A blood-colored world.

The sky was red, and the fiery clouds were the color of blood.

On the ground, too, a large amount of blood was stained.

Corpses are everywhere.

Rika Ishihara stumbled down on the ground littered with corpses.

As far as the eye can see, the city is in ruins.

Dilapidated houses, fallen towering buildings.

Flames were burning, and black smoke was rising.

But it can't hide the blood in the sky.

The wails echoed in the sky, making people feel terrified and despairing.

"Rika."

A cold, hoarse voice came from behind.

At first glance, it's creepy.

Just listening to this voice, it is easy to sketch the image of some kind of pervert-murderer in my mind.

Rika Ishihara showed a look of surprise.

This voice, which she was familiar with, came from the one-eyed king who frightened many people, and even scared many people.

But in Rika Ishihara's heart, the One-Eyed King is the person she dearest in the world.

The only loved one.

Satoma Ishihara turned around in surprise, but the smile on her face froze.

She saw that the blood-colored, one-eyed mask with only eyes on it was draped over a head.

However, under the head, there is no body.

There is only a simple head, placed under the stone steps that I don't know when.

The red eyes and the black "whites of the eyes" stared at Rika Ishihara.

"It hurts."

Rika Ishihara heard the One-Eyed King say this.

Immediately after, a vague figure appeared on the stone steps.

I couldn't see my face clearly, I could only see a smile and white teeth.

and a pair of cold, mocking eyes.

The eyes are not like looking at living things.

The dark red blade stabbed down, piercing the one-eyed king's head.

Rika Ishihara let out a high-pitched scream.

The moment the blade pierced through the one-eyed king's head, it also pierced through the world.

Or rather, through the dream.

Rika Ishihara woke up from a nightmare, her face so pale that she didn't look like a mew at all.

"You're awake."

An old, slightly tired voice came from the side.

Rika Ishihara jumped to her feet and jumped into the corner of the room, vigilantly surveying everything around her.

It's an ordinary-looking, featureless room.

It was an old man with gray hair who spoke.

He was not rickety, but sat straight on the stool and looked at Rika Ishihara.

His face was kind and kind.

The cheeks are slightly sunken, and there is the lean nature of some older people, but not shriveled.

Rika Ishihara's gaze fell on the old man's right arm.

It was a severed arm.

It was also wrapped in bandages, and red blood stains seeped out slightly.

Sensing the little girl's gaze, the old man looked down at the broken arm and smiled: "People are old, and they are useless." I originally wanted to save Arima's child, but instead of succeeding, I lost an arm. ”

At this point, the kind smile on the old man's face disappeared.

changed to a serious expression: "Compared to us, that person is a real monster in human skin." ”

Rika Ishihara nodded involuntarily.

She knew who the old man was talking about, the chief of the CCG, that terrible tyrant.

"Let's go, your companion is waiting for you." The old man stood up, pushed open the door and walked out.

Rika Ishihara followed with small steps, and the two passed through the long aisle.

Stairs up the stairs.

Came to a place that resembled a bar.

However, the doors and windows were completely closed, and the windows were also black, apparently out of business.

A few mews who hope to organize are sitting on high chairs at the counter and smile when they see Rika Ishihara appear.

In addition, there are some meows sitting on the table.

Combined, there are no fewer people than hoped.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Ryuta Yasuda." The old man said, "Reluctantly, I guess it's the leader of the Bronze Tree." ”

"The old man is humble again."

A few mews said with a smile.

Ryuta Yasuda smiled helplessly.

"Bronze Tree?"

Rika Ishihara was stunned for a moment.

This organization, she naturally heard from Arima's noble generals.

It seems to be a very kind organization, and it is full of good people - good seeds.

"We don't like to fight against human beings, and we don't want to participate."

Ryuta Yasuda said, "But...... If you need help, we'll help too. ”

Like the One-Eyed King, Ryuta Yasuda also took in a number of desperate meows.

Among them were a few children who were similar to Ishihara Satoma.

Among the mews present, there were three teenagers who looked to be a few years older than Ishihara Satoka.

Two men and one woman.

The young woman's long hair covered one eye, her face was cold, and she was dressed as a bartender.

The other two.

One was dressed in ordinary clothes and wore a hood, huddled in his position, looking nervous and uneasy.

The other was wearing glasses and looked unhappy, noticing Ishihara Rika's gaze and glaring at him fiercely.

Rika Ishihara's body shook, and she originally wanted to "hide".

But it suddenly occurred to her that the biggest dependence in her heart, Uncle One-Eyed, could no longer protect her.

So, Rika Ishihara stood up and glared back at the meander.

Her eyes suddenly changed to the appearance of a mew.

Black whites of the eyes, red pupils.

Standard mew eyes.

And at the moment when Rika Ishihara entered the form of the mew and stared back.

A powerful aura burst out of her.

There was even an invisible wind, centered on Rika Ishihara, spreading out in all directions.

If you say, the general meow gives people the feeling and deterrence, like a wolf.

Then, the current Ishihara Rika exudes a breath that is a tiger.

A tiger cub, but its size has begun to swell and become massive.

The immature color is about to fade.

Become a truly terrifying beast.

All of them were taken aback by the change in Rika Ishihara.

Especially the bespectacled meander, who didn't sit firmly for a while, fell directly from his seat.

The hooded boy next to him smiled at this time, and then quickly reined in and went to help his companion next to him.

"That's good."

Ryuta Yasuda looked at the imposing Rika Ishihara, smiled, and said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, when the Bronze Tree was established, I said when I took you in that I would try to keep everyone away from battle and strife. ”

"I'm sorry, but now I have to take it back."

"Because, the blade is already on our necks, and we will not fight back! Every single one of us will die. ”

"For this, I had to bring everyone to the battlefield."

"I know, there must be people who don't want to, but it doesn't matter, I'll wait for you here later, if you want to quit, you can come to me at that time."

"For the rest, I will fight side by side with them until the last moment, until we return to the peaceful life that should belong to us."

There is no kind of talking.

An aura spread through the room, different from the momentum released by Rika Ishihara.

It's a fighting spirit!

This group of mews gradually turned into warriors.

"Well, actually...... We can also contact the Black Forest. "Hope Organization," whispered a mew.

Operation decapitation.

It has nothing to do with the Bronze Tree.

But it has to do with the Black Forest.

Those dead soldiers came from the Black Forest.

Explosives enough to turn an entire underground parking lot into ruins, graves, were also supplied by the Black Forest.

It was a decapitation operation, and it was the Black Forest's revenge on the White Night.

Revenge White Night for killing their important member, Jason.

"I see."

Ryuta Yasuda nodded, "I'll contact them." ”

To fight against the tyrant White Night, all the meows unite!
