His new name was Senior, and he couldn't get to know his boss, Ning Komori.

He was the type of man I'd never seen before.

It doesn't usually seem strong, and there are places that are missing. You look somewhat of a weak type. It doesn't matter what you think, such as the episode where you talked about stunts being about to be Bang Grade 3 in the Metallica interview exam. I may give instructions to myself or Tsurugi, but I can see that it is impossible to do so.

While such a man, he has an unusual track record of defeating Dylan, the first Rocks, defeating the superman beetle of science, and subduing Harrison.

At first I thought he was a very lucky man. I suppose it does, too. He is the owner of strong luck. But maybe that's not all I've been able to figure out lately. One thing is, would a fierce man like Tsurgi swear allegiance to a man who's just lucky? And that demonic look you show sometimes, that's one thing.

Maybe he's a great guy. I was feeling that way.

Also, apart from that. Some things are strange. I didn't think I would ever go for a drink with the boss of the company. It was a new name, but before this, I wondered if I could go somehow.

That's weird, too. No, you were just happy to be praised, and if you say so, I can't deny it, but I'm not proud of my new name. My academic achievement was excellent due to the prior principles. It's not the first time I've been praised for anything.

"... weird people, right? I knew it."

What I think came out of the mouth of my new name. It's still weird.

Ning had gathered 50 human beings from the General Affairs Division of the Okinawa branch from the first part of the afternoon. I don't have any space in the branch, so I bother renting the auditorium.

What are you going to talk about? That's what I heard, but he didn't even tell me his new name, Anis, or Tsurgi.

"Kind of. I'll tell you when it all goes well."

I was told with the faint smile of an example. I was curious, but I couldn't ask any more because Tsurgi, older than anyone and more capable of fighting, said 'I know'.

"Mr. Anis, what are you talking about?

The new name shook the subject to Annis.

"Sa? But I think it might be something bad."

Speaking of which, I'm not sure about this Mr. Annis either, I think that's how his new name is.

Everything looks like an amazing big girl. And she's such a beautiful girl. I've never heard of age, but maybe five or so below my new name, about a high school student.

Running off and tea-eyed, she's like a fairy, apparently obsessed with seniors. Once you ask which one you like, it's because you're a very bad guy. Yo! And when I was answered with an unrelenting smile, I came.

"Hmm... that's a long time... It's been about half an hour, hasn't it?

The new names were waiting for the end outside the auditorium.

"New name. It's what the boss does. It always means something. Give me time and I'll know that. If you're a man, you're not soaking up. Ugly."

"Heh."

This guy's crazy too, he's going to get hungry or something. I know you're older than your senior, but this is it, Samurai, you. Mafia, wasn't it up there?... I'm the most normal...

It was when my new name thought that way.

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!!!

Such a voice, a roaring voice, was heard from the auditorium. Not one or two voices. Everyone in the General Affairs Division? It also sounded clear to my new name outside the auditorium. The air trembles loudly. What the hell is that?

It wasn't a scream. That sounded like something, something I've heard in the movie, a roar of warriors trying to fight.

After a while, people from the general affairs section came out of the auditorium. Guys, it looked like it would be exciting to do it.

After a while more, seniors, Komori Ning people came out.

"Oh, I'm sorry. It's over."

"Good luck. Boss."

"Thank you. I'm sorry you had to wait. Now, to explain the next operation..."

"Is that it, seniors? Collar?"

The new name came back. I noticed something like a metal collar attached to the Ning man's neck. I remember seeing it somewhere, but I can't remember.

"Oh, collar. I've been wearing it for the next month or so, but never mind."

"... ha"

I had no idea what the new name meant.

In the morning, a week after he gathered the members of the General Affairs Division in the auditorium to talk, the Nings were in Setami Island, a remote island where Santa Ana appeared most recently. Stop the light van on the shoulder and wait for time.

Setami Island is a place where you can cross the bridge from Okinawa's main island. After that battle on the beach, it was Seto Island that Santana showed up next after breaking a period of silence for a while. One person was harmed then. Because the same area is often attacked again once there is a raid, the Islanders of Seto Island are leaving the island and bridges crossing to Seto Island are prohibited from crossing.

but it can be easy if you want to go.

Though there didn't seem to be a single lover but Ning people who wanted to go.

"Hey, I've been waiting."

The Ning people greeted their visitors, remaining stuck on the bench in front of the shop, where there was only one on the island.

"... cuckoo... cuckoo... omae..., anotkino... tsyokimono..."

It was Santa Vana. A tough giant covered in scales leaned against the Nings.

"I'm the strong one? You can do lip service. You guys. I'm just a villain."

Though he made room, the Nings were even frightened until this time came. I was scared. I couldn't wait to be scared and scared.

But if the time had come, the tremor would have stopped.

It has always been the same. Apparently I'm the type to reopen for a purpose. Ning continued his words while he thought so.

