"That's right! The few of you monsters that appeared on the ship must have something to do with that thing just now! ”

"Self-righteous youkai!"

"Half-Immortal! Don't keep them anymore! Otherwise, there will be youkai in the future! ”

The oarsmen, who were led by one or two young men, who were already a little bloody, immediately began to shout one after another, and had the urge to tear Arlie apart.

However, have they forgotten that there is also a funeral god on the ship that is about to take shape, which is also a monster made by them themselves, but they selectively ignored it.

"Shut !! me"

Ruoyama Yu is familiar with Alice's appearance back then, and there is nothing particularly strange about Alice now except that she is exposed as a monster.

Except for the identity of the Knife Splitting Woman...... But instinctively, he felt that there was something hidden in this, and that kind Alice would never suddenly become like this!

Ridiculous trust. Suddenly, it was the reason in his head that said this to him, but he understood......

Perhaps, is it because I really want a child like Alice?

Perhaps, it is loved like a brother?

Maybe...... Maybe it's love?

"My lord! Can! ”

"I said, shut up!"

Looking at those who didn't believe their ears, Wakayama feathers once again stared angrily at the oarsmen.

“...... Alice.

… Is that you? ”

A question that made him feel a little stupid, obviously so certain just now, but now when she said it herself, she fell into denial.

The sword in his hand just hung in the direction of the deck, and he only looked at Ellie, waiting for the other party's answer.

“…… Who knows... Feather..."

Ellie looked at the old man, then thought about how she was still the same child, and thought it was a little funny.

“…… I'm not an exorcist anymore. ”

"So ......"

"I'm just a monster, and I also have a share in the death of the Otomo family."

Erli shook her head, not wanting to say too much, and Wakayama Yu, who tensed her body slightly, also completely relaxed when she heard this.

However, the look in his eyes, as if he was dead, completely devoid of his own desires.

"Don't be fooled by her, Lady Half-Immortal!"

A man suddenly drew a dagger out of nowhere and threw it straight at Ellie's door.

The man was a little closer to Ellie, but in Ellie's eyes, there was nothing special.

"Huh?"

With ease, Ellie grabbed it, but slightly into her eyebrows, and the reason was an extra hand that grabbed the handle of the dagger at the same time.

“…… Proper? ”

Erli was a little surprised, not that she didn't notice Chang's movements, but that the little guy actually stood up. It's just that he didn't seem to be doing a favor, but instead stabbed the dagger slightly into his skin.

"Mom...... Mom! ”

Looking at the small beads of blood oozing from her forehead, she immediately panicked, let go of her hand, and hurriedly looked at her mother, for fear that something would happen to the other party.

“… That's a youkai too? ”

Feeling the traces of the previous fluctuation of the demon power, Wakayama Yu adjusted himself slightly, but what also surprised him was that this monster was not very big.

It's not quite imaginary with Yakumo Murasaki, but it's similar to those tengu?

But what about wings?

"It's okay... Just tell me next time? ”

She rubbed it gently, and the wounds and blood were gone, and then, with a smile, Ellie smiled at Chang, who was about to cry, and soothed. But in her heart, she asked about Zi.

"The power of the wind?"

Purple still maintained that hostile expression, but the tone of her voice was extraordinarily relaxed, more like a joke.

"That's right... Your human lover has seen it. ”

“…… But... She doesn't have wings, huh? ”

Ignoring Purple, Ellie then asked her, and at the same time, handed the slightly rusty dagger to the little one.

Yi Wanchang took the dagger with both hands and picked it up tremblingly, with Erli's blood slightly stained on it.

"Maybe it's her own strength, even if she doesn't have wings, she can use the power of the wind to make herself fly or sprint."

"That means she can go back to the Tengu tribe."

"Not necessarily, don't forget, Riluoin is talking about wings, not abilities.

With the ability, you need time to prove it. ”

"Really...... Proper! ”

The latter sentence suddenly shouted, because after the little guy looked at the dagger in his hand, he suddenly picked it up with one hand, and obviously felt the blessing of the demonic power.

Although it was an insignificant existence in the eyes of all youkai and exorcists, her eyes and the direction of the dagger tip were staring at the oarsman who had just thrown the dagger!

"Bad... Bad humans. ”

Although it sounded very immature and cute, it did not restrain its killing intent at all, and released it straight towards the humans over there.

"Chang!"

"Whew!"

However, just as she was about to throw it out, she was startled by Leigh's slightly stern voice. However, the knife still came out, but it was completely deflected in that direction, missing the man, and instead stabbed directly into the broken mainmast.

It's a piercing, and the metal part has been completely swallowed by the wood.

“……”

Ruoshan Yu, who had already drawn his sword and stood in front of the oarsman, looked at the dagger and the culprit behind him who was a little afraid, and was silent.

And Yi Wanchang completely threw out his demonic power, so as soon as the knife came out of his hand, the little guy immediately weakened his legs and fell into Erli's arms.

But I'm still conscious, just panting, my face is a little red, and the overdraft is not very serious, but it's okay.

"Purple, I'll leave it to you."

"Ahh

Zi said indifferently, but her eyes were the same as those of Erli, and she drifted towards Yi Wanchang.

"Let's go back with Purple first, okay?"

"Hmm...... Mother... Mom..."

The little one's mind was fine, but his voice was very weak, and he flashed between them, and sent her back to the house, and Purple also returned to the house.

“… Sure enough, all these years

… Still hasn't changed? ”

Ruoshan Yu shook his head, saying so easily, but his body had already taken a few steps forward.

"It's like dealing with those youkai before...... Is it?

Indeed... I pressed one of your arrows at the beginning. ”

Erri smiled lonely, but in the eyes of others, the leaking killing intent could no longer be hidden.

"It's just a change of position now, right?"

Seeing that Erli took the first step, Ruoshan Yu also sank down and stared at Erli, the battle between the swords, he didn't have much contact.

"yes......"

Erlie, who had taken the first step, muttered.

A flash.

Unleashing a hint of magic in her eyes, Erli, who was standing behind Wakayama Yu, turned the blade over, looked at the panicked humans, and whispered to the half-immortal who had fallen to the ground.

"Just the stand."
