Decaying structures sprawled everywhere. Trees and other plants grew as if they were breaking through walls and floorboards that were probably made of stone, giving a sense of the essential strength of life. The occasional large insect or snake could be seen, but not one of these five students was cute enough to scream.

\'\'But you\'ve come a long way Harao,\'\'

Nekomiya looks at Harao\'s Harao, who is walking silently, and says in a whisper, "Pharaoh, Pharaoh.

Pharaohs, pharaohs, but in essence, they are mummies, or so-called mammies, as a monster. It is a mummy, so to speak, a mummy as a monster, wearing a golden mask and holding an Egyptian cross-shaped prop called ankh in its hand.

Harao has been a lazy character who has been sleeping through the night since his human days. He is said to have fallen asleep while walking around the city on a school trip. He is not well-liked by his teachers due to his overly serious attitude to class, but he is often neglected because his grades never fall below a certain number and because all of his relatives are prominent figures in the city and in the political and business world.

You don\'t have to be a Nekomiya to be surprised by the fact that Harao has personally offered to help in the extermination of Hydra.

\'One of my friends has been led by the reason of the morning and night to the sleep of the Nile.... I can\'t have him snoring in my coffin....

Harao suddenly stopped and looked up at the heavens, his words and actions were too rich in character for the people around him to understand. Beni and the others sighed and looked around in boredom. The sailor suit seemed too lightly dressed for walking in the forest, but he didn\'t seem to mind.

\'\'In other words, in Harao\'s own way, he\'s praying for Washio\'s soul to be at peace.

Goubayash, who was leading the way, summed it up with the words of an ardent Buddhist.

I\'m surprised that Harao has such a sense of camaraderie with his classmates.

Washio was my friend. "Washio was my friend. It was he who taught me the games of the common people, when I was isolated in my class. Karaoke, bowling, and so on. I paid all my money to repay him for his friendship.

I don\'t want to say anything about the dead, but maybe it was just hawked.

Okay. I\'ve enjoyed it. I am the Noblesse oblige.

Although Washio was a good-natured man, it was unexpected that he had expanded his friendship to include Harao.

\'As for me, I was more surprised that Asuka was following me, but...\'

Ryuzaki glanced over to Benii.

\'\'What, is it bad?　I told you. I said I\'d be sincere.

As if he didn\'t want that area to be mentioned too much, Beni responded sullenly. Ryuzaki gave a bitter smile.

\'\'It\'s not that it\'s bad, but...\'\'

But we can\'t keep Beni away from the branch school for too long.

Goubayashi is right. What is required of Beni is not just a simple role as a combatant. Her presence is meant to be a check on attacks by the Red Moon blood race (Red Moon). This time, she was brought along because Beni himself requested it, but the branch school had a fast-footed liaison on standby as well, just in case.

Nevertheless, even with less than half the power, Benii could lightly bury a pawn. If you join forces with Ryuzaki, Goubayashi and others, it won\'t take much time to finish off Hydra.

The bushes swayed with a crunching sound. All of them stopped in their tracks.

The old castle that could be seen from the heavy duty branch school was getting quite large. The hydra should have been seen in this vicinity, but the noise in the bushes was too small for the hydra\'s. Is it a forest wolf or some other kind of demonic beast? In a not-so-good pattern, it could be a blood pawn or something like that.

\'It is the son of a human,\'

Harao pointed to the shadow behind the bushes and said. They all swallowed the comment that you\'re not.

I\'m sure you\'ll be pleased to hear that.

Who\'s there?

That voice, Ryuzaki........it\'s Ryuzaki after all!

They looked at the boy who emerged from the rustling bushes and their eyes widened when they saw him.

\'It\'s me, me!　Hey guys, long time no see...!

Koganei...!

Seeing the high elf\'s carefree smile, Goubayashi\'s eyes narrowed without a word, and Harao and Nekomiya didn\'t seem to know what to make of his attitude. Beni crossed his arms from a little distance, showing no emotion.

He was supposed to be trapped by his blood family, Yoshiki Koganei. Why is he here? Ryuuzaki was also confused before relief.

\'\'Oh, you, why are you here..... Are you safe until now...?

\'Yeah. Suou and the others have done so much for me.

Suo, the word sounded familiar. Nekomiya found herself straining her body. Suou, the Knight\'s Suou. He was a member of the blood clan that had come in contact with her and Kyousuke and the others once. As I recall, his name was "Suou Takafumi". According to Beni, he was a high school student like them.

