What the hell?　What the hell!　What is that boy?　It's not supposed to be... it's not supposed to be like this!

　Hundred Eyes was in the back seat of a car driven by a Chinese agent who was speeding through the city.
　Hundred Eyes, who had always kept a calm expression on his face, was now unable to grasp the situation and slapped his own knee in anger and impatience. The strategy hadn't worked at all, and Hyakugan had practically left his friends behind to escape. The current Hyakugan is just a loser and a fugitive. The current scarred figure deserves to be called that.
　It was a situation that he hadn't imagined before executing the operation.

(The dead bird slipped up?　(No it didn't look that way as far as I can tell)

　Moments ago was the first time that Hyakugan had seen the battle of Death Bird and Yan Shui with his eyes. Therefore, he didn't know exactly if the dead bird was cutting corners or not.

(I don't know of any such high-level offense or defense. Moreover, there is no benefit to the dead bird by cutting corners. The kids are in our hands, you know. But........they're just a D-ranked kid!　(No way........the agency sent you!)

　The car with Hyakugan in it heads to the hotel that Hyakugan and the others are using as their temporary lodging.

(The agency deliberately certified a high rank ability person as D-ranked... no, but our actions shouldn't have been known beforehand.)

　The more Hyakugan thinks about it, the more he doesn't understand. All of the confusion in that Hyakugan's head was caused by that rank D boy.
　Considering the dead bird's history of warfare, even if his skills were a little bit off, his ability should have been at least a rank S, as the agency called it.
　That is why it was impossible for him to fail.

(Why would such an inferior-ranked little boy be on par with a dead bird?!

　But right now, this failure hurts more than that.
　This time's mission hadn't been envisioned as what would happen after the failure. Moreover, with the clash of power between Death Bird and Yuto, it had become several times more flamboyant than what they had expected.
　This kind of extremely forceful commotion was caused in another country, Japan. As expected, Japan will not be able to ignore it.

"Godd*mn it!

　Hundred Eyes slammed his fist into the door of a sturdy, bulletproof car.
　Hyakugan has an idea of what to expect in the future.
　With this failure, we are no longer talking about a quarrel with a competent person belonging to an agency. It was a flamboyant rampage on a public road in another country. And, in no small part, they have destroyed that highway.
　And, of course, the fact that they rioted in a school in another country is added to the list.
　The Japanese government, as expected, will not remain silent any longer.
　In this situation, the Japanese government and the World Organization of Capable Persons (WPA), which does not have a staff of gifted and talented people, will work more closely together to investigate the incident and come up with a countermeasure. It is also inevitable that the ongoing discussions on the curse will be affected.
　Japan's stance has hardened and the countermeasures will naturally be taken by the institutions. The nature of the request, which was until now supposed to be made quietly to the Japanese government, will also change.
　This means that the agencies will now move without hesitation. Moreover, despite the fact that they are working behind the scenes at the national level, they have left behind the evidence of recognition slips belonging to the Dark Night's Leopard. Moreover, it has also left behind three people with Dark Night Leopard abilities in this raid.
　It's a total failure.

''Kuh... how did this happen!　This cushy request should have only made the Count remember better!　If I go home empty-handed with this, I'll...

　Hyakugan stares at the floor of the car with his head in despair and fear.

(I can't end this ... at this point. I don't care about the curse problem. I don't care about the Chinese Communist People's State!　(The Count's orders must be obeyed!

　Hyakugan looked up and his empty eyes widened as if he had lost his sanity.

''What happened to the dead bird...?''

'No, no, no, not that much right now...'

　Even the agent replied to Momonome's creepy atmosphere with dismay.

'No way, he's not going to stay behind and continue fighting like that. He's probably going to return to the hotel. Gather the rest of them immediately. Gather the remaining dark night leopards and everyone else!

Yes, yes, I'll tell him right away.

　
　



　After repelling the attack, Yuto and the others had given up on going to school for a while, and were heading to the institute's laboratory in a car prepared by the Omine and Kamizen families, who appeared soon after that.
　There was also a medical facility dedicated to the agency there, and they were also expecting Nisae and Shima to come in to check on the situation.

''Yuto-san, are you okay?''

　Marion asks with tears in her eyes from Yuko's right side.

''Yeah, it's okay, Marion. So don't worry so much, I'm used to this kind of thing.......

"Idiot!　How am I supposed to get used to this!　You're left shoulder is a hot mess!

　A red-faced and angry Mizuho let out a loud voice from the other side of Marion.

''Haha, I'm sorry...''

　The car was driven by a member of the Omine family, sitting in the passenger's seat, flanked by Akira and Marion and Mizuho in the back seat. Thinking of Yujin, who was injured all over his body, the collarbone in his left shoulder was broken and his shoulder acromioclavicular joint was injured, he tried to head for the two cars in a relaxed manner, but Mizuho and Marion wouldn't give up the side of Yujin, and they ended up in the current situation.

''Doudu-kun, in fact, don't push yourself. If it's too hard, please tell me right away. I'll move those two to the car behind you immediately. Totally.........I know you two are worried about Mr. Dou Dou Dou, but you won't be riding together.

