Part I. Babylonian Entrances and Exits

Prologue Minako of the Tenth Man

The words ‘to be looked at’ had a special meaning for her.

This proves that she is a woman, and at the same time proves that she is a young and beautiful woman.

She is very confident in her face, body and dress. Usually, she never needs to hesitate when choosing clothes and she always wears them to their beauty.

She would change her makeup with her costume.

That was it, she really liked being looked at by men. Even if the other person was a demented fat middle-aged man, she didn’t care. Especially the jealous glances of the same sex were more soothing to her.

Because she longs to be seen.

She always wanted to feel the sight of someone.

So when the man said turn off the lights, Minako desperately shook her head.

The hotel room was a bit dim, but when their faces were close to each other, they could clearly see each other’s eyelashes, bit by bit, slowly revealing their own bodies to each other.

Her dorsal tendons jolted as he removed her shirt and the man skillfully snapped off the bra handle with his fingertips. Her skirt fell to the floor, and her emotions reached their peak when he helped her remove her panties along with her stockings.

The man’s lips pressed against the chest.

Though his long eyelashes were closed, Minako knew he hadn’t closed his eyes.

She could feel the sight of the man. He ran his tongue over her tender skin and his fingertips rubbed her lower body, which did make Minako feel good.

Look at me again.

Look at me some more.

Minako wouldn’t let him in as she climbed to her feet.

After accepting the man, she began to move on her own.

Look at me.

Watch and do as you go.

“Ah!”

Let out a moan.

I was being watched.

Crooked head, swaying bosoms, swinging waist, all being watched.

The man got up and Minako was pinned down. Grabbing her left ankle and lifting it up. The man skillfully reversed her body. Minako’s posture was like that of a wild animal. This time feeling the sight coming from behind. She couldn’t help but tremble as her back was licked.

Minako shook her ass as the man slapped her hips.

Come on!

The man was doing what Minako had in mind.

“Ah…no!”

Don’t stop, as she was about to say that, Minako felt as if something was pressing on her back.

So hot.

“Ahhhh!”

Unable to hold back a moan, the man’s hand grabbed Minako’s hair at the back. Pulling the hair upwards. The man hugged her from behind and reached forward to fondle her bosoms.

“Look!”

Minako obediently stared at the large mirror in front of her with wide open eyes.

She was being held from behind by the man who was violating her asshole eye.

“Watch it!”

As the man spoke, one of his hands that had been rubbing his breasts slid down between his thighs, touching Minako’s sensitive lower body.

He rubbed against it. At the same time the man began to twist his waist very irregularly.

“Ah! No!”

The man kept stimulating her. Her bosoms were being rubbed and her little cherries were being pinched.

She’s being watched right now. And being violated.

The whole body was violated. She looked in the mirror and watched herself being violated.

“Ahh, so, so good!”

When she noticed that no one was looking at her, suddenly there was darkness before her eyes.

The counter phone rang. It’s from room 408. It’s the room that a young man and woman booked 30 minutes ago. The lady at the counter raised her brightly colored nail polish fingers to scratch the back of her neck and picked up the phone impatiently.

“Hello counter!”

The voice of the older man came from the other end of the microphone, as if he was panicked, and she couldn’t quite make out what he was saying, it was fragmented, but eventually she got it.

The woman is gone.

Chapter 1: The Lizard’s Tail

Not wanting to go to the big bath of the cheap hotel, but having finished his shower in the small bathroom of the guest room, Mido Tatsuhiko changed into his yukata and was finally relieved to get some rest. It was now eleven o’clock at night.

Checked the rooms of the hotel where the incident took place and listened to the account of the man who was with the woman that night. Afterwards, he took a notice of investigation into the family and friends of Minako Kakiguchi.

It turns out that this event is just like any other.

No one knows the reason for her disappearance, and the man at the scene said, “She didn’t disappear, she vanished.” Minako Kakiguchi, like the other missing persons, disappeared without leaving any clues.

This has happened several times across Japan over the course of several weeks.

When he left Tokyo two weeks ago, there were seven cases he was responsible for. With the addition of Minako, who disappeared two days ago, this was the 10th case. It can be considered a big case.

Trying to solve the case, but not a clue. What the hell is going on?

Going to any scene, there were local police officers who came to assist, but he knew they were just sympathetic and couldn’t help him at all.

We all know he was made to feel bad about it. At the same time he became a celebrity because of it.

Returned to my room and lay down on my bed with the quilt spread out. Looking at the ceiling beams, lined up neatly. Mido had been pondering the events.

Same tactics. Those incidents were all the same maneuver.

Ten have happened in just four months. On average, one goes missing every two weeks. One by one, young girls are disappearing.

The OL in Togi was determined to be off duty, but did not return home. The college girl living in Oita even went to the student cafeteria for lunch, but then disappeared. The Hokkaido woman who helped the maid disappeared from the fitting room. There was also a middle school student from Shiga Prefecture who stood in front of a movie poster with some friends to view it after school, but only for a moment before it suddenly disappeared.

Such incidents continue to occur all over the country, but if there are no witnesses, they are regarded as isolated cases.

Eyewitness testimony.

An enigmatic man.

The man was witnessed in Fukui, Nagano and Aomori.

According to eyewitnesses, the victims in Fukui and Aomori were seen accompanied by such a figure the day before they disappeared. The Nagano victim, on the other hand, was seen accompanied by the enigmatic man a few minutes before her disappearance.

A man in a black jacket with long hair.

Without these testimonies, I’m afraid no one would have been able to connect the dots.

Mido has a baby face, looks small, but grows very tall, 180 centimeters tall. Anyway the physique and the face didn’t seem to be symmetrical. Right now he looked like a giant man in a small yukata.

Grabbing the gym bag that was sitting in the Japanese room, he took the toiletry bag out of it, which was still sealed with paper tape.

Aah! The paper glue actually popped open!

The paper glue that had stuck to my clothes had burrowed back into my bag without me realizing it.

What a great party.

Cakes, bouquets, congratulatory speeches, farewell parties, and of course, firecrackers. Colleagues celebrated Mido in a big way. Everyone knew he had been promoted.

But he was like a lizard caught by the enemy’s tail, and hurriedly cut off his tail and fled.

Anyway that’s what happened.

Humans without tails wouldn’t have needed to purposely make another tail for themselves.

At JR Kirinodo Station, where only a thousand or more passengers enter and exit every day in the winter, the automatic gate is very relaxing. Although many tourists come in summer to escape the heat, not many people come to ski in winter. No, the correct term is that no one comes at all.

Maple Leaf was conspicuously forlorn at that time of year.

So he slept at home today and came to the taxi stand in front of the station to try his luck, and he never thought he would be able to pick up a customer, so his luck was really good.

Hearing someone knocking on the broken glass window, he put down the book he was reading.

A petite schoolgirl stared at the driver’s seat. His grandson, who was going to middle school, was a good match for her. A large school bag was slung over her shoulder.

He opened the back door and the young girl got in.

She wore a pink shirt and thought the size seemed a little big. Maybe it was her dad’s. Those feet under the mini-skirt looked healthy, wearing a pair of knee-high socks, and they were thin and long.

The round eyes on the round face were bony.

“The Dream Palace Hotel on Misawa.”

“Dream Temple…that’s no ordinary restaurant!”

He looks back at the young girl and he tells her it’s a love hotel.

“You know what?”

“I know…”

The young woman smiled and he couldn’t help but think of his grandson.

What are grade school girls doing at a love hotel?

“You know that’s the kind of place where grown-ups are doing that kind of thing, and you’re sure you want to go to a place like that.”

“I know!”

“What are you doing there?”

“Work!”

Work!

Such a young maiden!

Go to the Love Hotel!

“Wait a minute! You can cherish yourself! Does the family know?”

“I have no family!”

“Whoa! What’s going on here!”

“Such a little maiden!”

“What’s the matter with you, old uncle?”

“It’s nothing. Can you get yourself over there…”

The young girl put her hand on the door as if to get out of the car.

“Wait a minute! Wait a minute! You’ll fall!”

He was nervous and the girl smiled at him with her teeth.

“I guess it’s you, old uncle, who will fall! What’s the matter? Are you not feeling well?”

“How old are you?”

“I?m 18 years and three months old.”

“Huh?”

“I’m supporting myself now. I’m a private investigator by trade.”

“Huh?”

“I’m going to investigate the recent spate of missing beauty queens!”

“Whoa?”

The driver’s mouth was so wide open that he couldn’t even close it, and Hatsuri Magic Bell looked at it with nothing but amusement.

Everyone has bad luck at times.

For example, when you want to take a train, you have your coins ready in your pocket, but when you put them into the ticket machine, the red light turns on. But when you put it into the ticket machine, a red light turns on, and you’ve mistaken 100 yen for 50 yen. I opened my wallet in a panic. Inside were all ten-dollar coins. I threw in five coins and finally bought a ticket. I walked quickly through the ticket gate and rushed to the tram I was going to take, but the door was closed.

Looking at the timetable, the next bus was not due for twenty minutes. I wanted to buy a newspaper because I was bored, but the store was outside the ticket gate. I tried to ask the station attendant to let me go out to buy a newspaper, but there was an extra train coming, so I rushed there with the change I found, but I was still too late.

And so it goes, bad luck after bad luck.

I tried to call to let them know that I would be late, but all the phones were coin-operated. I had to take out a ten-dollar plate and called the phone, but it was an answering machine. Since it was a long-distance call, the coins kept coming in, and when I tried to leave a message, I ran out of coins and the call was cut off.

Everyone’s touched something like this at one time or another!

That’s what happened to Mido now.

With no clues, before leaving, he wanted to visit the site one more time.

In fact, he was planning to rush back to Tokyo today and start writing the report. The next step, of course, was to go to a bookstore and buy a job-seeking information magazine.

One more visit to the site, and he knew it was a gamble on luck.

Mido exited the hotel and walked through the shopping street in front of the station to the taxi stand in front of JR Rounodo Station. The wooden facade of the station was white with a clock in the center. It was a cheap imitation of the Sapporo clock.

But not a single taxi stopped in front of the greeting station.

There was a police station in the station, and he could have actually asked the people in it to give him a ride to the scene. But he decided to wait for a cab anyway.

He was too famous. Curious and pitying looks, he’d had enough.

After three Marlboro cigarettes, the coffee shop in front of the station was open for business.

Mido chose a seat by the window and ordered a cup of coffee.

There’s a cab coming in.

The driver stopped the car and picked up the book. Gotou couldn’t help but laugh bitterly at the sight.

He was probably tired of driving and wanted to take a break, that’s why he stopped in front of this deserted station!

“Go!”

Mido said as he stood up, felt the pocket of his jacket, counted the coins, and it was less than thirty yen, so he had to open his wallet, and there were no thousand-yen bills in it either. He had no choice but to take out a ten thousand yen bill and hand it to the young waitress who was not wearing any makeup.

“Please wait!”

She said as she rushed out of the store. There was no money to be found I guess! She probably ran to the bank in front of the station to change money! Mido had to sit down and wait, lighting another cigarette.

It doesn’t matter. The driver’s still asleep. Look at him. He won’t move a muscle, and there’s no one else trying to catch a cab.

After about five minutes, the waitress came back. He was about to walk out of the store just as a young girl came out of the store and knocked on the door of the cab.

He had to walk to the police station.

Lean back in your chair and stretch.

He had worked at this police station for two and a half years. At that time he had dealt with nothing more than registering lost articles, returning them, asking travelers for directions, and dealing with quarrels. The biggest incident was a burglary that occurred during his second month on the job. A vending machine in a shopping mall was broken into and money was stolen, amounting to 9,790 yen. It was done by a college student who came here on a graduation trip and was drunk.

The incident at the Dream Palace Hotel a few days ago was indeed a big news story, but since it happened hundreds of meters away in Lin County, it was not under his jurisdiction.

It’s so boring.

A coworker is sleeping in the corner and won’t get up until he’s been allowed to sleep for an hour.

He wanted to.

Like past incidents, an inspector should have been sent by the Police Force.

It seems a bit unreasonable to put the criminal police in charge of everything.

The inspector opened his eyes and looked toward the door.

A man he didn’t recognize walked in.

So tall.

I think he’s about 180 centimeters tall! No, maybe 190 centimeters. But what surprised him more was his physique.

Even though he was just wearing a very plain shirt, you could feel that he was a very muscular man. And he was so steady and dignified on his feet. That face under the short hair but it showed very small.

It really wasn’t very symmetrical, but you could tell the man was usually very physically active.

The man walked over and reached for his pocket.

“Ah. Sorry!”

The man was about to walk over as he spoke, and the inspector couldn’t help but put his hand on the baton at his waist. What the man ended up taking out was a black notepad.

“I was sent by the Police Department, my last name is Mido. Can I trouble you to arrange a car for me?”

Ah, so that’s it.

Could this man be the tail of the legendary lizard?

“Ah, thanks!”

The car went along the mountain road. Magic Bell only stared at the buildings in front of him.

The Dream Palace Hotel is built into the hillside.

It was a late summer dusk. The sunlight slanted through the thick trees, reflecting a brighter green.

Magic Bell couldn’t help but wrinkle her nose.

You can smell the wind in the warm sun.

But she knew there was an unusual flavor in it.

“Can’t go wrong!”

Magic Bell whispered.

“It’s the same guy!”

“Is it the 10th one already? What exactly is his purpose…?”

The voice that answered Magic Bell’s words was also a young girl’s voice. But there was no one to see her, and the voice came from the pocket on Magic Bell’s right chest.

“No, it’s not allowed to come out! It’ll be seen!”

Magic Bell quickly pressed his hands against his pockets.

“Anyway, you’re not allowed to see the scene!”

“But Magic Bell, can you let me in?”

“This!”

“I guess not, because it’s a love hotel!”

“No!”

“Wouldn’t it be better to be straight with them?”

“No way! It may be all right to say that I am a policeman. To say I’m a detective might not be okay. Like that cab driver just now!”

“And the police can go in?”

“Maybe! There’s just such a big difference between the government and the private sector.”

“So be it!”

“Huh?”

“Look, here comes our public governmental power!”

Magic Bell looked back and saw a police car approaching.

“Who’s that?”

There’s a little head with dyed green hair poking out.

“Hey, get in there, you’ll be in trouble if you get caught later!”

“Aww, don’t squeeze me!”

Beauty was reluctantly hiding in the pocket of Magic Bell’s blouse.

Midori just said thank you and got out of the police car.

The inspector of the police station specially wakes up his sleeping colleague to ask him to watch the house, and he sends Mido here in good faith. But on the way, he asks Mido so many questions that it’s really tiresome.

The inspector’s question wasn’t malicious, but it was just annoying.

Are you really working alone? Did you find any clues? Could it be an abduction case? Do you believe there’s a missing person trafficking organization? Did you get the promotion to make things easier? How much money is available for the investigation? Rumor has it that you have more authority than the Commissioner, is that true? The culprit is a man, right? It’s questions like these.

“I’ll go back first then!”

Patrolman gave a salute, backed up his car and left. Mido couldn’t help but sigh as he looked at the departing police car.

Ugh, really.

Drape the sports backpack held in your hand over your shoulder.

Suddenly someone behind him called out to him.

“Morning!”

The voice was delicate.

It’s a young girl.

Looks like he’s only in the 5th or 6th grade, right? His height is only up to his chest. Has big round eyes.

“Are you a cop?”

“Ah~ Ah, yes!”

“Great, let me help you!”

“Huh?”

“You’re investigating serial disappearances, aren’t you? I’m in the middle of an investigation too.”

She said as she took her business card out of her pocket.

“Private Investigator-Hatsuri Magic Bell.”

It’s elementary school kids playing detective!

“Ah, young lady, thank you, it’s my job!”

“It’s my job too! Because it’s hard for folk to get involved, I’m working with you!”

“Work, it’s…”

“Minako Kakiguchi disappeared from this hotel, the 10th case in four months. All the missing people are women, and there are no clues. But a man in black was witnessed in Nagano, Fukui and Aomori.”

“Huh?”

“The OL in Togi didn’t come home from work. The woman in Hokkaido disappeared from the fitting room. The high school girl in Kanazawa disappeared from the restroom. That’s what I investigated!”

So that’s how it is, Midori thought.

“Would a weekly magazine write about such a thing? And why would this information leak out? There shouldn’t be anyone who knows about these things!”

“I don’t know.”

The young girl raised her thick eyebrows challengingly.

“All the missing people have one thing in common, have you noticed?”

“What?”

It shouldn’t be like this! I’ve had a thorough investigation of the missing persons as well. With the same incidents happening consecutively, surely all the victims would have something in common.

It’s the same this time. I’ve even checked those victims’ experiences, friendships, hobbies, places they’ve traveled in the past, blood types, birth dates. But there’s just no common denominator to be found.

How did this young girl find out?

What is it? Am I missing something?

“Yes?”

“Yes!”

“What is it?”

“I’m not telling you!”

“What’s the quid pro quo?”

“Well, work with me!”

Gotou couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.

“and a schoolboy~” “Sorry, I’m 18!”

“Huh?”

Midori’s entire body froze.

Tatsuhiko Mido.

Hatsuri Magic Bells.

This was the first meeting of the two, and so a long war began.

And that’s how the story begins.

Chapter 2: The Void Image in Black

Kiyoe looked into the darkness.

