-So, what do you plan to do from now on?

The wind, unable to keep up with the speed of the motorcycle, blew past their ears, making a rough sound.

Well, the two of them were talking through the necklace around Shigure’s neck, so it didn’t really matter whether they did or not, but maybe it was thanks to that?

-Do you have a proper plan?

Do Yu-jin could feel the deep anxiety in Shigure’s voice.

Although he was of the position that he would follow the order for now, Shigure was honestly skeptical about splitting the group in half and moving.

It wasn’t because I doubted Erio and Yuna’s abilities.

Quite the opposite.

What Shigure was worried about now was not those two, but himself.

-Did we really have to move by ourselves?

-This was the best.

Do Yu-jin said as she used her shadow to cut down a group of monsters that were approaching them without them knowing.

-It’s a bit hard to explain, but even if Erio and I move together, all we can do is hold onto each other.

What would happen if Erio and Doyujin moved together?

Erio would have sealed his greatest weapon, his mobility, and remained motionless in that spot for the sole reason that he had to protect Doyujin from any possible threats.

‘And since I don’t have the skill to fool Erio’s senses and swing my shadow right next to him, I couldn’t even raise a hand secretly like I did now, I would have just stood still.’

It was a hundred times better to move apart like this than to be tied down like that.

‘Of course it’s dangerous… … but anyway, most of the monsters will go towards the noisy ones, so there won’t be a problem.’

Of course, Do Yu-jin did not tell Shigure her true feelings.

Neither Erio nor Shigure were people I could honestly tell my true feelings to.

However, since just hiding it wouldn’t be enough to calm Shigure’s anxiety, Doyujin decided to try another method.

-Actually, we’re not the only ones moving there. There’s someone who needs help.

-Huh? What, there was reinforcements too?

Support, support… …

-Yes. There is a problem that we don’t know where they will turn, so if we make a mistake, they might attack us, but if we just recruit them, they will be a huge help to us.

-Uh… … Are those reinforcements? If you listen to the description, it just sounds like a bomb.

-You could say they’re similar.

-No, it won’t work if they’re similar! Then wouldn’t it be better to just not accept it?

-Unfortunately, we have no choice. We need his help to end this situation quickly.

‘What the heck, who are you talking about?’

Shigure tilted his head, feeling a strange mixture of sigh and worry in Doyujin’s voice.

-So first of all, before you meet that guy, I’ll tell you some things to watch out for.

-Are there any precautions?

-Yeah, it’s not that difficult. It’s just that you have to hide your identity.

While Shigure was thinking to himself that it was nothing special, Doyujin added strongly.

-But very thoroughly.

No face exposure, no voice exposure, no technology exposure, etc.

Do Yu-jin, who had been repeating similar words about ten times, made a slight gesture.

-By the way, this also applies to Yumi, so please explain it carefully.

-no……

Even though he could feel how bewildered Shigure was right now in that short sentence, Doyujin couldn’t help it.

To be honest, Doyujin had half given up on hiding her cards when it came to Erio and Shigure.

But from now on, I couldn’t give up on hiding my defeat against the guy I was about to meet.

Because I didn’t have the confidence to take responsibility for the aftermath.

‘I’m a little worried about that Tagame guy… … Well, I guess it’ll be okay. Our relationship is destined to end here anyway, and he only knows my face, not my name.’

While I was having this conversation with Shigure,

Squeak-

Tagame stopped the motorcycle he was riding and said.

“Arrived, bro.”

A drop of sweat ran down Tagame’s disheveled hair as he spoke so quietly.

With his face frozen and covered in cold sweat, it was obvious to anyone that he was nervous.

‘That’s not unreasonable. This guy must have checked the current situation and what kind of guys are running wild there through the chat that keeps coming up.’

Do Yu-jin, who was thinking about that, looked at Tagame with a new look of wonder.

Because I couldn’t figure out what on earth he believed in that made him follow me to a place like this.

