I rely on the vest to become the lord of ghosts

The man with the gap blocked Bachi's attack, and the latter didn't get angry when he was blocked. He looked much more rational than before, and even took the initiative to take half a step back, waving his hand to show that he was not hostile.

Celty and Shizuo moved a little slower. They first saw the man with the gap cut into the battlefield quickly, and then blocked the opponent's attack.

Immediately afterwards, Sonohara Anri was told by the rip man to keep her away.

She wanted to run away, but the black encirclement hadn't dissipated. She didn't dare to act rashly at the edge. She felt the girl's movement. The man with the rip opened the scissors. Swinging out the blade, the boundary line was cut off.

When Anri Sonohara heard that the thread was cut off, she wailed like a human.

【Don't listen! 】Sin Song reminded immediately.

The girl covered her ears and stumbled to the outside.

"Thank you--"

The man with the rip put away his weapon again, and looked at Hachichi.

Seeing that Hachichi really had no desire to fight, he put his weapon back slightly and asked, "...Did you change your mind? I thought you..."

"Ha ha……"

Hachisha straightened the corners of his skirt, holding his hat with one hand.

"I did change my mind. That child has a special physique. If you want to get the demon sword from her, you have to use some violent means... This is really a pity." He regretted, "Jiuyuan-jun will not allow me to hurt this children's."

"It's his style." The man with the gap nodded.

"Two souls housed in one body...it is a rare and precious research object." Hachishi once again looked at Sonohara Anri not far away, as if wanting to swallow the girl alive, "... It's a pity, I really want to study this girl."

The Gap Man didn't understand what he was talking about, he just frowned.

He felt Bachi's desire rising, and then he suppressed it again.

(...Is he really so interested in this kid?)

(Perhaps I was just looking for the demon knife at first, but I didn't expect to find something interesting about the opponent...)

"It's really that child's misfortune to be paid attention to by you."

On the contrary, Hachishi smiled: "...Hehe, what a sentimental speech."

In Jiuyuan's setting, Bachi and Gap Man have the least overlap, but there are no insurmountable contradictions and conflicts of choice between them.It's just because Bashaku seems indifferent to things other than his master, while the man with the gap doesn't care much about most things.

Such two people, there is no situation of immortality, and they will never choose to be cruel to each other.

Because it is troublesome and meaningless.

Therefore, when Celti thought they would start the war with one shot, the smoke was extinguished before it even rose.

The man with the gap looked at Hachichi who was calm and composed, and asked, "What happened?"

"……Um?"

"You and Mr. Jiuyuan... Are you really quarreling?" The man with the gap looked like he was thinking hard, and then said: "...Because you acted unscrupulously against human beings?" The information in his hand can only be calculated to this extent.

Sure enough, Hachiku's expression became a little stiff when he heard this sentence, he clearly didn't like the conclusion of the man with the gap.

Gap man: "... Is it really because of this?"

Hachiku gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "Of course...not..."

Afterwards, he actually glared at the man with the gap——

"If you want to know that much...you can check it yourself..."

After speaking, as if thinking of something interesting, he laughed loudly.

"Yes...you can check it yourself if you want to know...I promise the result will be very interesting..."

After finishing speaking, he didn't even look at the man with the gap, turned around and left his back with peace of mind, and left just like that.

Because of the protection of the barrier, people around them paid very little attention to what happened in their place. Except for a few parties, Celti and the others who knew what happened a long time ago, no one knew what happened here. What.

After several minutes, no one saw a large hole sinking into the ground.

"Hey, was there this hole here before?"

"……who knows."

And the perpetrators have long since left.

The Gap Man returned to the line, while the other three were waiting for him at the corner of the street under the shade of trees.

They just saw what the Gap Man and Hachishaku said from a distance, and the latter left, which also made Celti re-evaluate the Gap Man.

The man with the gap glanced at Anri Sonohara, who was holding her arm. There was still some cold sweat on her forehead.

Gap man: "...are you alright?"

The girl nodded.

The man with the gap saw that something was wrong and continued: "...if you have any questions, just speak out, don't hold back." After finishing speaking, he felt that his way of speaking was a bit unreasonable. After a pause of two seconds, he added another sentence: "The monster's means... There are many, and there may be sequelae... If you feel uncomfortable, you must pay attention to it."

Shizuo next to him always felt like the teacher in the health room was admonishing the students.

He has also come into contact with "unnatural" and "non-scientific" people or creatures, but the feeling given to him by the man with the gap is completely different from that of Hachisha just now. The moment he saw Hachisha, he understood why Se Erti would be so on guard, he could feel the cold, ominous aura on Hachishaku from a long distance away.

