Zongman started from grabbing girls with Wuhe Shidao

"Nothing... I just feel that it's really you, Shidou---" Lin Mu said with a smile.

As soon as the voice fell, Kuang San in his mind continued to say: "However, I don't recommend you to do this. His personality is unpredictable, so it's okay to be a good guy like Wu He, but it's not good to drag Lin Mujun down. "

"..." Shidao's face darkened again, and the couple joined forces to bully him...

"Tch, what, even if it is..." Shidou stopped in the middle of his words.The reason is simple.Because in the front of the line of sight──a strange visitor appeared beside Kotori who was playing alone in the park.

"Something" whose age, gender, and body type are unknown.

However, that is also a matter of course.Because "that thing" seems to hide the information on the surface, covering something like noise.

──【Phantom】, turning Kotori, Miku, and Origami into elves.

And now, he appeared in front of Kotori.

"..." Seeing his posture, Shidou felt a tingling sensation on his skin, because Shidou's mind recalled Kotori's painful expression when he became a spirit [Blaze Demon]---

As for Lin Mu, his eyes widened even more --- this was the first time he saw a [Phantom]...or in other words, it was the first time he saw a Phantom with the identity of recognizing the other party as a [Phantom]. Strictly speaking, Said, this is the second time I saw it --- because the first time, it was when Tiangong City was facing the crisis of seven satellites falling... It was [Phantom]...helped me?

Lin Mu felt a little messed up.

"Lin Mu-jun? Are you okay?" Kuang San's voice sounded from his mind at the right time.

"Ah... I'm fine." Lin Mu took a deep breath, indicating that he was fine, and at the same time grabbed Shidou's wrist with one hand: "Shidou, don't worry, at least, you can't stop Kotori's elf transformation---"

"Ok, I know."

Shidou breathed out a long breath to keep calm, and folded his arms to restrain his trembling body.His nails dug into his upper arm, slightly oozing blood.He couldn't stop Kotori from becoming an elf --- both Lin Mu and he knew this.

... ...

From the perspective of Lin Mu and Shidou.

──【Phantom】After talking to Kotori for a few words, he took out something that looked like a ruby ​​and gave it to Kotori.

Then, the moment Kotori touched the jewel, a faint light was emitted from her body.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...!"At the same time, violent heat waves rolled up around her, and a vortex of flames stood upright.

"..." Lin Mu shrank his pupils slightly, clenched his fists, and his veins bulged slightly... If it wasn't for the reason in his heart and because [Phantom] helped him before---he would definitely rush out to give this mosaic Gouyu of Yasaka!

And Shidou was not much better than Lin Mu, he held his breath after lowering his posture, couldn't bear to see Kotori's painful appearance, and closed his eyes---

Immediately, a heat wave hit, and after a while, the heat wave disappeared.

Shidou opened his eyes tremblingly, and saw Kotori's figure.She was wearing a spiritual attire that looked like a kimono.

That's right──Kotori has become a fire spirit [Balrog].

"Kotori... sorry." Shidou murmured bitterly, then revealed a sharp gaze.

Lin Mu also took a few deep breaths, suppressing the urge to kill the mosaic in his heart---

At this time, Shidou first glanced at the trees with weak hands on the ground, and then seemed to have made up his mind.

"Xiao Mu, wait for me for a while---"

"Huh?" Lin Mu looked at Shidao suspiciously, but Shidao got up and rushed towards the direction where [Phantom] left---

"Shidao!" Lin Mu was startled, and called Shidao's name, trying to get up and chase after him, but he was so sore that he couldn't stand up ---

"That guy!" Lin Mu gritted his teeth---Of course, Lin Mu could guess why Shidao rushed over alone, it was simply because they didn't know the temper of [Phantom], and it would be dangerous to contact rashly. And Lin Mu's physical condition at the moment is extremely poor---Shidou decided to face it alone...

On the other side, Shidou rushed behind [Phantom] who was some distance away from the park.

"──Hey!" Shidou yelled loudly.

"...Huh──?" Then, <Phantom> heard a distorted voice that could not be distinguished as male or female.

At this time, the blurred mosaic silhouette standing in the field of vision seemed to move slightly.

From the looks of it, 【Phantom】 seemed to turn his neck and turn his gaze to Shidou.

Shidou cooperated with his movements, let out a long breath, and stared fiercely at the part of [Phantom] that was equivalent to his face.

"Hi, I've wanted to see you for a long time──【Phantom】." Then he called out the name of Noise in front of him in a calm voice.

There is no irony or other meaning in this sentence, Shidou really wants to meet this [Phantom] once --- from knowing that this monster can perform [Turning Humans into Spirits] like no one else, it is beyond common sense. When the power of the absurd--

This is---the culprit who turned Kotori, Miku, and Origami into spirits and spread chaos and destruction to the world.

However, [Phantom] responded to Shidou's words, which surprised him.

"Ah?" [Phantom] made a small voice, shaking his body slightly.

Of course, <Phantom>'s body was still shrouded in noise.From Shidou's eyes, he could only see the distorted space in the shape of a mosaic shaking.

"...No way──you...why, are you...made by a spirit...no, it's the [Twelve Bullet] of [Emperor Keke]?"

"...What?" Seeing [Phantom]'s unexpected reaction, Shidou showed a puzzled expression.

"Do you know me……?"

"..."

[Phantom] Answered Shidou's question with silence.However, he didn't seem to be ignoring Shidou's question or not giving unnecessary information──but he was speechless in a daze.

This made Shidou even more confused about the situation, and frowned.

The unrestrained [phantom] in his imagination and the behavior of the "something" standing in front of his eyes are so far apart that Shidou even wonders if the noise spreading in his field of vision is completely different. exist.

"..." [Phantom] moved his body covered by the noise, he seemed to be sighing, and then fled away as if gliding on the ground.

Vaguely, Shidou heard a sentence---

"[Ling] really assigned me a troublesome task..."

But Shidou didn't care about that sentence, what he cared more about was the figure of 【Phantom】 running away!

Seeing this---Shidou reflexively ran after <Phantom>.

At the same time, Shidou glanced at Kotori who was slumped in the park.

After the young girl got the power of unknown origin, she kept calling "Brother Xiaomu, brother---where are you?" as if she was asking for help.

"...Hmmm──" Seeing this scene, Shidou's heart felt constricted for a while, but he soon breathed a sigh of relief, because he saw Lin Mu staggering out from the grass where they hid before , to Kotori---

Only then did Shidou feel at ease and continue to chase 【Phantom】
