）

"Fireball!"

Lightning Bolt!

"Flaming explosion!"

"What? So once it's burned to ashes, it can't be restored?"

"Now let's try out my newly developed magic! Exorcising Arrow!"

She controlled a pitch-black void in front of her. The void did not connect to any other dimension, but was simply Elena's magic pocket.

Then, an ice arrow, almost identical to a normal arrow, shot out with lightning speed under the guidance of magic and the control of acceleration magic. After hitting one of the bound ghosts, it immediately exploded. The sunlight that had been sealed in the ice arrow by the 'Convergence' magic burst forth instantly, turning the surrounding area of ​​dozens of meters into daylight.

The two bound ghosts had no ability to resist at all, and under the direct sunlight, they turned to ashes in an instant.

"Great! It's a success!"

Elena turned around excitedly, looked at Shinobu Kocho and Kanae who were both shocked, and couldn't help but smile smugly.

Constriction magic is a type of sealing magic, but unlike ordinary sealing magic, constriction magic can only seal intangible things such as sound, light, and energy.

Of course, it can also be used to seal spirits.

So after learning that demons are most afraid of sunlight, she tried, at Kitagawa Yu's suggestion, to seal a large amount of sunlight in the ice arrows she had made in advance, so that she could launch them directly during battle and create a large amount of sunlight at night.

The magic isn't difficult, but it's unknown whether the sealed sunlight will still have the same lethal effect on ghosts as normal sunlight.

Of course, judging from the performance just now, the effect was quite good.

But she couldn't laugh for a moment.

"That's amazing! Yu, your method really works!"

"In this way, as long as we have a large number of weapons that can emit sunlight at night, we can reduce a lot of unnecessary casualties when dealing with demons!"

"Thank you, Yu!"

"."

Seeing Shinobu Kocho, who had just come to her senses, excitedly and admiringly grab Kitagawa Yu's arm and press herself against him, even the usually composed and elegant Kanae showed a hint of excitement and adoration in her eyes when she looked at Kitagawa Yu.

Irena's smile froze instantly, and the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

what the hell!

While it's true that the idea came from Kitagawa Yu, she was the one who actually created the exorcising arrow!

Especially that Shinobu Kocho! Why are you standing so close?!

You're only fourteen!

You have no figure, you have no looks, can't you be a little more reserved?

"Puff-"

Just then, Chizuka's unkind laughter rang out from the side, instantly making Elena furious and causing her to clench her fists in anger.

As a result, the ghosts in the trial grounds along the way suffered.

An angry Elena stopped playing and rode her broomstick into the sky, firing a demon-repelling arrow at any ghost that peeked out.

The next second, a bright white light will suddenly illuminate the once dark forest, brighter than the moon in the sky.

The ghost, bathed in sunlight, was completely powerless to resist and instantly turned to ashes. Even the surrounding air, which reeked of decay and stench, seemed to be purified and became much fresher.

However, this still cannot stop the ghosts' desire for the flesh and blood of the living.

Especially for these ghosts imprisoned in the Trial Grounds, who could only smell the scent of humans once a year, the scent of living people directly destroyed their rationality, causing them to rush towards Kitagawa Yu and the others regardless of everything.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The ground seemed to be trembling slightly in a rhythmic manner.

"what sound?"

Kanae, whose strength is second only to Kitagawa Yu, was the first to notice something was wrong. She frowned slightly and turned her head sharply to look into the depths of the woods on one side.

“It should be that hand demon,” Kitagawa Yu said with a shrug.

At the same time, Elena, who was flying in the sky, also saw the hand ghost, because the hand ghost was really too big.

Although size and strength are not necessarily proportional.

However, aside from Enmu, the Lower Moon One who can assimilate the Mugen Train into his own body, the Hand Demon is the largest demon to appear in the manga.

Standing over thirteen or fourteen meters tall, its body was covered with arms thicker than those of a normal adult, making it look like a moving mountain of flesh.

The trees along the way all fell to the sides like fragile seedlings under his immense force.

It's really hard not to see this.

Such strength and physique are no less than Spider Dad's. Although his body is not as tough as Spider Dad's, it is still better than Kyogai from the Demon House. His only weakness is speed, but with so many arms, it can be slightly lacking.

Overall, this level of ability certainly exceeds the standards required for a newcomer's assessment.

"hiss--"

"Luckily, we didn't encounter this monster during our initial assessment!"

A moment later, Shinobu Kocho also saw the terrifying appearance of the Hand Demon and felt a chill run down her spine.

Although she hates to admit it, the truth is that if she had encountered this hand ghost during her assessment, she probably would have had no choice but to run away.

