"Mizgard!　Can you hear me?!

"...?　Kneesbeck?　Needsbeck?

"Mizgard!　Get away from there!　Apparently, there's a good chance you've cracked your place!

Are you expecting someone?　That little girl?　A girl?　I'm so happy, I'm so happy, it's coming from over there. Do I hug you?　Baboon........

(Tsk!　(You clunker.......too much enhancement.......)

'No it's not, Mizgard it's a man coming there. A rank D inferior ability from the agency is on its way to torment you.

...a man?

Well that's the man.

Oh, I hate men!　I hate you!　It's hard and tasteless!　Mizgard, I'm going to kill him!

"Leave them alone!　You'll change places from there in a heartbeat!　That's all you need to know!　Mizgard, or those little girls won't do it to you!

...uh ... uh ...

Got it?　Mizgard. If you want the little girl, move out of there now.

"Mizgard, I want my little girl! All right I'm moving on~

Come on, they could be there by now.

　So when the telekinesis breaks off, Neesbeck mutters as if to spit.

''Tch, scum........ It's time for this Mizgard to be replaced........ But the next replacement isn't finished yet. We cannot lose this scrap yet. But the abomination is the agency's gifted one!　That rank D boy........what did you say......?

　Initially, Neesbeck did not have an eye for this low rank D competitor who came as a reinforcement.
　But now, they felt that the picture they had in mind was slowly beginning to be derailed by this young, non-high-ranked rank D boy. And even the tactics woven by the Lord, Lokiarum, were being overseen and countermeasures were being developed.

　Mizgard didn't have any noteworthy abilities other than the ability to produce spiritual power and the art of disguise. Therefore, when it came to fighting ability, he was greatly inferior to Kneesbeck. Still, compared to the average person of ability, he was superior, but that was all.
　For that reason, Nizbek weighed Mizgard as a pawn in this tactic's coordination, and didn't hesitate to instruct him to only move on the spot.

(............. I don't care about the little wise boy's lucky punches....... Our true purpose is something else........ (Huh...............This is just a side note to the matter!

　Kneesbeck switched his perspective and let out an ugly smile as he thought about it.
　But actually, Kneesbeck had begun to think in his head that this rank D boy was dangerous. Competent people are excellent at that kind of intuition. But the emotions don't admit it. There was no way he would admit it. There is no way that a little boy of rank D could be dangerous.
　Niesbeck himself did not realize that this strong emotional rejection of Niesbeck caused Niesbeck to switch his perspective....



　This kind of exchange between Kneesbeck and Mizgard was taking place, but the situation was moving faster than that. Yuto and Mizuho's actions were slightly ahead of Kneesbeck and the others.
　Right now, Masato and Mizuho were in the process of grabbing the ability holder...Mizugard, the source of this drifting fog of spiritual power.
　Yuto and the others looked up into the sky where the enemy psychic would be. That enemy is not visible to their eyes, but they have no choice but to believe it now.
　They nodded at the same time as they locked eyes with each other. There was no reason to spend time here. We have come here with a plan to destroy the ability that is the source of this spiritual power fog here.

''Mizuho-san, just to be sure, I think there's a certain amount of discrepancy in the enemy's location!

'Hmm, I know that much. That kind of error is well within the range of my jutsu deployment!

　Saying that, Mizuho jumps out into the grassy field in front of me.

''Haaah!　Let's go!

　He had moved so far in suppressing the spirits that he had accumulated and moved them to this point. With that alone, one could see Ruiho's outstanding ability as a spirit user. The spirits made a tremendous swell as if they had been released, and they began to rotate around Ruiho.

''Atmosphere and flame, dance, dance, dance!　The flame of the south, the great wind of the west, your encounter will be in this land!

　Originally, there was no point in chanting for the spirit user. This is the Shitenji style of chanting. When that Zuiho chanting began, Yuto's astonished expression appeared on his face and he couldn't help but shout at the expression of that Zuiho's ability.

