A person who has such a high level of knowledge of manipulating magic rituals, and can really perform that ritual on Natsune. As a magic guide technician of a large company and also the stepfather of Natsune, Hase Kensei www.biquge.info undoubtedly meets these conditions.

"Transform your own daughter into that kind of monster and let your companions kill each other......

Tongue smacked rudely, and the ancient city groaned. But Yukina shook her head again with a sad expression.

"Probably, it's the other way around. ”

"Huh?"

"It's not Kensheng Hase who transforms his daughter......"

"It was to reform her that he adopted her as an adopted daughter...... Is that the case......" Such a cruel imagination filled the eyes of the ancient city with anger.

A girl who was once lonely, a family that she finally got with great difficulty, turned out to be just a material for experimentation......

The despair that Xia Yin endured at that time was unimaginable to the ancient city.

Chonghua's mental fluctuations also suddenly became violent, and both Gucheng and Yukina felt the hidden, terrifying anger.

Then Yukina, smiling softly and quietly closing her eyes, laughed at herself.

"Hase-san, and I may be very similar. So......" Yukina muttered a few words, so that the ancient city finally noticed her sincerity.

The situation of Yukina, who was raised as a sword witch, does overlap with the current Xia Yin. For Yukina, if she takes a wrong step, she might be used as a test bed for magic like Natsune. That's why Yukina even reported the name of the Lion King to meet with Hase Kensheng at the Mega Scraft Company. In order to save Xia Yin, she is quite desperate.

"Last night...... Haze saved us......" While recalling the memories of the deathmatch he experienced on the radio tower, the ancient city slowly confirmed. Yukina raised her head suddenly and shook the ancient city's hand hard.

"Yes. ”

Yukina's pupils, who nodded heavily, said, "So this time I want to replace me to save her." The same is true for the ancient city. As a result, the reason why the ancient city wanted to save Xia Yin was quite enough as long as there was that.

But, as if to mock the ancient city's resolve, the light plane they were flying in shook violently and began to descend.

"Yo, stupid couple. I'm sorry to bother you while you're talking, but it's almost there. ”

Kirishima said this and pointed to the sea, where a small island floated.

It is a half-moon-shaped island with a central part covered by verdant forests. The diameter is less than two kilometers. I think I can go around the island in about half a day. There were no houses to be seen from above. It is a completely uninhabited island.

"There's a Megascraft research facility on that island?"

Hearing the question of the ancient city's confusion, Kirishima nodded without enthusiasm.

"It seems to be an uninhabited island that doesn't even have a name, so we call it Goldfish Bowl. ”

"Goldfish bowl?"

What do you mean, when the ancient city tilted its head, the plane began to turn sharply. This is into the landing state. The engine was humming, and the fuselage shook more violently.

"It's a bit of a bad scenery around the runway, so bear with me. After all, I don't have enough budget. ”

"When you say runway, do you mean the field where there is nothing?"

"Don't speak. Be careful to bite your tongue. ”

"Wait...... Really!?"

In front of the old propeller machine is a grassland where only soil is exposed. It's about the size of an elementary school campus. You can't see the signs in the shop. That's really not a runway.

Yukina couldn't help but hug the ancient city tightly, and there was no time to be shy about it at this time.

The plane landed almost violently on the ground with the momentum of a forced landing. After bouncing off the barren road several times, he slowly slowed down and barely stopped at the edge of the cliff.

Kirishima skillfully unbuckles his seat belt and opens the door that is not closed well,

"It's here. Hurry down, dumb couples. There are other reservations in the future. ”

Staring at the ancient city they hugged each other, he said in surprise.

"So, we're not a couple. ”

The voice of the ancient city's retort was very weak. While holding the hand of Yukina, who couldn't walk, the ancient city slowly got off the plane. The tactile feel of the hard floor that I haven't seen for a long time makes people feel unusually reliable.

"Hase, are they really in this kind of place?"

Looking at the scenery of an uninhabited island with nothing, Gucheng asked. Kirishima smiled meaningfully,

"Who knows. Maybe you'll see it soon...... It's just that you want to survive. ”

“…… Kirishima?"

