Puppets (knights) placed under the control of Joseph chasing the fleeing Sakurai.

The middle-aged man in the center, a knight with short reddish-brown hair and a rich moustache, muttered while biting his anger.

"'Doll Transformation (Morphing)', 'Doll Combination (Fusion)'"

Behind them, the puppets, dismantled by Sakurai and Ayako, move as if manipulated by a thread falling from the sky.

The slashed limbs float in the air, and once the head is crushed into a clay-like meat mass, the torso is attracted and mixed together.

A beast was born.

One of Joseph's pre-designed puppet formulations for battle.

The four legs are made by tying together the limbs of the person, and the mouth opens to avoid the front half of the body like a meat bag instead of the head.

The metal armor that was taken in with the body was arranged in an orderly manner in the mouth, and it was not lacerations that were created by biting, but bruises, fractures, and bruises.

"Go, eat that man."

The beast reacted to the order without turning its gaze, quickly overtaking Joseph and the others, catching up to Sakurai and jumping.

Hmm? Yikes.

Sakurai, who was supposed to be pointing his back, suddenly reversed his body just before the beast jumped.

It moved without a doubt as if it understood the timing of the attack, and in a forward leaning posture as if it were falling to the ground, it rushed out a sword that it was holding as it slipped under the beast's belly.

Slashing quickly wipes out the power of the beast's four-legged mower, leaving the torso kicked and placed as an obstacle on the Knights' path.

A series of movements, its vibrant hand, amazed Joseph, who was filled with anger.

At the same time, he regained some calm.

"(--Have you read the movement?)"

The beast-type doll was used as a preset, but I don't remember showing it to Sakurai. Also, I don't remember leaving any information in past records.

However, Sakurai's movements clearly corresponded to those known. Joseph's observation eyes as a researcher and engineer, who is not a warrior, see through it.

Joseph strikes to confirm his suspicions.

This time, the rose beast's limbs were split even more finely, and several small birds were created and flown from there.

Small birds cannot fly long distances because they are more difficult to maneuver than four-legged beasts, but they are often used in short-range tracking and field work.

It is also a form that can sometimes strike as a sharp gravel by plunging against a target and applying further deformation along the way.

[Puppeteer-]

This time it's a bird.

The moment the birds caught up with the Sakurai and tried to launch an attack from above. The threads released by Sakurai slashed the birds one after the other.

Moreover, it was not just amputation. Of the several birds that Sakurai kept in sight with horizontal eyes, only the birds that Joseph tried to "turn into dolls" to attack were cut off in sequence.

"(Definitely, he knows me, that garbage filth!)"

I don't know the reason or the source, but Hidetoshi Sakurai knows more about himself than I thought.

Rather, based on the fact that the intention to attack was taken away and counterattacked, it may be said that it exceeded the level of "having information (knowing)" and "being understood (knowing)".

Even the anger that was burning was even greater.

Even though she knows little about Sakurai, Atyrau understands herself at a high level. The fact that she understands herself at a high level is creepy, and the madness makes her angry.

Understanding of others is acquired in the process as the bonds between each other deepen.

Therefore, understanding always occurs in a "reciprocal" way, and for Joseph, who did not even have one of his friends in his life until now, it is nothing but "parent-child bond".

Understanding is output from parent-child bonding. In other words, understanding is the proof of parent-child relationship.

The fact that it is done unilaterally presents one possibility in Joseph.

It is possible that Hidetoshi Sakurai is a illegitimate child not recognized by Joseph Asanaga.

"No!!! That's not true!!!"

It is natural.

However, the fire of anger overflowing with unconscious love for Joseph's family and the touch of his symbol, Caizi, strongly heated his flexible and cold brain like the original water.

His head thus boiled down, drawing out strange and strange thoughts. By the end of the day, I was in a state of confusion with a lot of anger.

Really, even though I was thinking decent for a moment, I got it back, which is equivalent to a grain of ice put in a boiling pot.

When that coolness melts and disappears, only the brain in a completely boiling state remains.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait! I'm confused! It's confusing, calm down, don't think about it, don't think about it!"

If you don't have the art of consciously controlling anger, the word "don't think" becomes a curse on yourself.

The more you say "don't think" to stop thinking, the more you become aware of things you want to ignore.

Therefore, Joseph strongly reinforced the persuasiveness of his possibilities with his "assumptions".

Therefore, what is derived is a supernatural theory that ignores the concept of time that Joseph has been spending.

Sakurai can't possibly be judged as a "bastard child" simply by coping with Joseph's attack based on original knowledge.

"(You have to kill me! This man! More, definitely, definitely!!)"

First of all, Joseph's child is only Caizi, and he does not want his son, nor does he remember the fragment that created it.

Secondly, if the possibilities were true, there would be a situation where the son would plunder his beloved daughter, and so on.

However, if Sakurai was a bastard who he did not recognize, it would be difficult to learn more about Caizi and himself, to understand why Caizi, who had become immobile, could operate independently, and to understand why she was defying herself.

Because I am a bastard, I know and understand Ayako and Joseph unilaterally.

