A large hole suddenly broke in the middle of the impermeable black mist, and the long arrows wrapped in pale aura carried a sharp whistling sound and shot diagonally into the sky.

"Bang!"

There was a dull explosion in the dark night sky, and then the sky became as bright as day. Countless snowflake-like glowing fragments fell from the sky, and as soon as the thick black mist touched them, it was immediately like ice and snow under the scorching summer sun, and it was melted away in an instant.

The fog faded away without a trace, and people's eyesight soon returned to normal.

"Hmm!"

The darkness receded, and a bright light followed, and Ehrlich and Soul Demon subconsciously narrowed their eyes.

At this time, they realized that the lights around them had been on all along.

After a while, the two of them adjusted to the change in luminosity, and reopened their eyes to look ahead.

In the middle of the courtyard, there stood a figure that Ehrlich was very familiar with, but at this moment felt a little unfamiliar.

A breeze blew, and the waist-length purple hair swayed gently in the wind.

The girl held her longbow aloft, still in the posture of having just shot an arrow. The demon-breaking arrow that completely dispersed the black mist was undoubtedly sent by her.

"Hirano ......"

Has the power hidden in that child's body awakened after all?

In fact, Ehrlich did not look forward to this day, so he kept hiding things about himself from her. He hopes that his granddaughter can live an ordinary life as an ordinary person.

Having unusual power means that you have to take on certain responsibilities that you don't want. Sometimes it's very heavy, and not everyone can afford it.

"Jingle bell!"

The longbow in the shrine maiden's hand fell with a "clang" and hit the ground. The crisp sound of the brass bell tied to one end woke Ehrlich up.

"Huh?"

Ehrlich remembered that it was supposed to be enshrined in the worship hall, and that he had already stored it before he came to this shrine, but now he didn't understand why it was in the hands of Hirano Sakurasaki.

After shooting that arrow, it seemed that all the power in Sakurasaki Hirano's body had been exhausted, and she slowly closed her eyes, her head falling suddenly. Her body shook, and the unconscious girl began to fall forward.

"Ahh

Patronizing and thinking about things, I forgot to hold each other in the past!

Even though he realized that it was too late, Ehrlich hurried over.

Sakurazaki Hirano's falling body was caught by a pair of calm and powerful hands.

"Thank you. ”

The man grabbed the other man's shoulders and whispered in her ear.

The girl's head tilted, and her whole body leaned into the other's arms.

At this time, Ehrlich also ran in front of him.

"Is she okay than Rano?"

Looking at his granddaughter's face, which was as white as a blank sheet of paper, he couldn't help but twitch in his heart.

"It's fine, it's just too much power. ”

I let go and tried to hand Sakurazaki to Ehrlich, but I couldn't push her. When I looked down, I realized that this girl's hands were grasping my clothes tightly at some point.

What are you doing? Your grandfather is on the other side! If you want to arrest him, you should arrest him.

"Really? That's good. ”

The old man was relieved to hear that his granddaughter was fine.

After a closer look, he suddenly noticed that Sakurazaki Hirano's long purple hair had turned back to its original black at some point.

"Ehrlich, come here. ”

The soul demon dragged the two maids who had crashed to the side, but they didn't know what to do to wake them up, so they had no choice but to ask their master for help.

"It's coming. ”

The old man turned around and immediately ran back.

"Eh......"

At the very least, you should take your granddaughter with you first!

What an irresponsible guy.

After a few attempts, I still couldn't tear Sakurasaki's hand away, and finally had to give up.

A group of people were busy with this and that, and no one noticed that there was a strange black shadow slowly rising from the ground.

“ヲ？”

WO Sauce looked at this and that with a confused expression, she couldn't understand why she was here. She only vaguely remembered that she was waiting for Marisa to return, and then she couldn't remember what had happened.

The girl's gaze suddenly froze, and not far ahead, she suddenly saw the person.

Even if it's just a back, she will never admit it.

The girl's eyes lit up immediately......

Murderous!!

As I was thinking about taking Sakurazaki Hirano away, I suddenly felt a chill from behind me that made my muscles contract.

Oops, why did you forget that guy?

"Wait a minute......"

"Bang!"

Because there is an extra burden on the body, it is too late to dodge. However, before I could turn around, I felt something harder than steel slam into my lower back. It was so powerful that it almost broke my spine.

"Oooo

I held my waist with one hand, and my body bent down uncontrollably.

It's killing me!