"I was jammed by a bloodthirsty hero then.... Oops! Don't attack me! I'm scared. I'm gonna chill. Listen to me before you do, because it's easy enough to kill me whenever you want."

"... cuckoo, cuckoo..."

A strange man who speaks to himself twice. Maybe that's what I saw in Santa Vana's eyes. They didn't attack right away. But we haven't solved the offensive yet.

"... right. It's too mushy for you to listen to me right away. So I brought you presents today."

Ning says so, opening the trunk of the light van that was stopped on the shoulder of the street.

"Kuko!?

The light van has about five tied humans rolling around. Guys, there's breath. He seemed alive.

"If you are, you are collecting human souls. I'll do it. Even so, I belong to a slightly better known organization of evil. There's no such thing as preparing a human being."

A cold sweat tells me on my back, but I can't put that on my face.

"You're not talking bad. I don't know why, but Ramone will come when you fight. Does the power of the Spirit have the ability to sense you? Otherwise, there's no reason why Ramone could have prevented the attack so many times before. It could come while we're talking like this."

"... na, ze. Conoyona."

"Easy. I don't want you to kill me. So don't attack me and my people. Instead, I give you regular living humans. In line with the frequency of your raids."

……

A lonely island with no one else. The talks between the villains and the monsters proceed.

"You're not talking bad. Even you save yourself the trouble of attacking people and taking souls. Besides, if Ramone interrupts you along the way, you'll lose count again."

"... cuckoo... michaeli... ha, soledake, ca"

"In return? Oh, well, let me hear it at last. No, you can just snort at me. Don't be so vigilant. Again and again, if you guys care about that, it's a flash to kill me. Besides, what's the downside of telling me what's going on?

Ning decided to go into the 'hypothesis' answer match. Fortunately, they seemed to understand this language almost entirely. I had trouble understanding because the answer is one word, but I just have to put up with that.

The purpose of collecting souls is to regularly reinforce your stronghold, which I call the 'Castle', right?

You were right. Originally in the undersea ruins of the example, Santa Ana apparently had to move its stronghold after the ruins were discovered. But it seems that their newly built base, the Undersea Temple, needs to replenish a person's biological energy to maintain it. There seemed to be plenty of energy where it was originally based.

Either way, he says he dedicates the energy he saves to the temple about once a month to maintain his new base.

You only get up to 10 more. Didn't I?

This was right, too. To coexist with nature, for a strange reason, but they are by no means more numerous. Unity becomes the leader and protects the race. Gather your soul, dedicate it to the temple, and live as a seed. I can increase the number of seeds by up to 10 if I have time. The only time long lives they reduce that number is when Ramone knocks them down.

"... well. Okay. That was pretty much what I expected. Then nothing risks attacking a human being. I'll get it to you. If we don't fight Ramone, we'll get more of them soon, won't we? 'Cause it's not gonna decrease."

"... Oma, E, Itai, Nan, Nanda?

"I told you first. He's just a crook."

Ning people make me laugh.

"I don't even think about offering a human being. I'm fighting to protect everyone. For Ramone, it's as evil as you should defeat him. Bad guys, let's get along. I don't want to fight you."

It was a dialogue I've been thinking about for the past week.

Santa Vana and the others often thought about it, but eventually

"... Wakatta. Omaeha Osovanai"

So he answered, taking away the soul of man who was bound in the light van, and they walked away. They've been deprived of their soul, their biological energy, they're laid back. I seemed to be asleep.

After Santa Ana and the others leave, Tsurgi and his new name rush up.

The Ning sat unexpectedly out of relief. Apparently, she lost her hips.

"Boss, how was it?

"... for once, it worked. Uh, I was scared. I was really scared. I thought I was going to die. Give me your new name, blanket, bag like that. - It's cold. It's freezing."

When I finished, the tremor hit me back. Annis wasn't calling because he knew this was going to happen. Because it's embarrassing.

"Senior, are you serious... You seem so intolerant."

"... right. Forgiveness, no, no."

The new name seemed fearful of Ning's behavior. I offered Santa Ana other humans for myself. I guess that looks like an act of nothing but evil, and it does.

"Uh... what do I do with these, soul-deprived people?... maybe... I'm a bad guy, so... or something, maybe..."

The new name asks me in a tone that I said was terrifying.

"Oh, those people are being transported to Metallica's life-saving equipment. I have an arrangement."

"? Oh, I will. Oh, good. I thought you said throw it away in the ocean.... Huh? But life-saving equipment? What?"

"What are you talking about? You. Throw it in the ocean or something, that's just stupid. It's not evil. I only do what makes sense."

"?? Huh? But that? Meaning... what?

"Uh... sayin '. I was really scared. I don't want to do it again..."

I know what you're trying to say about your new name. but I can't explain it now.

Now.

Ramone and Santa Ana will make me kneel. Until then, I can't explain it to anyone.

Wrapped in a blanket, trembling like a chihuahua, and still.

The Ning people's malice had not lost any shards either.
