Kurando proudly made an evil smile

And then, laughter escapes from his throat

When Kurando irin

That night, just before the kiss, Akari had whispered to Kurando that she would be i priesthood after the Trial of Truth ended

With each country’spresent, there is no way the United Kingdom of Erurodoriana can overturn the verdict

Akari had anticipated on this

Although, that wasn’t her only objective

She had also expected that Hayato would be there at the chapel Anyhow, that guy is well-known to want to carry the burdens of all his classmate, without fail

And thus, his idiocy would be exposed right in front of the representatives from each country

As Kurando thought this, his facial muscles relaxed

About what Akari had said, an oldto her, 「how about entering priesthood」

For Akari to say it was her idea, as Kurando thought this, it only furthered his good mood

「Kukuku, uwhahahaha」 (Kurando)

Yukishi+ro, atched as Kurando broke out into an eerie laughter, showed an expression that see with the current state of affairs

On occasion, its partner’s personality would worsen

Because the person seeive up

No matter how one looks at it, the current Kurando is a complete evil villain

Presently, Kurando and Yukishi+ro are ca by the forest

The evening sun was in the process of setting

「――shall we get going?」 (Kurando)

Having finished laughing, Kurando calls out to Yukishi+ro

For Kurando and Yukishi+ro, how dark it was at night was irrelevant If anything, it was more convenient as they would attract less attention

Kurando had abandoned the white phantoo on a journey

When they were discussing it, surprisingly, Yukishi+ro did not dislike the idea

The monsters had caused the forest life to die out There was no longer game to hunt If there is no prey, territory by itself is less

Not to one, people are bound to venture into the mountains The situation is quite sad if one thinks about it

Anyhow, Yukishi+ro wasobard with Kurando’s suggestion

As for Kurando’s identity, his dog tag is proof that he is a hunter and the iteiven him could also serve as his backup identification

And as for Yukishi+ro, the illusion autonouised it as a black panther

Now that all the conditions have been met for their journey, next, he merely needs to secure a place to live

As they prepared to departure frouard and then scowls at the dark spot

Yukishi+ro’s growl elevates and it bares its fangs, power accus

「……troublesoical beast」 (???)

Froure appeared

A girl with a pair of black rabbit ears, as clothed in black, stood there

In each hand, she held a knife

「If I recall…… are you not one of Hayato’s party member? Why are you here…… you’re probably not here to talk, I assume?」 (Kurando)

Kurando puts down his luggage, draws the kukri katana from his side, fastens his shi+eld and took out his notebook

「……for Hayato’s sake, die」 (???)

In the silent darkness; Kurando, Yukishi+ro, and the black rabbit beasted in combat――

――Zap

A red lightning cuts through the darkness and directly hits Kurando and Yukishi+ro

「――for Hayato’s sake, die!」 (???)

Erica got down froap in between the trees

The scarlet red static electricity eh the darkness

(Black Rabbit Beastwoman’s perspective)

Showing a cold expression, the black rabbit beast had fallen

Even if that man doesn’t have his ability, the person is still a hero

Erica is also a hero, so her power should be that person’s equal

The black rabbit beastlanced at Erica

Erica is slightly overexcited, his face is flushed, and he is breathing heavily

That can’t be helped

The person has killed someone from their home world Besides, I’ people But overall, it ell and our perforood

Erica who never disobeyed Hayato, he never thought to rely on e a battle

I wasn’t particularly close with Erica; Hayato was the center that tied us together, that

was all

And thus, they ended up depending on one another

While thinking this, the black rabbit beastirl noticed that she herself had made a faint smile

After that day, 4 days passed

When that girl called Akari was found, Hayato see

To be accurate, after he had entered the cave with that unknownat so in the distance

The black rabbit beastirl motionlessly watched Hayato from the shadows

“What can I do for Hayato”, she thought

「Kuu (クー), do you have a moment?」 (Erica)

At that time, Erica called out to her

The na she had received from Hayato

Kuu nods and then accompanied Erica

「By no means should you tell anyone ill be said here, and I mean absolutely none!」 (Erica)

Erica said this to Kuu with a serious expression

Kuu was unaware that Erica was always fawning over Hayato

While being slightly surprised by how serious Erica was acting, Kuu gave her usual calm nod

「Well, you probably wouldn’t but, by no ood」 (Erica)

And thus, Erica told her about Hayato’s connection with that janitor man

“Why did Erica tell this to ht

Because Hayato himself had already decided to leave the matter aside, it would not have done much for Erica to consult Kaeda or Fon

In the first place, they didn’t trust Arisu Erica and Kuu believed that the person who had perfor, Arisu, was an Arubaumu (アルバウム) spy

