Himemizu Rin and Hakuba Kazusumi are forced to venture out into the battlefield after the wall they fled into was quickly destroyed. The human knights and mages are outnumbered on the battlefield filled with a large number of little demons (Imps) and ghouls. What was even more astonishing was that a few monsters that looked very similar to that Dead Spirit King had been identified.

''For now, let's find Utsurogi-kun and the others!
Yeah, I'd like to meet up with you once.

　At Rin's words, Hakuba nodded.

'Himemizu, get on my back for now. You're moving too fast.''
What? Are you okay?　I've had water bottles shoved down my body and people slurping my whole body fluids.
'No, yeah. It's okay, maybe...

　The white horse muttered that while trembling a little, so Rin tried to poke her hind legs a little bit for now. There didn't seem to be any particular rejection, so she did her best to crawl up and try to put her body on the saddle.

''Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Hi!

　Hakuba loses his balance as it is and falls over. Rin's body is also thrown into the air.

''Ah, I wasn't a clean body after all!
No, it was simply too heavy!
That's a great shocker!

　The corpses slowly gathered around Slime and Unicorn, who were performing their monster ramblings. The white horse managed to get up and retreat somewhat frightened. ''There is indeed a tradition that unicorns are fierce and can skewer even elephants, but this white horse's fighting ability itself is not that high.
　Here, the only way to make the most of it is for Fat Rin and Himemizu Rin and Himemizu Rin, who have increased in density and mass.

''Orya!　Princess soup bushy!
'Hime water, the way you talk!　How to say it!

　Firing a highly compressed blast of water, it skewers and even severed the swarming corpses. This is the power of the water cutter, which is said to be used to process diamonds. The days of being a useless member of the team were a lie.
　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one. It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on it. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. It's not as if the current Rin doesn't have the guts to compress and grip the body.

'Alright, the way is clear!　Let's move!
Oh, oh!

　With Hakuba in tow, Rin begins to move impatiently. Her movement speed is slow because she has to crawl on the ground after all. Hakuba patiently kept up with me.

''But you've gotten stronger...''
Hmm, yeah. Well, hey.

　In response to Hakuba's words, Rin said it as if she had things stuck in her back teeth (no).
　It is true that Rin has become stronger. She wanted to become stronger, so that in itself is not a problem.

''I'm a little worried about Utsurogi-kun right now,''
For the oxen?
Yeah, so did you, Utsurogi. You looked like you wanted to be strong.
You'd think so, wouldn't you?　You lost. I want to be strong too.
Hmm. Well, let's see...

　To be honest, I have no idea what Kyousuke Soraki is thinking about in some ways. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but I have no idea what more he's thinking. Rin hasn't known him as long as Ei has, so she can't trace Kyousuke's thoughts clearly, and that's a bit frustrating.
　However, Rin has been at this fortress line for only one day. She could sense Kyousuke's subtle changes.

　When he thought that he couldn't borrow the battle power of the knights here, the first thing Kyousuke must have thought was, 'I have to become stronger. Or maybe it was just that similar feelings had been felt ever since he was defeated by the Red Wing Demon (Red Wing), as Hakuba had said, since he was taken away from Koganei, and it was slowly coming to the surface.

　I had a feeling it wasn't a good sign, not really.
　Rin wanted to help Kyousuke, to be strong, but in Kyousuke's case, he wants to be strong so that he can handle everything on his own. That's not a good thing.
　He still remembers the exchange of the day when Kyousuke first lent him his strength.

---I understand, Himemizu. It's hard to be called a grain crusher........

　Perhaps Kyousuke is that kind of guy. It's understandable that Ei is frustrated.
　There's a section of him that thinks he has to do something for someone else, that he has to do something for himself.

'Himemizu, look at that!　That!

　To the point where Hakuba indicated with his horns, Rin also turned her gaze.

