"I'm just waiting for this moment, the moment when the master ...... awaken the 'spiritual blood of the sage'. Without your 'refining core', 'spiritual blood' is just a piece of scrap metal. But you who are fused with the 'spiritual blood of the sage' are the incorruptible body of Vajra. Therefore, the only way to take away your 'spiritual blood' is to destroy it from within, when the awakening is not yet complete, as it is now. ”

Amazuka burst out laughing. The 'pseudo-refining core' in the body of the executive director liberates the technique engraved on it. It's like pouring poison into a lake, and the bright red liquid metal is cloudy and black.

"Oh oh oh oh, Amazuka! You guy-!? ”

Under the influence of the 'pseudo-nuclear refining' rampage, the body of the executive director was torn apart. The guards tried to rescue the Managing Director, but even they were swallowed and melted by the liquid metal.

"Why...... Amazuka ...... Why, betray me...... Do you want to monopolize the 'spiritual blood' so much!? ”

The managing director, who was only a part of his upper body, asked in a weak voice.

In response, Amatsuka looked at him with disdain and sneered.

"No, Managing Director. Exactly the opposite"

Soon, the contamination of the 'pseudo-refining core' engulfed even the ** of Nina Adillard, who was about to awaken. Her beautiful limbs grew black, cracked, and finally shattered.

"I'm really grateful to you, Managing Director. So, it will help you make your wish come true. Your ** will live forever as part of the 'spiritual blood'! ”

With an innocent smile like a young teenager, Amazuka has his back to the object that used to be the managing director.

The pitch-black 'Spirit Blood of the Sage' let out an ominous cry and stirred violently like a wounded beast.

……

The gentle slopes that stretch to the hills are illuminated by the setting sun.

On the pavement paved with polyurethane plastic particles, Shallot bends slightly and sticks his favorite smartphone to his ear. From the telephone receiver came the voice of the ancient city.

"--shallots? What's the matter, what's the matter?'

"Ahh Sorry to call you so suddenly. ”

"There's something I want to ask you for, could it be that you've already arrived home?"

Thinking about everything, Shallot asked as he adjusted his mood.

"Nope. Still outside. Shop near the No. 6 ramp in the West area'

"Ramp No. 6...... Isn't that a love hotel street! ”

Shallot groaned with a tense face. If you want to ask where the No. 6 ramp in the southern area of the artificial island is, as long as you are a resident of Xianjin Island, even a precocious elementary school student knows it. It's just that I know it as knowledge.,Of course, the shallots themselves haven't been there—

"Are you going to ......!?"

"No! There's an antique shop around there! It's a shop run by an acquaintance of Yukina.'

"Is there an antique shop nearby?"

The shallots tilted their heads and muttered to themselves. However, it doesn't sound like the ancient city is lying. Behind him came the meow of a kitten and the sound of someone talking.

"It's not very clear, but it's not busy right now, is it?"

"That's right, what's wrong?"

Gucheng asked in a relaxed tone. Shallot coughed lightly. Because the content is a bit hard to talk about.

"Well, do you remember the earrings you gave me on my birthday?"

"Ahh......h That's it. It's the blue guy you forced me to buy for you."

"That's not blue, it's turquoiseblue!"

The shallots replied angrily. The significance of that earring is that it is a light onion, not a blue color.

"What's wrong with those earrings?"

"I'm sorry. I don't know where I lost one."

Aha, smirking, shallots tried their best to pretend to be clear and confessed.

"Maybe when I went to the park with you during my lunch break—"

"Huh!?"

From the other side of the phone, there was the sound of the ancient city's frozen expression.

"Now I'm back looking for it, but I'm not confident that I'll be able to find it. Anyway I want to find it before the sun goes down, so I wanted you to come over and help."

"Y-you idiot-!"

"Huh!?"

The ancient city suddenly reprimanded loudly, and the attitude of the shallots became stiff. The ancient city would be so angry, I really didn't even think about it.

"What does that mean!? It's true that I'm not good if I lose it, but I don't have that kind of attitude—"

"That's not what I mean! Earrings and that kind of thing are good!'

"Huh?"

Listening to the bad tone of the ancient city, from somewhere in the light onion's head, there seemed to be a sound of some shattering. It's really infuriating.

"Whatever you want! That's what you bought for me -- anyway, I cherish it! ”

"So! Aren't those guys from the SAR garrison guarding there! The vicinity of the monastery is dangerous! Get me out of there before something troublesome happens, right now!'

"Huh?"

Hearing the anxious tone of the ancient city, the shallots were a little confused.

It seems that the reason for the anxiety of the ancient city lies in the fact that it has nothing to do with the earrings. It's not so much angry with shallots, it's more like worrying about her. That being said, isn't he making too much of a fuss.

“…… Don't take it so seriously. This time I didn't skip class, and it would be safer if there were people from the SAR Garrison."

"If you don't want to die, go back!"

"Yes~Yes~. Got it, got it. Then, look for another lap and go back."

"I'll go back right now!"

The ancient city shouted hoarsely.

