Suzu's movement, which had been continuing her rapid progress, stopped with a snap.
　He was motionless like a stone statue, and the light disappeared from his eyes.

''Yay!

　Kanade jumped up and down as if to express her joy.
　With the same momentum, she hugged us.

''Whoa!''
Lane, you did it!　I beat your mother!
Well, wait. It's too early to tell. I'll have to wait and see how it goes before I...
That's not necessary. The cat spirit race is vulnerable to ghosts. You win, you win.

　Kanade jumps up and down on the spot.
　Each time she does, every part of her body is pressed against...
　You need to pull yourself together.

　Be that as it may.

"What do you think, Tania?

　Tania looked into Suzu's face, which remained frozen.

''Hmm.......I agree with the opinion that the cat spirit race is so vulnerable to attacks like this.......''
But?
For all the talk of being possessed, isn't it strange that Tina's consciousness has never come to the surface?
Oh.

　If you ask me, yes.
　If he succeeded in possessing her, then Tina's consciousness should have come to the surface.
　And yet, no one's consciousness came out, and Suzu remained frozen.......
　I've got a bad feeling about this.

　And that premonition is true.

　With a twitch, I saw Suzu's fingertips move.

"Tania, get away from me!
Huh!

　Tania also seemed to have sensed Suz's movement.
　She jumped backwards in a panic.

　And.........

What the hell?

　With a pawn, Tina popped out of Suz-san's body.
　Nope.
　Rather than jumping out, it would be more accurate to say that she was blown off.

　Tina was blown away while spinning around........
　With a squeak, he brakes dexterously in the air and stops.

'Tina, are you alright!
Yeah, I'll be fine.

　He seemed wobbly, but he was able to answer the questions properly, so his consciousness must be clear.
　That's good.
　Relief, but.....

　I glance at Suzu.
　Noticing my gaze, she smiles at me.
　.........So the biggest threat has been removed, doesn't it?

I'm sorry........we tried to do our best, but we failed.......
What ... why?　No matter how much your mother can resist a ghost...
It can be done, can't it?

　Suz says with a smile.

'I told you.　He said, "I won't leave the cat spirit race's weaknesses intact. We're also very well-prepared against ghosts.
Oh, I don't...
''Although, Tina-san's power is quite strong, and it took me a little while to counteract the possession...''
Huh.
'Was that the trump card?　If that's the case, then we've missed our chance to win. I should have rolled them up in a circle or taken some other action while I couldn't move.

　I don't have any words to say in return, because that's right.
　I shouldn't have been proud that if it was a possession, it would be fine.
　My opponent is Suzu, the strongest of the strongest.
　I should have packed it in more thoroughly.

''Well, what do we do now?　Lose your trump card and you still want to carry on?
Of course.

　Everyone is no match for the bunch.
　Tina's possession has also been rebuffed.

　Still, there's no choice but to surrender.
　If I retreat here, Kanade will be gone.
　I can't admit that much.

　Nevertheless, what to do........
　We have to beat Suz somehow.
　What's the best way to do that?
　Whatever.
　The action we need to take here to beat Mr. Tin....

....

　One thought.
　I estimate the probability of success in my head.
　........Maybe even 5% would be good.

　But even if I continue to bump into him in the dark, the odds of winning are zero.
　In that case, I'd like to bet on the one with a higher chance.
　It's like a suicide attack that's as good as a self-destruct, so I can only use it once.
　We have to be cautious ... and yet we have to be bold.

'Kanade, lend me your strength on cue. I'll use Kamui.
Yeah.
Everyone else, cover and distraction.
Yes, sir.

　Everyone nodded, including Tania.

'Let's go!'

　On cue, I ran.

'You have plenty of spunk. But I'll show you that it's not enough to help you.

　Mr. Suzu greeted us with a smile and a smile of comfort.

"Don't eat this, either!
"'Dragoon Howling!

　Tania releases a series of fireballs.
　In response, Sora and Luna release their magic.

　The two attacks overlap and turn into a storm of explosive fire that hits Suzu-san.
　However, Suzu didn't flee, but cut through the storm of explosions with her fist pressure.
　As usual, that was an incredible physical ability.
　I've never heard of a single fist being used to repel the attacks of the dragon race and spirit race.

　But it did its job of blocking my vision.

　I approach Suzu's vision while the explosive flames are blocking her vision.
　He ran alongside Kanade and attacked from both sides.

''It's sweet.''

　In a move that seemed to have eyes on the flanks, Suzu received the attacks of me and Kanade with precision.
　Although we continued to move into random strikes, none of them reached an effective strike.

''Then it's time for a counterattack........?

　Suz's movements slowed for a moment.

　When I looked, I saw that Tina was holding up her hand.
　She must be controlling her opponent's body with the application of possession.

　However, it doesn't last long.
　Soon the bindings will be broken and Suzu will be free.

''Yes!''

　This time, Nina jumped out of the way.
　She moved directly above Suzu in the transition.
　As it was, she used her whole body to hit him.

　Although there was no damage, Suzu-san's movements slowed down again, apparently surprised by Nina's bold action.
　In the meantime, Nina made the transition again and escaped into the distance.

''Boost!''

　This is where I used my ability-enhancing magic.
　That's me.

　I've already used it once.
　I used a layer on top of it.

　A layer of ability-enhancing magic.
　That's the new trump card I came up with.

Huh.........?

　For a moment, my vision blurs.
　It's a distorted sensation, as if a living thing is lurking inside your body.
　My body feels like it's going to pop, but I force myself to suppress it...
　You own the power that flows vigorously from deep within.

''Ooohhhh!
Huh?

　With the double-enhanced power, he looked at Suzu-san with a random strike.
　Here, for the first time, I can see the color of impatience on Suzu-san's face.
　He doesn't seem to be able to keep up with my attacks, and a few, clean hits are made.

　It's getting through!
　Then......

BOOST!!!!

　Triple use.
　With his abilities further enhanced, he pulled out the camouflage behind his waist.

''Kanade!''
Yeah!

　Reach out and....
　Kanade gripped my hand firmly.

　Kamui's sword blade glowed like no other.

''Now........how about this.......aaaaah!

　He swung the full force of the blow.