　The sky above here. There is a figure of a skeleton in flames relative to the red-winged demon. It's Kyousuke. He is staring at each other with Red Wing.

''This isn't good, you couldn't even win a full cross...''
Come on, Hakuba-kun!

　Let's hurry up, he said, but he himself could only crawl on the ground sluggishly.
　If only he had the healthy legs of the human era, it would be a piece of cake. Rin found it oddly frustrating.




　It wasn't that she couldn't understand what the red winged demon (Red Wing) in front of her said. It was something that should have been assumed to some extent from the beginning. We should have been prepared for that possibility at all times. However, when I was told again, a hovering fear, unaccompanied by any sense of reality, slowly emerged in my words.
　There had been an attack on the base by Red Wing and the others. What that meant was the fact that they hadn't been able to get there in time. Kyousuke clenched his fists. From the way he spoke, it wasn't the man in front of him who had attacked the base for the second time, but it was safe to assume that their fighting ability was almost equal.

　A sense of helplessness and a strange feeling of uneasiness hit me at the same time. In the end, it was hearsay and there was no proof.
　But when he thinks about it being true, Kyousuke's body stiffens.

'Pull yourself together, Kyousuke.'

　Ei said in a clear voice, "Even if what that guy is saying is true, all we know is that he was attacked last night.

"Even if what he says is true, all we know is that he was attacked last night. We don't know for sure if our classmates are safe or not.
'That being said...'

　Staring at the Red Wing, which stays in the air with a smirk in front of him, Kyousuke thinks.
　I'm sure everyone in the base will be safe after being attacked by a demon with the same level of power as this guy. That physical strength that kicked out a full cross and didn't attract comparable bragging rights at all. Even the current Kyousuke and Ei don't feel like they can win at all.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that you're not going to be able to get the job done. Nothing happens if you are shocked and despairing here. It's important to have hope that everyone might be safe. Right?
Well, we'll see...

　Red Wing's words seemed to be playing with Ei, who exuded some irritation in his calm tone.

''I'm getting reports, man. "I heard that the people in the Promised Cemetery (Catacombs) were able to get rid of about half of the useless ones, and managed to bring back those who could be used."
You're lying.

　As if to cover the end of his words, Ei asserts.

'You guys shouldn't have the means to communicate with each other in detail over such a long distance. If there was, the re-attack on the base would have taken place at an even earlier stage. I'm sure you'll be able to get the most out of the situation by bringing along a number of people, as you were busy kidnapping Koganei alone last time.
I had a collaborator. I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one. I'm sure you're afraid to stand up to our king, so it's only natural, but...
.........

　Ei was silent at Red Wing's words. It's not that he was told off. He still doubts it.
　But Kyousuke knew that Ei's words meant more than asking the truth. They've been together for a long time. He knew that if the base had been attacked and things had turned out the way Red Wing said they would, it would greatly dampen Kyousuke's energy to fight.
　Ei is only trying to find the frayed edges of Red Wing's words in an attempt to bolster Kyousuke's spirits.

　Kyousuke clenched his fists tightly and looked at Red Wing.

　For now, as a friend, Ei's heart had to answer to him.

'Hoho, you still plan to resist us?
''This fortress has Himemizu, Serena-san and Hakuba in it. I won't let them all get away with it.

　Kyousuke thrust his clenched fist out forcefully towards Red Wing. The flames flared up vigorously, and Ei fired a fireball from the thrusting fist. The Red Wing Demon popped it back with a basket of hands. That armor was still troublesome. In the previous battle, the fireball fired by Koganei had had a certain effect, burning the man's exposed face. However, no damage could be passed through if it was played by that armor.

''Ei, hit the prominence ball with maximum firepower!
Okay!

