How did the good of order become the confidant of the villain? !

In a sewer somewhere in Tokyo, Amamiya Tsui, who was wearing a dark high □□□suit, put one hand on the long knife-shaped magic tool at her waist, pressed her nose slightly, tried her best to ignore the rotten smell in the air, and walked over a Tantan sewage, and the knotweed Youren proceeded cautiously.

They were notified by the "window" to investigate the recent frequent disappearances in this area.

The filth of the mantra is intermittent and vague, extending here through the entrance of the sewer, like a road sign left deliberately, which makes people raise their vigilance.

On the way, except for a few low-level curse spirits that were born recently, in order to ease the tense atmosphere, the two people who were already familiar with each other talked a few words from time to time, most of which were knotweed answering the doubts of the new rookie Yu Gongcui.

"...Why don't you act with Fu Hei and the others?"

The pink-haired boy scratched the back of his head embarrassingly, "Actually, I died once in a previous mission, but I came back to life for some reason! So the identity of the deceased is not convenient to act on the bright side. I can only follow the arrangement of Wutiao teacher and practice while avoiding people's eyes and ears."

As he was talking, the knotweed, who had discovered the doubt, shifted the topic to his companion, and doubts appeared on his energetic face.

"But Amamiya, if you enroll through the normal way, there is no reason why you will be assigned with me?"

Yu Gongcui suddenly became aware of her identity as a black household, and guessed that it might be a compromise between Gojo Satoru who wanted to put himself in the surveillance range and worried that the school's intervention would bring about changes. Hearing the words, he gave a vague explanation of.

"It's more convenient to do things that way."

No matter when and where the phantoms who are responsible for the investigation of clues in a certain area discover clues, he can rush there immediately without filing a report, which is relatively free.

In fact, within a short week of joining the high school, with the first-hand information conveyed by the "window" through Gojo Satoru, Amamiya Cui had already encountered followers from the opposite camp.

Not Shuten-douji and Kiyohime before, but other ghosts in folklore——

They call themselves "Ibaraki Doji" and "Momiji" respectively.

At that time, the other party was entangled with a super-level curse spirit in a big way, and after a few words from Yu Gongcui, he noticed it and retreated vigilantly.

They don't seem to be aware of the existence of the opposite seeker, or are they focusing on the curse spirit, unwilling to conflict with Atsushi Nakajima and others who are fellow followers, and disappear from the battlefield in the form of spirit sons, leaving no trace. Follow up any clues.

If things go on like this, I don't know how long it will take to discover the true face of the mastermind behind the scenes... It seems that it is necessary to let Dover take action next time, and use the "line" manipulation ability to leave one or two people to ask.

The divergent thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and the sound of extremely approaching footsteps came from the dark front.

Amamiya Tsui and Knotabagi Yuhito looked at each other, raised their vigilance to the highest level, and put on a defensive posture. In the next second, a young man in a T-shirt and trousers rushed out from the front, and was confronting the two of them. After looking up, he unconsciously froze for a moment, and blurted out a question in astonishment.

"Why are you here?!"

"Yoshino-san."

Amamiya Tsui did not let go of the long knife in her hand, but squinted her eyes to look at Yoshino Junpei who appeared quite abruptly, and asked calmly.

"I should be the one to ask this question. Normally speaking, the destination of high school students skipping classes should not be the sewer."

The latter opened his lips to explain something, but when he heard the strange movement behind him, he dismissed the idea, hurried forward two steps, and motioned for the two to follow him to leave in a panic.

"It's dangerous here," he said, stumbling, "There's, there's—"

A humanoid monster with distorted proportions landed on all fours and rushed out from the depths of the sewer, with disgusting mucus flowing from the corner of its mouth.Amamiya Tsui and Knotabagi Yuhito, who were ready to go, greeted them at the same time. During the battle, they found that this monster did not pose much threat. It was probably equivalent to the strength of a second-level spell spirit. It took a little time to kill it. fell to the ground.

However, what is puzzling is that the exorcised monster did not blow up into a cloud of smoke like the previously eliminated curse spirit, but left a slightly twitching and complete corpse.

"strangeness……"

Knotaba Yuhito muttered in a low voice, tentatively touched the gradually cooling corpse with the tip of his toe.Yoshino Junpei, who saw the crisis resolved, poked his head out from behind him, and carefully explained.

"That's not a pure curse, it's a transformed human being."

"The soul has been destroyed by the spell, and there is no possibility of healing." His eyes were rather complicated. "For a guy like this, death may be a relief."

The atmosphere became oppressive and heavy, and the knotweed stared blankly at his hand, and slowly pursed his lips.

—is a human being.

It has only been a few weeks since she first came into contact with the magic world, and Yu Gongcui has no real sense of what the curse does.I have always only taken exorcising the curse spirit as a matter of course, like removing pests for a garden, without any emotional work, but at this moment, the tragedy that happened in front of me made my emotions tremble, and at the same time quietly modified part of my cognition .

He took a deep breath, did not ask how Yoshino Junpei knew, but asked in a low voice, "Where is the curse spirit who did such a thing?"

The latter subconsciously cast his gaze deep into the sewer, and then retracted his gaze immediately, letting his long bangs cover his expression.

Knowing that, Amamiya Tsui turned her head to look at the depressed Knotabagi Yujin beside her, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

"Take Yoshino-san back and meet 'window'. I'll go ahead and check the situation, and I'll be right back."

"no!"

Knotweed hurriedly vetoed, "It would be dangerous for you alone, let's send him to the ground together, and come back to explore together—"

Yu Gongcui raised her index finger, smiled and gestured for silence.

"Don't worry, Knotweed. Of course I know it will be dangerous, and you also know that I am not a reckless person, right? Don't worry, I naturally have my cards."

