I thought it would be 'smooth' here too.

But at this time people looked at Blank's trembling flight and began to feel anxious, and they couldn't put it on the hook with the word "smooth".

'This--? '

'It doesn't work at all. '

At this moment, Plum, who connected the two and became their wings, looked at them and murmured:

"Yes, the opponent is a Flügel! Even if I borrow my power, that, the two of you have never flown before...

It's absolutely impossible to compete in speed with the Flügel..."

Even though he was fighting hard to control the wings, Sora answered with a relaxed tone.

"Don't worry, in the game of ghost and man, it's certainly beneficial to run fast—but it's not guaranteed."

"It's true to say that...but even so..."

Seeing them like that, Plum, who was transformed into a scarf, sighed inwardly.

The faces of everyone could not help but sink.

Had a bad feeling——

really--

They heard Bram's voice——

——The Flügel, even if they don't use space transfer, their existence itself is a race that transcends physics.

Although Bram hadn't seen them flying at full speed, it was easy to imagine from their nature.

As long as they show their true skills—not to mention the speed of sound, it is even possible to fly at hypersonic speed.

Even if speed does not determine the outcome of ghost hunting, after all, it is impossible for a turtle to win a race with a horse.

Anyway, with such jerky flying skills——

To win is - not quite -?

"... Huh? Odd, strange?"

Regardless of what Bram discovered at the moment, people's minds are now filled with the description of 'the turtle and the horse'.

Is there really such a desperate gap?

More desperate than the tortoise and the hare.

ha?I can't really lose.

People can't help but look towards the blank,

The elves tried to see even a trace of panic on Sora's face.

but no-

Not to mention Bram this time, the expressions on everyone's face became a bit hellish and surprised.

'What is Blank (now) thinking? ’ It’s an unavoidable question that people explore in their hearts.

And what about the other side?

Bram was feeling a sense of dissonance.

Unknowingly, Sora and Shiro's flapping wings and flying posture stabilized.

Their speed gradually increased, blowing the scarf—the wind blowing on Bram was getting stronger.

"...Umm, why did you ask me to make one wing for each person—one for each side?"

Suddenly thinking of this belated question, Plum asked them.

Literally, the siblings wove her wings into their own in a blink of an eye.

They looked at each other and laughed.

"Of course—because otherwise our victory is uncertain."

Conversely, as long as you do that, you will definitely win, the two held hands as if saying so.

— as long as our hands are still connected.

- You won't lose to anyone.

People who got the 'answer' from the blank fell into a daze even more incomprehensibly.

Where does this self-confidence come from?Probably only Blank and the two of them understood by themselves.

Hermetos looked at the two,

"This time... what have you planned?"

Even if forced to compete...

The God of Alchemy wouldn't believe that Blank was really so unprepared, just playing Temple Escape with the Flügel!

Just let him wait and see.

at the same time--

the other side……

Neither Blank, nor Stephen and the others from Alzia Royal Castle,

This time it was from the perspective of the other contestant.

"Empty weapons—just objects—just dolls—the Flügel."

As a tool for the master to defeat the gods, that was enough.

But more than [-] years have passed since they lost their masters—why do the Flügel still exist?

For a long time, in order to find that 'answer', they wandered together with Avant Heim until now.

however--

Jibril, who left without permission, but came back abruptly——she has definitely changed.

She was almost like... that's right - like she had found the "answer".

A scene, like snowflakes in a memoir, reappears before people's eyes, helping people recall Jibril's focus on blankness,

It was the day when I found my faith in life and took it as my god!

It also reminds people of the tears that shed because of joy,

The words spoken by the Flügel named Jibril at that time: "Our sad wish has finally come true..."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

At the time, I even thought it was a bit exaggerated, and Jibril's personality cult of Blank had risen to a pathological level.

But no one has ever really connected it with the sad wish of the entire Flügel.

Now, people have to start thinking about that question again——

The truth hidden under those tears.

……

Azrael propped her cheeks with her hands, and looked up into the void.

On the floor just now, in order to abide by Sora's condition—the hundred Flügel who waited for five minutes also looked in the same direction.

The image floating in the void—the silhouette of Sora and Shiro.

"...Xiaoji, the final mission entrusted by Artosh-sama——If anyone can find the answer, I think the only one is the "final number individual" Jiji. "

"..."

——That's for a reason.

However, the problem is not there, Azrael put aside that reason in her heart and continued:

"If Xiaoji's answer is the answer implanted with a covenant—"

——In order not to let Sora and Shiro know what they confirmed in the Sky Wing language.

As if warning again, Azrael still had a masked smile on her face, and said to Jibril:

"I'll use 'privilege' - you know what that means? "

"Yes, but——asking the truth is something that a dull person would do! Senior."

"privilege"? !

Everyone listened to the conversation between the two in amazement.

Coupled with the memory scene that appeared not long ago, and the narration just now,

They all seem to be telling people one thing... This game is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

For the Flügel, it seems to have an even more important meaning.

Just to verify that so-called 'answer'?

--yes?

And what exactly is that privilege?

People looked around, those Flügel who heard Azrael's words and began to feel a tense atmosphere.

Then I found out about that.

——"All Wings Agent"——"Eighteen Wings Council" Speaker Azrael...

The only privilege that Azrael, who is not a plenipotentiary agent, has...

It was agreed upon more than [-] years ago and based on the consent of everyone.

"—"The right to order suicide for all Flügel"...why not? "

Hearing Jibril say that in a relaxed tone, Azrael narrowed her eyes.

Everyone took a deep breath——

"Suicide order"? !