　Kyousuke turned his two palms together while spewing a booster of flame. Red Wing smiled fearlessly and fired a black energy bullet. The fireball grows between his palms while evading it with a three-dimensional movement. As Kyousuke took his distance, the Red Wing also chased after him, spreading its red wings.
　The movement over there was clearly playing with it. Kyousuke was convinced. He already thinks that there is no way to resist us. Indeed, it's unlikely that Kyousuke and the others, who can't even become a full cross, can resist that red-winged demon in the current situation. It would even be smarter to run away.

　But if they run away from the Red Winged Demon here, there's no telling where this guy will be headed next.
　It could be the place where Rin, Hakuba, and even Serena escaped.

''Prominence!

　Kyousuke turned around and took a large swing at the fireball that had grown to just over a meter in diameter.



　The fired fireball landed squarely on the Red Wing, which was following straight after it. Immediately before, the black armor seemed to protect his face, but the continuous explosions still covered his entire body in flames. Kyousuke and Ei stared at the shadow of the Red Wing without caution as they waited for the flames and smoke to clear.

''Ahh........d*mn, that's pretty good.......!

　The explosion by the prominence ball had indeed succeeded in inflicting a certain amount of damage on the red-winged demon, apparently. However, it was never going to be a fatal wound. When he untied his arms that were crossed in front of his face, he revealed his sallow, dark skin, still piney as ever.
　It didn't work.
　The blow that had frightened even that king of the dead spirits was not working at all.

　Kyousuke clasped his palms together in front of his chest again.

''Ei, once again!''
I'm not going through this again!

　However, Red Wing's movement was much faster as he closed the distance in one fell swoop to his eyes.

''Fall!

　As it is, he swings his black metal boot up high and his heel hits Kyousuke's body hard.
　Kyousuke and Ei are unable to maintain their balance in the air due to the impact. They are knocked down in one fell swoop to a battlefield full of little demons (Imps) and corpses (Ghouls). There is a dull thud, a dull impact, and a large crater is created in the wilderness. Amidst the dust cloud, Kyousuke raised his upper body and checked his own body.
　No bones were shattered. Not even dismembered. His whole body was firmly connected.

'Are you okay, Kyousuke!
'Oh, yeah...'

　Kyousuke responds to Ei's shout, half stunned.
　'Is this the body that has been strengthened by Beni's blood now?

''I didn't expect it to be this strong.... I'm surprised.''

　Ei, too, had a hint of amazement in his voice, which was rare.

　Around them, several knights were engaged with the corpses. Although we were momentarily startled by the flame-clad skeletons that fell from the sky, they quickly confirmed that it was Kyousuke and the others, and then they took up a formation to protect us.

''Have you come to our aid?''
I was going to, but...

　Kyousuke looked up at the sky with a bitter thought. A red-winged demon was about to descend slowly towards us. That's not all. The several dead spirit kings (wight kings) that were around him also gather together, as if they were following the demon's instructions.
　The man who seemed to be the leader of the knights had cold sweat plastered all over his face.
　I don't know how good these knights are at fighting, but looking at the fact that they are forming cliques and engaging with small demons and wights, it seems that they are not on par with Full Cross. Even if you are dealing with one of the King of the Dead, you can expect to have a very difficult time. And even more so when there are several of them.

''Hmm?　You're not falling apart....

　In a voice that sounded somewhat out of tune, the red-winged demon descended.

I can't imagine how it works. The fact that the body that was supposed to be shattered is back, I just can't figure it out.
I can't do it alone, you know...

　Kyousuke put up a false front as best he could and took a Jeet Kune Do stance. Ei blurted out, ''Another unnecessary thing........''
　The red-winged demon snaps its feet to a halt as it approaches us, and its expression becomes a little grim.

''No........no way....''

　Kyousuke doesn't know what those words mean.

'Anyway, in addition to the valuable Phase 2, it's an individual that has invoked an unfamiliar sturdiness. The Skeleton race itself is a hazel, but it seems worth bringing back.
What...!

　Immediately after, a black lightning-like effect rushed through the red winged demon. At the point when he thought that it was that blow that knocked Rin unconscious, Ei sounded the alarm bell.

