It is located deep in the ground of the city of Tokyo.

Below the mesh, where the subway, water pipes, and sewers are densely packed like mesh, there is a giant egg-shaped space about 100 meters in diameter, which is the current temporary palace of Equatorial Jae.

There are entrances to the east, west, north and south, each with a shortcut. The shortcut then branched off into several branches of the road leading to various places on the ground.

These entrances are used when Equatorial Zhai drifts away for a walk, and now when returning to the palace. There is a slender sea dragon fossil with a light blue light at the east gate, a fossil with four feet bleached to a snow-white tiger at the west gate, a red strange bird fossil like an archaeopteryx at the south gate, and a fossil of a black giant tortoise at the north gate, each buried at the entrance.

Towering over the central machine, a monstrous combination of old-time gears, levers, and gauges. Bronze and iron utensils of unknown purpose are assembled in an irregular manner, and the whole appears to resemble a giant cactus. The top is divided into left and right sides like antlers, and the heat exhaust pipes occasionally "pop" white water vapor.

Scattered all over the meter, the hands spin dizzyingly, and the pistons slowly make loud noises, "thump" up and down.

"Puff~"

Water vapor came out again.

"How's it going?"

Equatorial Zhai walked directly below the machine and asked, only to see the control board flipping vigorously.

"The current situation is going well~ Please see the greed situation in the present world."

Equatorial Zhai raised his head.

The giant dome that covers this space resembles a planetarium, reflecting the dark night sky with faint candlelight on the eve of dawn. Around the Big Kill are dozens of old-fashioned 14-inch TVs, slowly orbiting like satellites orbiting the planet.

"Probably thanks to the "high technology" of the present world provided by that adult, the amount of power is leaked into quite easily! It's unbelievable~'

"The Mass Killing World" happily made a report.

Television footage shows private TV stations, satellite programs, elevators, convenience stores, and banks. Even burglar security monitors and home video footage for general household use are not spared.

The televisions switch images at a dizzying pace.

And "The Big Kill" sometimes pauses the video, pulls the TV to its side, and stares intently at the TV screen. Sometimes it's the audience who exaggerates their surprise on a mail-order show, sighing and saying "I want it so much~", and sometimes it's a picture of a rich woman in a fur coat buying high-priced jewelry at a jewelry store. Whenever I encounter that kind of situation. Television broadcasts similar images glow crimson, and that light is sucked into the curved antenna set above the head of the "Great Killing World" and disappears without a trace.

"How much is left before the spiritual power storage target?"

Out of the corner of his eye, Equator glanced at the carved wooden puppet who was twisting and dancing to the music of the satellite program, and then asked about the "Great Killing World".

The faithful machine immediately replied, "There are about sixty-four .3 percent left."

"Sixty percent left? It's the same as yesterday, but is it because the absorption rate has decreased? ”

"It's better to revise the target value."

"I see."

Equatorial Zhai frowned, staring at the two gates that were set up in the lower part of the "Great Killing Realm" like ovens.

“…… It turns out that I have been cursed with such a serious "unspeakable curse"! ”

"Well, although I have barely found a way to analyze it, it seems that I have been cursed with other troubles, and the spellcaster is really merciless!"

"That's right......" Equatorial Zhai muttered to himself. Maybe it's a less cost-effective contract. ”

"No, you can't say that! Actually, thanks to the skill provided by that adult, I was able to level up significantly, and as far as the results are concerned, although it was a bit of a detour, it was still relatively fast. The most important thing is that thanks to him, just the fact that the master is thinking about the 'secret plan to win' against the big demon fox. It's almost done!"

"What is my strength?"

"Eighty percent...... No, it should have been restored.'"

"Hmm." Equatorial Zhai nodded and flicked his fingers.

The wood-carved chicken that had been resting on his shoulder since just now vibrated its wings "coo~". After a puff of white smoke came out of the "Bang Bang", a pair of leather shoes appeared on Equatorial Zhai's feet.

Although the lower body is still exposed......

"Seventy percent is probably like that, right?" Equatorial Zhai muttered some inexplicable words.

"How?" Do you want to download the energy you currently have stored to your master first?'

I heard the "Big Killing World" ask. Equatorial Zhai shook his head.

"No, it doesn't have to be like that. Divert that energy to the work of analyzing and unraveling mantras. ”

After Equatorial Zhai finished speaking, he spoke to the wooden puppet who had been dancing to the same rhythm just now.

"Is it fun?"

Zicha Zicha Zicha.

That's the rhythm of rock music. The head of the wooden puppet "Titicaca" shakes the ground.

"Yay~ It's so cool! Baby~"

The word "dance" appeared on the glittering crystal ball in the center of his skull. "The Big Kill" cleverly turns up the volume of the music program.

Zichazichazichazicha.

Equatorial Zhai's face was expressionless.

