Yaeji felt that it wouldn't be long before a wave of dead soldiers broke out in Europe.

It's not because of the mutation of the Black Death, but because the weakened Heavenly Mandate Holy See has been interspersed with too many eyeliners, and the most rough energy operation plan left for the Holy See has been leaked out.

The major forces in Europe are looking for scattered information about psionic cultivation methods.

Thinking of Otto's black face, Yae Ji smiled nervously.

At this time, he was in the Deep Diver, and according to the map, he was very close to Shinano.

For some reason, he didn't feel like he was in the mood to go home at all.

It took several months to get back and forth on the ships bound for Shinano, and Otto's steamships were only experimenting on a small scale in the sea, and were not used for the time being.

Yae Ji nestled in the seat, holding a black-purple box in his hand, and one of the corners of the box extended a lightning-like crack.

Even so, the corrosive aura inside did not leak in the slightest, and Suzu was borrowing the power of the Eroding Lawgiver to urge the formation of the Divine Key.

"Drip~Drip~"

Raising his eyes and glancing at the screen of the Deep Diver, Yae Ji spoke, "I'll get here today, and you can go back and rest." ”

A black mist floated out of the black box, and Yae Ji immediately put the black box into his backpack.

The girl's figure composed of black mist tilted her little head and slowly poured into Yaeji's body.

'As long as you put it away, you won't be able to perceive the aura of the core, which is even more powerful than the rumored Void Lawgiver!'

Suzu thought for a moment, and continued to nest in Yaeji's consciousness space, looking at the black strange fox in the folder that had become a dead dog.

'The two of us are one!' You are me, I am you. Would you rather trust outsiders than yourself? ’

The message transmitted by the lawyer's personality appeared in his mind, and Suzu stayed there without moving.

'If it weren't for the lawyer, how could my sister die······

'If it weren't for humans, Sakura wouldn't have died······

The exchange of Suzu and the lawyer's consciousness, Yae Ji didn't care, he had learned about this matter in detail, and he felt quite complicated, and there was even a trace of dog blood.

How strict is the place to guard the law, and how did the agitated warriors get there?

Is there someone up there? Or is it something else?

。。。

Yae Village is surrounded by mountains, and when you step out of the mountains, you will find a strange circular wasteland that blocks off the dense jungle.

Walking to the other side of the woods, out of the woods, it won't be long before you reach the only big castle outside Yae Village, 'Ryujo'.

I heard that Takashi Kanzuki had returned from his studies, but Yae Ji had no plans to meet his old friend.

Stand on the edge of the wasteland.

His strength is not what it used to be, and he can feel the heat coming from the wasteland.

An energy that contradicts the ice element in his body seems to be controlling everything in this land, turning it into an absolute territory.

However, this wasteland also blocked the Honkai Beasts in other regions.

Squatting down, reaching out and touching the dry earth, his fingers sandwiching the clods into fine sand, Yae Ji clapped his hands, stood up again, and looked at the mountains not far away.

The god enshrined in the village may be a Honkai beast that has lived for an unknown number of years.

And it belongs to the type that has not been completely infected, and there is a flesh and blood body, which makes Yae Ji very curious.

An Emperor-level Honkai Beast born in this era of civilization?

It's not very much like that.

Close to the imperial level?

Yae Ji gathered his breath and walked into the wilderness, skimming over the mountain peaks, and staying on the original mountain path for a moment.

He used to carry Rin on his back and Sakura on his back and walk past here.

The mountain road still looked the same, and after glancing at it, he quickly came to the village.

The cherry blossom trees at the top of the hill are filled with the fragrance of flowers, and the cherry blossoms and greenery blend together, all of which show that the village has recently had good weather and rain.

When he came to Daisuke's tomb, the green vines completely wrapped him, and even the stone monument that had been erected before was already crooked, and it looked like it was about to fall to the ground at any moment.

After cleaning it up, Yaeki came to the shrine.

Lying on his side, where he and his sisters once lived.

The beds, the medicine jars, everything hasn't changed, not even the dust.

A broken knife was placed on the wooden rack where the weapon was kept, and Yae Ji silently closed the door.

There are villagers worshipping the fox god at the shrine, and from this position, you can faintly hear the heavy coughing sound in the backyard.

After worshipping the fox god, the villagers stood up, their faces worried.

"Last time, the doctor from Ayutthaya came to see him, and he said that the god was suffering from tuberculosis, and he would die sooner or later."

"Former Rin-sama······ Isn't that also the disease? ”

"Be quiet!"

"Aren't Lord Ji and them both in the big city? Call them ......."

"Don't talk about this, let's go quickly, when you will bring food to the gods, don't breathe, that disease, whoever gets involved will die!"

The two villagers, who looked quite familiar, left together, and Yae Ji sensed the faint breath in the back room.

In my memory, when I was a child, I began to open it, and ripples bloomed again in my state of mind.

"This is your sister, cute~ I have to protect her well in the future."

"I'll find a doctor in Oyutthaya for Rin's illness······"

"The duty of the Eightfold God Lord is ······"

"I have a Kenshin?"

"This is the fate of our Yae clan, a curse."

"Sooner or later, you'll be like me, and everyone will eventually become the person they hate the most."

"At least after I'm dead, I hope you can come back."

“······”

The frantically vibrating ripples seemed to press the rewind button, and the splashed water droplets returned to Tan one by one, until the last circle of ripples contracted and disappeared, and the water surface did not move at all.

Outside, it was windy, rainy, thundering, and lightning······ The fixed surface of the water faintly changed color, like a stone mirror, covered with dust blown from the outside world.

Yae Ji gasped slightly, lowered his eyes, and sensed a circle in the shrine, and the figure appeared at the altar position not far away.

Legend has it that this is the closest place to a "god".

A fox mask from a shrine hangs on the side face, and the red lacquer outlines a mysterious pattern on the white porcelain-like fox face, and there is an evil spirit brewing in it.

Yaeji calmed down.

He knew that the fox god was in the village, where was it······ Just the altar piece is most likely.

Thanks to the spiritual power exercised by the daily condensation of ice flowers, as well as the power brought by the heart, Yae Ji carefully sensed the underside of this altar.

It didn't take long for consciousness to sense a large cloud of warm breath beneath the altar.

Between each breath, a lot of water is lost from the ground.

Yaeji had already affirmed that this was a Honkai beast that controlled the fire element.

Otherwise, with the geographical location of Yae Village, it is good that there is no flood every year, how can there be a shortage of water?

Just as Yae Ji was about to retract his consciousness and let Suzu appear, the sleeping fox god seemed to have just woken up.

“······ You ······ That's it······ This year's ······ Shrine maiden? ”