‘Anyway, there are too many fools in the world.’

Swish-

“As I said, from here on out, we’re going to split up and move.”

Do Yu-jin said while looking at Shigure.

“You stick with Tagame and while we fight the monsters and make a fuss, save as many people as possible as quickly as possible. Then, move as explained on the way here.”

Perhaps conscious of the conversation just now, Shigure nodded in response.

at that time.

“… … Is that okay?”

Tagame asked with a slightly trembling voice.

“It’s okay. I’m going to do my job as bait properly, so unless you make a fuss and make a fuss, you won’t get caught. And even if you do get caught, it’ll be okay because he’s here.”

“No, that’s not it.”

Tagame scratched his head as if trying to get his mind out, then looked at Doyujin and asked.

“What would you do if I ran away? Aren’t you worried?”

“Huh?”

Words I never thought of.

Do Yu-jin opened her eyes slightly wide and looked at Tagame, then said calmly.

“Specifically?”

By the way, Do Yu-jin meant that whether you run away or not, it doesn’t affect my plan.

‘Brother, you treat me like this… … ‘

However, Tagame took Doyujin’s words to mean that he trusted her that much, and his eyes turned red.

Tagame, who was so moved by himself, made a firm resolution.

I will definitely do my part in this plan.

“Brother! Is there anything else I can help you with?”

Tagame said in a voice full of spirit.

‘What the heck is this?’

Looking at that sight, Do Yu-jin felt dumbfounded, but instinctively scanned Tagame to see if there was anything else to tear.

Then something caught my eye.

“Then, can you lend me the clothes you’re wearing?”

“If it’s clothes… … this?”

“Yeah, that one.”

Tagame was currently wearing what looked like a school uniform converted into a coat, with the words “Red Tail” written clearly in red on the back, commonly referred to as a special forces uniform.

At Doyujin’s words, Tagame nodded once and took it off without hesitation and held it out.

“This is the soul of our Red Tail, brother. Please take good care of it.”

“Yeah.”

Anyway, that’s a bluff.

Do Yu-jin spoke calmly on the outside while thinking that way inside.

“Then please take care of it.”

◎ ◎ ◎

Vroom-!

The two set out with the remaining Red Tail team members to rescue those trapped in the city, and shortly afterwards.

“Then… … ”

Swish-

Do Yu-jin looked around for a moment, then took out [Palace Hatred (7★)] from her bosom and said.

“Shall we go too?”

“Father… … ”

In his ears, he could hear the sound of Yumi, the only person left by Do Yu-jin’s side, looking very depressed with her ears stretched out.

“I’m asking just in case, just in case… … Could it be that this body was left behind because it was the weakest and most useless this time?”

Chuuk-

The gloomy atmosphere is further heightened by the black cloak he has pulled down on himself, which he found by searching a nearby store to hide his identity.

Looking at him, Do Yu-jin let out a small sigh.

‘I thought something was strange because you were so quiet, but it turned out you were still in shock from what I just said.’

Do Yu-jin opened her mouth, thinking that she should speak more gently from now on.

“Don’t misunderstand, that’s not true at all. Rather, this time, I left it because I really need your help, Yumi.”

Chong-geut-!

Sway sway-

Perhaps sensing the sincerity in Do Yu-jin’s words, Yu-mi straightened her ears and moved her tail slightly to lightly sweep the floor.

Evidence that, even if only a little, I feel better.

Do Yu-jin, who saw him, spoke with more force.

“And actually, I’m saying this now, but the reason I said it that way in the beginning was because I had no choice.”

“Hmm? What do you mean it couldn’t be helped?”

“Yumi, you may not know this, but those two have a slightly childish side. So if you hadn’t complimented them like that, they probably wouldn’t have moved.”

Swish swish-

“That’s why I said that back then, you’re mature and kind Yumi, please understand.”

Mental persuasion using [Suspicion of the Dark Ghost] and physical persuasion using [Tssdam Tssdam].

