(What's he doing here?

　In his mind, 37 shouted.

　37 had immediately recognized the girl's identity.
　He was able to confirm the wavelength of a person's magic power by passing through the magic eye, just like Lasell, and he had found a match among those he had met in the past.

　In fact, they were so distinctive that I couldn't help but recall them.

　I still remember it.
　In the northern part of the Villa Amst Kingdom, I still remember the time when the legendary monster bird, Chrome, was unsealed....
　The strength of the bird.....

　However, what I remember most clearly is the strength of the chief of the "Numbered Children" - №0 "Mama", who corresponded to Chrome.

　She treated the legendary monster bird like a toy and overpowered it.

　This match is still engraved in the hearts of 37 people.
　It's not an aspiration, nor is it envy.
　It was simply a reminder of the horrors of violence.

　In the end, Momma won, but Chrome is still a monster.

Should we retreat?

　Fortunately, it seems that Chrome is still as bird-headed as ever.
　It was in his best interest to escape while he could.

'54! Let's get away!

No!

What are you talking about?　Listen to me, 54!

No!

　54 refused to do it.

　It seems that he's too pissed off.
　He's glaring at Chrome as if he were avenging his parents.
　But we must have him pull back, even if he's stubborn.

'You're out of your depth--no, we're out of our depth!　You can't even compete with the numbered kids above, 54, you can.

No!　I'm not going to back down after being falsely accused of being this far.

54!

And...

　54 stared at 37 with a snap.
　Seeing the large, distorted face, 37 gulped.

　54 gave his companion a sharp look, but unexpectedly, there were tears in his eyes.

'Why?　Why?

What?

'Why do you call me a number, brother?

　Sheesh.

　Thirty-seven cursed myself for being so careless.
　I was so upset that I just called them by their numbers (numbers).

　37 and 54 are not my real relatives.
　But 54 is a very mentally unstable witch.
　Therefore, he needed some kind of mental support.

　For some reason, 37, who has always been looked up to as "big brother" for some reason, was selected for that task and has been paired with him ever since.

　From 37's point of view, there was no strong dependence on 54.
　He even found it annoying.
　If it wasn't for Mom's orders, he would have dissolved the pairing long ago.

　But we've been together for years.
　I know how to soothe her.

'I'm sorry, sister. I heard that you got upset, big brother, and replaced him with a bad big brother (I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry). Now that the good brother has replaced him, it's all right.

Good. I know you. You're my brother.

　For now, he's back in a good mood.

　It's possible to discard it, but it will show the other party the magician's hand.
　The analytical power of that [villager] Lasell cannot be underestimated.
　There's a chance that the method of manufacturing a demon will be exposed.

　We had to leave together with 54 at all costs.

''(We need to somehow take advantage of the gap and let 54 hit him one time.)''

　If you do it back somewhat, the blood on your head might go down.

　Once you've cooled down, you can retreat.

''Alright.....

　In 37, the plan is set.
　It's just a matter of execution.

Let's do it, sister.

That's what I'm talking about, brother.

　There was a crunching sound.
　It was the sound of 54 chewing the candy that he was licking.
　As it was, he chewed the whole stick stuck in the candy with a crunch and swallowed it.

'Let's go!

　54 charged.



'Huh?　Really?　Mazin?　Majin? Oh, I've heard that one before. Where is it?　By the way, where am I?

　Black was still tilting his head as the demons prepared to fight.

　54 loomed from his side.

''Oh no!''

　A third class student shouted.
　But even if he didn't scream like that, Black was still reacting properly.
　He didn't think about it.
　He was still pondering over the word 'demon'.

　But is it a wild intuition?

　His hand came out naturally and caught 54's fist.
　He didn't look at 54 at all.
　That seemed to irritate them.

''You, at least look at me!

　There was no sign of the emotionally unstable demon, dripping large tears from earlier.
　Veins appeared on his temples and he let out an angry voice.

''Hm?　Huh?　Who are you, man?

This--this oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

　54 quickly activated his magic.

　[Earth Dragon Bombing Bellow Formation]

　It is an advanced spell of the same flame attribute as the [Dragon Emperor's Great Fire].
　It's a spell that is accompanied by an explosion, and has the power to pulverize the surrounding radius.

"54!

　That's too much!
　37 advice was drowned out in the sound of the explosion.
　A white light flashed on the scene.
　A moment later, the sound of the explosion roared around the area.
　It obliterated everything around it.

　Naturally, a haze of smoke was spat out.

　The third-grade students who were watching managed to escape with the first-grade students.
　The same goes for the 37.

　And at the same time, they stare at the deep crater that opened up in front of them.

