Before he knew it, the sun had already set in the west, and it was already night time.
It was still drizzling.
Bai Qi helped Yuri and Erika out of the library and met up with Ganpo in the parking lot.
"As expected, things have turned out like this…Anyway, let's leave this place for now. We'll think of a countermeasure as we go.”
Gan Po, who had been informed of what had happened, urged Baiqi and the others.
Things were gradually becoming more urgent. Was this behavior bold or far-sighted?
Baiqi, who had yet to decide what to do, decided to follow his advice.
"I feel like things are getting more and more troublesome…”
The domestic car drove aimlessly on the capital highway towards the port area.
Baiqi grumbled as he sat on the assistant seat.
Needless to say, Ganko was sitting in the driver's seat, while Erika and Yuri were sitting in the back seat.
"Let me make it clear to you first. I just want to quickly summarize what I have said. I don't want to put Bai Qi in a difficult situation. This matter should have been settled for the sake of the duel with Marquis Woban.”
said Erika calmly.
She was in a bad mood because Baiqi was not sitting next to her and had gone to the assistant's seat.
"I know that, but there's a slightly safer way to resist!”
Baiqi said as he changed his mood. There was nothing he could do about it now that it was over.
Try your best to think of a way to prevent the surrounding area from being affected.
"Sigh, there's no point in complaining like this. Let's consider our future plans. -- How much power did that old man have?”
"…Is it seven or eight?”
"There are also nine or more.”
Because Ganpo and Erika's answers were quite ambiguous, Bai frowned.
"Can you give me a clearer answer? Aren't there magicians who are investigating our abilities and making reports? That name seems to be…"
"It's the Greenwich Witan Council,"
Ganpo answered while holding the steering wheel.
"However, that gang's activities only began in the latter half of the 19th century. Therefore, there was no information about people like Marquis Worban who had been Campione for a long time. Therefore, the information about the 'kings' after the 20th century, such as Savatore Tony and Black Prince Areck, was more detailed.”
"Tibie is Marquis Wauban's information. Even the god he defeated in the beginning is unknown. Some said that it was a god related to wolves, probably a god with earth attributes.”
With Erika's explanation, Baiqi remembered the information he had received over the phone.
"If that's the case, Tony also has all kinds of powers. He doesn't have any veins at all, and it feels like his powers are completely ununified.”
Baiqi frankly expressed his thoughts.
Halfway through their explanation, the two of them fell silent and turned to Bai Qi as if they had something to say.
"What, what's wrong?"
"No…since you put it that way, then it's fine.”
"I think Veleslana's incarnations have messy abilities too.”
Indeed, there was nothing to compare, so Baiqi did not comment too much.
"Then, then, let's go back to the topic just now and decide on our future course of action. If we can't avoid the confrontation with that old man, I think we should at least go to a place where there are fewer casualties.”
"I see. If helping Yuri-san was the main priority, then there was no other way!”
Ganpo said as he looked in the direction they were heading.
The raindrops hitting the car window became heavier, and the rain had become quite heavy.
" It's just that handing Yuri over as a sacrifice is also an option. Personally, I think it's a sad choice, but if the public interest is the priority, this is the best choice.”
"Please don't say such stupid things in front of me. It's impossible for him to choose such a method.”
Baiqi immediately replied.
Although the young man looked frivolous, he unexpectedly said some cruel things.
"But if we do this, Marquis Woban will be satisfied and leave Tokyo immediately. There won't be any extra victims.”
"I understand your reason. However, I object!"
The person who objected to Baiqi, who did not have the energy to argue, was not the person who proposed it.
"Mr. Grass Naga, Mr. Ganko's opinion is correct.”
Yori, who had been silent up until now, finally spoke.
She had been lowering her head gloomily, but she suddenly raised her head and interrupted the conversation.
"If you don't hand me over, the battle between Mr. Grass and the Marquis will cause a serious tragedy in Tokyo. Did you know? The city was destroyed by the storm summoned by the marquis, and there were legends of the wolves that were released and ravaged the village.”
With determination, Yuri said in a cold voice.
She was no longer afraid and only spoke quietly with a sad expression.
"The Marquis is only obsessed with me. Fortunately, the marquis only wanted me to help him complete the ritual. He probably wouldn't do anything to make things difficult for me. It would definitely be fine.”
Yuri smiled as if she wanted to reassure the others.
Bai Qi sighed softly. He looked strong, but his smile was illusory. She had a hard time with sports and machinery, and it was not easy for her to perform that kind of acting.
"If that's the case, will it be dangerous?”
" Four years ago, there were about thirty witches who attended the summoning ceremony of the God of Disobedience organized by the marquis. After the ritual, about two-thirds of the people suffered from major mental disorders. Most of the witches went crazy because of this and could not stay awake.”
Hearing her smooth answer, Baiqi made up his mind.
- Alright, let's do it.
In the battle with Athena, Yuri helped her with her own strength despite her own danger, taking on a dangerous role that no one else could take in order to defeat the goddess from Tokyo.
Baiqi owed Ten Thousand Miles Valley Youli a huge favor.
