Dogama seemed to have killed Gonzo lightly, but she wasn't weak...

They also attacked using their powers, and swordsmanship itself was at a fairly high level.It's just that Gonzo's tactics got me into a battle where they all looked pointless.

Dogama didn't know much about Gonzo who threw away sweetness.For Gonzo, who survived three years of pure murder as a monster, adversity is the norm.Provoking someone who instinctively understands the essence of strength is a foolish act that you realized just before you died.

However, Dogama was a fool, but she was quite capable.If I had been dealing with him, I would have crossed a pretty dangerous bridge.

Even if you possess a higher power than such a man and leave the degama here, it is judged that you can proceed with the later plan, so it can be inferred that Garak also has a considerable amount of skill.

He's taking more power than his opponent, and now he's stealing more power from the Magic Eye.Very dangerous opponent if you think of overlapping abilities.Even Gonzo today is more likely not to win.

"I think it's dangerous to go like this before you see someone like that.So, there's one thing I'd like to try.

If that works, we may be able to remove what is tied to Gonzo. "

"From now on...?"

"Yes."

If you can do what Sakura says, it will be possible to greatly enhance Gonzo's power before fighting Galak.

Of course, it's worth a try.

"Just...."

After that, Sakura-sama raised her eyebrows slightly and made a subtle expression that could not be said.

"In order to do this, we need to use cherry blossom eyes (Ouran cancer), so we really need to touch Gonzo's heart deeply."

……………

Next, it's Gonzo's turn to be a subtle expression he can't say anything about.

"Doesn't matter, does it?"

However, Sena stared at both of them.

Hee?

"I mean, these three have been together since I was a little girl."

Sena takes her palm to her knee.I don't think it's that small for a boulder, but... it's a metaphorical expression, so let's keep it quiet.

"And what do you care now?You don't have to worry about that. "

Sena is serious.I can't say we've been together for a long time, but I know how long.

"... fufufu. That's right, Sena is right."

Sakura-sama laughs when she says so.

"That's true. Not now..."

"Dear Gonzo."

"Oh, thank you."

"Yes."

With Sena's words hanging, the two face each other.

I'm a little... worried about Gonzo's feelings towards Sakura-sama...

If Sakura-sama touches on that... what does Senna think?

I asked Sena with a small voice so that Gonzo and Sakura could not hear me.

"Sena, are you okay...?"

Sena understands exactly what my words mean and makes me look lonely... a little embarrassed.

"... yeah, I'm fine.

I can't say that right now, and... "

Once again, Sena smiles in trouble.

"I like sakura gonzo... that's why."

"... I see..."

Sena has arrived for a long time on a journey to collect Shiki Hua.

There was no intention, just a pure desire to help my best friend.

I think it's wrong for me to stick my neck in their problem any longer... but I can't.

Love without asking for anything in return is beautiful, but... it's beautiful, so it doesn't come true.

I want to say something, but there's nothing I can say.That's... painful again.

"Now... here we go."

Once Sakura-sama opened her eyes meditatively, a pattern resembling a cherry blossom appeared in her eyes, glowing cherry blossom color.

"... it still seems that Gonzo's powers are tied to something."

Sakura explained the situation while looking around Gonzo's chest.

"What is this...?!"

Sakura-sama seems to have touched something and somehow looks sad.

"... Mr. Gonzo."



"I think it is perhaps Gonzo himself who is holding this power back..."

"Myself...?"

Gonzo looks at his body and looks strange.I don't think so.

In fact, Gonzo has thrown away sweetness and gained strength.

"... Gonzo... you've been holding yourself down so that you don't become a demon...?"

"Huh?!!"

Gonzo's face turned into a surprise.

"... I'm sorry to make you act like you're treading into Gonzo's heart..."

"No...."

"That sort of thing..."

Sena understands something.

"Gonzo has been around for a long time.

At first, to protect myself, since I met Sakura, I have waved my strength for the people I care about.

But Gonzo always looked spicy when he waved.

We've always known each other. "

When Gonzo was called a demon, he was exposed to a lot of violence.

That's why I know all about the fear of violence and ugliness.

Fear and ugliness. It's the devil who has it.

I mean....

"Those who easily spread violence to others... are evil..."

Hurt people, kill them. Gonzo thinks that those who can do such things easily deserve to be called evil demons.

That's why Gonzo has tied himself up so that it doesn't happen.If we can, we've tried to solve it without hurting and killing.

With an uncontrollable anger, it looked like I had mercilessly killed Dogama, but still, in one corner of my heart, I don't want to be a demon... that's how I feel.I think so.

"... you've come this far, and you still have a lid on you..."

Sakura-sama was injured and the lid was half open.But it wasn't completely open.