Without the poison of the wisteria flower, she, whose strength was already inferior to that of other swordsmen of the same level, was unable to sever the neck of this demon.

Meanwhile, Kitagawa Yu and Elena's expressions also became much more serious.

It wasn't that the Hand Demon's strength posed a threat to them, but rather that through the Hand Demon before them, they could further verify the power of the Exorcising Arrow.

"Humans? Heh heh! Flesh and blood!—"

Upon seeing Kitagawa Yu and his group ahead, the Hand Demon immediately let out a strange cry and increased its speed.

However, due to his size, his running speed was only about the same as that of a normal person. Before he could run more than a few meters, an arrow of demon-repelling magic fell from the sky and hit him precisely in the head.

The next second, the ice arrow exploded on its own, and blinding sunlight burst forth, instantly enveloping its body.

Like the ordinary ghosts that had been exposed to sunlight before, the Hand Ghost was also powerless against the sunlight. Its head and the front of its body, which were exposed to the sunlight, were instantly purified by the sunlight and turned into ashes.

However, due to its enormous size and the brief burst of sunlight from the ice arrow, about half of its body remained unpurified because it had not been exposed to sunlight. It was only slowly decomposing because it had already been killed.

The speed is roughly the same as the decomposition speed of a corpse after being decapitated by a Nichirin Blade.

Upon seeing this, Kitagawa Yu's face broke into a smile again.

Clearly, he was quite satisfied with the results. After all, ice arrows weren't difficult for Elena to make; she could produce hundreds in an hour.

If one arrow isn't enough, use more. At worst, we can learn from modern warfare and unleash a saturation barrage of exorcising arrows to cleanse the area.

At that point, let alone the Twelve Demon Moons, even if all twelve Muzan attacked at once, they would be obediently purified.

"However, Muzan isn't stupid. If he reacts quickly enough, he might hide some of his flesh and blood underground where sunlight can't reach. So, before using the Demon-Slaying Arrow, it's best to imprison him first."

Kitagawa Yu had already unconsciously begun to think about how to apply the Demon-Slaying Arrow to the battle against Muzan.

Especially when thinking about the overwhelming rain of arrows and the space that confines the target, the name 'Unlimited Blade Works' suddenly popped into my head.

However, Elena was still somewhat dissatisfied.

Undoubtedly, if more sunlight could be contained and its release method changed from bursts to continuous release, the power of the Demon-Slaying Arrow would be greatly enhanced.

"But how should we improve it? Should we start with the convergence magic itself and adjust its dispelling speed?"

Elena's mind quickly filled with many ingenious ideas, and she couldn't wait to return to her residence to try and improve them.

only.

She quickly dismissed any notion of improved magic.

Not wanting to spend two hours flying back to the Butterfly Mansion on the overloaded magic carpet, the group, at Kanae's suggestion, went to a house with wisteria patterns not far from the foot of the mountain.

And perhaps because it's close to Kusatsu-cho, this house with wisteria patterns actually has a hot spring!

And it's the kind where men and women can bathe together!

"Really?! It's really mixed bathing?!" Elena couldn't help but stare wide-eyed, her ahoge (cowlick) on her head tensing up with nervousness.

"Of course it's true~ Don't you see it all the time in those anime and movies?" Chizuka said while rinsing the foam off her body with the rain, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

Because she was looking down, Elena didn't notice.

"But... then why are the entrances separated by gender?"

"That's just for convenience when changing clothes. Don't believe me? Look, there's only one pool inside, isn't there?"

After hesitating for a moment, Elena, still clutching the towel to her chest, walked to the entrance and furtively lifted the curtain a narrow gap.

Looking out through the crack, it was indeed just as Chizuka had said, there was only one hot spring pool, and the area was not very large, only a dozen square meters.

Through the rising steam above the pool, she could even see Kitagawa Yu already soaking in the water, right in front of the entrance to the women's changing room.

"That pervert."

Elena muttered something under her breath, her cheeks flushing involuntarily.

But this is a mixed-gender bathing area!

Even if the local customs are correct, she still feels a little uncomfortable!

"What, are you scared? I'll go in by myself then~"

"Who says I'm afraid! I'm the mighty Gray Witch! I'm not afraid at all!"

At that moment, Elena was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, so excited she almost jumped up.

"It's just soaking in a hot spring together, what's the big deal!"

Actually, if it were just that she was scared, she wouldn't have reacted so much. But the thought that if she backed down, Chizuka could soak in the hot spring alone with Kitagawa Yu was unacceptable!

With a determined look, Elena abruptly threw back the curtain, clutching the towel to her chest like a prisoner heading to the execution ground, and walked towards the hot spring pool.
