Knight Asylum

"Ah - speaking of which, Sonosaki Saeko is most likely working with the Outlaws now. Uncle, do you think Ms. Sonosaki Fumion knows what the museum's legacy is?"

"She is your childhood sweetheart, right? She has come to you many times before. If it is something tricky, she will definitely tell you."

"Oh my - since Sonosaki Saeko has cooperated with the Outlaws, the bargaining chip is most likely the museum's heritage. Since the devil can find it worthwhile to cooperate, the museum's heritage is definitely something troublesome."

"Hmm, it seems that Ms. Sonosaki Fumine is not at your place, uncle."

Ming Hai's expression was a little subtle.

Obviously, Red used the skill called sowing discord with malicious intent.

But there was one thing Reid was right about.

From beginning to end, Sonosaki Fumion never told him what the ultimate goal of the Sonosaki family was. He only knew that it was a very terrifying thing.

And he has been speculating on the purpose of Sonosaki Ryu's guards through the actions of the Sonosaki family.

"I have some speculation, but no evidence."

"Uh--"

Ming Hai felt a little helpless about Red's reaction, but he also understood it. He had the same reaction when he was reading a detective novel and saw the detective suddenly say that he had an idea but had no evidence.

"Red, I will investigate the issue of the museum's heritage. I need you to pay more attention to Igarashi," Ming Hai changed the subject.

When Igarashi was mentioned, Red put down his hands behind his head and his expression became serious.

The Desperate Clan created the Demon Seal in order to allow the power of the demon sealed in the memory hell to return to reality. So, what is Phoenix's purpose in collecting the seals?

To stop the Desperadoes from abusing the power of the devil?

If Phoenix was just Phoenix, that might be true, but Phoenix's predecessor was the Noah Organization.

The Desperate Clan created demons to forge demon seals, and Phoenix eliminated demons to recycle demon seals. It seemed like they were hostile, but now...

Isn't this just transferring money from the left hand to the right hand? From the beginning to the end, the power of the devil has never left the hands of the person behind the scenes.

Red remembered the operations of George Karisaki, the genius scientist who developed the Revice system. According to Igarashi Kazuki, Karisaki gave him a lot of demon seals some time ago to defeat demons.

The Revic System separated Whis from Igarashi's body, and the new Demon Seal will allow Igarashi to gain different types of demonic powers.

What impact will this process have on Igarashi Kazuki's body?

Reid took out his cell phone and sent a message to Igarashi Kazuki. Amanokawa High School should have been out of school by now, but Igarashi Kazuki did not reply to his message. It seemed that he was just playing football.

"Um, uncle, I have something I want to confirm—"

"Go."

Ming Hai crossed his arms across his chest and didn't ask any more questions.

……

"Ikki, merge!"

As Whis screamed, Igarashi Ikki hesitated for a moment before turning around and performing a rather embarrassing move to combine with Whis.

A mighty mammoth that could not be seen closely raised its huge body and crushed the humanoid brachiosaurus demon in front of it with the help of the train track, but the demon seal did not appear.

Looking at the flames exploding in front of him, Igarashi Ikki pulled out the seal, and Whis, who was posing, was dematerialized on the spot.

Igarashi Kazuki turned and looked in the direction of the football field. The simple football field became a complete mess because of the attack of the Brachiosaurus Demon. Not to mention scoring a point, even the goal was blown away.

"Everyone, I'm sorry—"

"No! How can it be your fault, Brother Ikki! It's all that monster...it's all that monster's fault!"

The captain of the football club, who was holding a football, reacted very quickly and immediately swallowed the word "weird" that was about to come out of his mouth and changed it to "monster".

The other high school students from Amanokawa High School also nodded quickly.

The brachiosaurus demon took down one goal right away, then blasted down another goal with a cannon, and only then did it start attacking them.

They were lucky to be unharmed.

"But...how can we play football like this?"

The head of the football club lowered his head in distress.

