Sunday.

Minejo University High School is not a boarding school.

That doesn't mean there isn't anyone in school on the weekends.

The students stayed at the school on weekends due to a variety of activities, such as training for sports clubs and the production of magazines for culture clubs.

It's like Qiao Bridge. Come over and help today.

After registering with the security guards, he entered the campus.

There is a lot of work for school workers.

From cleaning, to repairing some utensils, to maintaining school facilities.

Qiao Qiao is responsible for helping to repair some electrical appliances.

"Check the lights in these classrooms, and if there's anything flickering or not bright, record it."

A school worker said to Qiao Qiao and handed him a record sheet.

"Understood."

Qiao Qiao was very serious.

Turn on the lights, check the situation, record, turn off the lights.

On the playground, you can hear the command of the track and field department.

From a distance, you can see that in the archery training ground, the members of the club are contacting.

By the way.

Although this high school has a lot of soul slayer families, the new generation of the organization.

But the sports club is surprisingly not very strong.

The reason for this may be because most of these second generations of soul removal have their own things to be busy.

For example, Ii Masaharu needs to be the president of the student union, and several others also have to practice, so let's get rid of the spirit.

As a result, most talented people do not join sports clubs.

Except for archery clubs.

For example, the poetry of Natsume, a member of the Discipline Commission that Qiao Qiao met before, is one of the main forces of the Aryudo Club this year.

Probably because the shrine maiden also practiced archery at the shrine, she simply joined the club and trained at the same time.

There is one thing to say.

Qiao Qiao thought that he should let the witch join the archery club and compare with other schools.

There is a suspicion of hanging.

After all, you can shoot at a target six kilometers away with your eyes closed.

It's a fool's errand.

Qiao Qiao thought about what he had studied last night while checking it.

From the sixth floor.

to the first floor.

After the inspection, Qiao Qiao carefully checked it again.

Walked out of the school building and prepared to find the school worker.

This time.

The wind is blowing.

The May winds are already a bit hot.

Blowing in the face, it makes the skin a little dry.

If the skin is too dry, it may crack.

“？”

Qiao Qiao looked at his arm.

on the skin.

Tiny scars appeared.

Almost at the same time.

The wind is blowing suddenly.

If it was just a breeze.

Now, then, it's enough to uproot a tree.

Qiao Qiao back.

Resolutely retreated.

Where he was originally from.

Already enveloped by a whirlwind visible to the naked eye.

The record sheet that I didn't have time to take was reduced to shredded paper in an instant.

Flying all over the sky.

"It's ...... Scythe? ”

Qiao Qiao has never fought with youkai head-on.

But for the sake of working someday.

I have read a lot of books about it.

The legend of the sickle was first seen in Gifu Prefecture, and it is also said that the sickle is actually three ghosts, one trips people, one cuts the wound, and the third applies plaster, so that people are quietly injured without realizing it.

In the Kurosaka area near Mt. Yahiko in Niigata Prefecture, the weasel is much more ferocious, and there are even legends of people being killed.

In Qiao Qiao's opinion, this should be the difference between different individuals of the same kind of monster.

The yokai in Gifu Prefecture are relatively mild, and it is possible that they simply pass by and cause people to be injured.

And the one in Niigata Prefecture clearly takes pleasure in mutilating humans.

The body of the sickle is hidden in the wind, and its movements are very fast, making it difficult to catch.

Qiao Qiao confirmed this and immediately started running.

The response was quick.

Man, the weasel laughed.

But even Qiao Qiao's habitual retreat in the face of danger.

He's already looked into it.

No matter how fast people are.

It's not as fast as the wind.

And the wind is everywhere.

The whistling sound exploded, and the swift wind headed towards Qiao Qiao.

Really.

But an ordinary soul slayer.

In this situation where there is no time to prepare, there is simply nothing to fear.

My past self was really too cautious.

It's all because I've been dealing with humans for too long, and I've unknowingly been contaminated with human indecision.

Monster......

It should look like a monster!

The scythe is completely demonized, revealing sharp teeth, bladed arms, and a sharp tail.

As long as he wants.

In less than a second.

He can cut Qiao Qiao with a thousand knives!

The wind is coming!

The sickle rode the wind and rushed towards Qiao Bridge.

At this moment, he is not a demon.

Throughout the ages, those youkai who have been suppressed by humans and gods.

