Japanese Terrorist: What? I'll fight Hellstar!

"Huh! Really?"

Maria Amano looked surprised.

"What's wrong?"

Amamiya Rin asked in confusion.

"How many people are as beautiful as you? Unbelievable."

Maria Amano sighed sincerely, looking up at Rin Amamiya's face with longing and envy in her eyes.

Amamiya Rin remained noncommittal, but reminded Amano Maria.

"In nature, the more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is... Of course, things that are too ugly aren't very safe either."

Halfway through his sentence, Amamiya Rin thought of the female model and added another sentence.

Maria Amano, not understanding, nodded blankly.

Yu Gonglin didn't say anything more and turned to continue downstairs.

Maria Amano followed behind, and subconsciously glanced at Rin Amamiya's nape.

However, Yu Gonglin's nape, though stained with some blood, was completely unharmed, appearing delicate and smooth.

She couldn't help but recall the horrifying sight she had seen before she lost consciousness—those fleshy growths resembling human heads growing on Amamiya Rin's back.

Now it seems that I must have misread it because I was still a bit groggy after waking up.

(Lin, what are you planning to do with that old book and portrait?)

As Maria Amano observed Rin Amamiya's nape, Tomie Kawakami's thoughts flashed through Rin Amamiya's mind.

This idea came to Tomie, who had traveled to a rural winery, and Amamiya Rin immediately recognized it.

(Let's investigate first to see what the situation is. If we can handle it, we can; if not, we'll seal it off.)

Amamiya Rin answered calmly.

Although Miyuki Kawahara seems to have revealed a lot, she herself is still quite confused and knows little about Elizabeth's portraits and diaries.

However, based on Amamiya Rin's speculation, the black magic ritual recorded in this portrait and diary is probably of the same type as the black magic ritual that Azawa Yuuma used to summon the Apology Demon, which obtains special magic power by summoning Elizabeth.

You can find some free time to conduct an experiment and see what the result will be.

(I'll do it. Keep the portrait for me. I'll go back to Tokyo tomorrow and test the effect for you.)

Tomie Kawakami said immediately.

(Huh? Is he being so kind?)

Amamiya Rin raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly.

(I don't care about the experiment or not, I want to become a vampire, then burn the portrait, and become the one and only vampire, Tomie Kawakami.)

[Tomie Network] With shared thoughts, no one could hide anything from the other, and Kawakami Tomie immediately revealed her intentions.

In a remote mountain town in Nagoya, flames rose from the brewery workshop as twenty large brewing vats were ignited by a match thrown in by Tomie Kawakami, turning them into twenty giant torches.

A strange, sweet smell, mixed with the odor of burning, filled the air. The workers and the company president's family, who had lost their minds, were setting fires everywhere. Some were dragging the unconscious dockworkers and security guards away, while others were splashing the already packaged Tomie sake on the walls of the workshop.

Their eyes were glazed and clouded, their entire being surrendered to the Tomie larva inside their brains.

Tomie Kawakami stood at the gate of the brewery, leaning against the railing, arms crossed, her eyes darting around.

The flames that gradually ignited the two workshops flickered in her eyes.

(Unlike those imposters who stay in the same place, I want to keep moving forward, keep growing, and define what the real Tomie Kawakami should be like!)

I don't want to continue like this anymore.

Tomie Kawakami developed her own ambitions.

Even if you angrily denounce all the other Tomie figures as imposters, it won't change the fact that every Kawakami Tomie is exactly the same.

Since they want to make changes and gain powerful strength to eliminate their natural enemies.

So why can't we make more changes?

To distinguish oneself from the other Tomies and to include them in the collective that should be eliminated—this is a natural thought for Kawakami Tomie. However, these days have seen too many unprecedented changes, to the point that the Tomies in the [Tomie Network] cannot kill each other.

They cannot kill each other until they have the power to destroy the Apology Demon.

However, this does not mean that she cannot prepare for her future in advance.

(Hahaha! You really dare to say that, you imposter!)

(How dare this mere imposter claim to define what Kawakami Tomie is?)

(What nonsense are you talking about? Does turning into a bat monster count as growth?)

(And don't forget, we're immortal; we can't even be burned to death now.)

(Idiot, you're in Nagoya, I'm in Tokyo. Even if I burn the portrait after becoming a vampire, I'll be the first to do so.)

……

One stone stirs up a thousand waves. Every Tomie harbors the thought of eliminating all the other imposters and leaving only herself. They also know what the other is thinking—the relationship between Tomie and Tomie is far worse than the relationship between them and Amamiya Rin.

However, due to the circumstances, no one brought this idea out into the open. Now that one Tomie had a change of heart, it directly brought out the other Tomies as well.

(Hmph! Just wait and see. The body may not die, but the mind will prevail.)

Although Kawakami Tomie refuted her statement, she also revealed her true thoughts.

The only way to truly determine who wins is through one factor—their hearts.

The sacred Kara was originally a united whole, but the mutual repulsion among the Tomie clan, the different way of thinking of Amamiya Rin as a man, and his strong willpower turned the unity of the people into [Tomie Network].

However, if there were a Tomie Kawakami whose heart could surpass that of the other Tomies, then [Tomie Network] could naturally return to its original form.

Sensing Kawakami Tomie's thoughts, Tomie and the others sneered.

Tomie Kawakami's idea is correct, but no Tomie would think that her own self is inferior to that of other Tomies.

(Lin, I've taken care of the problems at the distillery for you. Leave the portrait and the old books to me.)

Kawakami Tomie could certainly understand what her kind of person was thinking. She didn't waste her energy on the others and directly made a request to Amamiya Rin.

(OK.)

Amamiya Rin did not refuse. Kawakami Tomie had done the work and contributed her efforts, and was the first to ask for the portrait and the old book. There was no reason for him to give the things to others.

The others knew Amamiya Rin's personality and didn't argue. The one who called her an idiot earlier was just talking nonsense.

Meanwhile, Amamiya Rin and Amano Maria had already walked out of the abandoned building.

At Maria Amano's request, the two exchanged phone numbers. After sending the girl away, Rin Amamiya returned his thoughts to his body.

The gym door closed behind him, and the cool evening breeze brushed against his face, clearing his mind, which had been foggy from exhaustion.

He used his cane to move forward with difficulty, walked to the jeep, opened the door, and fell inside.
