As Cindy and the others said, something seemed to be wrong inside the ship. Even if he was worried, he couldn't help it, Nagisa thought about it so actively and began to pick out the souvenirs displayed in front of the store. The key rings and pendants of the "Demon Special Zone" are all things that people who usually live in Xianjin City don't have the opportunity to see. The rarity of the rarity, combined with the liberating feeling of travel, unconsciously stimulates Nagisa's desire to shop.

"Ah, that's good. Buy one."

Nagisa found a key ring with kojo written in Roman characters, and she couldn't help but hold it in her hand. Jewelry with a name written on it is rare to see it now, and it is a rare item with a distinctive name like the ancient city (Japanese pronunciation kojo). There was no way she could have let go of something so precious.

"Ah, I'm sorry"

The door to the salesperson's aisle opened, and Nagisa felt someone walk out. She turned around and raised her hand.

I thought it was an employee of a store, but standing there was a man dressed strangely and would make people think he was a magician. When he and Nagisa made eye contact, he smiled grimly and raised his right hand.

Then he waved his hand casually as if he were about to dust off the mud on his clothes

"Nagisa-chan, get down ——!"

"Huh!?"

Affected by Yukina's screams, Nagisa squatted down on the spot. The silver light on Nagisa's head scattered, and Yukina used her dagger to flick back the tentacles that were flying towards Nagisa.

"Snow, pickle-chan!?"

Nagina didn't know what was going on, and she was first surprised by the dagger Yukina was holding. Then she was speechless when she saw the figure of the man glaring at each other with Yukina, and the man's silhouette shook and collapsed, turning into a monster with countless tentacles.

"What's this, what is this man!?"

"Run! Hurry up! ”

Yukina stood in front of Nagisa, who was terrified. Nagisa stands in the middle of the wide walkway, and it is not difficult to escape from the monsters. Nagisa, however, shook her head with a blushing face, and sat down weakly on the ground.

"Demon ...... Is it? ”

"Nagisa-chan......!?"

After noticing that Nagisa was so panicked that she couldn't move, Yukina was stunned. Nagisa suffers from Daedric phobia. Although she is a resident of the "Demon Special Zone", she is afraid of the Demon Clan. And it's so serious that you can't even get out of here.

"What a faux pas. I'm human. It's hurtful......"

As if to threaten Nagisa, who was trembling with fear, Tenzuka slowly approached her.

"No...... No. Stay back! ”

Nagisa's voice trembled and she desperately tried to step back. But her stiff, slender arms were just scratching the floor in vain. Yukina is looking for a way out while holding back Tenzuka. If she had to protect Nagisa in a panic, it would be impossible for her to fight Amazuka. Now she's going to have to flee with Nagisha—

However, Yukina's plan is shattered by a new figure oozing through a crack in the wall. Another Amazuka appeared, blocking Yukina's retreat.

"Second ——!?"

Yukina's eyes stared desperately at the enemies approaching from front to back. Amazuka is the kind of strong enemy that even if there is a "Snow Wolf", I don't know if I can kill it. Not to mention, it is still the enemy of two Tenzuka at the same time, and in this case, it is impossible for Yukina to protect Nagisa alone.

As if trying to play with the desperate Yukina, the two Tenzuka shorten the distance even further.

"No, don't! Guchengjun, save me! Ancient City Jun ————! ”

Nagisa crouched and screamed, and the magic that was released from her body in an instant was extremely amazing. The air froze, white smoke rose from her side, and snow crystals like petals danced wildly around her.

"What!?"

The second Tenzuka, bathed in the direct impact of the cold air, formed a white frost in his body and fell to the ground, wriggling like a tumbling pain, desperately trying to distance himself from Nagisa.

"What's going on with this guy......!? What the hell is this magic ......!? Damn it! ”

The first Amazuka also retreated in fear and began to flee.

Yukina watched him leave blankly. Now she has no leisure to pursue Amazuka. Nagisa's mutation continues. If it continues like this, it will be swept into the whirlpool of cold air blowing wildly, and I'm afraid that Yukina will not be able to protect herself.

"Nagisa Sauce ——!"

Yukina raised the mana power in her body to the limit, endured the cold air, and desperately shouted Nagisa.

Nagisa, surrounded by pure white air, stood up leisurely. But Nagisa's pupils were so hollow that she didn't even notice Yukina's presence. She was completely unconscious, possessed by something. If she continues to release the cold air like this, sooner or later the ship will be destroyed. But now she is not attacking anyone with a clear idea. She just showed up, I'm afraid she only showed up to save Nagisa from a desperate situation-

However, as long as she is here, she will spread astonishing damage. Yukina is well aware of the existence that is very similar to it. That's the world's strongest vampire, the twelve beasts of the Fourth True Ancestor. The current Nagisa is exactly the same as the ancient city when the beast failed to control the beast and caused the beast to run wild.

