Boundary wall, stage area.

Grand Festival Operations Headquarters, Lobby.

The cloister had been dyed red by the setting sun at dusk, but there was no one there.

The red glass cloister of Yemen is full of birds, and the lively scene of a week ago seems to be a phantom.

As the shadows of the minarets tilted and the palace darkened, the total number of people gathered in the hall was about 5,000.

It's just that what makes people laugh and cry is-

These are all doll heads.

5,000 children of all races.

"Really...... Yakumo-sama's medicine side effects are also a little too strange. ”

The black rabbit rubbed his forehead and looked at the noisy large area of [children] in the hall in annoyance.

These people were all adults who had taken potions that could cure the Black Death and became children.

Although there were some adults who had not been infected with the disease and had not taken medicine because of good fortune, the number of these people was less than 500.

"I can't help it, but although their bodies have become smaller, after all, they used to be adults, and it's okay to just let them do some simple help." Ren also said with a wry smile.

In front of a large group of children in the commotion, the leader of Salamandra, the new class ruler, Sandora, appeared.

"The course of action for this game has been decided, and the battle with the demon is led by [Salamandra] and Ren. [NoName] led by Russell is in charge! ”

There is no resentment that the community is [NoName].

These days, Yakumo Moren is promoting the name of Ren while curing their illnesses.

Many people know that there is such a boy who leads his members against the demon king.

"Then, the other members are responsible for collecting all the stained glass that has been placed everywhere!"

"Finally, the person who finds the glass must ask the commander for instructions to destroy or protect the glass according to the instructions!"

Although Yakumo has said that he can help collect glass, Ren and Sandora agree that they need to get these people involved in the Demon King game to help as well.

After all. Doing nothing and just passively waiting for help is not the same as actively participating in an effort to save oneself – even if their actions seem trivial – the result is not the same.

The latter will undoubtedly enhance people's friendship with each other and the cohesion of the community.

"Thank you! The above is the policy of the contestants, this is the final battle between us and the Demon King! Please be vigilant! ”

""""""""Oh oh - !!" ”””””””

Although it was a powerful roar, it was all a shrill and thin child's voice, and the scene looked extremely strange for a while.

"It's obviously a demon king game. But how does it feel like it's become children's entertainment? ”

Asuka didn't seem nervous at all, but looked at the dolls in the hall with interest.

Yao on the side couldn't help but nod his head.

◇

"Master, master, those guys actually solved our puzzle!!"

Wei Xi grabbed his short black hair unhappily and complained, and Lating on the side made a dissatisfied voice: "Hey, I thought these stupid people would always be helpless!" ”

"It doesn't matter, at worst, it's just killing everyone." Pester said the bloody lines with an expressionless face, "Since they have solved the puzzle, there is no need to retain their strength, I will activate Hamel's magic book." ”

"Lala~ Is the master finally going to use all his strength?"

"Yes. But just to be on the safe side...... Wes, I will give you Godhead. ”

◇

Accompanied by the melodious sound of bells, which symbolize the restart of the game, there is a violent earthquake.

The palace built by the hewn walls of the realm was swallowed up by the light, and a strong red light enveloped the participants' area.

Everything you see has changed dramatically.

The stage town near the border wall of the North Ward has disappeared.

In its place is a town dominated by wooden houses.

"Is this—?"

Standing alone on the roof, Yakumo looked at the situation in front of him in astonishment.

"Did you turn the whole stage into this...... Wrong! It should be said that a town outside has been moved here to replace the original stage...... Could it be the town of Hamel? ”

"That's amazing! I found out at the first time! ”

Wissy's voice suddenly rang out.

With a strange aura on his body, Wiser appeared not far from Yakumo with a spear in his hand.

"Huh? You guy...... Got the Godhead? ”

"Not only that, but if you fight in your hometown, your strength will go to the next level! Deal with it first, and then go find that yellow-haired imp to have a showdown! ”

“…… What a death flag. Since ancient times, the spearman is lucky E, and everyone who holds a gun likes to set up a flag? Yakumo shook his head. The yellow-haired kid you're looking for is right behind you, huh? ”

"What!?"

"Boom ――――――!!!!!"

A loud explosion was heard.

Wess dodged at the first moment, and the original house under his feet suddenly fell apart.

Sixteen Nights stood there, looking up at Wess as he jumped into the air.

"Don't bother Yakumo first, I'll fight you right now!!"

After finishing speaking, the ground under the feet of Sixteen Nights exploded, and his body even broke through the sound barrier. Shoot towards Weser in the sky.

◇

The pre-assigned teams methodically searched for stained glass in the towns that had become unfamiliar.

"Found it! This piece of glass is painted with a clown who manipulates mice! ”

"That's [the inheritance of hypocrisy]! Can be broken! ”

"There's that too!"

"And here!"

Just when Jen was looking for stained glass with Asuka and Yao.

"That's the end of it, huh?"

In front of the street, on the roof.

The hidden demon that manipulated the rats, Ratin, was standing there.

After a pretentious salute, Ratin raised the magic flute.

"Welcome to the town of Hamel, this street is called Bugen Rosen Street. The place where the famous Hidden Incident took place, and the next place is my home field! ”

With her words, there was a huge white giant like a giant god soldier.

Shotrom.

The oppressive force of the huge body instantly shook the people below - could they win?

"No...... The gap is too big...... It's hard to win! ”

Jen immediately made a judgment.

"Yao, you take Asuka first!"

"Renjun? What about you? ”

"Let's go! It doesn't matter what I say! You are the fighting power of the community, and there is no room for failure! ”

"Tut-tut, there is really a leader's demeanor, but if the leader dies, wouldn't the loss to the community be greater?"

However, in the face of Lating, it is true that Ren is indomitable and looks at death as home.

"It's really nice to see Renjun grow to this point."

A huge red giant suddenly appeared from the other side of the street, and Asukina, who was standing on the shoulders of the giant, held the Demon Slayer Holy Sword in her hand, and looked at the three of them with a smile like a spring breeze and said.

And on Asukina's shoulder, the elf is screaming happily.

◇

in the sky.

“…… Why? Why not join us? ”

Pace looked at Yakumo who was stopped in front of him and shook his head in confusion.

"What is there about the nameless [NoName] community for which you are worth fighting?"

"Who told you I was fighting for [NoName]?"

"Isn't it?" Pace looked at Yakumo in disbelief.

"Ah......h

Pulling his long hair in annoyance, Yakumo said.

"It's just that my wife has a life, so I can only fight against you!"

"Really?"

Pace sighed.

"So...... Are you ready to be eaten by me? ”

"Eat?" Yakumo Mo's eyes widened, "Are you sure you want to [eat]?" If you eat me, you'll have my flesh and bones in your belly, right? ”

Pace: ".................. So you are such an undisciplined person? ”

"Hey, don't you know that it's now customary for both sides to throw each other before the battle? Spotted Lori? ”

Speck...... Lori?

Pester was furious.

With his hands held high, a black storm emanated from his long sleeves.

"In that case, you should go to hell with the Honkai festival!"

Reaching out and taking out the [Nine Heavens] from the gap, Yakumo shook his head.

"I'm sorry, hell, I'm really okay to go back and walk around." (To be continued.) )
