Homare Azuma/Synopsis

## The Azuma Banquet

Prior to the Azuma Banquet, Homare joins Fubuki Azuma and Maia Azuma to report to Tobera Azuma that Himari Azuma will be participating in the banquet. Homare declares that she will give Himari a good beating during the contest, but when Maia refutes that she cannot decide that, Homare uses her peach ability to swap Maia out of her uniform into a frilly dress. In retaliation, Maia uses her own ability to immobilize Homare, which angers her.

Later, at the Azuma Estate, Homare gathers with the other Azuma family members who will be participating in the banquet, along with Tobera and the spectators from the Anti-Demon Corps. After Tobera explains the rules of banquet, informing them it will be a Battle Royale on a remote island, Homare taunts Himari, stating she must be a masochist to come back considering the beatings she gave her as a child. However, Himari swats Homare away, declaring she is a rotten woman and that she will defeat her. Homare and the rest of the contestants go through the portal (as well as Yuuki Wakura who is assisting Himari as her "Slave") marking the start of the banquet.

Upon arriving at the island, Homare quickly seeks out and locates Himari, intending to kidnap her so she can better deal with Yachiho. Homare and Yuuki exchange blows, but the two seem evenly matched. Homare then uses Python to furiously attack Yuuki and Himari and manages to land a devastating blow. However, seeing that they are losing the battle, Himari has Yuuki transform into his new Skyward form. Realizing the intense power of this new form, Homare attempts a retreat, but Yuuki easily chases her down and lands a powerful kick. Homare counterattacks, but Yuuki easily blocks her and lands another hit. Exhausted, Yuuki reverts to his normal form and Himari offers to engage Homare in hand-to-hand combat. Homare, agrees to the challenge, but Himari quickly knocks her down. Homare gets back up and desperately attacks Himari with a knife, declaring that she must defeat the main branch of the Azumas, but Himari dodges and conclusively defeats Homare with a flurry of punches. Homare is soon after removed from the battlefield and returned to the Azuma Estate by Tobera.

Later, after an intense battle between Himari and Fubuki, in which Himari proves her worth as a fighter, Fubuki ultimately prevails and is declared the winner of the banquet and new head of the Azuma Family. After Tobera heals Homare's injuries, she awakens, but is shocked to find that she is naked. Tobera then joins the rest of the Azumas, some of whom are praising Himari, including Tobera who, nevertheless, demonstrates her tyrannical nature. As the new head of the family, Fubuki confronts Tobera, condemning her meritocracy. Tobera furiously attacks Fubuki, but Fubuki easily pins her down and Tobera concedes to her will. Fubuki attempts to make peace with the rest of the Azumas, telling Homare and Yumina Azuma that she will re-discipline them with love, which Homare is unimpressed by.

Sometime later, still embittered by her loss to Himari, Homare attempts to seduce Yuuki. Although she is embarrassed by it, Homare strips and enters Yuuki's room, but finds Tobera there who was also trying to seduce Yuuki and informs Homare that Yuuki has gone with Himari and Fubuki for training. Homare becomes frustrated by Tobera's youthful appearance and contemplates that her Transience ability is the ability of a monster. Tobera accuses Homare of thinking something rude about her, but Homare frantically denies it.