It is not the darkness of light being cut off, but the darkness that does exist. It is not denial, but the nothingness of the existence of denial.

Kiyoe was in absolute space.

Not only can you not see, you can’t hear anything. There was no feeling, no smell, not even evidence of feeling your physical presence.

I think therefore I am.

It is only certain that “she” is the only fact.

And not even time exists there.

The last thing she remembered was the sight of that man.

The heat of the man’s flesh could be felt under her ass. But Kiyoe no longer knew how long ago that memory was. It could have been seconds ago, or it could have been decades ago.

A presence appeared before her eyes. It could have been there all along, or it could have appeared out of nowhere.

It was black, black in the darkness.

It’s a human being. It’s a black man.

Has long black hair and wears a long black coat.

In all the darkness, only the face was white.

Very demure face.

Thin eyebrows, thin nose. A bit of blood color on the thin lips, and red eyeballs in the two slit-like eyes.

Closer.

No crepey face.

Smooth as ceramic, no visible pores.

A white hand reached out from the black coat and touched Kiyoe’s cheek. Kiyoe could feel it.

It wasn’t just a touch of skin, it was a sexual thrill.

“Ahhhh~” Kiyoe could hear Self letting out a joyful sound.

When his lips pressed, he could smell the hair and his tongue was as sweet as candy.

Yet the five senses are still not feeling it.

This man gives nothing but carnal response and delight.

The two men fell down. Not because their backs felt the sheet or the floor, but because the man was riding on top of them.

The man kissed from his cheek to his neck and back down again. Placing his hands on the biceps, he began to slowly rub them.

The sensation was sharp because of no such experience. She was very proud of her full and beautiful breasts, but felt that they were dull to sensation.

When his fingertips touched the small cherry, Kiyoe’s body went all hard. The brain was so hot.

Kiyoe’s plump flesh wriggled, responding keenly to the pleasure the man was giving.

The lower body seemed to break someone’s touch. Kiyoe closed her eyes to clear them, she was feeling it.

Die, Earth thought.

Though only the fingertips were felt, did the man enter and die.

Yet she didn’t die.

What came next was a pleasure that made her happier than death.

What to do? Midori thought. He knocked on the door and when no one answered, he had to just open the door and go in, never expecting to have a young girl come to his aid.

“Wow, it’s beautiful!”

Mido was still contemplating when the young girl exclaimed with joy. She took off her shoes and walked in.

“It’s really pretty. But this big mirror is so weird~”

Midori then took off her boots and went in as well. Magic Bell lay on her back, her feet rocking.

“Your turn next!”

“What?”

“What are you fuming about, you’re the one who brought me here, it’s your turn again.”

“Ah, yes, the common denominator!”

Devil’s Bell rolls over and lifts her upper body.

“This venue is a key. You should notice that the 10th piece is also at the Love Hotel.”

“Huh?”

“All of them, including the young girl who disappeared here, were having sex before they disappeared.”

“What?”

The missing people are all vanished after having sex, and Magic Bell says that’s the common denominator.

“Wait a minute. What about the state student after school? Isn’t she in class?”

“After school, the place mentions the gym room, she’s the day student! The sex was with a student in the same grade. They come home from school together, go to clubs together. ol is in the conference room with her married boss, want to know more?”

“There is no evidence of this.”

“You’re so stupid, what would those guys of theirs do when they meet?”

“That~”

“Like that junior high school student, Keiko Tajima, everyone knows she has a boyfriend. Someone saw the two of them coming out of the sporting goods room. ol Kiyoe Sakashita, I was asking my coworkers who were working overtime that day, and they said that she had been away from the table for half an hour. Later the guards said she was seen walking back with her boss, saying she forgot something, and Maki Imano, who disappeared from the fitting room, she was traveling with a boy she met at the phone dating center, as were the others.”

So, it seems that this is more than just speculation.

Seeing how serious this young girl was, Gotou found it funny.

“And what does that have to do with the incident?”

“That’s not the only thing.”

“Whoo!”

“Look at this!”

Magic Bell took a notebook from her purse on the floor and spread it out on the bed.

“What are you up to?”

Mido leaned forward to see the names of people listed densely on it.

All names of missing persons.

The Keiko Tajima 14 years old Aquarius (1/31) Left her classmates at the end of the school day / Shiga

The Kiyoe Sakashita 23 years old Pisces (3/19) Did not leave the company / Togi

The Maki Imano 20 years old, Aries (4/9) Disappeared in the fitting room / Hokkaido

The Naoko Aoki, 19, Scorpio (12/23), last seen in the school cafeteria, then disappeared/Oita.

The Suga Miyuki, 29, Scorpio (10/30) Leaving her friend’s sight at the station／Fukui

The Kyoko Shimura, 21, Virgo (9/19) Went to the restroom at the movie theater and didn’t come back / Nagano

The Tomoko Kuribayashi 16 years old Libra (9/14) Missing from her house/Aomori

The Numie Tsuda, 31, Leo (8/2) Took a taxi and disappeared after arriving at her destination/Kochi

The Shoko Niikura, 21, Sagittarius (11/25) Disappeared in the restroom of a KTV box/Okinawa

In the notes, Mido knew certain things.

Mido is tempted to hurry back and hand in his resignation.

“Hmm? See?”

That young girl’s tone was full of smugness.

In fact, when Mido tried to go back to the scene this morning to see it again, he thought there must be something inside. Still, he couldn’t figure out what it was, but he couldn’t imagine that a little girl would recognize it first.

“And?”

Gotou wasn’t trying to hide the unpleasantness inside.

“The second common denominator ~ can’t you see the killer’s intentions?”

“Are you saying this is an abduction?”

“Come on! Is this how you cops do things?”

“Thank you for the compliment!”

“You think this is just a random incident?”

“You can’t jump to conclusions without evidence.”

“Good, then look, the clues are clear enough.”

Of course Mido knew what it was.

“It’s a constellation!”

“Bingo!”

Usually, when the police search a person, they only investigate the age, sex, and occupation of the person they are searching, but they never pay attention to what his or her horoscope is. This young girl, who claimed to be a private detective, seemed to see something in it.

“Everyone’s sign is different~”

“That’s right! Minako Kakiguchi, who disappeared from this hotel, was born on July 2nd and is a Cancer. Except for Taurus and Gemini. These ten people all have different signs?”

“It’s only by chance, but it’s certainly interesting. But it’s too far-fetched to insist that it’s interesting, isn’t it?”

“By chance?”

“Well, that’s just it, nothing special.”

“That’s because you don’t have enough information.”

“What did you say?”

“I know some common sense that you don’t. So I can see things you can’t.”

“What did you say?”

“…”

The young girl didn’t say anything, just raised her eyebrows.

“Hey!”

“Shh~”

The young girl told him to be quiet. Eyes on the laptop.

Humming from his nose.

Flavor?

It’s something.

Gotou followed her lead, only to find the room smelling of aromatics.

The young girl closed her eyes.

Suddenly she jumped up and threw a pillow at the mirror, and at some point she had a small round object in her hand.

It was a sticky label with the word “Forbidden” written in the center. Magic Bell peeled the lining away with her teeth and stuck it to the mirror.

Greenish-white sparks emanated from the tag around the entire mirror.

“Yeah!”

“I’ve had my eye on you for a long time, come on out!”

“Hahaha!”

Staying on the sidelines, Midori only heard a low chuckle.

Looking around there was no one.

“Over here!”

He looked over with the sound of the magic bell.

There was actually a man in the mirror.

The man in the mirror wore a long black coat that appeared to be leather. Black gloves on both hands. Long dark hair and a face with good white skin.

The man laughed, his voice so high-pitched.

“You’re the killer?”

The man’s eyes moved, and Midori felt his orbs were red.

The thin lips were grinning like they were coated in blood. It made people feel uncomfortable.

“You’re Detective Mido. Yes, I did all these things.”

“You know me?”

“You? Of course I recognize you, you’re so pathetic for what happened to me. It’s too much to ask you to carry such a big responsibility alone.”

“Now that I’ve found you, I won’t let you escape.”

“Trying to catch me, no way!”

“Yes!”

Magic Bell said.

“Ordinary people can’t touch him.”

“Hmph, I don’t believe it.”

After saying that, Mido drew his gun and pointed it at the mirror.

“Come out or don’t blame me.”

“Please, it’s okay!”

“You!”

Mido was about to blow a gasket.

“I’m gonna shoot!”

“Please!”

“No!”

Magic Bell yelled, but it was too late.

Midori missed the man. The mirror broke, splashing mercury and glass shards onto the bed.

The man is gone. There’s no one in the mirror.

“This!”

“Stupid!”

“I think so.”

The man stood on the other side of the room. The temperature in the room was in the midst of a sharp drop.

“Thanks! No, anyway, I’m protected by a knot.”

“You~”

Mido gasps for air with his gun, his face white.

“It’s no use, Uncle, this guy isn’t human.”

“Hahaha, that’s rude, I’m a Taoist!”

“I don’t recognize it!”

“Ugh, this is pathetic!”

“People like you who use magic, I despise.”

“Wow, so that’s it!”

“You~”

The Magic Bell moved faster.

She slid her right hand behind her back and removed something from her blouse.

It’s a gun.

It’s about 40 centimeters long! Shiny black, reminiscent of a laser gun.

It’s oddly shaped like a shooting competition GSP type, but it’s actually different.

What kind of gun is this?

The young girl maneuvered the handle and aimed the gun at the man.

The man smiled. The magic bell smiled back.

Just for a moment.

Bang!

Only a flash of light exploded from the man’s chest.

“Whoo!”

The man groaned as his body flew out and hit the wall behind him.

Mido knew immediately what kind of gun it was.

But what was that flash of light, so powerful that it could eject a person?

The man stood leaning against the wall. Blood was flowing from the corner of his lips.

“See. Ogisan!”

The man called Ogisan just laughed, a miserable laugh.

“I was negligent.”

“I will never spare you.”

“I will never be negligent again!”

Bang!

At the same time as the launch, the man began to move.

There was a flash of light and the ceiling exploded.

“Ah!”

“Seems like too much fun. I’m going to bow out.”

When he finished, the man stepped backward.

“I’ll play with you next time, Magic Bell!”

With that said the man dove into the wall and disappeared.

“Ojisan! Tell me your name!”

“That would be rude!”

The man laughed, his body already halfway into the wall.

“My name is Saint Ruoxi ~ Saint Ruoxi Barking Man!”

Like sinking into water, the man’s face disappeared.

“Really, why!”

The young girl tapped the ground with the barrel of her gun as Mido just stood frozen.

That’s what’s going on.

Men who appear from mirrors and disappear into walls. There is also an air gun that emits lightning and has magical killing power.

Everything is obvious.

But Mido’s rationality didn’t want him to accept that.

I don’t want to recognize you as an evil man who uses magic.

“Hey, dumbass!”

At being shouted at by Magic Bell, Gotou snapped back to his senses.

“It was sealed, but you destroyed it. This kind of chance won’t come again, you know?”

“Ah, sorry!”

The criminal shock actually made amends to the young girl. Cold sweat broke out on him.

“An ordinary gun won’t work on him.”

“I can’t help it, I’m just so angry!”

Mido wanted to hold his head and scream.

He and the young girl were the only two left in the room.

Suddenly the young girl’s blouse was moving.

“！”

Gotou felt the sheet float up on his ass. He tried to escape. But the thing seemed to ignore Mido’s feelings.

It’s a girl. A girl in a girls’ school uniform.

Crawling out of Magic Bell’s jacket pocket, he jumped to the ground.

Has long green hair and cat-like eyes. She is about 30 centimeters tall.

30 centimeters!

“What, what, what is this?”

“Nice to meet you!”

The girl looked up and smiled at Midori.

“My name is Beautiful!”

Gotou just felt so dizzy that he passed out!

Chapter III. Meetings

“Uncle, what do you think of when you hear magic?”

“Is it the impression method?”

“Yes!”

“Ako, Seko, Sara~”

“It’s not like that. It’s like an impressionistic method that recites a spell, like a cartoon.”

“Uh-huh!”

“Uncle isn’t your current profession the criminal flute?”

“Ah!”

“A real police officer?”

“Yes!”

“And what do you think of the criminal police serials on TV from your standpoint?”

“Huh?”

“You mean shooting up the streets and driving after them?”

“Ah, yes! It’s funny, isn’t it? Wearing a Japanese kimono with an assault rifle.”

“Anyway, that’s it!”

“What? Ah, is that magic?”

“The average person thinks magic is something that doesn’t exist. It’s ridiculous!”

“So the real magic is airsoft?”

“I’ll explain it to you well later, real magic is science!”

“Science? Being able to drill into mirrors and walls is science?”

“That is a realm beyond explanation. One can only know the method of its use.”

“Huh?”

“That’s right, it’s like the olden days when people drilled wood to start fires!”

“Uh-huh!”

“There’s also converting kinetic energy to heat. Isn’t that what it’s all about? Somehow. But it just raises the fire.”

“Ah, yes!”

“So the reasoning behind magic is the same. As long as certain formalities are followed, it will produce that kind of phenomenon. But what principle is not known. You see with machines like VCRs or computers, if you don’t have an instruction manual, you don’t know anything, it’s like that, you know?”

“The sun burned before Einstein was born, didn’t it?”

“Just like that!”

“That too?”

Mido said as he pointed to Beauty.

“That would be rude, officer! I’m alive too, and I have feelings.”

“Ah, sorry!”

“It’s not the same as the way you generate it.”

“Beautiful is the automaton I made.”

“Automatons?”

“Well, it’s an automated doll, which could also be called a robot.”

“Is this also magic? Unexplained science?”

“Please call me beautiful!”

“Ah, yes. Is beauty also created by magic?”

“Yes. A magic machine, so to speak. Please look at my body, that would make robotics engineering experts lose their confidence!”

“Is it that complicated?”

“No, instead it’s quite simple. For example, these two feet that I can walk on are simply made from gears of mercury and crystal.”

“I don’t know the principle. But if you make good use of this combination, you can walk. Anyway it’s called magic engineering.”

“Magic engineering? This gun too?”

“Well, it’s a commercially available air gun. But the engraving here, that’s the trade name. I call him Blastan.”

“Huh?”

“Pretty cool, huh?”

“May I see it?”

“Please!”

“Taking a name has an important meaning. Just like when you hear the word ‘beautiful’, you think of that person being beautiful. For example, when you hear the word ‘flower’, doesn’t that word come to mind?”

“Hmm?”

“That must be it, just like when you hear roses, lilies, or tulips, doesn’t a specific image come to mind? It might even feel like smelling it!”

“Ah, I see.”

“That’s what the meaning of the word ‘flower’ does to people.”

“Well, names have meaning. And the object or creature that is given that name is attached with the power to have that meaning.”

“The man whose name is World is so handsome!”

“Yes?”

“Aaah!”

“Yes, and the shape?”

“Shape?”

“Like names, shapes have meaningful power.”

“Whoo!”

“Let me illustrate!”

“Please!”

“Such as when making dolls out of matchsticks.”

“Ah, I see, it can be a matchstick or a person.”

“Well, it’s getting smarter. Attaching a different meaning from the original by a specific arrangement.”

“Brasta, this gun is the outlet that allows me to release my energy.”

“Is that so?”

“The life force possessed by living things ~ it’s like vigor, right? Unleashing abilities like a Noh can does, I can’t. That’s why I use the form ‘gun’. The BBs it shoots out will have energy.”

“Ah~”

“Got it?”

“Probably~”

“Don’t believe it?”

“It’s not like I don’t believe it!”

“There’s nothing you can do about it!”

“I don’t believe in UFOs, ghosts, that sort of thing. I don’t believe in them unless I see them with my own eyes. But once you see it with your own eyes, you have to believe in things you didn’t believe in before. No, even if I see it with my own eyes, I still can’t believe it.”

“Well, even if you don’t believe in magic, just believe in me!”

“Awwwwwww,” “Next time don’t be so rash. That guy is no ordinary guy.”

“Uh, I know!”

“But that guy is really evil.”

“Hmm?”

“Evil?”

“Yes, magic basically utilizes the power of nature. But that guy went against the laws of nature.”

“Time and space are meant to behave according to their physical laws. It always seemed a little counterintuitive to have something like that happen consistently.”

“Against common sense?”

“Well, he warps time and space to and from the narrow space of the secondary world. Just as the earth’s crust is skewed to cause earthquakes, distorting time and space will cause no telling what kind of heavenly changes. Even history would be distorted, and in the worst case scenario it might even destroy the entire universe.”

“Then it must be stopped.”

“Yes!”

“Huh?”

“Unite? With me, we’re united!”

“The enemy is not human. Only your strength won’t do.”

“Decided?”

“It’s decided!”

“Great!”

“Wonderful and beautiful!”

“But on one condition!”

“What?”

“Don’t ever call me uncle or ojisan again!”

Chapter 4 – The Playground

Taxi fare, lodging, cut mirrors, and ceiling repairs were all on the police department’s tab, and although it was a lot of money, Mido didn’t care. Because as long as the case is handled favorably, it’s fine.

Although the method is a bit out of the ordinary, it’s really the only way to solve the problem. The guy had to be arrested and the ten missing girls brought home safely. He didn’t know how to get the man in court, but he knew it was his job.

Two single rooms of the highest class. One for Mido, the other for Magic Bell.