「That is how it is What do you think we should do?」 (Erica)

Although Kuu is a girl, she who knew of a person’s oes on behind the scene

Likewise, she was raised to kill by an assassin organization

Erica who couldn’t think of anything had decided to consult the matter with Kuu

「……must, kill」 (Kuu)

Erica catches his breath

「Th, that is a bit……」 (Erica)

There was no hesitation in Kuu’s red colored eyes

「……he, can bring harm to Hayato……, that’s possible…… he can be used to, Hayato’s downfall…… unpleasant Fellow hero, no exceptions, his…… existence, Hayato’s…… obstacle」 (Kuu)

「Kuu, what do you think about Hayato having stolen the power?」 (Erica)

「……nothing at all」 (Kuu)

「Nothing, you don’t conde it?」 (Erica)

「……Hayato, saved Kuu Not……, that other man」 (Kuu)

Erica thought about it

「……you’re right When I was cheated, Hayato was the one who saved uy」 (Erica)

「……Kuu, will Erica, not…… necessary」 (Kuu)

Erica quietly stared at Kuu

「……I’ for Hayato At that time, I had already decided on that」 (Erica)

The two nod

If it is for Hayato’s sake, they illing to play the role of a villain

While being intoxicated with such feelings, in addition to nervousness, it distracted Erica frouilty

The dust cloud created fro starts to clear away

Suddenly in the darkness, so jumps out from the dust

Erica instantly puts up his shi+eld

The shi+eld co object

“Don’t endure it, deflect it, that ”

Erica recalled what Hayato had said

In desperation, he tries to negate the iround with his boots of scarlet lightning, letting the force slide off to the side

Yukishi+ro had leaped through the dust cloud; while having coated itself in earth & ice, Yukishi+ro flew passed Erica as clad in his 『divine blessing』, 『Twilight Boots (朱雷のブーツ, トワイライトブーツ, boots of scarlet lightning)』

「You!」 (Erica)

The attack was not a failure as the ih Erica’s shoulder

However, the shi+eldthat it wasn’t just for show

Erica looked over his shoulder

Erica having his stance broken and his back exposed, Yukishi+ro scowls at him from behind

For Yukishi+ro, lightning is regarded as an enemy

It could not forget the day its parent was defeated

Whenever it sees lightning or lightning being used, it would feel deep sorrow and becoitated

However, Yukishi+ro didn’t hold a grudge

Those who are weak die

That is the sort of world that Yukishi+ro lives in

If it did have resentment, it would be towards Akari and Makushi+mu

Towards Akari, such feeling did not surface because she appears weak

But, in Makushi+ was different

At the ht of him, Yukishi+ro’s fur would stand on ends

However, even then, there was no hate

The person’s strength ht even

even exceed its birth parent’s

When thinking of it that way, such feeling could almost not be suppressed

And compared to then, its present self is still no , that was all

――however, lightning is a different matter

That sound it hears, that light it sees, Yukishi+ro found it to be irritating and enraging

Kurando had noticed this and thus he didn’tit no

Nevertheless, Yukishi+ro couldn’t sto in its direction

Yukishi+ro glared at Erica, who had turned around

――Gurrroooh

Come, it beckons

Yukishi+ro gave a provoking howl

In anger, Erica kicks the ground with his 『Twilight Boots』and springs toward Yukishi+ro at high-speed

Fro struck, Kurando stood up

「Uhh, unbelievable, that divine blessing bastard」 (Kurando)

Despite the degree of the lightning strike, there wasn’t a single wound on Kurando

As he had thought, divine blessings have no effect on other summoned people

Clashi+ng, Kurando turns to look in the direct of noise There he saw Erica and Yukishi+ro facing off

Froht to entrust Erica to Yukishi+ro as it had a strange fixation on lightning Although affinity wise, Kurando should have dealt with it but he chooses to let Yukishi+ro do as it pleased

Above all, Kurando needed to focus on his own situation

The darkness spreads in front of him

Before his eyes, only darkness is reflected

Kurando tries firing off soht spirits

For a split second, he was able to see the trees through the darkness; however, the light spirits were immediately painted over with black

After seeing this vicious cycle repeating, he gave up on trying to use light spirit ic

As it is night-ti some proved difficult

Next, he tried searching through the darkness

This too had no results

Apparently, the opposing party is a dark spirit user

Although Kurando can’t see, the opposing party probably could

Yukishi+ro never had to worry about the darkness As for Erica, the electro fros And the assassin who is able to melt into the darkness, naturally, she wasn’t hindered by it

「How did this happen?」 (Kurando)

Kurando grieves at the fact that he is being targeted by an assassin
