The most important thing in his mind is this pure white master.

The name is White.

He's a crybaby and nosy.

However, he is also hopelessly gentle and kind.

You should, right?

Be a good person.

Not sure though.

However, since a promise was made, Nicol.

I'm going to do my best.

Nicol. How are you now?

How are you doing?

I really want to meet.

Looking forward to the reunion.

I didn't expect it to be so painful when the wish came true.

Completely unexpected.

Not to mention himself, even the most important master, Bai Bai, was seriously hurt.

White girl with black cat.

Descend to the ground.

Cover everything, O snow.

In order to cover everything with pure white.

The snow is falling and falling -

I want to cover my eyes.

It's really, so miserable.

Facing the scene in front of him in vain, he was speechless.

It was as if he had been enchanted and couldn't move, and other deaths passed by him one after another.

The Grim Reaper, covered in black cloaks, descended to the ground one after another, and without any hesitation, immediately began to work mechanically.

It's like a programmed robot.

All of them have the same appearance and do the same movements.

「…… For nothing, we have to join in......

Daniel watched her master's reaction as he reminded her of what else needed to be done.

「…… Hmmm......"

Daniel landed on the ground first, hesitated for a moment, and followed.

As soon as he landed on the ground, he was forced to let those scenes into his sight without choice.

Left and right, even if you look up, all of them are filled with black smoke.

The location where Bai Bai and Daniel are located is the scene of a traffic accident.

Due to the continuous snowfall for several days, the road surface was slippery, and the large buses could not avoid it and rushed into the traffic jam.

The cause of the accident was speeding and brake failure.

A small car that is no longer recognizable, plus a large bus that has overturned.

A burst of burnt smell.

Tires and glass shards, body parts, scattered on the opposite lane.

A large number of dead appeared.

The Reaper in charge of this case alone could not transport all the souls to the Heavenly Realm.

As a result, the other Grim Reapers, too, came here to help with the delivery work.

This time is a special case, even in vain, he has received an order from his "superiors", so he is standing here at this moment.

On all sides, surrounded by flames and wails.

The indescribable tragedy poured into Bai Bai's heart.

The color of fire, the color of blood, the blackened sky.

Dyeed, pure white snow, gradually melting.

Whether it is human body or steel or snow or memories, all gradually melt and fade away.

Tongues of fire spread.

In vain I want to close my eyes, cover my ears, and close all my feelings, but I can't.

Because I'm a god of death—

was given a task. The soul must be sent to the heavenly realm.

Besides, even if she escaped in vain, she would only let other Grim Reapers' fill her place.

Rather than that, she would rather escort these souls by her own hands.

All the pain, all the sorrow, all the bitterness, as long as you can bear it, you are willing to bear it.

In order to appease and escort these spirits, close their eyes in vain.

Swing the gray scythe and dance lightly with Daniel.

The light shines, and the soul is severed from the physical body and ascends to the heavens.

However, as the number of souls continued to increase, Bai Bai's expression became more and more solemn.

The reason is that the thin body bears the thoughts of the soul, and uses more than several times more strength than usual.

Even as a Grim Reaper, you can't escort a large number of souls at once like this.

In particular, compared to other animals, human beings have strong positive and negative emotions such as "longing" and "obsession".

Therefore, to cut the human soul from the physical body, a great deal of force must be used. Although there is a sickle as an auxiliary tool,

In vain, it is almost never used.

She is the only one who can dance for the sake of calming souls.

The other Grim Reapers, who mechanically cut their souls away from their bodies and sent them away, use tools.

There is no emotion in the process.

It's just that he is working indifferently.

However, it could not be done in vain. That's why power is overused, especially when a large number of souls are transported at once, as is the case now.

There is also the thought of the soul that makes Bai Bai sad.

It is a couple who are worried about their young daughter who is home alone.

Something that the couple could not accomplish.

A wish to celebrate her daughter's birthday. I want to say a word to my daughter.

I want to say a good word to her, happy birthday.

What is the kid doing at this moment?

You may think that you have been abandoned by your parents.

「…… I will convey it, and I will definitely convey it. All the sorrows, all the tears, I have received them......

However, the white body collapsed in an instant.

