I'm raising a fox fairy wife in Tokyo

The immense impact shattered the window in front of her and pinned Nanami straight to the roof of the school building in the distance.

No bleeding.

The demon sword stuck in Nanami's forehead was only oozing a thick, black liquid, which was condensing and forming a writhing, half-human, half-snake shadow.

"Ming."

The golden ball of lightning suddenly exploded, containing the profound energy that Gao Chuanlong had previously "stored" on it.

It blasted Nanami's upper body, along with the roof, to pieces.

A dark current faintly stretched between the demon sword and the boy's right hand, and then, in just an instant, Shijou Maki, who was being held in his arms, noticed it.

He and Gao Chuanlong had already moved from the top of the clock tower to the roof of the school building on the other side.

It also……

That's too fast!

That's how fast! The Demon Blade, isn't it amazing?!

This is a new and wonderful use that Gao Chuanlong discovered in the last few days—the Xuan power can be transferred from the body to the demon sword and stored thereafter. Even if it is not held in his hand, it can still be used within a certain range.

While still being able to sense its presence, one can also activate their abilities.

as well as.

There is still a connection between one's own profound energy and the demonic sword.

The capability that can be achieved in this way is—

Using the "ring" of lightning, he moves at supersonic speed through the medium of [Hollow Cloud], and tears apart anything that stands in his way.

The roof of the school building has been blown open with a large hole.

But it doesn't matter, they can all be repaired anyway.

What's troubling is...

Nanami, whose upper body was almost blown to pieces, was having the viscous black liquid that had been splashed out gathered back together, as if she were about to recover.

This is never going to end; we need to find this guy's coffin.

At the same time.

The distant clock tower had been swallowed up by countless half-human, half-snake shadows, piled up together like a wildly twisting tsunami, or a zombie horde reminiscent of World War Z.

Silently, she leaned towards herself and Shijou Maki.

Oh no, run.

In the blink of an eye, they entered the school building, cutting down all the writhing shadows blocking their way. Judging from the feel, these guys didn't have any "flesh" but were something like mud.

It is thin, sticky, and thick all at once.

Even though he probably wouldn't cause any harm, Takakawa Ryu still didn't want to be overwhelmed by such things.

You'll have nightmares.

"Nana Mi's coffin is at the school."

That's beyond doubt; the important question is, where exactly is it?

"Staff room!"

Shijou Maki has provided the answer!

As a super genius and beautiful girl, she didn't stay idle after leaving the infirmary. Instead, she contacted Hayasaka and the maids at home through her mobile phone, constantly receiving new information.

Regardless of what Meryl says about Nanami's story, we need to verify it.

And just now.

After all the information was gathered and analyzed by Shijou Maki—

The mystery has been solved!

“Merry wasn’t lying. Nanami was most likely killed by Mr. Tamura. If that’s the case, the coffin is probably in his desk…”

Chapter 52 This is too wicked!

Kenji Tamura's desk is located at the end of the fifth-floor corridor on one side of the school building.

"Bang!"

Gao Chuanlong kicked the locked staff room door open.

Subsequently.

He put down Shijou Maki, whom he had been holding in his arms with one hand.

"Go find the coffin."

"understand!"

The girl ran quickly into the office, while Gao Chuanlong, holding the demon sword [Kuyun], looked back at the countless twisting black shadows rushing towards the end of the corridor.

as well as.

Nanami is located in it.

The tall woman, like some kind of reptile, was deeply submerged in the dark, viscous tide, her dark mouth opening wide.

"knock!!!"

The sticky black liquid gushed out, as if countless dark figures were crawling out from inside.

And to this.

Takagawa Ryu silently sheathed his sword, and then...

Breath of the Sun.

"Land Form - Scorching Sun".

The enchanted slash caused the blade to unleash a vortex as it swung, like a scorching sun, engulfing everything in its path.

A vast expanse of golden fire spread out from the pitch-black humanoid figure.

It was as if the ocean had been boiled, making its already twisting movements even more frantic and violent.

Before the scorching enchantment on the blade faded, Gao Cheng sheathed his sword again. Next—

Breath of the Moon.

"Type One: Dark Moon: Palace of the Night".

The incredibly fast sword draw slash flashed past in the night, leaving a chilling glint in the air, followed by countless cold, moon-shaped blades.

As it cuts, countless tiny sparks adhere to it, like a large cluster of fireflies dancing in the night.

Countless tiny crescent blades silently sliced ​​the viscous black shadow into fragments and ignited it.

The momentum that had brought the dark figures in like a tidal wave came to a halt.

The effect is good.

Moon Breathing seems to focus on AOE, and it can indeed be used in conjunction with Sun Breathing, so let's continue!

"Type II: Pearl and Moon".

"Type Three - Aversion Moon - Erosion".

Whether unleashing a gust of wind or executing a series of slashes, it is accompanied by countless tiny crescent blades.

Takagawa Ryu used all the sword techniques of Moon Breathing that he had just learned.

I think this thing is incredibly useful.

And at the same time...

……

Using the light from her phone, Shijo Maki quickly found the desk with the nameplate of Kenji Tamura on it.

Subsequently.

He quickly scanned the desktop and then opened all the drawers.

"found it!"

Inside the drawer was a girl's leather shoe.

what.

These are the shoes that were hidden away when Nanami was first bullied.

A cold feeling suddenly welled up from within.

As if realizing something, Shijo Maki was quickly plunged into deep darkness.

Then she saw—

"Really? That guy had an abortion? Toothless, no way, why would the school accept someone like that? So disgusting..."

Whose child is it?

"Who knows."

"Those guys from outside are really shameless and indecent."

Countless whispers entered my ears like mosquitoes.

【fake. 】

Shijo Maki heard a completely unfamiliar girl's voice emanating from the depths of her own heart.

This is... Nanami's voice.

It's fake, a lie, a hoax, I didn't do it!

【No!!】

……

"Well, it's just idle gossip. There's no need to take it to heart. Everyone experiences these kinds of things in life. When you encounter similar situations, just do your best."

A kind and ordinary middle-aged man's face appeared.

"Even a prime minister won't be recognized by everyone, so just be with those who approve of you. Good luck! Besides, no matter what, schools prioritize grades above all else."

"As long as you perform to your full potential, there will always be people who admire you!"

The heartwarming words dispelled the malicious rumors that had just surfaced.

Subsequently.

Images flashed by like a revolving lantern.

She joined the Paranormal Research Club, joined the student council, and made many friends—including Merry? Was she really not lying?

She also found someone she likes.

I achieved excellent results in the exam, received praise from my teachers and recognition from my classmates, and studied hard every night for the national mock exam.

Until.

The night before the national mock exam, I fell asleep filled with hope and anticipation for the future.

"knock."

It sounded like knocking on the door.

It also sounded like some kind of dull, indescribable sound.

Shijo Maki opened her eyes and saw that she was surrounded by darkness. The heavy, sluggish feeling made her subconsciously want to do something.

Then he realized that he was underwater.

ha?

I was just sleeping, how did I suddenly wake up underwater?!

and also……

Through the distant water, the girl could see a figure standing there quietly.
