Battle in 5 Seconds After Meeting

I remembered! Mythical Language is so broken in gods' eyes that they decided to seal it and teach Virturantling (was I calling the people of Virturan this?) a new language Major/Minor languages.

Who the f*** is Gran Hartfilia? Is he/she an already existing character or not? I saw an interesting thing about him in my memo note.

I just found this paragraph

["There's one hidden mechanic in Light Eater." Kuro let out his tongue teasingly.]

What should I do... Even I, the author forgot what the hidden mechanic of this reverse flashba- light eater...

-----

The sound of seagulls rang high up in the sky as the salty pleasant smell coming from the ocean swept through the entire town.

It has been a week and a half... It was long. These 9 days, it has been reaa~lly awkward between Kuro and Ayame.

Kuro couldn't face the Oni because of her reaction toward 17 and he could understand her. At the same time, he really liked 17 (himself).

Although himself, 17 was like a parental figure to Kuro who taught him the very fundamental thing that leads to his knowledge right now.

When he was lonely, 17 along with 21 plays with him. He didn't feel 'too' depressed because of those two and it is safe to say the two implemented a huge effect on Kuro's healthy growth that led to now.

So although Kuro was interested in Ayame, if she said something like, "from now on don't be elated to that person," he will come to dislike her.

Perhaps reading that thought of Kuro (or using that newly gained something), Ayame had no comment to Kuro and even after 9 days, the two haven't talked even once.

In exchange, Kuro's playtime with Okayu, Shion... and Suisei has increased by very much...

No, first of all, Suisei?

Full Name: Hoshimachi S. Suisei. She is the person who created an axe out of stars and use such an axe to strike at the very first person she saw.

A psychopathic, dangerous, bloodlust, gore, abnormal, inhuman dangerous person. It's important so I said it twice... I went too far.

She is the very person who was the cause of the shattering of Tortoise Shell Fragment, and the very person who irresponsibly escaped the Great Naruto Bridge to follow Kuro's group.

'Seriously, it was the same with Okayu and Koro-san. Are whoever I meet a chick who would've been willing to follow the first person they met?' Kuro wasn't complaining though.

The first impression of Suisei to Kuro was the worst but after staying with her, he finds her to be a highly active, energetic person who wouldn't lose to Korone and has a high communication ability.

She's also adorable though... She lacks common sense. She once said that she wanted to eat the heart of a harpy raw.

As for Fina, she unwillingly stayed on the Great Naruto Bridge as the leader of Underwater Resident. Maybe even to this time, Fina Marmeido was doing all the hard work as a queen despite being a princess.

And by how things going, it wasn't far into the future before The Great Naruto Bridge won't be needing Tortoise's Shell Fragment and works out with the Underwater Resident.

As a peace-loving person, Kuro wants it to happen. Fight = No good. Everyone is happy = The percentages of losing some tremendously drops. Was Kuro's mindset, oversimplified.

These days, Kuro even modified a bit about [Slayer], Sha- Oujian's Triple-Barreled Pistol... Though what he did was only to make the Plasma Bullets be able to fit in it.

Kuro whistled calling the three children, the two were causing a ruckus while the one was being lazy as always. "We will stay here for a few days!"

"Really?"

"Hurray!! Hurray!!"

The noisy two cheered up while the cat reacted very little.

Suddenly, Ayame approached Kuro.

Kuro like looked at her eyes in wonder, and confusedly understood her intention.

At the very same moment, Oujian who was walking in front of the kids like a kindergarten teacher was attacked by an unbelievably quick projectile.

The only kids who could react to it were Kuro, Ayame (disguise), and surprisingly Suisei.

Despite being able to react to it, their body was unable to dodge it, making Oujian has no choice but to deflect it a few times.

Unfortunately, one projectile passed through Oujian's defense and headed toward Kuro. As if knowing the projectile would head to Kuro, Ayame moved him beforehand.

[Black Dome]

Kuro coated his surrounding with darkness, blocking the light from entering, as well as blinding his ally and hide themselves from the enemy.

Although this was useless to people proficient with perception techniques, it did the jobs Kuro intended.

Without pausing, Kuro rushed toward his teammate and kicked them. Beginning from Shion to Suisei, and finally to Okayu.

Suisei having no means to detect Kuro's movement was kicked into a spatial portal leading to somewhere afar.

Shion being suddenly blinded, had no time to use her Mana Sense and was sent to the portal leading to Suisei.

Okayu who was watching Kuro all the time, already figured out how to passively activate her Ki Sense all the time, making her figure out what Kuro wanted to do to her.

The next moment Kuro swiped his leg, Okayu entered the shadow realm making Kuro's leg pass through Okayu's physical image.

"To whom do you think this space belongs?" Kuro's inner 21 spoke to Okayu.

Okayu was unusually desperate this time, "Ku-Kuro I can fight! Please don't kick me out."

Kuro was merciless instead and with a sad face, he kicked Okayu into the spatial portal after entering the shadow realm. "Sorry, I can't risk."

Okayu unable to dodge Kuro's instantaneous movement was sent to somewhere unbelievably far away.

[Ki Sense: Nano]

[Copied Mana Sense (Shion)]

Kuro searched inside himself after sending off the kids.

With great effort, he found the tiny trace of mana inside him meticulously hidden. As he couldn't crush it with his mana alone, he combined his Origin Mana with Ki.

Finally doing so, he was able to destroy it.

-----

Somewhere between The Great Naruto Bridge and Treasure Vantage:

"Why?" Shion asked herself frustratedly.

"Is it no good?" by her side, Suisei asked in hope.

"Why is it malfunctioning when it comes to this!?" Shion gave up as the mana tracking she placed has completely disappeared.

-----

Somewhere in far land.

Okayu dissolved the shadow realm as millions of colors entered the world that lost its colors.

Soon after, helplessness overwhelmed her as tears fell from her face.

Frustrated, she smashed the ground she was standing in as a crack formed in it. Millions of complaints about herself entered her mind as she beat herself.

'What was I doing when I had the time to strengthen myself.' she smashed the ground even harder.

'Why was I always playing.' She continued smashing the ground.

'Why did I expect myself to stand with them when I spent no effort in training.' her fist began to bleed.

'I don't want to be just protected...'

Tears filled Okayu's face as she sat in helplessness above the cracked ground.

-----

[Dissolve]

As the darkness on one spot disappeared, the person holding a sniper reported to his superior.

"Kushu-sama, a few people seem to have disappeared after the strange barrier disappeared. Should I continue shooting?"

From his earpiece a voice sounded.

*Continue shooting. But, be careful with your behind. We don't know yet what the power these old people disguise as infant holds.*

*Giving orders to the rest standing by, do your best to hold Oujian down until Kuru arrive.*
