Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 51 Mission: 06-4 The Omen of Bad Omen
"Lord Echigo no Ryu—"

Apparently, as a general known as the God of War, Uesugi Kenshin's intuition was quite reliable. Just as she was shivering with an inexplicable chill, "that guy" appeared in her sight.

Without hesitation, Uesugi Kenshin jumped onto the carriage, grabbed the reins, and was about to flee. She started so fast that her instantaneous acceleration practically left an afterimage in the air.

"Wait—get out of the way!"

She had just started when she saw a few more people appear not far ahead. Uesugi Kenshin didn't have time to notice that they looked familiar, and hurriedly drove away to avoid causing a traffic accident.

But this time, Nero would not give her a chance.

Nero, well prepared, swung his accordion sword the moment Uesugi Kenshin passed by, entangled the wheels of the carriage. However, this alone was not enough to stop Uesugi Kenshin. The huge force of the accelerated carriage was too much for Nero to resist in his normal state.

So Nero drew his sword.

Light blue magic burst from her body, her eyes glowed red, and her hair turned silver. Nero, in demon form, clutched the whip sword tightly, and was pulled forward by the chariot, his feet sinking deeply into the mud.

Then Nero summoned Gilgamesh on top of it, and the flowing shock steel wrapped around her legs, extending spikes and piercing the ground, finally turning Uesugi Kenshin's chariot sideways and stopping it completely.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief, released the Yama Sword in her left hand, and ended her demonic transformation.

Akuni chased after him on horseback, and Uesugi Kenshin saw that there was no hope of escape, so he got off the chariot helplessly.

To prevent the talks from collapsing, Ritsuka quickly spoke before Okuni could: "Uesugi Kenshin? Is that Uesugi Kenshin?"

"I'm probably the only famous person with that name." She nodded and stared at Ritsuka. "...I see, you're the Master from Chaldea. I didn't expect to meet you in this way. I'm deeply sorry."

"You don't have to be so polite..."

"The Master is the Lord, and the Servant is the Subject. This level of etiquette is essential."

Nero finally had a chance to take a good look at the renowned general who had just passed through. As expected... or as expected? Sure enough, it was another woman. Her petite figure, clad in white armor, wielded a sinister halberd.

Rumors abound of this military god, who suffers from recurring abdominal pain and abstains from women despite her fondness for wine. This has led to numerous speculations that she is a woman disguised as a man. In Type-Moon's world, it would be strange for her to be a man.

Hearing Uesugi Kenshin's words, Ritsuka felt a little happier: "Then you must be willing to lend us a hand?"

"Huh?" The God of War was slightly taken aback, then replied hesitantly, "If it's to resolve this singularity, then I'll naturally be at your disposal."

"Great!"

Kenshin just smiled slightly at Ritsuka's praise, but the next words sent him to hell.

"Then please satisfy Miss Aguo's request!"

Kenshin Uesugi, known as the Dragon of Echigo and unrivaled on the battlefield, stood there in a daze, his neck turning slightly mechanically as he looked at the beautiful girl who was rushing towards him.

"Lord Echigo-no-Ryu!"

She resisted the urge to run away, looked at Ritsuka with a stiff expression, and asked, "Excuse me, Master...how does this relate to the singularity?"

Ritsuka answered her sincerely, "We need Ms. Aguo's help, and this is what is required for that help."

So Uesugi Kenshin couldn't escape. She stood there, trembling all over.

"Alright, hold yourself back." At the crucial moment, Nero intervened to save the god of war. She reached out and grabbed the back collar of the miko's uniform, forcing Aguo, who had been charging at Kenshin like a hungry tiger, to a more appropriate position. Nero looked at Aguo, who glared at her with a slightly annoyed expression, and smiled helplessly, "Isn't he quite troubled?"

Ritsuka's curiosity was piqued once again. She whispered, "Kenshin-kun...is it okay to call you that?"

"Master, you think it's fine to call me Shunshin."

"So, what did Miss Aguo do before that scared you so much?"

Kenshin Uesugi shuddered at Ritsuka's question.

"I...I don't want to recall those things."

Seeing that Uesugi Kenshin had such a serious psychological trauma, Nero's expression when looking at Aguo also became a little strange.

"Don't look at me like that." Ah Guo expressed his dissatisfaction directly, whispering, "I didn't do anything rude. I just hugged the Lord of War's arm, touched the Lord of War's horse, and said I wanted to take a nap in the Lord of War's car..."

"For someone we meet for the first time, this is already quite rude," Nero couldn't help but complain.

But Ritsuka and Okuni looked at each other and said together, "No way? This is very common."

It turns out that people cannot understand each other. There is a huge gap between people with different ideas, just like the racial divide.

Nero could only sigh and wish the God of War good things for himself.

Fortunately, after some arguing, and with Ritsuka's mediation, Uesugi Kenshin finally gave Izumo Okuni a folding fan with an inscription and signature, thus fulfilling his wish. The Singularity Capture Team successfully gained two new members.

The next step was to return to the town, introduce each other, and prepare for the next day's operation. On the sixth day after arriving at the singularity, Ritsuka, along with Georgos, Mephistopheles, Uesugi Kenshin, and Izumo Okuni, once again went to the sealed cave.

More people are leaving the town, but the number of those who remain remains the same. This is mainly due to the fact that after the seal is broken, they will face the inward exploration and the possible existence of demons. Therefore, Georgos, who excels in fighting demons, Akun, who can break the seal, and Uesugi Kenshin, who has high mobility and protective abilities and can protect Ritsuka, must all go.

Not to mention Mephisto, who had signed a bet with Ritsuka and was inseparable from his master.

Nero was still walking through the streets of Lateranci. After a dangerous plague crisis, the town's atmosphere had become even more depressing. Many people either stayed indoors or confined themselves to church to pray. To Nero, this last-minute approach was unacceptable.

Waiting until "divine punishment" comes before starting to pray for forgiveness is useless if it is not divine punishment; if it is really divine punishment, why not be more pious in daily life?
But what bothered Nero was that she hadn't seen Beatrice in a few days. This girl was clearly not one to stay at home, and she didn't know if she was grounded because of that incident.

Go back and ask.

But as he walked, Nero suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart. It was like... the feeling he had when the rats attacked that day.

But how could that be possible? The rats had already been killed by Georgos's Noble Phantasm.

Suddenly, Mashu's voice came from beside her.

"Oh no, Miss Nero!"

She said anxiously, "The seal has been broken, and all the demons in the cave rushed out at once!"

"what?!"