In contrast, Gap Man is more similar to Celty.

As long as they don't deliberately reveal those non-human features, they can almost perfectly hide themselves in the crowd.

(...Speaking of which, it seems that the man with the gap was born from the mouth of a human, and he was a human monster during his lifetime.)

(Is that why they are closer to humans?)

The not-so-aggressive, yet quite human-like attitude of the man with the rip made Anri Sonohara think for a few seconds, and she hesitated whether to try to trust him or not.

(Since it was brought by Miss Celty, then...do you choose to try to believe it?)

The girl was a little tired, she rolled up her sleeves, and the man with the gap saw that her right hand was still trembling uncontrollably.

Knowing what the girl wanted to show him, he thoughtfully stepped forward to block her with his body, and then a gleaming blade grew out of the girl's arm.

Gap man: "...I see."

Hachishaku just said that there are two souls in one body, which is what he was referring to.

However, Anri Sonohara gritted her teeth, her state was obviously not right.

The blade was trembling, obviously affected by some force.Jiuyuan's first reaction was whether the chaotic attribute of the man with the gap had affected the other party, so he asked, "...When did it start?"

"The first time that monster appeared..." The girl's voice was weak.

Jiuyuan: ...No way?Is it really affected?Because of Bachi?

This is a completely unexpected situation.

He didn't intend to ask such stupid questions as "Can you still restrain yourself?" Seeing Anri Sonohara's struggling expression, it was obvious that she couldn't solve the problem now.

After pondering for two seconds, the man with the gap looked at Celti next to him, and conveyed the matter to the other party.

Unfortunately, the other party has no solution.

The man with the gap had no choice but to say to the girl: "...if you believe me... I know a place where someone can heal you."

For Anri Sonohara, it took a lot of courage to make this choice.

Because the risks she was taking were too high to try to trust a stranger, not even a human being.

But she knew that once the sin song went berserk, her current life would be wiped out.

Celti saw her hesitation, and she asked the man with the gap: [Can we go together? 】

The man with the gaping mouth nodded generously and calmly: "...Yes. The gentleman next to him can also come together. It's not a secret."

Seeing that he didn't hide anything, Celti was naturally relieved.

However, the young man looked at them in the next second and asked, "Have you brought any money?"

Anri Sonohara: "...I have. However, if there are many, I may not have enough..."

"It's enough to buy apples." The man with the gap said, "One apple is enough."

Sonohara Anri: ...?

Celty, Shizuo:?

……

……

After buying the apples, the Gap Man led them to a nearby school.

Celty walked behind and looked around the school. It was just an ordinary elementary school. Could there be any powerful figures here who could solve their problems for them?

(C-Could it be a powerful big monster? But will the big monster live in the school?)

(Or something like a land god, a patron saint... Speaking of which, the first time I met Mr. Gap Man, there was a land god beside him.)

Celti tried to rationalize the Gap Man's behavior, thinking as he walked.

On the other hand, Shizuo who was next to him seemed to have some guesses after finding out that he was led into the school by the other party until——

They were ushered into a toilet on a certain floor.

Looking at the empty bathroom, the three of them, except the man with the gap, all looked at each other in unison, looking at each other.

Only the man with the gap calmly took out an apple from the bag, and muttered: "...I don't know if the ritual has changed, but let's try first..."

...wait, wait, so you're not sure either?

Also, what kind of ceremony should be performed in the toilet? !

Ignoring their thoughts, the man with the rip went straight into the ceremony, and started shouting based on his impressions: "Hanako-kun, Hanako-kun..."

He tossed the apple in his hand and muttered the other person's name.

The words of the ceremony were thrown upside down by him - after all, how could the man with the gap remember such things that had nothing to do with him.

"I have an apple...ah, no, should I knock on the door first?"

So he knocked on the door in a remedial manner, still saying, "It should be fine to knock in any compartment...".

Celti, who just thought that the Gap Man might be reliable, already wants to take back his thoughts at the time.

This, this is not reliable at all?

"...the apple for you."

This summoning ceremony was so childish that no one expected anything.

Unexpectedly, the surroundings suddenly became dark, and then brightened again. The closed compartment was actually pushed open from inside, and a pale boy came out.

After seeing the person in front of him clearly, the boy was taken aback for a moment, thinking that he had made a mistake.

"Why did you come to me... did you quarrel with Xuenan? No, why did you bring someone else along..."

The man with the gap was justified: "I came here secretly, he didn't know."
