I, Who Saved Xingyue, Became the Master of Xingyue

Their father in the ancient city, the father named "Xiaoya City", is an archaeologist.Although he is a scholar, he is not the kind of intellectual calm type who is locked up in a research room to study documents. It is more like fighting around the disputed areas of various countries in the world, busy snatching excavated items, and taking advantage of the fire. The difference is only a piece of paper. field researcher.

The research theme of such a castle is the event called "Sacred Sword".It seems to be a major event in history that is recorded even in the scriptures of Western European churches.

"However, this is just a legend. In fact, it is said that there is no evidence to prove that such a thing exists..."

"Yeah. It's fine if it's just a legend..."

Liana murmured with a tired expression for some reason.Although Gucheng felt that her attitude was a little strange, but before asking this question, the car they took left the main road and drove into a wilderness full of rocks.It seemed that there was a trace of the destination ahead of us.

"I can already see it. That's the investigation team's campsite."

Liana clenched the steering wheel desperately and said.Because it drove into the huge undulating rock pile, the car bumped violently.If you speak casually, you will easily bite your tongue.

The campsite, which I finally arrived at shortly after, is an unpretentious place where tent factory dormitories gather.Since there are several heavy machinery for excavation, there are few things that should be called survey equipment.

In its place, the attention was paid to guards from civilian military companies, as well as heavily armed armored vehicles.It is not so much the site of the excavation of the ruins as it is the armed stronghold of the guerrillas.

"I always think it's a good security guard. Could it be buried treasure or something?"

"If there is such a thing, Dad will take the lead in finding a loophole to steal it all, and then run away..."

Nagisa and Kojoro got out of the car while talking without authorization.then--

"—Who do you think will steal everything?"

Suddenly, a man hugged the shoulders of the two from behind.It was a man wearing an old top hat and a leather jacket, and the smell of wine and gunpowder wafted from his body.

"Tooth City-kun!"

Nagisa looked up at her long-lost father, and made a bright voice.Like coaxing a child, Yacheng gently hugged his daughter on his head.

The other party is the father of Akatsuki Kojo and Akatsuki Nagisa. He is a tall and strong Japanese man. His skin has been exposed to the sun for a long time, his face is full of confidence, and his hair is also trimmed by himself. It looked like it had been cut with a knife, and he had a prominent stubble on his chin, and he was also very strangely dressed-it was a faded leather trench coat and a fedora.He is not so much an investigator of relics, but more like a Mafia member out of date or a private eye with no business.

Because he can always survive many dangerous ruins alone, he is called "survivor of the dead city".

"Oh, Nagisa! I thought there would be an angel like this, but it turns out to be my daughter! Haha, it's finally here. Haven't seen her for a while, has she grown into a more beautiful woman?"

"Hey... Lord Yacheng, I'm very sorry!"

Nagisa, who was picked up, protested with a flushed face.Yacheng smiled cheerfully with that tanned face.

"It's been a long journey. You're not in danger, are you?"

"Yeah. Because Gucheng-kun is there."

"Um... the ancient city?"

Until now, Yacheng seemed to have finally remembered the existence of his son.He tilted his head in disbelief from the bottom of his heart, and asked in a blunt tone, "Hey, brat. Why are you here?"

"It's a guardian, a guardian! It's impossible for Nagisa to travel alone!"

"...I don't think it will be of any use even if you come."

Just like that, Nagisa sat on his shoulder, and Yacheng put his hand on his chin with an "um".

"Well, forget it. Don't hinder my work, kid..."

"The treatment between me and Nagisa is really different. Damn dad."

Said Kojou, who twisted his mouth bitterly.Although it was impossible to get angry, she was already used to this man's stinky mouth.It's not so bad when I think about being treated as an equal man.

"Anyway, let's go eat. The cuisine of this island is also very good. Especially the special sausage goes well with the local beer."

"We are still completely minors!"

Gucheng couldn't help but feel a headache for Yacheng's old daddy style.However, Nagisa, who should have complained first at this time, was not listening to Kojou and the others.

"Nagisa?"

"Did you notice..."

Aware of Nagisa's change, Kagura muttered solemnly.

What she watched wordlessly was the foothills of the rock pile.The entrance to a stone cave that looks like a temple.

By no means a spectacular relic.The reddened limestone has been eroded by wind and rain, and it has become pitted and not exquisitely decorated.Was it an accident during the excavation work? The wreckage of destroyed vehicles was scattered around.

But even so, there is still a strange aura floating around.

It's like rejecting a confused approacher, a feeling of coercion similar to that of a king.

"Is that... a relic?"

"Hmm. The legacy of the 'Holy Annihilation' - the twelfth 'Fairy's Coffin'."

"The elf's...coffin..."

The ancient city's mouth recollected this poetic sound that was rough and inconsistent.

And Nagisa seemed to be fascinated by something, and continued to stare at the ruins without a word.

But at this moment, Tianyang, Heizi, and Nangong are still looking for this place that month. After all, they are not Xiaoya City. a period of time.