It must have been to open the lid of the words and kill the emotions...

"... I can't let go of love yet... pathetic... I have to kill my heart even more..."

Master Gonzo grips his fist hard.

"No, Master Gonzo."

Sakura-sama gently touched her fist as the color changed.

"Even if you kill your heart, you can't undo what's tied up."

"Really...?"

"Gonzo can't do that in the first place."

"... but killing people with your heart... is no longer evil."

"Gonzo will never be a demon."

Sakura blocks Gonzo's words with a serious face.

"Hmm?!"

"If you make a demon evil, it's not the mind itself.

I think it's how we use our power, what we use it for...

Gonzo is more able to grieve and regret it than anyone else when using his power.Even if the world turns upside down, such as it turns into a demon.

Both I and Senna have been watching Miss Gonzo.So I can assure you with confidence.

Gonzo can never be a demon in a real sense. "

Senna touched Gonzo's hand from next to Sakura with a serious expression.

"Gonzo is really stupid.

You think evil spirits are trying to help the underprivileged?You think I'm angry enough to forget about myself for someone else?Do you think I'll keep my head down for a year at the gate? "

"Oh, I..."

"We've been looking at it. About Gonzo."

Sakura-sama has always believed in Gonzo.

In the same way, Senna has been watching Miss Gonzo much closer.

These two words cannot reach Miss Gonzo.

"You still can't believe what Sakura and I are saying?"

"... no. Believe me. Even if I can't believe myself... I can believe just the two of us."

The moment Gonzo uttered his words.My spine was stinging.

Suddenly, directly beside him, there are signs of remembering the war, such as the four-demon warrior and his master appearing.

There was no doubt that the signs were overflowing from Gonzo.

"This is..."

Gonzo is as surprised as I am when he realizes the changes that have taken place in his body.

Just now, the one that tied Gonzo to me was unwrapped. I see.

"Gonzo?! My eyes!"

When I looked at Gonzo's eyes, a crest appeared in his eyes, glowing pale.

The diamond symbol is a four-leaf diamond with a crest extending in four directions from the center and no four-leaf clover.

"Su, it's amazing..."

Sakura-sama glanced over Gonzo's head.

Originally, I don't know what I was looking at... but I was able to see with my own eyes exactly what happened to Gonzo.

Like wrapping around Gonzo-sama's body, something without substance, like a sunburn, is overflowing from the body.

Like Sakura-sama, you can't see clearly, but you can see that the power of God is there.

"Ugh, you can see us... Nil too?"

Yes...

Though it's just speculation, I think the magic is exploding, getting too thick and visible...

"Besides... Miss Gonzo. That pattern...."

"I can't see it myself..."

Master Gonzo is trying to look into his eyes somehow.

I've seen the pattern of those eyes once.

When Musao taught me about the crest eye, he told me that there was another crest eye I knew with the demon emperor.

His name is definitely Kisatsukan.

It was also said that Mr. Musho did not know his abilities.

"Eye of the crest that Elodie used to say, right?"

She also remembers Senna.

"A ghost killer?"

"I didn't know what I was capable of, but I'm sure of it."

"As far as I can see, it's an explosive boost to power..."

The only effect you can see and see is the enhancement of your powers.Nothing else has happened.

"Even if that's all, I think it's a threat enough..."

Even the divine powers used by the Shiki people are exerting so much power, but I think that if it becomes a divine power with enough strength to be visible, it will exert a tremendous amount of power.

"Even if you think about something you don't know, you're just wasting your time.

Consider one more weapon.

However, please be careful not to let Garak deprive you of your abilities... "

"I see... I see."

"It is! isn't it?"

Sakura-sama's bright voice echoes in the heavy air.

"Lord Sakura...?"

"Dear Gonzo, I'm so glad you're angry for me and everyone else."

Sakura-sama took Gonzo's hand with both hands and squeezed it.

"I don't think it's strange that we're joining the Demon Squad, considering what we've done to Gonzo."

"No, it has nothing to do with Sakura."

"Yes."

Sakura cut off Gonzo's words halfway through.

"When I touched the heart of Gonzo, I felt a hatred deep in my heart that would never disappear, even if it was smaller.

It was definitely given to us by the people of this island. Including me. "

I don't think Sakura-sama is talking about personal relationships, but about the position of the lower people.

A people in a position similar to a slave.

It would have been a system in which everything would have been civilian.And yet, there is the identity of the lower people.

Because the islanders created the identity of the lower people on their own.

Some disdain not only some publicly, but others disdain appeasement behind their backs, while others pretend not to see.

If someone had shouted loudly that those people were wrong, it might have been a little different.

Or, just like Gonzo, if someone moved to get rid of that identity, it might have been a little easier for everyone to live on.