“ヲ！ヲ！”

WO WRAPPED HIS ARMS AROUND ME FROM BEHIND, PUSHING HARD AND RUBBING AGAINST ME.

But this usual coquettish behavior made me feel more and more painful.

The angular hat on her head almost rubbed off the skin on my back!

"Stop, stop. ”

If this continues, I, who have never participated in the battle, will also be severely damaged!

At my command, it was only after half a ring that WO Sauce reluctantly stopped his behavior.

“ヲ。 ”

"Ah, you're hungry?"

What are you kidding, just the powerful impact just now, where does it look like you are a little hungry and almost fainting?

“ヲ...... ヲ......”

When I didn't get an answer, the girl had already taken her own hands and groped around with me looking for food.

"Wow, stop, there's no food in that place...... You can't touch it!!!."

After Ehrlich's reboot, VIVIT and VIVIT-r finally returned to normal. Some of the lines were damaged, but as long as you don't exercise too vigorously before the repair is completed, it won't have much impact on your daily behavior.

The automatic repair system in their bodies also ensures that all the damaged parts can be repaired within a few days, and they can be upgraded by the way. When you encounter that kind of high-intensity electromagnetic pulse again in the future, you will not be as defenseless as this time.

"The same trick won't work against Miss Ben! ”

The red-haired maid who broke out in the second middle school didn't have long to be happy when she was kicked away by her companion.

"Stop laughing so stupidly, get to work......"

Sakurazaki Hirano finally handed it over to Ehrlich and them, and they probably guessed that this girl was the culprit who caused everyone to be anxious just now, but because of me, everyone didn't blame her in the end.

But the main reason is probably that I repaired the destroyed shrine!

"Where did you go before?"

Shake one’s head.

"Who is this kid, and how did he end up with you?"

Blinked, and shook his head again.

It's really a question and I don't know.

Even why he appeared in this place, WO Sauce was confused.

This little fool is so worrying.

"That'...... Is anyone else with you?"

“ヲ。 ”

Oh, it's not just the two of us, Marisa is here!

Finally got good news.

"What about her?"

“ヲ！”

“......”

In the end, I was separated, that useless guy.

“ヲ，ヲ。 ”

The girl grabbed my thigh and shook it twice, looking a little unhappy.

"Ah, got it, got it. ”

I took out what WO Sauce wanted, a large piece of chocolate - it just looked like it on the outside, but it was actually a special alloy rich in aluminum, with many rare metals added to it, and it was one of her favorite foods.

“ヲ！！！”

When she saw the object in my hand, the girl's eyes immediately turned into a sparkling heart, and without me handing it to her, she had already pounced on it and took a big bite on it.

Like an oversized hamster, WO sauce chews a chunk of alloy to smash it with a "click" and swallows it.

She is the only one who can bite metal so easily. The little ghosts in the house before were greedy for a while, and they also wanted to taste what this kind of thing tasted like, but they almost broke their teeth.

"In the future, even if you are hungry, you must not attack people!"

When I looked up, the girl who had been turned into a metal statue was lying quietly on the ground, and although I didn't know who she was, I picked her up.

I picked up WO-chan, who was sitting between my legs, and put it aside, and crawled next to the girl.

I put my ear to each other's chest for a long time, and finally heard a few extremely faint heartbeats.

Thankfully, it's alive.

It's just that WO-chan turned her into a statue, but she doesn't know how to unqualify the other party!

Looks like I'll have to clean up the mess for her.

"Removing the magic of petrification should also have an effect!"

I was thinking about what to do, but there was a knock on the door......

Sakurazaki Hirano has woken up, but something is wrong.

"Except for the fact that the body is relatively weak, the other qiē is normal. ”

As an all-rounder, the VIVIT-r can naturally do a relatively simple physical examination. But after being busy for a long time, she still couldn't find out where there was a problem with the other party.

His eyes were open, but no matter how Ehrlich shouted, Sakurazaki still didn't react at all.

"Let me take a look!"

The man who was brought in by VIVIT waved his hand, and the maid kneeling at the head of the bed hurriedly stepped back.

Sakurazaki Hirano lay motionless in the bed, his eyes wide open, without the slightest expression on his face, looking almost like a doll.

I reached out and waved it a few times in front of her eyes.

"Sure enough, there was no response!"

Leaning closer, I fixed my eyes on the girl.

In the depths of those dark pupils, something dark red seemed to be surging.

I lowered my head slightly and met her eyes.

"Who are you?"
