If it was just a few months ago, Higashino Yukihira and Shirazu Reiko would not have believed that the British man in front of him, who looked to be in his thirties, was already far older than the two of them combined.

But now, in the face of the "extraordinary world" unfolding in front of their eyes, the two are relieved about this problem.

Maybe a hundred years from now, Higashino Yukihira will calmly say to others, "I think about the time when I kicked 14 eggs in Kabukicho Ichiban Street in the last century".

"Don't worry, with the genetic sequence and body memory left in Miss Baishui's ashes, the new body will be restored one by one according to her previous appearance."

During the period of Shado Nord's broken thoughts, the humanoid blood mass in the center of the burrow has condensed bones, blood vessels, muscles and other human tissues at a speed visible to the naked eye...

"Miss Baishui, in order to better improve your connection with this body, please try to lie in now..."

Sado Nord waved his hand slightly, and the body that had just condensed a complete skeleton lay down on its own in the metal coffin that was originally used as Awad's phylactery.

"orr\'elloigk\'yarnak!"

In Shado Nord's spell, Reiko Baishui obediently lay down into the metal coffin, overlapping with the body that was condensing.

"Okay, next, what we have to do is to wait patiently..."

After the coffin was closed, Shadonald sat leisurely in the sand pile beside him, and read the Necronomicon in his hand with relish.

It looks like a chef who puts marinated barbecue in the oven and waits for a few hours to bake it.

...

Five hours later, Higashino Yukihira carefully pushed open the coffin lid.

"Lizi!"

Inside the metal coffin, lay a beautiful woman with jade-white skin, long black hair reaching her waist, and a bumpy figure.

The delicate face under the long hair was exactly the Lizi Baishui that he thought about day and night.

"Xingping..."

With the help of Yukihira Higashino, who was full of excitement, Shirayui Reiko sat up slowly from the coffin with some difficulty.

"how are you feeling?!"

He carefully checked the other person back and forth, until after confirming that there was nothing abnormal in his breathing, heartbeat, and appearance, Higashino Yukihira shivered and took a robe and put it on for her.

"I think the body is a little weird."

Sitting in the coffin, Baishui Lizi didn't seem to regain her senses, she rolled her eyes with a dull expression, and raised her hands in front of her somewhat incredulously.

"It's like, diving into the water, your whole body is so heavy..."

"If it feels heavy, it may be that you have recently adapted to the relationship of the spirit state."

Chateau Nord, who was lying in the sand reading a book, also watched Reiko Shirasuzu's reaction with concern.

"Lizi?!"

Suddenly, amid Higashino Yukihira's exclamations, Shirayui Reiko pinched her face hard.

"you……"

"Look... even this, although I feel it, it doesn't hurt at all?!"

Due to the excessive force, a bloodstain appeared on her originally greasy cheek.

"It feels, weird, like I'm living in someone else's body..."

"It's like wearing a diving suit in the deep sea, obviously feeling, but very slow and numb."

In just a second, the blood stains on her cheeks subsided at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Xia Duo, what's the situation?!"

Seeing Reiko's confused look, Higashino Yukihira eagerly turned his head to look at Chardonald.

Even the gravel on the top of the cave was shaken by his voice and kept falling.

"Ahem, Miss Baishui's current situation is much better than I expected."

"I thought it would take a while to control the body, but this should be due to the precious blood of Asamet..."

Shardonold scratched the back of his head, flipping through the Necronomicon in his hand, pacing back and forth in the cave.

"Well, don't worry, let me read the 'instruction manual', after all, it's the first time I've used this kind of spell..."

"The body made with Miss Baishui's ashes, plus the blood of the vampires, and the "body reconstruction technique" should have some of the attributes of a 'vampire' and be stronger than a normal person's physique..."

"The healing speed of the wound just now has already demonstrated this very well. 』

He scratched his head in annoyance, rubbed his chin and thought.

"By the way, if there is no problem with the body, it should be the soul!"

Suddenly, Shadonald closed the Necronomicon in his hand with a snap, as if he had figured out something.

"Although this body is remodeled according to Miss Baishui's original genes, her soul is currently being used by me to use a compound technique of 'Resurrection of the Dead' and 'Soul Aggregation', in a form similar to 'possession' and The bodies are linked together."

"It's like putting together a broken thing with glue will leave marks, her current state is naturally not comparable to that of a baby born in the mother's womb."

"Vampires? Possession? Piece?"

As soon as the words fell, Higashino Yukihira suddenly appeared in front of Shado Nord, staring at him calmly and firmly: "What I want is to resurrect Reiko as a human, not a monster like me!"