''Kyousuke!　Run!

　However, the Red Wing Demon's movements were still quicker. With a speed that Kyousuke and the other knights couldn't react to, Red Wing released a black lightning bolt from both arms.

''Ah, goooooooo...!

　A scream escaped from Kyousuke's mouth. His entire body was in intense pain, and Kyousuke's body was restrained by the red-winged demon with Ei.
　This was slightly different from that blow that stunned Rin. By the time they realized that this was a technique to take away the freedom of their opponent's body, Kyousuke and Ei's bodies had already not moved even a twitch. Some of the knights who had been engaged with the wights peeled their swords at Red Wing.

''As expected, we have no use for those humans!　Crush it!

　A bolt of lightning released from his right arm restrained Kyousuke and the others, and Red Wing gave instructions with his left arm.
　The corpses that had been moving apart until then were led by the wights, and furthermore, the several dead spirit kings that had been surrounding them were found to raise their barbaric swords in unison. The faces of the knights turned blue at once. Kyousuke shouted.

''Ya, stop...!
You should despair at your own impotence. It will make you feel better if you calm down a little.

　I had to be strong, I thought. I had to be strong, I had to be strong, I had to be strong.
　Why did my body not move so much?

　He thought back to his conversation with Carol last night. When Kyousuke asked her how to get stronger, she told him not to put down roots, and that strength was an afterthought if he was going to return to his world one day. But in the end, the result of the lack of strength is this now. You are bound by an enemy that must be defeated, unable to move a finger, and waiting for someone to die in front of you.
　Even my classmates at the base were unable to protect me. If only I had more power.

"Kyousuke!

　Ei shouted.

'You must not despair!　You.........will never.......again...!
"If you want power, we'll give it to you!　You're going to meet your friends!　Now kill it!

　Under Red Wing's direction, the King of the Dead Spirit swung down his barbaric sword.

　A roar and impact shook the air, and an explosion went up in the Dead Spirit King's body right after that.

''What!　What happened...?

　There was no one there who could answer the red-winged demon with a panicked voice.
　But as a result, the barbarian sword was not swung down. An intermittent roar and trembling sound resounded. The king of the dead spirits surrounding him broke his stance in the explosive flames rising from his entire body and fell to the wilderness. The corpses whose movements were supposed to be under control were also brought to a complete halt by the dismay of their instructors, the Red Wing. As if to take advantage of the gap, the knights cut down at once.

''What the hell was that...!

　The leader of the knights points behind Kyousuke, Red Wing and the others. In the slightly loose restraints, Kyousuke and the others barely manage to turn their gaze. The destination that was pointed at them was something that should never have been there in Kyousuke and the others' consciousness.
　The newly installed wheels turned in unison, chewing up the reddish-brown wilderness. It was twenty meters wide, or perhaps two hundred meters in length, and it was clearly commanding in this place.

　It was the figure of a heavy cruiser that Kyousuke and the others had confirmed its existence a few days after coming to this world.




''Oh, you hit it!　Did you get it?!

　On the bridge of the ship, with a telescope in hand, Ryuzaki shouted out. Indeed, flames rose from the dead king's body, and he seemed to have fallen slowly. According to Koganei's memo, the 20.3-centimeter continuous gun seemed to have done exactly what it was supposed to do in battle. Apparently these things are supposed to miss the first or second shot, but it's never too late to hit them all, even with the Magre.

　However, as I had imagined, it seems to be a pretty big battle. It wasn't a mistake to launch the heavy cruisers ahead of schedule.
　The rigidity of the armor seems to still have some problems, and because we pushed it, it's rattling in many places, and to begin with, since last night, we've been sleepless and sleepless, and none of us have been able to take a rest, and we've been completely exhausted, but even so, we managed to make it in time, so this decision was not a mistake.

