Flame.

Huge flames, blazing brightly.

With a little heat, with a little madness.

An empty cavern, eerily quiet.

There was only a crisp "crackling" sound coming from the campfire behind him.

Mixed with the girl's mournful howl.

"Help me...... Lord Guardian...... Help me......"

The voice that was completely transposed was not at all like it should come from the throat of a young girl, as if it released all the fears of the world in that instant.

With a bloody gaze.

Kazama raised his feathers, but stared blankly, not even having the urge to stretch out his hand.

Let the gradually distorted beautiful face gradually peel off in the miserable wail.

Little by little, it turned into ashes and fell into the wind.

There is a wonderful sense of peace of mind that slowly rises from Kazama's heart.

Withdrawn, indescribable relief.

Fear is the one that exists when a great threat is imminent.

But once the tragedy is a fact, all the fears disappear in an instant.

The object of fear of being harmed no longer exists...... Well, even if you are in hell, you have nothing to fear.

"Save ...... Help me......"

From frightened to unwilling, from unwilling to desperate......

And then, finally, at the end, it turned into a cursed resentment.

As the flame rises, it gradually extinguishes.

But Kazama's eyes were still quiet, without a trace of waves, and even, a little sluggish.

In the sluggishness, there is a slight curvature, outlined from the corners of the mouth.

In an instant, it turned into a crazy smile.

Suddenly.

"Haha, hahahaha, hahahaha......"

Crazy laughter, as if mocking someone, with unbridled profligacy.

"Such a shoddy horror movie, even in the Midyear Festival, no one will find it scary......"

Desperately, holding his stomach, Kazama Hiroha knelt on the ground exaggeratedly, pounding the ground with his fists so hard that he felt like he was about to laugh from tears.

Then, suddenly, it came to an abrupt end.

The body slowly straightened up in a strange arc.

Turning around, his head lowered, he slowly raised his head to face the roaring bonfire.

"Besides, don't you do your homework before the exam, but you can't do it...... Even if you want to be scary, at least, you should take care of the other party. ”

The cold face, without a trace of a smile, and the silver eyes, narrowed slightly, reflecting the blazing firelight, jumping slightly.

The air, unexpectedly quiet.

Only the ashes on the ground, slowly gathering up, gradually rising.

Finally, it turned into a dark shadow, and gradually became clear.

"What are you talking about, Lord Guardian? Qianqian doesn't understand it at all......"

A soft chuckle came from behind, with a hint of doubt, and again, a hint of naughtiness.

"Where's Qianqian?"

There is no turning back, and there is no need to look back.

Faintly, without a trace of emotion, Kazama's figure of a feather swept out quickly, and in an instant it was in front of the girl.

His right hand slammed into the snow-white and delicate neck.

The girl in front of her seemed to have been hit by a huge blow, and her originally smiling cheeks quickly wilted.

Dai's eyebrows are slightly wrinkled, and her almond eyes are misty.

"Boom...... Qianqian is here...... Don't you know the Guardians......"

The low voice, as thin as a mosquito, with timidity, with grievances, makes people can't help it, and they have the urge to rush to appease.

But Kazama Yangyu didn't hear it, and with a sharp force on his hand, a dazzling red mark was quickly strangled out.

"Guardian...... Adult ......"

"Say!"

The tone became colder, and the hands became more forceful.

There was a slight "click" sound coming from the Adam's apple.

At that moment, there seemed to be a trace of tears flashing in his purple eyes.

Let Kazama raise his feathers in a moment, a little trance.

Something slipped from his hand.

Then, in the stunned eyes of the feathers in the wind, it turned into a clear spring, and quickly, it spilled into the ground and disappeared without a trace.

"Giggle...... The Guardian is really ruthless, and he doesn't even have the demeanor to pity the jade at all......"

A faint chuckle came from all directions, with a hint of ethereal.

"But...... If you really want to find someone, you have to be aware of the flames~"

The voice faded quickly.

In the empty cave, only a bonfire burned quietly, making a crisp "crackling" sound.

The head lowered slightly, and the silver eyes jumped slightly, and a trace of haze slowly emerged......

"The Consciousness of Burning Flames......"

Gently, talking to himself, Kazama raised his head suddenly, and his silver eyes were clear, not half confused.

Then, turn around and take one step at a time.

The silver-white figure, just like that, walked straight into the bonfire.

In an instant, it was engulfed in raging flames.

No wailing, no screaming.

Only, the mysterious chant, sounded again.

“Zazasu…… Zazasu…… NasuTanataZazasu……”

——————

"Lord Guardian...... Guardian ......"

A soft call, with a melting-like tenderness.

Gradually, the vague consciousness was pulled back from the chaos.

When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by that familiar face.

"Qianqian ......"

The lilac eyes swayed slightly, like a pool of spring water that could not be dissolved, gently rippling.

In the light of the extinguishing fire, there was something strange and charming.

"Lord Guardian! You're awake! ”

The girl's voice trembled slightly.

In the trembling, what slowly overflows is an irrepressible joy, or is it excitement?

"You...... It's okay......"

The fingertips moved slightly, wanting to lift up, but they couldn't hang down, as if they were tightly bound by something, and the bones of the whole body fell apart in severe pain.

