......

After this bizarre guardianship alliance was formed.

The two of them walked quickly, taking turns watching over Peanut in the cramped and oppressive back corridor.

Thanks to their excellent teamwork, they managed to get through a fairly long distance without any major incidents.

However, due to the complete malfunction of the X-GUN radar in Asahina Nazuna's possession, the two could only grope in the dark like blind men touching an elephant.

Using the compass and map recording functions that the black ball equipment still retains, one can determine whether the passage one is walking through is a dead end.

As for pinpointing the location of an enemy lurking in the shadows, that's naturally wishful thinking.

Therefore, relying on their greatly enhanced hearing after becoming vampires, they could only keep running towards blind spots where there were no unusual sounds.

I was on edge the whole time and didn't dare to look back.

We walked along in this state of anxiety for a while.

The surrounding scenery began to distort and fold.

This change was not gradual, but rather like passing through an invisible membrane.

From the cramped corridor of the abandoned factory, we were instantly transported to a vast and boundless wheat field!

But before the two could ponder what had happened, this vast landscape that had suddenly changed as if from a dream to reality.

They felt the solid ground beneath their feet suddenly give way!

"ah--!"

Fujiwara Chika instinctively gasped, closing her eyes in response to the sudden feeling of weightlessness.

Asahina Nazuna, who was responsible for carrying the peanuts, was also startled by the sudden loss of footing and staggered.

His gaze drifted downwards, inevitably shifting away from Little Peanut.

It was this momentary mistake.

Fujiwara Chika's scream abruptly stopped in mid-air.

It's like a duck whose throat has been choked.

Because, the moment Peanut broke free of the gaze lock, he instantly teleported behind the falling Fujiwara Chika.

The rough stone arm twisted mercilessly, snapping her neck in two.

When Peanut planned to do the same thing to Fujiwara Chika as he had done to Asahina Nazuna, Peanut...

Having forcibly twisted her waist in mid-air to adjust her posture and fall back onto the snow, Asahina Nazuna finally remembered the existence of Peanut, the harbinger of death, when she was on the verge of life and death.

She immediately turned her head without hesitation, her gaze refocusing on Little Peanut, who was raising his arm.

"Phew...that was close."

Meanwhile, Fujiwara Chika took advantage of the time when Peanut was once again "controlled" by Asahina Nazuna's gaze to painstakingly repair her injuries with the tenacious vitality of her vampire bloodline.

"Ouch...it hurts...it hurts so much..."

Fujiwara Chika gasped for breath, her eyes brimming with tears, but as she recovered, she quickly realized something was wrong.

"Senior... my recovery speed... is so slow."

Logically speaking, given the vampire's powerful self-healing ability...

Unless it's like what happened with Neko-Woman, where a high-intensity Nen attack instantly obliterates the head, a normal neck injury can heal quickly.

But the reality is...

Not only was the injury on Fujiwara Chika's neck healing abnormally slow, but it was also crawling like a tortoise.

Even the unharmed Asahina Nazuna began to feel a burning sensation, as if corroded by sulfuric acid, after coming into contact with her surroundings.

At first, Fujiwara Chika thought it was because she had been too badly injured and had damaged her very essence.

But when he saw that even on Asahina Nazuna's fair skin, something resembling a rash was beginning to appear visibly, he noticed...

That's when things became unusual.

While keeping her eyes fixed on the little peanut a few meters away, Fujiwara Chika took over Asahina Nazuna's observation duties and anxiously reminded her:

"Senior...it seems like the rashes on our bodies appeared after these snowflakes fell on us!"

"There's definitely something wrong with the snow here!"

Asahina Nazuna nodded slightly, then took the opportunity to turn her head and thoughtfully look around.

They are now in a desolate world completely enveloped in gray-white mist.

Countless seemingly white "snowflakes" were fluttering in the sky.

They are like the white spirits of death, dancing in the wind, scattering and covering the whole world in a silvery white.

But when Asahina Nazuna reached out and caught a snowflake that fell into her palm, she discovered the truth upon closer inspection.

These snowflakes... don't have the low temperature that ice and snow should have.

Not only did it lack the hexagonal crystalline structure of water molecules, but it also had a pungent, foul odor, similar to that of a burnt corpse.
