my subordinates?" Arataki Itto said, putting down the beetle he was holding and standing up.
He walked toward Kujou Sara, lowering his head to look down at her and continued:
"Kujou Tengu, I've been wanting to have another match with you, but you always refused... See, now the opportunity has arrived!"
"Let's settle this once and for all, here and now!"
Seeing Arataki Itto's behavior, Kujou Sara's expression grew somewhat complicated.
Did this guy not realize what kind of situation they were in?
This wasn't like the previous time with the Vision Hunt, where the Vision was taken and then returned without too much consequence...
But now, if his eyes were taken, he would be truly blind...
And Kujou Sara understood that, due to certain restrictions, she would have to use her full strength, leaving no room for hesitation.
Otherwise, she would fall into an unconscious state, losing control of her own body, which could lead to even worse consequences...
The next moment, Kujou Sara unleashed her Electro energy.
She raised her bow and shot an arrow imbued with Electro power directly at Arataki Itto!
"Damn it, Kujou Tengu, are you really serious about this!?"
Arataki Itto quickly leaned back, dodging Kujou Sara's attack, then took out his weapon, the Redhorn Stonethresher, and looked at Kujou Sara with a serious expression.
"Don't resist, just hand over your eye."
Kujou Sara looked at Arataki Itto with a calm gaze and coldly said:
"We will only take one of your eyes, we won't harm your life."
"That last shot was the final warning. The next one, I'll be serious."
Kujou Sara said, raising her bow once again, channeling an incredibly powerful Electro energy and aiming it at Arataki Itto.
"Don't think for a second that I'm an easy target, Tengu!" Arataki Itto also readied himself for battle, the bloodline of his Oni heritage beginning to awaken, and Geo energy starting to radiate from his body.
In the next moment, Kujou Sara released the arrow, and Arataki Itto raised his massive stick, clashing fiercely with the projectile!
With a loud crash, Arataki Itto was sent flying backward!
"Boss!" The three members of the Arataki gang, who had been watching, shouted out in concern.
"Although I have to admit, your Oni race's natural talents are indeed stronger than those of normal races…"
Kujou Sara spoke coldly:
"But you've been too idle. If you had spent all that time improving your strength, I might truly not be your match..."
"While you were out eating, drinking, and playing, I was on the battlefield slaying enemies... while you were sound asleep, I was up early, training my body and skills…"
Kujou Sara spoke, raising her bow once more, showing no intention of holding back...
"If you want to harm our boss, you'll have to step over our dead bodies first!"
The three previously trembling gang members, now somehow emboldened, stepped forward and stood in front of Arataki Itto!
"Ah Shu... Ah Huang... Yuan Tai..." Arataki Itto, who was lying on the ground, slowly lifted his head, deeply moved by the scene, but still spoke up, "You all should go! Don't fight against Kujou Sara..."
"Defeat is defeat, let her take my eye then!"
"Actually... having one eye isn't that bad, right?"
"All obstacles that stand in the way of the Raiden Shogun's goals must be eliminated."
Kujou Sara's expression was complicated, but in the end, she shot the arrow!
Facing the speeding Electro arrow, at the critical moment, Beidou quickly stepped forward, drawing her greatsword and deflecting the arrow with a perfect parry, sending it flying away!
At the same time, Aether stepped up beside Arataki Itto and helped him to his feet.
"Ah! It's you, my dear friend!" Arataki Itto exclaimed with surprise.
"Heh, didn't expect you, the cowherd, to look so flustered..." Paimon chuckled.
"Wait, you've always looked like this, haven't you?"
"Flying pansy melon, you..." Arataki Itto was about to banter with Paimon, but then he realized the situation was off, and quickly said, "Hey, buddy, be careful of Kujou Sara, she's clearly not herself right now!"
"Oh? I thought you were honored guests from Inazuma, but now you're here to stop me from completing the task assigned to me by the Raiden Shogun?"
Kujou Sara's expression softened as she looked at the group that had appeared.
"Come on, I won't hold back..."
"If you want to stop me, then give it your all..."
"Defeat me!"
