The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"Why... do you want to hold a fireworks festival so much?"

"I really do not know."

"..."

When asked about the core question, Okita Souji was silent for a moment, then replied:

"Maybe it's because you can make a wish?"

"Make a wish?"

"Yes." Okita Souji nodded, "Satoshi, haven't you heard that - 'If you can make a wish at the moment when the fireworks go up, the gods will hear it!'"

"Ah? Is there such a thing?"

Ian scratched his head.

"You clearly don't believe in ghosts and gods, but you believe in gods?"

"Hmm...but it doesn't seem like a bad thing!"

As Ian said this, he opened the two boxes on the ground and took out the fireworks one after another.

"So--"

"In order to give Okita this opportunity, we must lay out the plan now!"

"Sai San, you..."

There was a hint of brightness in Okita Souji's eyes.

"I understand!"

"I'm here to help too!"

[I don't know if it's a coincidence or intentional——]

You discovered that the fireworks that old woman prepared for you were actually quite suitable.

Not only did you not encounter any difficulty when assembling them, but it was as if you were divinely assisted, and no matter how you put them together, you could always achieve a perfect result.

Soon, you will have everything ready.

[You were so excited that you didn't notice anything strange about this.]

"Wow--"

Souji Okita looked at the fireworks tower in front of him and couldn't believe his eyes.

"We... can actually create something like this?"

"Hehe~"

Ian climbed down from it.

"This shows that our hands-on ability is still very strong!"

"No." Okita Souji shook his head, "It's mainly because you're so brave, Toshizo—"

The little girl looked at the tall fireworks tower.

"How dare you climb up to that kind of place..."

"What's this?"

Ian asked, confused.

"Weren't the trees we climbed before much taller than this?"

"It's different!" Okita Souji continued.

"What's the difference?"

"I can't explain it clearly..."

"That means there is nothing!" Ian took out a box of matches from his clothes. It was something he had prepared for this moment.

"Never mind that—"

"Okita! Your chance to make a wish is coming soon! You need to think carefully about what you want to wish for!"

"I've thought about it a long time ago..." Okita Souji muttered softly.

"what?"

"No!" Okita Souji said with a blush on his face, "Stop talking about this—hurry up, it's already night!"

"That's right."

With a snap.

There was a small glowing match in Ian's hand.

The flames flickered in the night wind, and in the blink of an eye they flowed in the direction Leng had left.

Souji Okita closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and began to pray.

"If there is a god—"

"You must hear my prayers."

"Please let Saisan and I stay together like this forever..."

"please!"

A hissing sound.

Fireworks flew into the sky and bloomed into brilliant flowers.

The girl's wish also blossomed like a flower at this moment.

But a gust of black wind blew over at this time.

In an instant, the beauty of the fireworks was shrouded in an evil black aura.

Many evil figures appeared on the hillside.

"came back--"

"The era of a hundred demons has returned!"

839. Okita Souji's Moment of Life and Death/Goblin in Fireworks (4k)

[A sudden sound enveloped the entire "fireworks festival" scene.]

That is a sound you have never heard before.

[But both you and Okita Souji have realized one thing at this moment.]

【That means something big might happen.】

"..."

"..."

Almost the moment he spoke, Ian protected Okita Souji behind him.

Okita Souji felt a surge of warmth in his heart, but it quickly turned into serious doubt.

"Sai San, did you hear that too?"

"The voice coming from the black air—"

"Yeah." Ian nodded, indicating that he fully agreed with what Souji Okita said.

"heard it."

“And it sounds a little familiar.”

"just like……"

"That old woman who gave the fireworks! / Kind old woman!"

Then the two of them once again reached a near consensus, and Ian and Souji Okita fell into silence.

Even the children fully understood that they were in a "trap".

that's the truth.

Before the two could further verify this conjecture, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness on the hillside.

That's right.

That was exactly the old lady they saw in Aoba Castle today, the one who gave the two children countless fireworks without accepting a penny.

only……

Compared to her at that time, the old woman now is obviously a lot "younger", and it can even be said that she is like two completely different people.

"You guys really keep your promises!"

She said this with a big laugh.

"That's right!"

"How can there be no fireworks in Aoba Castle at a time like this? How can I get back here if that's the case?"

A hissing sound.

The fireworks tower shot another brilliant burst of color into the sky, dyeing the dark night the well-known red.

"What a beautiful sound..."

The old woman's face began to distort.

"Ah, if I died in such an environment, I wouldn't have any regrets, right?"

"Don't you agree, kids?"

"Hahahahaha-"

"Just dedicate your lives to me, Yanluo. That would be a very happy thing~"

"..."

"..."

Even without further explanation, you already understand that the name "Yanluo" is the name of the old woman in front of you.

【No. 】

[Calling it a "name" or something like that might not be enough.]

[A more accurate way of saying it would be her given name.]

【Yes. 】

[Just as the man named Kondo Shusuke said—this is one of the Hundred Demons.]

[The specific legend is unknown, but it is definitely related to fireworks.]

"Damn-!"

Ian clenched his fists.

He gritted his teeth in hatred that his good friend Souji Okita's wish was exploited by the bad guy in front of him and turned into a terrible "resurrection ceremony".

To know……

She was looking forward to it so much!

"Calm down, Toshizo." Okita Souji's voice brought Ian back to reality.

"We... probably can't handle this guy."

There was another whoosh sound.

The fireworks tower shot another fireworks arrow into the sky.

This time, it dyed the sky an unprecedented blue.

"We have to run! / We have to go back!"

Although what they said were slightly different, the two little guys reached a surprising consensus at this time.

That is the best of the Thirty-Six Strategies - run!