　None of the students from Kamidai High School's second year class 4 who were at the base last night were missing from this ship. Incidentally, the goblins and skeletons are also with them. They are working as human legs.

''Chairman, I found Utsurogi and Hino. They are at the feet of the King of the Dead that I just shot.
Mmm....

　I looked through the telescope again at Nekomiya's (Ket Shih) report. She was right. Indeed, there is a figure of a flame-clad Utsurogi. I don't see Rin, Hakuba, or even Serena.

''I'll leave the command of the ship to Gokugawara.
What, me?

　Ryuzaki said just that and turned to leave the bridge. Gokugawara (the goblin) looked a little confused with the Koganei note that was thrown to him in one hand.

'I'm going to help you, Ryuzaki.

　Benii, who was brushing his nails in boredom, said something like that in a whisper. Ryuzaki stopped in his tracks.
　Next to Benii was Sakuma, and a little farther away, Inugami sat down. Inugami was still glaring at Benii. It would be a lie if he said he had no hesitation in keeping the girls together here, but they were still the same classmates. Besides, the reason we are here now is because of Benii.

　Sakuma, too, asked in a slightly worried tone of voice, "Ryuzaki-kun, are you okay?

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that you're not going to be able to get out of the house.　Is it going to work?
Yeah. Yeah, I just got it done a few hours ago. I'm not gonna be piggybacking on the morons forever, either.

　Saying that, Ryuzaki once again jumped out of the bridge and ran straight down the deck. The skeletons and goblins that were attached to the turret, along with some of the students, waved at Ryuzaki.
　Ryuzaki drew his fighting spirit from the depths of his mind as he ran up the deck toward the bow of the ship. A hot sensation that made his blood boil ran through his entire body. When Kunihiro Ryuzaki transferred to us as a dragonoid, the ancient power engraved deep in his genes awakened.

　Just as many of his friends supported him as the chairman of the committee. He doesn't intend to put the entire fight on Kyousuke and the others. On Ryuzaki's back, his determination opens his wings wide.
　Meet me in time. Stay safe until I get there myself.
　With sufficient assistance, Ryuzaki makes his body leap into the air.

　A magnificent dragon, which could be ten meters long, took off from the deck of the heavy cruiser.




''What the hell is this?　Don't tell me that guy........failed!

　Red Wing's dismay is evident as he recognizes the figure of the heavy duty officer who stopped at a remote location.
　That guy, by that guy, he must be referring to the fellow who attacked the base. Kyousuke understands. The classmates have succeeded in escaping. I don't know what means they used or what kind of sacrifice they made, but at least they escaped from the danger of being wiped out.
　Ei was right, more than half of the conversation we had just had was a bluff. But judging from his confidence and the panic he's in right now, he must have guessed that this was going to be the case in the not-too-distant future. That prediction was wrong, and now I am distraught.

"What in the world...!　That guy, that guy...!
I guess I'm out of luck.

　Ei muttered gruffly. The black lightning still restrained our movements. It was too early to be strong, but Kyousuke decided to let him say it.

''You're quite embarrassed to say something so victorious, aren't you?''
'Shut up!　Remember, the situation is still in our favor!

　As Red Wing raised one arm, the fallen Dead Spirit Kings slowly raised themselves up. Both of them had been damaged to the point that some of their arms were missing, but it was still more than enough to maintain the destructive power that their huge bodies could unleash.
　However, the King of the Dead Spirit, who had just stood up, was once again knocked to the ground by another shadow that came rushing in from the sky.

''Whoa whoa whoa!

　A smashing blow from above. It brought not only the King of the Dead Spirit, but also the small demons and corpses that lined up in a row with the impact of the landing, underneath its huge body. Its body was five meters long. If you include the long tail, it must be 10 meters long, which is the very dragon that is celebrated in lore.
　In front of the stunned Kyousuke and the knights, the dragon strikes the assembled king of the dead spirit with a breath from close range. The flames exploded and in a flash, one of them completely stopped functioning. The two remaining death spirit kings were also knocked down by the powerful tail to the side.