But there was no such person.Strictly speaking, some people, such as Shunrai-sama and Touji, may have been moving, but it's been counted.As far as the whole island is concerned, it is the same as being absent.

In other words, it is the responsibility of all the people on the island to have the indelible grudge of Gonzo.That's what I want to say.

"Because we've been working with other HR… nothing has changed."

……………

"I don't really think it's an acceptable sin, just how much I apologize."

Sakura Sensei...

"But... let me dare say it."

Sakura-sama smiled and looked up at Gonzo.

"Please laugh too, Gonzo.

It doesn't suit Gonzo-sama.

As always, please say thank you and make me laugh.

Please remain gentle, Mr. Gonzo... "

The strength of Gonzo in the battle against Dogama was astonishing.

However, Senna was scared not only because of Gonzo's murderous intentions, but also because Gonzo was about to go far away.

I think that's because I knew that with so much anger, Gonzo would fight without looking back.

As a result, Mr. Gonzo was not injured.But that's just the result.

I wonder if Sakura-sama is just as scared as Senna is.

Gonzo, who felt the meaning of the word, once slowly meditated his eyes and suppressed his magic eyes, he looked at Sakura-sama with his usual eyes.

"I understand. If Lord Sakura laughs at you, I won't laugh at you."

That's what Gonzo said, smiling nicely.

Previously, there was no more lethargy than I felt.

But I know.

After listening to both of them, something changed in Gonzo.

Anger enters your heart and you are determined to shake down the blade while still in a calm state of mind.

It feels exactly the same as the air your husband and the Shiki people have.

Dear Gonzo, who hates unreasonable violence and continues to hate killing.

That is why we do not forgive those who do it, but shake down the blade for those who have suffered unreasonable violence.

I think that preparedness has been decided in a real sense.

"Ah... after all, I can't beat Sakura..."

Sena laughs as if she was convinced.

That's not true. That was when I was about to say.

Shit.....

I feel a big vibration from upstairs.

"It's time to go.

Nil, Sena, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. "

"... no, let's go."

Return the words to Gonzo with a clear face.

You can talk about the rest after you've cleared everything up.

Pacify!

Sena taps her cheeks slightly.

"It's time for my job!Let's get you started! "

If we don't discuss this here, Sena will go back to normal.

I don't intend to scorn the feelings of Senna, who dares to behave brightly here.

I'm going forward, too.

"Mr. Sakura."

"Yes?"

"Sakura-sama, please don't come out behind me."

Huh?

"It's like a miracle that no one's ever found you here alone.

In other words, staying here or going back is extremely dangerous. "

Sakura-sama's abilities are one of Garaku's goals.

It's dangerous to go near the garbage, but I can't even see you if you let me act alone and get caught.

If that were the case, it would be better if you stayed close to me and protected me.

"Ah... I wasn't thinking about leaving..."

"If it's Gonzo and Gonzo, it's sakura and sakura.

I thought that would happen anyway. "

"Ugh..."

Sakura raised her eyebrows as if she was stunned and her shoulders were squeezed.

"It's okay, I'll take care of it."

"Nil-san... please."

"Yes, I'll take care of it!"

"Suu... fu... don't go!"

Gonzo took a big breath and threw up, headed upstairs.

I don't see any confusion on Gonzo's face or back.

On the way up to the fifth floor, you can hear the sound of a sword coming from the upper floor.

Gaggie!

"Never let me through! Defend yourself!"

"This voice..."

The voice you hear belongs to Genjiro.

As expected, they're all standing upstairs and enduring it.

"Who are you?!"

Shit!

Upstairs, the enemy soldiers blocking the stairs immediately noticed our presence.

Gonzo, look at me!

As soon as I screamed, Gonzo lay down his eyes.

There are three people in front of me.It may not be enough to be vigilant, but it is difficult to figure out where and how many there are in the castle.

We need to get rid of it as soon as possible.

In order to do that, it is a fixed stone, but first take away the sight.

Bang!

Wow?!

"What was that?!"

"Hmm?!"

An intense flash is emitted, crushing the vision of the three.

Gonzo!

I understand!

Gonzo, who reacted to my voice, immediately stepped forward.

"Nuooooooo!!"

Gashh!!

Gonzo shook his sword sideways.

The invisible enemy soldiers were unable to avoid the blow and the two were mutilated by slashing.



Even though it's halfway around the waist, Gonzo's slash is too sharp to understand what's going on, and his upper body falls to the floor.

Goddamn!

What surprised me was that the slash that cut them both ripped the pillars a little further apart.

If it was just a flying slash, your husband was doing it, and I don't think he was that surprised.However, the cut columns are separated in three places.

In other words, he flew three slashes in a single slash.
