Twenty years ago, the monsters of Kuroka Island abandoned the island and traveled to the outside world.

However, Kakela, Muroron, Hippocampus, and Shiratori remained on the island and continued to fight the Hunger Ghosts. Even when there were only four of them, no one was missing, and they survived for twenty years on Kurokaku Island.

That night, the Hunger Ghosts attacked.

Bai Taiko flies with her wings folded and greets her with depression. Tonight, there is no flying type against the hungry demon, but Shiraito exerts tremendous power against flying type enemies, and without the flying type, the battle can be even more dominant.

Identifying a particularly powerful individual among the hungry demons, Shiraito Tsubaki descended sharply from the sky. Sticking to the back of the hungry demon, he ejected a tube from his mouth and pierced the body of the hungry demon and jumped up. While I was flying, I sucked out the body fluid of the hungry demon from the tube I pierced.

Throwing away the corpse of an exhausted hungry demon, Shiraito Tsubaki identified another seemingly strong individual and attacked them. I repeat.

Hakutai is an ogre of Shioyaab with the nickname Assassin Insects. The actual Sheoiah Abu pulls down his suddenly battered prey and sucks in body fluids, but he can't do that in the middle of a fight, so he sucks them in the air.

In addition, Shiraito Tsubaki is equipped with the ability to repeatedly evolve through repeated battles, coagulate the sucked body fluids, and immediately drain them out of the body. This will allow you to suck as much fluid as you want. And the coagulated body fluids can be picked up later and eaten by the demons.

"Hmmm!"

It was the hippopotamus who roared. The tiny body swelled to a mass over three meters tall. Its head was changed to that of the hippo, and the surface of the body was also the hippo itself, but the shape of the hand and torso was as a person, and it took the form of a human hippopotamus.

There was a kakera next to me in the hippopotamus. The two of them lined up and defeated the Hunger Ghosts one after the other.

There are no more walls in the village. You don't have to. You can't let them break into your dwelling, you can fight them all, and you can't beat the hungry. Instead, a Naruko was set up around the village to signal the attack of the hungry.

After losing a certain amount of friends, the Hunger Ghosts were pulled up.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey."

Muroron cheers with a lingering voice. The three men are always healed by this bright voice.

That's weird.

Bai Taiga was still winging in the air.

What do you want?

"The hungry ghosts are stopping along the way." Near the coast. Usually, things disappearing deep inside the island. "

I usually spend the night in the mountains. In the morning, it disappears like a fog. I've been investigating the hunger ghost ecology at night for a long time.

You're sacrificing people from the outside world again, aren't you?

The hippopotamus, who had returned to his human form, said to me. Sometimes people came from outside, and sometimes they came into contact with demons. Most of them are killed by the hungry at night. Recently, there have been many people visiting.

"It looks like you're fighting a hungry demon." The number of hungry demons was decreasing. Geez... I'm not alone. Something much bigger than a person. It could be a demon. "

"Let's go."

Listening to the report of Bai Taiko, Kakera urged all four of them to move.

The four who arrived at the scene of the battle saw a giant demon with pale, shiny skin who was standing around with his bare hands against several hungry demons. Its back is bigger than any house in the village, but it is well clothed to fit the giant.

"It's so big..."

The hippopotamus moaned. There used to be demons on Kurokaku Island, but there weren't any big demons so far.

I'll help you

"No, I don't even know who he is..."

Kakela jumped out and Shiratori frowned as she saw it.

Kakera beat the one who was about to attack the great demon. The Great Devil looked at it and was surprised for a moment, but he quickly turned back to the battle.

With the help of Muroron, Hippocampus, and Hakutai, the hungry demons were all wiped out.

"Thank you. Who lives on this island?"

The great demon asked in a cool voice that mismatched the horror of appearance.

"Yes, it is."

Bai Taiga nodded.

"My name is Yuyuan [Yu-Gon]." As you can see, it's a demon, but it's also the end of a necromancer. "

Sirijushi?

"He is the explorer of death and life, and he exercises the power of life and the art of dealing with the necromancer."

Yu Yan said to Muroron.

When night falls, will the monsters of the present come upon us?

“Yeah, but once you step back, you won't come that evening. Don't worry after you quit. I don't come every night, but I need to be vigilant at night.”

Shiraito answers Yuri's question.

"Sometimes people come from outside to this island of black tomatoes." Most of them die from a hungry demon attack. "

And, Kakela.

"I'm a demon, though." Isn't it the same as me, the one who came to hear the rumors about this island? There were rumors that there was a power spot, and rumors that there was a strong magic tool. I came to hear about it, but it certainly does. I feel a very strong force from the center of the island. "

"Perhaps it's a... cotton pest"

Listening to Yuri's story, Kakera said with a cloudy expression.

Cottonworm?

"He's one of us." It's Kakela's aunt, and she's my relatives. "

And, Muroron.

"Since the cotton plague was taken away, the hungry demons have become even stronger and their numbers have increased." I don't know where the cotton pest is trapped, but the cotton pest is alive like a stone. That's the kind of demon Kakera and Cotton Hazard. You can absorb the sun's rays, gain power, and maintain life activities even if it's stone. "

Hippocampus explained in detail.

"Photosynthesis. Its absorption rate is increasing, and its power release rate is also quite strong, so it is spectacularly strengthening the spiritual magnetic field of the entire island." The power of a demon is worthy of marveling at. "

Yuri's arms folded and she exhaled a lot.

"Tell me more about this place."

Questioned by Yu Yun, Kakera and the others told about the hungry ghosts and all about themselves.

"It seems that the black persimmon child is the key." You haven't seen her since 20 years ago? "

Yuyuan asks after listening to the story.

"Since then, I've searched the island many times. I went into the cave again and again. But I've never encountered it."

"And the cotton scourge..." I have no idea where or how you're hiding it. "

Shiraito and Kakura said with a sad face.

"Maybe they have the power to manipulate space." There's a good chance they're creating a subspace and lurking in it. "

Listening to Yuri's conjecture, Taiyuan Shiraito felt frustrated.

"It's a different space..."

And, Hakutai Tsubaki.

If we really had the power to manipulate space, we wouldn't be able to do anything about it, would we?

The hippopotamus mouths my pessimistic words.

You can't do anything with Yuuki-san's power?

I can't. I don't remember the spatial manipulation technique.

In response to Muroron's question, Yu Yan shook his head to the side.

"There may be people in the outside world who have that power." Once you're out there, you'll find someone powerful and come back. That's one of the ways. "

Shiraito Tsubaki proposes.

"What is it? It's Kakera." I don't want to go out again. Do you want to knead again? "

"I just refused to abandon the island and abandon the cotton plague. And that's not what I'm talking about."

The hippopotamus teased me, and Kakera told me with a true face.

"Let's build a boat tomorrow."

"Then you can use my ship." But I'd like to do a little more research here. I was also interested in the power spot, but the corpse of the Haunted Ghost was interesting. I'd like to collect more. Just one paragraph and then I'll do it. "

Yu Yan told Kakera that he was going to escape.