Smiling slightly bitterly, Kazama's heart was slightly relieved.

Yes...... That's it...... Yes, the waterfall has fallen......

"It's all right...... Qianqian didn't have anything to do with it, but it was a little unbearable for the Guardian to become like this......"

Whispering, there was a slight tear in the lilac eyes, flickering gently.

"But the Guardian is a surprise to wake up so quickly...... I thought it would take longer to figure it out......"

A coquettish smile suddenly bloomed.

And with that little bit of tears, there was a trace of indescribable charm.

"So, Qianqian also wants to surprise the Guardian~"

In the dimness, there was a cold light, falling gently.

Silently.

It's like the hands of lovers, obviously so light, so slow, but so suffocating.

The heart, in a moment, throbs.

Crazy, fiery, instinctive, throbbing.

A strange, strange burning sensation, with a subtle tingling pain, came from the lower abdomen.

Then in an instant, expand.

Transform into incredible nerve impulses and rush to the brain.

"Surprised? Not surprised? Isn't it, super-feeling? ”

It's still a coquettish smile, but with a hint of crazy joy.

"Qian......"

Kazama raised his feathers, slightly, opened his mouth, but turned into rapid breathing.

But that charming face suddenly rose a trace of doubt.

"Oh? Is it because it's too dark to see clearly? Then brighten it up, but you have to look at it carefully~"

Smile and bloom again.

With it, the sudden rising firelight.

The dark field of vision, in an instant, was illuminated.

Countless flickering candle shadows gently swayed in the corners of their eyes, like thousands of demons, dancing wildly.

A faint chant sounded without warning.

Accompanied, an unprecedented eerie rhythm.

“Zazasu…… Zazasu…… NasuTanataZazasu……”

Kazama raised his feathers and turned his head sharply.

Then, in a moment, there is a stupor.

Something silver, reflecting a scarlet flesh wall, like a rock wall to form an empty hole****** on the wall, slightly wriggling, criss-crossed, covered with countless meridians, faintly, like a living thing, began to flow slowly.

Just like the scene I saw in that hedgehog hole that day.

It's just that now, Kazama Yangyu's side is missing the company of that beautiful girl......

In their place, there were, fourteen ...... Beautiful girl?!

In addition to the "Qianqian" who suddenly went berserk, around Kazama's feathers, there were thirteen beautiful girls sitting strangely on their knees.

The girls, one by one, knelt on the ground, arranged in a circular equidistant arrangement, and could be able to surround Kazama with Hiroki in the center.

The hands were folded together, revealing a series of sharp daggers, flashing in the jumping firelight, a chilling glow.

The gentle chanting voice slowly spit out from between the delicate lips, turning into red blood and soaking into the surrounding flesh walls.

Let the already scarlet veins flow more rapidly, looking weird and terrifying.

I forgot the time, I forgot where I was, and even, I forgot the lower abdomen, which was gradually burning and aching.

Kazama Shoha was like this, staring blankly and not saying a word.

The blood, from the lower abdomen, slowly flowed down, all the way, to the ground.

"Huh? Guardians? ”

Gently, pushing, but Kazama raised his feathers, but he didn't realize it.

"Could it be...... Is it just like that? That's not going to work...... In this case, how can you enjoy the ultimate happiness? ”

Confused, sad, and then, turned into angry, girlish voice.

"Looks like we can only speed things up a little bit......"

As if talking to herself, the girl suddenly raised her hand vigorously.

In a flash of cold light, blood flew.

A more intense pain came from the lower abdomen.

Along with it, surging out, hot blood.

It's a dream, isn't it...... Still is...... Reality......

However, the intense pain was so real......

"Ahh

For the first time, Kazama opened his mouth and screamed.

All the strength seemed to return in an instant, and the limbs struggled violently.

But it's useless......

Hands and feet have long been tightly bound.

Like a lamb to the slaughter.

"You...... Who the hell is it! ”

With a loud shout, Kazama finally gave up the struggle.

Try to calm down so as not to touch the wound.

"People are Qianqian...... Guardian, don't you know each other......"

Giggling, the girl leaned down slowly, and her burning snort, with a hint of seductive fragrance, gently spit on Kazama's lips.

The heartbeat, which had just stabilized, suddenly began to rage again.

The so-called biological instincts, really...... Even if the other party is a bloodthirsty devil, there will still be this irrepressible throbbing.

Covering up the pain in the lower abdomen, with excitement and joy.

Looking blankly at the familiar but unfamiliar face in front of him, Kazama raised his feathers and took a deep breath.

Then, with a soft sigh.

"You're here for the Night Pearl, right?"

In front of him, there was a soft "huh", and the girl's cheeks suddenly disappeared.

"I see, you know...... What a boring start......"

Low, with a mournful voice, the figure of the maiden suddenly began to shake violently, and then, quickly, re-stabilized.

Revealing a seductive face.

It's more accurate to say that it's more accurate to say that it's not so much a girl as a girl......

The soft posture, with the revealing outfit, between the gestures, but with endless softness, at a glance, it is obviously a living female goblin.

"But you're right...... Because, the main task of people is to summon demons......"