After they left the plane, they confirmed that Kirishima had closed the door to the fuselage. The plane's engines spun around again, and the small fuselage slowly began to move.

"Sorry, stupid couple. Well, if you want to hate, hate that guy Beatoris. ”

Waving over the window, Kirishima left this sentence. Knowing the meaning of that sentence, Gu Gu froze his expression in astonishment. In order to catch up with the speeding plane, the ancient city ran in a panic,

"Wait...... Wait for me, bastard, uncle!"

"Who's the uncle, stinky boy! I'm only twenty-eight ————!."

The plane took off gently, and Kirishima grew quieter.

The ancient city stared blankly at the body that seemed to be sucked in by the blue sky.

“…… Spare me. ”

Chonghua came out of the shadows, "Sure enough...... I didn't think it was right when I first said it was an island...... Sure enough, it happened, and it was a part that made people not happy at all. ”

……

By the time the ancient city came out of its trance, fifteen minutes had passed.

In this desperate situation, this can actually be said to be very fast.

"Idiot Ancient City, hurry up and sober up. Chonghua looked at the sea helplessly, "This ghost place ......"

Even with anticipation, the plane that disappeared across the horizon did not return, only the chirping of birds sounded mercilessly. The ancient city was completely left on this small, uninhabited island. Because he was deceived by Beatoris Basra.

"That...... No problem, Ji Hiiragi. ”

Approaching Yukina, who had been standing on the shore, the ancient city asked tremblingly.

Turning back with a sad look, Yukina quietly lowered her head. Probably because she was a shrine maiden who prided herself on her powerful psionic abilities, but she didn't see through Beatoris's treacherous schemes.

"I'm sorry, Senpai. It was my mistake. ”

"Ji Hiiragi doesn't need to apologize. It's the same with me when I was deceived. ”

"No, I was negligent. It was clear that it was possible to anticipate that the Megascraft Company might be involved in the incident of the 'Masquerade Attached'......"

"Well, it's not so much negligence...... I can't help it if I'm afraid of being like that in an airplane. ”

"There's no such thing! It's just negligence!"

Anyway, because she is unwilling to back down on this point, Yukina bluffs at this time. Hawkers, what's good, the ancient city used the hood of his coat to cover the strong sunlight, "As a result, is that woman named Beatolis also a member of Haze's father...... Damn it. It was completely counterproductive to go to see him without telling that Yue-chan. "Realizing that this was a mistake in his own judgment, Gucheng now regrets it.

The relationship between the "masquerade attacher" and the Megacraft company, Natsuki-chan is not yet known. That would delay the investigation of the incident, and it would also mean that Xia Yin's position would deteriorate more and more.

It's unclear what Kensei wants to do with his daughter's body, but he does earn valuable time to advance the experiment.

"yes. It was put on the table. I didn't expect to use this method to exclude the 'Fourth True Ancestor' from the String God Island. ”

Yukina said in a tone of remorse. Probably because the ancient city, which was the object of her surveillance, was so easily powerless, she was deeply shocked. Is it a little wrong to burn the direction of the consciousness of confrontation Gu Gu took out his mobile phone while thinking about it and experiencing complicated feelings.

"Signal...... Sure enough, outside the circle. Even if you can use GPS, this kind of island will not be recorded on the map. ”

It's really useless, the ancient city whined and turned off the power.

"If you're lucky, a boat will pass by...... This kind of thing is still impossible......"

"In the waters around the 'Demon Special Zone', the approach of planes and ships is restricted. ”

Yukina calmly speaks the pessimistic truth.

In fact, neither Beatoris nor Kirishima thought of throwing the ancient city into a place where they could be easily rescued. You'll get help right away, so it's better not to look forward to it.

"Hey, it's okay, I'm still expecting what is happening here. But you have to find drinking water anyway. ”

"Water?"

"Do you want to live a few days without water? I've guessed something, though I can take you back at any time...... But seeing what the hell those guys are trying to do, and then destroying them is my goal. The corners of Chonghua's mouth hooked, "And...... I left one last hand. ”
