I, with a long knife in my hand, can only do one move

After Ayesha responded, she ignored Yao completely, and ran out directly.

"Wait...wait a minute..."

The one who was hit hard wanted to follow in a hurry, but Jack in front of her obviously wouldn't let her escape like this.

"Of course I won't wait for you, your game will end here."

After Jack said that, the lantern in his hand jumped out into the flames, and then the small flames instantly engulfed all the surrounding tree roots, forming a giant curtain of flames that burned violently.

Facing the overwhelming heat and density that was completely different from before, Yō gasped.

"The world's oldest pumpkin ghost... Jack-o'-lantern...."

"What a correct guess, little girl." As if praising the flag of his own community, Jack spread his arms and declared loudly with the blazing flames behind him as the background.

: "Come on! Girl with her own system tree! Let the undead monster branded by St. Peter - Jack-o'-lantern be your opponent!"

The raging flames from hell burned fiercely, engulfing the entire tree root cavity into a sea of ​​flames, and the accompanying intense oppressive feeling made Yao unable to even conceive the idea of ​​"conquering" it.

.....

------

"Winner: Aisha Ignifatus!"

Whoa-!

The hallway under the sudden silence reverberated with enthusiastic cheers. After the stalemate between Cheng Rang and Shizaiye until now, it was actually only a few minutes.

"Looks like the game is over."

"It's just getting started here, you stinky Obasan!"

A striking red trajectory struck him from Shizaye's right fist, but in an instant, Cheng Rang discovered that this final attack trajectory would not hit him.

Is this the last test?

Will the canary, who can predict my actions within milliseconds using only a suicide note, succeed this time? !

"watch out!"

But Cheng Rang secretly laughed in his heart at this moment.

Stinky Obasan, ho....This appellation finally helped me rule out the last wrong option.

Izayoi's punch carried an astonishing wind, but Canary in front of him didn't have any intention of avoiding it, as if he knew the result before he made the move.

Boom-crack!

The fist stopped by her ear didn't shake her head in the slightest, and the airflow from the front of the fist made Canary's lapel scrape, and then Izayoi received a blow on her head. palm knife.

"I told you not to call me Stinky Obasan anymore. I'm your adoptive mother, right? Respect? Respect!"

Izayoi seemed to be shocked by these words, his body stiffened.

Seeing his reaction, Cheng Rang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fuck, I really guessed right!

This wave, if it wasn't for the intention, the button to confirm the transmission to the beacon in front of me would almost have to be thought of.

Although there may be other troubles when teleporting to Ren, it is much easier to fool a 13-year-old than the "problem child" in front of him.

What I didn't know during the process was that even if I was teleported to the current Jin, my appearance would not change, and even under the witness of Leticia who was with me, the trouble I caused might be even greater...

Canary, the former consultant of the Little Garden Community "Arcadia", is a "poet" known as the fourth strongest species, and has a four-digit spiritual rank.

Arcadia was the predecessor of NoName before its name was taken away. After being defeated by the unidentified Demon King, Canary was exiled to the different world where Izayoi was.

As Cheng Rang had guessed, Canary was the adoptive mother of Huihui Shizaye, but what made him even more unexpected was—the black rabbit.

She is also Canary's adopted daughter.

This can also explain why Black Usagi, who is a Hakoba nobleman, will spare no effort to stay in the declining NoName and work tirelessly to regroup the community without any complaints.

Chapter 1 The Black Shower of the Demon King’s Arrival

The match ended with Kasukabe Yō calmly declaring his surrender.

Aisha has already left, and being stopped by Jack and unable to pursue her, the only way to win is to break the opponent's gift. The opponent's eyes of fire can even see through the power of the "Life Catalog". However, in this "immortal" Jack-o'-lantern Under the conditions, it seems impossible.

The venue was like waking up from a big dream, and there was silence.At the moment when the game was decided, the surrounding stage shattered like glass and returned to its original state.

It wasn't until Black Rabbit finally announced the name of the winner, Aisha Ignifatus, that the audience who seemed to have recovered their senses erupted into deafening cheers.

Yaodai was standing in the center of the stage where cheers kept coming and going, and the hot curtain of fire surrounding her dissipated along with the stage. At this moment, Jack asked her in a steady tone: "May I ask you something?"

"what?"

"This game allows participants to bring an assistant. Have you never thought of borrowing the power of your companion?"

Yao remained silent and did not answer, just quietly looking up at the sky.

Jack sighed: "Although this may be my meddling...but your eyes are a bit lonely. Since you want to be in a community, you must often encounter situations where you have to rely on others."

"It's not that I have a bad relationship with everyone..."

"A bad relationship and being able to coordinate and cooperate are two different things. So far, haven't you been injured by acting alone?"

Yao was speechless.

Yao, who is not good at communicating with others, is not so much acting alone as she has no chance to show herself, and until now she has nothing to help her companions.

Cheng Rang and Shiliuye solved most of the crises and operations, and he seemed to be just a bystander.