What's that witch doing?　That's a suicide bomb.

　Normally, explosive magic is used at a distance from the enemy.
　In the first place, most of the [Mage (Wizard)] magic is suitable for long distances.
　It's not just the advantage of being able to shoot from a long distance.
　It's also the safest way to shoot from a long distance.

　That's how powerful the occupational magic of 【Mages (Wizard)】 is.

　In the first place, 【Mage(Wizard)】, closing the distance to make a suicide attack is strange.
　It was insane.

''Guhahahahaha!''

　A loud laugh, without a trace of s*x appeal, suddenly came from the center of the explosion.
　It wasn't Black's voice.
　It was definitely the voice of that witch, 54.

　When the smoke was cleared, 54 still appeared.

　Naturally, its body was not unharmed.
　On the contrary, it was following a serious injury.
　This was because his hands, which were filled with magic power, had been blown off.

　Still, 54 is laughing.
　Sadistically.........
　He twisted his body as if enjoying the fact that his hands had been groped itself.
　The scars are burned off, and not even blood is flowing.

　However--.

　[Great recovery]

　Activate the magic.
　In no time at all, 54 wounds were healed.

''You can use [Cleric]'s magic too?

　The third class roared.
　It was already known by Lasell that a mage could use two occupational magic.
　Apparently, 54 is a [Mage (Wizard)] and a [Cleric].

''It would be foul........''

　Approaching at close range, the 【Mage(Wizard)】 magic is applied without fail.
　The injured body is restored with 【Cleric】....

　There is no such thing as a foul.
　It's a tactic I wouldn't even consider doing.
　All I could say was that it was crazy.

　But it's a foul, and so is the opponent.

　The smoke moves softly.
　It was Black who appeared in front of the recovering 54.

'What are you doing?'

'Hey!　You!

　Black was completely unharmed.
　He didn't even have a graze wound.
　He was in the middle of energetically thrusting his fist at 54.

''It's still a monster!

　37, who was checking from a little distance, shouted.
　He ruffled his bangs and unleashed the power of the demonic eye.
　The power that was granted the [Stagnation] command (command) was supposed to invade the magic circuit within the demonic beast in an instant and stop its movement.

''It's now!　54, we're retreating!

　37 shouts.

　He finally realizes how much of a monster Black is.
　54 honestly turns his back to him.
　Its face was already drawn with fear.
　He hadn't received a single graze from a decent direct hit of advanced magic.
　54's actions were understandable.

　But .

''Where are you going?

　When I turned around, I saw Black.
　The 37 demon eyes shouldn't even be able to speak.
　And yet, instead of a voice, Black was pumping his fist loudly.

''It's our turn!

　Gun!

　Black's right fist neatly thrusts into 54's cheek.
　His teeth fly off, and the impact is so great that it pierces his mouth and sends him flying outward.
　As it is, the entire body is blown away and breaks through the wall of a nearby building.

''Why, why!　My magic eye isn't working!

　That was a bigger problem for 37 than 54's safety.

　But there was no way to know if he asked Black.
　He was a bird that had lived more than 200 years, but in terms of memory and knowledge, he was no better than an infant. No, the infant was much smarter than he was.

　There was no way they could know anything technical.
　It's just that Black's magic eye didn't work on him.
　That's all there is to it.

"You're a witch, aren't you?

　Black asks.

　To the third class.........

'No, no!　It wasn't me!　Over there. I'm your team leader.

Hmm?　Come to think of it, it sounds vaguely familiar.

You're not even close to having a good memory!

'Rude!　Black remembered that.

You're kidding me. Oh, well. That's the genie!　Kick his ass, Black!

　I guess it's called shock therapy.
　Apparently, the impact of the earlier explosion reminded me of it.

"Majin, I remembered. ...No, I remembered. A demon is an enemy. Sage's enemy......... Enemy of Chrome. I remembered. I just forgot what I remembered.

What kind of a theory is that?

'Shut up!　That's where I'll settle down.

d*mn!

　Looking at the arguing third class students and Black, 37 turns his back to them.

''Ah!　He got away!

I can't let you go!

　Black lands a kick to the ground.
　With one kick, he caught up with 37's physical abilities.
　37's occupation is 【Warrior (Warrior)】.
　He was wearing an enhancement, but he easily surpassed it.

　Black creates a kicking stance as it is.
　He's got his arms crossed and 37 has taken a defensive stance.
　But Black's kick flicked his defense lightly.

　It went straight into 37's jaw.

　37's consciousness flies.
　As it was, he collapsed on the back street of the Sow Trading Company.

''Hmph!　I don't know what to say.

　Black laughed loudly, like a battle cry, like a victory cry.