However, the torrent of destructive magic is strangely interrupted by an emotionally charged female voice.

"Alright, that's it——!"

A swirl of cold air appeared in the image of a young woman wearing a cheongsam with red hair tied in two bags and three braids. She dodged into Nagisa's arms with a scream, and flicked her middle finger Nagisa's forehead as she went on a rampage.

"Sasasaki-sensei!?"

Yukina was stunned and stared at the head teacher to show her brutal power. The red-haired woman, Cape Sasazaki, is Yukina's homeroom teacher. Of course, she also participated in this residential training as a leading teacher. And she also has the title of national demon attacker. Not only is it the junior of that Nangong Nayue, but he is also the only person who can make Nayue feel a headache, and these alone can make people understand that Cape is extraordinary.

“…… Are you going to hinder me, Taoist——? ”

The being attached to Nagisa asked at Cape in Nagisa's voice. Nagisa's rampage isn't over, but the presence attached to Nagisa seems to recognize Cape as a worthy opponent to talk to.

"How so. However, if you were serious here, the ship would be blown away. In that case, you're going to be bothered, right? ”

Cape said with a hideous smile in the furious cold air. Although the other party probably didn't accept Cape's warning, the scattered magic fluctuations suddenly disappeared.

"I see...... Okay, I'll just give you a little more time......"

With that, Nagisa closed her eyes and fell on the spot like a doll with a broken thread. The possession status is lifted.

Sasazaki-sensei...... What the hell was that ...... just now?"

Yukina asked Cape as she breathed white steam, and the defenses she created by unleashing her spell were almost at the limit. If Nagisa's rampage had lasted another thirty seconds, Yukina would have been frozen all over.

"I can't answer anything about the student."

Cape smiled playfully. Her expression was wordless, and everyone should be with each other about certain things. Yukina sighed wordlessly. Although she is also very concerned about Nagisa's secret, she is more worried about Tenzuka than this.

"The thing about the alchemist named Amazuka Mercury—"

"I know. I met him before I came here. I also heard about the situation from that month's senior, and I really didn't expect him to target this ship. It's backfired."

After saying that, Cape pursed his lips. As a leading teacher, she has a responsibility to protect the safety of her students. She should know more about the situation than Yukina.

"What about the other students?"

"In refuge under the command of the castle guard. But it's still on the ship, after all. It doesn't look like the opponent can be stopped by enchantments alone, maybe it's a bit bad."

"Yes......"

Yukina had a distressed expression. It's a pity, as Cape said. Even if you escape in a lifeboat, you won't be able to escape completely. Amatsuka can freely change the form of **, and I am afraid that it can move unaffected in the water. Because. Even if the body is a dense liquid metal, it can be buoyant enough if you breathe air into the body.

"He's splitting and increasing, and if you don't know which direction he's going from, there's really nothing you can do about it. The seniors may still be trying to figure it out. At least let me know what that guy is up to."

Cape Karakala gritted his teeth. A gentle voice rang out behind her

"It's probably my goal."

“…… Haze!? Didn't you evacuate with everyone? ”

Misaki looked up in surprise. I'm sorry, Xia Yin shook her head as if embarrassed.

"I remembered what happened when that man attacked everyone in the monastery. He said that he needed to be an offering to a strong psychic person. And that monastery shelters a lot of psychics."

"Offerings!?"

Yukina's face turned pale. Amazuka is an alchemist. And for alchemists, when it comes to offerings, it means only one thing.

"Could it be that he's using you as alchemical material—"

"Yes, so as long as you don't come near me, everyone will be fine"

Xia Yin said with a gentle expression unique to an enlightened person. Then she turned her back to Yukina and ran in the opposite direction from the students who had taken refuge.

"Hase!? Are you going to use yourself as bait——!? ”

Cape noticed Natsune's intentions and groaned. She was holding Nagisa who had passed out in a coma, and she couldn't stop Natsune immediately. Instead, Yukina took action.

"Mr. Sasazaki. Xiao will ask you. Leave it to me! ”

"Ah......h Wait a minute, even you——! ”

Yukina shook off Cape's stop and ran towards the bow of the boat. I'm afraid Natsune's judgment is correct. If Tenzuka's target was indeed a psionic person, then he would definitely not let go of the royal family of Arutikia and the sword witch of the Lion King Organ, the two highest level psionic powers. At least during the time that Yukina and the others are bait, the other students should be safe.

However, it is impossible to escape all the time in a narrow ship, and sooner or later you will be cornered. A way to kill Amazuka must be found before then.

But what should be done——?
