On the other side, Ling chased You and Yue for a while, and suddenly stopped.

"Hey~ Do you want to play eagle catch chickens more than peek-a-boo?"

Ling spoke to the quiet air around her.

Beside her, at some point, a red demon silhouette with the shape of a mountain appeared.

The demon has red skin reminiscent of blood, a back full of bone spurs, one-eyed, and carries a huge stone pillar. There was some kind of inexplicable tyranny about it. The malice condensed into a faint blood-red color, and even the fog around it was stained with this ominous color. On its broad head, a kimono figure stood quietly.

"Ah, isn't this a phantom? There are a lot of good toys~"

Ling smirked, teasing the demon that the phantom was proud of as a toy.

Perhaps it was understood, or perhaps it was nature, and the demon purred in his throat, similar to a dog's low drink.

"Annihilate the Angels...... ......"

He seemed to be confused, and he seemed to be simply explaining.

As soon as the phantom opened his fan, the figure of the red demon under his feet gradually disappeared, and he slowly fell to the ground, as if a pair of invisible hands were dragging him.

"Greetings for a long time."

The phantom bowed shallow to Ling. He wore a cyan kimono today with a ghost tattoo on it, and his face was as bloodless as ever. Ling sometimes feels that the phantom ghost will suddenly die of anemia that day.

"Hey~~ yes, I haven't seen you for a long time. Now, phantom, you're really carrying out a plan? ”

Ling asked with some curiosity.

From what she knew, the phantom was not the type to actively participate in the project, and the only thing that mattered to him was to exterminate humanity. He had been invited by Wiseman to the Gospel Project in Liebel, but he did not participate in it on the grounds that "the small casualties were not worth participating."

"Yes. The Three Pillars' responsible Phantom Flame Project. ”

"Eun, someone has replaced 'Professor' (the nickname of the former Three Pillars "White Face" Wiseman) so soon. ”

"Yes."

They just talked about the Snake of Body. After all, Ling is also the original executor, and she is still more concerned about the intelligence within the association. After the gospel project, Ling did not return to the association, but ran to Crossbell. Here, there is a "grandfather" who loves Ling very much and has a very cold relationship with the association: Jonachus.

"However, it doesn't matter~ Ling's relationship with the professor is not good~"

"Which side of the Annihilation Angels are?"

Headless and brainless, the phantom suddenly threw out such a sentence. Ling was stunned for a moment, and then understood that he was asking about his position. On the face of this little girl, a little girl with a big ghost suddenly had a bewitching look that only mature women can have.

"Who knows, Sa. Ling, it's not either. If she had to say anything, Ling only wanted to follow the side that could make Crossbell interesting. Who made Ling a 'kitten'~"

Ambiguous answers. But the phantom seemed satisfied. He nodded slightly, his body fading into the fog.

No matter how many times I look at it, I feel that this is a god-level technique. This guy's use of fog is simply horrible.

Support Section They, Yu Tatsumi and them, they must have a lot of headaches, right?

But ~~ This has nothing to do with Ling~~ The more headaches they have, the happier Ling becomes~~

Who made Ling, such a child?

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

When Ling found You Heyue, You Zheng was sitting on the ground sweating profusely, with the sweet smell of blood on his body, he seemed to have just experienced a vicious battle, his breath was not smooth, and he was breathing heavily.

"Ah, big brother~"

Ling smiled and trotted over to him.

"Ah, Ling."

"What's wrong? Looking weak? ”

Amber eyes narrowed slightly into a seductive slender shape, and Ling looked at You with a wicked smile like a little devil. As if to imply to him, now you, Ling can be killed at once!

Perhaps sensing Ling's joking murderous intent, Yue Heng took a step sideways to block between the two. The meaning is obvious, if you want to move your seniors, then knock me down first.

What a strange combination. The active executor blocks the original executor on the grounds that the original executor wants to attack the enemy of the association. Thinking of this chaotic relationship, Ling sneered, and her little body trembled slightly like a cat.

"Don't be so nervous."

In her character, there is both the wisdom of an adult and the fickleness of a child. For her, it was just a little joke, and it was a funny thing for Yue Hui to take such precautions.

Ling looked at the scene and probably understood what was going on.

It must have been the blue-haired policeman who protected the two children. As for the attackers, there is no doubt that they are phantom demons. Luciola, who is also the executor of Ling, the phantom's teacher, once said so about him.

"If you talk about magic skills alone, he has surpassed me as a teacher. Should I be happy? ”

Although this man is physically weak, he is the strongest in manipulating demons. The strongest in the absolute sense. After all, he's a demon.

"Ling, you like funny things, don't you?"

Suddenly, You spoke.

Ling nodded. There's nothing to hide.

"So, let's do something fun. It's funny enough to make someone smoke. ”

Yuki's face showed a wicked smile.

In a trance, Ling felt like he saw Wiseman's face appear behind him.

But so what?

"Yes, yes! Ling, I like interesting things the most. ”

――――――――――――

Supporting Corey, everyone looks listless.

After all, there's not much to do at such times.

Hexu and Tio are doing something in their room because they have a mission from the Epstein Foundation, which is not bad.

Others will have to work hard. There was no entertainment, which made the wait unusually long.

By the way, Randy had the hardest time, and he wanted to go back to his room to read the magazine, but he was embarrassed to be the first to say goodbye. Read the magazine in front of everyone, the magazine he reads is the type of magazine that can't be used for other people to read......

Perhaps it was too much idleness, and everyone began to prepare their own weapons. Lloyd's whirlwind Ellie and Noelle's gun are both guiding products that require careful maintenance.

In the atmosphere of decadence, only Crutz exuded a quiet temperament, he quietly poured himself tea, and then tasted it slowly.

Suddenly, Randy, who was lying at the window bored, picked up the axe and gun in his hand and guarded it. Without a trace, Crutz leaned the spear on his shoulder.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door.

"Below is the Carrumen consortium, Dior. I'm sorry to bother you without a reservation. ”

Opening the door, in the thick white mist, Dior's gentle smile was revealed.

"I've heard you're training, so I'd like to ask, would Officer Lloyd be interested in taking on my challenge?"

Dio said, raising his weapon, a pair of training whirlsticks, made of two logs, crude and crude. Hearing him say this, Randy turned his body a little strangely to let him in.

Following a polite man, Randy was really embarrassed to embarrass him. He's always so gentle that it's hard to get up with an aggressive mentality towards him.

Lloyd was also a little strange, and he couldn't grasp his mind.

After all, Dior is also a member of the Carumon consortium no matter what he says, and Lloyd really doesn't know whether to trust him or not.

This person can always feel a feeling very similar to himself, and under that gentle attitude towards others, he is wise and insightful. Lloyd always felt that this young man named Dio was a hidden conspirator. At least, an unusually shrewd person.

But...... Is it really good to just say no?

Lloyd's eyes inadvertently glanced at Randy, and then, over Randy's broad shoulders, he looked out the window.

In the fog, his companion was dealing with the mutation alone.

Is it really good to refuse Dior's help like this?

Lloyd was a little confused.

He never believed that force was the best way to solve problems, and that talk was the key to solving problems rather than weapons.

But is power really unnecessary?

However, if I go to Dior for advice, is my power still my power?

Lloyd once mistakenly thought that he had changed this person's hesitant character, but in fact, human nature is not something that is so easy to change.

But...... If it's the big brother......

Before you know it, it's starting again. Lloyd gave up his identity as "Lloyd", gave up his thinking as "Lloyd", and made himself "Guy".

If it's the big brother...... Yes...... Isn't that obvious?

"Then it's troublesome, Dior."