After noon, the two of them dined together in the restaurant on the first floor.

Mido ordered 500 grams of steak and Magic Bell ordered burgers. Mai was sunbathing on the balcony of her room. That was her “meal”.

“It was heartbreaking to let him get away, and he’s bound to do it again.”

Magic Bell said as she waved her knife.

“By the way, have you ever heard of subterfuge?”

Midori nodded.

Subterfuge is a probing technique. It is usually done with two metal rods bent in an L shape. Holding the shorter side, you stand up with your fists, and the longer side guides you ahead. Walking in this position, this rod will unfold to the left and right if you walk on a vein of water.

“That can only be used where there’s a faucet, right?”

“Well, but that principle is also unclear, anyway~”

“Unknown Science!”

“Yes! Didn’t the temperature drop when that guy just showed up at the hotel?”

“Uh-huh!”

“That’s the atmosphere reacting to his evil aura, that’s the evil aura he’s releasing.”

“Whoo!”

“Beauty is particularly sensitive to that.”

Magic Bell explained.

“All living things have ‘chi’ just like plants and animals. Beauty is the one who perceived the chi of the man called Saint Ruoxi Barker, the man in black, whom she came to track down.”

“Track him? How can I track him? Japan is so big!”

No problem, Magic Bell said confidently.

“Any bigger, we have this.”

“Huh?”

“Map of Japan!”

After the main meal, Midori ordered a coffee and Magic Bell ordered an ice cream soda.

Go back to your room and start the search.

What was a commonplace search for Magic Bell was unheard of for Mido.

Midori came to Magic Bell’s room.

On the bed was a large book. It was very old road maps.

“Where that guy lives~”

“Use this to find out.”

There are map dice methods for submerged feats in addition to using L rods.

Place the dice on the map and move. Once you find the target location, the direction of the dice swing changes.

Devil’s Bell said that this method could be used to find out the man in black.

“It can start anytime.”

Beautiful said standing on the coffee table. Midori looked on with her eyes wide.

Red bikini.

“Ah, that’s, Beauty will change?”

“Ah!”

That beautiful doll made Mido’s heart flutter.

She was just a robot, but her good body and pretty face were enough to stir up lust within Gotou.

Magic Bell reached out and grabbed the little beauty in her bathing suit.

“That’s how you feel the chi.”

As he said this, he laid Beauty down on the bed.

“Yes!”

Magic Bell opened the map.

“Begin!”

“OK!”

Beauty struck a graceful pose, standing on the open page.

Beauty closed her eyes and was about to dance.

Midori sat on the coffee table where Beauty had just stood and stared at the sight.

“It’s on!”

“Hmmm~”

Closed eyes face moving, slowly hands coming up, wrists hanging down in a line.

That’s the beginning.

Beautiful dancing.

Reversing, twisting, jumping, crouching, what a beautiful dance.

Moving with the atmosphere. The tiny flesh is very sultry and charming.

“It’s beautiful~”

“Yes?”

At some point Magic Bell also sat next to Gotou.

The little beauty’s movements became more intense.

“Almost found it.”

“Uh-huh!”

Beautifully tumbled.

“Whoo!”

Gotou couldn’t help but exclaim, but the light that followed was even more unbelievable.

The beautiful little body twisted unnaturally, no longer descending slowly. Feet lifted up to her chest, hands spreading slowly as if she were about to fly. Soon the feet stood in one spot on the quadrangle map, tiny lips exhaling.

“Got it, this is it.”

“That guy right there?”

Beauty shook her head, her face full of exhaustion.

“I found him, but I can’t, he’s hiding well. His consciousness leaked out though.”

“Consciousness?”

“He’s hiding well. But we can tell from here where his next target is, and he can’t expect us to.”

“Wait, what does that mean?”

Beauty smiled at Gotou, and Gotou thought it was a beautiful smile.

“It’s not known where he is, but it’s known where his next target is.”

Beauty wrote “32” on the map.

The magic bell turned to page 32.

Beauty stands a little above.

“Awareness is strong, and it will move tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the slowest.”

It was a playground in Kanto Gaien, and Magic Bell cheered loudly.

“Great, we’ll go to the playground tomorrow.”

The women’s skin is so white in the dark.

The women who have had their senses taken away by the devil are being tormented by lust.

The black man’s hand was moving.

The women’s bodies were cheering. The excitement was increased when the hands of the holy Ruoxi Vedic man touched their bodies.

The women are all dreaming.

Two more people would have made it.

Leaving the exhausted Beauty in her room, Magic Bell and Midori went out shopping. The department store is next door to the hotel and the toy store is in the building. Magic Bell buys thousands of BBs, and just as Magic Bell is about to pay the bill, Mido finds a gun that looks exactly like Magic Bell’s Bratanz.

It has the name of the manufacturer written on it.

Metal Olympics

Load dozens of rounds (for 6mm BB rounds) airsoft gun

The hit rate is superb! Japan Airsoft Association APS Competition Gun

So it is.

After buying BBs, the two went to get some more food.

Magic Bell also bought white labeling paper.

“To be made into cards.”

Midori remembered the label that Magic Bell had put on the mirror that day.

After shopping, the two went to the coffee shop in the basement.

“So tired.”

The two ordered iced coffees and ice cream sodas.

“Can I ask a question?”

“What?”

“I only know your name, I don’t know much about your background, can you tell me more?”

“Uh-huh!”

“Well, let me start by telling you about myself. I’m a police officer in the Crime Prevention Division of the Police Department. I quickly climbed up the ladder to work at the Police Department because of this disappearance. I’m in full charge of this case, so I have a lot of authority. Police officers all over the country know me now, know the reason?”

“Because you’re known for corruption?”

“Nonsense, talk about you!”

“Well!”

“Is that all?”

“Want to hear about my childhood?”

“Okay!”

“Do you know Dr. Hatsuri?”

“Sorry, didn’t know.”

“A normal person wouldn’t know. He was my grandfather. He called himself a scientist, but it was a different kind of science. That is, a science that specializes in magic. My grandfather went from being an alternative scientist to being able to use magic.”

“Ah~”

“As a result, my grandfather opened the door to the Heretic World.”

“Uh-huh!”

“I just inherited his career. I’m a private investigator, really just to have to carry on its magic, but I thought that would be horrible, so I crowned my career so that there were rules to follow.”

“I know, I’d like to know more.”

“I can’t tell you too much yet.”

“Why?”

“No reason!”

Back at the hotel, the combat meeting began.

The first question was posed by Mido.

“Beauty said she would attack someone somewhere in the amusement park. But that guy is constantly on the move. If we don’t act carefully, he’ll find us before we find him, and that’ll be a disaster.”

“Just leave it to me.”

Magic Bell said.

Magic Bell picked up a cigarette from the table, but there was no lighter in sight.

But lighters do go with cigarettes.

“Don’t know where the lighter is? Just put it there!”

Magic Bell and Beauty both burst out laughing.

“No kidding, you guys are hiding.”

“We’re not hiding, look!”

Magic Bell removed the lighter from the table.

“Huh?”

What’s going on here? I see the lighter now, but I didn’t see it just now. There was nothing on the table.

“Just use this.”

The lighter was labeled with a tag that had just been purchased. The white label had the word “Hidden” written on it, which was the word for magic bell.

“Can’t see it, can you? Actually, it’s visible, but it can’t get in the line of sight so that guy can’t find us.”

So it is.

It is a medium-sized amusement park located in the western part of Kansai, built on top of Mt. Tanabata.

When it opened, it was billed as a backyard amusement park in Tokyo, but it was poorly run due to the lack of transportation. All the guests went to Tokyo Disneyland. Only on Sundays there are more visitors.

Normally there are not many tourists.

That’s why Magic Bell reassured Gotou that he shouldn’t be afraid.

“There are no out-of-town visitors, but for the neighborhood, it’s the best place for them to relax.”

“Uh-huh!”

That morning, Mido and Misuzu took the Shinkansen to this place, and when they arrived at the station, they took a taxi there.

Because they had to be there right at the opening time. There were a few pairs of parent-child visitors at that time, in addition to Mido and the others.

Upon entering the garden, Magic Bell immediately gave Gotou the prepared sticker with the word “Hidden” written on it.

“Come on!”

Magic Bell put it to his forehead.

“This is so ugly~”

“No one will see it, it’s okay!”

“Okay!”

Midori also posted up. Beauty snickers from the sidelines.

“Let the battle begin!”

“Yes!”

Magic Bell was with Beauty, and Midori fought alone, in two separate directions. This playground was in the shape of a circle in the hinterland. Mido was in charge of the center section.

Mido sat down on the bench and began to prepare his props.

Someone was already playing, and the sound of machines spinning resounded around them.

The Cloudcuckoolander seems to be forever fascinating.

So many parents got on the bus with their kids.

Screams were heard.

Magic Bell felt hungry. The time had passed noon.

Although I came to the playground, I couldn’t play. It was really boring. Magic Bell only smelled the stench of food, not the flow of air. She wandered around the park with her beauty.

“So boring!”

“Well, it’s going to be boring for a long time yet!”

“Yes?”

“Correctly it should be boring for I don’t know how long.”

Beauty sat on Magic Bell’s shoulder, she was wearing a suit and a pair of red boots today.

“It’s probably going to show up today or tomorrow, so we’d better be careful.”

“Ugh!”

Magic Bell sat down on the stool with her entire body.

“So tired and hungry.”

“No way, going to lunch then?”

“Good! There’s a restaurant there!”

“No way! Didn’t you just see a burger vending machine? Eat that!”

“Why so bad!”

“Mido-san eats the food he brings, too!”

“Okay!”

Magic Bell had to get a burger for dinner.

Taking a sip of his easy-open coffee, Mido looked at his watch. If you want to abduct someone in the amusement park, you must do it during business hours. After the park closes, only the guards are left. And since the guards are all male, the people you’re looking for are only female employees or female tourists.

There is a commonality in who the killer is looking for, which means that he will only go after a woman who fulfills his criteria.

The first is a woman of a particular sign, and the second is after the deed is done. There is no need to make arrangements to fulfill the first condition, but to fulfill the second condition, you need to have the right timing.

Precognition, perspective. Such words come to mind. That’s how the “enemy” exists.

Mido sighed.

Anyway, he had to keep an eye on the place until the tourists left the amusement park, and even before the female staff got off work. That’s why he had already realized that he was going to stay here all night tonight.

It’s going to be a long night.

Magic Bell ate her burger as she walked towards the garden, slowly her stomach started to hurt, Magic Bell thought maybe the burger was too spicy.

Having already messed around the garden several times, we are now at the main entrance again.

Midori was sitting on a bench when a young couple walked in front of him. The men were each holding a serving of ice cream. They stood in front of Mido with a strange expression on their faces as they walked towards the bench not far from Mido. There are already a few couples passing in front of Mido like this, the number of tourists is increasing.

There is a fenced-in motorcycle race course in the west corner of the park. The venue is not large, but it is filled with motorcycles, the fastest of which can go up to 30 kilometers per hour.

“Ugh, I wish I could have some fun!”

Magic Bell speaks her heart’s desire. But Beauty ignores her.

“Beautiful~” “Shh!”

Beautiful stood on the shoulder of the magic bell. Eyes closed, her hand began to stroke through space. Actions like this had some sort of meaning.

“Beautiful!”

“It’s him!”

“There?”

“Miserable! Across the street! The tour bus!”

Magic Bell could hear that Beauty was nervous.

“It’s him! In the tour bus!”

“I know! Hurry over there!”

As he spoke, Mido had already taken out the “small props” in his hand.

The janitor pulls the starter lever and starts the engine. The young boy straps on his helmet and makes a victory sign to the girl he brought with him. If junkies were motorcycles to disappear, it was then.

Just a moment ago, there was no sight of any revved up white mini-motorcycle.

The man in black came to the ceiling of the tour bus in which the young couple was kissing. The man in black did not notice the presence of the man in black.

Dozens of thick paper cones were tied up with rubber bands. Mido placed them on the ground and sprinkled them with lighter fluid. At the touch of a lighter, the bundles of paper tubes the size of a washstand would catch fire and burn.

There was the sound of something cracking, and the Holy Ruoxi Barker couldn’t help but look back. Just below it, white smoke rose from the opposite side of the tour bus and went straight up into the sky.

It’s fireworks.

Another one was set off, and another. Many fireworks went straight up, making a thumping sound all around, creating a spectacular sight in the sky. Immediately there were many colors of fireworks bursting in the air.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

The slender eyes narrowed even more.

“Turned!”

Turn your body upside down to the side and skew the mini motorcycle. Magic Bell lets the rear wheel slide and rushes across the front of the store. Knees hit the ground, stockings torn and bleeding.

“It hurts! Really!”

As I turned the corner, I caught a glimpse of the burning bundle of paper out of the corner of my eye.

“Daddy, it’s fireworks!”

“Uh, someone’s setting off fireworks!”

“Wow, it’s beautiful!”

“Hey! Who set off fireworks here!”

“I don’t know!”

The thumping kept going and the fireworks kept going up into the sky. The San Ruoxi Vedic people had noticed that this was an unusual sight.

Just for a moment.

But that moment also qualified as a moment of humiliation for him. In the very next instant, having come back to his senses, he knew it was someone else’s plot.

You can see the tour bus. He’s right on the ceiling.

Wearing a long black coat. Long black hair. Cheeks as white as powdered.

You bad boy.

Magic Bell held the clutch in her left hand and took out the Blastoise in her right. Placing the gun on his shoulder. Beautiful pulls the handle with both hands.

“OK!”

“Thanks!”

Magic Bell turned his gun on the enemy.

“You realize!”

Chapter 5: Your Name

A plastic ball went flying.

Little girl!

The holy Ruoxi Vedic man draws a circle with both hands. The missile hits right in the center of the circle.

“Woo!”

After the flash of the explosion, the body of the man in black flew towards the back wall.

Due to gravity, he fell to the ground.

“See? Right there!”

But in her haste to hit the brakes, Magic Bell saw more than the light of her foe crashing to the ground.

The demon spun around in the air and landed silently on the tour bus aisle.

“Hi, we meet again.”

The man in black stared straight at the magic bell. The paper on his forehead no longer worked for him.

“I’ll never let you escape this time!”

The Holy Ruoxi Vedic Man smiled. The color of his lips was redder than blood.

“Hurts the brain. If you don’t bother…”

“Evil can’t defeat good. You’d better surrender obediently!”

“Whoo!”

The man in black was about to take a step forward when the tour bus driver ran over and froze in front of him.

“Ah~ You’re not doing anything, are you?”

“Don’t! Run away!”

Beauty called too late, and the demon looked at the employee.

“Shatter!”

The employee’s head was then shattered. In an instant his head turned into chunks of flesh and so much blood trickled down. Collapsed.

“You~”

Magic Bell screamed in anger.

“Kill the irrelevant!”

The demon said as his hands danced in the air.

“Crack it!”

In that very instant, fathers and sons, couples, employees in uniform, all shattered one by one.

Some were lying straight, some were lying horizontally, some had their chests shattered, some had their lower bodies blown apart, and all were bloody and dead.

The only ones still standing were Magic Bell, Beauty and Shengxi Barker.

“Ah!”

“It’s too much!”

“Please don’t worry, I won’t hurt you.”

“What did you say!”

“It’s important to me that you are!”

“Don’t be a hypocrite!”

“I feel the same way.”

Just at the same time, a voice came from behind the man in black.

It was Mido, who held a .38 caliber gun against the man’s heart.

“Hey, you’re under arrest!”

Stopped from moving due to the fireworks, then screwed around by the Demon Bell, so Gotou could take advantage of the opening to attack him from behind. The only mistake was giving away those lives for nothing.

“I’m really sorry about yesterday, Ojisan! I’ll make sure to clean up my past shame today, and I won’t let you get away again!”

The sound of the trigger was heard, and at that moment the magic bell held the gun to the forehead of the Holy Ruoxi Barker.

“If you kill me, you won’t find those missing girls.”

“Great, we were actually worried!”

“How?”

“No. Anyway, just don’t want to kill you.”

“I see, there’s something in the words!”

“It would be too cheap to let you die like that.”

“Hurt my brain, I’ve got work to do!”

“I know!”

“I can’t help it then, it’s really not much of a smart method~”

The demon smiled like a viper.

Sounds like lemon rags came from all around, circling toward the magic bell.

“Magic bells!”

As Beauty yelled, Magic Bell’s ankle seemed to be slapped by something.

It was a little boy in an employee’s uniform. There was nothing below the waist, and intestines that bled like a long tail wrapped around Magic Bell’s foot.

The face is expressionless, with the left and right eyeballs looking in different directions.

All of the flesh that had been struck down by the Holy Ruoxi Barkers stood up again. The headless tour bus employees slowly made their way toward the Imperial Hall.

“…！”

In a moment of reflexive action, the man in black just disappeared in front of Gotou’s eyes. That meant he was gone.

“Miserable!”

“Negligence is the worst enemy!”

The sound was coming from above. The demon was standing on the axle of the tour bus.

“Have fun with them! I’m going to do my thing!”

“Hey, you!”

The headless man cradled the Midori wrist with his gun raised.

“No way! This!”

The opponent rolled over and twisted at the waist. The fallen headless man’s body stood up again. Looking up, the black jacket flew through the air.

“Shoo!”

