"Forget it...... Welcome, guests. I'm Ro Kirishima. Dry Bell's errands and other work, well, a lot of advice. ”

"Please advise, I am a special merit demon official, Xiao Gucheng."

Looking back and forth at the ancient city holding his outstretched hand, and the guitar case that Yukina was carrying, Kirishima smiled slightly.

"Oh, I see. However, I didn't expect the Demon Officer of Xianshen Island to be so young. Well, after all, I live in the Demon Special Zone, and there are all kinds of people. ”

"Really? I don't think so. Answering coldly, the ancient city said that his gaze was fixed on the demon registration card embedded in Kirishima's wrist. Like Beatoris, he is also a demon. It's the L species - orcs.

"Then, it's time to prepare for takeoff."

After they got into the plane, Kirishima greeted the driver in the driver's seat. Then he handed a plastic bag to the ancient city sitting in the back seat.

"And ah, here's this, vomit bag."

"Huh?"

Why did you give us this before taking off, the ancient city was puzzled for a while, but after looking at the Yukina next to it, he immediately understood.

He almost forgot that this little girl had a fear of heights.

Yukina had a tangled expression on her face, and her hands clasped together prayerfully. The feeling of majesty and majesty that has always given people is now as embarrassing as if it were a deception. Even in the face of Rotalingia's annihilators, the nobles of the warlike king realm had never seen her so panicked.

"Hey, I said, are you really okay?" Looking at Yukina with a pale smiling face, Gucheng asked suspiciously.

Yukina replied with a stubborn face.

"Of course it's fine... Completely... No problem..."

"No, but, your face is as pale as white paper......"

It's no wonder you're okay like this, I'm afraid of too much.

"That's just your delusion."

She replied categorically, but her voice was very weak. Seeing her as if she was performing aerial combat like walking a tightrope in the flesh, Gucheng couldn't help but feel funny.

"I said, if you're afraid, just say it."

"There's nothing like that! I, I'm the sword witch of the Lion King's mechanism. ”

The kindergarten kid is a little better than yours in lying, hearing Yukina's clumsy explanation, Gucheng barely held back the wry smile that leaked out. Although Yukina's unexpected weakness makes her quite cute, but when I see her desperately hiding it, I feel that I can't laugh at her.

For Yukina, who has no choice and is forced to survive as a sword witch of the Lion King Agency, it is not allowed to expose her weaknesses in front of others. That's what would have cost her her her current status. So since I was a child, I often did such reckless things.

Moreover, if she really laughs, Yukina, who is embarrassed and angry, must kill herself regardless of three-seven-twenty-one.

Although he said that he was different from the protagonist of the two-dimensional world, he was not afraid of the blackened heroine at all, but this plane was not necessarily.

In that case, Yukina's IQ is completely equal to zero, and if she does get something out of it, then they will all have to go to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.

And since Yukina was a child, even in front of trusted companions or friends, she was never allowed to say cowardly words. The same loneliness that the ancient city once felt. It's probably the same feeling he had on the basketball court.

Although he is not the real Xiaogu City in the original book, he has also understood this loneliness.

Before coming to this world, he was a figure known as a genius, genius does not allow failure, and genius can only be far ahead of others.

No matter how much effort he put in, others say that because he is a genius, it all takes for granted. Just one sentence took away all his efforts.

He never had friends, so no one helped him. Because geniuses don't need help from others, they don't need friends either.

At the age of seven, he completed the entire course of primary school. At the age of 8, he became a middle school student. At the age of 10, he was admitted to high school. At the age of 12, he graduated from university. At the age of 14, he became the youngest university professor in history. At the age of 16, he became the greatest physicist of all time. The teenager stepped step by step to the top and became the most famous genius in the world. The boy went to a realm that countless people couldn't reach with all their lives. Become the smartest professor in history. The teenager contributed countless blood crystals to the motherland until he died of a heart attack at the age of 20.

On the day of the boy's death, there was a lot of pain, grieving for the loss of a peerless genius. But the boy smiled happily, because he had finally gotten rid of the head street of genius. Before the boy died, he made a wish - hoping to be a person with friends in the next life. Experience the life of an ordinary person once.

The boy is Xiao Gucheng, which is now Xiao Gucheng. The boy is not getting rid of the head street of genius now. But he had friends. The boy did not live an ordinary life, but he was full of happiness like an ordinary person.

So Xiao Gucheng can't and won't laugh at her. He understands Yukina, she is his most important person, so at that moment the ancient city is determined to protect them.

"Nagisa isn't good at flying, can't help it...... So I always faint right away. ”

"I've said I'm not bad at flying......"

Hearing Guru's inadvertent words, Yukina pouted in protest.

