One defense and one attack.

He couldn’t shake the feeling that it was too full of holes to be used as a criterion for judgment, but Shigure didn’t care.

‘There’s a reason Dad was so concerned about him.’

That one time alone was enough to make her feel that the power that Do Yu-jin had been hiding was far beyond her imagination.

“What, what is that? Did that guy just catch Oni? Really?”

“It just seemed like he was just walking around and swinging his dagger around like he was playing around?”

While Shigure was quietly shocked among the refugees who were still mumbling about the situation.

Woohoo-

The necklace around her neck vibrated slightly, sending her a signal.

‘Huh? Ah… … ‘

Shigure, who was still not used to wearing something around his neck, flapped his hands in confusion, then felt the texture of the necklace with his fingers and let out a small, embarrassed exclamation.

Doyujin, who was recovering from her exhaustion while drinking Shuten-Doji’s sake that was falling like rain for a while, looked at Shigure who was bowing his head slightly and then slowly said what she wanted to say.

A new order was given before the shock of Do Yu-jin’s blow had even subsided.

Of course, Shigure listened to Doyujin’s words with a heightened sense of spirit.

“Huh?”

After hearing the words through the choker, she let out such a foolish sound without realizing it.

‘What? Is it really okay to just do this?’

When Shigure looked at Doyujin with a puzzled look, he just nodded quietly, meaning to do as he was told.

Shigure was momentarily puzzled by the absurd order.

‘Hmm, well, all the orders he gives are like this, a little off-topic.’

Thinking about it again, it felt like something quite new, so Shigure decided to just accept the situation and take action.

Hit-

“Huh? Sister?”

Tagame, who had been covering his mouth with an expression of emotion as he was absorbed in Doyujin, quickly wiped away the tears that were streaming down his face when he saw Shigure approaching.

‘Why is he crying again?’

Shigure looked at that sight with bewilderment, but he wrote a short message on the floor as Doyujin had told him to and conveyed it to him.

-Cheer up.

“Cheer up? Oh! Are you telling me to cheer up for my brother?”

Shigure shook his head slowly at Tagame’s sparkling words and wrote Doyujin’s words down on the floor once more.

-No, that’s not it. Support that girl over there. In your own way.

“Yes?”

Tagame tilted his head, but turned his eyes in the direction Shigure was pointing.

Gulp-! Gulp-! Gulp-!

“Poohaaa!!!”

There, Rumi was seen emptying a large glass of alcohol a little distance away from Do Yu-jin.

‘What’s that guy? Is he really drinking alcohol right now?’

At first, Tagame was taken aback, but soon he saw something and opened his eyes wide.

‘Those clothes are definitely… … my cute baby that I gave to you when we broke up?’

Tagame was not usually very perceptive, no matter how well he was spoken of.

‘There’s no way that such a strong hyung would have his special forces uniform stolen by such a strange woman… … I don’t know what it is, but it seems like that girl is on hyung’s side!’

Tagame, who was like that at the time, made a hasty decision that was not appropriate for him and looked at Shigure to ask if that was right.

‘What, why are you looking at me all of a sudden?’

Shigure nodded his head in agreement, although he looked slightly puzzled.

A situation where two people’s intentions miraculously coincide despite there being nothing to match.

Paat-!

Tagame, who had been looking around for a moment, climbed onto a piece of debris that happened to be just the right size.

‘… … But what should I do?’

I went up because I felt like I had to move, but honestly, I was more worried.

Since the hallway was empty just a little while ago, I was able to somehow maintain discipline among my subordinates.

But now, unlike back then, I’m being watched by hundreds of Oni in a wide-open stadium.

Thanks to Do Yu-jin showing off her victory over Oni, the pressure she felt when she first came here had already disappeared, but even so, would it be possible to change their minds again?

‘… I don’t know!’

Since ancient times, only those who lack confidence in their ability to succeed do so by thinking outside the box!

Tagame stopped thinking and took a deep breath.

Men have always spoken with their backs and actions!

If once doesn’t work, ten times.

If ten times don’t work, try a hundred times.

He will lead them through his actions.

Kuung-!

“Red Tail!”

Tagame, who had made up his mind like that, stamped his feet and chanted the slogan again.

And at that moment.

“““The Strongest!!!”””

A miracle happened.

‘you……!’