''This!　The simultaneous exercise of multiple strains of spirits on this scale!　Oh, my God!　Even though few people can handle multi-system exercises in the demon world!　I only know of one person who has control on this scale, too!



　Yuto had heard that Mizuho was touted as a genius during the rookie exams, and that she would be the next generation of the prestigious Shitenji family. But he hadn't imagined that it would be to this extent.
　

''The way the spirit user's abilities improved?　Are you nuts?　Yujin is. You measure a spirit user by the strength of the spirit's grip, so you're missing the point of improving their abilities and so on. The weapon of a spirit user is, what is the weapon of a spirit user is how much the spirits love you. You don't want to be strong, you want to know the spirit, you want the spirit to know you, that's what a good spirit user does naturally. When you're my age, the spirits will be jealous of you, and they'll fight over me. Ouch!　Especially the Fire and Wind Spirit, she's a rambunctious little girl........and a hot mess!　You guys, stop!

(In Surle's case, I think he was angry with the spirits because of his bad behavior........ But that's also proof that the spirits loved her........ (So, Mizuho-san........must have been loved quite a bit too.

　Yuto also remembered that the demon world's spirit user, Shurre, had been attacked by enemies and the spirits had protected Shurre on their own.
　Yuto gazed at Mizuho and swore to himself that he was going to do something.

(Yeah, let's make sure he doesn't offend her.......)

　And then Mizuho's jutsu is composed.
　For a moment, Mizuho felt an unpleasant air from the direction of Yuto, but that was for later.

''Fuu. Go, spirits, go and relieve me of my previous gloom!

　Immediately, a powerful updraft winds up in the sky at the end of the day from the center of Mizuho.
　Yuto also follows the updraft with his eyes as if the bottom of the cone is spreading out into the sky. Whether the enemy is there or not is still only a guess. Yuto stares up at the sky as if he is praying.
　Then.........the impossible happens in the sky directly above Mizuho. A crack appeared in the blue sky, which should have been nothing at all. It was as if a part of the sky made a popping sound, as if a mirror was breaking.

''Ah, that's it!　Mizuho!　I've got enemies!　Okay!　Where it fell!

　When Yuto saw the enemy, he jumped out from behind the tree. Then, Yuto pulls his beloved blade, the Electrohaku sword, from its sheath and releases it.
　A shadow with the shape of a person who is clearly an enemy appears around 100 meters above Mizuho, right above him.

(I won't miss it!)

　Yuto erupted in a gush of Senki. He had planned to add a single sword to the enemy's fall from Mizuho's attack. However, Mizuho spilled out a voice that made Yuto cringe too.

''Hmmm........Yuto. My jutsu hasn't been activated yet, okay?

'What?　Isn't it going off now...?

　When Yuto looked back at Mizuho in surprise his shoulders jumped up on their own.
　Because, the accumulated power of the fire spirit that Mizuho unleashed next was condensed and further compressed and gathered in Mizuho's right hand. Although Yuto didn't know the details of the spirit art, he could tell that Mizuho's was very bad(...).

''Yuto, you should back off. We've had enough of this place, go to Marion's place!

'But, but!　Still, the enemy...

Woo!

　
　The raging updraft blowing out of Mizgard was blowing up like a conical bottom spreading up into the sky, but as the wind caught Mizgard, the wind gradually narrowed down to a single line of wind, and it was gaining more momentum. Mizgard had completely lost its freedom in that wind.

　Shortly after Mizgard began to move as Nizbek had instructed, he was struck by a sudden attack from below, startled, and tried to resist it, but the intense wind pressure and blizzard that wrapped around his body and tore through his entire body rendered him unable to act.
　Then Mizgard was gradually dragged down towards the ground, bound by the wind.
　Mizgard stared grudgingly downward as he turned upside down. And then Mizugard enters his vision.

''Aagaaga!　Hey, girl!　Gomme!　Gizama is ~, oma~ hugging ~, my little girl~.

　When Mizugard's gaze met hers, Mizuho brushed her own glossy black hair back as if she were brushing away something dirty.