The weird high school students of Blackwater High School looked dejectedly at the messy football field in front of them. The only place where they could play football was also destroyed.

"How about... going to play at Amanokawa High School?"

The head of the football department hesitated for a moment and then asked tentatively.

"This……"

The weird students of Blackwater High School hesitated.

Amanokawa High School is the top high school in [S·L] and all the facilities are of the best quality. The football field there is definitely not comparable to the junky ones they use.

But can high school students from other schools like them, who are also weird, really enter Amanokawa High School to play football?

The hesitation of the weird students made the captain of the football club, who originally wanted to give it a try, feel guilty.

"It's fine!"

Igarashi Kazuki raised his hands and hooked the necks of both men tightly. His sunny and confident smile dispelled the haze that had shrouded the entire destroyed football field due to the demon's attack.

"Leave it to my brother."

"Big Brother!!!"

……

The teacher in front of the school gate leaned back with his hands on his chest, looking with embarrassment at Igarashi Kazuki who was asking him for help with his hands clasped in front of him. Many students of Amanokawa High School whispered curiously in the direction of Igarashi Kazuki.

Igarashi Sakura, who was walking out chatting and laughing with her classmates, saw Igarashi Kazuki being watched by other students and subconsciously covered her face. Just as she was about to step forward to stop Igarashi Kazuki's embarrassing behavior, she heard the whispers of the students around her.

"Igarashi-san is such a good person."

"No wonder the players in the football club treat him as their big brother."

"That's great... I also want a big brother like this."

Chapter 783: It Might Be a Little Itchy

Accompanied by the strong wind, the football passed by the goalkeeper's face like a cannonball and hit the goal.

The weird high school students in black uniforms cheered and jumped up and bumped their chests to celebrate the point. Although they had not received systematic training, their physical fitness as weirdos was far superior to that of humans. In the face of overwhelming physical fitness, the high school students' skills that had not yet reached the top of the world seemed extremely insignificant.

After the weird high school students got used to the court, Tennokawa High School never scored another point.

The players of Amanokawa High School were not discouraged by the overwhelming score difference. They pulled each other's arms above their heads to cheer themselves up.

"One more goal!"

"One more goal!"

The students of Amanokawa High School who were in the audience did not boo the other team because their team lost, but cheered for both teams enthusiastically.

The teachers of Amanokawa High School stood with their arms folded across their chests, watching the scene in front of them with satisfaction.

This is the original intention of their education. They do not require their students to become outstanding people, but they must make them good people.

Of course, one thing is one thing, and it is already time to go home from school. It is impossible to let them keep playing with such enthusiasm.

Just when Sugiura Yuta was about to step forward to play the bad guy, Igarashi Kazuki stopped the ball with his foot, raised his hands above his head and waved them vigorously. At Igarashi Kazuki's signal, the two teams, steaming from their bodies, lined up neatly in the middle of the football field, shook hands one by one, and ended the game amid the applause of the audience.

There is no doubt that Kazuki Igarashi has become the subject of heated discussion among students of Amanokawa High School. The seemingly strange setting of a 24-year-old man has become one of his charms.

Igarashi Sakura had mixed feelings.

She was still the object of admiration of other female classmates, but they no longer talked about her, but her brother.

How reliable, how considerate, how sunny, all of these are the advantages of Igarashi Kazuki that she has known for a long time, even better than anyone else.

She should have been happy, but when she saw everyone's eyes were on Igarashi Kazuki, a strange emotion began to grow in her heart.

Under the influence of this strange emotion, Igarashi Sakura deliberately ignored Igarashi Ikki who was waving in her direction and quickened her pace to walk out.

The whole scene was seen by Red who was sitting on the rooftop of the teaching building.

The current Igarashi Kazuki is shining with his own brilliance just like his name. The athletic big brother next door is the most popular type among high school students. This big brother next door has strong action ability and will really do anything when something happens.

As Igarashi Ikki's younger sister, Igarashi Sakura seems to have not yet gotten used to the shining side of Igarashi Ikki, who usually wears old-fashioned clothes and mops the floor in the bathhouse.

