The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

Ian suppressed his inner emotions and tried to get as much information as possible from Fujiwara Yuuka.

"You brought us here just to execute us—isn't that a bit unnecessary?"

"Execution?"

Fujiwara Yuuka burst into laughter again.

The arrogant cry echoed in the deserted streets, sounding terrifying and horrifying.

"No, I will offer you to Lord Raum—the true ruler of Kyoto!"

[You once again heard Fujiwara Yuuka call you "Laomu."]

【You realize that this name may be the real reason behind this series of events.】

[But what kind of existence is this person—to be able to influence someone of Fujiwara Yuuka's status, to the point of causing her to lie in order to accomplish all this.]

You vaguely sense that this might be inextricably linked to Ugly Gozen's original invitation.

"..."

"What kind of person is that?"

Ian asked tentatively.

He originally thought that Fujiwara Yuuka would be very reluctant to mention these things, but the result was just the opposite.

When the title of Lord Raum was mentioned, Fujiwara Yuuka's reaction was as excited as Seino Hachiro's before.

"She is the one who dominates Kyoto!"

"She is the one who changes everything!"

"She will bring about a mysterious revival, restoring this entire land to its original state!"

"..."

Can't understand.

do not understand at all.

Ian found that he could not understand at all what Fujiwara Yuuka was saying at this moment.

But there was one thing he could be sure of.

That is, Fujiwara Yuuka is in an extremely crazy state at this moment.

Everything that is being done now is to cover up this madness.

"so--"

"Have you been deceiving us all along? Whether it was the initial call or the subsequent hope that we could bring those ronin to Kyoto, it was all just a show, right?"

"Do not."

Fujiwara Yuuka shook her head.

"The things I told you are all true."

"My faith doesn't allow me to lie to you - I'm just hiding some information from you."

"The Fujiwara family has a history that has disappeared."

"However, under Lord Raum's guidance, none of us cares about what is really going on anymore."

"Join us... and sacrifice everything for Lord Raum!"

“You will get the most primitive happiness!”

"..."

Listening to Fujiwara Yuuka's laughter echoing in the air, Ian felt a chill on his back.

He realized that Kyoto might have been polluted long ago, but it was only exposed now.

So--

Won't all the ronin who rush to Kyoto become victims next?

"Okay, I've told you everything I need to say!"

"It's time for you to pay the price for this information!"

"Let's start with you, Hijikata Toshizo!"

Having said this, Fujiwara Yuuka slapped the floor.

She seemed to have merged with Kyoto, so the moment she touched the ground, she changed the direction of the tentacles.

They were originally entangled with Okita Souji and Kondo Isami and began to attack Ian.

That is much faster than before.

It only takes a few seconds for them to penetrate a man's body directly.

What's worse is that because of the previous battle with Yamanami Keisuke, Ian's arm injury has never healed and is even tending to get worse.

So even if we want to resist now, it will be very difficult to do.

Everything seemed to be a pre-arranged fate, sweeping towards the man like a tide.

But at this moment——

A blue flame surged on the ground of Kyoto at this moment.

Then, it rushed in front of Ian at lightning speed.

"No one can hurt my Sui-san!"

"Not even the General!"

"..."

【The one rushing in front of you is none other than Okita Souji. 】

【only--】

[What's different from the Okita Souji we usually see is that at this moment, her entire body is surrounded by azure flames.]

[If she is an ordinary Okita Souji on weekdays, then at this moment, she is the blazing Okita Souji! ]

[That seems to be the intention to protect you! ]

Swish--

As Okita Souji waved Kaga Kiyomitsu, the tentacles that attacked Ian broke into several pieces in an instant and fell to the ground.

"Impossible! I will never let you hurt Sui San!"

Okita Souji gripped his sword tightly with both hands, showing an extremely strong will.

At this moment, she seemed to be burning all over, trying to protect the people behind her.

"Okita..."

Kondo Isami looked at the burning Okita Souji and wanted to say something.

But as if it didn't intend to let her speak, the tentacle that had originally left came back at this moment.

"hateful--!"

Kondo Isami could only throw himself into the battle once again.

the other side.

"..."

Looking at the broken tentacles, Fujiwara Yuuka's reaction was not that intense.

She clenched her fists silently.

Soon, the broken tentacles, as if sensing the call, grew out from the ground beside her again.

However, Fujiwara Yuuka's tone was no longer as arrogant as before, but was replaced by a serious tone.

"Okita Souji, who the hell are you?!"

"I was able to break these mysteries bestowed upon me by Lord Raum!"

"..."

"I'm Okita Souji." The girl gripped the sword a little tighter, and bits of flame emerged from the sword, looking like a escaping meteor.

"Hijikata Toshizo's lover!"

"Die, you liar!"

Okita Souji roared like this, showing a completely different momentum from before.

"Are you trying to challenge me and Lord Raum?!"

"very good--"

"Sacrifices like this are meaningful!"

Fujiwara Yuuka's movements became much bigger.

More tentacles emerged from the ground and attacked the girl like vines.

"Okita!" Ian shouted.

"I'll definitely be fine!"

Souji Okita answered his lover directly without any hesitation.

"Because—I want to protect you and Xiaoyong!"

Kaga Kiyomitsu was completely burning at this moment, as if he was surrounded by flames.

The originally snow-white sword body suddenly changed into another color at the moment of the sprint, and it looked like it had been tempered!

In an instant.

Souji Okita's figure almost completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

Even Fujiwara Yuuka herself couldn't tell where she had gone.

By the time I reacted——

Okita Souji was already approaching her.

"That's it."

"what?!"

Fujiwara Yuuka never expected that an ordinary girl could burst out with such terrifying speed at such a moment.

What's even worse is that she could feel that the other person was constantly emitting something called "mystery".

"You must be kidding—this is something we've been worshipping for so long!"

Fujiwara Yuuka roared like this, and then organized a large number of tentacles, forming a wall-like defense in front of herself.

Just looking at it makes people feel the presence of despair.

however--

To Souji Okita, such defense seemed to not exist at all.

Her eyes turned blood red, as if she had just come back from hell.

"Zekken Mukyuu Sandan!"

There was a flash of golden light.

The upper part of the tentacle was severed.

But this is just the beginning—

As this seemingly completely unbreakable defense was torn open by Okita Souji's Zekken Mukyuu Sandan, an even more violent collapse followed.

One——

Two——

Three
