Chapter 457 The Fairy Who Passed By

Half an hour later, Aize and Yukina Himeragi left the antique shop together and walked out of Rokujozaka under the strange looks of several passersby.

"Those two actually came out of No. 6 Slope?"

"They must have just come from the hotel, right?"

"That girl is really pretty, but judging from her appearance, she should only be a middle school student, right?"

"How enviable... no, that guy is a real beast!"

Such conversations could be faintly heard, leaving Aize, who had a keen sense of hearing, somewhat speechless.

"Are we going home now, senior?"

Himeragi Yukina, however, did not hear the conversation and said something that would lead to further misunderstandings with a serious expression.

"Okay, let's go back first." Aize nodded, then said, "By the way, Himeko, what are you carrying on your back...?"

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that Himeragi Yukina was carrying a black guitar case on her shoulder that resembled the black instrument case that Kirasaka Sayaka used to store the Six Styles Heavy Armored Demon-Slaying Bow.

From inside the black guitar case, Aize keenly sensed an unusual fluctuation.

It resembled spiritual power, yet it was not quite the same as spiritual power, and it was even more advanced.

Aize felt that this aura was somewhat familiar, and seemed to be similar to the aura emanating from Natsune Yase, who had once transformed into a model angel.

"This?" Yukina Himeragi adjusted the guitar case on her shoulder and said, "This contains the War God Gear that the Lion King Organization granted me."

As she spoke, Yukina Himeragi opened her guitar case and took something out of it.

It was a long spear that was clearly made of very precious metals and was silver in color.

The spear is somewhat different from the various guns that Aize is familiar with. Not only is it folded, but the body also has an inorganic mechanical feel, with a sleek appearance similar to the latest fighter jets, resembling a refined modern weapon.

"Qiang!"

Himeragi Yukina activated it, and the gun immediately emitted a metallic clanging sound. The handle shifted and extended in an instant, and the previously concealed main blade emerged, transforming into the spearhead. Secondary blades also unfolded on both sides of the spearhead, making it look like the variable wings of a fighter jet, exuding a strong sense of modernity and technology.

Aize recognized the origin of the silver spear.

"Type 7 Assault Demon-Slaying Machine Gun..."

The Type 7 Assault Demon-Slaying Machine Gun, officially named Snow Wolf, is a martial artifact developed by the Lion King Organization to combat demons with special abilities.

This martial artifact is far more famous than the Six Styles Heavy Armor Demon-Slaying Bow and the Hundred Styles Heavy Armor Demon-Slaying Blade.

Because its core is the legacy of the Celestials, a divine weapon called the Demon-Slaying Holy Lance, which is said to have the ability to restore the world to its original state. There are only three in the world, and it cannot be mass-produced. It is the secret weapon of the Lion King Organization.

This martial artifact is engraved with a unique technology painstakingly developed by the Lion King Organization—the Divine Vibration Wave Drive Technique.

Once activated, this technique can absorb the holder's spiritual power and convert it into divine energy, thus having the ability to nullify magic and sever all kinds of barriers.

In other words, it is the natural enemy of all demons in the world. It is a more terrifying weapon against demons than the forged holy sword, especially against vampires, and it is even said to be able to kill the true ancestors.

Unfortunately, the Type 7 Assault Demon-Slaying Machine Gun is extremely rare, with only three in the entire world, and the power of its core Demon-Slaying Holy Lance can only be activated by special individuals. Therefore, the Lion King Organization has been cultivating its adaptors all along.

Now, this weapon, which is said to be able to kill even the True Ancestor, has been given to Yukina Himeragi by the Lion King Organization.

Without a doubt, Yukina Himeragi is the perfect candidate for the Type 7 Assault Demon-Slaying Machine Gun that the Lion King Organization has been training.

However, I don't seem to be very clear about this.

“To be honest, I don’t think this gun is suitable for me.” Himeragi Yukina said with a frown on her beautiful brows. “The target I need to monitor is just a human, and the Holy Ring Knights of the Kingdom of Aldegia also have a simulated holy sword that is specifically designed to counter demons. It’s really inappropriate for the Lion King Organization to give me a weapon of war to fight demons.”

“…Perhaps.” Aize was silent for a moment, then said, “Since you think it’s inappropriate, you’d better use this gun less often.”

