"Get out of the way!!"

At the moment of crisis, a silver light suddenly struck towards Perfect Sakuragi from the side.

She couldn't dodge in time. Grabbing Tiny Sakuragi's right hand, it was heavily hammered by Reckless Sakuragi.

"Thud!!"

With a dull sound, the previously calm hot air balloons around, representing different characters, all turned chaotic.

They screamed, cried, and fled, and in an instant, the entire sea of hot air balloons seemed to boil over,

while in the center of the balloons, Perfect Sakuragi's clenched hand was suddenly broken apart, and Tiny Sakuragi quickly broke free and hid behind Reckless Sakuragi.

Perfect Sakuragi raised her bruised and deformed hand, smilingly glanced at the hammer in Reckless Sakuragi's hand, and praised,

"I can't believe you have such strength without removing your weakness, really impressive~"

However, as she spoke, her hand moved slightly, and the deformation and bruise wriggled back to normal instantly.

Then with a wave of her hand, she pulled out a fireman's axe almost as tall as herself.

"Is this for real..."

Reckless Sakuragi initially thought she had succeeded with one hit; she assumed Perfect Sakuragi was not so tough and considered confronting her head-on to eliminate her.

But seeing her injuries healing as if never there, she looked up at her in terror.

"Run quick! She... she's already killed and devoured the Sakuragi here, so look over there, the Barrier's door is open!"

From behind, the voice of Timid Sakuragi came, prompting Reckless Sakuragi to turn her head to look.

Only then did she notice, with the surrounding balloons undulating wildly, at the far end of the space, a Light Gate was unfolding towards them...

That was the exit for escape!

"Run!!"

Seeing this, Reckless Sakuragi turned and ran, and Tiny Sakuragi immediately flew onto her shoulder, clinging tightly to her collar, and leapt with her onto another pitch-black balloon.

"Thud!!"

The two Sakuragis, with Tiny Sakuragi, took a few steps on the hot air balloon. When the balloon turned around, they realized the big face below was actually Ye Shiyu's.

"Ah, it's Ye Shiyu! That awful guy who hypnotizes others!"

Tiny Sakuragi pointed at the expressionless large head of Ye Shiyu below and identified it as such, while "Ye Shiyu" still gazed at her blandly.

A few seconds later, she suddenly spoke,

"I've already changed for the better."

"..."

The three Sakuragis showed speechless expressions, but the next second, a fireman's axe was suddenly flung from below, chopping Ye Shiyu's hot air balloon into a burst.

"Boom!!"

The explosion blast sent the three directly flying, tumbling in the air a few times before landing on a hot air balloon with starry eyes.

This was Bai Yi's hot air balloon.

"Ah ha, Yan Huan's favorite is me!"

"...Hehe, you should just die!"

Reckless Sakuragi lightly flicked Bai Yi's balloon on the forehead, then with previous lessons, she didn't dare to stop, and rushed forward frantically.

"Bang!"

Sure enough, in the next second, Bai Yi's balloon was also hit by the fireman's axe and exploded directly.

"Run, hurry and run! Whoever runs the slowest, my axe will appear in her head, oh!"

Below, the elegantly smiling Perfect Sakuragi spoke, and another fireman's axe appeared instantly in her palm.

"Spencer..."

"Bang!"

"An Le..."

"Bang!"

At this moment, Perfect Sakuragi seemed to be toying with prey in a cage, preemptively chopping the balloons they were about to step on,

so they had to turn back, always circling above, never reaching the distant exit.

"What do we do?!"

Reckless Sakuragi was already drenched in sweat from running, while Perfect Sakuragi below seemed tireless, gently flipping two axes, watching them playfully,

"If you don't run, you'll die very soon~"

With that said, she already had her axe aimed at Timid Sakuragi's head.

It seemed she was her number one target.

"Ah, I remember which Sakuragi's Barrier this is!"

At the critical moment, the mouse ears on Timid Sakuragi's head twitched slightly, and she hurriedly reminded,

"This... is Reflective Sakuragi's Barrier...

"These balloons record the beautiful side of people and events, and at the bottom, there are many sunken stone tablets tying the balloons...

"Those stones represent the negative sides of others and things to her.

"Reflective Sakuragi observes these balloons and stones constantly, summing up various emotions and thoughts afterward..."

After listening, Reckless Sakuragi incredulously asked,

"Is this even considered a weakness? Isn't it a good habit?"

"Her hunting goes far beyond the general faults. Otherwise, the one representing 'conscience,' Tiny Sakuragi, wouldn't be hunted..."

"..."

"Watch out!"

Reckless Sakuragi showed an incredulous expression, but her face changed immediately; she grabbed Timid Sakuragi by the shoulder and pulled her away.

Below, a fireman's axe flew past her neck.

Though thanks to Reckless Sakuragi's help, she narrowly escaped the disaster, a wisp of her long hair fell to the ground.

This gave her a fright, causing her to sit down on the hot air balloon with soft legs,

"Whoa... almost..."

"Sometimes overthinking is not a good thing... if we don't kill this guy, we don't know how long we'll be stuck here on that night in Tokyo..."

Below, Perfect Sakuragi slightly smiled, with a gentle wave of her palm, the whole world started to shake like an earthquake.