"That ritual is very famous. With that level of sacrifice, you can summon the God of Disobedience. To be honest, I was surprised when I heard that Yuri had participated in the ritual. I thought that she was safe because she had superior aptitude among a large number of witches. However, it would not be optimistic if she could do that again next time.”
"Then no, no. Ten Thousand Mile Valley's suggestion was unacceptable.”
Bai Qi said quietly, feeling his fighting spirit being ignited.
Campione-Just because he is the " king ", he can do whatever he wants? Don't joke around. He gradually has the heart to resist against Wauban's violent behavior.
It was absolutely unacceptable for the young girl to encounter such a dangerous thing because of that old man.
"Then, Ten Thousand Mile Valley, did you seriously consider before deciding to follow that old grandpa? Had he really considered it from the bottom of his heart?”
"... I've seriously considered it."
Yuri answered briefly, but still lowered her head.
Bai Qi turned around and looked at her face.
"You're lying. This is a white lie from the Ten Thousand Miles Valley.”
"There's no such thing. I've thought about it carefully.”
"Anyway, just like Athena back then, you think that it's fine as long as you become a sacrifice, right? At that time, I decided that if something like that happened again, the Ten Thousand Mile Valley would definitely sacrifice themselves--I absolutely didn't want that kind of thing.”
His body started to heat up.
Campione's body could easily enter its peak condition when in danger. This strength was Bai Qi's motivation to fight.
"If you fight with the marquis, a cruel disaster will happen again. Please calm down!”
"I'm very calm. It's okay. Even if it was a terrifying Campione, he was not a god and could not create a dark world like Athena. He should be able to think of a way to deal with it.”
"But, in that case, you will…Please think about yourself.”
Yuri lowered her shoulders and toot weakly.
"If, if anything happens to you-no, if you fight the marquis, it will happen. If I kill him, I…”
His voice was no longer a sound, and his words were no longer words.
Yuri lowered her head completely, her shoulders trembling. Tears flowed down her face, wetting her kimono dress.
This strong girl was crying.
Yuri, who had ignored herself and faced Athena alone, was crying. It was most likely because Baiqi was willing to risk his life for him.
If it was just her own matter, Yuri would definitely hold back her tears.
Because of this, Baiqi made up his mind. He had to protect this girl, Yuri Ten-Thousand Miles Valley. He had to stop that old man's willful behavior no matter what!
"Yuri, just give up. This is the ruling of the 'King'. I won't listen to anything you say. Don't forget, this person is the 'king'. He is a very willful and violent person.”
In stark contrast to Maiden Yuan who was crying, Elektra was very calm.
He asked with a calm smile.
" Of course, the Marquis you requested is also the king. It's your freedom to choose which side you want. What should he do? Marquis or Baiqi, which side do you choose?”
" But, it's impossible for you to defeat the Marquis. Although you're both Campiones, the strength and number of powers are more advantageous to the Marquis. You're too optimistic!"
Yuri raised her tear-stained face and scolded.
However, Bai Qi's determination did not change. Erika just shrugged.
"What should we do, my lord?"
"If we are talking about whether we can win, I, Valeslana, should not have been able to defeat Athena with my power.”
Bai Qi turned around and faced Gan Po, who was sitting in the driver's seat.
"That's it. I'll handle the Myriad Miles Valley. I definitely won't hand her over to that old man. Then, please go to a place with fewer people. Compared to having a martial arts scene here, it would only increase the trouble!”
"I know. Being kidnapped by two Campiones in a row, Yuri-san was really a big shot!”
"Ah, Mr. Ganpo, what are you talking about?”
Yuri scolded the schadenfreude.
However, the agent continued to steer the steering wheel nonchalantly.
"But unfortunately, I am a member of the Official History Committee. As a related person in this industry, he couldn't go against the Demon King's wishes.……It was like escaping with a stolen bicycle. It was as exciting as guilt!”
"You're always so rash and careless!”
Yuri finally got angry. The sadness and tears from before were all thrown aside.
Bai Qi looked at her and nodded.
After everything was over, he would probably be lectured again, just like the Athena incident. But it didn't matter. It was ten thousand times better than this girl being taken to a faraway place that he couldn't see.
By chance, their eyes met.
His companion silently made a face, as if to say that he had no objections at all.
"I might cause you trouble again.”
"Don't worry about it. Didn't I say it before? Since I've already offered you my 'sword', I already have the awareness to encounter this kind of situation. Besides, the matters of the old 'king's' era are not something you alone can understand. I'll tell you later.”
After saying that, she turned her mocking eyes to the young man in the driver's seat.
"Well, I think"
"Don't make it sound like I'm up to something.”
Just as he continued speaking, there was a rumble of thunder.
The location of the lightning seemed to be quite close. Looking out of the window, the night sky was filled with thick dark clouds, and the rain was gradually getting heavier.
"…In that case, thirty minutes have passed.”
Ganpo glanced at his watch, and a gray shadow immediately appeared.
running
In the intense thunderstorm, groups of gray shadows were running.
Shadows-no, if one looked carefully, they would be able to see that they were wolves. There were about 30 to 40 of them.