A cheer so loud it almost rips your ears.

Tagame, hearing his subordinates’ cries, made a tearful expression and shouted the command again.

The strongest-!

invincibility-!

His subordinates accepted him and filled the cold stadium with their heat.

And that was the beginning.

“““The Strongest!!!”””

Even those who had been captured by Oni and were almost lying on the ground with all sorts of injuries began to shout along in response to their shouts.

If it were normal, no matter how much they tried, they would have been easily eaten up by the oni’s screams.

But now that was impossible.

Because the atmosphere in the stadium was completely controlled by Do Yu-jin.

So the cries of the people continued to spread without interruption.

‘What a loud and desperate cry… …!’

Tagame’s eyes were red with emotion.

So I couldn’t notice.

“““Invincible!!!”””

The eyes of his subordinates looking at him were somewhat blurry.

First of all-

In the distance, Yumi, a fox with a white and black tail wagging, is giving Do Yu-jin a thumbs up.

There is a saying that one is bewitched by a fox.

Originally, it was just a joke about people being captivated by the sight of a cute fox, but this is a world where all kinds of mysteries are alive and breathing.

Of course, the fox here really had the power to charm people and make them move as she wanted.

And Yumi is the ninth tail left behind by the nine-tailed fox who reached the highest level among such foxes, the white-faced nine-tailed fox who is said to have even touched the sky.

In simple terms.

Salang-

Even if he was a one-tailed fox, it was a piece of cake to lure a few tired and injured people into screaming.

‘What’s going on all of a sudden?’

While Do Yu-jin was drawing attention, Rumi and Shigure were bewildered by the sudden wave of cheers that spread out, not knowing that Yumi had been running around, captivating people, restoring their bodies, and casting a spell to raise their voices to their limits.

“Hi!”

Shuten-Doji, who was watching the situation unfold while gulping down the penalty drink, smirked as if he found it amusing.

“I see. I was wondering why some humans suddenly appeared. Are they the rest of the Hundred Ghosts’ Night Walk that you led? ”

“… … Well, you could say that.”

After hearing Shuten-Doji’s words, Rumi realized that Doyujin had created this situation, nodded once, and then raised the glass she had in her mouth.

Because if I didn’t cover my face like that, it would be obvious that what I was saying was a lie.

“Poohahaha!”

Seeing her like that, Shuten-Doji burst into laughter.

“What the heck, I thought you were just a puppet that guy was controlling, but you seem to know how to answer.”

“You have a mouth, so speak. Then where do you think you’ve been drinking alcohol until now?”

Rumi shouted nervously, wiping the alcohol from the corner of her mouth.

“And now that the situation is like this, I have no choice but to give in to that guy. Once this is all over, that guy is dead to me!”

Shudder-!

Do Yu-jin’s body trembled slightly without her knowing it at the scream filled with deep desire.

“Poohahahaha!!!”

Shuten-Doji laughed loudly as if he couldn’t hold it in any longer.

“Yeah! I was definitely wrong! No matter how I look at it, it’s not a puppet!”

Turuk-

“Okay! Now that I think I’ve had my fill of it, shall we slowly wrap up the ritual?”

“What?”

Rumi looked at Do Yu-jin in confusion at the sudden declaration.

Do Yu-jin was also embarrassed, but he soon nodded.

It was unexpected to hear those words come out of Shuten-Doji’s mouth, but Doyujin was also thinking that it was time to end the ghost ritual.

So, this was a happy miscalculation for Do Yu-jin.

“Now, if you’ve been keeping your eyes open until now, you’ll know that the Ghost Festival is your victory.”

Shhh-

“I have seen a very satisfying ghost festival for the first time in hundreds of years, so I will give you a reward as a token of my appreciation.”

“You’re giving compensation?”

“Okay. So pick one.”

Shuten-Doji smiled and held out two fingers to Rumi.

“Will you accept my life as a reward for helping to create a mood for the Ghost Festival and simply step down? Or will you take the opportunity to challenge me one-on-one and devour my Hundred Ghosts’ Night Walk as your own?”

The moment I heard those words.

Wheeze-

Rumi finally realized what Do Yu-jin had drawn and reflexively looked back at him.

Shuten-Doji chuckled at the sight of Rumi like that and asked again.

“So, what kind of reward do you want?”