Chapter 10 Ruins

The next morning—Kojo and Nagisa came out of the campsite before dawn and came to the nearby forest.

Fresh water is very precious for Malta, which is surrounded by sea on all sides.But the water source of Gozo Island is relatively rich, even full of clear spring water.

And Nagisa was soaking in that small water spring.It's just a bath to remove filth and hone the spirit to the limit.Even though Malta has a relatively warm Mediterranean climate, it can be quite cold in the morning.

All she was wearing was a thin white undergarment, and the water-soaked cloth stuck tightly to her skin, making her petite body look even smaller.

"Take a good look and don't let others come over, Gu Gucheng!"

Nagisa shouted loudly to the ancient city who was waiting behind the rock.

"Oh—" Gu Cheng shook his hand in a non-motivated manner.Although I wanted to say that no weird person would come to such an uninhabited wasteland to watch a primary school student take a bath, but I wanted to say that being alone would probably make her uneasy, so I had no choice but to follow.However, Nagisa said to such a brother who was thinking about his sister,

"Don't peek at Gu Gucheng!"

"Who would peek!"

"Wow!? So, don't look over here!"

Nagisa who had just finished bathing and was changing clothes screamed and threw something over, and while his vision was covered by a soaked towel, Kojou fell down from the pain caused by the attack of the leather boots.

"Gu Gucheng, your nose is bleeding! It's so nasty!"

"It's not all because you threw your boots over here!"

She was wearing a white robe with a hakama, Chihaya's shrine maiden costume.The long black hair was tied up with sandalwood paper and water.

"Just wait! Okay, let's go. It's just for this, so you have to work hard!"

"Don't force it. After all, you didn't need to help Dad's work."

While pressing the root of his nose, Gu Gucheng said in a vague voice.

And Nagisa glanced at the ancient city and smiled mischievously.

"Yeah. But, Nagisa, I'm also interested in this ruin."

The heels of the shoes rattled as they walked, and the girl in the witch costume jumped up and down.

"I don't know why this ruin is filled with a sad atmosphere."

"Well... after all, it's called a coffin, so maybe someone will be buried here...

Kojou followed behind Nagisa and took steps towards the campsite.

At the entrance to the campsite stood a strong, bearded man.Although it looks strong, it does not feel intimidating.A friendly smile appeared on his thick lips.

"The children that GAJO called from Japan are you."

The man spoke to him in stammering Japanese.Gu Gucheng was slightly stunned by the unfamiliar words that came out of his mouth.

"...GAJO?"

"My name is Dimas Caruso. I have received a lot of support from GAJO in my work. I am currently serving as the leader of the local staff here. Please take care of me."

"Hello. Daddy always troubles you. I'm sorry.

It seems that it is Yacheng. Gucheng deduced this and then held the man's outstretched right hand.The man who called himself Caruso smiled happily.

"Haha. By the way, what is this lady wearing? It looks like a skirt I've never seen before."

"It's a Japanese-style shrine maiden's costume. Although it's not necessary to change into this kind of costume, but according to myself, this kind of costume makes me feel better."

"Witch costume? GAJO's daughter turns out to be a witch..."

Staring at Nagisa who smiled shyly, Caruso let out a sigh.

"That said, I haven't received any proper training. I'm just helping out at my grandma's house occasionally. But since I've inherited the bloodline of the over-adapted mother, I think it will be useful at least a little bit."

Kojou added that, while Nagisa raised her arms in a victory pose as if to say, "I'll do my best!"

"So that's the case, that's really reliable. After all, neither ultrasonic detection nor detection magic will work in this ruin, so to be honest, we were helpless. I'll leave it to you."

Caruso nodded as if convinced.

The quality of being a psychic medium inherited from her parents' grandmother, and the power of an overadapter inherited from her mother - Nagisa is an extremely rare mixed ability who possesses both abilities at the same time.This is why Yacheng specially called her here from Japan.

Nagisa's ability to see through the past has pinpointed the location of buried ruins or deciphered undecipherable ancient inscriptions several times so far.However, those performances are all voluntary activities entrusted by universities or specialized organizations.

It was the first time that Kagi used Nagisa's power in his work.This is the reason why the ancient city was vaguely uneasy.

It is said that Yacheng seems to have objected to calling Nagisa in the end.

However, the funders of the ruins investigation team still called Nagisa semi-strongly, and Gagi reluctantly accepted.That is to say, the investigation of the ruins this time is so important, but it is also dangerous.This can be easily imagined just by looking at the tight security around the campsite.

"Are you also inspired?"

Caruso, who was responsible for guarding, asked in a nonchalant tone.

"No, not at all. I'm just an escort."

"Really. Well, everyone has their own responsibilities. Protect your sister."

I'll do it, Gujou shrugs, then casts a glance at the automatic rifle Caruso is holding.

"How to say, what a powerful piece of equipment, isn't the 'Demon Special Zone' really scary, for example, security or something."

"It's nothing like that. Because the management is in place, the number of magical crimes is overwhelmingly lower than in other countries."

Caruso smiled brightly in order to reassure the ancient city.
