Nagisa trembles like a newborn bird, and Yukina hugs her in confusion.

The citizens of Tsugami Island, which is a special area of the demon race, are used to the existence of the demon race, and she heard about it. And in fact, the people on this island, even if they meet a demon with a demon registration card on the street, they will not turn back curiously. It is not only the female middle school students in short skirts who attract people's attention more.

Moreover, the crime rate of the registered demons is lower than that of ordinary people, and if the demons commit crimes, the armed SAR garrison will rush in. So the general citizens of this island have no reason to fear the demons.

But if that's the case, there's no reason why Nagisa is so scared.

"I don't know the details, but run away. As long as it's not here! ”

I don't know if it's because I saw Nagisa trembling like this.,Light onion said as he walked to the door.。

But before that, the door was opened violently.

Seeing the figure walking in, the shallots moaned.

The one who stopped the shallots from leaving and appeared was a strong man in a gray military uniform. His face was covered in silver fur, and sharp teeth protruded from his protruding mouth.

"-orcs?"

Hearing the muttering of the shallots, Nagisa let out a mournful "ah". Yukina hugged her hard.

If the opponent is just an orc, he is confident that he can win with his bare hands.

However, the premise is that there is only Yukina alone. Protecting shallots and Nagisa while guarding against stealth is very difficult to win in such a situation. What's more, it is even more impossible with Nagisha's current state.

Handing over the gun to someone else was completely Yukina's mistake. Even in school, you really shouldn't let go of the "Snow Wolf".

"Found it, Gregory."

After the orc, another man in military uniform walked in. Although it is only in the form of a human being, it is just an elderly man who exudes a very powerful sense of coercion.

"Which of these three is, Shaozo. But if everyone smells and compares the smell, you'll know it right away. ”

It was hard to make out what the male was saying, but the orc who heard the command threw his shoes over.

Yukina who saw it reacted immediately. They chased them to the clinic based on the smell of the shoes. In other words, the owner of this shoe is their goal.

The man known as Shaozuo snorted as if he was troublesome.

"The faces of the Japanese are just indistinguishable...... Never mind. Take them all. I think it can be used as a negotiation tool. You can also be a hostage. ”

“…………”

Looking at the approaching orcs, the shallots anxiously stepped back.

At this time, an emotionless inorganic voice sounded in the room, and the girl in white quickly walked to the front.

"-- The right of self-defense is implemented in accordance with Paragraph 2 of the Regulations on the Protection of Artificial Living Organisms and Special Provisions. Practicing 'Rose's—"

However, she activated the order of the artificial beast and failed to weave it to the end.

That's because the man in military uniform, known as Shaoza, took out his pistol and shot it at a speed that Yukina couldn't even react to.

Six bullets were buried in Astarut in an instant, and her body was knocked into the wall. For the poignant scene unfolding in front of them, they were stunned and speechless.

“…… Shaozo? ”

Even if the opponent is an artificial lifeform, the excessive attack on the petite girl taken by the superior makes the orc male look surprised.

"I feel a strange flow of magic from this puppet - it's equipped with a talisman item."

The man, known as Shaoza, explained lightly while putting away his pistol. And there is no tone of reflection and regret in the words.

However, Yukina knows that the seemingly cruel and tyrannical attitude is the right judgment as a soldier.

Astarut is inhabited by artificial beasts with overwhelming combat capabilities. Sensing that aura without any prior knowledge, and defeating the host before the other party summons the beast - this is not a judgment that ordinary soldiers can make. This man is definitely a super-first-class fighter with considerable strength. This is not an opponent that Yukina of "Snow Wolf" can beat. No, even if there is a "snow wolf", it may not be able to win-

"Ahh Rest assured. As long as you listen to us honestly, we don't intend to hurt you. ”

As if he was concerned about the trembling Yukina, the man known as Shaosa said in fluent Japanese.

"One of you is Blue Feather Shallot. Hopefully she can help us with our work. I promise to let you go safe and sound. ”

“…… Who are you? ”

As if sheltering Yukina and taking a step forward, Shallot asked the man rhetorically. It shouldn't be that he didn't feel the horror, but the voice of the shallots didn't tremble in the slightest.

Facing the brave posture of the shallot, the man known as Shao Zuo appeared with an expression of admiration. It is precisely because he is a soldier who pays attention to courage that he will pay tribute to his opponent who is full of courage. That's his style.