"Hey, Higashino-kun, you have to eat one bite at a time... The 'equivalent exchange' between us is to 'resurrection' Miss Baishui, not to '100% restore' Miss Baishui who has been turned into ashes."

Facing the furious Higashino Yukihira, Chardonald didn't care and looked at him calmly.

"If you want to get something, you have to pay the same price. Relying on a broken book to revive people who have been turned into ashes, I am afraid that even your so-called gods in Japan can't do it."

"Anyway, in her current state, it's better than if she continues to stay in the simple container on your chest and 'go to jail' and come out to 'release' for an hour every day?"

"You're right……"

Listening to Chardonald's words, Higashino Yukihira's face gradually became lost.

"Sorry, I'm being rude."

The other party is right, that his expectations are too high, and his concern is chaos.

A few months ago, Lizi was able to reappear in front of him, something he didn't even dare to think about.

Moreover, even in the massive "blood memory" he inherited from Asamet's last sleeping place, he never mentioned the taboo topic of "resurrection from the dead".

"Xinping, I'm fine..."

Behind him, Lizi Baishui, who was wrapped in a wide robe, stumbled up from the coffin and leaned on his back.

"I'm very satisfied to be able to hold you like this again."

"Well, although this can only be done for the time being, if there is a way to repair the 'bond' between the soul and the body in one step, Miss Baishui should be able to recover to be like ordinary people..."

"It should belong to it now, it's just a 'close to the door' situation."

Shadonald's next words made the two seem to see even greater hope.

"Mr. Shado, if there is a way, please tell me!"

Higashino Yukihira slammed his forehead on the ground and assumed a standard sitting posture.

"Hey, didn't I tell you to stop using honorifics... For the sake of my interest in continuing this 'project', I'll trade with you again."

Chardonald stretched out his hand to Yukira Higashino: "As with the previous rules, I will only provide you with 'necessary' information, and the rest will require you to find a way after returning to Japan..."

"Wait, back to... Japan?!"

Hearing this word, Higashino Yukihira and Reiko looked at each other, and both saw extremely complicated expressions on each other's faces.

Nostalgia, excitement, fear, confusion...

"Why, the two of you think that the climate in the Middle East is pleasant and the folk customs are simple, do you want to settle here?"

"Of course not, but we...really, can we go back?"

The two of them couldn't help but feel uneasy. After all, in terms of identity, they were already two "dead people" with property rights to the cemetery.

"It is naturally impossible to go back as 'Higashino Yukihira' and 'Shirasui Reiko'..."

Chardonald narrowed his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

"However, with just a little help from an 'acquaintance' on my network, I can get you two new identities, and even live a prosperous life is not a problem."

"As long as that guy has a brain, everything from kindergarten health care files to college finals will appear seamlessly in your new file. 』

"Please tell me directly, what do I need to do when I return to Japan?"

Without any retreat and unwilling to beat around the bush, Higashino Yukihira asked the question simply and directly.

"According to my information, there is a legendary thing in Japan. It is said that it can completely repair the soul and body, and may solve the current situation of Miss Baishui."

"And what you have to do, as before, is to find that thing and get it."

Saying it as simply as going to the convenience store downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes, Chateau Nord stretched out his hand to Yukihira Higashino.

"How about it, after the 'transaction' ends, if you want to use your new identities to continue living in Japan or go to other places, it has nothing to do with me."

"no problem."

Higashino Yukihira raised his head and held the opponent's hand without hesitation.

"So, what is the price of this 'transaction'?"

In the last "transaction", the other party just said, "Find Avad and get the book that records the 'resurrection from the dead' technique."

As a result, it was he who ran for more than two months between several "city of the dead" filled with living corpses, and finally found the necromancer who was more cunning than a mouse.

However, Reiko fully recovered, returned to Japan, and started life again...

All of this is really important to Higashino Kohei.

He can pay any price for it.

"Then, the transaction is established! As for the price, I haven't thought about it yet. I'll talk about it when I go back to Japan."

Retracting his palm, Chardonald showed a playful expression.

"Speaking of which, after you left, Tokyo has been turned upside down by one after another."

He took out his tablet, clicked on a few documents and handed it to the other party.

"The gates of **** opened, Taito District was destroyed, and so many people died?!"

Looking at the tablet computer, most of the Taito District turned into ruins, Higashino Yukihira's already pale complexion became even more bleak.

"Such a big thing happened in Tokyo, Sousuke and Ryoma, are you all right?!"