The Mido’s .38 sparked. It was a bit of a distance. But he was confident. Sending out six rounds in a row.

But there was no response.

Saint Ruoxi Barker smiled at Mido before being sucked into the ceiling of the tour bus.

“No more!”

“Magic Bell, snap out of it!”

Because Beauty called out like that, Gotou hurriedly turned back.

“Hey, what’s up!”

The magic bell didn’t move a muscle. No, it couldn’t move. Feeble vision wandered among the dead.

“Hmph!”

Gotou grunted and rushed over. The young girl was all unconscious.

Gotoh rushed in among the dead, kicking and punching them, knocking them down one by one.

Bodies that were walking around with only the lower half of their bodies, people whose oozing organs were swaying between their feet, people who were creeping on the ground in a zigzag formation, people whose bodies were pulled apart from side to side like scissors… Only the upper half of the toddler had wrapped itself around the waist of the magic bell, and was trying to climb further up the ladder.

“Pull yourself together, you idiot!”

Mido pulled down the toddler who was only in the upper half of his body.

“Ah!”

Blood-stained milk teeth roared at Mido. Mido hurriedly shook him off.

“Run!”

“Yes!”

The person who answered was beautiful. She jumped into the pocket of Magic Bell’s blouse. Midori put the gun away and grabbed the Blaster out of Magic Bell’s hand. Shooting at the female who had lost her left cheek in front of her eyes. the BB’s hit her white bone and bounced off.

“Hmph, who says I can’t!”

Turning around again and kicking the female corpse with only half of her face, Gotou picked up Magic Bell, slung her over his shoulder, and walked out. In front of the road all piled up with dead people.

“Ah~”

Holding the Magic Bell, Gotoh jumps and breaks out, and kicks and punches.

Beautiful to know.

This is no ordinary takedown.

It moves like a real-life fighting technique. But the dead fell down and got up again, and kept coming around.

There are just too many…

Mido finally noticed.

The people around the tour bus weren’t the only ones killed by that beast; in that instant, all the people in the park were killed by him.

“That son of a bitch!”

Gotou let out a roar.

The man whose ribs were exposed from his chest let out a viscous sound and collapsed vertically before Gotou could strike. Just like that, all the dead people who surrounded them all fell down one by one.

Midori looked around.

The only one standing today is himself.

“Hey!”

“Uh-huh!”

The Devil’s aura was gone.

The male who made the announcement did not leave a name. It was always assumed that this was a joke call, but when the police arrived on the scene, they really witnessed the tragedy.

The bodies of all the amusement park employees and visitors were piled up in a mountain, either blown up or broken into tiny pieces, all of them dead. The park was filled with guts and fuzzy pieces of flesh.

Several of the forensics staff have run into the restroom and thrown up.

There was only one survivor, found hanging from the ceiling of the tour bus, and the youth, who had gone into a state of panic, was rushed to the police hospital.

A woman’s purse fell from the ceiling. There was a regular bus ticket inside, and I found out that the holder was a student at a medical school in a neighboring prefecture named Junko Tate. But she’s gone.

Questioning the youth in the ambulance, he said only one thing.

“Gone.”

The young girl’s weak eyes looked at the ceiling, but Mido knew she wasn’t looking at anything at all. This is what happens when one’s mental load exceeds boundaries. It was a protective instinct, but the heart was actually closed.

After Mido notified the police with a pay phone, he took the bus in front of the amusement park with Magic Bell in his arms. Since there was still a sticker on his forehead, no one noticed anything strange.

When the car pulled up to the hotel in front of the station, Mido asked for a double room. Because the magic bell still has a sticker on it, and the hotel also has single rooms, but if the police are notified if someone sees that he has brought an unconscious girl into a single room, it would be a disaster.

Entering the room and laying Magic Bell on the bed, she had been unconscious for an hour.

Looking away from the window at Mt. Tanabata, the mountain was already gradually coloring red. Mido hadn’t even taken off his shirt to take care of the girl in the neighboring bed.

That’s not rude, is it?

She is indeed an incredible young woman. The air gun in her hand had immense destructive power, gave life to the doll, and was invisible.

But she’s just a teenage girl.

To see with one’s own eyes a human body blown to pieces, and then the fallen body getting up to attack someone again. It is impossible to cheer a person up with such a sight.

Gotou had been used to seeing dead bodies for a long time, so he was not surprised. And from a young age, his father had taught him boxing techniques that could instantly shift his spirit into a state of readiness.

And after all, Magic Bell was still just a young girl. It was impossible to make her turn a blind eye.

Gotou couldn’t help but sigh. Beautiful, who was sitting next to the magic bell pillow, looked up.

“I’ll be watching her. Are you sweating?”

“Uh, ah, yes~”

But Mido still didn’t move.

“I can do it, go ahead!”

“Does it stink?”

“Yes!”

Maybe!

Midori knew he wasn’t sweating.

Rather, it’s the stench of corpses.

A lot of people, no, he kicked, punched, and swatted down several moving bodies.

Fists stained with blood-covered entrails, kicks to sinewy exposed feet, and bruised several white skulls.

So many corpses came at him that Gotou was covered in slime.

Never spare you!

Not satisfied with taking so many unrelated human lives, he even wanted to use them as props.

Holy Ruoxi Barker ~ I will never spare you!

“It’s all me~”

The magic bell woke up.

Eyes looking up at the ceiling, tears streaming down his face.

“It’s all me. Everyone is dead. It’s my own fault that it’s come to this. It’s all me, it’s all me, I almost won. Nasty, nasty, how could this happen!”

From the open eyes flowed bucketfuls of teardrops, down the cheeks, and slid between the ears.

“Cheer up, Magic Bell! If we leave him alone, he’ll practice the Call Back Technique. Won’t more people die that way!”

“I don’t know!”

Magic Bell yelled, pounding her hands on the sheet.

“Why, why am I so useless! Why was I so careless! It’s all me!”

“Magic bells!”

“Ignore me! Don’t save me!”

“It’s too late for anything!”

Gotou gripped Magic Bell’s shoulders tightly and shook them hard.

“Well, girl! No one knew things would turn out like this. But as long as you’re alive, you still have the strength to deal with him, don’t give up on yourself like that!”

“I hate myself, I can’t!”

Tears fell in bunches.

Mido could feel the pain inside her.

It’s pathetic.

But ~ Midori shook her head.

“It’s okay, even if something happens, the responsibility for this is…”

“Everyone’s dead, aren’t they?”

The tears fell again.

“Am I bad?”

“No, you’re not bad, you’re doing your best.”

“Uh-huh!”

The teardrops got bigger and still kept slipping down.

“However, if you don’t fight like that, next time he doesn’t know who he’s going to hurt, then that’s on you. Losing is not a sin. But running away without fighting is never allowed!”

“Absolutely not allowed~”

“So pull yourself together, little girl! I’m going to stop that guy, even if it kills me. I can’t silently watch him do whatever he wants. But my strength alone is not enough, I need your assistance.”

“Uncle~” “Magic Bell, let’s beat that bad guy together!”

It was only when he finished that Midori noticed.

He called her by her first name for the first time. He didn’t mean to not call her that, he just hadn’t even had the opportunity to do so before.

But he knew there was great significance in calling her that. Before his eyes the young girl’s gaze, which had been lost in thought, could slowly be seen to seemingly shine. Mido remembered what Beauty had said.

Names have power.

“Magic Bell~”

“Uncle, I~”

The young girl’s hand touched Mido’s broad wrist.

“Magic Bell, let’s beat that guy together!”

“Well ~ yes ~ we’ll beat him together!”

“Whoo!”

Suddenly Magic Bell reached out her arms and wrapped them around Gotou’s neck. The young girl’s lips touched the tendons of his neck and her breath could be felt.

“Hey, hey~”

The young girl’s hands were so strong, Mido didn’t know what to do.

“Thank you~ I’m sorry, Mido-san!”

Gotou just ah, uh, half-heartedly, his face reddening.

Beauty smiled quietly from the sidelines.

Atsuko was being dragged.

She didn’t know where she was.

She felt the ceiling so low. She heard someone calling her.

“Atsuko~”

The room was dark, but spacious. In one corner of the room, a youth was watching her. In the darkness, the fire on the candlestick the youth held in his hand wavered and stung.

“You’re awake, Atsuko!”

The candlelight swayed, and so did the whole room.

The room was beautiful, with large decorative curtains, a canopy over the bed, a fireplace, and antique furniture, it was like the “princess’s room” that Atsuko had dreamed of since she was a little girl.

How did I get here?

Last night was the meeting with Jian after two months of separation, the two went to the hotel to do business. We decided to go to the amusement park this morning, but because we hadn’t seen each other for so long, we couldn’t bear to part, so we took the excursion bus later, and then… and then…

The youth held a candlestick in his hand and leaned his knees against the lace bed. Long black hair and black clothes, a handsome face that showed off his fair skin.

He smiled at Atsuko.

“Don’t get carried away.”

Being told that, Atsuko stopped thinking.

“Please close your eyes!”

Atsuko obediently opened her eyes.

The youth’s long hair touched her cheek.

“Uh-huh!”

As his lips pressed against them, Atsuko reached her climax. It was numbing right down to her waistline, and even her fingertips could feel it. The youth’s tongue intertwined with Atsuko’s, attacking further inside.

“Uh-huh!”

Reached the esophagus.

What a long tongue this man has, thought Atsuko. Bouts of pleasure continued to come at Atsuko.

It felt more comforting and exciting than the union of the two.

This is not ordinary sex.

The tongue reached into the stomach pouch and tickled the duodenum, to the lining of the long small intestine.

“Ooooohhhh!”

Atsuko’s lips gripped the youth’s tongue tightly. The youth’s tongue went straight to the inside of Atsuko’s rectum.

He was only violated with his lips, but Atsuko was violated all over.

The tongue reached the inside of the sphincter at the eye of the asshole. Atsuko could appreciate the wordless request. As she relaxed, the front of the tongue flew out to Atsumi’s ass.

The tongue stretched longer and longer, licking her private parts.

“Ah!”

The two men’s lips pressed together again, and Saint Ruoxi barked a smile. The tongue was slipping into the privates.

One more to go and it’s done.

Chapter 6 The Night Before

Magic Bell took off her top and dropped the large bag on her back onto the bed.

“I’m going to take a shower!”

“Whoa, okay, I’ll wash it later!”

“No, wash them together!”

Gotou was taking a bottle of beer out of the fridge and bringing it to his mouth.

Magic Bell’s words caused him to spray the beer he’d taken in, getting his shirt all wet.

“What ~ with ~ washing with you?”

“Don’t! I can’t imagine you’re more shy than I am! Here’s your towel!”

Magic Bell threw a towel out of the bathroom and she immediately jumped into the tub.

“This~”

“Come on, there’s nothing to be ashamed of!”

Magic Bell called out to Midori.

“Ahh~ this~”

Wiping his face with a towel, Gotou glanced at Beauty.

Beauty, who was lying on the Magic Bell bed watching TV, moved her head.

That’s like saying, “Just go in.

“She likes you, so get in there and do her a favor!”

“Help?”

“Well, thank you really for just now. But I’m still not back to normal yet. So just do me another favor! It won’t be anything.”

“Ah~” Bang, the bathroom door slammed shut. Beauty said to Midori, who was holding a beer can in her hand.

“Go on! She’ll die that way!”

“Ah~”

“So many people were killed in front of her eyes, and I don’t think it’s her responsibility. But if she doesn’t think it’s Self’s fault, then she’s too irresponsible. She can’t fight again if she hasn’t been allowed to break through such a mental barrier, you know?”

“Ah!”

“So please go in! She hates trusting you!”

Mido hmmm’d and finished the rest of his beer in one gulp.

“I’m coming in!”

“Uh-huh!”

The bathroom is huge. The bathtub was also large. The teenage girl soaked her entire body in the water, showing only her shoulders. The teenage girl hemmed and hawed.

Instead, Mido, who had a towel around his body, was visibly embarrassed.

“I’m sorry for being so willful.”

“Ah, never mind!”

“Please!”

“Uh-huh!”

There was no sink and only one bathtub, so it couldn’t be flushed first. Midori stood by the tub, like a high school freshman with her heart racing.

Gotou has a habit of blushing. With a little excitement, his face would turn red.

“It’s hot!”

“A little!”

Afraid of splashing water onto the toilet, Mido carefully and slowly sank into the water. Both of them bent their knees, but Mido was still exposed above the chest.

“Uh-huh!”

He tried his best to keep his eyes from looking below the young girl’s face. Magic Bell saw him like this and spoke.

“Hey!”

“It’s ready, look!”

What was revealed were tiny sticking out breasts.

It doesn’t look like it’s developing very well yet.

“Huh?”

There’s a purple pattern that looks like a mole.

It’s a star. A star with five vertices drawn in one stroke.

“That’s~” “The mark of a witch!”

“Witch~”

“Don’t be so dramatic, okay!”

That’s the pentagram.

The five vertices represent the five elements that make up nature, such as gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the connecting threads have the effect of harmonizing all the elements, as explained by the Magic Bell.

“This one determines the rest of my life. This shape is the way I should go.”

“Magic Bell~”

“I can only live like this. You must have been shocked! You’re the first to know~”

“…”

“So thanks for calling me back. I can come back and I’ll work on it.”

“Uh-huh!”

“Please help me!”

“Whoo!”

Gotou let the young girl lie on his chest. Arms around her shoulders.

“You don’t know, do you?”

“Huh?”

“I’ve always wanted this!”

“Uh-huh!”

“Hey!”

“Huh?”

“Want to have sex?”

Midori blushed again.

“Stupid!”

The young girl shook her shoulders as she laughed. The two just sat and soaked in the tub.

Beauty said as the two took a shower and walked out.

“Magic bells?”

“Uh, got it!”

Unloading Church opened his second bottle of beer that day and sat on the edge of the bed. Magic Bell took a bottle of beer in the same position and sat on the neighboring bed. Both had changed in the bathroom, and Beauty jumped onto Magic Bell’s shoulder.

It was dark outside the window, and only the Shinkansen emitted a greenish-white electric light as it passed.

“That guy’s bound to make a move tomorrow.”

“How? So soon?”

Magic Bell grinned, wiggling her index finger from side to side.

“Don’t you guys underestimate me as a magical detective, okay? I noticed his weakness.”

“Weakness?”

“Yes, it just occurred to me, too, when Mr. Mido called me back.”

Midori thought, “Is that so?

“It’s a very simple truth. The first time I met that guy, he showed this big weakness. If I had noticed it earlier, Beauty wouldn’t have had to dance or go to the playground for an ambush, and so many people wouldn’t have died. That’s why I’m such a big dummy.”

“Me too, I wouldn’t have noticed if Mr. Mido hadn’t just called your name.”

“Well, I’m the only one who can’t understand it!”

“Okay, you write that person’s name and see, there’s note paper there!”

“Huh? Yes!”

Mido picked up a pen and wrote.

“There!”

“Huh?”

“You write in hiragana?”

“Uh-huh!”

“Doesn’t it seem strange why he picked that name?”

“Huh?”

So when he took the name, although he pronounced the sound, what came to his mind were the words “Holy Ruoxi Vedic Man”.

“Wait, even you guys…”

“Yes!”

“So it is!”

“What’s going on?”

“That means that’s that guy’s biggest weakness. What had Beauty said before?”

“Names are a power, right?”

“Exactly! A name is not a mark. It is a part of man, and of all animals. The fellow conveyed a part of himself to us at that time.”

“Huh? I still don’t get it!”

“What Magic Bell is trying to say is that the window opened because you called her by name.”

Beauty added.

“Window?”

“Yes, that guy is a mysterious demon with great power. Didn’t the temperature in the room drop when he appeared? His presence is ‘failure’ and ‘destruction’. He stands in front of flowers, and when he commands them to wilt, they wilt. His words are poisonous.”

Mido remembers the tragedy he witnessed at the amusement park today. He ordered the blowup, and then~

“But that power is at the same time his weakness.”

“Wait, I think I get it.”

People meet with people. They call each other by name. Because of the act of calling each other by name, one accepts the other person and throws one’s shadow into the other person’s heart. This shadow is not the person, but it is close to the person.

“We have his bilocation in our hearts?”

“Right answer! This doppelganger doesn’t turn into an object compared to a normal person, but has a strong enough power to erode our hearts.”

“I know, so…”

“From now on it’s time to enter the world of divination. That is, the name judgment application method. Isn’t there a method of asking each other’s names for divination? Just like that!”

“Whoo!”

“That’ll tell you what’s going on in that guy’s mind right now.”

“Really!”

“Here, look!”

After saying that, Magic Bell took off the towel that was around her body and wore only a pink panty.

Now Mido’s face was red again.

The only thing the girls could feel was just pleasure.

In addition all five senses were taken away. Unable to see, hear, move or speak, they rolled over on the cold floor.

They just kept sleeping, and every time they regained consciousness, that’s when they were allowed to feel carnal pleasure.

In the darkness of the space, Saint Ruoxi’s barking lips licked each pale flesh.

“Parts” are indeed developing.

It’s almost done. As soon as all 12 mothers are here, you’re born.

The man in black let out a killer laugh.

Right then and there.

He felt as if someone was calling “Holy Ruoxi Barker”.

Magic Bell was lying across the bed wearing only a pair of panties. Muttering with her eyes closed for about half an hour. From behind Mido in the neighboring bed came a beautiful voice.