And looking at Igarashi Sakura's expression before she left...

It won't be long before there are quarrels between brothers and sisters.

Red held his chin in a somewhat awkward position.

He was just an outsider. It was not easy for him to interfere in the family affairs of the Igarashi siblings. He was not very clear about the inside story. He might not be able to ease the conflict between the Igarashi siblings. Of course, the most important thing was that he didn't know how to interfere.

"Ikki, I think you can handle it..."

Red let out a breath, slowly stood up and walked down the rooftop. When he reached the bottom of the building, Igarashi Kazuki was just about to go back with the others.

“Ah—Ikki—”

Reid smiled and waved to Igarashi Kazuki, and then lowered his voice after Igarashi Kazuki walked in.

“When I came here, I saw that the football field had been demolished. What happened?”

"A demon attacked us," Igarashi lowered his voice after a while, "and even after defeating that demon, the demon seal didn't explode."

Reid frowned.

Now that he knows that the predecessor of Phoenix is ​​the Noah Organization, he doesn't think that the devil would attack Igarashi Kazuki for no reason.

"Are you...constantly changing the demon seal?" Reid asked tentatively after a moment's hesitation.

"Yes, some demons have very tricky characteristics and need to be dealt with by changing different seals," Igarashi Ikki said with a puzzled look on his face, "Is there something wrong?"

"Uh... do you feel like there's something wrong with your body?"

"Not at all," Igarashi Kazuki pressed his shoulders and shook them up and down.

"Yeah?"

Reid reached out and squeezed Igarashi Kazuki's shoulder, thought for a while, and took out a blood collection device from behind.

"Do you mind if I take a blood sample?"

Frequent use of the power of the Devil's Seal will definitely have some effect on Ikki Igarashi's body, otherwise...why would Karisaki let Ikki Igarashi use the Revice system that can separate the devil from the body?

"Sure," Igarashi Kazuki rolled up his sleeves and exposed his arms without thinking twice.

“It might itch a little.”

After a quick gesture, Red inserted the blood-drawing device into Igarashi Kazuki's arm. In less than three seconds, the red light on the side of the device turned green.

"Oh~ that's a great help."

Red blew a whistle, pulled out the blood collection device, took out the alcohol cotton and wiped the place where Igarashi Kazuki still had blood beads.

"If you have any trouble, remember to call me."

"Yes, I will," Igarashi Ikki pulled his sleeves down.

"Then—I'll be leaving first."

Reid glanced at the football team members of Blackwater High School and Amanokawa High School who were very polite and did not approach him. After smiling at these young people, Reid pulled his backpack and got on the Mobile Pegasus.

Phoenix Sky Fortress.

"You look so happy... Did something good happen?"

Igarashi Daiji, who was heading to the command room with a report, paused for a moment, then turned around and smiled politely.

"Dr. Karizaki, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Karisaki, who was leaning against the wall, grinned and came to Igarashi Daiji with his hands spread out to both sides, shaking them. He didn't say anything, but just looked at Igarashi Daiji from side to side with his chin held high.

Even Igarashi Daiji felt a little uncomfortable under Karizaki's gaze. Just when Igarashi Daiji couldn't help but ask Karizaki what was the matter, Karizaki suddenly whistled and gestured up and down with his hands.

"No, I just noticed that you looked very good these past two days, and your work enthusiasm has increased by 30%. No, it should be around 35%, so I'm a little curious. Team member Igarashi, do you mind sharing it with me?"

Igarashi Daiji had a subtle expression. Judging from Karizaki's attitude, he would not be able to leave today if he didn't explain himself.

Igarashi Daiji had no choice but to lower his head.

"My brother decided to restart what he loves and is now working hard for his dream. As his younger brother, I am of course very happy."

"Eh - this is really surprising -" Karizaki covered his mouth and exclaimed.

"So, Dr. Karisaki, please don't bother my brother with the devil's matter. Leave it to me."
