Just eat a little sweets: It’s really intense. Could it be that tomorrow is Christmas in the world of “Spirit Rider”?

Emperor's Dance: Victim 1 has spoken.

Rhodes Island CEO: The dead memories are beginning to attack me!

FAFA0: Victim 2 ran onto the track.

Infinite Snake: Or... does this voice feel more familiar to you?

Sleeping Beauty of Literature: No, how come there is a perpetrator appearing?

Stars: Grandma Mobius, bad!

Miss Pink Fairy: Grandma Mobius, bad!

Infinite Snake: ...

[No words were spoken that night.]

The next day, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Chen Shi, led by Miyamoto Musashi and Himiko, went to visit the base of the heroic spirit Darwin.

According to Miyamoto Musashi's explanation, she had heard other Heroic Spirits say that Darwin was the only Heroic Spirit who did not enjoy a comfortable life after coming to this world. She seemed to have learned some inside stories of this world through contact with a certain priest, and left the City of Heroes early and lived in seclusion.

If there is any place in this singularity that is most likely to have news about other companions of Chaldea, it is undoubtedly Darwin.

The result was as expected. Just after arriving at the nearby location, Fujimaru Ritsuka and his four companions successfully reunited with Romani and others, and soon met the famous biologist.

The heroic spirit named Darwin is a gentle woman with long brown hair. Her emerald green bachelor's gown can hardly hide her slender figure. Her pretty face, full of intellectuality, has a gentle smile on it, and her sky-blue eyes sparkle with wisdom.

Just the first sight of each other made Fujimaru Ritsuka have the same strong sense of déjà vu as when he saw Miss Newton, that "the other person must be a smart person", but her gentle and friendly personality is completely different from the cold Newton.

After exchanging information, everyone had a deeper understanding of the current situation.

As an acquaintance of Kotomine Kirei, Darwin readily agreed to assist Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others, and transformed into an eye soul and flew into Fujimaru Ritsuka's arms.

As a scholar with foresight, she believes that evolution must go through the test of time and environment, and all hidden dangers must be resolved step by step without rushing.

After gathering all the strength, just as Fujimaru Ritsuka and others were preparing to set out to rescue Emiya Miyu, a few unexpected visitors triggered the early warning spell that Darwin had set up around the base.

Through the information sent back by Darwin's familiar, they discovered that the people passing by were Pepeloncino with Emiya Miyu, and Beryl was chasing closely behind them.

……

Covering his abdomen which had begun to bleed inside the armor, Peperoncino gritted his teeth and tried to use his divine feet to create distance between himself and the pursuers behind him.

But the moment the magic power flowed through the magic circuit, the familiar severe pain began to consume his injured body once again, causing a hint of scarlet to overflow from the corners of his mouth under the mask.

“It’s like this again.”

The operation of the Shenzukutong was forcibly stopped. This situation suddenly occurred in the middle of the battle before Peperoncino, forcing him to retreat from the Holy Mountain with Emiya Miyu.

Glancing at the pursuers behind him from the corner of his eye, Pepeloncino quickly understood what was happening to his body after the initial shock.

This is one of Beryl Garth's most skilled methods, a spell that can weaken the opponent's curse.

——But when did I get infected?

As early as when he noticed that there was a traitor among the members of Group A, Peperoncino had been extremely wary of Beryl. After all, if he really betrayed him, this man's spell would undoubtedly be the most threatening of all the members of Group A.

Beryl should not have had the chance to curse Peperoncino, who was well prepared, but the current situation proved that he was still fooled by this guy.

——When exactly is it?

During the thinking time, Beryl, who was chasing closely from behind, finally caught Peperoncino's weakness. The purple version of the Eye Gun Catcher fired continuously and hit the latter's ankle.

With a cry of pain, Pepeloncino lost his balance and rolled forward. Realizing his mistake, he immediately hugged Emiya Miyu tightly in his arms, and used his own body to withstand the impact of the high-speed fall, and hit a tree.

"Cough cough!"

"Um, are you okay, sir?"

Seeing Pepeloncino coughing in pain, Emiya Miyu couldn't bear it and couldn't help but try to help him up out of worry.

However, this action was met with a shout from Beryl who came from behind.

"Hello? Young lady, this person is in the same group as the one who kidnapped you. From a standpoint, I am the one who came to rescue you~"

"help me?"

Emiya Miyu looked back at the man who was carrying the Eye Gun Catcher on his shoulders and shrank her neck in fear.

Even though the man spoke in a very friendly tone, by now his murderous intent had already been exposed.

"You just attacked me without caring about my life or death. On the contrary, this big brother has the will to protect me!"

"Oh, you see? Well, that's right. After all, for me, it's better for you to die. On the other hand, Kirshtalia and the others need you alive."

"bump!"