Thinking of Sosuke Araki and Ryoma Erzae who were chasing him at the Minami Honmoku Wharf on that rainy night, Yukihira Higashino bit his lower lip and asked word by word.

"Then don't worry, Dongye-kun, your two friends can eat, sleep and work, and live well."

"I knew that the lives of these two guys were tough enough, and it wouldn't be that easy..."

Hearing that the two of them were okay, Higashino Yukihira breathed a sigh of relief.

"Not only is it okay, the two of them also awakened the 'inspiration' after the night of the Obon Festival, and they are currently ruthless characters active in the 'first line of removing spirits'."

"Hey, these two guys actually have this kind of talent?"

In these days in the Middle East, Higashino Kohei is also on the periphery of the city of the dead. He has seen soldiers and religious figures in peacekeeping missions who are responsible for expelling living corpses from a distance. Naturally, he has feelings for the "official institutions" and "spirits" who deal with such incidents. basic concept.

I heard that Sosuke Araki, who was full of muscles, and Ryoma, who was interested in seeing the color, also kicked the door of "extraordinary", Higashino Kohei was both proud and worried about them.

After all, this is a road of no return that is thousands of times more dangerous than the extreme road.

"Especially the one Araki-kun, who is said to be terrifyingly talented in removing spirits, and seems to have worshipped the famous Buddhist temple Kawasaki Daishi Temple..."

"Impossible, Sousuke, the virgin of ten thousand years, will not become a monk even if he is killed!"

"That's right, the last time someone just cut off the nose of the plane, I was depressed with tears for a long time. If I shave my head..."

The image of Sousuke Araki shaved, wearing a monk's robe, and sitting in front of the Buddha appeared in his mind, Higashino Yukihira and Reiko couldn't help but smile at each other.

"Not only that, even a secret religious organization in Tokyo sees him as a thorn in the eye."

"Oh? Who wants that idiot's life..."

Yukio Higashino's eyes narrowed because he heard the news of his friend, and then a bloodthirsty light flashed.

"Sorry, this information can't be included in our 'transaction', it can only be understood by yourself, Higashino-kun."

"After all, there is some other important information involved that I can't disclose. 』

Chardonald spread his hands helplessly.

"The only thing I can say is that this organization is inextricably linked with the group of guys you dealt with at the Nanbenmu Wharf, Higashino-kun."

"Hey, the dead dog of Kazuo Tianto, is there a rope around his neck? It seems that there is one more reason to return to Japan..."

Recalling a name that made him hate to the bone, Higashino Yukihira's teeth stretched and suddenly became extremely sharp, and he bit his lower lip with a bloodstain without knowing it.

"Reuniting with friends is certainly something worth looking forward to and touching, but after three months of stepping into this new world, Higashino-kun should know enough about his position as a 'blood family', right?"

"what do you mean……"

Having vaguely understood the meaning of Chateau Nord's words, Higashino Kohei's face sank.

"Yin-Yang Liao, Lesson 9, Spirit Slayer Association, Disaster Prevention Mobile Team, Civil Spirit Slayer..."

"Unlike the fragmented Middle East, in peaceful Japan, there are multiple 'official institutions', 'civil organizations' and even 'illegal retail investors', who are coordinating in handling supernatural events."

"After such a big 'supernatural disaster' in Japan, if the two of them appeared in the sight of these institutions, I am afraid they would be considered 'vampires and his dependents', and they would be removed on the spot?"

"Understood, we will keep a low profile and will not implicate previous relatives and friends, please rest assured."

Reiko Baishui regained a new body and was about to return to Japan, where she was thinking day and night, Higashino Yukihira only felt that the haze that had enveloped her in the past three months was swept away~lightnovelpub.net~ There are some problems, but it's not It can be solved by being low-key. Human behaviors and choices will change drastically depending on where they stand..."

"If your two good brothers, along with those spirit removers, get in your way to resurrect Miss Lizi, what are you going to do?"

"How could such a thing happen? You are the 'Little Daisy Three Brothers' who grew up together, right?"

Hearing this question, Shirahui Reiko took the lead and hugged Higashino Yukihira's arm tightly.

"Don't worry, I've made up my mind."

Gently stroked Reiko's hair, Higashino Yukihira's eyes were full of unstoppable determination.

"I hope you are really enlightened..."

Looking at the lovers who were embracing in front of him, Chateau Nord squinted slightly and showed an inexplicable smile.

It was the same as that night, watching Higashino Yukio crying in the rain outside the Shinjuku apartment fire.