At this moment, the soul possesses.

However.

Qiao Qiao, who had been running away.

Suddenly stopped.

He just stood where he was, as if he had given up resistance.

"Suffer death!"

The weasel couldn't help but laugh.

Blade swing.

It seems to have seen the scene of Qiao Qiao's skin opening and his tragic death.

That's when it happened.

The whole world stood still.

No, it's not that the world stands still.

Rather, the sickle was still.

His movements freeze like a movie film.

I can't move forward a single inch anymore.

Even if it is only one step away from Qiaoqiao.

？

The scythe was also completely clueless, and countless possibilities popped up in his head.

But the next moment.

And he saw.

A member of the track and field club who originally ran in the playground.

A member of the Kyudo Club who is practicing kyudo.

Students of the cultural department club who work overtime for the magazine.

The security guards on duty at the door.

Even, the school workers who walk around the school.

The whole school showed up.

Meantime.

The scythe just made a discovery.

The whole school is shrouded in some mysterious force.

In the vision of the Vision.

A huge circle looms over the campus.

And in the center is where Qiao Qiao and the Weasel are located.

？

The scythe was completely overwhelmed.

Wait a minute.

Isn't Qiao Qiao a soul exorcist who is good at using modern weapons such as firearms?

What's going on with this big array that is enough to imprison the big monsters?

What about this group of people?

This is not the same as saying yes!

At this time, from that group of people, a boy wearing a school uniform came out.

He held a juniper fan in his hand, and beside him, he was followed by several men who were not students at first glance.

He is the president of the student council of the high school affiliated to Minejo University.

Masaharu Ii.

"Qiao San, what you said is really right, it seems that you caught a big fish this time."

Hearing Ii Masaharu's words, Kamato realized.

Those who surround him.

All of them are soul slayers!

If you guessed correctly...... All of them are official priests of Meiji Jingu!

When did Jobashi get mixed up with Meiji Jingu?

During this period of surveillance, he shouldn't have had a chance to make such a plan?

The scythe is full of question marks.

"Let me answer it for you."

Masasharu Ii seems to like this kind of link very much.

Anyway, it's also his strength, Qiao Qiao doesn't care.

"Do you think there is only one layer of the barrier at the High School Affiliated to Minejo University? Where you perceive, and where you can't, there are countless layers of enchantments that monitor everything in there. ”

Massaharu Ii laughed.

"Naturally, the anomaly of the wind has been monitored, and the youkai who controls the wind is naturally your scythe...... You just took a picture here, right? ”

He asked, glancing at the priest beside him, who was following the camera with a camera.

"It's taken, young master."

？

Wait a minute.

So?

The scythe suddenly thought.

From the very beginning, Masaharu Ii knew that he had invaded the campus?

What about his conversation with Qiao Qiao......

The scythe relied on the flow of air to hear this conversation clearly, and didn't mention anything about her, right?

"Do you want to ask, how did Qiao San and I communicate without relying on words?"

Masaharu Ii approached the scythe.

"The answer is blinking."

"While the two of us were talking, we typed out Morse code in the blink of an eye, and we briefly communicated about it."

？？？

Blink???

Morse Code ???

The weasel thought back to that time.

“...... There are suspicious items. ”

Qiao Qiao said methodically.

(I'm being targeted by a possible youkai and asking for protection.) ）

"Suspicious item?"

Massaharu Ii's eyes sharpened.

(It's true that youkai have invaded the campus.) ）

“...... Collected items. ”

Qiao Qiao took out the evidence bag.

(We can set traps.) ）

“...... Defusing the crisis? ”

(You find an opportunity to come to school on Sunday, and I'll solve it when the time comes, and as for these days, I'll assign people to protect you.) ）

？？？

This is how the two of them communicated???

He thought that Qiao Qiao was alone and would not have so many helpers.

I didn't expect ......

"You, you are so despicable, human beings, you can bully more and less!"

The trapped sickle screamed with all its strength.

“？”

A question mark popped up on Qiaoqiao's head.

"More to bully less?"

"Wait, do you think I'll be alone fighting an unknown enemy after learning that I've been assassinated one after another?"

"Since there is Meiji Jingu to provide protection and help, why can't I use it."

"Isn't numerical superiority the basic principle of battle, which should be won first and as much as possible everywhere?"

Youkai, times have changed.
