Wait until you're done eating and drinking.

It was already two or three o'clock in the morning.

The customers in the store are almost gone.

From the beginning of the crowd, to the current deserted.

Aono and the two belonged to the last group, and only the boss was left to start cleaning up the mess in the store.

After checking out, Aono nodded lightly to the fat boss, thanking him.

Push back the blinds and walk outside.

The summer night breeze brings a hint of coolness, washing away the restlessness of alcohol flowing in the blood.

The streets are just as cool.

There is no moon in the sky, and no stars can be seen.

Only the street lamps not far away, casting a few rays of light.

"Why..... It's ...... me."

"Why is it always me?"

Hitomi Amamiya, who was already drunk and leaning on Aono's shoulder, muttered deeply.

On the delicate face, the eyes are red, and there are faint tear stains.

Everyone wears masks.

Amamiya Hitomi is all the dullness and pain, hidden under the mask of "change" on weekdays.

Probably only on a day like today, will he show his truest side.

It's just that there is one thing that makes Aono feel sorry, he can't understand the emotions of Amamiya's seniors, just like many years ago, before he was admitted to the hospital......

Aono shook his head, reluctant to remember the past.

All he has to do now is send Amamiya-senpai home.

"It shouldn't be too far away......"

Aono stroked the slightly petite Amamiya Hitomi and walked in the direction of his house.

In terms of their image at the moment, he is more like a lucky person who picks up the corpse and goes home.

I walked in the night for about ten minutes.

Suddenly, the street lamp next to him flashed with electric sparks.

"Snort!"

The street lamp was the first to die, and the light disappeared in an instant.

Only the electric light bloomed silently in the darkness.

The paralysis of the circuit is far more than a small street lamp.

From the time the street lamp began to spread, it was a whole three blocks around it, and it was plunged into darkness in the dreary night.

After a few moments, there was a faint sound of expletives coming from several buildings.

But most of the people who haven't fallen asleep in the middle of the night are probably not doing anything serious.

All around, a suffocating silence began.

Aono helped Amamiya Hitomi to stop and hide in a corner beside him.

Subconsciously activated the skill of [Stealth].

[Stealth proficiency +1!] 】

After obtaining this skill through the trait [Camouflage] similar to a character card, Aono really didn't have many opportunities to use it in actual combat.

He is usually a good law-abiding citizen and will not do bad things, so naturally he didn't use his time.

I didn't expect that now, there is a place for him.

Keen inspiration tells Aono that this seemingly sudden power outage is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface!

If it was just Aono, he might not care too much.

But look at the senior of Amamiya who is hanging on him, you still need to be careful!

"Aono-kun, me..... Actually, it's ......."

Hitomi Amamiya was not aware of the changes in the world around her, and said vaguely.

Aono held his breath......

The sense of crisis is closer!

It's just that in this slightly stinging nerve feeling, there is a ..... Like the floral scent of roses?

This association came inexplicably, and what can be confirmed is that this breath is somewhat familiar.

"Drink! Bold and wicked! ”

In the silence, a neutral voice sounded.

It was like lightning piercing the night sky.

Just listening to this voice, you can feel a wave of righteousness rushing to your face.

It seems to contain some kind of unique sound.

That's it...... It's not like a Japanese person can say it.

"I don't know how thick the sky is, and you dare to be presumptuous here, you don't take me in your eyes at all!"

"Boom!"

Not far away, there seemed to be a light lit up.

The Transcendent?

Aono quickly realized this, but he was still hiding in the corner.

I'm not going to join in the fun.

Even though it was a good opportunity to get in touch with the transcendent forces of the Japanese Kingdom, he was still unwilling to take this risk compared to the safety of Amamiya's predecessors.

To be honest, if Hitomi Amamiya's gesture is seen by some homeless people late at night, maybe something not so good will really happen.

Although his real gender is male, there are times when he .......

Aren't men better?

Bursts of peculiar fluctuations came from nearby neighborhoods.

From time to time, the words "Affected by a special aura and ..... judgment" will flash on Aono's panel.

Judging from the performance of Hitomi Amamiya still sleeping peacefully, perhaps only people who are also transcendents will be affected.

[Stealth proficiency +1!] 】

Aono closes his eyes and recuperates, brushing his stealth proficiency by the way.

His concentration is calm, and he will not be disturbed by this.

No matter what happens out there and who they are targeting, it has nothing to do with him.

If it goes on like this, it can be regarded as avoiding a troublesome matter.

However, Aono doesn't want to cause trouble, but trouble will come to the door on his own initiative!

The smell of blood was pungent and strong, wafting through the air.

Just smelling it, you can imagine the picture of a river of bleeding, and the amount of blood loss is definitely very large.

It also brings an eerie sense of familiarity.

Aono opened his eyes, there was no surprise on his face, but he finally recognized the owner of the smell of blood-

- Tomie!

The aggressive smell seemed to invade Aono's nasal passages.

"Whew-"

Aono took a deep breath and looked at the entrance of the alley.

The scarlet shadow was already in front of him.

"Aono-kun...... What a coincidence! ”

Tomie Tingting stood not far away.

Just like when we met that night, I had a charming smile.

As usual, she wore a red dress - it was her favorite color.

The beauty mole in the corner of the eye is the beauty of the charm of life.

It's just that the pale face makes this beauty slightly inferior.

"yes, what a coincidence."

Aono replied.

"I don't know if it's a good thing to disturb Aono-kun?"

Tomie looked at Hitomi Amamiya, who was leaning to the side, half-drunk.

The look in the eyes is the same as when looking at ordinary people.

To her, he was just a stranger.

"It's been a few days since you were separated from me...... Looking for a new love? ”

"People are so sad......"

Aono ignored her, this soul named "Tomie" was good at deception, and there was not a word of truth in his mouth.

His gaze fell on the girl's waist and abdomen.

The clothes were torn open, and a touch of white greasy came into view.

Can be in smooth and delicate whiteness.

There, there was a scorch mark that looked like it had been burned.

Even if every cell is trying to regenerate and try to repair the wound, the special power contained on it, like a cockroach at home, can never be completely eliminated.

Even Tomie needs a lot of time to fight against this force.

In other words, those transcendents do have the means to kill her!

"Aono-kun..... Sister ......"

Amamiya Hitomi's eyelids twitched, and she had a tendency to wake up, but in the end she leaned against the wall in a deep voice.

Aono let out a soft sigh in his heart.
