Immediately after the sound of the cannon, there was a violent tremor of the ship's hull.

Except for the four seasons, everyone else was shaken to the ground, and the group in the countermeasure room, which had not yet recovered their breath, climbed down again.

"Support from other warships is coming."

Shiji's gaze penetrated the hull of the ship, which had been surrounded by four destroyers near the cruiser.

"Are they going to be struck by lightning?"

Miyuki stood firm in the continuous shaking, and if she was prepared, she wouldn't be affected.

The artillery fire continued, just like Miyuki said, and there was no spare hand for the other party to attack the battleship, and the anthropomorphic battleship that fell to the side had red eyes flashing, as if it was calling for a companion to attack.

At this time, Hatsuzakura ran in front of the battleship evil spirit, and then patted the other party's head.

"Nope."

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Hatsu Sakura's words, Miyuki showed a puzzled expression.

"Killing stones, no."

Hatsuzakura spoke out of her findings.

"But, there's breath."

"Isn't the Killing Stone here? Could it be somewhere else on the battleship. ”

Because of the appearance of the other party, Miyuki took it for granted that the killing stone was on the other party, but the other party was just a substitute body, and there was nothing abnormal about the killing stone in other positions on the ship.

"What then?"

"There's no time to look for it slowly."

"If you go on like this, you'll fall into the sea!"

Under this kind of attack, there was no way for the people in the strategy room, and of course they set their sights in the direction of Shiki, although they had not seen it with their own eyes, but they had also heard about Shiki's defeat of the Immortal.

"I tried to search the entire battleship and couldn't find it."

Shiki shook his head, he was sure of that after coming to this ship from before.

Under the puzzled gaze of everyone, Shiki used his mental strength to hold them up, and at the same time grabbed the evil spirit of the battleship. Flying back out of the torn deck back to the outside of the battleship, the bitter sea breeze mixed with the sea water lapping in front of them.

The surrounding battleships were already visible even in the fog, and beyond the four destroyers besieged, there was a much larger battleship.

"I think I've seen this somewhere."

"Me too."

Kensuke and Kyoko had the same feelings.

"There's a big sister with an umbrella up there."

Hatsu Sakura, who had better eyesight, immediately saw a figure standing on the bow of the ship, with the same style as the evil spirit that Shiki had captured, but the mechanical device on its body looked more powerful, and she didn't know why the other party was still holding an umbrella.

“…… I seem to know what it is. ”

An unnatural expression appeared on Miyuki's face.

"The battleship Yamato, Japan's strongest battleship during World War II."

Perhaps because of his time as a mercenary, Iwabata quickly recognized the other party's identity.

That battleship was none other than the number one ship of the Yamato-class, the Yamato. She can be said to be a very famous battleship, as an extreme by the great ship and artillery lovers of the reverence, although it turns out that no matter how strong the cannon is, it is afraid of bombing, but the honor of the strongest battleship has been widely spread, although she did not have many records during the war, most of the time it was regarded as a luxury hotel at sea...... All in all, even people who don't know much about battleships will know the name. Later, it became the space battleship Yamato and sailed the sea of stars, of course, it was only inherited from this name.

As he spoke, the super battleship had already pointed its cannon at them, and the main cannon with the power of the Killing Stone spewed flames, as if announcing the return of the big ship and the giant cannon.

However, there was no moon, and all attacks were blocked by the four seasons, leaving only a burst of fireworks in mid-air.

"Completely useless?"

"This is the strength of the Heavenly Demon?"

The ordinary battleship main cannon is no longer something that ordinary exorcists can resist, and now this enhanced version of demonic power is even stronger by more than a little, and such an easy block also makes Kensuke and Kyoko, who have never seen the four seasons, have an intuitive feeling about it. Of course, the Iwabata and Nabu brothers would have been surprised for a long time, they had seen the strength of the four seasons when they went berserk.

"I'll leave it to Miyuki."

"Understood, understood."

Miyuki was not surprised by the request of the four seasons, and after saying that, she spread her wings and flew towards the enemy.

"This, Jingliu will deal with it."

After Miyuki flies away, Shiki lets Shizuru and the ship's evil spirits go.

"Hey!"

There was no time to refute that Shizuru was already surrounded by countless evil spirits.

"Actual combat is the best training, and Shizuru just needs to hold on until Miyuki defeats her opponent."

"Are you a devil instructor!"

Shizuryu's roar drowned out the sound of artillery fire, and Shiki's eyes turned to the group in the countermeasure room.

"You're not going to throw us out, are you?"

Kensuke looked at Shiki's face as if he had seen an evil spirit.

"If you ask for that."

The four seasons will not stop you.

"Heavenly Demon ...... Uh, no. ”

Iwabata paused, then changed his tune.

"Thank you for saving us, but what exactly is your purpose?"

"Collect the Killing Stone and resurrect the Nine-Tailed Fox."

Shiki replied lightly, and for a while they didn't even react.

"You!"

"Are you really an enemy?"

Kyoko subconsciously wanted to summon Shikigami, but the next moment her technique was disintegrated by Shiki.

"How so?"

Kyoko was extremely surprised, if it was broken by brute force, as Miyuki had done, she would not be so surprised, but at this time, Shiki relied on skill.

Under the gap in vision, even if Kyoko has studied the spells of the gods for a long time, Shiki can easily crack the opponent's spells without brute force.

"As things stand, I'm your enemy."

"Then why did you save us?"

Kensuke stood in front of Kyoko and asked Shiki.

"Our hostile relationship is because of the difference in positions, and it has nothing to do with personal likes and dislikes, so I want to save you."

"Stand?"

"Just like a spirit animal, it can become a companion of an exorcist to fight together, or it can become an evil spirit to attack humans, and there is no absolute hostile relationship."

"Do you want to say that you want to be a companion with evil spirits?"

Kyoko, who had recovered from the stimulation just now, spoke again.

"Actually, it's not impossible."

The fact that the other party was able to understand what he meant so quickly made Shiki very satisfied. Of course, the result was a more hostile gaze from the other party, but Shiki didn't care about it either, the battle between the exorcist and the evil spirit had lasted too long, and it was not easy for them to accept it all at once. Now he just wants the other party's heart to be prepared.

Just as they were talking, there was a loud bang from the sea, and a huge wave rose into the sky, and Miyuki was seen holding a ship chopping knife in her hand and slashing towards the Yamato.