This is really rude. Since I am a rude person who only knows the etiquette of the battlefield, I apologize for being too late to report to the noble ladies about their homes. ”

In a gentlemanly manner, the man known as Shaozo took off his hat.

"My name is Christophe Gadoruhi – a former soldier in the realm of the King of War and now a revolutionary activist. Some people call me a terrorist. ”

Looking at the face of the self-proclaimed Gadoruxiu, Yukina was shocked and gasped.

Beautiful forehead and pointed vulture nose. It was the face of an old man who looked intellectual, but exuded a strong sense of coercion.

There was a conspicuous scar on that cheek. A huge old wound -

……

When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by a white ceiling.

"Are you awake?"

"Hmm."

"Then tell me who you are, mystery man."

"Huh?" Gucheng looked at Nayue suspiciously, "What are you talking about, Nayue?" I'm an ancient city! ”

"Really?" Na Yue looked at the ancient city with a wary expression, "But you don't have the breath of a vampire at all, and you're a human at all." ”

"It's just one of my special abilities." The ancient city spoke, quickly transforming into a vampire form. The injuries on his body also recovered quickly.

"What?" Na Yue looked at the ancient city in surprise, "I didn't expect you to have a set." ”

"Each other, each other."

……

At the same time, Saya Hua, who was reflecting upstairs, also yawned boringly.

Because she almost killed the ancient city, Yukina was very angry, and the result was naturally that Yukina was forced to reflect alone.

"Really, it's all because of that bastard that Yukina's attitude towards me has become so bad."

However, Saya Hua didn't realize at all that for a kind-hearted girl, her friend almost killed someone, and that person was still her lover. How could Yukina not be angry. Even if the other party is not an ancient city, Yukina will still treat her like that.

In the corner of Sayaka's field of vision, for a moment, a strong flash flashed.

A little behind, a dull explosion sounded. The orange fireballs that swelled in the air like fireworks turned into fragments of charred black and scattered. Finally, the flames, enveloped in ominous black smoke, erupted from the ground into the sky high in the sky.

"What was it just now!? It looks like the helicopter was shot down. ”

Sayaka stood there dumbfounded, muttering.

Shoot down a helicopter with a single blow — in that case, a surface-to-air missile (DAO) missile, or something like that. Whoever puts this kind of thing in a city is generally a race of people who would be called terrorists.

"Could it be, the Black Death Emperor!?"

"That direction...... Is it near the artificial island where the expansion fortifications are being carried out? ”

Saya Hua screamed in surprise and hurried down the emergency staircase.

Although Yukina told them to reflect on it, if it was really the Black Death Emperor's faction, it would not be the time to do this kind of thing leisurely.

Although the helicopter downfall should have nothing to do with Narakwala, the Black Dead Emperor faction is a terrorist group in the first place, and the possibility of them carrying out indiscriminate attacks in the city cannot be ruled out. You can't pretend you don't see it.

"Wait, this smell?" As if she had discovered something, Sayaka sniffed. Then her expression changed to bewilderment. Because she also noticed the faint smell wafting through the campus.

"The smell of blood!?" Sayaka jumped into the school building from the open window next to her. The dense smell of infinitely close to blood has become stronger. Noticing the source of the smell, she ran up and opened the door to the infirmary.

What catches my eye is the figure of an artificial lifeform girl lying on the ground soaked in a faint red bodily fluid.

"She's ......"

"Astarut, my Servant of Blood." Behind Sayaka, she and her familiar voice came over, because the owner of this voice was...

Xiao Gucheng!?

"Why are you here?"

"Don't talk about this yet, you better check her wounds first."

"This wound...... Is it a gunshot wound!? What the hell is going on!? ”

Sayaka who ran over lifted Astarout's clothes to confirm the wound. Her slender body was left with the tragic scars of several projectile hits.

Astarout, who was no longer able to move, seemed to be slightly conscious. Seeing the figure of the ancient city, she spit out a faint breath with blood.

"—Now to report, Fourth True Ancestor. Twenty-five minutes and thirteen seconds before this moment, a man claiming to be Christoph Gardesius appeared on the grounds of the school. took away the three of Blue Feather Shallot, Xiao Zhisha, and Ji Hiiragi Yukina. ”

"Damn, as I expected, this time it happened!"

Since the shallots will be taken away, then it means that his guess is not wrong, shallots do have the ability to crack and activate the 'Narak Willa', that is to say, this weapon that has destroyed many civilizations should awaken soon. (Markne)
