Start a Dome

"Ah."

Nodding, looking at the elegantly decorated cafe, just when Akazawa Izumi wanted to follow in.

Her arm was gently grasped.

Shaking slightly, Akazawa Izumi turned her head and looked at Xia Mo angrily.

"Can't you see?"

"......Eh?"

"Can't see... what?"

Following Xia Mo's gaze, Akazawa Izumi opened her eyes wide.

An elegant cafe with a nice smell.

Inside, Mochizuki Yuya and Kazami Kazuki were being entertained by young girls in normal clothes.

"Tsk, are the abilities of the evil spirits different?"

"Don't say such inexplicable things, Sakakihara-san! Let me go!"

There was a blush on her fair face, Akazawa Izumi shouted softly.

Xia Mo just looked at her expressionlessly.

Somewhat panicked and overwhelmed, Akazawa Izumi quickly pushed open the door of the cafe.

puff!

Something warm and sticky splashed on her face.

"......Eh?"

Everything in front of him was distorted, the originally elegant cafe became dilapidated, dark, filled with a lot of spider webs.

A head gently rolled to the side of Akazawa Izumi's brown leather shoes.

thump!thump!

The heart beat hard, looking at the head of Kazami Kazuki, Akazawa Izumi opened her eyes wide.

"What's wrong, Akazawa-san?"

There was still a shy smile on his face, half of his clothes were stained red with blood, Mochizuki Yuya looked at Akazawa Izumi in puzzlement.

The biting chill penetrated into the bone marrow, looking behind Mochizuki Yuya, the huge spider that was constantly gnawing on the headless corpse, Akazawa Izumi's body trembled uncontrollably.

"This... what is this?"

Covering her mouth and suppressing her nausea, she asked tremblingly.

"Of course it's my sister~"

Mochizuki Yuya smiled and said, a cold light flashed away.

- Pfft!

Sitting down on the ground, Akazawa Izumi's pupils constricted as she watched the spider spear that almost pierced her head.

"Can you still move?"

Xia Mo's voice sounded behind her.

Seeing Mochizuki Yuya whose half body turned into a oozing white bone, Xia Mo narrowed his pupils slightly.

"Sakaki... Sakakibara..."

--boom!

The baseball bat and the pure white spider spear collided, Xia Mo grabbed Akazawa Izumi's arm, turned around and hugged her in his arms.

"I won't let you escape, Sakakihara-san, Akasawa-san!"

Mochizuki Yuya's bitter voice sounded from behind, and at the same time, the black figure disappeared in a flash.

"Heng Yi! Be careful!"

Looking at the spider spear that was about to pierce Xia Mo's head, Akazawa Izumi said in shock.

He stopped abruptly, turned around, wiped the spider spear from Xia Mo's cheek, turned his right hand into a palm, and slammed his palm on Mochizuki Yuya's chest.

boom!

- Crack!

The white bone split open, Mochizuki Yuya's expression changed.

"cough....."

There was a sweetness in the throat, and Mochizuki Yuya coughed up a large amount of black blood.

"My... offal."

Clutching his chest tightly, almost all the internal organs inside were shattered, with red eyes, Mochizuki Yuya stared at Xia Mo and Akazawa Izumi who disappeared from his sight.

Crazy resentment emerged, just when Mochizuki Yuya supported the ground and wanted to get up.

A black shadow enveloped him, and he swung down the metal bat gleaming coldly.

puff!

The ground was splattered with dark blood.

Chapter 230 - The Sound of the Wind Blowing

"Sakaki...Sakakibara-san."

Being held in Xia Mo's arms, his heart was beating violently.

"what happened?"

"you you....."

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but because of his disturbed heart, he couldn't sort out his thoughts.

Such a warm hug.

So happy.

Obviously just almost died in the hands of Mochizuki Yuya, but at this moment, Akazawa Izumi felt extremely at ease.

It's okay, nothing will happen.

This man will protect himself!

Thinking about it, Akazawa Izumi couldn't help laughing softly.

"Sakakihara-san."

"Ok?"

"Just now... Mochizuki-san, why did he become like that?"

Mochizuki Yuya didn't seem to be chasing after him, Xia Mo slowed down, he thought for a while and said, "Because he is the 'dead'."

"deceased?!"

Akazawa Izumi's pupils tightened slightly.

"Then... Sakakihara-san... are you a 'dead person' too?"

The atmosphere was somewhat silent.

Looking at the silent Xia Mo, Akazawa Izumi bit her lip lightly.

"It's okay, even if you are the 'dead', Sakakihara-san, I...I..."

"You are the countermeasure committee member in the class, right?"

"......Um."

"Then, you should be responsible to the people in the class."

Meeting Xia Mo's black eyes as deep as stars, Akazawa Izumi was stunned and nodded slightly.

"Well, I'm responsible for them..."

The fingers turned white, and the sharp nails pierced Akazawa Izumi's palm.

Just when the girl's body was trembling slightly, she wanted to continue talking with trembling voice.

"I'm not."

A ray of sunlight pierced through the dark clouds, fell and sprinkled on Akazawa Izumi's head.

Akazawa Izumi froze for a moment, her originally sad expression suddenly froze.

Gently holding Xia Mo's hand, Xia Mo's palm became a little warmer than before, Akazawa Izumi nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

"Sakakihara-san, you must not be the 'dead'!"

"So, who are the remaining 'dead'?"

In the classroom, Misaki Fujioka, who was biting a piece of bread, looked at Xia Mo and Akazawa Izumi behind her, and said curiously.

"Use the method of elimination."

The classroom in the evening, under the dim lights, looked a little gloomy.

Playing with the fruit knife Sakuragi Yukari was holding to kill herself, Xia Mo looked at Fujioka Misaki and Akazawa Izumi: "Every powerful evil spirit seems to be confined to a specific area."

"The cafe before that was one, Mochizuki Yuya's 'sister' shouldn't be able to leave the cafe."

"Otherwise, there would be no need to ask Mochizuki Yuya to lure prey."

"So, do you want to stay together for the next time?"

Fujioka Misaki looked at Akazawa Izumi: "She came earlier than me, so she should know which places are safer."

Still at a loss, Akazawa Izumi, who was hiding behind Xia Mo, pursed her lips.
