The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

As the more divine side of Shuten-douji and the incarnation of Yamata-no-Orochi, Ibuki-douji responds to the call of his other self almost instantly.

"Oh my god—there really is a second chance."

"Well then...rest well and let me do something."

"Hey, okay."

A purple-black light shone on the ground of the singularity, followed by an earthquake.

Countless rocks slid down the cliffs and landed on the ground one after another.

Many cracks spread out in all directions like spider webs from where the light was shining.

When everything calmed down, an extremely huge snake appeared in front of the man.

but--

Neither Ibaraki Douji nor Ian felt any fear about this.

After all, both she and he knew that this was just a more powerful side of Shuten-doji.

"long time no see."

Ibuki Douji, who reappeared, greeted Ian as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years.

"did you miss me?"

"..."

"You're such a joke." Ian looked at the big snake in front of him and responded with a smile.

"But this time, I really am counting on you."

"Well... come on."

Ibuki Douji, who had transformed into a giant snake, began to move his body.

Following a loud noise, she actually put on a posture that seemed to submissively invite the man to get on her back.

"I've understood what's going on from my other self."

"Time is tight, isn't it?"

"You have a really good personality." Ian commented on Ibuki Douji's ability to prioritize, and then jumped onto her back.

"As expected, I made the right choice by letting Shuten hand you over."

"Of course—after all, they are all incarnations of the Yamata no Orochi."

Ibuki Douji's tone was full of pride, and it could be heard that she was quite satisfied with her identity.

Then, the giant snake turned around and looked at Ibaraki Douji who was still on the ground.

"I said--"

"Although she's not the one you know, should we still be considered friends?"

"Still not coming up?"

"..."

Ibaraki Douji looked at Ian who was already sitting on the snake's head, his expression looking a little hesitant.

Obviously, she was still somewhat unfamiliar with this giant snake transformed by her friend Shuten-doji.

"It's fine."

Ian extended his hand towards Ibaraki Douji.

"Although she is different from Shuten, she does consider you a friend."

"Ibaraki, come on—let's end this."

"understood."

Ibaraki Douji nodded.

"Since Lord Abe says so, I will believe it."

Slap it.

Ibaraki Douji leaped up and pounced towards Ian, finally landing steadily in his arms.

"They really listen to you—it was like that before, and it's still like that now."

"After all, these two little devils trust me very much."

"But Ibuki—"

The man looked at the dusty road in front of him.

"Now is not the time to discuss this."

"I know."

The giant snake's head looked into the distance.

"So where should I go? I don't know where that so-called hospital is."

"..."

Ian did not answer Ibuki's question immediately, but looked down at Ibaraki Douji in his arms, and then asked.

"Ibaraki——"

"Can you sense the 'breath'?"

"Just like when you scared people in Heian-kyō before."

"..."

Ibaraki Douji looked up at the great Onmyoji he admired, and nodded.

"it should be OK."

"Okay, then please head to where the smell of blood is strongest—and show Ibuki the way."

"understood."

The man didn't make the request casually.

Nightingale wouldn't go anywhere randomly—as a Ruler, she always thought about saving people.

This is why the hospital was mentioned earlier.

And if it involves a hospital...

The scene when he first arrived at this singularity quickly emerged in Ian's mind.

It was an abandoned and dilapidated hospital.

It is full of patients that Nightingale took in during this special war period.

After all, the magic power unleashed by the mythological war is not something that ordinary people can withstand - this hospital is the last refuge for those "victims"!

Such publicity will happen spontaneously.

More and more people who were injured in this war will gather together!

and so……

As long as you can find the place where the smell of hurt is the strongest, you will definitely find Nightingale!

Ibaraki Douji, just can do all of this!

that's the truth.

After the earth trembled for a long time due to the giant snake's movement, a huge hospital appeared in front of the man.

thump—

Ibuki-douji paused.

Even if the man didn't say anything, she knew this was the destination.

"Is it here?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded.

"How is it, pretty, isn't it?"

"Indeed." Ibuki Douji responded to the man's boast, "I can see that it was you who did it."

The giant snake's nose moved.

"It smells like you."

"Your statement is a bit scary."

The man jumped off the giant snake's head and landed steadily on the ground.

"So--"

"Please both of you wait here for me."

"..."

Ibuki Douji, who had transformed into a giant snake, nodded slightly and looked at the man on the ground.

"I understand if you don't take me."

"That good boy named Ibaraki, you won't take him with you either?"

"..."

The man didn't respond for a moment.

When Ibaraki Douji, who was sitting on the giant snake's head, heard this, he clenched his little hands into fists.

You can tell that she really cares.

However, after just a moment, her hands stretched out again.

"It's fine."

"I absolutely believe in Mr. Abe. He must have a deep reason for doing this."

"..."

"LOL, really?"

The giant snakes coiled together.

"Since the person involved has said so—then I'll take a good rest."

"Shuten, this guy has ruined his health."

"Well, have a good rest."

After temporarily arranging their stay outside the hospital, Ian returned alone to the hospital he had been away from for a long time.

As the person who "saved" the hospital (meaning helping to repair it after it was originally dilapidated), he was naturally welcomed by the injured inside.

"Mr. Ian, you're back too!"

"Sure enough, wherever Miss Nightingale is, there is Mr. Ian!"

With just these two sentences, Ian became more convinced that his judgment was correct - Nightingale had indeed returned here.

"Sorry, I'll talk about this later."

"Nightingale, where is she?"

"there!"

Someone was kind enough to point Ian in a direction.

Looking in the direction of his hand, the man indeed saw Nightingale's figure - at this moment, she was holding a lot of things and looked like she was about to do something.

only……

The moment he saw Ian, the angel in white showed a panic expression.

The thing she was holding fell from her arms.

Then, she escaped.

"..."
