Rokubana's blade is swinging down toward the wood.

An undisputed blow.

A few moments later, it was definitely a blow to Kuzuki's head.

But, uh...

"--Wait!"

Shortly before that, a voice rang from behind them.

Nishino and the others looked back, and there was Tenka Igarashi staring at us with his breath.

"Ha... ha... ah, Sasaka-san, don't kill her..."

"Chairman... why are you here? I thought you were in charge over there."

It was Nishino who asked the question instead of the confused Rokubana.

"I left it to Mayor Uesugi and my father.There weren't any monsters out there.... well, I left Shindo and Shiori on the other side just in case... "

You must have hurried so far.

Tenka walks softly, holding her flank down.

Not as confident as Ichinose, but she is also not confident in her health.

"Anyway, I'm glad we made it... If I had killed her, it would have been too late....."

"Too late?"

"Yeah, she's got a bomb on her."

"Bomb!?"

Everyone on the spot is surprised by Tenka's words.

Even the stubborn Kuzuki seemed unable to hide his surprise.

What are you talking about, a bomb?

If you don't have such a thing yourself, Kushigi will be confused.

"Sir, what do you mean by bombs?"

"It's about her skills.Skill 'Leaving Souvenir'. The worst skill that triggers the death of a skill holder.Rare skill of a high-ranking undead monster, she has it. "

"Brr...."

The words surprised me more than anyone else.

I checked my stats just before we fought.

But I don't own such skills.

"I also confirmed it in the" Appraisal ". Definitely."

"Wait, wait! What's going on!? I don't know that kind of skill?"

Nishino's "order" was somewhat loose, and Kuzuki unexpectedly inquired about it.

"Of course I don't know.This skill was created by that zombie behind your back. "

"Become...!?"

"Apparently Arrogance can intervene in the skill system.They applied it and rewrote the skills of others. "

"Well, how does the chairman know that?Or do you rewrite your skills? What do you mean? "

Nishino and the others cannot hide their surprise.

Where the hell did Tenka get that information in the first place?

Tenka explains to the confused Nishino.

"I was watching Kazuto-san and that zombie fight through the Spirit I summoned in 'Spirit Summon'.Spirits can share not only sight, but also hearing, as the intelligent zombie said.The true power of arrogance. "

That intelligent zombie - Allogantz says the true power of 'arrogance' is to intervene and tamper with the system.

If that's true, Tenka thought it might be possible to give others the skills they want.

It was just before I came here that I changed my mind.

It was when we appraised the zombies who had been sent to us.

The zombies that appeared to them were former residents of the Safe Zone.

It's all about stimulating other people's trauma, such as Nijo, Yoshida and others who were former colleagues of Shimizu, and former city hall employees who died fighting queen ants.

He was a merciless opponent, yet they fought and killed the resurrected again.

Then the fellow who stabbed him suddenly suffered.

Had it not been for Shibata's treatment, I would have lost my life.

When Tokka used the appraisal to investigate the cause, she realized that the enemy's skills were changing into a 'souvenir to leave behind'.

(It's a rational way of fighting... to say it's rational...)

Resurrects a close opponent and chases them with a "Leave it on Souvenir" even if they are defeated.

It's like a devil's trick.

Even ten incenses can't help feeling uncomfortable.

(In other words, it is likely that the real Ichinose and Sasaka are fighting each other with more powerful "standing souvenirs".....)

They are the backbone of this safe zone, including Nishino, who is heading for reinforcements.

It would be worse if they were to feed on the Souvenirs.

In order to stop it, Tenka ran this far.

"... no... that's not so much..."

After hearing Tenka's explanation, Rokubana distorted his face to the enemy's superficial ferocity.

Nishino and Ichinose thought the same thing.

And Tenka shifted her gaze to the confused Kuzuki.

Well, what shall we do, Kushigi-san?

"Ah...?"

"Have you checked your status and understood that my words are not lies?You were just that zombie token. "

……

"Aren't you sorry?Aren't you hungry?Don't you think so? "

……

Tenka reached out to the silent Kuzuki.

"If you think so, why don't you fight with us?Let us help you avenge your death. "

……

"Come on, let's fight together."

Kuzuki stared at Tenka's hand.

Nishino and the others watched the situation in silence.

If she is really on her side, the situation will be reversed at once.

Neither the Wolf King nor the family of the Wolf King here have any reason to fight themselves.

We can even end this battle.

But...

Nooo...

Kuzuki squeezed his last strength and laughed.

"I wonder who's going to catch them!I decided it was time to live like this. "

Beetle sticks out her tongue.