\'\'I wanted to make sure everyone was properly informed. If Ryuzaki was here, it would be a quick conversation, but Suou and the others aren\'t bad guys...

Around the time he was about to say that, Koganei stopped talking. His gaze turned to one of the members here.

\'\'Ah, Benii........\'\'

Don\'t worry about me.

Beni glanced at Koganei with his arms crossed and said in a cold tone.

\'\'I don\'t know what Suho has blown into you, but you can say what Koganei wants to say first.

"Well, uh...

Koganei glanced at Benii as he continued to speak. It looks a bit awkward.

\'Yeah, well.... Yes, Suou and the others aren\'t bad guys. They came from the same world as us, and despite our.......unfortunate misunderstandings, I think we can work together and.......

You don\'t know about Washio?

Washio?

Koganei tilts his head as he asks in a slightly thorny voice tone.

\'Washio, what\'s wrong?　Come to think of it, I owe that guy an apology, too. How are you doing?

Ryuzaki was sure of it. He did not know. That Washio was dead. It was supposed to be Bishop Akeno, the woman who had put her hands directly on Washio, but there was no way that hadn\'t been communicated to Suou. Suou is deliberately hiding it from Koganei.

\'Washio is dead,\'

It was Beni who told him that.

\'\'........Eh?\'\'

\'You want me to say it again?　Washio is dead. Fighting Akeno. Koganei, didn\'t you hear?

Koganei still hadn\'t cracked a hefty smile. He probably doesn\'t understand what Benai said.

\'\'Ugh, you\'re lying...?　Suou didn\'t say a word about that...

\'\'I didn\'t think I could keep Koganei around if I told you. For that matter, you heard about my betrayal of the king, right?

Perhaps Koganei is nostalgic for that suo motto. There\'s no doubt about it. If the blood clan was thinking of replenishing the students of the second year and four classes as a fighting force, it was not unimaginable that they would try to contact him through Koganei.

But it was unnatural that he hadn\'t been informed of Washio\'s death. It was a fact that would be exposed as soon as Koganei made contact with us. If he wanted to hide Washio\'s death from Koganei, it should be a taboo to let him contact us.

\'\'Ryuzaki.......is it true...?

Koganei asked Ryuzaki with a sullen look in his eyes. Ryuzaki meditated, took a deep breath, and nodded.

\'It\'s true. Washio is dead. And the funeral, too.\'\'

No.......... Eh, but Washio......... Eh..........?

If Suou had intentionally sent Koganei to us, the purpose was not to deter us.

\'\'It\'s possible that the hydra itself was a trap to lure us in.

Goubayashi said, crossing his arms. With a jolt, Koganei\'s shoulders trembled. He can\'t lie.

If that\'s the case, the enemy has a purpose for allocating our forces.

\'\'I guess we\'d better hurry.

Yeah, we\'ll have to kill Hydra again later.

Ryuzaki nodded at Nekomiya\'s words. Probably using Hydra and Koganei to attract our main forces, while Suou or Akeno or both of them are trying to make contact with the branch school. If that\'s the case, we can\'t afford to spend time here.

Goubayashi, Harao and the others silently agreed. Ryuzaki turns his back to Koganei.

\'\'Ryuzaki........!

Sorry, Koganei. I have to hurry up and get back to the branch school. We need to talk about this more properly...

Hey, wait...!

Koganei tried desperately to keep us back, revealing her confusion and dismay. But there\'s no time to just listen to what he\'s saying---.

Possessing the Wind Spirit!

At that time, Koganei spoke in a word that had a distinctly different atmosphere from the previous ones.

\'\'Wind Cutter!

Huh...!

From behind, a blade of wind cutting through the air strikes from behind. Ryuzaki barely reacts in time and shelters Nekomiya, who is probably the least defensive of all of them. As he rolled over the bushes to hold the black cat in his arms, \'\'nyahhh! I heard a scream.

When I turned around, I saw Koganei, who looked scared by something, sticking out his right arm. His entire body was enveloped in a light green light, his body and some of his clothes changing like a visible wind. It was an ability he hadn\'t seen before he was kidnapped. Looking at Beni, she nodded with a difficult face. Phase 2. It\'s probably drawing something quite powerful as well.

\'\'I\'m sorry...!　Sorry, Ryuzaki, but I...!　I want to talk to Suou...!

