"What?! The ancient city is skipping class again?! Chonghua asked with an angry expression. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Chonghua's job is exactly ...... The natural enemy of students who like to skip class - the Discipline Commissioner.

Shallot nodded, and Chonghua asked, "Do you know where he went?" ”

"Well, the second level of the island.north, block B, is right on Enterprise Research Institute Street. He went to find a business of Lotharingian nationality. Shallot replied.

So Chonghua nodded, and called to ask for leave while running out.

"Arrest someone...... Well, I approved it. That month's answer made the corners of Chonghua's mouth hook, and then he hung up the phone and rushed to his destination.

island.north - This is where the company research institute is lined up, and it is the research institute street in the northern district of Xianjin Island. In the futuristic corner of the island, which feels like the most artificial island, the ruins of the institute remain.

It was almost the same as a cube, a four-story building.

Maybe it's to keep it secret, but there are very few windows in the building. Because of this, you can hardly feel the atmosphere that has been blocked. This environment is quite in contrast to the criminals' base from which to use it.

"Is that the research institute of that pharmaceutical company?"

Poking her head out from the shadows of the trees on the side of the street, Yukina asked with a wary face. Presumably, the ancient city replied in an unreliable tone, "Although it is said that the research institute was sealed down due to the withdrawal of the parent company, it is said that the entire building has been detained, so I think the facilities inside are probably restored to the same state." Adjustment equipment including artificial life forms is also available. ”

"Adjustment equipment for artificial lifeforms...... In terms of conditions, it is just right. Yukina muttered with a serious expression.

"-I really can't understand the situation inside."

Yukina said, putting down the guitar case on her back. Then he drew his silver spear with a clatter, and opened the tip of the spear.

"I'll go investigate, senior, please wait here."

"Huh? Wait for me, Hiiragi. Don't you want to go alone? ”

"yes, that's what I intended."

Yukina looked up at the old castle with eyes that looked like she wanted to say, "Of course."

"Why!?"

Guru's eyes widened in surprise, and Yukina sighed and shook her head.

"Senior, what do you want to do with you? You're just going to get in the way, so please be honest. ”

"No, it's in the way or something...... What would you do if you met that uncle inside? Could it be that Ji Hiiragi wants to fight alone? ”

"Of course, but what do you want to do with me?"

"Don't talk like I'm thinking about something nasty."

The ancient city said in an unhappy tone. However, unlike Yukina, who has accumulated training as a demon attacker, Shojo is nothing more than an amateur who has just acquired the abilities of a vampire. Although it is called the Fourth True Ancestor, in fact, it is not even a dependent beast that can be used freely, and it is helpless to be called an obstacle.

"Besides, what can you do as a vampire? Saying that it can't use a curling beast and can't fly, it doesn't look like it can do a trick like turning into a fog. ”

"Yes, there are only a handful of vampires with that special ability. That doesn't mean I'm incompetent. ”

"It's true that the arm strength is quite high, but if the movement is almost the same as that of a layman, it will not work in actual combat. Attention is also very loose and impulsive. ”

"Uh......h Belch....... ”

"If you understand, please be honest. lest you do any unnecessary trouble. ”

Yukina said in a tone of abandonment to the other party.

"So that's what you're skipping class for?" Chonghua's voice came from behind.

The ancient city said secretly: "It's not good." ”

"That...... Chonghua, I think I can explain. The ancient city turned his head and said.

"It's interesting, why don't you call me?" Chonghua looked helpless, "You also know that every time I catch you back, it's because it's too boring." ”

"Haha......" Gu Gu sneered, "You don't manage that month-chan very strictly......

"The problem is that I came out on leave." Chonghua hit the nail on the head and said, "You skip class every time, and I'm very tired of being arrested by the Discipline Inspection Commission." ”

"The ......"

"Forget it, this time I will accommodate you, that guy also made me unhappy yesterday, but the ancient city, I won't help with the 50 billion lost."

"Why! Your beasts are also doing it together! ”

"The demon scorpion told me that its ice control is to resist, to counteract, but it didn't take the initiative to attack, its impact is only a small piece around, and it didn't use all its strength, if you insist on it, it's your beast's attack that is more powerful, right?" Chonghua shook his head and said.

"Damn...... Why do I have the feeling that even if you're lying to me, I can't refute it? ”

"Delusion, huh? But you can't get in? I'll go in first. ”

"Wait for us!"

……

Although it was inevitable, the cordoned off institute facilities were locked. Needless to say, the main entrance made of glass, even the door of the general intersection is blocked by heavy locks and Nanjing ingots.

The bargain Nanjing ingots were rusted red, showing signs that they had not been used for a long time.

"The place where the uncles are hiding, isn't it here......?"

The ancient city said in a discouraged tone.

"Idiot, take a look - broken, illusion."

Everything around shattered in an instant, even the lock on the door shattered, and the glass door slowly opened.

"It's a very basic illusion. Senior, you were deceived by this level of magic...... It's really a true ancestor. Even my half-man is better than you, tsk. Chonghua shook his head and walked in, and Yukina hurriedly followed.

This guy ...... What the hell is the origin......

While the ancient city was walking while thinking about this kind of thing, Yukina, who was walking in front, inadvertently stopped. Guru accidentally bumped into her because of this, and was silently glared at by Yukina.

"What's wrong, Ji Hiiragi?"

"Senior...... This is. ”

Yukina said as she pointed to the scene unfolding in front of her.

It was a large room with a high ceiling like a church church.