Because I'm a bastard, I can add my hand to the Caizi created by Joseph.

It is because I am a bastard that I can blow what is never in Caizi, put it under mind control, and take hostile action against Joseph.

The point and the point are bound by a line. I tied something that I couldn't tie.

Are you insane? Of course not.

However, in addition to the distorted idea that a high level of understanding of others can only arise from the bond between parents and children, as a result of being touched by upside down and swallowed with enthusiasm by sanity and calmness, from the side, it seems that the muscles that have not passed through are also somehow connected in Joseph.

And while deriving the possibility that Joseph will not be able to resolve the state of confusion, he is strongly determined that he will not be able to admit it.

It is natural that Joseph does not remember creating Sakurai, nor does he remember holding a woman during a period when he had a physical body.

However, since you have found that it should not exist without confirming it, if you do not provide yourself with a reason to deny it without a possibility, the possibility will cling to the corner of your head. It is grief as a researcher.

Therefore, he vows to kill Sakurai in order to deny the 0% possibility, in addition to the fury that Ayako put in his hand.

By murdering Sakurai, it makes its existence a "thing that never existed."

If there is nothing left in the body or in the memory, it is synonymous with non-existence.

"(That's why we have to make a doll to kill him even stronger and more thoroughly...!)"

Joseph devises a doll to kill Sakurai.

He understood in his chase that his opponents were heading towards the cathedral, and he knew that they could not get out of the barrier, even if it was a paranormal spire, from the way they had entered the barrier surrounding the cathedral.

In other words, the opponent's aim was to intercept it. He must have chosen the cathedral as his battleground.

I didn't mind loosening my legs a bit as long as I knew where to go.

Joseph decides to spend the time he needs to catch up on the means to kill Sakurai.

Without knowing it, Sakurai and the others widened their distance and disappeared into the cathedral.

Joseph saw off his back, and the next time he saw him, he was convinced that it would be the last battle for each other.

As a result of touching a person's upside-down, he discovers the possibility of a bastard child and swears an absolute murder on that basis.

It may be called a cherry blossom-like karma when everyone lands in such an unexpected diagonal situation.

Around the time Joseph Asanaga followed Sakurai into the cathedral.

After confirming that the [Phaseolus Crystal Ball] that Iris kept holding like an amulet had broken apart alone, the female knight in the same room...... bound Joseph's dormant doll and rushed out after eliminating the remaining dolls in the hospital.

And Iris straddles Freon, who whistles through the sky, and she and her artificial celestial horse overlook the city with the cathedral at its center.

…………

Cathedral of the interior of the barrier. Two 'enthusiasm' burning there.

Apart from that, a small "enthusiasm" dotted around the streets stretching from the center of the cathedral.

Iris was convinced that the little 'zeal' belonged to the doll under Joseph's control.

She doesn't know the art of [doll act].

However, as the niece of Anubis, the god of the underworld and the goddess of souls, she has a deeper understanding of the existence of the "soul" than anyone else in this world.

Although it is unable to be verbalized and is equivalent to instinctive understanding due to memory deficits and the decline of intelligence due to infantile regression, Iris noticed that his soul was contained in Joseph's puppet while observing it without being told by anyone.

"(One of the" enthusiasm "of the cathedral is the usual Sakurai-san. The other one belongs to Joseph Asanaga, and the same" zeal "is everywhere."

The scale of the demonic eye depends on the intensity of the [enthusiasm] and makes Iris feel the heat.

And just as there are differences in the type and direction of a person's enthusiasm, there are differences in the enthusiasm she feels.

"(The heat of the soul propagates. If there is any connection between Daiyuan and Omoto, the soul that has no will can also be subjected to heat)"

Iris naturally performed personal identification by capturing [enthusiasm] and tracking techniques that stained her body even if she tried to lose her memory.

Hin?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Freon, I let my selfishness keep me company."

"Hin, hin, hin, hin"

Iris apologized as she gently stroked her horse's back as it squeaked with its silver wings.

"Aiko's Crystal Ball" handed over to Sakurai.

When the crystal ball shattered, I was told to act as Iris wanted.

Perhaps that assumed that Cordelia-san's safety would be ensured... that is, that she would be evacuated with the Holy Maiden.

Even though I'm acting alone like this.

Cordelia's surroundings were cleaned up, and she told me why and got permission to do it, but the goodness and seriousness of the roots made her feel backward.

"- I'll go, Mr. Freon!"

Hiheen!

Disgust, hunger, eight strikes, self-satisfaction, personal anger.

The enthusiasm that dwells in this heart is ultimately selfish, and it is not something that can be said with an open heart.

Still, she decided to move.

Someone is crying out in the depths of their hearts, saying, "You mustn't forgive that evil, you mustn't forgive anything beyond the line."

That's why Iris ran into the sky on the back of an artificial Tenma (Freon). Go crush Joseph's puppet lurking in his city.

First, we'll crush them from the south!

The heat of the soul propagates. People are exposed to someone's heat.

It certainly applied to Iris, who was always honest with her heart about the heat she felt.

That is why she, who was exposed to the heat, also moved to her heart honestly and thoughtfully.