At the same time, a slimy scale skin began to surround Ryuzaki and the others as they pushed down the trees with mecha.

\'\'Hydra?\'\'

It\'s a trap.

Goubayashi muttered as he crossed his arms. Harao nodded. They intend to keep us glued to this place at all costs. Koganei is confused by the new information about Washio\'s death. As a result, he\'s trying to focus only on the role he would have initially been dictated to by Suou and others.

The strength of the heavy duty detachment is now almost completely empty. If they were to be attacked by Knight or Bishop here, they would be devastated. At the very least, we have to send Benii back to the heavy cruiser.

\'\'Beni-ii!　Beni is here!

Just then, the sound of hooves ruffling through the bushes could be heard.

"It" landed straight into the heavy branch school with a sound that made the weight of the ship feel like a weight. Its tough forelegs, reminiscent of a tiger or a bear, gouged deep into the deck. Its face grew one of a lion\'s and one of a goat\'s, and its tail was a snake. Kyousuke immediately recognized it as a synthetic beast (chimera). An eerie sense of menace radiated from its massive body, which reached five meters in length.

The landing spot was just behind Sakuma. It completely blocked her retreat and formed a pincer with Suou. Sakuma and Kyousuke are taken by Suou in front and the chimera in back.

It was extremely difficult for Kyousuke to keep his composure when he saw the chimera.

The face of a lion, the face of a goat, and even the tail of a snake were good. But the chimera had grown the wings of a bird of prey on its back. It didn\'t just grow wings. The head of an eagle was visible buried in the back. Kyousuke knows it looking at the air with empty eyes.

\'\'Washio-kun...?\'\'

Terrible....

Sakuma\'s eyes widened and he muttered in a faint voice. Rin\'s voice also trembled.

\'\'Bad taste...!

It was Kenzaki who shouted this. Her words were also infused with enough anger to make it obvious when she heard them.

Kenzaki wasn\'t the only one, the students were burning with fighting spirit when they saw the chimera that had clearly diverted Washio\'s corpse. The anger was naturally directed at Suou. Suou sniffed with a humph and then muttered to himself.

"Because of this, there is no more room for negotiation!

Kyousuke also clenched his fists and stared at Suou.

"We have no choice but to make them all do what we say in blood. You and Koganei, too.

Before he could finish his words, Kyousuke was running out of the room. He raised his clenched fist and slammed it down. However, it was easily received by Suou\'s one hand.

\'\'...........!

Kyousuke tried to hit him with his free left arm, but it was still received. Rin shouted.

\'\'Utsurogi-kun, you shouldn\'t be so reckless...!

Yeah, I know what you\'re thinking, but you\'re not gonna beat me in a fight.

Suou said in a cold tone and slammed Kyousuke\'s body to the deck with only his arm strength.

\'\'Gah........!

\'At that rate, even your Phase 2 ability is probably dead. What are you doing out here, weaker than before?

After saying that much, Suou kicked Kyousuke\'s body away. Immediately afterwards, he caught Kenzaki\'s sword as it leapt at him from behind and hit him with a Yakuza kick to his abdomen. Kenzaki also screamed and rolled on the deck again.

\'No trouble. Chimera, get it over with.

Responding to Suou\'s command, the chimera roared. With a flap of her wings and a flap of her wings, each feather shot out like a missile. That was another Washuo technique. Sakuma was about to chant a spell to intercept the approaching wings, when Suou grabbed him by the neck from behind.

\'\'Ah...!

An ejected feather was thrust into Sakuma\'s body as her magic chanting was interrupted. Her eyes widened with one of the strongest, and as soon as Suou let go of her hand, her body fell to the deck.

\'\'Sacchan...!

Come on, bear.

Rin cries out and Kyousuke puts one hand on the ground to get up, too.

Sakuma collapses, his snowflake white skin turning even bluer, a pained expression on his face. A weak hand movement extended from his collarbone to the feather propped up from his collarbone to his right second arm.

\'\'Don\'t tell me it\'s poison...?\'\'

"As you wish.

Suou replied to Kagoi\'s muttering. The chimera snarls low and now starts running on the deck, aiming at Kagoi and the others. Kagoi, Okumura, Zekou and the others catch the rush. Brother Uozumi sent his scales flying and Sister Uozumi intercepted them with her water attribute attack magic.

In the meantime, Suou looks down at Sakuma, who once again fell to the floor.

Sakuma pulls out a feather that was stuck near his collarbone. From the stab wound, a ball of blood emerged plumped up from the stab wound.