In place of the church, stained glass lines the edge of the walls with cylindrical sinks.

Each sink is about one meter in diameter and about two meters in height. There are about twenty of these things in total, and they are neatly arranged.

And in the sink, it was filled with an amber, cloudy liquid.

Although the light coming in through the window shone lightly on the solution, it was far from a beautiful scene.

It was a simple laboratory, an adjustment tank for abandoned artificial lifeforms. But—

"This is...... Artificial lifeforms...... Is it? How is this kind of thing possible...... Be!? ”

Looking up at the sink, the ancient city groaned. Its voice trembled slightly with anger.

Floating in the amber solution are strange creatures that are close in size to puppies. That figure is not only like a legendary monster, but also like a beautiful goblin. In any case, this posture is not what a creature in nature should have.

"Senior......?"

Looking at the ancient city, which showed fierce anger, Yukina showed a surprised expression. I just want to ask the other party the reason for his anger, but Yukina turns his back on the ancient city. Raising the silver spear lowered his posture.

It was due to the perception of someone's breath emerging from the shadows of the sink.

It was a small figure, a blue-haired girl. The pale blue iris looked at Yukina expressionlessly as she posed with a gun against her. It was the maiden of the artificial lifeform known as Astarot.

"That guy is ......"

Aware of Astaruti's presence, the ancient city turned its head. But Yukina opened her left palm in front of the ancient city as if she was awakened, "Seniors can't look at it!" ”

"Huh? No, but ah......"

"Anyway, I just can't see it. Don't turn here! ”

"Ji Hiiragi? What the hell is going on......? ”

Passing through Yukina's palm, he saw Astaruti's figure, and the ancient city let out a low moan.

The first thing that comes into view is the milky white of almost transparent skin.

Transparent water droplets were dripping at Astaruti's feet. As an artificial lifeform, this girl seems to have just finished adjusting and came out of the sink.

She was wearing a thin layer of cloth like the one she wore during surgery. And the cloth was also soaked wet, and it was perfectly attached to her skin. It's almost the same as a nude posture.

"Senior ......"

Staring blankly at the ancient city of Astaruti, Yukina let out a low voice. Gucheng shook his head with a stiff expression, "No, it's not...... It's not what you think, Hiiragi. ”

"Nowhere is it, really...... It's really nasty. Do you see the ...... Chonghua seniors? ”

With a rough sigh, Yukina looked at Chonghua.

Chonghua ...... Lying on the ground with a nosebleed, it's really a child who can't help it.

But the ancient city couldn't take its eyes off the skin of Astarut, which could be seen through the layered cloth. Because on her almost transparent white skin, there were rainbow shadows.

Astarut spoke suddenly, quietly.

“…… Warning, please get out of here immediately. ”

"Huh?"

At the words of the slightly unexpected girl, the ancient city came back to his senses in surprise. During this time, Yukina changed her posture with a gun. Changed to a stance that is not alert but capable of attacking first.

But Astaruti only repeated the words faintly. In an unguarded posture, he said, "This island will soon sink to the bottom of the sea." Please run away before then. As far away as possible, the better......"

"This island will ...... Sink to the bottom of the sea!? What does that mean......!? ”

Hit by a feeling that his spinal cord was frozen, the ancient city groaned. Probably because of this uninhibited mechanical pronunciation, it was very direct to believe Astarout's words. As an artificial being, she had no reason to lie to them in this form.

"This island is a dreamy and false continent floating on the boy at the intersection of dragon veins. As long as you go to the fulcrum, you will destroy ......"

"Huh?"

At the words woven by the artificial lifeform, Yukina let out a voice of surprise. Although the ancient city didn't understand, Astaruti's words seemed to have some information that could have shocked her so much.

Then, behind the astalouti, a large figure swayed.

It was a giant man in a solemn vestment and armored robes, the annihilator of Rotalingia, Ludoluf. Oistaha.

He looked down coldly at the girl of the artificial life form who looked back timidly,

—as she said. Our wish is an immortal treasure that is sacrificed as the center. Now, the power to realize this long-cherished wish has been reached. The Sword Witch of the Lion King's Mechanism, thanks to you. ”

He pointed the blade of the half-moon axe at Yukina who was in a posture.

At the words of the general teacher, Yukina showed a confused expression.

But it was not she who answered Oistaha but the ancient city.

"Got the power...... Is it ......? Doesn't that mean something buried in that child's body? ”

"Senpai?"

To the words of the ancient city who was suppressing his anger, Yukina was visibly shaken.

The ancient city stepped in front of Yukina's eyes and glared at Oistaha with angry eyes. And the teacher of Rotalingia looked at such an ancient city indifferently, "Do you notice it?" It can be said that he is worthy of the fourth true ancestor. But now even you are no longer our enemy, and you are no longer in front of us. ”

"No kidding——!" The drink of the ancient city shook the atmosphere of the research institute that was contained in the silence. "Uncle, you guy, implanted the beast in that child's body——!

"Huh......!?"

Yukina, who heard the angry voice of the ancient city, looked at Astarut's slender body in surprise. Then he looked at the strange creatures that were floating in the culture tank to the left and right of Astarut.

"Looks like it's a lot more complicated than I thought, this place." Chonghua stood up slowly, the nosebleed had stopped, his eyes turned from blue to gold, and there was an inexplicable extra green pupil in his eyes.

"If you implant the beast in Astaruti's body, then—even if this child devours a lot of energy, it should not be long, right?" Chonghua, who had golden eyes, laughed in a low voice, and then walked to the front step by step.
