The night continued, and the darkness brought by the Holy Grail was not yet noticed by most people, and there was no abnormality in the vicinity of Enzo Mountain.

In order to face the final battle, everyone is recuperating.

In the guest room of the mansion, Hatsuzakura lay on the soft large bed and snored "huh~~huh~~~".

The physical fatigue was not as easy as she had previously appeared, and it can be said that she fell into a deep sleep almost after lying down.

Tonight, Hatsuzakura dreamed again.

In her dreams, Hatsuzakura felt as if she was floating in the clouds, wrapped in rising water vapor, surrounded by nothing but white.

Suddenly, a dazzling light shone in, like the sunshine that brought life to the world, stimulating her to not open her eyes.

The clouds receded suddenly, and Hatsuzakura stood in an infinitely wide space.

"Wake up, little one."

There was a familiar voice in her ears, and Hatsuzakura slowly opened her eyes in the light that was getting used to, and then she realized that it was a magnificent and huge building.

I don't know the exact size, but judging by the ornate decoration of the surrounding walls, this is a temple or a palace-like place.

The pure magic that pervades it is like a high concentration of oxygen, and I am afraid that ordinary magicians will be poisoned if they breathe it.

This is a sacred sanctuary and an ogre-eating cave.

"The same clan that I haven't seen for many years, is it a stupid child with a bad brain? Don't be in a daze anymore, the time in this palace is very precious. ”

The familiar voice sounded again, drawing Hatsu Sakura's gaze away from the surrounding palace.

Right in the deepest part of the Demon Palace, there is a huge storage zài.

That's not only because the other person's body is huge, but also because of the huge sense of existence it exudes. It's like man looking up to the mountains...... No, it's like looking up at the sun, it's such a huge gap.

That absolute existence zài has the face of a peerless beauty, and at the same time has a creepy cold expression.

She lay there on her side, as if she had just woken up.

The magic in the palace forms a huge vortex centered around her, as if the world is revolving around her.

Her back glowed like a golden glow like the sun, and her huge tail swayed like flames.

Such a huge existence is no longer beyond the reach of the heroic spirit, which seems to be a god, but it is the embodiment of an even more vicious one.

In front of her, human beings are like small insects, and even her gaze can kill people.

"Huh?"

Hatsuzakura tilted her head, her doubts could be seen directly on her face.

The overwhelming feeling of oppression that froze didn't affect Hatsuzakura, but it was also a matter of course, she was inherently different from humans. The aura emanating from the other party was not so much intimidating as it made her feel intimate.

"Xiaoyu?"

Even though there was a huge gap that made it impossible to connect the two at all, Hatsuzakura instinctively recognized each other.

"Hmm~~~"

The deep groan of the Lord of the Demon Palace echoed through the palace, filling every corner.

"It's not accurate, but it's the little jade you know. Master. ”

She didn't deny it, but the voice of the owner was completely unreminiscent of Caster.

"Xiaoyu's way of speaking is so strange."

Hatsuzakura didn't seem to notice this, but she was concerned about the other party's way of speaking in an ancient style that was different from usual.

"It's strange for Hongu to be turned into a fool like that. It's funny. ”

The corners of the Demon Palace's mouth were slightly hooked, and a smile full of danger appeared.

"Huh?"

Seeing that Hatsuzakura still didn't know why, the Lord of the Demon Palace continued to talk.

"It's not a big deal. The main palace is the nature of the deep consciousness of the Io, its past, and its root. I can't help but get up and want to complain about my stupidity now. ”

"One tail?"

"It's me next to you. Don't understand? Now that you've grown two tails, you know the meaning of tails, right? ”

"Ahh

Because she heard that she understood what was going on, Hatsuzakura raised her fist happily.

"The tail that represents Lingge, its strength increases as it increases, and the tail that spreads out is like an avatar with a different personality, you are the nine-tailed Xiaoyu."

Hatsu Sakura's voice sounded in a different tone than the one just now, and it wasn't from Hatsu Sakura's place, but next to her.

Just next to the first cherry blossom, another first cherry appeared, and there was no difference between the two in terms of appearance and dress, just a natural and a calm.

For the first cherry blossoms that suddenly turned into two, the Lord of the Demon Palace was not at all surprised, as if he had known it for a long time.

"If you want to complain, you should find Xiaoyu, not me."

The calm Hatsuzakura made a judgment based on the other party's words.

"Hmm."

Hatsuzakura next to her also nodded.

"That's true. But before that......"

The Lord of the Demon Palace suddenly changed his words.

"Hongu is still quite angry, I don't know how many times I have been betrayed, and I am still learning to pursue what I can't get. So I wanted to see what kind of owner her owner was, but the result was unexpected. ”

It's not hard to understand that meeting your own people is definitely an unexpected thing.

"If it's the kind of boring and small human being, you still want to clean it up." (Zabizi on the other side of the parallel time and space feels a chill down his spine.) ）

Casual dangerous words are anything but alarmist.

"Do you have anything to do with me?"

"Hmm~~~ It's really irritating to look at you in another sense."

The Lord of the Demon Palace looked at Hatsuzakura with eyes of unknown significance.

"Huh?"

"Why?"

"Let's just say it's advice."

The Lord of the Demon Palace did not answer Hatsuzakura's question directly.

"We are bad predators, good and evil, law and lawlessness, perpetrators and victims, these concepts have no meaning for us, this is our nature. So the act of chasing human beings is like fighting against nature. ”

“……”

After the Lord of the Demon Palace finished speaking, no matter which of the first cherry blossoms did not speak, the words that were too profound were beyond the comprehension of the first cherry blossoms, but-

"Thank you."

Hatsuzakura smiled.

"Hatsuzakura is fine."

There was not the slightest confusion in her eyes.

"Xiaoyu has no problem."

“……”

The Lord of the Demon Palace was silent for a moment, then turned over on the bed.

"Quickly retreat, the main palace is going to rest. There is no time to dream with the little ghost anymore. ”

As he spoke, the light shrouded the first cherry blossom again, and then dimmed, and the aura emanating from the Lord of the Demon Palace gradually dissipated.

"I really want to see what the end of your chase is."

As the last sound fades away, Hatsuzakura returns from her dream to reality.
