The first emotion I felt was relief.
thank god. you were here The moment he found out that Ezio was still alive, Mew was able to sweep away his pounding heart.
“Ezio, are you okay? Once here… … ”
Ezio was by no means the enemy of Mew. It was something that had to be kept. So, with the sword removed, Mew slowly approached Ezio.
Bump, Bump… …
drop.
It took two steps and then stopped.
“… … 」
It is because the pure white eyes that glowed in the dark, stared at Mew with a truly horrifying and insensitive gaze.
“… … Ezio?”
Something was strange.
Ezio’s eyes were originally blue. Clear and transparent like the sea. But now, even the iris and pupils were filled with only white, and were painted in a color that was not like a normal human being.
It wasn’t just that. It was dark and it was hard to see, but the black water flowing down the cheeks of his face, which was dirty with dust, etc. It was dripping from under Ezio’s eyelids.
He was crying with black tears.
“Wait, are you okay? Ezio, you… … ”
“… … 」
Mu didn’t make a hasty choice.
It would be right to secure Ezio here and go down right away, but he couldn’t get too close.
Ezio’s condition is strange. A very different feeling than usual. The person in front of him seemed not to be the Ezio he knew.
Anyway, Ezio broke the ceiling and came down. At the moment when Mew was just vibrating the floor he was standing on, it was clear that he was breaking something.

Dark red blood was flowing from the area around the fist Ezio was holding. Not only that, but the crab had scars all over her body, and it seemed like she was running around the building recklessly.
Mu asked cautiously.
“… … Ezio. Can you hear me?”
“… … —.」
Again, an unknown language came out of Ezio’s mouth. At that point, Mu was convinced. Ezio is insane now.
What happened to the professor in the name of research cooperation? Have you ever been tested on a human body? In an instant, the power was put into Mu’s grasp, but there was no object that could unravel it.
What the hell is going on?
The first thing to do was to save Ezio.
Whoops.
Mu took a calm stance. It would be better to quickly subdue Ezio so as not to get hurt any more. The rest will be left to the Frontiers. So the first thing to do is to knock out Ezio.
“Ezio, I’m sorry, but forgive me for now… … ”
That was then.
uh uh–
Ezio opened his mouth wide. There was a sound like a leak in the air. It was a noise similar to when a needle was punctured in a balloon that was probably about to burst.
Chewy profit——close.
for a moment.
Ezio, who sucked in the surrounding black smoke into his mouth, closed his teeth tightly and chewed them. Then he swallowed it through his throat.
Mew was at a loss for words at the incomprehensible sight. It made me wonder what he was looking at right now.
Chewy profit——crash.
Ezio’s journey did not end there. He inhaled the smoke deep into his lungs once more, then chewed it softly.
Thanks to such actions, the smoke surrounding Mew and Ezio was gradually being lifted. Mew’s gurgling, which had been covering his mouth, was noticeably reduced.
It was still dark inside, but not as much as before. Amidst the brightening, Ezio suddenly and slowly raised his hand and grabbed it between his chest and the area around his stomach.
“… … Whoa—.”
Then soon, the young black tears on his face grew thicker and clacked and flowed down again and again.
what the hell is this
Mu couldn’t understand anything.
… … Whatever the case, it was clear that it wasn’t a good thing. Mew, who had been staring blankly at something unrealistic, only then came to his senses and prepared himself to safely stun Ezio.
The smoke floating in this space was right after Ezio inhaled all of it.
Seeing that no smoke was leaking out even from the hole in the ceiling, the smoke that would have risen first on the top floor must have been after Ezio had already absorbed it as it is now.
was that so
Ezio, who staggered for a moment, took one step out of the rubble and started walking in stride towards somewhere.
Looking at the creaking footsteps, the condition of his body didn’t seem to be that bad. It must have not been my will, but I was rolling my body around without thinking about what might happen next.
‘… This smoke is dangerous. I don’t know what will happen to Ezio later if I keep breathing like that.’
With that in mind, Mew grabbed the handle of the sword.
I didn’t want to hurt Ezio directly, or hurt him… … For now, this was the only way. You shouldn’t have to deal with him in vain just by looking at him who just broke the ceiling and came down. I had to finish it with a blow with sincerity as much as possible.
The moment I made that promise.
——Swish.
Ezio, who was facing the other side of Mew, turned his back.
In other words, it looked exactly where Mew was.
“… … !”
Their white eyes met Ezio’s.
Mu instantly froze.
“Uh, uh… … ”
It was a strange feeling. My feet were stuck in place and I couldn’t move. When the intangible pressure was released and he could barely move, he was slowly stepping backwards with his mouth slightly open.
Was it because of Ezio’s first appearance? Is it an unknown fear? Mew couldn’t read the emotions in those eyes. That was the biggest fear.