"For now, we just need to take the succubus home with us. The only thing left to do is to destroy this ship, but...

While saying this, Suou grabbed Sakuma\'s arm and forced her to stand. Sakuma struggled to resist desperately, but her body was not strong enough due to the poison. The other students can\'t go to the rescue because the chimera blocks their movements.

\'\'Ya, mero........!

Kyousuke stands up and glares at Suou.

\'\'Himemizu, can we go...!

I\'m ready for it.

Rin\'s calm mind echoed in my head. But still, her body didn\'t get used to us. Kyousuke clenched his fists and ran across the deck. Suou, who still grabbed up Sakuma\'s arm, gave Kyousuke a cold look and still received his fist lightly.

\'\'No matter how many times I come, it\'s useless.\'\'

He said simply and kicked Kyousuke\'s body.

\'\'Gah........!

Yikes...!

I told you, moron, you\'re nothing but an empty shell, so how many times do you have to do the same thing?

Suou glowered at Kyousuke. Suou rolled across the deck and stomped on Kyousuke as hard as he could as he tried to get up.

A blue-faced Sakuma looks at Kyousuke and the others, breathing raggedly and repeatedly.

Kyousuke tries to get up, but he can\'t resist Suou\'s power to hold him down from above. If this is the case, Sakuma will be kidnapped. Sakuma isn\'t the only one. Even those students who are doing their best to fight back against the chimera\'s power will eventually run out of steam and be taken away, losing their physical freedom to the feather\'s poison. And it is that Washio\'s power that will do it.

Kyousuke could only watch it happen.

No matter how much power he tries to put into his entire body, Kyousuke is powerless. Suou was right, no matter how many times he tried, it was the same thing.

\'\'That, and more........!

Whoa...?

There was a sensation of Rin\'s body slightly adjusting to Kyousuke\'s body as he tried to stand up.

Immediately after, Rin\'s consciousness flowed into Kyousuke\'s body, just a little bit. The outflow of the throbbing, gelatinous body stopped, and his body was filled with strength. It\'s like a bypass connection.

Seeing Kyousuke trying to get up, but Suou\'s cold attitude didn\'t change.

\'\'It\'s useless.\'\'

The words seemed to contain some irritation.

Suou moved his foot away and immediately afterwards kicked Kyousuke in the stomach with all his might. The kick was stronger than any blow Suou had ever delivered before. It\'s a good idea to be able to have a good time with your friends. Thoroughly, Rin\'s body flowed out of her entire body. She fainted. It\'s a good idea to have a good idea of what you\'re looking for.

So this is what it was all about, after all.

At the end of the day, the strength, confidence, or hope that they had almost regained a small amount of strength, confidence, or hope. Even that was like dust in the face of this overwhelming difference in ability. In the end, I didn\'t care about Koganei, Sakuma, Washio, or any of my other classmates.

You\'re not gonna help anyone.

While listening to Suou\'s words, Kyousuke let go of his consciousness into the darkness.

Kyousuke Soraki\'s consciousness sank into the darkness. He sinks into the darkness, unsure of the bottom, unsure of how far it will go.

I was unable to help any of them.

In the end, that is probably the stupid and ugly end of the wooden doll who never tried to look inside himself.

He set his house on fire from petty games, killed his parents, and tried to be a respectable person who could at least do something for someone else, just like those parents told him to do. The result is this. I kept turning a blind eye to my ugly inside and only painted the outside with mud, a building that looks great on the outside. It is a vessel without substance. That is me.

I wanted to save Sakuma. I didn\'t want to give out students like Koganei and Washio again. I was desperate for that, and even if I tried to generate power for that purpose, it was only power on the outside. There is no such thing as "inside".

I let Himemizu Rin go along with it.

I\'m sure you\'ll be able to find it. It\'s a good thing that you\'re able to do something for others, kind and cheerful, much more than you could ever do for yourself, she was an admirable child. That dignity, too, Kyousuke let himself go with her, but in the end, he couldn\'t respond to her feelings.

Will I die like this?

Will Rin decay in the same way?

Sakuma, Kenzaki, and the other students. Even if you chant that you don\'t like it, there is no power left to do anything about it.

Utsurugi-kun.

Suddenly, I heard a voice calling out to me. It was a voice that seemed to put my mind at ease, a voice that I\'d become quite accustomed to hearing over the past month and a half.

