I'm doing a crossover anime/manga project, and I'm creating a new kind of "Moonlight&

Moreover... the bounty is between $5 and $5 million, depending on the intelligence value, and there's no upper limit.

this moment.

Toyokawa Shoko's eyes turned into a $ shape.

If I can earn a little over 100 million US dollars, I can pay back the money to the Toyokawa family and stop owing them money, right?

(Xiangzi's father caused the Toyokawa family to lose 168 billion yen, not debt.)

Then.....

There's no after that.

They were killed by soldiers on the road...

She had only accidentally stepped on an aluminum can when a grotesque white bone sword pierced through the wall and cut her in half at the waist.

It didn't even have time to activate the scales...

When the other party smashed through the wall to chase after Jianzi, Xiangzi finally saw the other party's dark and lifeless figure clearly.

Sword Demon?

Just the Sword Demon?

His eyes gradually dimmed, his consciousness sank, and images appeared one after another, flashing like a revolving lantern.

Is she... going to die?

...、

"I'm not dead?"

Shoko Toyokawa shuddered and woke up abruptly in her room.

From the side, you see Miko with tears in her eyes.

She fared far worse than Xiangzi. She was caught in a few strides, pierced through the chest with a sword, then beheaded, watching herself being dismembered and finally having her head crushed by trampling...

very scary.

It's really scary.

Death is truly terrifying.

Xiangzi was also pale; she had died from excruciating pain, and half of her body was still crawling on the ground for a distance.

She suddenly realized that she had only been paddling on the periphery of this other world all along, at most maneuvering the seawater to expose the last meter of the dark cavity, and contributing a little effort.

They are still hothouse flowers.

"Again, I didn't notice just now. If I had reacted sooner and activated the mermaid scales..."

She bit her lip, her gaze resolute.

"Hey, that works!"

Kato Megumi nodded from the other single bed.

Yes, she committed suicide at the lowest level; she used a pencil to pierce her eyeball, damaging her brain, so she wouldn't experience much pain.

The main reason was that the commotion was too great at the time, and all the Sword Demons came out.

Eventually, she'll be noticed when everyone's crowding together.

Therefore, he decisively committed suicide.

Cruel person.

Fifteen minutes later.

"Ugh, why is there one hidden in the bathroom too?"

Half an hour later.

"A wardrobe, there's a wardrobe too!"

After one hour.

"The ceiling... too?"

Toyokawa Shoko stared blankly at the ceiling, muttering to herself.

Was that the brat from that family transformed? How could it hide in the ceiling?

And isn't this monster density a bit too outrageous?

"Again!"

Toyokawa Shoko gritted her teeth and said.

"No...no!"

Yotsuya Miko's eyes were already dead; she murmured to herself.

Each reminder was a step too late. To be precise, Xiangzi was always ahead of everyone else, always wanting to shoulder everything alone, with an absurdly high sense of self-esteem.

But aren't they a team?

"For the last time, we've reached the vicinity of the Matou residence."

......

Fuyuki City.

"Is this the Matou residence?"

Looking at the vast, gloomy, damp, and dark old mansion in front of him, Toyokawa Shoko swallowed hard.

Even without getting close, she felt an inexplicable unease.

"Maybe we shouldn't go..."

the first time.

Kato Megumi objected to Toyokawa Shoko's decision, her usually light tone now carrying a hint of seriousness.

Although she didn't talk much, both Miko Yotsuya and Shoko Toyokawa valued her words.

"That....."

Toyokawa Shoko struggled for a moment, but ultimately gave up.

It's one thing to gamble on yourself, but you can't drag your friends into it.

"Nin no Dan!"

A magnetic and alluring voice rang out.

It was as if it were a declaration.

A gunshot rang out, and the huge tremors and crashes that were echoing inside the mansion suddenly subsided.

Layers of gorgeous red and black Lolita dresses flowed, and a breathtakingly alluring young woman, like an elf, leaped high from the mansion, holding an ancient flintlock pistol.

Under the incredulous gazes of Xiangzi and the others, she parted her full lips slightly and pulled the trigger against her temple.

"Fourth Bullet!"

A gunshot rang out, and the bullet instantly pierced the head of the girl with black twin ponytails, the impact causing her head to tilt to the right.

There was no blood splattering at all; instead, the abrasions on her rounded legs and slender arms were healing rapidly.

"Roar!"

A terrifying roar, like a heavy cannon, shattered a cluster of houses, and a gigantic claw, blotting out the sky, tore through the earth and stretched into the heavens.

The girl remained completely calm:

"The third bullet!"

The gunpowder ignited, propelling the projectile like a sharp sword, instantly striking the massive brown claw.

"It's useless, firearms are ineffective against that size..."

Xiangzi murmured to himself, looking at the girl who seemed to be the embodiment of his dreams.

But the next moment...

It protruded more than ten meters above the ground, like a giant claw standing on a five or six-story building, frozen in time.

A terrified scream, reminiscent of a decaying, cold old man, rang out: "This is... the Second Law?!"

(The Gemstone Elder possesses the ability to interfere with spacetime; the Second Law should include time.)

The enormous claw froze for a moment before collapsing, crumbling into countless...insects?!

Countless insects, which should have been censored, wriggled and overlapped, densely packed like a tidal wave crashing against the surrounding courtyard, wave after wave.

But they quickly found a hole and crawled into it, disappearing underground.

Toyokawa Shoko's expression changed drastically, and she retreated frantically.

Seeing that her son was running even faster than her, and his face was deathly pale, the two of them retreated far behind several houses.

Kato Megumi was already waiting for them, and her face was slightly pale.

He no longer sits serenely under the frosty sky as he once did.

"That's outrageous. Such a terrible thing shouldn't even exist."

Shoko Toyokawa gasped for breath, then took out the scales and vigorously purified herself and her friends.

They felt a little better after the warm sea tide washed over them.

"What does that second law refer to...? Could that girl also be a native?"

......

The rooftop of a building.

"It seems that a direct assault is not feasible."

Kurumi Tokisaki stood on the edge of the rooftop, gazing at the battle in the distance.

Although her third bullet, that kind of attack that rapidly ages the opponent's consciousness, was specifically designed for that monster.

However, the difference in spiritual power still made it difficult for her to kill her opponent.

Especially now that the third bullet has been exposed, the monster is prepared.

After all, that thing is similar to the collective will of a swarm of insects.

At least if you discard the hit bugs beforehand, you won't be affected.

Moreover, she could sense that this was not the opponent's true strength at all, and it seemed to be constantly enticing her true form to enter.

The monster only revealed a very small portion of the swarm of insects; she could sense that the underground of the mansion, and even the underground surrounding the mansion, was filled with that disgusting stuff.

Soon, her alter ego was driven to suicide.

The girl frowned slightly at the pain, but quickly stopped caring.

"Oh dear, this is really difficult!"

The elegant young lady, with a sickly charm, spoke these words, yet her heterochromatic eyes, one red and one gold, remained calm and unreadable.

"It seems that the only way to uncover the secret is to use the Twelfth Bullet!"

That's real time travel, so it requires a lot of spiritual energy.

Fortunately, it seems that it was only six years ago, so the consumption wasn't too excessive.

After all, the earlier the time, the more exponentially the consumption increases.

so.....

Kurumi Tokisaki's eyes flickered.

"Emperor Keke!"

The moment she raised her right hand to announce it, the entire space behind her collapsed.

Countless rusted bronze gears and sparkling crystal pointers burst forth from the void.