　When Akera said that, both Mizuho and Marion looked away awkwardly.
　Meira sighed, but right now she was really worried about Yuto's body.
　To Ming-liang, it was no exaggeration to say that Yuto had saved his and his Lord Mizuho's lives. Ming Liang was not foolish enough to misjudge Yuto's abilities after witnessing the fight between Yuto and Yan Shizui this time. A chill ran down his spine when he thought about what would have happened if it wasn't for Yuto.
　That was why Meira felt indebted to Yuto. Especially for saving the Lord, Mizuho, and Marion, the guest of the Shitennji family.

''Doudu-kun thank you. Without you, we wouldn't be doing this now.

'No, don't worry about it, Shinzen-san. Besides, it's those guys who attacked us that are to blame.

　Yuto was a little uncomfortable with the situation with Mizuho and Marion moving their gazes all over his body from both sides to check all of his wounds. The two of them were tending to Yuto's first aid, holding the wound ointment in one hand as they tended to him.

''Oh, Mizuho-san, Marion-san, it's okay. I'm strong in pain, and since Mizuho-san and the others are also wounded, you should apply it to your own first...''

Shut up!　Yuto.

No. Please don't move.

　Masato is told by the two girls with a pizzazz and is silent. The two girls apply an ointment containing antibiotics to the badly wounded area, but it tickles, and they apply it close to my face, and it's kind of... embarrassing.
　Do they know what they are doing?　The three of them sit in the backseat, just to see what the situation would be like if they got any closer, even though there was no space between them.
　Yuto's face is up in the air, but Mizuho and Marion are too absorbed in their treatment to notice, and they're leaning in closer, their uniform skirts in disarray.
　Akera, worried about Yuto's injuries, turned around to admonish them, and when she checked on his situation... she smiled and looked forward without saying anything.
　After a while, when they came near the institute's laboratory, Ming Liang spoke to Yuto with a serious face.

''Doudou-kun may I ask you something?''

What is it?

Who the f*ck are you?

....

　That question from Akera caused Mizuho and Marion to unintentionally stop tending to Yuto's wounds as well.

''No, I'm sorry. I know I'm being rude. But I don't think I'm the only one who feels this way........ Anyone who has seen you fight like that........

........Shinzen-san. My name is.........Du Du Yuto.

What?

''I'm the agency's rank D natural ability, Dou Dou Dou Yuto. I'm nothing more or less than that. It's just that my abilities are a bit specialized in melee combat.

　Akera listened in silence to Yuto's explanation without changing her expression.
　

''........I understand. If you say so, there's no doubt about it. I'll believe what you say. As long as you say so, I believe it. I'm sorry I said that. I'm sorry, Dudu.

Okay that's it, please, Shinzen-san.

　Mizuho and Marion heard the exchange and felt like they were patting their hearts, but they both also understood Akariang's feelings painfully. The two of them were one of the few people who knew what kind of an ability called Dou Du Yuto was.
　But they have the same question as Ming Liang.
　Who is Du Du Yuto?　And.
　But the two of them had some inkling that the answer was not something they would hear from him. When that would be........I don't know. But they felt that they had no choice but to wait for the day when they would hear it from Yuto's mouth.......

''But........what is the purpose of those guys? What is the purpose of preparing such a large amount of forces to carry it out? After this second attack, I know that they are definitely obsessed with either Mizuho-sama or Marion-san, but.......

　Meira would change the subject, but this one was certainly an important issue as well.
　What was he going to do after causing so much commotion?　And it doesn't even have the appearance of secrecy anymore.

I don't know what their true purpose is. I don't know what their real purpose is, but I've heard what they're trying to do.

'What?　Mr. Du Du, did you hear that from that enemy?

'Yes......... I don't know if it's true or not because it's what the enemy said, but that guy said it.

　Yuto shifted his gaze to Marion and his eyes met Marion's blue eyes.

''Those guys........said their goal was to abduct Marion-san and take her away to China.......''

'Me? Why are you so...?

　Marion was astonished and so was Akera. And Mizuho put a lot of effort into her eyes, but still.....

''My personal opinion, but I think this is probably true. Even in the last attack, I felt like those guys were aware of Marion-san. And I don't think there's any point in spouting such a lie to me in the midst of all that has happened.

'Is that true!　Mr. Du Du!

　Although he knew of such things as the use of the Sacred Dao Messenger in knowledge, Ming Liang had never met one.
　Moreover, I've also heard that although the knowledgeable Sacred Dao messengers are powerful, they are not interested in this kind of ukiyoe involvement.

''Yes ... and that guy came up with his own name.

　Meira couldn't help but turn back and look at Yuto.

''That guy called himself Yan Shizui........''

"Swallow stop...?　I don't think I've ever heard of a swallow... but no way!　A dead bird!　A dead bird's water stoppage!

　Meira was speechless when she heard the name.
　Then, the car of Yuto and the others arrived at the gate of the institute's laboratory.