However, in the sense that he was thumping and approaching straight in this direction, Mew had no choice but to point backwards rather than forwards.
“Eh, Ezio… … ?”
“… … 」
Ezio approached without answering.
… … chin.
At some point, Mew recognized that his backward steps were blocked by a wall. blocked by a smooth wall. It was the wall right next to the door leading to the stairs.
Rather than suppressing it, I felt a strong need to get out of here. It didn’t seem like it would have any effect on Ezio even if it was hit like this. Why? Even looking at Ezio in such a tattered state right now, Mew could not find any weaknesses.
Mu suddenly.
He felt his fingertips tremble.
There was no room for fear, and he was clearly trembling. As if he had become a herbivore facing a higher-level predator, he calmly raised his sword with an almost instinctive fear.
I had no intention of beating Ezio. Even so, it’s probably all about hitting with a sword.
Mu swallowed his saliva.
As the conviction that he could be reliably suppressed disappeared, the tension in it instead disturbed Mu’s breathing irregularly.
If you can’t take down Ezio, what’s the next best thing? How can I restore Ezio, who has gone insane… …
Even if your own voice won’t reach you.
Mew struggles to open her mouth.
“Oh, Ezio. It’s me. do you know I know you hate me a lot. However—“
Whoo!
Ezio blew himself up.
There was no foreshadowing. Because of that, I was even more bewildered, and Mu could not properly respond to the much faster movement than expected.
“Hey——!”
Aww!
With a short scream, Mew urgently rolled to the side. The scream was buried in a roar and disappeared for a moment.
Curl-Rung—!
The black sword in his hand floats in the air, and the wall behind Mew, who has just stood there, begins to crumble.
Chaeeng-.
“Uh, uh, uh… … ”
Mew was speechless. It was also attributable to the huge vibration that shook all his senses, but rather, a psychological shock dyed Mu’s head pure white.
It was truly a terrific shock. I was so terrified. No matter how insane Ezio was now, the fact that he had punched him with an explicit fleshly or destructive emotion made Mew’s heart pounding as he sat on the floor.
Boom— chee hee hee… …
As Mew collapsed with his dazed eyes, Ezio shuddered and took a heavy step through the open holes in the cracked walls.
Then he inhaled the smoke that filled it once more, and continued to advance, whether or not Mew had collapsed in indescribable shock.
Strange. this is weird
Ezio needs to dry quickly, stop… …
He had just watched Ezio’s actions and realized that he wasn’t just trying to attack him, but the shock still lingered deep in Mew’s heart.
… … Kwok.
Mew held the dropped sword in my hand again with a small determination. Then he slowly gets up and quickly catches up with Ezio.
uh uh–
Now don’t hesitate Mew was Kollock for a moment. Then, just in time for Ezio to inhale the smoke that filled the room that appeared to be someone’s laboratory,
“I’m sorry, Ezio… … !”
Wrath!
After loading the majestic magic on the sword, he rushed to Ezio. With the other hand, after blocking Ezio’s movements, I was planning to restrain him by tying his arm and back——
“… … !”
a fleeting moment.
Ezio’s head tilted to the side.
Mu’s eyes widened.
It was already too late to sense the danger.

Dumpling—
Ezio forcibly twists his body. It was a movement that was absolutely impossible to even try with a normal human joint.
Paat—
Ezio’s returned upper body bowed deeply toward the floor, clenched fists to avoid the sword that Mew wielded, and a pure white light shone through them.
“Ugh… … !”
Mew’s vision was dyed pure white for an instant in the burst of light. Avoiding lightning-fast attacks in a blinding situation was a far cry.
However, Mew’s extremely developed sense of urgency caught its direction and location accurately, but only recognized it, and it was impossible to abruptly stop while already running forward.
‘… … ah.’
Boo woo woo!
Ezio’s fist touched the area near the abdomen of Mew’s uniform.
A perfect blow without a doubt.
It was supposed to be a counterattack right away, but at least someone would be seriously hurt. In Ezio’s case, one of the arms outstretched toward him might have been amputated and blown away.
‘that… no.’
Mew did not dare to choose that path. In the end, he gave up on counterattacking, clenched his teeth and closed his eyes.
at that time.
“——Get away from him. number 1.”
With chin!
Something smoked through the window over there and smashed the window. The moonlight seeps in yellowishly.
👌👌👌👌
It was so fast I couldn’t even see the afterimage. A body that far transcended human beings has surpassed the impossible.
Someone who entered the building at a speed that even Mew could never catch up with, grabbed Mew’s back, just before being hit by Ezio’s blow.
“——Kyaah!”
Mu’s vision was distorted in an instant. It was a great sense of speed. A feeling of being forced out of space.
Kudang Tang!
“Uh, uh… … ”
“I won’t ask if you’re okay. It will be fine anyway.”
Someone’s voice is ringing in my ears.