If Aize remembers correctly, the Type 7 Assault Demon-Slaying Machine Gun is powerful, but it has extremely terrible side effects.

If the user of this martial god artifact continues to use it, converting the spiritual power they release into divine energy, then when the converted divine energy reaches a certain stage, an angelization phenomenon similar to the creation of an angel will occur, allowing the user to ascend to become an angel and disappear from the current world.

Yes, this is a martial artifact that can turn people into angels.

"What exactly is the Lion King Organization doing? Why is it sending Himehime to monitor a former replica angel with a weapon that can transform into an angel?"

Aize frowned imperceptibly.

In the original work, Yukina Himeragi obtained the Type 7 Assault Demon-Slaying Machine Gun because her target of surveillance was the world's strongest vampire, a genuine True Ancestor. There was no more suitable martial god tool for Yukina Himeragi to use than the Type 7 Assault Demon-Slaying Machine Gun.

But now, Yukina Himeragi's targets are no longer demons, vampires, or true ancestors, so why does the Lion King Organization still make her use the Type 7 Assault Demon-Slaying Machine Gun?
Is it because Yukina Himeragi was originally the right person for this gun, and her existence was specifically conceived to become the master of the Snow Wolf?
Or... is there another reason?
Aize fell into deep thought.

"I know, and I don't want to use precious martial god artifacts so easily."

Himeragi Yukina had no idea what Aize was thinking, and simply took it as an instruction from her senior.

"That's good." Aize stopped thinking about such complicated things and said, "Speaking of which, does that perverted woman, Kirasaka, know about your trip to Itogami Island?"

"Sayaka?" Himeragi Yukina said with a mix of nostalgia and helplessness, "No, I didn't tell Sayaka about this. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't."

This earnest girl seems to be the same as before. Due to her long-term boarding school life, she lacks some common sense, to the point that she doesn't even seem to have a cell phone.

Therefore, she never contacted Sayaka Kirasaka at all.

"I heard that Sayaka is also on this island, in charge of monitoring and protecting Lord Ordiaru?" Himeragi Yukina clearly missed her older sister, Kirasaka Sayaka, and couldn't help but ask, "Have you met Sayaka yet, Senpai?"

"We've done more than just meet," Aize said irritably. "We've fought several times already. That woman practically aimed her Six-Type Heavy Armor Demon-Slaying Bow at my head. Right now, she probably wishes she could blow my head off and make me disappear from the face of the earth."

Upon hearing this, Himeragi Yukina couldn't help but recall her time studying at Takagami no Mori. Her delicate face showed both a smile and a hint of helplessness.

"Senior and Sayaka are still the same as before; they always end up arguing whenever they meet."

Himeragi Yukina's words were met with Aizawa's accusations.

"It's not that I want to argue with her, it's that she keeps actively causing trouble for me."

This is not an attempt to shirk responsibility, but simply a statement of fact.

If it weren't for that woman with androphobia constantly provoking him, Aize wouldn't have treated her that way.

Himeragi Yukina naturally knew what was going on between the two, and her expression became even more helpless.

"As expected, Sayaka is still the same as before."

Even though Sayaka Kirasaka was Himeragi Yukina's senior and roommate, she had to admit that it was always Sayaka Kirasaka who was picking a fight, and Aize had always chosen not to argue with her. Every time, Aize would only retaliate, which was already quite tolerant of Sayaka Kirasaka.

Himeragi Yukina had privately advised Kirasaka Sayaka many times not to provoke Aizawa whenever she saw him. However, Himeragi Yukina did not know that the main reason why Kirasaka Sayaka was so hostile to Aizawa, besides her misogyny, was that her beloved Yukina always spoke up for Aizawa and even hung out with him, sometimes chatting happily and appearing very intimate.

That's why Saya Kirasaka has always targeted Aize, because Aize is her love rival!
The title "Yuri Girl" is not just a casual remark.

"I hope Sayaka didn't do anything to my senior?"

Himeragi Yukina became somewhat worried.

She knew that even without having studied sorcery and magic, Aize was quite powerful. However, Sayaka Kirasaka was ultimately a dancer, extremely skilled in assassination and curses. If Sayaka Kirasaka wanted to attack Aize, Aize would be in big trouble.

"Do I look like I've been cursed?" Aize curled his lip and said, "I'm not afraid of that wicked woman's curse now."