His feet were weak, and he was supported by a scythe, barely holding back himself from falling.

"In vain, don't be too reluctant, no matter how you say it, you can't escort so many souls at once. Anyway, there are other Grim Reapers, so there's no need for you to continue."

Daniel hurried to her side.

In vain I can't stand it, the way other Grim Reaper sends away souls without emotion.

Souls who have not yet accepted the fact of "death" and do not know whether they are dead or not are cut off from the physical body without compassion.

In vain, the more souls you come into contact with, the more you can avoid these things.

Because of this thought, they will overuse their power and escort too many souls at once.

「…… Never mind...... I...... I don't care ......."

It didn't look like it didn't matter at all, and I tried to get back on my feet in vain.

But he lost his balance and finally fell to the ground unable to support it.

"In vain!"

Daniel immediately wanted to pick up his white body.

"Uhh......hh

- In vain.

Instead, it became a white meat pad.

"For nothing...... Don't, don't worry......"

Until then, you have to find a way to solve your dilemma.

「…… No, I can't help it...... Even if I was reluctant, I had to ......."

Daniel popped and changed his appearance.

Transform into the same human appearance as White.

"Good...... First of all......"

It's just that the result of the transformation in a hurry is to accidentally leave behind a small white tail at the end.

Daniel didn't notice the dew and picked up the white body directly.

"In vain!"

"Huh...... Daniel...... Aren't you very annoying...... Transform into a human...... Yes?"

In vain, in a state of prostration, so jokingly said.

"What are you talking about! I'm ...... for nothing."

Although the tone was strong, Daniel breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the owner still has the strength to joke.

That's when —

- Fuck off.

Including Bai Bai, as well as Daniel, and the other Grim Reapers, this voice sounded directly in their heads.

Daniel was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked up into the sky.

In the middle of the air filled with black smoke, the figure of "that guy" appeared.

A being blacker than black - UK.

Even if you want to forget, you can't forget it, it has been deeply imprinted in Daniel's eyes.

The guy who hurt the master.

"That guy...... Hey...... No, it won't......

There was a bad premonition.

High in the sky, the iron-gray scythe in his hand was raised high.

Then, in the next instant, the scythe slashed lightning bolts. Lazy people listen to books

- Uh-ah-ah——!

A terrifying powerful shock wave shot into the ground.

"Play, play, really?"

Daniel desperately picked up and ran wildly.

From the eyes of humans, it must be thought that the explosion was caused by gasoline.

Actually, this is a good thing that the UK does.

Destructive enough to level the scene of a car crash.

Even the human beings who are not on the predetermined list of deaths must have been affected, and many souls have been added.

No, it's not just that.

Even the Grim Reaper, who is working on the job, should have been affected a lot.

If Daniel's escape had been slower, he might have been one of them.

"This, this, what does this guy want to do......

Daniel quickly raised his head and glared into the air.

"Huh...... Yay?"

However, the UK is no longer there.

Instead, not far ahead, Nicol rushed to the scene in a panic.

"Lord, Master......"

「…… Nicol ...... You're moving too slowly."

The guy—uk," said with the same face as the white girl on the ground.

Nicol himself was indeed quite surprised by this.

A Grim Reaper with the same face as his master.

And the white Grim Reaper is also called "DEATH", which is the complete opposite of his unique master.

Moreover, the other party's acolyte is a good friend who he has known since he was a child.

I don't know why his master would attack the white Grim Reaper, so that he was watched by his best friend with such sad and angry eyes.

…… Merely...... Some things have to change, Daniel.

I'm not wrong......

"yes, I'm sorry!"

Nicol's eyes didn't meet even once, and he bowed his head deeply.

"Forget it...... It's over anyway......

"Huh?" Nicol panicked.

It's over?

Anyway, it's too fast.

The number of souls to be transported on this trip today should not be so easy to solve.

Even if UK is a good Grim Reaper, there is a limit to how fast you can move.

Nicol looked at the scene in horror.

Black smoke and tongues of fire rose everywhere.

That's an exaggeration...... In this case, won't the number of deaths exceed the predetermined number......

"This... What the hell—"

Nicol had just spoken, when he was interrupted by uk.