Even with her head dizzy, Mew could vaguely recognize who the owner of the voice was.
However, if there is one difference from before, is it a little more serious?
“Twitch, I’m glad you didn’t leave yesterday. I thought I’d get along just fine, so I tried not to worry about it any more. … Who would have thought that some kind of dog-like bastard would force the door open?”
The woman with a rotten expression on her face sighed deeply. Mew looked up at her without a word.
Black hair tied up randomly. A golden pupil nestled in the eyelids that had been closed for a while. The other side was hidden from view by an eye patch, and her highly forged forearms were crossed and crossed.
Mew muttered when she saw it.
“Eh, Elena-senpai… … ?”
Elena Crymore, who I thought had returned to my home after the ceremony, showed up at this late hour in Frontier District 4.
“Yes, you are like the sky. Do you have some respect now? You are a senior who shows up nicely in moments of crisis, so I want to applaud you.”
no, more than that. This must be the 14th floor. Mew’s doubts about how he broke the window from the outside were quickly buried.
Elena points to Ezio in the distance with a chin.
“You know, if it had been orthodox, you would have been dead for at least a month.”
“… Yes Yes?”
“I’m going to pay you for saving me wisely later.”
Elena chuckled.
Whoops.
Elena’s expression became serious as soon as she lifted the eye patch lightly.
“You don’t seem to be in good shape. I wouldn’t have known if I had done just one handiwork, but it looks like I’ve blasted at least two of them at once. Weak chick chicks. Even if the mental training is not enough, it’s still not enough… … ”
“… … Ezio, do you know what’s going on?”
“Well? roughly? It’s really rough, so don’t even think about asking. I can’t give you a clear answer.”
Saying that, Elena looked at Ezio.
The slanted fist swung the empty air. Then, when the attack misses, he withdraws his attention and trudges straight to the other smoke.
“After the loss, only longing and revenge remain. It is absorbing all the powers related to demons. Those who interfere with that are all thinking of a cure-all. So, don’t approach it recklessly.”
Elena seemed to know quite a bit about Ezio’s current situation. While muttering like that, he suddenly asks Mew, who stands up, wiping the dust off his skirt.
“Are you guys close?”
“… … yes?”
“Were you and him close friends?”
“ah… … ”
Mu hesitated for a moment to answer.
“… … Right. Friend.”
He said with a slightly bitter face.
“okay? Then it wouldn’t be good to procrastinate any more. If you keep doing this, it will only hurt him more.”
Elena nodded and continued.
“I know because I’ve been through it myself, but before I lost my memory back then, I tried to commit suicide every day. … Isn’t that a bit funny? I still want to live forever without a thousand or ten thousand years, but if something had happened, people would have gotten to that point.”
“… … ?”
What do you mean? Mew tilted her head.
“Well, you don’t have to understand. Especially if you two are friends. It would be better to just forget about him in the future.”
Elena said, clenching her fists together.
“——I will kill you quickly, even for you. I don’t really like the idea of killing a junior with my own hands, but there’s nothing I can do about it anymore. It’s better to send it neatly here. So don’t hate me, number one.”
#6
It was almost an instinctive answer.
“Si, I hate it!”
“… … What?”
I can’t either.
I don’t like it, it was.
Elena blinked.
“Hey, younger brother. It’s not a matter of whether you like it or not, is it? If you leave it like that, it will never stop unless you catch three great demons and sacrifice them raw. Even if we take him down and put him somewhere, he’ll continue to suffer while he’s fainted? Besides, I was forcibly awakened… … ”
“Eh, Elena-senpai said that she had the same experience! Then there must be a reason why you’re doing this right now, isn’t it?”
Elena scratched the back of the head.
“… … Yes, it is. My case is a little different from her case, isn’t it? It’s going to be the same anyway, so I’d rather go earlier… … ”
“Well, I don’t like it! No! Don’t do that! Never hate it! Ezio, please, please don’t kill me… please… … ”
“… … what, what Why all of a sudden?”
Mew began to shed tears.
To have a close friend die right in front of your eyes, that’s quite possible.
And from the point of view of Elena, who overheard the conversation between Mew and Rubia at the banquet hall on the day of the entrance ceremony, she knows that Mew doesn’t see that junior Ezio with general feelings.
Elena doesn’t know. something like that He was also a person who spent his whole life devoting his youth to martial arts in the first place.
“I don’t have time for this, dude! There are many men other than him. And it’s your best friend. I can’t wait to see my friend turn into an ignorant monster and go crazy——”
“… … They are not close friends.”
“… … Well?”
Mew cried and looked up at Elena.
Then, as if there must be a reason to save Ezio, he groped with an appealing face.
“I am my girlfriend.”
“… … What bastard?”
Oh, I’m a close friend.
…No, shouldn’t we have to go further?
Elena’s expression turned puzzled.