“Found it!”

White mist could be felt rising from around Magic Bell’s body. It seemed like smoke coming out of hot water, and the concentration was getting thicker and thicker.

“What is it?”

It’s not smoke from hot water, and it’s not fog.

It’s threads, threads that grow out of the capillaries in the magic bell.

“Hey! This~”

“This is Yektopuzm.”

“What is it?”

“I’m not quite sure, but Puzum is the catalyst substance required when a psychic materializes a spirit. The composition is similar to fingernails or hair, but the construction is very unstable.”

The air is covered with so many spun threads that it’s getting denser and starting to distort.

It’s people.

Long hair, proper features, wearing a long coat.

Holy Ruoxi Barker.

Colorful and pure white again, but this is really what that black demon looks like. The beautiful lips were moving. The sound seemed to come from the water.

“Called it out?”

“Called it!”

Magic Bell said.

At some point she had gotten up and stood on the carpet. The threads that covered her entire body were gone, only the strands sticking out of her left pinky were attached to the white demon’s fingernails.

“There’s something I want to ask!”

“Whoo!”

Beautiful jumped on Mido’s shoulder and punched him in the ear.

“Pay attention, this man is the Holy Ruoxi Barker.”

“Ah!”

This is the replica of the holy Ruoxi Vedic man speaking.

“Want to know what?”

“Your attempt?”

“Don’t you know? There are twelve women with men’s sperm growing a fetus inside them. Now there are two more to go!”

Two people, isn’t that one short? Midori thought.

“To be summoned back!”

“So it’s to return the wish to the Demon God.”

“Yes, she is made of twelve parts, and as soon as the last one arrives, she will return the wish, which should be in time for the next full moon.”

“Are you trying to say that even if someone were to try to thwart you it would be in vain?”

“Well, I know that those missing women are there, and I know that the one that was made will be taken there. But you guys don’t know that. And there’s no way to thwart me.”

Midori finally noticed. In front of him was the shadow that he had called out by name when they first met.

“It seems impossible to thwart you. But there is one thing you can state?”

“If I can answer that.”

“Why did you pick those women? Every sign is different and it’s meant to be after sex?”

The white eyebrows twitched a little, thoughtfully.

But immediately laughed.

“That question can be answered. The question is the orientation of the door.”

“Door?”

“Yes. That is the door prepared for the coming of the Demon God. Unfortunately, no suitable one has been found yet. The Demon God must choose a very spacious and ideally oriented location for the door. There’s no choice now but to prioritize the condition of being large.”

“So it is. It’s about orientation.”

“Yes, each person is affected by the land from which he or she is born. Each of the twelve mothers has its own land and orientation. Use this to determine the orientation of the door and the problem is solved.”

“Thank you, that’s all I was going to ask.”

The standing Magic Bell holds Blastoise in his hand.

“Can we go now?”

“Idiot, it’s thanks to you that the final puzzle can be solved.”

The white cheeks were crooked with anger.

“Could it be…”

“Yes, it’s been a day since you said those words.”

The corners of the demon’s mouth split open, his teeth peeled back, and his eyes swelled several times larger than usual.

This is the nature of the holy Ruoxi Vedic man.

Roar! He barked, shaking even the glass windows.

“Could it have been tricked!”

“Yes, hard work!”

After saying that the young girl pulled the wire with her fingers. With a flash of light, the demon’s shadow scattered in all directions and disappeared along with the thread in the air.

The person who answered the phone had of course heard of Mido. Not only the Police Department, but the entire police force knows him.

All his requests were immediately granted.

An officer named Mie initially thought he was playing a prank when he heard his request.

“Ah, could you say that again, please?”

“Please prepare the gun, the bigger the caliber the better.”

“Yes!”

“Castle 454 is best, if not, S&W will do, but at least for .44 caliber. Hear that?”

“Ah~ Yes!”

“Okay, then take notes!”

“That~”

“What is it?”

“There are no submachine guns now.”

“Do you take me for a fool? There was smuggling last week, go get it from the depository.”

“That’s a collection item~”

“Just state my name!”

The Gotham is privileged.

“Got it. Is that all?”

“Yes, and a machine gun!”

“It’s…”

“Try to choose one with good elasticity, good firing range, and have bullets ready.”

“Got it, I’ll repeat it. As big a caliber gun as you can get. Castle 454 or S&W .44 submachine gun, or 357. And a dozen M6’s, a dozen machine guns, any type. Have ammo on hand, too. Is that all?”

“Well, the time is tomorrow morning, and we’ll connect again at the delivery location.”

“Yes!”

Hanging up the phone, Gotou stretched out. Magic Bell was sleeping wrapped in a quilt. Beauty was sleeping on a toy bed.

Turning off the bedside lamp and plunging the surroundings into darkness, Gotou remembered the literary sentence from a movie he had seen before.

And then there’s going to be combat.

Chapter 7: Let’s go.

Taking an airplane would be a pain in the ass for loading and unloading a whole bunch of guns. Although the Imperial Church enjoys privileges, the aviation industry is privately owned, and it is feared that unnecessary gossip will be stirred up.

There’s also the problem of Beauty, who’s a metal robot that will be detected during the pass, which will be a problem.

So the three decided not to labor so hard.

After boarding the first Shinkansen and eating the bento sold on the train, Magic Bell took out her notepad.

“That’s it.”

Repeatedly flipping through the pages, the victim’s information appeared. Last night, all Magic Bell said was that she was going to Osaka, and then she fell asleep.

It’s probably time to explain why now!

“To investigate the place of origin?”

“Ah, but there’s no common ground.”

But Midori immediately understood the meaning of Magic Bell’s words. What that shadow had said last night, the birthplace of the victim seemed to have some sort of significance.

Magic Bell opened the map.

“Still have to try and see.”

Marking the locations on the notepad on the map, you can already get a glimpse of what’s going on before you’ve finished marking them all.

These points are side by side in a straight line.

Kagoshima, through Miyazaki, across the southern tip of Kochi, to Awaji Island, from Osaka City to Shiga Prefecture, then across Mt. Fuji, through Miyagi, and across the sea at Iwate. Against the meridian, it is a line extending from northeast to southwest at about the 45 degree position.

“It’s…”

“The key to the final puzzle is now all solved.”

“Clarification please!”

“Well, it’s one of the summoning laws. Creatures of the fae world. There are special methods. Fae worlds aka creatures from another dimension. Provided its flesh by someone from our world.”

“Like that line thing from yesterday?”

“Basically. But it has to be more sturdy, like flesh. Creatures summoned to the fae world through magic, that is, magical creatures. Now at this point in time it’s like the air of our world, it has no powers at all. That’s why it has to be given flesh so that it can survive in our world.”

“Uh-huh!”

“That’s why the ‘gate’ he speaks of is necessary. It’s the same as being born from within your mother’s womb.”

“Uh-huh!”

“But it can’t be an ordinary door. The size must be appropriate for the size of the demon being called back. What’s more, it won’t work with only the functions of an ordinary door.”

“What do you mean?”

“The gate utilized by man will not work. A door utilized by man would be a door through which mankind’s chi would come and dwell, and through which the people of that world could not pass. Conversely, a door through which a person cannot pass is a door through which a devil or a demon passes.”

Mido had heard of such a thing.

That’s what a friend from the Nembutsu group told him when he was a student.

A ghost passes through a door that no man can pass through.

“And the line is leading directly from the surface ghost gate to the inner ghost gate. The Ghost Gate is…”

“I know, the door that lets ghosts through.”

“Yes, in geomancy divination, this line has evil chi circulating through it. That is to say, if this line is a door, it is a conduit for transmitting evil chi.”

“In other words, it’s the door.”

“But there are doors at other establishments on this line. Why Osaka?”

“Osaka is the biggest gate in Japan.”

The young girl’s blouse was moving. Beautiful poked her head out and whispered.

“Well, and it’s big.”

Having said that, Kyoto stood to.

Waiting in the station waiting room was a fat, short man who ran over to Mido as soon as he saw him.

“Is that Officer Mido?”

The man lowered his voice and said, looking around.

“I’m Inspector Imai of the Osaka Prefectural Police. This is over to you.”

He handed Mido the steel bag he had brought with him, which had a large lock on it.

“Keys?”

“Ah, yes.”

He saw a young girl behind Gotou.

“She’s doing me a favor.”

“Well…”

Mido and Imai sat side by side in the far corner with no one around. Imai unlocked the door with a quick hand and handed him his bag.

“Here’s the key, two pistols, and…”

“No need to explain, hard work!”

“Then please sign here.”

The man took the signed receipt and left.

“That’s the guy on the phone?”

Devil’s Bell came over and asked Midori.

“Uh-huh!”

Mido opened the bag and looked inside.

It was wrapped in greaseproof paper, but just by looking at its shape, Mido knew he had done as he was told.

Mido’s eyes stopped on something that looked like a ray gun.

That’s great.

The two cylinders are connected, and by their length, this is a standard 110. caliber 22 holds a hundred rounds.

“Look there’s this.”

“Great.”

Mido felt excited.

The Shinkansen doesn’t stop at Osaka Station, but Shin-Osaka. The gate that Magic Bell is talking about is near Osaka Station. They don’t take taxis, they take the JR Jaeilai line. It’s not going to be crowded in the middle of the day on weekdays.

“That’s good, you can enjoy it from the tram.”

“Appreciate what?”

“Door!”

The Magic Bell says it’s a bigger door than the Arc de Triomphe.

Mido recalled that he had been to Osaka several times as well, and had never seen a gate like the one Magic Bell had described, and he hadn’t heard of any new construction being built recently.

Mido wondered if he was going to make a move tonight.

It’s the full moon. Ceremonies are held in the moonlight, and it’s all over in the morning.

Less than 24 hours left.

The incoming line is a circular course, and the iron bridge can be seen. The surrounding buildings, which are sandwiched between the river, disappear into the background.

“Look!”

Magic Bell touched Midori’s elbow.

Found it!

Just on the other side, over the parallel red iron bridge, was a gray building with a huge doorway.

The building is over 150 meters tall, I think! There are two buildings on the roof, like an observatory or something.

Mido remembered. It was on the news.

It is the observation deck of the New Umeda City Sky Garden.

“It’s not something made into a door though. But look at the shape, it’s just two pillars, but magically you can turn it into a door.”

That shape is indeed a huge door.

“So it is!”

Midori couldn’t help but let out a gasp.

“Going out through a door that big shows how big that demon is!”

Walking out of the JR station, Magic Bell said to find a place to stay first.

“We have to get ready, and it’s not convenient to carry all this stuff.”

“There’s a coin-operated safe deposit box, wouldn’t it be okay to use that?”

Mido was trying to get to the scene quickly to familiarize himself with the terrain so he could prepare for battle.

But I haven’t checked the contents yet either, and I haven’t loaded the ammo yet, so I’d better listen to Magic Bell and find a place to stay first.

This restaurant is just inside the station.

There were so many foreign travelers that the counter said only the double room with a queen-sized bed was left empty. Mido was a little hurt, but Magic Bell immediately asked for the room.

The first thing you do when you enter a room is check the gun.

Remove the greaseproof paper wrapping the guns and lay all the guns side by side on the bed. It felt like an arms display.

After the inspection it was time to check the ammo and load it.

Magic Bell came to the rescue as well, loading 100 rounds of ammunition into the pointy cylindrical cartridges. These guns were made by mechanics who had no knowledge of arms, just by shooting the basic structure. It shows how good the imagination and creativity of these technicians are.

The last thing to be loaded was a small pistol. It could only shoot 45 caliber sized bullets, which was really mini compared to other large firearms. The length is only 15 centimeters, the same size as an adult’s palm, but easy to carry. The material is stainless steel, the shape is very modern. It feels like a prop in a western movie.

“Seems happy!”

It was only after being told this by Magic Bell that Gotou realized how happy he was.

“It’s like a kid lining up toys.”

“Yes?”

“Well, it’s all done.”

“It does look a lot like a toy.”

Mido knows that guns are toys for adults.

And to that man, the Holy Ruoxi Barker, guns are probably toys too!

Nothing Mido was thinking could escape Magic Bell’s eyes. She patted Mido on the back.

“Come on, it’s not like you’re so deflated before the war even starts.”

She walked up to Gotou and looked at him with a gleam in her eye.

“Have faith in your choices, eh!”

“Yes!”

The remaining 100 rounds were loaded by Mido.

Slender fingers in leather gloves drew toward the sky and all eleven girls stood up.

“Let’s go then, moms!”

The red eyes of the holy Ruoxi Vedic man glowed.

Mido and Magic Bell have their guns on their person and their pockets are fully loaded with ammo.

“It’s best to bring every single one.”

The Magic Bell’s top was loaded with so much arms powerful ammunition.

“Okay, take this one with you too!”

It was a couple of stickers, and Magic Bell had written the word “pop” on them.

“It’s…”

The young girl punched Mido in the stomach.

“It works!”

“That’s OK?”

“That’s right, heavily armed.”

“Yes!”

“Go!”

As she closed the automatic door, Magic Bell said so.

“Go!”

Instantly Gotou finally understood.

Gotou couldn’t help but glance at Magic Bell, who smiled at him.

“We’ll definitely be back.”

“Ah, yes, and we want to lie in bed and get a good night’s sleep!”

“Your hand is going to be my pillow!”

“Yes!”

“Let’s go then!”

There is no way back now.

Chapter 8: Red Eyes

When they came out of the hotel, there was an “Osaka Station Neighborhood Map” on the bus stop sign, and they checked the location of the Sky Garden.

The current location is the south side of Osaka Station. The destination is just north of the station, across from the JR parking lot.

After passing through the Osaka Golf Course, the three of them came to the long underground passage leading to the Sky Garden Observatory.

It’s a red light and they’re waiting to cross the street.

It was Beauty who first noticed the difference. She poked her head out and said.

“He is!”

“There?”

“Just around the corner!”

“Cheat!”

“No, I’m not lying!”

Across the field, that is, across the road, Saint Ruoxi Barker stood. He was mixed in with the crowd waiting to cross the road, and he was wearing a long black coat.

Black’s right hand is moving.

“He’s waving.”

The light is green and people are coming and going on both sides of the driveway.

This road is so wide.

Midori and Magic Bell also walked among them.

The three were getting closer and closer.

The white face smiled. Didn’t stop walking. Mido’s hand reached for the gun in his blouse.

“It’s now~”

This is what the shadow of the holy Ruoxi Barker said the other day.

“Find the last one.”

“What!”

The man in black passed between the two of Gotou and Demonbell in an instant like the wind.

“Miserable!”

Only black backs were seen disappearing into the station.

“Go after them!”

The two men ran past. Ruoxi Barker disappeared into the crowd.

Can’t let him get away.

Gotou’s footwork was much faster than Magic Bell’s, but there were many obstacles. Because he was too tall. Only Magic Bell deftly weaved through the crowd, keeping a close eye on the black back.

“Beautiful, please.”

“Uh-huh!”

Beautiful compresses the air.

“There!”

“Thanks!”

That way there’s no fear of him slipping away.

Midori could no longer see the black back. Even the magic bell was almost invisible.

“Hey, let me through, I’m a cop.”

Finally had to show his police license to drive the crowd away.

It’s no use, urbanites are the most ruthless, no one cares about him. He could only watch from afar.

Eventually even the magic bells were invisible.

Magic Bell chased the demonic man to the entrance of the underground street. The man in black literally slid into the underground shopping street with a slide.

“Magic bells!”

“What is it!”

“Mr. Mido lost him.”

Magic Bell didn’t have time to turn around.

“It can’t be helped, who told him to grow so big and strong.”

Beauty sensed that something was wrong.

But what is that?

“Hmph!”

Midori paused in the passageway lined with coin-operated custodial boxes. He had clearly seen Magic Bell running here just now, but then what happened?

On the left is the exit. On the other side is the way to the hall.

Which way is it going to go?

Just then a station attendant walked in front of him.

“You!”

“Something wrong?”

“Did you see a man dressed in black and a girl this tall walk by here?”

“Huh? That woman just went that way.”

The station attendant pointed to the right.

“Thanks!”

Mido immediately ran over to a young girl crying by the side of the road, but Mido didn’t have time to pay attention to her.

This road is called Sanban Street, and it is a large underground shopping street. There are nearly 100 stores including restaurants, candy stores, clothing stores, electrical goods stores, musical instrument specialty stores, toy stores, and grocery stores.

The access road is not very wide and feels dense, feeling a bit more crowded than the underground shopping street at Tokyo Station.

The Devil’s Bell had been here.

Devil’s Bell glared at the stores as they caused her to be unable to close the distance between her and the man in black. The waves of people were the biggest hindrance.

Beauty rattles in the pocket.

So strange.

It’s always weird, and you can’t have peace of mind.

The man ran so fast, his long coat fluttering.

The beautiful memory is of the man flying through the air defying gravity.

Miserable!

“It’s a trap!”

“Huh?”

“Why does he have to run, doesn’t he go through walls and fly through the air as well?”

“Ah!”

Magic Bell rushed to a halt.

Yes, he didn’t fly or disappear into the walls.

It’s just running.

Why?

He was trying to lure away Demonbell and separate the two, Gotou and Demonbell.

The black dress doesn’t run anymore.

The place where the Magic Bell stands is the north end of the underground street, the resting square on the second basement floor. There are benches and monitors in the shape of dogs.

