――I don't know how much time has passed since then. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the sun has completely set, and the surroundings are gradually falling into darkness. Shimichi, who escaped from the stage with the help of Toka, is now hiding in an abandoned building on the outskirts of Tiangong City.

If you wear a maid's costume all the time, it is difficult to move and it is very conspicuous, so I bought a few men's clothes at the free market held in the roadside square and changed the clothes. Needless to say, the voice changer attached to the throat has also been removed, and it has completely changed from Shiori mode back to Shidao.

“…………“

A slight glance at the phone on the shelf.

In the footage, a live broadcast of a news program reporting the unexplained riot in Tiangong City is being broadcast. The figures of tens of thousands of citizens walking in the streets were captured by aerial cameras from helicopters.

Critics made their arguments on the show to get to the bottom of the uprising, but it was of no use.

No one could have imagined that. These tens of thousands of people are just going back and forth in the city to hunt Shido because of Miku's orders.

“…………“

While staring at the screen of his mobile phone, Shidao gritted his teeth. -- Obviously, there are more people than before.

It seems that Miku is not satisfied with the audience in the venue, and is still increasing her subordinates. I don't know how much power the Broken Army Singer has, but if she continues like this, she will be discovered sooner or later.

And even through the speaker, the effect of the Broken Army Singer is still effective. The police team who came to suppress the riot instantly joined the search for Shido after hearing Miku's singing from the propaganda car, and Shido couldn't help but feel desperate after seeing this.

"Abominable ......"

Moaning in remorse, he slammed his fist into the ground.

"I don't have any extra time to waste...... But I'm—"

That's right. It is not just the Mikuwor problem that must be resolved as soon as possible. It is also necessary to rescue Toka who was abducted by the magician of DEM as soon as possible.

As for the company DEM, Shidao is not very clear. However, an organization that regards the killing of elves as its highest purpose and provides manifestation devices to the armies and police organizations of various countries will not be able to treat Toka well.

Shidao tapped his headphones anxiously. But there was only noise coming from the headphones, but beyond that, no one responded.

"After that...... What do I have to do......"

Shido looked distressed and slammed his fist on the ground again.

-- Problems are piling up.

Mijiu who wants to capture herself.

and Yakuya, who was manipulated by her, and Yuxian.

I don't know what the current situation is, Kiriko, Yingcao, Asuna.

Fill the crowd throughout Tiangong City.

Ratatoskr has not been able to get in touch so far.

and the DEM club that abducted Toka.

In order to cope with these problems, everything appears insufficient.

There is not enough time.

There is not enough equipment.

There is not enough combat power.

The most important thing is that Shidao does not have enough strength.

"I ......"

Grit your teeth.

"I-!"

At the moment when the sound came out because of the feeling of powerlessness that swept through the body.

- Hee-hee, hee-hee.

Someone is laughing.

“……！？“

After shaking his shoulders violently, he lifted his head.

For a moment, the citizens who thought they were manipulated by Mijiu discovered this hiding place...... But there was no one around.

But the source of the sound was soon discovered.

-- It's a shadow.

Shadows filled the gloomy room, and a young girl crawled out of it.

A long dress made of blood-red and abyss-like black. Black hair tied up asymmetrically from side to side. In the left eye, a clock face and an hour hand that moves every second appear in the left eye.

and a face that is completely unbelievable to be born beautiful, adorned with a touching smile mixed with pleasure and ridicule.

"Hehe, put on a very gloomy expression~!"

"Are you?!" Shidao showed a puzzled expression, because of the intervention of Tang Wenke, a traverser, caused the third to see Shidao now... Shidao looked at the girl in the black and red gothic dress in front of him, showing a puzzled expression, the only thing that was certain was that this girl was an elf.

"Kurumi Shizaki~It's okay for Shidao-kun to call me Kurumi~" The corners of Kurumi's mouth were slightly hooked, revealing an evil smile, and then he rolled up his long skirt and saluted Shidao.

“..... Kurumi three?" Shi Dao said silently.

"I'm sorry~ Shidao, because there are too many things to deal with~ So I can only see you now~ But you seem to be in trouble now~ Do you need us to help you~" Mad San walked in front of Shidao step by step, and then raised his head to look at Shidao who was taller than himself.

"......!" Shido subconsciously took two steps back, and showed an eager expression after hearing Kurumi say that he could help.

But-

Just when Shidao wanted to ask for help... Shidao and Kurumi's eyes met.

"What......"

Shido opened his eyes in astonishment, but he didn't shout, just stared at the strange sight.

That's a terrifyingly beautiful girl.

Chilling, the word ...... Anyone who has confronted her will be able to understand in an instant that this adjective does not describe her appearance itself. What emanated from her smile was not the affection or joy between relatives and friends, but the absolute calmness of being a predator and the tension that made goosebumps stand up.

Her black hair, which fluttered back and forth whenever she grinned, tied up unevenly from side to side, and the dance skirt woven with blood and shadow that wrapped her luxurious body. Among the factors that make her up alone, the most unusual point is the pair of eyes, the heterochromatic eyes on that dignified and beautiful face. If you look closely, you can see that the clock face appears in her left eye, and the hour hand is clicking and moving regularly.

“...... Crazy Three..."Facing Crazy Three, there were some frightening eyes, and Shidao was a little ashamed and flinched.

Kurumi twitched his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders after hearing Shidao's words.

"Hey, am I mistaken? - Miss Shiito and the Hachimai sisters were taken away by the elves, and Miss Toka was abducted by the DEM Society...... I thought you had run out of things and were at the end of your rope~"

"W-?"

Shidao couldn't help but hold his breath.

-- What Kurumi said was all the truth.

Just a few hours earlier, Shido had confronted Miku Yoyo, an elf who could manipulate music and sound, in the Tengu Square, which was the main venue of the Tenyang Festival.

But under the influence of her Angel Breaker Singer, Shiitono, Yakuya, and Yuzune, as well as all the audience in the venue, are manipulated by Miku.

In addition, they have become enemies in the koto who heard the "voice" through the loudspeaker...... Immediately after that, the DEM magician Allen who suddenly appeared on the scene abducted Toka again.

Shido, who finally escaped death, managed to hide in an abandoned building on the outskirts of the city, but then he could only vent his powerlessness on his fists and pound the ground desperately.

Indeed, what she said was true. But it is precisely because of this that I don't know the meaning of her words.

“…… Why do you know this?"

"Hehehe, don't ask boring things. As long as it's related to Mr. Shido, I know all about it, right?"

After saying that, Kurumi showed a cute smile. For some reason, while smiling, the shadows under her feet squirmed slightly, and multiple laughs could be heard.

"!?" looked shocked and confused.

"Kurumi Tokizaki-" A somewhat tired voice came from behind.

"......." The two who heard the voice turned around at the same time, and in the next moment, both of them showed similar reactions.

"Yo~It's you~ We've met several times~" Kurumi tilted his head, revealing a smile that could kill people.
