"...Calling all the [Sons of Sin Song]?"

After listening to Fujimaru Ritsuka's suggestion, Sonohara Anri said with some doubts:

"Well, why...?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka explained:

"Since the Ikebukuro Man-Slasher might be the [Children of Singe], and Anri-san happens to be able to control all the [Children of Singe], I thought I might as well catch them all in one go."

As long as all the [Children of Sin Song] are eliminated, then no matter who the Ikebukuro Killer Demon is, this will be the end of the matter, right?

Hearing this, Sonohara Anri understood and was a little surprised at the same time:

"Miss Ritsuka, do you have a way to eliminate [Son of Singe]?"

"certainly."

Although her previous attempt to use [Phantom War Horse's Mane] to purify the opponent failed, it does not mean that they are helpless.

On the contrary, there are many ways to deal with this existence.

This time, Sonohara Anri only hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said:

"If that's the case, I'd like to help."

She has no evidence to prove that she is not the Ikebukuro Slasher, but if she does this, it should be able to clear some of the suspicion on her, right?

Although she felt a little sorry for [Zen Ge], she actually felt that it was better not to let [Zen Ge's Sons] continue to multiply.

At the same time, after discussing these things, she realized that the attitude of Fujimaru Ritsuka and others was more accommodating than she thought, and Sonohara Anri couldn't help but relax a little.

So next, she couldn't help but ask Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"Um, Miss Ritsuka, what happened between you and [Sin Song] just now?"

Since just now, the voice of [Sin Song] that was constantly shouting in the past has completely disappeared, and her heart has become quiet for a long time, but this kind of quietness makes her feel a little uneasy.

"Well..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched his cheek and smiled sheepishly:

"I just saw that you seemed to be a little out of control, so I planned to teach it a lesson to make it more honest, but it seems that you went a little too far."

Suddenly the other party pointed out the problem she had just faced. Sonohara Anri's cheeks suddenly turned red and she said shyly:

"I'm sorry...and thank you..."

"It doesn't matter."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and waved her hand, and then heard Sonohara Anri asked worriedly:

"Um, that is to say, [Song of Sin] is it seriously injured now?"

"Forehead……"

Regarding this question, Fujimaru Ritsuka's tone was also somewhat uncertain:

"I think there shouldn't be... right? At least it ran pretty fast when it escaped. Maybe it was just a little frightened?"

She hadn't even started to exert her strength at that time. After all, it was a demon sword with self-awareness, so it shouldn't be that fragile, right?

"Eh?"

However, on the other side, Sonohara Anri had some suspicions that there was something wrong with her ears.

Wait, run away?

Frightened?

...Is this really the [Song of Sin] she knows? Why does it sound different?

Or rather...

Is Fujimaru Ritsuka such a strong person who can even be afraid of [Song of Sin]?

At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to have thought of something, and said to Sonohara Anri:

"Speaking of which, Anri-san, are you really okay with that? After all, [Song of Sin], this demonic sword is quite dangerous, right?"

She was also curious, how did this shy-looking girl get involved with such a dangerous demonic knife?

And it seems that the other party is not controlled by [Song of Sin].

"this……"

Sonohara Anri showed hesitation, hesitating and not knowing how to explain, as if there was something unspeakable.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka said in a tone that was half joking and half serious:

"Don't worry. If you have any unavoidable secrets or are being coerced by [Sin Song], please just say it. Even if you want to destroy it, there is no problem."

After hearing these words, the [Sin Song] that had fallen into deathly silence in Sonohara Anri's body finally reacted again,

But different from the wanton expression of love in the past, this time Sonohara Anri could clearly feel the fear caused by the other party, and even the blade seemed to be trembling slightly.

It turns out [Song of Sin] is really capable of fear...

At the same time as she noticed this, Sonohara Anri also immediately understood that the Fujimaru Ritsuka in front of her was definitely not joking.

So she ignored the unusual reaction of sighing [Song of Sin], and quickly shook her head nervously and said:

"Please, please don't do this!"

"I was not coerced by [Song of Sin]. On the contrary, I am able to survive today thanks to [Song of Sin]. It is my benefactor...I am very grateful to it...!"

"And, that, [Sin Song] really loves humans deeply, although the way of love is very twisted, but, but..."

"Okay, okay, I get it."

Seeing that Anri Sonohara's tone became excited again, her expression was tense, and she looked like she might cry at any time, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled helplessly:

"In short, you just don't want [Song of Sin] to be wiped out, right?"

"……Um."

Anri Sonohara nodded vigorously, looked at her carefully, and waited for her answer.

Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka pondered and fell into thinking.

After a while, she looked at Sonohara Anri and smiled:

"It's not impossible."

"But can you promise that you will restrain [Sin Song], not let it hurt innocent people at will, and will not abuse this power?"

"I..."

Looking into Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes, Sonohara Anri's attitude gradually changed from hesitation to firmness, and finally nodded vigorously:

"...I promise!"

"If I can't do it, I am willing to bear all the consequences!"

"Okay then."

Seeing the girl's firm attitude, Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded and agreed without much hesitation.

In addition, although the other party has not yet cleared the suspicion of [Ikebukuro Killer], after such a conversation, she thinks that the other party should not be the real murderer they are looking for.

In this case, the next step is to look at the clues from Haibara Ai or Celty, right?

Of course, in the current situation, the clues may not be so important.

On the other hand, after getting a positive answer, Sonohara Anri finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again.

"That's right,"

However, at this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to remember something, and looking at Sonohara Anri who was getting nervous again, he added with a smile:

"It's not allowed to be abused, but it's not absolutely forbidden to use it."

"So if you encounter danger or have any unavoidable situation, just use it!"

"If it really doesn't work, you can come to us then."

"Ah, yes..."

Sonohara Anri nodded blankly in response, not expecting the other party to say such a thing.

This also made her realize again that Fujimaru Ritsuka in front of her seemed to be a more gentle person than she imagined.

Not only did he not make things difficult for her because of the Slasher, but he was also willing to give her so much trust...

While speaking, Fujimaru Ritsuka also handed the other party the business card of the agency. Anri Sonohara looked at the words on it with some curiosity and murmured:

"Chaldea Mysterious Agency..."

"Well, that's us."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and nodded in response, and then said:

"In that case, let's talk about the topic just now again-"

"That is, the matter of cleaning up [Children of Guilty Song]."

"Yes."

Anri Sonohara sat upright, and out of thin air, she felt a heavy sense of responsibility--

Since Miss Ritsuka gave her so much trust, she must not let her down!