The Holy Ruoxi Barker stood in the center and turned back.

“You finally noticed.”

Red lips smiled. The temperature began to drop.

The Partridge is so many points of divergence that Mido has lost his way.

Didn’t see the man in black or the magic bell. All I saw back was the crowd that came to stay.

He took out his radio.

“Magic bells, magic bells!”

There was only a murmur of voices, and a man’s voice with a Kansai accent was faintly audible. It was probably because of the taxi radio interference, and the magic bell didn’t respond.

Is it off? No, Beauty’s with her. Maybe Beauty will hear it.

That’s right. They must be on the underground.

The exhaled breath turned into a white mist that froze.

Because of the large space, it was not possible to immediately affect the demon’s evil aura all around as it had done during the first confrontation at the Yume Temple Anchor Store.

There were no people around. There was no crowd around when they were chasing the man in black.

“And still ended up getting lured in.”

Beautifully said.

Junction, enclosed place.

No one is allowed in here.

The correct term should be that no one wants to come in. Even if the Gotou passed by. It would just pass by and not come over.

Magic Bell drew his right hand behind his back.

The black dress quivered.

The cold air turned into a vortex spinning around.

Midori scrambled down the stairs, and people passing by looked up at him.

There are beasts guarding the stairway.

It’s dogs. There’s a dozen of them.

It’s supposed to be a dingo!

Various looks are available and many contain neck collars.

Pedestrians stood watching from a distance.

“Hey, get out of the way!”

One of the biggest dogs in front barked. Because of this barking, all the dogs came running to the front of the stairway. Mido realized something.

Those dogs’ eyes were all glowing red.

Blaustein.

Nice dry cracking sound.

Greenish-white flash.

The hand of the holy Ruoxi Vaishnava drew circles in the air again and electricity appeared in the air.

Barricades!

“Liar!”

Bullets struck by Blastan can reflect the power of the magic bell.

Thinking about the first meeting at the hotel and what happened at the amusement park all turned into a momentum.

But not now.

The anger from the bottom of his heart is enough to give even plastic bullets a shocking power.

“Not making you up, that won’t work.”

“You nasty piece of work!”

“It’s my turn again!”

The Holy Ruoxi Barker placed his palm in front of his chest and emitted light that struck like a flame straight toward the Magic Bell. It was a fireball projectile.

Magicbell jumps guard to avoid the strikes.

The greenish-white fireball burst through the air and shattered on the floor.

Magic Bell raises his gun again and shoots.

“Devil’s Bell, change the method of battle!”

“Why!”

“Run!”

“No, I don’t want it!”

“Stupid!”

The Holy Ruoxi Barker fired three more fireballs in a row.

Gotou gets angry and he raises his gun and shoots at them.

If the dogs are standing in a straight line, one shot can knock down several.

But therein lies the problem.

He didn’t know where the shot would go. Shooting a gun in a crowded area could injure innocent people.

He had to take the gun back again.

The only way out now is to “run”.

There’s only escape, and the same goes for the magic bell.

There’s no other way but to run.

The fireball that had been coming in crashed into the wall. It bursts into pieces on the ceiling.

The good thing about fighting in a boundary is that it won’t hurt the innocent. Otherwise. The Holy Ruoxi Barkers didn’t know how many lives they would have to mutilate again.

“Magic bells!”

“What is it?”

“Where’s the motorcycle?”

Beauty poked her head out, a toy helmet on her head.

“I have!”

“Then start it up!”

“Yes!”

To avoid the next attack, Magic Bell placed the motorcycle on the floor and the fireballs came again.

“You bad boy!”

Magic Bell dodged it very lightly and got on the motorcycle.

But now, probably due to the loss of energy, Magic Bell felt that her body temperature was in the process of dropping.

The whole body is losing sensation.

Fingers paralyzed, the gun slid to the floor.

Unsteady on his feet, tingling all over, unable to speak.

The black dress shook on the head of the magic bell.

“Ha~”

Ruoxi looked down at the magic bell.

“You are so strong!”

“You~”

But she couldn’t move her body and her arms and legs wouldn’t work. The demon looked at the young girl who had fallen to the ground with a sad look on her face.

“Little girl, don’t look at me with those eyes. There’s no need to worry~”

The index finger was pointing straight between Magic Bell’s eyebrows.

“Then I’m off!”

Just then, the sound of a small engine rang out from the underground street.

Gotou kept running, looking back to see the dogs still in hot pursuit.

Had to wrestle with them.

Mido took off his leather jacket and stood still.

The dog also stops barking.

A few meters away, a man confronts the dogs.

Those red eyes do smile.

Prepare to attack.

The Ruoxi Barkers turned around because they heard the engine.

It was the red motorcycle from Magic Bell’s bag.

It’s a model car.

“What?”

Beauty stood in the car and drew black lines wherever she passed. She then starts to draw a circle centered on the Sao Ruoxi Barker.

Devil’s Bell screamed out before the black-clothed demon.

“Pokéredosi Ma Bell Early Southeast and Northwest Look!”

“Miserable!”

It’s a spell to undo the immobility. The magic bell can finally move again.

“See? Ogisan!”

The Holy Ruoxi Barkers were surrounded in a black circle painted on the floor.

“It’s so amazing that you can…”

“Hey, hey, you’re not stupid! If you step out of that circle you’ll go to pieces.”

“So what?”

“What did you say?”

“I can’t walk out, but you can’t attack me either.”

“I’ll just let you stay here until you undo the knot. No one will notice you’re here. Then you’ll die slowly.”

“I see, that’s a relief.”

“Ah!”

“I remembered a way I can cross this boundary and attack you!”

“What!”

“That means you can’t attack me now.”

“What does that mean?”

“That’s it.”

Sanxi Barker slowly grew smaller, his head bowed.

“Huh?”

“Miserable, Magic Bell, he’s trying to escape.”

“Cheat!”

The demon’s feet were gone, diving into the floor.

“Thanks for playing with me!”

“What?”

“I’m telling you, if you want to fight me you have to use your brain first!”

“You!”

The Holy Ruoxi Barker laughed out loud.

“Goodbye!”

Then it disappeared.

Only black circle marks remained on the white floor.

Mido stood on the catwalk and waited for the attack.

The enemy is coming from all sides, and there is no chance of victory unless they are eliminated in one fell swoop.

Some opened their teeth, some kicked, some flew up to attack, and Gotou no longer knew what the target was. Just for a moment there was a bump on the back of his head.

The next thing he did was get scratched on his cheek by a long-haired dog, kicked in the foot, and some biting down into his calf. In pain, Gotou hurriedly made a fist and punched it.

Mido is scarred.

His shirt was torn, his cheeks were bleeding, and his feet were bleeding, but Mido thought he would win.

“Come on, what’s wrong? Is it over?”

It’s not over yet.

They were whispering, but not acting.

“You nasty piece of work.”

That’s someone talking.

Magic Bell climbed the steps and exited the underground street with the large waiting room in front of her.

“Beautiful!”

Hiding in the young girl’s blouse Beauty shook her head straight.

“No way. The evil aura he left behind is too strong, and I can’t read Mr. Mido’s chi.”

“Forget it!”

Magic Bell exclaimed.

“Mr. Mido are you there?”

But no one answered.

The attack of the dogs changed, as if the commander-in-chief had come.

They pick a continuous attack.

After punching one with his right hand, his left hand was attacked by the other. If he kicked, he would be attacked in the foot again, and Mido couldn’t get his balance at all.

“Whoa!”

Ankle bites again.

At the same time two dogs lunged at him, one head in the air. Gotou swung at it teeth falling out and the second head bit Gotou’s left shoulder.

In the distance, I thought I heard someone screaming, a voice coming from the radio.

“Mr. Mido, are you there?”

But Mido didn’t have time to respond, he swung a punch at the dog that had bitten his left shoulder, shattering its eyeball.

“Mr. Mido well! Are you still able to answer? Or are you in a bad situation?”

It’s the sound of a magic bell.

All he said was, “That’s right.”

“Got it, I’ll be right there to help you. Wait for me, I’ll find you.”

Let’s do this, Mido thought to himself.

Adjust your breathing and move your left side.

The outside of the dog pack was packed with people watching. It only then occurred to Mido that he would make the headlines on tonight’s nightly news.

It can’t be helped.

Magic Bell put the motorcycle back in his pocket.

“Magic bells!”

The young girl didn’t answer, she just ran.

“You don’t want to run so fast, you might run in the wrong direction.”

Devil’s Bell simply ignored the stoplight and just ran fast.

“Magic bells!”

“Don’t argue!”

Keep running.

Run!

Run!

“Whoa!”

Oh no, it was too late to think so, the back was attacked again. Somehow the dog had climbed up Gotou’s neck.

Just a second before it was about to bite down, Gotou shook it off.

These dogs attack in a flash.

A black dog jumped up and pounced on Mido’s shoulders, and Mido fell backwards.

Its front feet pressed against Mido’s shoulders.

Only its red eyes and yellow teeth were visible.

Mido’s body hardened and he felt something move around him. The dogs all came towards Gotou, surrounding him and mouthing words.

“That’s it.”

That’s people talking.

“Go to hell!”

The dog that made the noise twitched its ears, just then.

“No, stop!”

It was the voice of a young girl.

Magic bells?

That’s right, it’s her.

Magic Bell raised his gun and fired, and the dog fell down.

“Are you okay?”

Her ample breasts rose and fell so much under her purple shirt, and her white cheeks swelled red with excitement.

The big black dog didn’t move a muscle as if he had a concussion, and the willful senses of the other dogs began to falter.

Gotou jumped up and pulled the young girl away from him, so that she could hide behind herself.

“Well, I’m fine, just a little mean.”

“But I couldn’t find you!”

Shaking his head, the leader of the pack stood up again.

The young girl standing behind Gotou stepped forward and yelled “Kill you all!”

Only the dogs all jumped up.

This is a busy shopping district 5 minutes from Osaka Station.

There was a strange group of people on the road.

It was ten very young and beautiful women in long white clothes. Passersby found it strange and automatically gave way to them.

The women were all barefoot.

Loose-fitting clothes that seemed to be naked inside.

Their eyes were unfocused, just silently looking ahead as they moved forward, smiles on their lips.

The sunlight on the skylight is tilted a bit.

The key to victory in the end of a fight is not in wrist strength, but in concentration, judgment, and instantaneous explosiveness.

That’s what Mido’s late father told him.

It is this one power that can save his life now.

Anticipating the actions of the dogs, Mido rushed forward, believing it was only fair to protect the woman first.

Dogs jumping about in the sky.

“Woo!”

They made a mournful noise.

They kick Mido’s back with powerful kicks.

Open-mouthed and scary-looking.

The shriek of the magic bell rang in his ears again.

“Mr. Mido!”

“…”

But he didn’t look back.

He’s just very serious about wrestling with these dogs.

“Yikes!”

He swung his fist over to hit the cartilage in the dog’s throat.

“Magic bell, that’s the one!”

The black dog’s eyes hung up after being punched like that. A gust of murderous aura emerged from Gotou’s body, and the other dogs all pounced on him.

Magic Inscription!

Quick!

“Shoot!”

Bang!

Blood splattered before his eyes.

The plastic ball with unknown power just hit the black dog’s head hard.

The brain spilled out.

Chapter 9 – The Slanted Moon

Magic Bell put a sticker on the bandage wrapped around Gotou’s shoulder.

It has the word “heal” written on it.

“It will soon stop hurting, and the wound will heal in two days.”

“Thanks!”

The young girl smiled. The setting sun shines on the young girl’s face, her cheeks still sweaty.

The body of the big dog with the skull cracked in front of him moved.

The police had arrived and were questioning passersby. Mido takes out his certificate of detention and shows it to the scrutineer.

Devil’s Bell sat on the right side of the Mikado.

“I know you’re here!”

“Here?”

“Uh-huh!”

“It’s beautiful, isn’t it!”

The young girl smiled ambiguously as Beauty poked her head out of her pocket, shaking her head and laughing.

“The magic bell found it, not me.”

“Not exactly what I found!”

Devil’s Bell was actually a bit shy.

“I don’t know, my feet just carried me around and around and around.”

“Is that all?”

“Well, that’s it.”

“Yes?”

“Yes!”

“With running?”

“Uh-huh!”

“It’s exhausting, isn’t it?”

“Kind of!”

The sun has gone down. That guy’s goal was to weaken their battle force. Gotou was tired, and so was Magic Bell.

“Time to go!”

“Yes!”

Gotou reached out and wrapped his arms around Magic Bell’s shoulders.

At first Tiny’s shoulders stiffened for a moment, but immediately the young girl relaxed her entire body and leaned against Gotou’s chest.

“Thanks!”

“Uh-huh!”

There was no movement, and I really wanted to just go to sleep.

But not when the enemy is present.

Huh? It’s the sound of the magic bell, she’s still asleep.

“Huh?”

Mido’s voice was also sleepy.

“Who is that woman?”

“Which one?”

“That woman from earlier, in the red dress.”

“Purple clothes, I think! There~”

Negative.

The police were just questioning her, but why is she gone.

“How!”

Mido stood up and yelled.

“No, you don’t know that woman?”

“What?”

“No, it’s only gone in a flash.”

Devil’s Bell stood up as well, her eyes so wide.

“Let me see the information.”

Mido walked over to the officer and brought the binder over to him, as did Magic Bell.

The woman’s name is Kirara Kouko.

Born June 12, Showa 45, 26 years old, unmarried, works at an electronics company.

“Mido-san~”

“Ah, he made it.”

June 12th.

Gemini.

A twelfth person has disappeared.

Northwest of Osaka Station.

There are two east-west oriented buildings, and at the top is a 54-square-meter observation deck that can be crossed by a bridge, making it a real garden in the sky.

The escalator goes right up to the observation deck.

The actual building height is 173 of a meter.

The Holy Ruoxi Vedic Man was standing in the atrium, and his features could be seen in the glass.

“Go!”

The black man was followed by the women in white. Between the white and black stood the red son in purple, very striking.

Magic Bell’s special stickers were so effective that the wound under the bandage didn’t hurt anymore.

Gotou stole a glance at the young girl beside him.

Hatsuri Magic Bells.

What an incredible young girl.

She had given him renewed hope, and it was she who had saved him just a few days ago when he was in deep despair from all the frustration he had suffered.

It’s only been a couple of days, and you already know who the killer is and have exchanged blows.

The sun is fully down and the moon appears at 6:43, less than half an hour to go.

The viaduct on the west side of the JR station is dimly lit, with only the lights of the roadside stores on.

They came to the underpass that connects to State Route 176.

What a long way.

The underground was full of people rushing to get off work.

They’re probably going home from those two buildings!

Sky Garden Observatory, a state-of-the-art building.

People have aspired to be able to fly into the sky since ancient times.

The Pyramids, the Eiffel Tower, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Tokyo Tower, and the Babylonian Sky Garden.

People have an attachment to the sky left in their genes.

“Mr. Mido!”

Magic Bell whimpered.

“Huh?”

“I have something to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“Well, that, I…”

Magic Bell took a deep breath.

She made up her mind.

“Maybe I’m enjoying it~”

“Huh?”

“I really like Mido-san, that’s all!”

“Awww~ yeah?”

“I think I must tell you now.”

“I didn’t hear you!”

“Why?”

“Say it again for me when it’s done!”

The young girl stopped in her tracks, and Mido followed suit. The young girl looked up at him, her eyes mesmerized.

“Uh-huh!”

It was so loud, it rang throughout the underground tunnels.

“！”

Looking back, no one was around.

“Huh?”

“Miserable!”

Magic Bell glanced at Midori’s watch and exclaimed.

“Time!”

11:38 pm!

“How?”

“Miserable! Even time is skewed!”

The exit of the underground tunnel ahead had turned into a black, four-cornered hole.

Climbing up the steps, I couldn’t see half a soul, not even a car, only the huge door standing in front of me.

“What’s going on?”

“It’s one of the knots. You can’t see how big it is, but it’s really big. It’s completely deserted inside, and time has flown out with it because of the knot.”

“I can’t understand.”

“I’ll explain it to you slowly next time. Go away!”

“Whoo!”

The two ran forward.

Long hair was blown about, and the cold wind blew against her cheeks.

Looking up at the sky, a bright moon is so beautiful.

Now it’s full moon time, just waiting for guests to come to the door.

A smile surfaced on her red lips.

Gotou thought to himself that it was time. He gasped and placed his hands on his knees so he could support his upper body that was leaning forward.

“Too slow!”

Magic Bell looked up at Midori.

“Huh?”

“It has begun.”

“What?”

Mido also looked up, and the observation deck erected between the two buildings seemed to be caught in the night sky.

“I don’t know, how?”

Beauty said as she stood over Magic Bell’s shoulder.

“The observation deck is moving.”

There is a hole in the center of the circular observatory where you can see the night sky.

“Ah, look!”

“It’s Cloud!”

“Cloud?”

Floating clouds were visible in the dark night sky, illuminated by streetlights.

And the clouds are?

“Ah!”

Crooked!

No, I should say crookedly, swirling to the right, slowly being swept into the center point.

“What happened to that cloud?”

“That’s not a cloud!”

Magic Bell squinted as she spoke.

I don’t know if it’s anxiety or anger.

“The space around us is tilted.”