''Han!　Sorry, but this isn't my hobby!　But instead I'm going to give you something to hold on to?

　When he said that, Mizuho made a small flame appear on his right palm. However, the flames were vicious and unworthy of their size, which was evident to Masato beside him
　Zuiho held up the super densely shaped mass of fire spirits on his palm in front of him and blew out a breath, like a gentle sleeping breath, ''Huu.

''Repent of your own sins and be burned by the fires of hell........

　That little flame that left Mizuho's hand.
　That flame was a flash of light, a flash of light, and rode the rising tide that Mizuho had created.

''Nowa!''

　Without a cue, Yuto shielded his eyes with his arms from the flashes of flames released by Mizuho's flames, but he saw the flames heading towards Mizgard like a dragon rushing up into the sky. The sharp end of that flame made contact with Mizgard.

''Hee!　Gomme!　Gumshoe!　Rubber......

　Mizgard was swallowed from the head of the upside-down body by the dragon's gong of fire.
　The mizgard enveloped in the high purity oxygen collected by the spirit of the wind is enveloped by the flame of high fire power by the fire spirit, the heat of several times the combustion of nearly 3,000 degrees Celsius in the high oxygen state that occurs originally. With the help of the spirits, an infinite supply of oxygen is provided, and an unadulterated flame that doesn't exist in nature spares no expense.

　Mizgard disarmed the fog of spiritual power without a care in the world, and focused his spiritual power on his own defense.
　But no longer ... it was no longer an environment in which a living being could exist. Mizgard's body fell from the sky, carbonizing as it fell from the sky. The reason why Mizgard didn't instantly turn into charcoal was thanks to the protective membrane of its spiritual power and the fat it had stored in itself.
　Mizgard's body, which had turned into a lump of charcoal, crashed hard into the ground in front of Yuto and the others, and what would have been the limbs shattered into pieces.

''Fuu.''

　Mizuho exhaled heavily as she released the strongest attack technique against the individual that Mizuho possessed.
　

''What a jutsu........''

　At that muttering of Yuto, Mizuho smiled wryly with a somewhat, pale complexion.

''Am I surprised?　Yuto. This is..........my hidden gem...... I don't have a name......................because this is my original. Well, the drawback is that it takes a long time to activate the jutsu.......

'No I'm surprised. With this much power... it's simple, but if it wasn't an anomalous enemy like this one, it would be a powerful strategy that could be used in almost every situation!

''........Yuto. Who do you think I am...?

　As she said that, Mizuho snapped her knees with a gulp.

''Mizuho-san!''

　You're not going to be able to get a good deal more than just a few minutes of your time. However, Mizuho immediately got up on her own, as if she didn't need it. However, seeing Mizuho's exhausted complexion, Yuto realized that it was clearly a depletion of spiritual power.

''I'm Shitenji Mizuho!　An A-lancher as defined by the agency's competence!　And who will rise to the SS ranks in the near future!　So, Yuto!　I don't care, just get to Marion's and get to it!　This is a victory for us this time!　You have to complete this mission you set up!

　Receiving Mizuho's sharp gaze..........Yuto nodded quietly.

''........Alright. I'll go cover Marion-san right away!

　When Yuto says that, he doesn't hesitate to turn his body and head to Marion's side.
　

You..........aren't you strong?　Because the spirits have been telling me about it for a while now.　And then it's okay to rest. Because you're here......... I haven't heard a voice like this since the coming of age ceremony.

　And then.....

Ni....z...Beck....

!

　Suddenly, from the mass of smoking coals.................a growl enters Mizuho's ears.

'Needs ... bec ... bec ... loki ... a ... lum ... zama ...'

　But then the voices died away.
　Mizuho resists the exhaustion that envelops her whole body.......and stands in front of the charred Mizgard.

(Kneesbeck?　Loki ... what?　(Loki ... lum?)

　Mizuho's brow furrowed as she looked down at Mizugard, who was already a lump of charcoal.