"That's it. Is that all right?"

"But, but ......"

"Nicol, it's your duty to clean up the aftermath, so I'll leave it to you......

"Good, good......"

Immediately, uk sneered and glanced at the ground, as if confirming something.

In just a short moment, it seemed to melt into the air and disappeared without a trace.

Nicol could only watch her leave, left alone in mid-air.

At this time-

"-Nicol!"

Daniel returned to his original form, vibrated his bat-like wings, and lunged in front of him.

「…… Daniel ......"

Just like the previous reunion, it was completely different from the past, and the friend looked at him with an angry and stern expression.

"Nicol! Where did that guy go?"

The so-called guy, of course, refers to uk.

Nicol immediately understood what he meant, but deliberately played dumb.

"I don't understand, who's that guy?"

"What are you talking about! That's the guy! O your master!"

Daniel was visibly angrier than he had just been.

And no wonder. Who told Nicol himself to say such things?

Why do once good friends have to kill each other like this?

Daniel and Nicol were equally puzzled by this question.

Daniel couldn't understand why he had to be so angry with his friend.

But it's you, Nicol, who is wrong.

Why, do you have to work for that kind of guy......

Daniel, the acolytes who follow the Grim Reaper, can't choose their own masters.

It can only be determined by the "superior" at its sole discretion.

These commands are transmitted to the brain in a telepathic manner, so to the outer Neils, the "superiors" are beings who have never met or talked to each other.

Even though the orders given by the superiors are the result of random assignments, the acolytes have their own sense of honor and hope to help their masters complete the task and play their role well.

"My master is no longer here." Nicol said in a calm tone.

"Why is this happening? Messed up the ground and walked away?"

"That's right, the master's job is over."

Daniel was even more indignant at Nicol's overly calm attitude.

"Work is work, isn't it? Anyway, it's too much. It's all a good thing your master has done. Nicol, look at the ground! Don't you feel anything when you see that kind of sight?"

When he said this, Nicol could no longer respond calmly.

A view from the ground.

How is it possible to be indifferent?

However, I am my master's acolyte.

For me, the host is everything.

The master is, my whole world......

Anyway, you're the same, right?

Aren't you too, working for that failing white Grim Reaper?

In fact, as a demon acolyte, there can be no doubt at all.

This kind of thing is not even allowed to be thought about.

Nicol reinforced, looking firmly at Daniel.

"Goodbye, Daniel. I still have work to do."

With that, he turned around and prepared to leave in front of Daniel.

"Wait a minute, Nicol!"

As a result, Daniel stopped his movements.

"What, why do you say that, why do you say that? Why can you be as if nothing happened! Didn't we say yes—we said we wanted to be a good acolyte!"

Daniel's tone bordered on pleading.

Nicol was almost overwhelmed by his friend's sincere eyes, and he instantly withdrew his gaze.

"It's my job!"

"Because it's work, can I not have any doubts?" Daniel asked.

"Yes, that's right! Isn't that what we're the devils like?"

"But, but. Nicol ......"

"-Daniel, don't talk about it."

Hearing the voice, Daniel turned his head.

"White ......"

Baibai is standing in front.

She still looks weak due to the after-effects of exerting all her strength.

And yet she said firmly—

"There's nothing wrong with that kid, is there?"

"But, for that kind of guy, Nicol actually ......."

Daniel retorted unevenly. Result –

"She is my master, please don't speak ill of my master."

Nicol stared at him.

Facing those eyes, Daniel was speechless for a moment.

"That kid has something he has to do, am I right?"

Asked Nicol in vain.

"Hmm......" Nicol nodded quietly.

"Then you can go quickly."

With that in vain, Nicol nodded and left.

Daniel could only look at his departing back wordlessly.

"Why...... Didn't we say yes............" he muttered, as hard as a sigh to hear. "White~~!"

Then he wailed and threw himself into Bai Bai's arms.

"Alright, alright...... You still call me a crybaby every time......

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wow, ah......hhh Wow~~"

Daniel tried to refute what he had said, but he couldn't stop crying.

Because, the white hand is too gentle.

Gently caressing him, really gentle.