"Soraki-kun. Soraki-kun,

"Hime, Mizu....

In a blur, the figure of Himemizu Rin floats in front of me. Rather than floating up, it was more like an image of her diving to Kyousuke\'s place as he sinks deeper. She appears to be in human form, but perhaps because the image is based on Kyousuke\'s memories, the details are vague.

Just before he passed out, Kyousuke and Rin had made contact with its body. This was probably a communion using Kyousuke\'s ability. It is an extension of that, which allows them to exchange their consciousness with each other without words during the course of the merger. Or maybe it\'s because Kyousuke\'s body functions have almost stopped functioning, so they\'re communicating in this kind of darkness.

\'\'It\'s okay, Soraki-kun. I can still fight and I can manage.\'\'

I can only vaguely tell that Rin in front of me is smiling.

\'\'I wonder if it will be. In the end, I couldn\'t do anything. There\'s nothing in particular that I want to do, I\'m just an empty guy who wants other people to praise me.\'\'

"It\'s okay. So,

With a pop, Rin\'s hand was placed on Kyousuke\'s head.

\'\'It\'s fine if you don\'t have anything you want to do, it\'s fine if you just want other people to praise you, it\'s fine if you\'re empty. If that\'s who you are, Kyousuke Soraki, that\'s fine. Do you have to be something else?

It was the first time he had ever been told that. Kyousuke was confused.

Kyousuke had always turned away from his own content. He said there was no way this was his true nature. This is because he didn\'t want to admit how empty and vague his content was.

But Himemizu Rin said simply, \'That\'s fine. Rin affirmed without hesitation what Kyousuke had been trying so hard to deny until now.

But I\'m not.

"Even if Himesuisui is good, I don\'t like it...

He\'s a pain in the ass, he thinks, and looks away.

Even though he\'s spoken to me with such kind words, Kyousuke can\'t reciprocate them.

\'\'Well then, Kyousuke-kun. If you don\'t like yourself, then you should like me.

Kyousuke nodded his head involuntarily, not understanding the meaning of those words.

It\'s important that you love me, Hino-kun, Sachi-chan and everyone else in class more and more. Everyone doesn\'t hate Kyousuke-kun as much as he does.

That\'s...

\'I won\'t let you say I can\'t do it. You love them all, don\'t you, Kyousuke? You wanted to help Koganei-kun, Washio-kun and Sachan, right?　\'\'It\'s okay. I\'m sure everyone loves you, too, Kyousuke-kun.\'\'

Little by little, little by little, the poison that has been going around inside my body is being removed.

He looks into the inside of himself, which he was never able to look at correctly, through the mirror of a stranger. The girl in front of you, the one you see in the eyes of Himemizu Rin, is she not as ugly as Kyousuke thinks she is or is she not as ugly as he thinks she is? Or will she tell him that she loves him, including his ugliness?

\'\'Kyousuke-kun, do you still think you\'re empty?\'\'

Rin asked. Kyousuke nodded.

\'There\'s so many parts missing, so much missing, do you hate yourself like that?\'

Rin continued. Kyousuke nodded further.

\'\'I understand. It\'s good, Kyousuke-kun. I\'ll fill in all those missing parts, and the parts that are missing.\'\'

"Himemizu...

If you lack a heart, I\'ll become your heart. If you don\'t have any substance, I will become that substance. If you don\'t have meat, you become meat, if you don\'t have organs, you become organs, and if you don\'t have skin, you become skin.

The consciousness of Himemizu Rin flows into Kyousuke Soraki\'s consciousness. The connected bypass becomes thicker and stronger. The image of Rin in front of her changes into something clearer and clearer, accompanied by her memories. At the same time, Rin squeezes and hugs Kyousuke.

\'When I want to be angry, I raise my eyes, mouth and heart. When I want to cry, I raise my cheeks, my throat, and my tears. When you want to rejoice, when you want to laugh, if there\'s something missing, I\'ll give it all to you. I\'ll never let anyone say Kyousuke-kun is empty again.\'

I want to be the water that fills you.

Rin\'s consciousness told her that clearly.

\'\'Let\'s merge. Kyousuke-kun. I have to go save Sachan and the others.\'

Rin\'s words are slightly strained. I\'m going to help Sakuma and the others. That\'s what I wanted to do.

But will it really be possible?

\'We can do it. With you, I can go far. Let\'s merge, Kyousuke. Let\'s become a human being in body and mind.

Yeah.