Yes~Yes~, shallots turn a deaf ear to this. I don't know why he's so anxious, but I'm worried that I don't feel bad. I thought to myself, since I said that I would buy the ring for myself, I should give up the search for the earrings as soon as possible as agreed.

At this moment, the earth trembled violently with a roar.

The body floated in mid-air for a moment, and then the shallots rolled down the pavement as if they had been thrown out. The pouch on the shoulder was thrown out, and the contents were scattered.

"Light shallots!? What is this—what is that?'

The strange sound seemed to have reached the ancient city as well. The voice of the interrogation was very excited.

However, shallots could not answer.

It's not that there is no understanding of what is happening. However, there is no language to explain this situation.

Along with the destruction of the monastery buildings appeared, pitch-black fluids that moved amorphously like primitive animals. Neither living things nor metals, no fixed appearance - how can the existence of such a thing be conveyed?

"No...... Know...... What, this guy ......!? Image, blood...... and like mercury...... Woman!? ”

Enduring the pain in his body, the shallots slowly stood up.

The pitch-black fluid body also makes strange noises and changes into various shapes.

It was reminiscent of a poor creature that had failed to evolve. Fish washed up on land, falling birds, bizarre beasts, and humans. If there were a synthetic beast that fused the genetic factors of all living things, it might look like that.

And the monster is still growing.

The surrounding substances are fused indiscriminately, increasing its own mass. What started out as a volume at the level of a small car has expanded to the level of a small truck.

"Huh?"

Shallot stood up and wanted to leave quickly, but there was a bright cry in his ears that didn't fit the scene.

A young man in a striking red and white outfit with a magician style is looking down at the shallots standing downhill. The pupils of his eyes, which showed an innocent smile, were so cold that people couldn't help but tremble.

"That's not good. Someone saw it. Or not...... I'm going to die anyway."

The young man said in a nonchalant tone.

At that moment, the pitch-black monster roared.

From the amorphous flowing body, a thin ribbon-like ribbon slowly extends. By the time Shallot noticed that it wasn't a ribbon, but a huge tentacle as sharp as a blade, it was too late.

"Huh?"

Freed from the restraints of gravity, shallot's body floated in the air.

Then, half a beat slower, there was the sound of the atmosphere tearing.

The original target of the monster was probably a young man in a white coat. The shallots were just implicated. However, the young man in turn slashed off the monster's tentacles with his right hand, and only the unrelated shallots were hit directly. Then slowly fall.

"No...... Yes......"

Falling on his back on the ground, shallots muttered blankly.

Now I don't even feel the pain. With an incredible mood, I looked blankly at my own blood scattered in the sunset. It feels like you're looking at a rain of beautiful rubies.

"Did it escape? It's always unsatisfactory...... But forget it."

The young man in the white coat muttered faintly.

The pitch-black monster is gone. Maybe he fled for fear of being counterattacked.

The young man left the scene as if he had no interest in the shallots lying in a pool of blood.

"I'm sorry, the ancient city...... I seem to ...... Wrong......"

With the last bit of strength, the shallots laughed self-deprecatingly. The smartphone was no longer in Shallot's hand, and her voice could not be heard in the ancient city. Desperately stretched out, her fingers touched only the shards of ruby that glittered coldly.

……

By the time the ancient city came to the park where no one was, the sun had sunk to the western horizon.

I only remember that I used all the power of vampires, and I felt how I came here at a speed that I couldn't imagine in the past, and I don't remember how I got here, but the anxiety in my heart spread little by little.

No matter how many times I called, but the other party still didn't answer.

That reason, the ancient city will deeply understand.

"This is..."

The chapel in front of it was completely destroyed, and rubble was scattered around. It was like a giant monster getting up and breaking through the inside of the building.

Moreover, the SAR garrison guarding the monastery was also missing. Instead, the only metal statues that remained on the ground remained.

Of course, the ancient city knew that it was the alchemist's doing.

However, at this time, there was only one person that the ancient city wanted to find.

"Light shallots......?"

Filled with a sense of desperate anxiety, the ancient city desperately searched for the figure of the shallot.

The ancient city that could sense the breath of the other party anywhere, but this time, no matter what, it couldn't detect the breath of the shallots.

"Light shallots!?"

Maybe it was taken away by the Tenzuka, Gucheng thought. This is the worst script that the ancient city can think of. No matter what means are used, we must find out the Tenzuka and recapture the shallots.

Right. It should be possible to take it back.

Because shallots, there is no reason why they should be killed.

"Shallow...... Onion ......"

However, the ancient city understood. From the beginning, I was just deluding myself.

So far, I haven't noticed it because I'm too close.,The smell of sweet blood.。

It was the smell of her blood.

In a pool of crimson blood like dusk, there was a girl in uniform.

Costumes that are so ornate that they almost violate school rules, as well as hair colors that give a cheerful feel and eye-catching hairstyles. However, the dignified side face with her eyes closed reveals her serious nature.

When she is silent, she is obviously an indisputable beauty, but she always has a wicked smile that has no charm at all. However, her smiling face will not appear a second time.

Blue Feather shallot, already dead-