There’s even a magic phrase that has absolute effectiveness against kids, and that you, the adult, should be patient with.

“Hoohoo! If that’s the case, then there’s nothing I can do!”

Yumi, whose mood suddenly lifted as she used the three divine devices to capture the child’s heart at the same time, stood up confidently and spoke with her hands on her hips.

“Thank you, then shall we go?”

As Do Yu-jin said that, she gently placed a mask on Yu-mi’s head.

“Oh, the fox mask! As expected, Dad has good taste!”

Yumi smiled, put on her mask, and lightly spun her body around in place as if showing off her clothes.

An impressive fox mask and black cloak, an appearance that seems like something out of a Japanese ghost story.

Do Yu-jin watched Yu-mi like that for a moment, then took her in his arms and started the motorcycle.

“Then, Father, I would like to ask what you plan to do from now on.”

“Well, first of all, I plan on finding people.”

Vroom-

“I think you can find it right away if you go to the noisiest place… … ”

At the same time that Do Yu-jin said that.

Kwakwakwakwang–!!!

Not too far away, a deafening roar was heard.

A loud bang, completely different from the sound of an explosion caused by a gas explosion, a physical impact that sounded like a huge truck slamming its body into a steel building.

The two people who heard that loud noise looked at each other at the same time.

‘Father, is that the person who made that ignorant sound the one you mentioned earlier?’

Yumi asked with her eyes.

‘Hmm… … I think that might be right?’

Do Yu-jin nodded her head as she said the same thing with her eyes.

Vroom-!

After a short and quick exchange of opinions, the two men rode their motorcycles to find the presumed source of the sound.

And at that place I found.

“Ahahahaha! What! What’s this?”

The two saw a beast roaring proudly on top of a mountain made up of the corpses of all kinds of monsters.

A wild and unpredictable orange beast, as pure as yellow and as intense as red.

“This time, some guy came here wanting to break my head… ”

Looking at Kagura Rumi smiling brightly while her whole body was covered in blood, Doyujin and Yumi thought at the same time.

‘It’s just like what I saw in the game. No, maybe a little worse?’

‘I don’t know what it is, but I know she’s a total crazy bitch.’

When the woman was thinking of similar feelings.

“Huh? What, you were that… … !”

Rumi, who had regained some sense, shouted with her eyes wide open and shining a blood red color.

After hearing that, Yumi looked at Do Yujin and asked.

“Father, are you by any chance acquainted with that crazy woman?”

“Who said you were out of your mind… … No, wait a minute. What did you just say?”

“Huh? You said dad?”

After hearing Yumi’s words, Rumi froze for a moment and then shouted with a shocked face.

“What! A daughter?!”

Sigh-

‘Did I come for nothing… … ‘

What should I say… … Rumi’s help is essential to deal with the situation unfolding in this city right now.

But I came here with that confidence.

“You, you, you, you’re married?!”

Looking at that sight, I couldn’t help but doubt that thought.

“Hey! No matter how much I pushed you too hard last time, bringing your daughter is just too much… … ”

“Haa… … ”

Do Yu-jin sighed and covered Yu-mi’s fox ears, which were twitching continuously at Jeong-su-ri, with both hands.

What I’m going to say from now on is that it wasn’t very educational.

“Shut up.”

“What?”

Before a flustered Rumi could say anything.

Clang!

Do Yu-jin pulled out countless black strings from Rumi’s shadow and bound her.

Rumi suddenly became unable to do anything.

Kwak-!

“I’m in a hurry, so I’ll get to the point quickly.”

He grabbed her by the collar and spoke with the cold gaze he had practiced on his way here.

“I need your strength to kill all the oni that are popping out right now.”

If someone had seen this sight, they would have been shocked and asked, “What kind of request is this?”

But strictly speaking, that was wrong.

That’s understandable, because what Do Yu-jin is doing now isn’t a request.

“So help me.”

Because it was an order.