　The tail grazed the red-winged demon's body, and at that moment, there was a moment when the restraints were released with a slight click of the tongue. Kyousuke and Ei took that moment to break free of the Red Wing's control.

'Utsurogi, Hino, are you safe!

　The voice emanating from the giant body was much lower, but it was a voice that Kyousuke was familiar with.

Ryuzaki...?
It's me!　Glad to see you made it in time.

　With that, Ryuzaki put his four legs on the earth and glared at the red winged demon as he sheltered Kyousuke, Ei, and the Order.

'I hear that the number of Dragoneuts that can turn into complete dragons is decreasing.... I knew this guy was Phase 2 as well!''

　Red Wing shouted abominably. At the same time, a roar echoed a short distance away.
　It wasn't caused by gunfire from the heavy cruiser. When I looked at the ground, the ground had been turned upside down significantly and a mountain had been built with the wreckage of small demons and corpses. A few hundred meters from here, visually speaking. It was a mountain built by Knight General Carol and a few talented knights who were connected to it.
　Two Red Wings had already begun to engage Carroll and the others. It probably means that holding them back with small fry is also the limit. It may be that they are planning to crush the place where they have been exhausted at once.

''Tch...!　I'm sorry, but I don't have time to deal with them!

　You're going to add to it. The Red Wing in front of me spread its wings.

"You're not going to get away with this!

　Ryuzaki also flapped his large wings and tried to chase the Red Wing. A moment later, a level of wind pressure that made it impossible for even Kyousuke and the others to stand, hit us. Ei, who is about to be wiped out, said, ''You still can't read the air! I found myself shouting.
　But Red Wing didn't let the ten-fold difference in size stop him, and this time he hit Ryuzaki with the kato-drop that had knocked down Kyousuke and the others. Ryuzaki was momentarily frightened by the blow that plunged between his eyebrows, and was shot down in a flash by the black energy body that shot out of both arms.

''Guuuuut...!

　Kyousuke and the knights hurriedly left the scene so that they wouldn't be crushed by Ryuzaki's huge body falling down. With a roar, Ryuzaki's body sent up a cloud of dust. Red Wing glared at us while breathing on his shoulder, and then spread his wings and headed towards Carol.
　Carol's movements were somewhat slow against the two Red Wings, as if fatigue was slowly accumulating on her part.

''Ryuzaki, are you alright?''

　I'm worried about Carol, but for now I ask the chairman of the committee who has come to help me.

'Yeah, she's very sturdy.
'What the hell is going on here? The heavy cruisers are moving ahead of schedule, and I heard there was a raid on the base...
Well, we'll talk about it later when things settle down.

　Ryuzaki slowly raised his body. With the knights' success, the wights around him were wiped out.

''Utsurogi-kun!

　Just then, I heard this familiar voice again, so I turned around and saw that Rin and Hakuba were running towards us. No, Rin's not running. He's crawling hard.

''Utsurugi-kun....I'm glad you're safe.......wow!　Big!
'Rin, Hakuba, I'm glad you're both okay.
Ryuzaki-kun!　You've gotten so big!　I have a feeling I can't speak for others either!

　Rin's pace is her usual pace. There is a sense of being out of tune, of being put back in tune.
　Hakuba is going around casting a recovery spell on the wounded knights. He's doing that embarrassing chant out loud and in a groove. The knights didn't smile bitterly, but rather stood upright and immobile with their drawn swords held up in front of their chests. Maybe it's a pose that has a meaning similar to a salute.

　It seems that Ryuzaki was right, they are both safe. Kyousuke breathed a little relief.

'The problem is just beginning.'

　Ryuzaki looks up at the Red Wing heading towards Carol and the others and says.

''That female knight person looks much stronger...''
Oh, that's Serena's teacher.
Yes..........