“Space?”

“The formation of magic formations due to the effect of wind blowing is utilizing those women.”

Gotou’s eyes widened, his tongue tied in speech.

Indeed, as Magic Bell said, evenly spaced skin tones can be seen around the reinforced glass.

It’s the fully nude women, the women who were taken by the holy Ruoxi Vedic men.

“It’s about to be a full moon, and it must be stopped before then.”

Magic Bell said.

“The medium god is coming out!”

“I’ll go over and watch!”

With that said, Mido ran toward the building’s entranceway.

“Mr. Mido?”

“As long as I can help one of them, this magic formation will be broken, I’ll go first.”

Mido darted over. It seemed like a flag was flying, and something fell in front of him.

It’s a black shadow.

It’s people.

It’s a man.

“Wouldn’t it be nice to have a good look? It’s going to be a pain in the ass to come to the block.”

A cold smile appeared on the red lips of the self-white face.

“Woo!”

Mido raised his gun and shot his opponent in the chest.

But it wasn’t the person who was shattered, it was the large glass door at the entrance to the building.

It shouldn’t miss because the target is gone.

The man had moved when Mido drew his gun.

He stood behind Gotou.

But he wasn’t looking at Midori.

“Hi!”

Holy Ruoxi Vedic Man said.

“You’re still here!”

“Of course!”

Magic Bell answered him with a smile.

“Huh?”

The magic bell makes a sound.

“Thinking about what?”

“You know it!”

“Trying to stop me?”

“Yes!”

The Devil’s Bell has made its move.

Take out Brustan, but St. Ruoxi Barker moves again.

Moving at high speed.

“Magic bells!”

Standing over her shoulder, Beauty tugged at Magic Bell’s hair, a subtle angle and intensity that only the two of them knew.

Magic Bell turned on a dime and raised his gun in the other direction.

“What!”

The man in black saw a plastic ball coming at Self.

It was so fast he used his foot to block it, and the off-target BB shattered the glass introductory panel in a corner of the atrium.

“Hmph!”

The man in black smiled.

But right away, he’s caught in an attack gap.

He was hit in the back of the head with a slug. It hurt so bad, it was too late to dodge.

The projectile from Mido’s gun invaded the back of the Holy Ruoxi Vedic Man’s head, entered the skull, and rushed out of the front of his face.

The man in black fell to the ground, the remains of his face scattering in all directions.

“Ah, hit it!”

Midori yelled.

“Mr. Mido!”

Magic Bell’s expression changed from shock to a smile.

“Bravo, bravo!”

Gotou scratched his head in embarrassment as he walked over, and Magic Bell happily patted him right on the shoulder.

“You were shooting from a crooked direction, but it hit because of the reflex.”

Mido still can’t believe he hit him, and Beauty tells him why he was able to hit.

Magic Bell smiled happily and said, Mido-san is so good.

The three men burst into laughter.

But things don’t work out as easily as one might think.

Fu came the sound of someone walking around. The three men’s smiles immediately stiffened.

The sound was getting closer, the sound of leather boots, and I didn’t have to turn around to know it.

“You guys think this is the end?”

Black clothes covered in blood and looking back, a man in black stood there.

“This isn’t a dream!”

“Much like it!”

The lower part of the self-white face was bloody.

“I love this black dress so much!”

The top half is full of red and black holes.

He raised his left hand and seemed to grasp something white in his slender fingers. It was the lower half of his shattered face.

It was full of holes, writhing and leaving the hand. It looked as beautiful as ever, except for the bloodstained parts.

“Not no more?”

“It’s still okay if you wash it before the blood dries.”

Hearing these words from Magic Bell, the two red lips slowly rose upwards.

“Yeah? Then why don’t we hurry up and do it!”

“Ah! Wait!”

Mido has flown out the door, but it’s too late.

The man in black flew at an even faster speed to a height of 173 meters, and Magic Bell could only watch him go.

“Miserable!”

It was only then that Magic Bell noticed that the hour was ticking away.

Looking up to see the clouds blowing in on the observation deck were no longer in their original shape.

It was almost like a swirl, like the swirl that appears when milk is poured into a glass. It was getting darker and darker and tilting.

The man in black then crossed the center of this crooked point and disappeared.

“If only it had been stopped earlier!”

“Hey, look!”

Midori yelled, but Magic Bell looked away.

Magic Bell looked back and remembered how cunning the enemy was. The blood of the holy Ruoxi Barkers scattered on the ground was turning into creatures.

A large lump like a human head protruded from each bloodstain, and the sound of sludge boiling could be heard as the lumps slowly grew, solidified, multiplied, and turned into creatures.

That’s the biome that lives crookedly.

It’s basically full of completely naked creatures, but just weird looking.

The reddish-black gelatinous skin is reminiscent of an animal’s liver.

Yet the dissimilarity didn’t stop there. The faces of these fae creatures looked exactly like those of the Holy Ruoxi Barkers, so to speak.

“Is this his doppelganger? Or is it his child?”

“All of them! There’s no stopping him if he hasn’t cleaned them up.”

“Moo!”

The strange creature at the forefront chirped, and the others chimed in. Their roars were like a strange kind of music, disturbing the ears of the three of them.

The fae swarm moved slowly.

It was only then that Gotou realized what the Holy Ruoxi Barker had meant when he said, “It would be troublesome to obstruct it.”

But the three of them were supposed to be the guy’s obstacles, but instead they created more obstacles for themselves.

“Charge!”

With that said, Mido began to shoot. The head of the creature in the center was hit and flew around as Mido stood in front of them.

“I will stop you!”

“Mr. Mido!”

Mido gave a left-handed thumbs-up.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen to me, I’ll leave the top to you, I’ll take care of it from here!”

After saying that, Gotou felt as if Self was about to cry.

A firm message emanated from Devil’s Bell’s brow.

“Uh-huh! I’m going!”

“Whoo! You can’t lose!”

The young girl also gave a thumbs up.

chapter x. the twelfth she

Magic Bell darted to the east side of the building and climbed up to the third floor in one breath.

Inside the unoccupied building, the lights were on.

Magic Bell ran through the passageway with the vending machines and the waiting room to the corridor. Normally on a vacation day, this place was packed with people, but now it was deserted.

The white hallway, ringing with the sound of magic bells running.

This glass corridor leads to the west side of the building, and connecting it is the elevator lobby. Before stepping into the lobby, the elevator bell rang at the same time.

“Magic Bell, watch out!”

“I know, I can feel the trap.”

Entering the elevator, the door closed behind them.

There was no switch to press either, the building number lights were already on.

It’s the 35th floor.

The elevator went straight up. Magic Bell didn’t want to look outside for fear that if she did, she’d want to go back.

Through the two thick panes of glass, the sound of gunfire could be heard in the distance.

Removing the radio from his pocket and disengaging the safety device, a smile came to Mido’s face.

It was a self-deprecating laugh.

Before that, he was just a mediocre officer in the Crime Prevention Department of the Police Force.

He does have excellent attendance grades and is in great shape, so his future is unlimited. But so what!

Suddenly called by the Chief of Police, suddenly promoted and given great authority. To a posting in Tokyo.

Just in the last hours of the frustration that continued to assail him, he now wrestled with a pack of monsters. He raised his gun.

“Life is funny.”

The bloodied monsters screamed as Mido pulled the gun’s trigger.

The elevator stops at the 35th floor and switches to another glass elevator.

Beauty notices that the magic bell is singing.

“What? You’re still in the mood to sing?”

“No!”

A smile floated across Magic Bell’s face.

“I can think of a song like this. Overlooking the streetlights, the elevator takes you up into the night sky ~”

“Well, it fits in well with the current scene.”

“Yeah? I’ll sing to you when we get back to the hotel!”

“Good, I look forward to it.”

The 39th and 40th floors are the round indoor observatory. There are restaurants, souvenir stores, and a mini theater.

I’ve been here before it’s so much fun, today was my second visit.

The red rope surrounding the guide line connected straight to the stairs to the top, and it felt as if it was beckoning to the magic bell.

Mido shoots indiscriminately as he backs up. There are 1 and 2 enemies ~ 7 in total.

He had fired several, no, dozens of rounds, but still couldn’t subdue them.

While shooting, it was just trying to get them to back up a little bit for a second, but then immediately attack him again in a forward direction.

Like a stone thrown into a quagmire. The bullets just made concentric holes in the ground. The monster that was first hit in the head by the sub-machine gun is now back to its original form.

What a sly one.

The Mikado retreated toward the circular Japanese-style garden to the south.

Counting with the reserve rounds fired from the left hand, 400 rounds had been fired. If we keep sweeping like this, we’ll run out of ammo eventually.

And the enemy would never let Mido have time to fill his ammunition. There were three left for the submachine gun and two for the pistol.

The situation is really unfavorable.

On the square observatory, a circular planter was built around the center of the circular building. It has a metal handrail on the outside and is surrounded by 2-meter-high reinforced glass.

In front of the glass, that is, on the flower table, stood a row of women.

Standing at equal intervals, there were 12 of them.

Magic Bell knew what it meant.

Divide the 360 degrees into 12 equal parts and connect the circles.

“This is the magic formation that the Demon God called back~”

“Yes!”

The Holy Ruoxi Barker was in the space in between. It felt like he was flying.

“Coming sooner than I thought, how are my doppelgangers doing?”

“My partner is excellent.”

The demon’s lips seized into a circle and he let out a whoop.

“He’s relieved you came alone? No, no, what a surprise! I see. I wonder if he trusts you, or if he’s going to give you up?”

“People like you won’t understand my moods.”

“Well, what’s the mood?”

“Angry mood!”

She lifted Blastan, but the Breaker grabbed her wrist from behind.

“No way, girl.”

It was a woman’s voice.

The gun, which was rapidly firing out bullets and air rounds, suddenly stopped firing because the bullets were gone.

Right there in the gap where there were no bullets to fire, someone touched the gun.

In that moment, Mido didn’t realize what was happening as the gun held in his hand was removed.

It was a reddish-black wrist stretched out nice and long.

Mido stepped back, in order to maintain the proper distance from his foe a few meters away, and it was within that distance that a snake-like wrist was suddenly ineffective.

“Hey, stop pretending!”

The 450 fires its bullets. But the enemy moved faster. The silver bullets flew out quickly.

“Hmph!”

Turning around, Gotoh crossed to the hand behind him.

Finally entered the Japanese garden.

Turning again, he ran forward. The constant sound of something heavy hitting the ground could be heard from behind.

Is it just to be pestered?

There are only two bullets left, while the enemy has seven.

Mido’s fingertips touched the gun inside his pocket, and at that moment the gun wasn’t a gun to him, but a creature of another kind.

The purple shirt, Magic Bell remembered.

“Kirara Kouko!”

“No way!”

The woman seemed to have incredible power as she twisted the wrist of the magic bell. Blastan fell to the ground.

“You~ are in cahoots with him!”

Devil’s Bell was unable to move when she was grabbed like that, and just then a demon landed in front of her.

“It’s just about to start now, the call is still ceremonial.”

The Holy Ruoxi Barker raised his hand and made a sign.

The bodies of the naked women gathered in a circle all shook their heads together.

“Behold! The flesh of a demon god is about to be born.”

A balloon filled with water probably looked like this when it was punctured!

Just the flesh made of blood took Mido’s punch and immediately ruptured and sprayed in all directions, like a splash of water being dispersed red liquid sprayed onto the leaves of the shrubs.

The blood strewn about is nothing more than dead tissue.

“That guy is nothing more than that.”

Subduing magic can only be done with magic only. A sticker was placed on Gotou’s blood covered forehead with the word fist written on it.

“That’s great, Magic Bell, that’s fantastic.”

You can’t see it with the naked eye, but something is indeed being delivered.

In front of Magic Bell’s eyes stood a completely naked young girl.

Eyelashes were long, a smile played at the corners of her lips, and she let out a joyful sigh. In the nighttime illumination, her lashes showed unevenly, and it was a woman’s expression.

“It’s on!”

“You were fertilized by a man in the womb when you were called by me. This maiden will become the Mother of Demons, understand?”

“Ah, starting to exhale, quite right.”

The Holy Ruoxi Barker smiled and looked up at the moon.

“Flesh divided into twelve parts, no, is now being reconstructed again as a new creature. Shape, color, shadow, taste, temperature, sound, weight, hardness, skin touch, thickness, strength…”

“So, so you’re the one in charge of the final job?”

Craning his neck to look at the woman behind him, the woman smiled and said no.

“Not me, I’m a Scorpio.”

“Huh?”

“Did you forget your birthday?”

“Liar, is it…”

“That’s right, Hatsuri Magic Bell!”

Black gloves gripped her chin and Magic Bell was forced to look at the man in black. So close, and on the man’s white face was an impish grin.

“You’re only the 12th mother on May 29th, Gemini.”

Beautiful advice is right, it is indeed a trap.

“There really isn’t much point in choosing 11 other people. Indeed this door has an intervening problem with orientation, so it must be corrected. There is also a problem with the conditions for creating a demon. It is necessary to have a man’s sperm in order for something to be alive. But it can’t be concentrated in one place, so it has to be scattered all around Japan, appearing before your eyes on purpose, just to lure you here. Like any other woman, it does take more work to summon you here!”

“Anyway, did you get chased by me on purpose?”

“What do you think?”

Having said that, the man in black was quite surprised in his heart.

“I’ve been wondering if I could win over a witch like you.”

“You! Let’s just duke it out!”

But the Red Son behind him, with his wrist so strong, pressed down on the Magic Bell and couldn’t move.

“It’s no use, little girl!”

“Not really!”

“…”

“Beautiful!”

At this call, Beauty jumped out of Magic Bell’s jacket pocket. A key ring in the shape of a small Japanese sword dangled from her waist.

“Hey!”

Beauty, who had jumped onto Magic Bell’s shoulder, maneuvered nimbly and raised her knife to slash at the left side of the face of the demonic henchwoman who had grabbed Magic Bell.

“Ah!”

Hong Zi touched her face with her hand, and Magic Bell rolled forward in obedience, her gun once again pointing at Saint Ruoxi Barker.

“Don’t move!”

The situation is completely reversed.

But then again, that doesn’t seem to be the case!

“Beautiful!”

“I’m sorry, Magic Bell!”

The demon’s hand grasped Beauty, sealing her weapon with his index and middle fingers, the remaining three taking away her freedom.

“You forgot again, little girl. Is Red all right?”

“Yes!”

Blood oozed from between the fingers pressed to his face, and his remaining right eye was filled with abhorrence.

“Mr. Barker, this doll~”

“Forget it! Such ugly behavior as revenge doesn’t suit you.”

After saying that, Shengxi Barker threw Beauty out.

“Ah!”

“Beautiful!”

Through the reinforced glass, flying through the air. Magic Bell pressed her face against the glass and watched the young girl, who was only 30 centimeters tall, fall from a building that was 173 meters tall, without the ability to save her. Soon there was no sign of the beauty.

“You!”

Devil’s Bell turned back, but she knew immediately that this was another trap laid by the Holy Ruoxi Barkers.

But it was too slow to notice.

There are two more left in the flesh.

The garden was streaked with blood, not only on the trees, the dirt, but even the stone sculptures were stained red and black.

Fighting battles, especially fighting in terrain with lots of obstacles, is exactly what Gotoh is best at.

He and his father were the only two generations of the so-called “Gotoh School of Ancient Martial Arts” to use the fighting arts in actual combat.

Attacking enemies are unable to attack continuously because they are obstructed by thick woods, and Midosuji can make good use of these coverings for defense and sometimes as weapons.

Mido, who has gained the power of the “Blast” magic, does defeat his enemies one by one.

Two red monsters attack Mido from both sides, and Mido backs up slightly, just enough to have a potted plant in the way to stop the enemy on the left from advancing.

The enemy on the right is getting closer.

But the enemy on the left was completely in his line of sight. The tree behind Mido is just enough to thwart attacks from the rear.

As expected of Gotou, the enemy on the left moved first. It rushed in front of them in an instant.

That’s great!

Without looking, Mido swung a punch labeled “Bakugou”.

Bang!

Bang!

Blood splattered on potted leaves and dripped into the dirt.

“Go to hell!”

There’s one left, but Mido is ready.

“Ah!”

Swing a punch while your enemy is defenseless.

Blood flowed out in large quantities like a gush of water, and splattered on Mido’s head.

The downward wind ruffled her beautiful hair, and the atmospheric pressure spread her limbs wide.

She is only 27.5 centimeters, weighs 0.5 kilograms, and is very weak. She can withstand a fall of at least 173 meters.

Okay? Beauty is counting the survival rate. It’s desperate, but it’s not zero.

The white marble floor was getting closer.

The body can’t move, that’s the initial dissimilarity.

“You know what? You and I are way too far apart in power.”

Turning back, she was just in time to see the red eyes of Saint Ruoxi’s barking man, and her five senses were no longer at her command.

She knew she was caught in the enemy’s magic. Without the use of magical tools or the recitation of spells, the man had stripped the magic bell of its freedom.

“Please be nice!”

Just at the same time, Magic Bell felt a wonderful gravity. There was an uncomfortable feeling in her stomach, as if she was spinning like a coffee cup on a playground ride.

But the scene in front of her didn’t change, but she really felt like it was spinning. Magic Bell knew immediately what was going on.

