Kasumi:you're hosting a Siren!!!

Nagaro:of sorts. it claims to not align with the Sirens we face and only follows it's own goals and wants but I'm skeptical

Kasumi:..... this Siren, it's the cause of your sudden power???

Nagaro:............it was just our officers who hid things from us. even our superiors in the Empire and our scientists are keeping secrets

Kasumi:what!!!

Nagaro:I was made with a Black Wisdom Cube and this allowed the Siren inside the Black Wisdom Cube used for the Orochi to merge with Me

Kasumi:so your powers are-

Nagaro:caused by my Black Wisdom Cube and empowered further by this Siren

Kasumi:you took it's help!

Nagaro:............hyprocosy right? it struck a deal with Me. it would unlock the full extents of my power and in exchange it wants Me to destroy the Siren for it's entertainment

Kasumi:you said-

Nagaro:ironic right? I became the very this I swore to destroy

Kasumi:Sir Nagaro

Nagaro:if you're having doubts, I don't blame you. I'm as much of a threat to you and the Empire as the Orochi but I have to correct the Empire's mistakes. as long as you and the Empire are safe and sailing on the right course, then it doesn't matter if I am here on the seas or not

the truth was out and Kasumi couldn't believe what she was hearing. she didn't know what to do, the partner she had trusted had made the same deal as the opponents they were facing, Nagaro had done very thing that caused this conflict, she should have left, she should have ran but her heart told her to stay, deep down she knew she was still on the right side

her arms wrapped around the boys body and soon she remained still for the embrace. Nagaro on the other mellowed at the gesture, he had expected Kasumi to become distant after hearing the truth like how he had become when the truth was told to him but instead she embraced him and the heat in his heart and body suddenly quelled to noticeable degrees as he wrapped his tails around the girl to pull her in closer, wanting to feel the gesture for longer

the thoughts swirled around Nagaro's head again. he imagined what things would be like if he acted the same way Kasumi has now. he knew it was drastically different but how was the questions and would it be better than what was happening now

he wasn't sure of it but like how his Sisters couldn't change the course of their actions now, neither could he and the only way to progress was forward and the time to end the conflict was finally here. the plan was simple, lure the Sakura Empire and Destroy the Orochi

Kasumi's POV
________________

Sir Nagaro was confident in his new powers but I was still unsure, nevertheless I went with his plan. using a powerful fire given to me by Sir Nagaro, I'd it look like that he was going to destroy  the Orochi from a distance. the plan banked on Me stalling the majority of the Sakura Empire to buy Sir Nagaro time to actually destroy it up close 

I'd be fighting the bulk of the Empire's force but I was confident. I took Iron Blood by surprise and sweeped them before they could get the chance to recover or familiarize themselves with Me. my chances of doing the same with the Empire was slim but I could do it and I had to if I wanted to keep everyone here