After Aize said that, Himeragi Yukina realized that her senior was completely different from before.

He is no longer just an apprentice demon official who doesn't know any spells or magic, but a monster king who can easily defeat even the Duke of Ordiaru, who is said to be the closest to the true ancestor, and who can control multiple creatures from the mythological era and possess power that rivals or even surpasses that of the true ancestor.

"Senior..."

Before she could react, Yukina Himeragi had already unconsciously reached out and grabbed Aizawa's clothes.

She was somewhat afraid that her senior classmate might change.

For Yukina Himeragi, Aizawa was also a rather special person.

In Takagami no Duri, everyone else was afraid to approach her because of her tense and aloof demeanor. Even Kirasaka Sayaka couldn't see through her usual overly tense state. Only Aize saw through her during the first simulated battle and gave her advice and comfort.

Under such circumstances, Yukina Himeragi had long been used to appearing relaxed in front of Aize, and only when she was with Aize would she not be so nervous and tense.

Now that Azer has become the renowned Warcraft King, will he still be the same as before, someone she can rely on and relax with?

Himeragi Yukina felt uneasy about this.

"what happened?"

Aize, however, had no doubts and turned around to look at him with a puzzled expression.

His behavior, which was no different from usual, eased the unease in Yukina Himeragi's heart slightly.

"No, it's nothing." Himeragi Yukina took a deep breath, smiled, and said, "Let's go home, senpai."

That radiant smile, so unlike Himeragi Yukina's usual tense and serious demeanor, caught Aize's eye.

"Well, go back."

After admiring his junior's stunning beauty for a while, Aize took Himeragi Yukina's hand and started walking home.

By this time, the pre-festival celebrations had basically begun.

Above Itogami Island, an advertising airship flew by, its side screen displaying announcements for tonight's events, signaling the official start of the festival.

As soon as Aize and Yukina Himeragi stepped into the street, a huge crowd surged towards them, engulfing them.

"Stay close to me, don't get lost."

Aize said something to Himeragi Yukina, then changed from holding hands to holding hands, taking Himeragi Yukina's small, smooth, and fair hand that was still smooth and fair even after a thousand trials.

"Um……"

Himeragi Yukina blushed slightly, but did not resist, letting Aize lead her through the crowd.

Aize had actually been secretly watching this junior, and seeing her obediently being led by him, a smile appeared on his lips.

To be fair, the junior that Kirasaka Sayaka is willing to risk her life to love is indeed very cute. Even though she is still a middle school student, she is still incredibly beautiful, not inferior to Yase Natsune at all.

In terms of appearance, Himeragi Yukina and Akatsuki Nagisa seem somewhat similar, both having black hair and similar facial features. However, compared to the girl-next-door Akatsuki Nagisa, Himeragi Yukina is more like a princess, refined, aloof, and dignified, with her charm only increasing.

Aize could already imagine the chaos that would ensue if Himeragi Yukina transferred to Ayami Academy in order to keep an eye on Yase Natsune.

Once she enrolls, the unattainable beauty of the junior high school will no longer be just Natsune Yase; the school beauty of Ayami Academy will also have another flower.

As Aize was thinking this, he suddenly brushed past a figure in the crowd.

"------"

At that moment, Aize's figure froze in place.

A petite girl, about the same height as Akatsuki Nagisa, passed by, her dazzling blonde hair billowing in the wind.

Aize glimpsed that the girl's skin was fair and translucent, and her face was so delicate yet so dignified that it seemed inhuman. She appeared to be around fourteen or fifteen years old, and her waist-length golden hair reflected the light, giving it an iridescent sheen that made her look like a beautiful fairy.

The other person's eyes seemed to lift up for a moment and glance at Aize.

Flames flickered in those eyes.

"Ha ha……"

With a melodious, bell-like laugh, the fairy-like beautiful girl brushed past Aize and walked into the crowd behind him.

Aize turned his head sharply in that direction, only to find that the girl had vanished without a trace.

"Senior?"

Himeragi Yukina's somewhat surprised and puzzled voice reached Aize's ears, bringing him back to his senses.

"what happened to you?"

Himeragi Yukina asked in confusion.

"……nothing."

Aize shook his head, took Himeragi Yukina's hand, and continued walking forward.

But his mind had already been drawn away by that enchanting girl.