As he spoke, Beryl pointed his gun at Emiya Miyu without any martial ethics.

Fortunately, Pepeloncino was quick-witted and took off the ring blade behind him and blocked it in front of Emiya Miyu, blocking the attack.

"Beryl, when did you cast the curse on us?"

Trying hard to suppress the urge to cough up blood, Peperoncino asked angrily.

"When?"

Beryl was slightly stunned, and touched his chin, pretending to think.

"Hmm... yesterday? Eh? It seemed like the day before yesterday? No, no... could it be a month ago? Phew!"

As if he could no longer pretend, Beryl held his stomach and laughed heartily.

"Oh! Now I remember, it seemed to be the day we were rescued by Kirshtalia~ Sorry, it's been too long, and it's a bit difficult for me to recall~"】

On the other side of Gensokyo.

The green-haired loli, wearing the crown of Hades and holding a stick of repentance, stopped judging the dead for a rare moment and glanced at the large screen floating above the Hall of Right and Wrong with some displeasure.

"It's been a long time since I've seen a human with such pure black. Beryl, you should be thankful that you don't exist in my world, otherwise I would have personally sent you to the eighteenth level of hell.

Well, I remember that I met a colleague named Red Enma in that world when we were chatting before. Er, that's not right. Since it's a foreign soul, it should be under the jurisdiction of Miss Ereshkigal?

Alas, the underworld system in that world is too chaotic and too casual, and it is not conducive to management at all."

Thinking of her surprised expression when she heard that Ereshkigal from another world actually managed such a huge underworld by himself, Shiki Eiji's mood, which was already unhappy because of seeing dirty things, became even worse.

"Um, Lord Yan Mo, may I ask what is my verdict?"

"Well, go to the eighteenth level of hell."

"well!?"

The wails of evil spirits echoed throughout the Hall of Right and Wrong.

Of course, the fair and selfless Shiki Eiji did not actually vent her anger on this evil spirit who had committed many evil deeds in his lifetime, but this evil man did not think so.

Just like that, Beryl-kun had one more person who hated him in another world.

Congratulations, congratulations.

……

"Crack!"

Beryl's smug performance in the video made the usually calm Ophelia lose control and smash the cup in her hand. She regretted that she was not too lenient when she killed Beryl in reality.

According to Beryl, this guy actually started preparing to backstab all members of Group A immediately after Kirshtalia saved him.

How despicable does a person have to be to make such a choice?

Such a low limit was beyond Ophelia's cognition. Ophelia, who also knew the price the two Kirshtalia paid to save them, felt sorry and heartbroken for the captain.

【"What?"

Peperoncino, who also realized this, showed an incredible expression and widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Why? Why did you do this? What kind of benefit did the Magic King give you?"

"Benefits? Hahaha, those are actually irrelevant. In fact, even if there is no Magic King, I will do the same~"

Beryl opened his arms and laughed. At this moment, he was sure of victory and he did not recommend letting Peperoncino be the one who knew the truth in the end.

"Because think about it, if all humans were sublimated into Ghosts, wouldn't that mean I would never be able to kill anyone again? That kind of world would be too boring."

Beryl's tone was as if he was talking about a trivial matter, which made Pepeloncino even feel creepy and suffocated.

"So, I decided to stop Kirshtalia no matter what. It's that simple."

After saying this, Beryl looked at Pepeloncino, whose whole body was burning with jealous rage but who was kneeling on the ground weakly because of his curse, and smiled as he raised his gun and aimed at the other's head.

"Okay, that's all I have to say. You can almost die now, Pepe~"

The bullet is ejected from the chamber. 】

As the audience was staring at this scum of the world with indignation, reinforcements finally arrived.

【"bump!"

A silver arm stretched out and crushed the flying energy bullets. The undead wrapped in purple flames stood between the two sides and looked viciously at Beryl who was shooting in the direction of his sister.

"What are you going to do to my sister?"

"Oh my, this figure and this form? I haven't seen you for a while, brother, you have upgraded?"

Looking at Shirou Emiya and the several Kamen Riders who arrived later than him and protected Peperoncino and Miyu Emiya, Beryl's gaze paused on Mashu for half a second and then showed a look of compromise.

"Ahaha, don't be so excited. Actually, there is no conflict between you and me. You want to stop Kirshtalia, and I want to stop Kirshtalia too. Aren't we supposed to be companions?"

"companion?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at him coldly and protected Emiya Miyu behind him.

"You definitely wanted to kill Miyu just now! How could we possibly believe you!"

"At worst, I'll just apologize to you."

Beryl looked indifferent to this.

"I just don't want the child of God to fall into Kirshtalia's hands. Now that you are protecting him, there is no need for me to do anything more, right? It's okay to hand him over to you..."

"Boom——"