Then they started dancing together calmly. Zicha Zicha. The lower half of his body is still exposed.

"Yo~" the wood-carved puppet shouted, and the wood-carved chicken "coo~" called. Happily fluttering the wings.

"Aha! It's so cool!'

A bunch of weirdos who behave beyond the norm. At this time—

"Huh?"

The TV started to have a rustling noise.

"Huh? Huh?'

The Great Killing World was the first to notice this, and Equatorial Zhai immediately raised his face.

"It's ......"

He frowned rarely. Dozens of TVs floating in the dome were filled with noise at the same time. And from time to time......

Yes.

An ominous black shadow flickered.

Blurry images that are difficult to explain. A "chirp~" sound grew louder and louder along with the noise. Then, the next moment.

"Haha

The image suddenly became clearer. Equatorial Xiao made a gloomy voice. muttered: "Great Demon Fox ......"

Now, a beast like a dark shadow laughs loudly on dozens of televisions. It was a black beast depicted by a black noise that stretched and contracted like thorns.

"Haha

Whenever he yelled or laughed loudly, the black noise lines expanded and contracted widely. The white part of the eye, which is equivalent to a slender eye, narrows with interest. The sight of the black beast in the midst of dozens of TVs shot towards Equatorial Zhai as if it made a "chirping" sound.

"I walk in the web of thoughts created by man. That's how I met a soulmate I missed. The Black Beast said, "It's a good day." It's been a long time, human magician! When did you return to this world? ”

“…… O King of Foxes! Unfortunately, I don't have anything to say hello to you. ”

"Hee-hee-hee." The Shadow Beast laughed wickedly, "I guess so...... Three hundred years. No, it's been four hundred years, right? You fled to the bottom of a dark cave because of your crushing defeat to Uncle Ben. Even if you meet me again in this form, you can only feel sorry for yourself! ”

“……”

"What's wrong? Does the sight of me who won you tremble at the sight of me? Equatorial Zhai, you are so ashamed! ”

Well?

The beast's eyes gazed at the equatorial Zhai rather contemptuously. But Equatorial Zhai's face did not change at all.

"Let me make one thing clear! Big demon fox! ”

The wooden puppet spun the rock drill, and Equator Zhai flashed his fingers and said, "Now it is you who are imprisoned and sealed. Defeated by the weak dog gods. You're the one who has been disgraced and imprisoned. You can't set fires or fly in the air, and you can only dance humiliating dances constantly. Compared to you, I can still look down on you so disdainfully in the sun. You've figured out where you stand! Beast! ”

He responded in a light tone, but instead insulted his face more fiercely. The black beast's eyes widened in surprise.

Then......

"Haha He let out a rather pleasant laugh.

"Interesting! Equatorial fasting! You're really funny among the wasteless humans! ”

The black beast, which had its mouth wide open and occupied the entire TV day, continued.

"So, to celebrate our rare reunion, I'll tell you a piece of good news!"

The beast's face suddenly moved closer to the frame.

"I'll be able to get out of here in a minute. It's not now, but it's been a long time. Did you hear me clearly? When the time comes......"

At this time, the daytime surface of the TV suddenly mixed with some noise.

"Tsk!"

The black beast snorted.

"The power of the barrier has become stronger. Now in charge. There really are two brushes...... Rustle rustle...... Tut! Feed! The black beast said with a little panic, "I'll see you again when I get out of here...... Rustle rustle——...... Feed! Equatorial Zhai, you get the idea! We definitely have to fight again...... Rustle rustle rustle ————"

It was as if the beast that refused to speak and was forcibly interrupted stretched out its unseen paws. Make the TVs spew flames one by one. The tone of the black beast's shouting at the end of the cry always sounded like a naughty boy choking on the object of the quarrel.

Equatorial Zhai stood directly below the TV that had been blown up one after another, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

The flames shone on the side of his face.

"Of course it's no problem, big demon fox!"

It was a chillingly cold tone.

Soon after, all televisions were short-circuited. One by one, they fell to the ground and crumbled into pieces. "The Mass Killing" made a sad report.

"Alas~~~~~~ because of what he just did, all the spiritual power accumulation circuits were broken...... What to do? Master? Do you want to go to the ground and get the TV again? You'll have to collect it all from scratch......

Equatorial Zhai fell into deep thought, then shook his head.

"No ......"

A plan came to his mind. He nodded widely, "Just a good target." ”

"Let's make the summer festival a goal."

The Great Killing Realm was very impressed and said, "...... I see. Have you chosen a day that best collects human desires and desires?'

"That's right. The Magister flails his wings in this energetic feast. It's also a kind of fun, right? ”

Because of this remark, which was mixed with laughter, the city of Tokyo, which was already harboring unease, was about to face the biggest crisis at the summer festival. (To be continued......)
