【senior……?】

[Let's get back to the point. Gojo-senpai and Getsu-senpai should have just returned from a mission, right? They must have come to the playground for a purpose... I see. Do we need to avoid them?]

[Eh? What do you mean? Nanami-senpai.]

[He said so? How is it? ]

[No——Hmm…] Shizi gritted her teeth and thought hard. [Please, just step back a little…]

【I see. 】

[Oh? We actually need to retreat, is this a large-scale technique? Haha~]

[That's really exciting~, what kind of technique is it? 】

When Gojo Satoru silently took off his sunglasses, Geto Suguru quietly walked up to Alice and Reigen.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Shih-shih also began to try to use her own power.

This was the second time she had used her bug powers since escaping the facility, and she felt only uneasiness at this point.

but……

"I can't stand still."

Poetry is timid, cowardly, introverted and not good at socializing.

She wasn't as smart as her sister, nor was she particularly capable, but she never made a mistake about what she should do.

"Use it, power."

〖Please, just a little bit 〗

20. A snowflake

The designated insect carrier of secret species number one, [Winter Firefly] - Xingben Poetry.

As for how vicious her abilities are, the current Special Ring Combat Team and civilian parasite handlers only have a rough idea of how vicious they are.

Because, except for [Guo Gong], all the insect-possessed people who have actually encountered [Dongying] are either dead or disabled.

And [Mr. Guo] himself was very secretive about the battle with [Dongying] four years ago.

Therefore, most parasite possessors actually don’t quite know what kind of abilities Winter Firefly, who is known as “the most vicious parasite possessor in history”, has.

Even most people who know about it have never seen it with their own eyes, for the reason mentioned above - most people who have seen Winter Firefly release its abilities are dead.

After miraculously escaping from the facility for the containment of people with defects, Dongying has never used her power in front of other people.

"Poetry... [Winter Firefly]..."

If we were to say who has the most complicated feelings at this time, it would definitely be the "Guo Gong" of the world of Insect Song - Yakuya Daisuke.

His life experience is quite special. After his life was distorted by insects, he vowed to eliminate all insect-attached people in the world from the source!

This doesn't mean that he will kill one parasite possessed person if he sees one, or kill a pair if he sees two... In this world, there is a being called the "Original Three".

The source of the continuous emergence of parasites since ten years ago can be traced back to these three special beings.

As long as the "original three" are killed, the tragedy of the parasites can theoretically be ended and no more parasites will be born.

Assuming this can be done, the existing parasite owners don't need to consider it at all - the parasite owners exchange their dreams for the power of the parasites, and this process is not a warm and equal exchange.

In fact, the contract with the worm is even more sinister than the insidious and cunning devil of hell in the legend!

Every day the possessed person exists, the insects will continue to eat away at their special energy of "dreams". If left alone, they will die in a few years at most due to the loss of all their dreams. Using their abilities will speed up this process.

If things ended here, it would be fine. It would just mean that there would be thousands or tens of thousands more terminally ill patients in the world.

However, the parasite-possessed people's special abilities to fly into the sky and into the earth, and to collapse mountains and split the earth have attracted the attention of the government.

Whether it is to utilize the power of parasite owners or to eliminate the threat posed by parasite owners, the official special agency against parasite owners, the [Special Environmental Conservation Bureau], has been established!

The core idea of the organization is "fight parasites with parasites".

They would capture parasite carriers, train those that were suitable for fighting and obedient, and then send them out to capture other parasite carriers, ignoring the wishes of the captured.

Even if the arrested person has become a member of the Special Ring Bureau, he is already "dead" on the social level.

The family members will be notified by the government that their children have died unexpectedly. If the target is not captured, the [Special Ring] will monitor the target's family members 24 hours a day, forcing them to break away from their old social relationships and fall into a dilemma of isolation and helplessness on the social level.

It is easy to imagine how fierce the resistance would be from the parasite carriers who were identified as targets.

Therefore, although parasites are being born every moment, their overall number has remained quite stable - many parasites are killed in the process or die because their dreams are exhausted.

It is precisely in order to prevent this situation from happening again in the future that Yakuya Daisuke wants to eliminate the "Original Three" and solve the problem directly from the source.

His will has always been very strong, but four years ago, he met [Winter Firefly] in the debut battle of [Tokuhuan]...

Fortunately or unfortunately, the girl who had the same dream as him left a deep impression on him.

…“want a place to stay”.

Such a simple wish, but it is a sad wish that is almost impossible to achieve for poetry, Yakuya Daisuke, and all parasite-possessed people.

Four years ago, the overwhelming power caused Winter Firefly to go berserk as soon as it awakened, and if left alone it would have embarked on the path of self-destruction.

Dongying, who was unwilling to continue hurting others, entrusted her dream to Guo Gong when she met Daisuke, the only one who could break through her suppressed abilities and come to her.

Four years later, Shizi, who has recovered from her defective state and recalled her dream, is the first person to notice her and fall in love with her at first sight, and that person is Yakuya Daisuke.

[Winter Firefly] and [Guo Gong], Anmoto Poetry and Yakuya Daisuke... Daisuke was originally able to separate the two!

Unexpectedly, these two people are actually the same person - even if it is fate, this story is too tortuous, right? !

