The walking dragon son

Kurogane Ju Shizuku was defeated without a doubt, even if she tried her best, she was finally cut down by Raikiri.

Even though she proved her growth and strength, she still shed tears.

Ciel could understand her reluctance. To her, losing to Todou Touka was nothing, but not being able to participate in the Seven Star Sword Festival with her brother was the most difficult thing for her to accept.

But let’s leave the comforting task to Kurogane Ikki! If it doesn't work out, there is still Arisuin Nagi, a true best friend here, and Ciel has no intention of helping.

For Ciel, the most critical thing is the next trip to Okutama. But what Charles didn't know was that more than one conspiracy was brewing in the darkness, and he was also implicated in it.

……

Shinjuku District has always been one of the most prosperous areas in the island nation of Tokyo. Among the forest-like high-rise buildings, there is a thirty-story building that is particularly conspicuous.

This is the island branch of the International Magic Knights Alliance, and the branch chief's office is located on the highest floor of this building.

Although it was already dark, the lights were not turned on in the office. Through the brilliant neon lights of Shinjuku, you can spot a person sitting here.

The man who controls all the swordsmen in the island country is the current head of the famous Kurogane family - "Iron-Blooded" Kurogane Yan.

In front of him was a fat, middle-aged man with a flattering smile on his face. He looked quite like the God Ebisu enshrined in the shrine.

There is a reason why he faced Kurogane Yan with this attitude, because the relationship between the two is not only that of branch chief and subordinate.

The man's name is Akaza Mamoru, and he is the head of the branch of the Kurogane family.

"About Kurogane Ikki, you said you had a clever plan!"

Kurogane looked directly at Akazamomo, obviously very interested in the plan he proposed.

"You know it! If this continues, Kurogane Ikki is likely to get a representative spot at the Seven Stars Sword Festival, and then we will be in trouble!"

If you hear these words, it will be difficult to believe that Kurogetsu Yan is actually Kurogetsu Ikki's biological father, as if he is more like an irresolvable enemy.

But the reason for this situation is very simple. Kurogane Ikki's activity is really contrary to the philosophy that Kurogane Yan has always pursued, and it questions Kurogane Yan's method of managing the swordsmen of the island country.

So Kurogane tried every means to exclude Kurogane Ikki from the realm of the swordsman. Even if he is his own son!

And Akaza Mamoru noticed Kuroyukihime's thoughts and took this as an opportunity for his promotion.

"Master, don't worry! After all, he is just a student and does not know the dangers of adult society!

Leave this matter to me, Akaza Mamoru! Kurotetsu Ikki will never be a problem for you in the future. "

Having said this, a suspicious smile appeared on Akazamomo's blessed face.

……

Unlike the Alliance Island branch located in a bustling city, this place is located in the wilderness, and it feels particularly like a villain's stronghold.

Like Kurogane's office, there was no light, but this room had a quagmire-like feel. This difference may be due to the different auras of the people in the room.

There is a large screen in the dark room. The light emitted by the screen illuminates part of the sofa and the legs of the person sitting on it.

The man's face was still hidden in the darkness, but his illuminated clothes were those of a clown.

Surprisingly, what was playing on the screen was the video of the Pojun Academy intramural competition.

The videos divided into different squares show different competitions, including those of Touka Todou, Kidokuhara Kanata, Stella and Ciel.

"Oh my! This year's Pojun Academy is really not easy. There are so many powerful characters.

It gives me a headache just to think that these people may be our opponents! "

Although he said this, the clown didn't look bothered at all. Rather, even if a man knows he will face the person on the screen, he is still able to do so with ease.

On the one hand, the Joker does not care about the success or failure of this operation, but on the other hand, he is also quite confident in his own combat power.

Although due to confidentiality, he did not have the entire list of his own, but the two people he was responsible for contacting were not simple guys.

And the most reliable person is right next to you.

The man was leaning against the wall, completely hidden in the darkness, but you could tell that he was a tall young man.

He was also looking at the screen, but his eyes were only focused on two pictures. Those are battle videos belonging to Stella and Ciel respectively.

The clown also noticed this and said: "Speaking of which, the Red Lotus Princess you have been paying attention to may also be... no, judging from her performance, she will definitely be one of the targets this time.

I heard that you agreed to participate in this operation just to see her. "

The young man's voice was unexpectedly cold as he replied: "Princess Honglian is still too immature! Now I want to fight with another man even more!"

The clown followed the boy's gaze and saw that he was a boy covered in flames just like Stella.

"Ciel, the exchange student from Shenryu Temple...? He looks like a great guy."

"He is very strong, and he has never been serious in the games so far. Only once..."

The young man seemed to have remembered something embarrassing and stopped talking.

The clown didn't seem to be able to read people's faces, so he said, "Is it that mock battle with your brother? It's really weird, that man's only serious competition was with your innocent brother!"

The young man said coldly: "I told you that I have nothing to do with the Kurogane family!"

Yes, the boy's surname was also Kurogane, and he was Ikki's blood-related brother. Isn't the parent-child relationship in this family too strange?

The father who regards his son as his enemy, the brother who has severed ties with the family, and the sister who is controlled by the brother... It's really hard for Kurogane Ikki... He himself ran away from home, so that would be no problem.

The boy's eyes passed over the scene of Kurogane Ikki's battle on the screen, without any fluctuation in his eyes.

"How cold!" the clown joked.

The boy didn't seem to want to continue this topic. Although he was a companion, he didn't like getting along with the clown, so he turned around and left.

The clown was still sitting on the sofa, and his eyes gradually focused on the picture of Stella and Ciel.

He lowered his body, revealing the raised corners of his mouth in the light. It was a stiff but malicious smile.

Even though his back was turned, the boy seemed to see the clown's smile.

"By the way, clown! Although I don't know what you are doing, but before the "Eve Festival" begins, you'd better be honest and don't do anything futile.

I am an ordinary student and do not understand the ways of the military. But you are from the <Army>, so you can't act rashly before the battle! "

The young man reminded him like this, but the clown didn't seem to appreciate it.

"Having said that, it's not fun just waiting around! It's not fun at all, and that's not okay!

I hate things that aren't interesting! Because I am <Clown (Pierrot)>, I have to smile all the time. Whether he does good or bad things, the clown must have fun doing it! "

The young man really didn't agree with the idea of ​​a celebrity in Gotham, so he said: "Your words are still the same and difficult to understand.

But do whatever you want! As long as it doesn't get in my way, that's fine. "

The clown said excitedly: "Hahaha, that's good! If you can understand the clown easily, it won't be interesting!"

The young man snorted coldly: "But if you get in my way, I will be the first to deal with you!"

"It's really scary! Don't worry, I'm a clown and I only do things for fun!"

After receiving the clown's answer, the boy continued to leave, this time without stopping, and left the dark room directly.

The clown moved his fingers and said to himself: "I wonder who will be there? How will the new relay doll perform? This is all really... interesting!"

First chapter today! I found that the anime has changed a lot compared to the novel, not only the sequence of events, but also some of the character settings have changed. I suspect that the anime has no plans to release a second season, and none of the foreshadowing in the novel has been made. Currently rewriting the novel.