After staring at each other for several seconds, the pink-haired boy finally chose to trust his companion, and nodded hesitantly.

"Then be careful, don't go too deep."

After a simple instruction, he involuntarily picked up Yoshino Junpei, who was unable to react in time, and rushed towards the way he came.

Watching her companion's back gradually disappearing into the darkness, Yu Gongcui didn't hesitate anymore and clapped her hands gently.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Dun-jun."

The golden spirits gathered around him, turning into a young man in a long white windbreaker, and in the blink of an eye, turning into a huge white tiger.It grabbed Yu Gongcui's collar and threw him on his back, then spread his limbs, and rushed into the darkness in front of him swiftly and soundlessly.

As the wind blew past his ears, he bent down and grasped the soft short hair on the white tiger's shoulder blades.

The sound of fighting and roaring from the front could already be heard, and it seemed that a small part of it had collapsed, and the stones fell to the ground with a bang.Atsushi Nakajima slammed on the brakes on the edge of the battlefield, Amamiya Tsui turned over and jumped down, looking at the situation with the faint light above her head.

The attacking side was two phantoms, one of whom he had seen before was Ibaraki Doji who was first born with two horns.The other person is wearing a red cloak decorated with down feathers, with short ear-length hair and extremely bright red eyes. She is obviously a little girl with a round face, but she is swinging a sword as long as herself in a dignified manner. , constantly pushing back the curse on the opposite side.

However, the blue-haired young man, who was pressed by the two servants step by step and was full of dangers, still seemed to be in high spirits. He kept spitting out finger-sized dolls from his mouth, turning into the monster Yu Gongcui had seen before, holding the enemy's footsteps, waiting for an opportunity Fight back.

After just a cursory scan, he noticed that there were dozens of corpses of modified humans scattered all over the pitted area.

Yu Gongcui's eyes became darker and darker.

Noticing the curse of the uninvited guest here, his pupils shrank, and he sighed with regret.

"Oh, here comes another one~ Then I can't play with you guys?"

"Don't try to escape!"

Ibaraki Doji yelled angrily, his friend's hand suddenly left his torso, and with boundless enthusiasm, he grabbed the curse that retreated rapidly, "[Rashomon Great Resentment]!!"

The young man with seam marks on his face laughed loudly, not caring about the carbonized scorching marks on his body: "It's useless, as long as you maintain the shape of your soul, you won't die if you get chopped into pieces by the little sister over there. You won't die if you burn a part of it! Since you have no new tricks, goodbye?"

The speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to catch, the ghost-like white tiger quietly appeared behind him, slamming its paws fiercely.Curse dodged with bated breath, barely escaping at the expense of an arm, murmuring thoughtfully between gasps.

"It's so strange. According to the information I received, there should be an antagonistic relationship between the two batches of super imaginary spell spirits."

Yu Gongcui held the long knife horizontally in front of her body, and answered calmly amidst the crackling sound of burning flames.

"Since there is a common enemy, those can be shelved."

The young man with long hair looked at him sideways, with a smile on his lips, but his eyes were full of undisguised malice.

"It's just a mere human... It's decided, let's kill you first!"

Even though he was besieged and killed by three phantoms, he planned to run away before, but now he utters such wild words in front of Dun, he is quite confident.

Yu Gongcui raised his vigilance, staring at the curse that was tossing and turning between the flames and the light of the knife, and at the same time as making a gesture, he was also ready to summon another servant to come out to save the scene.

The curse spirit released all the remaining puppets in one breath to confuse the sight, and took advantage of the chaos to rush towards Yu Gongcui.The latter has long passed the stage where he would be afraid of such a scene, lowered his posture calmly, and the sharp long knife of the magic tool was like a flap, silently slashing towards the curse that entered the attack range——

One second before the blade came into contact with the palm, the blue-haired youth was kicked hard in the face by the knotweed Yuren who jumped out from behind Amamiya Tsui, and the whole person was caught off guard and flew out, throwing up heavy smoke and dust in the rubble !

"It's dangerous! It's dangerous!"

The hero who saved the beauty let out a long breath, wiped the cold sweat off his brow, turned his head and asked, "Are you alright?"

"..."

Amamiya Cui, whose eyes were fixed on the smoke, just wanted to answer, but suddenly frowned, took two hasty steps, and after confirming a disappointing fact, sighed softly.

"He escaped."

Ibaraki-douji, who also discovered this, cursed unwillingly, and after being angry for a while, he gave Amamiya Tsui a look of charity.

"It's not bad to be able to distinguish between priorities. Remember, curses are such dirty things that must be eliminated first no matter when and where!"

Amamiya Tsui ignored Knotabagi Yuhito who made a doubtful voice of "Who is this?", and calmly denied the other party's statement.

"However, the falling of the 'tent' and the publicization of supernatural power will only encourage the breeding of the curse, and blindly expelling it is not the answer. Please be sure to tell the master about this."

"It's so noisy!" Ibaraki Doji sneered, "Why pay attention to so many twists and turns, we just want to destroy the curse spirit!"

Yu Gongcui was silent.

This is also a situation of pre-guessing - the mastermind behind the scenes may not be unaware of the possible consequences, but he does not intend to make concessions because of this.As Ibaraki Doji said, he "just wants to destroy the magic spirit".

Knotabagi Yuhito on the side couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "Even if this will breed more curse spirits? This is too contradictory!"

indeed.

What was the motive that prompted the holder of the shard of the Holy Grail to make such a paranoid wish?

Yu Gongcui pursed her lips and fell into deep thought, knowing that she couldn't get any information from those two phantoms, so she let them fade away.At this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated slightly.

——An unfamiliar number sent a short message.