Kyousuke nodded. There was a feeling of something filling up inside his heart that had felt so empty. A sense of satisfaction as the empty container was filled at once. The power of the emotions bubbling up, Kyousuke gradually became uncontrollable. The curse-like words that bound his body were all washed away by Himemizu Rin.

There are many pieces that are missing. But even that is made up for, Rin\'s power fills his entire body.

\'\'Ah, that\'s right.\'\'

The image that took the form of Rin huffed up and said.

\'\'What\'s up?\'\'

\'\'No, we can only do this kind of thing in the world of images anyway...\'\'

Rin\'s lips softly met Kyousuke\'s.

\'\'Cease and desist!\'\'

Suou, who was about to take Sakuma by his side, was attacked by a fireball. Suou was slightly delayed in dealing with the surprise attack from an unexpected direction. Although the direct hit doesn\'t do much damage, it removes Sakuma\'s body that he was holding.

Sakuma rolled his body onto the deck and groaned softly. He puts his hands on his head and raises his face.

It\'s a good idea to be able to have a good time. Hi, no, kun........

There was Ei Hino Ei floating there, his entire body blazing with flames nearly twice as high as usual.

\'Rest easy, Sakuma. You\'re just like Kyousuke, you\'re going to be reckless if you\'re left alone.

He is as talkative as ever. He\'d been left almost completely asleep due to seasickness during the voyage, but now he was much more talkative. Sakuma ignored Ei\'s advice to \'rest easy\' and looked at Kyousuke and the others with his hands on the floor.

Kyousuke\'s body lying on the ground and Rin\'s body clinging to it. Neither of them showed any signs of moving, not even a twitch.

Suou, on the other hand, was looking at the sudden intruder with an irritated and open gaze.

\'\'A wisp that isn\'t even in phase 2, you\'re acting like you have a lot of time to spare.

That\'s just the way it is. So you\'re Suou. It sounds like you treated my best friends really badly.

Ei speaks quietly, but his words are shaken with a strong anger. It\'s not easy to see that Ei, who has swelled to nearly twice his size, is nowhere to be seen.

But wisps, they are low-grade monsters. Even though they are strong against physical attacks, how much good fight can they show against the Knight\'s Suou, who doesn\'t have a bunch of top-notch combatants?

\'\'Oh, it\'s not me to fight.

When Ei said that, Sakuma huffed and looked at Kyousuke and the others. The two figures were still limp as ever, not even moving a single finger, and a slight vapour-like substance was beginning to rise from their bodies. It was expanding into a spiral, trying to envelop Kyousuke and Rin\'s figures.

\'\'U, Uozumi, Mr.!

Sakuma shouted as loud as he could to Masuyo Uozumi (the Mermaid), who was fighting with the chimera, "Water to the Utsurogi-kuns!

\'Water for the Utsurogi-kuns!

What...!

Suou notices Sakuma\'s cries. He fires a kick to silence her, but Ei interrupts and increases his firepower all at once. Suou\'s legs are exposed to a directional heat wave that tries to melt even the deck. Suou clicked his tongue and retracted his kick.

Uozumi Masuyo begins chanting the Water Magic Law as Sakuma had told her to. The chimera unfurled its eagle-tailed wings and went into a projectile stance of poisonous feathers. Masuyo\'s brother, Salmon Ichiro, breaks in front of her and checks her with his scaled bullets. Kagoi\'s cover was just in time for the poisonous feathers, which were a few beats behind in firing. All of the feathers fired never reach Troushiro and are bounced off the solid stone surface of the gargoyle.

Sakuma, who shouted loudly at the place where the poison was even just turning, let his body rest on the floor while he was dazed and dazed.

Sakuma had heard from Benii about Phase 3, the phase 3 that skeletons who had gained the 《Characteristic Amplification》 phase 2 ability would reach, and what it was like. Kyousuke and the others were almost there. Rin had succeeded in reawakening him.

I knew it, the thought swirled in Sakuma\'s chest in two ways. But for now, he would do what he could.

The magic chanted by Masuyo Uozumi was activated and water poured down on Kyousuke and Rin\'s bodies. Rin\'s body absorbs the water and wraps itself around Kyousuke\'s body. The spiraling steam that rose from his entire body soon became a tornado that enveloped the two of them.

Something like a roar came from inside the tornado. Sakuma is relieved.