The plane they were on had just begun to accelerate on the runway for takeoff. The aggressive increase in the sound of the engine and the shaking of the body made Yukina completely stiffen.

Looking at the dazed Yukina, the ancient city silently grabbed Yukina's trembling hand,

“…… Learn, senior? ”

"Still, it seems like this will calm you down. Don't want to? ”

"I didn't say that......" Yukina said in an anxious tone while holding the ancient city's hand back unnaturally.

The plane had already left Xianshen Island, and all that could be seen around was the blue sea. I barely knew where the sun was, but I couldn't estimate where I was. Although the flight went smoothly, Gu Gu always had a premonition in his heart that he didn't want to, as if he might not be able to come back this time.

"In this way, Natsune's father's research is... Sure enough, it has something to do with the 'masquerade attacher', right? ”

"Yes...... That's right. ”

Yukina replied with a very bitter expression.

And rightfully so. The pattern of light that appeared on the monstrous Natsune's body. It is very likely that it is used to deform Xia Yin's **.

A person who has such a high level of knowledge of manipulating magic rituals, and can really perform that ritual on Natsune. As a magic guide technician at a large company and also the stepfather of Natsune, Hase Kensheng undoubtedly meets these conditions.

"That bastard! He actually transformed his daughter into that with his own hands! Clenching his fists tightly, the green tendons on his hands were faintly visible, which showed how angry his owner was.

But Yukina shook her head again with a sad expression.

"I think it's the other way around."

"Is that so? I see......"

The ancient city understands it thoroughly, and the order is just the opposite...

"Haze Kensheng didn't transform his own daughter..."

Other words......

"It was to reform her that he adopted her as an adopted daughter...... Is it......!? "Such cruelty filled the ancient city with anger.

A girl who was once lonely, a family that she finally got with great difficulty, turned out to be just a material for experimentation......

The despair that Xia Yin endured at that time was unimaginable to the ancient city.

Then Yukina, smiling softly and quietly closing her eyes, laughed at herself.

"Hase-san, and I may be very similar. So ......"

The few words that Yukina muttered made the ancient city finally notice her sincerity.

The situation of Yukina, who was raised as a sword witch, does overlap with the current Xia Yin. For Yukina, if she takes a wrong step, she might be used as a test bed for magic like Natsune. That's why Yukina even reported the name of the Lion King to meet with Hase Kensheng at the Mega Scraft Company. In order to save Xia Yin, she is quite desperate.

How similar it was... Whether it's the old city of the past, the former Yukina, or the ...... Now Natsune...

They all have one thing in common – and that's... All have an unbearable memory, a painful memory...

"Last night...... She saved us......"

While recalling the memories of the deathmatch he experienced on the radio tower, the words of the ancient city were so powerless and sad.

Yukina raised her head suddenly and shook the ancient city's hand hard.

"Yes."

Yukina, who nodded heavily, looked at the ancient city, her eyes full of infinite firmness.

"So... It's up to us to save her this time! ”

The same is true for the ancient city. As a result, the reason why the ancient city wanted to save Xia Yin was quite enough as long as there was that.

But, as if to mock the ancient city's resolve, the light plane they were flying in shook violently and began to descend.

Yes, if they want to, they can do it!

But, as if to mock the ancient city's resolve, the light plane they were flying in shook violently and began to descend.

"Yo, stupid couple. I'm sorry to bother you while you're talking, but it's almost there. ”

Kirishima said this and pointed to the sea, where a small island floated.

It is a half-moon-shaped island with a central part covered by verdant forests. The diameter is less than two kilometers. I think I can go around the island in about half a day. There were no houses to be seen from above. It is a completely uninhabited island.

"There's a Megascraft research facility on that island?"

Hearing the question of the ancient city's confusion, Kirishima nodded without enthusiasm.

"It seems to be an uninhabited island that doesn't even have a name, so we call it a goldfish bowl."

"Goldfish bowl?"

What do you mean, when the ancient city tilted its head, the plane began to turn sharply. This is into the landing state. The engine was humming, and the fuselage shook more violently.

"It's a bit of a bad scenery around the runway, so bear with me. After all, I don't have enough budget. ”

"When you say runway, do you mean the field where there is nothing?"

"Don't speak. Be careful to bite your tongue. ”

"Bastard, you didn't ...... sooner Woo~"- said

In front of the old propeller machine is a grassland where only soil is exposed. It's about the size of an elementary school campus. You can't see the signs in the shop. That's really not a runway.

However, it is precisely because of this uncle's gift that all the words that the ancient city has to say have been swallowed up.

But it doesn't matter. Because of this moment, both the ancient city and Yukina have made up their minds.

It's up to us to save you this time, Haze Summer Night...
