[Where are we going?] ]

Such a question was written in a sketchbook.

The two people who had just escaped from the Genji Heavy Industries Building were on the top floor of an unknown building at the moment, looking around at the unfamiliar scenery around them, and Eri was inevitably a little dazed in addition to her novelty.

I've always wanted to go out to play, but I haven't thought about where I went over?

Mercer was smiling dumbly, his face still a little pale, he couldn't exercise too vigorously - his body was not a problem with the support of hundreds of devoured Deadpools, but the use of words would involve a chaotic spirit.

Moving a distance with Eri and stopping for a while, it probably relieved her nervousness about escaping from the Snake Eight Family.

As April approaches, the chill of early spring is evident above the tall buildings, and even on a sunny morning, it is difficult to feel any warmth here.

Eri Yi, who lives in a suitable cold and warm nursing room all the year round, has a weak physique, and under the constant blowing of the cold wind, she shiveres slightly in only a thin witch costume.

This is the time to tell a joke: the coat on the original body.

A golden glow flashed.

What was thought to be no different from chicken ribs at the beginning has now become a panacea, and most of the things Mercer wants to do can be achieved without much effort with just a thought.

The surrounding air slowly warms up under the influence of the spirit of words until it maintains a stable and warm temperature.

"Want to play?"

Mercer looked at the red-haired girl who was gradually relaxing because she had become warmer, and she couldn't help but relax the tension of the confrontation in her consciousness. Her eyes are always confused and flattering, reminiscent of the cute little beast in the Disney animation who is separated from her parents in the forest.

It's hard to imagine that such a girl would have the sharp side she used to be.

Faced with his question like an abductor, Eri nodded without hesitation.

- Sure enough, it was an illusion brought about by the power of words.

It's no wonder that the Snake Qi Eight family didn't dare to let her run around alone, even if her bloodline was above most of the half-bloods, it was difficult to say that she wouldn't be hurt by some ordinary people with sinister intentions.

"But you're in bad health, aren't you?"

[I'm okay.] ]

While shaking her head quickly, Eri was afraid of rejection and abandonment, and wrote a line of childish font in the shorthand book.

[Take me to play.] ]

As if pleading, she gently tugged at Mercer's palm, and looked at him resolutely.

Except for the various game consoles, her hands were as smooth as babies when she barely worked, and perhaps to emphasize her determination, Eri stood on her tiptoes, trying to keep their eyes on the same level.

The cherry blossom-like lips open and close silently, and the breath exudes a very pure sense of seduction.

"Your physical recovery is more important than playing."

Mercer, who couldn't stand it, reached out to hold the rickety Eri, and she might lose her balance and fall into his arms the next moment, or fall backwards.

"If you're healthy, there's no one going to stop you from going out and playing."

After shaking for a while, Erika finally gave up her slightly childish behavior and continued to write in her shorthand book with some discouragement.

[It can't be cured.] Doctors say that it can be relieved, but it is difficult to treat. ]

It may be impossible to know how many times she has experienced similar conversations after years of treatment and research on the ξ layer. However, even though she has been rejected and has been receiving little different advice and treatment, she still carefully restrains her small wishes and does not want to cause trouble to the people around her.

"That's their lack of capacity. What I promised was to make you live a normal and happy life. ”

Unconsciously, Mercer rubbed the top of Eri's head, like treating an ignorant little girl.

And she just let him move in a daze, for some reason.

"Trust me, I can cure you, and then you can play as much as you want."

Without explaining the means of treatment, without proving other abilities, and with strong faith and kindness, Eri believed what he said so easily.

It's really simple.

Gently tugging at the cute face with a little baby fat, Eri didn't express any dissatisfaction.

[Thank you.] ]

She wrote earnestly in her shorthand notebook.

Although the person in front of him was still playing pranks with great interest.

"So, let's find a place to live and think about the next schedule. In addition, there are annoying guys catching up from behind. ”

Holding Eri's weak, warm and unresisting body, the pale gold suddenly swelled and retreated abruptly like a tidal wave, and in the next moment, a sudden explosion and impact shattered the ground where they had just stood, and the figures of the two disappeared together.

The belated three groups of the eight ninjas of the Snake Qi had just broken through the gate of the rooftop, and were preparing for a big battle with a long knife and a short spear, but they were blown to the ground by this wave of qi.

"Damn ......"

Of course, the half-bloods with an average blood of A or higher were not harmed, but when they focused their eyes again, the rooftop and the surrounding area were empty.

The team leader couldn't help but burst into a foul language, but what he could do next was nothing but contact the rest of the group leaders and report the situation to his family.

A total of five ninja teams and more than a dozen execution teams, with the assistance of the artificial intelligence 'Kaguyahime', constantly tracked and pursued the dangerous people who held the head of the Uesugi family hostage, but in just half an hour, six encirclements and six failures.

If it weren't for the fact that most of Tokyo's surveillance probes were under Kaguya's control, I'm afraid they would have lost their target after the first failed encirclement.

"What a monster."

Unwillingly, the guns were arranged, and one of the team members touched the scorching ground through the tactical gloves, where there were not even footprints, only a round crack.

The air is covered with mist-like conic pitch barrier clouds, and the sudden drop in pressure when breaking through the speed of sound causes the water vapor to condense into tiny droplets, and even the different colors caused by scattered sunlight can be seen up close.

In this bustling city where the morning sun is rising, above the countless ordinary people who do the same thing on weekdays, a group of half-breeds in black combat uniforms holding guns, mentally exhausted looking at the disappearing rainbow above the tall building, quietly waiting for the next command from the headset.

The team leader closed the insurance of the assault rifle and inexplicably discovered a certain decadent beauty in this scene.

Only two monsters can really get together.

At least it's much better than suppressing yourself.

Unconsciously, such thoughts passed through his mind.

"Continue the pursuit."

The solemn voice of the head of the Wind Demon family, the old man who followed the name of the Wind Demon Kotaro for generations, came from the headset again.

"The latest possible location is in ......"

However, the battle never stops.

Everybody knows it.
