Tokyo Metropolitan Government, Taito Ward, Senshu 3-chome.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, this neighborhood is located on the edge of Taito District and cannot be directly reached by the subway. At this time, there are still many pedestrians in a hurry and with strange expressions.

Perhaps it was luck, or perhaps it was a matter of geographical location. Since the "Three Arrays of Tokyo Metropolis" opened in time on the night of the Obon Festival, the area damaged by the "Obon Tornado Disaster" just stopped in front of Sensoji Temple. The area north of Sensoji Temple was spared.

"Boom boom boom... babble..."

Amid the harsh exhaust sound, a black heavy locomotive slid onto the sidewalk beside the intersection with a sudden lateral brake.

"Boy, the blasting of exhaust air at Zhujihui's site at night has frightened the guests who were taking a bath, can you afford it?"

Across the road, in several dimly lit shops, several men walked out after hearing the sound, and shouted at the rider in the car with a skilled tongue.

The crumpled suit, the big gold chain at the neckline so low that the pectoralis major muscles are exposed, the faintly visible tattoos on the arms...

He was about to write the word "brother" on his face.

"Hum hum... Ride my beloved little motorcycle..."

The blond young man in sportswear, carrying a bucket bag, and pushing the motorcycle into the parking space on the side seemed to be in a good mood.

"Well, sorry, sorry, I'll park the car and make sure it's quiet."

He hummed a little tune and apologized without looking back.

"Hey, little brother, we have an important program filming right now. You just made that kind of decibel noise, but you can't make up for it if you park the car."

Hearing the insincere tone of the other party, the men who were already fiery immediately surrounded him.

"Recently, this street is getting more and more unlucky because of people like you..."

"That's right, I think you can barely sell your broken car for a few dollars. Why don't you use it as a gift?"

When they saw the ferocious heavy-duty locomotive, they were slightly taken aback, and then their eyes lit up.

"I'm sorry, although this car is not very good-tempered, and it also consumes fuel..."

After parking the car and taking off the helmet, the strong blond young man turned his head and looked at the few people surrounding him with a firm expression.

"However, it is a partner worthy of my life and death, and must never be given to you."

At this moment, several men noticed that this tough-faced blond youth had a six-pointed star flower knife engraved on his temples, and a one-eye patch on his face...

Even though he was only wearing ordinary sportswear, he exuded a strong criminal aura.

At first glance, it is a "common man".

"Boy, the face is very raw, what kind of 'branch' are you?!"

Stared at by his fierce eyes, a few extreme men were a little flustered for some reason.

"Branch" means the twigs of the big tree, alluding to the small organizations under the subordinate organizations that work for the large-scale polar organizations, and are generally responsible for maintaining the order of the operation site and attracting business.

In short, it is the "downline of the downline", the existence at the bottom of the extreme food chain.

"It's so late, carrying such a big bag, do you want to secretly 'sell'?"

"That's right, it must be opened and checked!"

It seemed that he was a little irritable that several of his people were shocked by one person, and the man in the lead grabbed the bucket bag on the other side's waist.

"Hey, the baby in here is very thick, big and hard enough, if you are sure to see it..."

The blond youth showed an ambiguous expression, turned his head to the side of the alley, and walked in first.

"Hmph, pretending to be a ghost, you'd better get me a gun from inside..."

Several men looked at each other and followed in with a grin.

"Hey, let you see and see, this uncle's..."

Walking into the alley, the blond young man turned sharply, frowned skillfully, revealed devilish teeth, and reached out to untie the belt around his waist...

"Aha!"

"Ooh!"

"uh-huh!"

"Ok? ! 』

Before he could make the next move, several men fell to the ground in ecstasy groans.

"you are late."

At the entrance of the dark alley, a cold male voice said.

"Boom."

"Sorry, no one can beat this guy before me."

While righteously accusing the other party of not being punctual, the man who appeared at the entrance of the alley at an unknown time calmly pulled the thick and long knife handle from a man's lower body.

"You are……"

Looking at the tall figure in a kimono, with a pair of knives on his waist, and a flying ponytail under the backlight of the alley, the blond young man narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a familiar headache coming.

"The storm has not yet erupted, the dust haze is endless, and you should walk with your back to your heart."

At the entrance of the alley, the man held the handle of the knife in his hand, leaned his waist and sang words of unknown meaning in a low and slow tone.

"Since you asked in good faith, I will tell you with great compassion that at the lower level [II] scavenger, Tachibana..."

"Abe Temple?!"

"In the evening, the time-wasting appearance of chanting haiku under the moon should be avoided. 』

The blond youth called out the other party's name and interrupted the unfinished "chanting".

"Songsuke Araki, not only was he late, but he also disturbed other people's self-introduction without authorization. Do you know how rude this is?"

The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, these two people standing in the dark alley, with the men in the background of disheveled and unconscious men...

It was Sousuke Araki, the apprentice slayer, and his "spirit guide" tonight, Abe Temple.

"Tsk, I didn't expect that my partner tonight is you... yawn..."

"I originally thought that Yuu Tori would go on a school trip to Hokkaido, and the association would assign me a young, beautiful, and unbelievably beautiful female spirit slayer..."

Looking at Abe Temple with fierce fighting spirit in his eyes, Sousuke Araki's face was helpless.

That's right~lightnovelpub.net~ On the day he went to Hinamisawa Village to do some "finishing work", Yumayumi Kotori, a high school girl, had already embarked on a school trip to Hokkaido.

After the start of the second semester of senior three, most high schools will focus on arranging study trips between September and October to adjust their mentality, relax their spirits, leave the last good memories of high school life, and do their best for the subsequent college exams. preparation.

"Correct, it's not a partner, it's a guide... Although you don't know the content of the quest yet, are you afraid of losing to me in tonight's exorcism test?"

Seeing Sousuke Araki's listless appearance, Abe Temple sneered.

"Wait, the word 'competition' is superfluous at all, do you have any misunderstanding about tonight's mission? ! 』

"Hey, I don't need to explain, although I lost to you twice in the swordsmanship, but it's unpredictable and unpredictable, it can't be solved by strong strength! Moreover, after these months of hard practice, I'm not what I used to be. it's me..."

"By the way, I managed to get a ticket for "Junko Kato Fan Appreciation Festival ~ On-site Special Event ~ White Turbid Baptism Feedback" using my contacts, and I was able to exchange this opportunity from Yamada-kun. 』