　Come to think of it, Ryuzaki didn't even know that Serena was a princess. It's going to be complicated to explain here, so I'll keep quiet.

''It doesn't matter how strong the Knight General is. That was a near-fatal wound to Kyousuke and mocked us.
You need to take a swing at him to make him happy.

　The white horse, who had finished casting a recovery spell, said with a sneer.

''Well, I feel the same way.''

　For now, we are coming to a consensus that we are going to go after that Red Wing and give it a shot in the buzz. But what should we do? Kyousuke had no idea what to do, everyone had no idea. The current Ryuzaki, who had crossed over to the King of the Dead Ghosts more than evenly, could definitely be seen to be as powerful as Full Cross, but he still couldn't stand up to that demon and was easily knocked down.

　Kyousuke doesn't have enough power to strike that demon with a single blow.
　The bitter emotions he had experienced earlier when he was restrained by Red Wing came back to him.

　Even if I wish to be strong, I can't be strong. My strength is overwhelmingly insufficient.

''Utsurogi-kun, let's combine!

　Rin said that while making her whole body bounce. The knights, who didn't understand the meaning of the words, looked at her as if they were gawked at.

''That's right. It would be better for Himemizu than me. It turns out that Kyousuke's skeleton is also quite sturdy, and he can withstand Himemizu's current body.''

　Ei nodded.

'You want to be strong too, Utsurogi-kun, right?　Once, after that red-winged demon defeated Koganei-kun and kidnapped him, he wanted to be strong, right?　I had to take that thing down, didn't I?

　Kyousuke couldn't help but look at Ei after Rin's words. It's a feeling that even he had only vaguely understood. I thought that the only person who could grasp such a thing would be Ei, but apparently, looking at his attitude, it's not like Ei leaked it to Rin.

''I said I wanted to help you, Utsurogi-kun. I'll help you!　People can't get strong on their own, you know.
We're not human, though.
No, he's human.

　Kyousuke tried to reply with a standard joke, but Rin told him so once and for all.

"Even though I look like this, even if they call me a triangle corner, I still think of myself as a human being, and I think of Utsurogi-kun as a human being too.
''But even if I have the help of Himemizu here, that doesn't make me stronger...''
You know, I don't know what it is.

　Ryuzaki interjects.

''That kind of thing is just something we can all share. I don't think Utsurogi and his friends are the only ones who have to be strong.
'Yes, yes. We all have to get a little stronger and build on that strength. We all have to suffer a little bit at a time.

　Rin said that and moved a bit closer to Kyousuke's feet.

''Like I said, I thought that when Utsurogi-kun comforted me.
Well....

　Kyousuke muttered and looked at his own hands.

　In the first place, this body itself was strengthened by Beni's blood. He was reminded of how tiny his own power was. However, according to Rin and Ryuzaki's words, that's apparently fine with me.
　It doesn't matter if it's a borrowed power. As long as everyone adds a little bit of power to each other and that's how it reaches them, that's fine.

　Kyousuke clenched his fists and said to Rin

''Okay, thanks. Himemizu, let's combine.
Yeah!

　Rin bounces up and down. Furthermore, Kyousuke looks directly at Ryuzaki.

'Ryuzaki, I can't fly because I can't be a full cross so I can't fly. Let me ride.
Yeah, no problem.

　The problem is that I don't know how well I can fight against that demon when I combine with Rin now. But still, he has no choice but to do it.
　Ei moves away from Kyousuke's body, which has made up its mind.

''I'd like to bang that guy if I could, too, but I'll give that role to Himemizu.
Ei....
''This one will work with Hakuba and the other knights to clean up the miscellaneous fish. Go to your heart's content, Kyousuke.
Okay. Thank you.
However,

　Ei cleared his throat, looked at Kyousuke and Rin, and then said in a tense voice.

'The combined call is 'Stream Cross'. Make sure you get your timing right.