It's okay to "run away from home" together and come here in the North District. She was the first to be caught. She accepted the entrustment of Shiraiyasha to participate in the gift game. She wanted to get the prize and reconcile with Black Rabbit because of the strength of her opponent. Can only admit defeat.

In her heart, she still wants to prove to her companions that she is not a drag.

, but in this case, it was my own negligence for not using the power that I should have borrowed.

Jack, who noticed Yao's look a little lonely, said to her in a gentle and persuasive tone: "Although it is called coordination in general, but these can only be experienced through continuous accumulation of experience. I think you still don't understand when you are young... ..Ah forget it, this really seems to be preaching, pumpkins are naturally nosy! Seeing a child like you with loneliness in his eyes, it's hard not to say a few more words."

Jack chuckled and changed the subject.

Yao looked at Jack who was shaking his pumpkin head in front of him, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

He is really a gentle guy, completely different from when he was fighting.

At this time, Ai Xia, who looked unhappy, leaned over from behind, as if she was not the winner of this victory.

"Hey, you! What's your name, and where did you come from outside?!"

"....I said it at the beginning of the introduction." Yao's expression was pulled down again, and he seemed to be indifferent to her.

However, Aisha still pursued her relentlessly: "Huh~ Really? At least remember my name, you nameless! I come from the outer gate of [-]..."

"Aisha Ignifatus, I already knew this from the previous introduction." Kasukabe Yao said the name in the girl's mouth in advance.

"...Woo! You, you, you... If there is a chance to meet again, I will definitely win next time! Remember it to me!"

Before Yao could react later, Aisha swung her ponytails and turned to leave.

Obviously she also won this time...why do you feel like you have lost by letting go of your harsh words like this?

Yao tilted his head in confusion, and Jack explained with a smile: "That child has never been defeated by anyone of the same age. Although she won the game this time, she shouldn't feel that she won by relying on her own strength, right?" .”

Yao nodded: "But I think this is called a coordinated victory or something."

Jack patted his huge pumpkin head hard, and burst out laughing.

"Yahhohoho, oh, you're right!"

Compared to Yao who was calm on the stage, Asuka in the audience was obviously very worried. She sighed dejectedly, "Kasukabe-san lost."

On the side, Bai Yasha said in an encouraging tone: "This situation is expected. If you are concerned, go and comfort her later. Although this is a simple game board, it is a game worth watching. You guys There's no need to feel embarrassed."

"Will o' wisp is one of the strongest-level communities even among the six-digit outer gates. Jack, the main force, is a ghost with the flames of hell and the undead brand. In the gift game, even if it is specified that the undead race must be killed, it cannot be done , it can only be classified as the contestants’ lack of ability. This time it can only be said that the attributes are incompatible, so just accept the result.”

Sandora and Shiroyasha also looked at Asuka with a comforting smile, just when the atmosphere of the competition was about to usher in the awards ceremony, a sudden change occurred.

"what is that?"

Some uneasy voices came from the audience, and Shiroyasha looked up at the sky—it was a black letter.

Countless black letters fell from the distant sky like rain, spreading all over the stage and auditorium of the original form in a short while.

The black rabbit immediately picked up one of them.

"The contract document that emits black light.... Difficult, could it be...!"

The black letters that also fluttered into the corridor also attracted the attention of Shiliuye and Cheng Rang.

After opening the sealing wax covered with the picture of the Piper Jester, it reads——

[Gift game name: The PIED PIPER of HAMELIN]

——Grimm Gimoire.Hameln seal——

"This is..." Izayoi raised his head in surprise, and looked at Canary who had also finished reading the contract document in his hand.

In the rain of a large number of black letters, the stage venue was silent.

Canary put down the contract document in her hand and said to herself, "That's right~"

In a tone that seems to have nothing to do with him:

"...The 'devil king' you have always wanted to challenge has appeared!"

The next moment, as if to break the dead air, someone in the auditorium yelled.

"The Demon King...the Demon King has appeared!!"

With the arrival of the terrified screams, the other people who should have changed dramatically but didn't react were woken up all of a sudden, and they all exploded in an instant, getting up from their seats and trying to escape from here.

The stage venue where tens of thousands of people gathered shook because of this.

The devil...? !

heard the word from the canary

Hui Izayoi's eyes suddenly ignited with joyful fire, and the blood surging in his chest was instantly ignited.

"I've been waiting for a long time, hey! The most vicious and evil king is coming..."

"Your companions are waiting for you."

Izayoi put on a cynical and flirtatious smile again, and asked Canary behind him, "What about you?"

"I'll keep an eye on you from behind."

No wonder... Cheng Rang secretly added in his heart afterwards.

"Then you have to keep your eyes open!"

The boy turned into a vigorous wind and swept across the corridor, and joined Ren and others at the side door of the stage.

The moment Izayoi's sight broke away from Cheng Rang, he also turned into an afterimage and shot out in the opposite direction.

The appearance changed again, and the white long knife that appeared at the waist also changed color, turning into jet black.

The long hair, which turned from golden to brown, was scattered with the wind, and became a chic embellishment for the figure running towards the light. The cold light of the stars shines dazzlingly on the unsheathed blade.