The “door” slowly moves in that direction, and the north-south opening of the door slowly slides into its essential direction, and begins to move towards the ghost gate, which is the straight line that cuts across the island.

People are influenced by the land in which they are born.

Straight line against the meridian at 45 degrees.

A line is drawn from northeast to southwest, with Osaka at the center. A magic formation formed by the women born on this line will be brought to a certain magnetic field.

“You! I know what you’re trying to do! If you mess around like that, such power will cause the crookedness to ripple across the world.”

“Don’t you say that, if you don’t tilt to the northeast, the Demon God won’t be able to get out.”

“You!”

“Quiet! Look, it’s about to start.”

Grabbed by Saint Ruoxi Barker and Red Son, Magic Bell only had her eyes free to move as she looked down.

The Demon God is beginning to be born.

Mido found the rolling of his eyes uncomfortable, it was the time when he had broken into the Japanese garden. Slowly his ankles were turning.

But the object beside him wasn’t moving, but the earth did turn back.

It felt like only tens of seconds.

“Why, now…”

It was a phenomenon beyond his comprehension, but it represented a meaning. It was that the ceremony had finally begun. Looking up at the circular flower stand, it was beginning to change.

In front of the swirling cloud, several lines could be seen, intertwined and complex, as if they were forming some kind of shape.

It was an overlapping triangle with four triangles overlapping at each vertex.

“Magic formation~”

The speaker is beautiful.

“Yes, it’s on!”

“Beautiful!”

At the foot directly in front of the Midori, she collapsed there.

Her arms and legs were twisted and deformed, her clothes were torn, and her metal bones were showing. Gotou quickly placed her in the palm of his hand.

“What’s wrong with you? Is everything okay?”

“I was thrown down by the Holy Ruoxi Barker~”

“It’s too much!”

“Magic Bell she~” “What’s wrong?”

“It’s dangerous, go save her, please!”

“But~” as if something slipped from her palm, the silver liquid dripped onto the floor in order not to wet Gotou’s hand.

It’s mercury, beautiful blood.

“I’m fine, just replace the broken parts. Please, Mido-san, go save Magic Bell~”

“I know!”

Gotou ripped the leg of his pants and pulled it over Beauty.

“Wait for me, I’ll come back for you after I save Demonbell.”

“Uh-huh!”

Midori rushed towards the stairs, he didn’t want to see what changed next. Under the four triangles was birthing evil objects.

The women felt so stuffy, blowing out of the flesh from between their thighs.

That’s the fog.

Flesh-colored mist emerged from between the women’s legs and floated through the air, landing on the solidified demon god’s flesh on the inside of the door.

But what is produced now is nothing more than the form of a demon god.11 Even if the mothers could produce flesh, they would still not be able to survive in the human world.

The one thing that can grant a demon god the power to survive is…

“The final job is up to you.”

The Holy Ruoxi Barker pointed at Magic Bell. Magic Bell’s clothes were blown through, and the mark on her chest was exactly what the man wanted.

“The one who inherits the Witch’s coat of arms, the last heir in the Renri family, you are the twelfth mother, and you will give the Witch her freedom!”

“You!”

“I’ll inject you with essence, so get ready!”

Devil’s Bell’s body was turned upside down, and the second mutation began.

Looking up at the flesh growing in conception, her beautiful face was expressionless, just coldly viewing everything, there was nothing more she could do.

The black-clad devils, the holy Ruoxi barkers are bearing fruit.

There’s a huge internal organ on the inside of the door.

It was a piece of meat, held by several strings, floating in the air.

Watching it get bigger and bigger, like bacteria multiplying under a microscope, there are tentacles coming out. Probably blood vessels or nerve bundles!

The curved white cylinder shaped object that grows over the filth would be the rib cage! The ones extending up and down behind the meat would be the spine.

“Mr. Mido, quick! Go stop him.”

From the running Gotou blood spurted out and dripped onto the white channel, his pants were wet.

Looking up, huge guts, bones, sinews and flesh are growing.

It was a huge mannequin, but a very crooked piece of flesh.

The sensation on the inside of her waist stimulated the magic bell, and the restraints were undone.

But it was no longer possible to fight back.

Because there’s no strength left.

Laying on the floor, desperately trying to fight off the burning sensation created within his body.

Sexual pleasure tickled her tiny body like fireworks, and she knew it couldn’t be, but was incapable of fighting back.

The exposed breasts undulated, the cheeks showed a blush, and the tears that flowed were not sure if they were regret or joy, so Magic Bell could no longer tell.

“Don’t you do that, stop it!”

The man in black looked at her, and the woman standing next to her with only half a face smiled.

I was violated.

Violated by him.

It was a feeling of humiliation, and fear, but yet at the same time a feeling of hope, a feeling that shocked Demonbell.

“Don’t! Absolutely don’t! Ah~ Don’t do this!”

Through her skirt, she pressed her hand against the sore spot.

But it didn’t work, another wave of pleasure immediately swarmed in.

I don’t want to let go of my hand, and I can’t get my hand away from my hand, and I can’t move all five fingers.

“Don’t! Help!”

Something touched her burning cheek; it was the hand of the Holy Ruoxi Barker grasping her cheek, the young girl could realize in a blur.

The white face leaned in, its luscious red lips covering the young girl’s lips.

“Don’t, stop! Don’t!”

Couldn’t help but shudder.

Can’t move.

The creature’s breath caressed his lips.

“Don’t, don’t~ don’t!”

“You nuisance!”

Midori gasped and yelled.

chapter xi – the screaming giant

Saint Ruoxi Barker held his position where he was going to forcefully kiss Magic Bell, his body just stiffened, his eyes filled with shock.

“Even her you want to defile, you’re not human.”

Mido, who stood like a king, was covered in blood from his head to his fingertips.

But the Holy Ruoxi Barkers knew it wasn’t Mido’s blood, but that of the children he had sired, and couldn’t have imagined that things would turn out this way.

He was just a human being, yet he managed to wipe out so many fae creatures.

Yet Mido did stand there.

“Could it be ~ how could it be ~”

“That’s it!”

Midori ran over.

The Holy Ruoxi Barker loosened his grip on the magic bell and raised it in the air to draw a circle.

He’s painting the barricade.

“It doesn’t work!”

Mido yelled and swung his fist towards the center of the circle.

The fist was in the center of the circle, as if blocked by something. A smile surfaced on the face of the Holy Ruoxi Barker, but it was only a momentary victory.

“Oooh, ohh.ohh, ahhhhh!”

While barking, the fist slowly advanced, scattering cold sparks. Slowly and surely, it advanced towards the barrier.

“Stupid!”

“Who’s an idiot! Ah!”

It’s bursting!

The fist that broke through the barrier hit the Holy Ruoxi Vedic right in the face, but it didn’t hit the face, the fist went through the face and went further forward.

“Woo!”

One could feel the nasal cartilage being shattered, and Gotoh added another twist.

Ankles in black leather boots floated up in the air, and flying backwards Saint Ruoxi barked as her head hit the floor and flipped several times.

“Uh…”

“Magic Bell! Pull yourself together! Hey, it’s me!”

“Mido-san~”

Magic Bell held onto Gotou’s hand and stood up. That strange pleasure disappeared in an instant like a dream. But the already wet panties made Magic Bell feel embarrassed.

“Never spare him!”

Devil’s Bell’s eyes were hot with tears. Through her tears, she saw the man in black being helped up by the woman in purple.

Pick up the Blastan on the ground, pull the wrench, and shoot the St. Ruoxi Barker in the head.

“I will never spare you, Holy Ruoxi Barker!”

“Roar! Roar!”

The youth’s otherwise handsome features were instantly deformed, the same as the shadows that had been called out by spells in the hotel.

However in front of the eyes this one looked more vivid and sickening.

Red eyes that flake out prominently, a bloody mouth that splits several times its size, and sharp teeth arranged like needles, as well as an exceptionally long tongue.

Rattling and creaking, the bad guy’s body shape kept morphing. The shoulders got so wide, the nails extended so long, and the back arched like a pig’s neck.

“Little girl! What do you want! You’ve got me like this!”

“I don’t want to see you like this, idiot! I’ll never spare you!”

“That’s it!”

Gotou picked the young girl up as he folded his hands over the magic bell holding up Blastan’s hand.

The body heat coming from the large palm slowly flowed through Magic Bell’s hand and came to support her deep inside.

The evil man in front of me became small.

Didn’t find him scary or terrifying at all. The huge demon god that was now being birthed at his feet had also turned into a short wretch.

Magic Bell noticed.

That’s “magic.”

That’s what “magic” looks like.

Magic is an unsolved science that can never be explained.

This power is shared by everyone, deep down in the heart.

Chest is so hot.

The heat dispersed to the coat of arms and magic bells engraved on his chest all over his body.

The chest he was leaning against was so firm and strong that he could hear Midori’s heartbeat. So fast, but rhythmic, giving a sense of security.

The rhythm felt like it was calling to her.

Magic Bells!

Magic Bells!

Magic Bells!

“Magic bells!”

“Uh-huh!”

“Ahhhhhhhh!”

Holy Ruoxi barked at the people.

The giant’s body was sandwiched between the inside of the narrow “door”.

Unordered sinewy flesh, black skin, needle-felt body hair, a face that resembled a clay statue, a gaping mouth with teeth that grew into the throat.

The bloodshot eyes are scattered to the left and right.

The giant shifted wistfully.

Beautiful can hear the sound it makes.

Get out!

Get out!

Let me out!

All that’s missing is “freedom”.

Given the freedom to do so, the giant would be liberated from the Gate, and would unleash death and destruction on the Earth.

The stench from the mass of rotting flesh spread all around. The earth shook as the giant’s roar resounded through the late night streets, “Please ~ come in time!”

Beauty closed her eyes.

The sound of spreading wings!

The wide coat draped over both hands was no longer a garment.

It’s wings. It’s black wings.

The Devil!

The evil aura blown out turned into a greenish-white fireball. The skin of Kirara Hongko’s face, who was standing on the sidelines, touched the fireball and peeled off.

“Ah!”

Without even glancing at the fallen Red Son, the Holy Ruoxi Barker yelled.

The Black Devil jumped.

Red eyes filled with rage.

Looking with them were Magic Bell’s eyes, so transparent and clear in contrast.

The warmth within the young girl’s heart spilled over into her eyes.

Yet her voice was austere and cold.

“You’ll have your day!”

Woven thin fingers snapped up the slate, just for a moment.

The rumble cut through the night sky.

The flash of light in front of his eyes illuminated the surroundings as if it were daytime.

“Ahhhhhhhhhh!”

The wailing was ear-splitting and rumbling.

“Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!”

Both could hear the earth shaking beneath their feet.

What Mido saw was a huge monster.

You can tell it’s in pain by its screams.

The skin covering the huge body was slowly dissolving, and one could clearly see the sinews and bones underneath the skin in the process of breaking apart.

“Magic Bell! The giant disintegrated!”

“It’s not that easy, people who can make magic spells don’t end their lives that easily.”

A white flash surrounded the Holy Ruoxi Barkers again.

In the flash, its body was beginning to dissolve as well.

The skin of the handsome face dissolved and the exposed sinews flaked away, pressing to reveal what was a yellow skull. The eyeballs burst, leaving only black holes.

Hands that were only bones at this point were flailing in the air.

“Stupid! How can you be so stupid! It’s not real! Ahhhhhh!”

“It’s true!”

Magic Bell said coldly.

Knock!

The loud noise made Beauty open her eyes.

What fell was a huge object.

The alien giants decayed and began to dissolve.

“It’s too late~”

The earth rattled continuously again.

Several times several times several times several times!

The flash suddenly disappeared.

Light becomes particles and scatters across the night sky.

Like tiny fireflies danced in the air, but immediately melted away. The threads tied to the 11 women snapped.

Wow!

The spell has been lifted.

“Woo…”

Magic Bell was about to faint when a large hand held her up.

“Mido-san~”

Gotou gave her a thumbs up.

The Holy Ruoxi Barker disappeared completely.

All I could see was white smoke rising from the floor.

“What is it?”

“Huh?”

“That’s what he really is, isn’t it! Should have called him a monster.”

“He was never on the side of justice anyway.”

“That’s right!”

The young girl hugged Mido.

Thin shoulders shook as Gotou wrapped his arms around her shoulders.

“Anyway it’s all over!”

“Uh-huh! It’s over.”

It was a line that had been anticipated for a long time.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　FINAL CHAPTER Beauty

Mido called the local police to take care of the aftermath, and he and Magic Bell both went back to the hotel first.

Opening the door to his room, Magic Bell said, “I’m home.”

It took an hour to help Beauty change the part.

And then fell back to sleep.

Because it was a double room with a queen-sized bed. The next day they both slept until after noon and woke up cuddling.

Gotou deliberately rolled down the bed in one smooth motion, and Magic Bell blushed instead and hurriedly put on her yukata, while Beauty just laughed from the sidelines.

The TV is reporting what happened yesterday.

Room service was ordered for lunch, and iced coffee and ice cream were ordered.

After dinner, while Magic Bell is in the shower, a package arrives. It’s the local police delivering the gun and empty ammo pods that Midori left at the scene, asking Midori to count them.

After Magic Bell took her bath, it was Midori’s turn to wash.

When he washed up and came out, Magic Bell was sleeping again. Gotou also slept beside her, and so the two slept again until the next day.

The phone rings, waking them up.

This is an urgent order from the Police Department.

At the station’s vending desk, Mido bought the sports newspaper because it was a three-hour ride to Tokyo.

Walking out of the ticket gate, the two of them each confirmed the time of the Shinkansen train they were going to take.

Mido is going to Tokyo.

Magic Bell is going to Fukuoka.

“It’s not that I don’t want to go to Tokyo with you, it’s really because I’ve been asked to send them back.”

The parents of Naoko Aoki, a student at Oita Women’s University and one of the missing persons, are the clients of the magic bell. She has to fulfill a contract to send their daughter home.

“You’re so helpful, the police department will reach out to you.”

“I don’t like that kind of formality!”

“Yeah, me too!”

The radio informed that the train Mido was going to catch was already in the station.

But Mido didn’t move.

“It’ll be too late!”

“Uh~ Yes!”

“Reconnected!”

“Ah~”

Sighing, Gotou raised a hand as if he had made up his mind.

“Goodbye!”

“Uh-huh!”

Magic Bell barely managed to squeeze out a small smile as she looked at Midori, but that smile immediately disappeared.

The newspaper is in Magic Bell’s hand.

“Mido-san~ Hey!”

The paper was unfolded.

The headline on the first page had a line of words written next to a doozy of a photo.

“Modern weird/enigmatic giant chunks of flesh are scientific myths.”

The report is that there’s an official scientific investigation being done on the remaining demonic remains.

“Look! Here!”

Magic Bell pointed to the bottom of the photo, a large crowd of people watching.

“Hey~ this!”

“Uh-huh!”

There was a very familiar figure in the crowd.

A black jacket, long hair, and a fair face. The smile in the photo seems to be challenging Mido and Magic Bell.

The man is…

“Holy Ruoxi Barker!”

The two men exclaimed, facing each other.

“He’s alive!”

“Uh-huh!”

“This is bad!”

Beauty said as she showed her face and looked at the paper.

“Magic Bell, it looks like it’s going to be a long fight.”

“Mr. Mido! What time is the bus to Tokyo?”

“Ah! 3:23~”

“I’ll go with you too. Come along, Mr. Mido!”

“But, but your client~”

“Never mind! Let’s go! As long as that guy’s alive, we’re partners, aren’t we, beautiful?”

“Yes!”

“But back at the police station, maybe I’ll get fired!”

“If you can’t be a police officer, why don’t you quit? Or do we let the guy go?”

Let that guy go?

The monster?

“No~”

Yes. Who the hell is that guy and for what purpose is he trying to destroy the world with magic? I don’t know.

But there’s only one thing we should do.

“Didn’t I say so? I have responsibilities~”

“Yes!”

“Ah!”

“Then let’s go! Make sure you destroy him this time.”

Magic Bell ran out fast.

“Hurry up! It’s going to be impossible to get a ride.”

“Whoo!”

Midori was close behind, and Magic Bell laughed as she ran.

The young girl’s hand held Mido’s.

As the two ran hand in hand, Mido remembered what Beauty had said.

It’s going to be a long struggle.

I guess so!

With that black-clad demon, and with this incredible young girl.

“Ah, yes, Mr. Mido!”

Magic Bell suddenly stopped dead in her tracks. Since Midori was standing just a few steps below her, the two were at the same height.

“I forgot! Forgot to say. The appointment!”

“An appointment? What is it?”

Mido was head over heels.

“Stupid!”

Suddenly Devil’s Bell put her hand on Midori’s shoulder.

Poking her head out, Beauty hurriedly dug into her pocket.

The young girl’s lips kissed Gotou’s lips.

“Like you!”

When she finished, Magic Bell turned around and climbed the stairs again, her face red.

But Gotou’s face was even redder than hers, even his ears, and he stood frozen in place.

Magic Bell turned to him and waved.

“Come on, the car’s leaving!”

“Awwww!”

Gotou looked up at the magic bell, squinting his eyes because the sun was so bright.

He ran and climbed the stairs Tee, walked towards the young girl and moved on to the next story.

Mido took one step on the ladder and didn’t notice a sticker fall from under his feet.

That sticker from that day.

That’s the last one.
