"I'm truly very sorry..."
Tsuruno hung her head, looking dejected.
"I never imagined Meidong would use me as a hostage..."
"Don't blame yourself. Honestly, even I didn't expect her to do something like that."
Miss Yachiyo sighed and waved her hand, then looked at the nearby Red Ponytail.
"Honestly, I thought you'd intervene at that moment."
In fact, when Meidong took Tsuruno as a hostage, everyone present was stunned, and Miss Yachiyo glanced at Red Ponytail in concern. Knowing Red Ponytail, she might have just rushed up and struck with her sword. But to Miss Yachiyo's surprise, Red Ponytail acted as if she hadn't seen anything, and thus, Miss Yachiyo agreed to Meidong's terms for exchange, returning the twins to Mi Huyou and watching them leave with their eyes wide open.
"No need to, as my magic power was running low at that time."