Moreover, it should be said that according to the information he obtained, Shishi had only fought as an insect holder twice.

Strictly speaking, it is difficult to call these two battles battles.

The first time was the uncontrolled rampage when the ability was awakened. From beginning to end, Shi Shi tried hard to suppress the ability from further expanding and thus hurting other people. However, in fact, any parasite except him would instantly lose their combat effectiveness once they came into contact with Shi Shi's ability - it had nothing to do with Shi Shi's personal will.

The second time happened recently.

[Special Ring] finally found Poetry, who had recovered from her defective state and escaped. It was in the park where he was at the time that Poetry used her abilities again.

Judging from the scene at the time, the power of poetry should be more or less under control, because the signs of damage on the scene were not as great as those that occurred four years ago when several blocks were completely destroyed.

The more a parasite owner uses his abilities, the more proficient he becomes. Can Shi, who has only experienced two battles, really use his abilities well?

Yakuya Daisuke looked at the light curtain worriedly.

And his worry is also the current mood of poetry.

So after asking Gojo Satoru and the others to retreat, she clasped her hands together and closed her eyes, trying hard to concentrate and communicate with the insect's will. Just like when she first used the ability, she tried to limit the scope of use of the ability.

〖Please, just for a moment...〗

〖Just a snowflake——〗

A light emerges out of nowhere from the chest of poetry.

It was a pure white insect that was bigger than an adult's fist and looked like a firefly. It had no wings but could float in the air.

The most important thing is that this pure white firefly-like insect emits white phosphorescence around its body, making it look exceptionally holy.

[...]

The insect looked at the poem silently. Its two eyes were exceptionally large, and their blue color was different from its white body.

Humans cannot tell the insect's emotions from its cold and hard face, or perhaps it has no emotions at all.

In short, after the insects emerged, as Gojo Satoru and the others suddenly looked serious, a piece of white snow slowly fell from the sky not far away.

[……]Poetry secretly opens one eye.

After seeing a patch of pure white snow emitting clean white light suddenly appear in the sky, she suddenly felt relieved.

Success...

Gojo Satoru was a little curious about her nervousness. [What's wrong? Is this your technique? It's really beautiful~, girls will definitely like it.]

[Yeah~, glowing snowflakes falling from the sky - it's like a scene from a fairy tale! I wonder what it would taste like if I cooked it...]

Amid Gojo Satoru and Alice's comments, the fluttering snowflakes of light finally landed on the ground.

Then, as soon as the snowflakes touched the ground, it was like a closed room full of tiny particles encountering an open flame, or a cigarette being lit next to a leaking gas tank—

A huge roar sounded!

explosion!

The blasting sound that stimulates the eardrums and the air waves that make it difficult for people to stand directly hit in all directions with the landing point as the center!

And in the center of the landing point, within a radius of five meters, it seemed as if someone had thrown a rocket with a flash special effect inside!

The white shock wave that accompanied the explosion crushed everything within the explosion range!

Weeds, the ground, the nearby plastic track, and even the ruins and dust produced after the collapse of these things—

Everything was crushed into powder by the white shock wave!

Even the dust didn't have time to escape!

The shock wave, which was faster than sound, caught up with the flying dust, then pulled everything within the range inward equally and continued to crush it.

This process lasted for nearly five seconds.

After everything was over, Gojo Satoru and others, who were inevitably covered in dust by the air wave, had no time to tidy up their clothes and hair. They stared at the explosion site in front of them with wide eyes. Then, a "clean" pit more than ten meters wide and more than one meter deep appeared in front of everyone.

【…】

【…】

"..."

"..."

At this moment, countless people inside and outside the light curtain fell silent.

Let's ignore the reaction outside the light curtain. Inside the light curtain, the gray bear twitched the corner of his mouth and pretended to be relaxed, using his fingers to gesture and said:

[Alice-san… said she wanted to add that kind of snowflakes to the dishes? ]

【…】

21. Alice's Mood

[Alice-san… said she wanted to add that kind of snowflakes to the dishes? ]

【…】

Alice didn't want to pay any attention to the gray bear.

As for her joke about incorporating poetry snowflakes into dishes, she now deeply realized how inappropriate that idea was.

Even though her chefs have a consistent trait of looking down on customers, the idea of "it's your honor to eat my food, which is so exquisitely cooked" is rooted in the chef's pride, but it is not necessary to say that they look down on customers to the point of hoping that they will explode in their restaurant.

[How amazing…]

【…】

Poetry slowly turned her neck to look at Alice.

Alice's trembling voice came over, and when Shishi heard the voice, her body trembled instinctively, her eyes full of expectation.

【Awesome! Little poem! 】

Alice's excitement didn't seem fake.

In fact, she was really surprised that her companion had such powerful strength!

She understood things like sorcerers, curses, and rituals. After all, even in Denmark, various Japanese games were selling very well. It made no sense for her, whose name came from her mother rather than her father, to have no interest in her own country's culture.

However, understanding is one thing, but after living in a world without any supernatural powers for more than ten years, it is still a bit difficult for her to accept the spells and spirits that only appear in the movies suddenly appearing before her eyes.

There are two reasons why Alice, who is in this mood, can sincerely praise poetry:

Firstly - she had personally experienced something today that was even more incredible than any spell or curse.