This voice is "his". He was back on his feet again, after all. Sakuma slowly closed his eyes and threw himself onto the deck, too late to recover, but with a restful certainty. In the meantime, the roar grew louder, and the tornado that had enveloped Kyousuke and Rin\'s figures gradually grew weaker and weaker.

\'\'---Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh---\'\'

Everyone present confirmed the presence of a figure screaming in the tornado.

It was a cry of joy, a cry of rage, a cry of grief. All kinds of emotions overflowed unstoppably from a vessel that was supposed to be empty. Putting the excess of his excess heart on it, he screams.

\'---Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

To close the scream, the figure batted away the tornado with his own arm. All of the people present were unable to tear their gaze away from him. It was the same for even Suou. He forgot to move and kept his body glued to the spot.

The twin eyes of the red lotus peeking through the gap in the wind that had been beaten away stared at Suou.

\'\'At this point in time, Phase 3...!

Suou\'s voice was slightly scratchy.

\'\'The queen was the only one who was turned into a military family member.......!　d*mn, but why...!

\'I\'m afraid I\'ve lost my touch. Suou of Night.

Ei spoke with a tone of confidence for some reason.

\'\'I\'ve read Beni\'s materials, so there\'s no doubt about it. It\'s Phase 3 of the 《Characteristic Amplification》. Although it\'s a temporary merging, Kyousuke and Himemizu are now in a state of complete fusion at the cellular, molecular, and demon spirit child levels. In other words, an EX Stream Cross. Yes, if you want to name it, it\'s an Extreme Cross!

You can\'t give me a name like that.

Kyousuke makes a dumbfounded face (...) and says. The other students are completely dumbfounded by the figure that has changed so much, even if temporarily.

A neutral face that can\'t be described as either male or female. The slender body and light blue hair. It\'s an ideal figure assembled in a state of communal consciousness between Kyousuke and Rin, an imitation that is possible only because the two are in a state of perfect fusion.

\'I\'m sorry. But I gave Himemizu all the important role in getting you back on your feet. You deserve a role of this magnitude.\'\'

Because, Rin.

Well, speaking of perks, I am one too, so whatever.

From somewhere in Kyousuke\'s body, where he shrugs his shoulders, he naturally hears Rin\'s voice. It was a prolonged conversation, but the look on Suou\'s face as he watched it was stern.

\'\'Uzurogi...!

Kenzaki spoke up on behalf of the stunned students.

\'\'And Himemizu too........ Are you alright already?\'\'

It\'s perfect!

Rin responded by shouting. Kyousuke nodded.

\'\'Yeah, thanks for worrying me. Let us have this place for now... oops.

Did Suou\'s vigilance get through to him? The chimera shook off Okumura and Zekou\'s bodies as they tried to seize them and turned to face Kyousuke. The chimera barked and charged at Kyousuke. Kyousuke didn\'t even try to avoid it. I\'m sure you\'ll be able to find out what\'s going on in the world, but I\'m sure you\'ll be able to find out what\'s going on in the world.

\'\'Nah...!

Suou shouted in astonishment. The chimera\'s blow was as formidable as if it had been a charge into the water. Of all the students watching, Kenzaki was still the most honest in expressing his surprise.

\'\'Eh, it liquefied!

\'Don\'t be surprised. It\'s a fully fused Kyousuke and Himemizu. They can even control the composition of body tissue at will. Of course, liquefaction, including bones, is just the beginning.

\'\'Why is Hino so happy to be explaining things...\'\'

Leaving the commentary to his best friend, Kyousuke turned back to the chimera. The liquefaction was instantaneous. The body\'s structure quickly returns to its original state.

A punch with all his might is released into the face of the standing chimera.

\'\'O-ryaaaah!\'\'

Not even the slightest discrepancy in the link of consciousness existed. It went from density manipulation to hardening in an instant, and the impact that it fulfilled was a mere blow to the goat\'s head that the chimera held. The remaining lion\'s head screamed and floundered as it held the wound.

Glancing over, Kyousuke\'s gaze turned to Sakuma, who was rolling on the deck. He seems to have just fainted, but perhaps the poison from earlier is still strong. If the treatment was delayed, it could leave an after-effect.

\'\'Kyousuke-kun, Saku-chan is........\'\'

Yeah, I know. We\'ll get rid of Sakuma\'s poison as soon as we can. And for that.........

Kyousuke clenched his fists tightly and took up a Jeet Kune Do stance relative to the chimera.

\'\'First, I\'m going to have that body give you back your eagle-tail!