"Was he just using it?Ha! I knew that a long time ago.I would have done the same thing if I were in the same position as my zombie husband. "

Kushigi desperately moves his body, which does not move by order.

Nishino's "orders" are powerful now.

Moving against that order would put a heavy strain on her body.

"After all, the world is a weak predator! The weak are just exploited and ravaged!What's wrong with that! Can I bend myself and beg for my life?Ha! I'll never do such a pathetic imitation again! "

Giroli and Kushigi look around.

I can't move my body in any way.

You can't activate a bomb that you've planted - 'Leave a Souvenir'.

So what do we do?

Easy. Let someone else kill you.

"Fucking dog!Last job. Kill me! "

Shortly afterwards, "darkness" erupted from the feet of Kushigi.

The darkness of swallows, pushes, crushes, and crushes everything.

"I'll see you in the afterlife!I wondered if they could beat zombie husbands! "

Even though he was swallowed by darkness, Kuzuki was still laughing.

That's it.

This time, I was able to live a life without regret.

That alone satisfied her.

She accepted the second death.

But...

"--no."

There, you can reach out.

There is no hope for her.

"Kuzuki-san, you can't do such a suicide on your own."

Warm and sweet scents erode the Tsubaki's brain.

Glitter and dazzling light wash away your mind.

"You are our important 'companion', so please put an end to such a noisy 'darkness'."

"Ahh...?"

Your brain shakes.

It is wrapped in a pleasant floating feeling like fluffy and cotton confectionery and a feeling of happiness that lasts forever.

Oh, yes. Why were you trying to defy her?

The woman in front of me is many times more important than Alogans, who brought me back to life.

"Ah... ahh? Me... why am I impersonating Tenka..."

That's unacceptable.

I have no idea why I was trying to do that.

My brain hurts like hell, no, I'm feeling it.

"It's okay. Everyone has a mistake.Come on, let's get rid of that messy darkness. "

"Hah....."

With a dull appearance, Kushigi turns dark.

"Dear Shika... I love you very much"

"Yes, I love Kushigi-san too.Hey, will you fight with me? "

Yes, of course.

As if the previous words and actions were lies, Tsukiki will obey the words of Tenka.

Nishino was familiar with the sight.

I ran scared of my spine.

"Is that so, Chairman, no way...?"

"Yes, I used Charm on her."

I still did.

"Well, I knew this would happen.In the middle of the discussion, I asked her carefully to "enchant me."

"... hah, ten incense, ten incense..."

Nishino stared at the Kuzuki that was tangled in her arms with an unspeakable expression.

"... did you intend to do this from the beginning?"

"Yes, if that zombie included her death in her plan, it was the only way to overturn it."

"But...."

But it's strange.

It doesn't make sense.

Like Nishino's "orders", "charm" is less effective for those who are higher than themselves.

It's impossible to perfectly "enchant" the Kushigi today, it should be impossible in the Fifty Storms.

Nishino, by evolving into "Heavenly Man" and converting "Command" skills to higher skills, was finally able to make her listen to "Command".

"Oh, is it so strange that I was able to 'charm' her?"

"Yeah, well...."

Why did you do that?

"Fufu, you know that, right?"

Ten incenses of Fifty Storms laid their hands on their breasts,

"--I also 'evolved'."

"" "...!?" "

Not only Nishino, but also Ichinose and Rokubana were surprised at the words.

"I evolved before the raid.The race is the same as Nishino-kun's "Heavenly Man".That's why I upgraded Charm to a higher skill. "

"No, but the chairman hasn't reached LV30 yet - no way."

Declared the level falsely.

If you think so, the Tsuji suit you.

"Yes, I've really reached a level that I can evolve already.I was just looking at the timing. "

"But why...?"

Evolving in advance should improve your stats and skills, rather than evolving just before.Why did you take that risk?

"I was always thinking about traitors and possible raids.If you were a Heavenly Man, who could convert skills into higher skill levels, you would have had enough power in the last evolution, and I thought it would be better to preserve evolution to the brink of our enemies. "

That was a brilliant answer.

Arogantz did not count ten incenses that had not evolved until recently, and as a result she succeeded in enveloping Kuzuki.

"Fufufu, skills are still useful...I can't believe Mr. Kuzuki was so defiant. "

"Ehehe....."

Nishino sweats cold, smiling incense.

Yes, she's good enough just because Cuzt and Liberty are out of standard.

I suppose he hid himself in the shadow of a great existence and sharpened his nails all the time.

It's all for this time.

"Now, the board is covered.The rest is up to you, Mr. Cuzt. "

That said, Tenka stared at the distance.

Now that the Monster Kushiki has turned around, only Allogantz remains.

The time to settle was approaching.
