Chapter 227

"... As expected, there's the scent of the Hagoromo Gitsune!"

Isayama Yomi's heart tightened.

Clang—

She subconsciously drew Shishiō, ready to go up and investigate.

Iwanaga Kotoko grabbed her arm, her tone complex, "Are you planning to go up like that?"

Isayama Yomi was stunned for a moment, then looked at her with a puzzled gaze.

Iwanaga Kotoko's mouth twitched, "Are you sure you can resolve this?"

"Don't you need to notify your department?"

Iwanaga Kotoko's emotions fluctuated.

If it weren't for her status in the Paranormal Countermeasures Agency, how could she have brought her to such a dangerous place?

And...

This woman just said the name Hagoromo Gitsune, right?

Isn't that a famous great yokai?!

Can something related to her really be resolved by a high school girl like her?

Isayama Yomi paused, then shook her head, "I don't know..."

But...

"If we keep waiting, I'm afraid it will be too late..."

Her expression turned stern, her eyes filled with determination.

Actually...

She was quite confident.

But she didn't want to speak too soon.

She had already resolved six incidents involving the scent of the Hagoromo Gitsune on her own.

There were absolutely no problems.

But one could never be sure when things might go wrong.

Hehe...

She's a stubborn one...

Iwanaga Kotoko had a headache.

If she had known, she wouldn't have waded into these muddy waters.

"But please rest assured."

Isayama Yomi suddenly thought of the previous matter and decided to give Iwanaga Kotoko some reassurance, taking out the devil flyer Lin En had given her.

"This is..."

Iwanaga Kotoko was a bit confused.

"A devil summoning flyer."

"As long as I infuse it with cursed power, a devil will appear to help me overcome the crisis."

"Of course..."

"I'll need to pay a reward afterward."

"Huh?"

Iwanaga Kotoko was dumbfounded.

You're a human, and a demon slayer at that, yet you're counting on a devil??

She wasn't familiar with devils, but she had heard a few things through the mouths of yokai.

However...

Something like a devil flyer.

This was her first time seeing one in person.

Hmm...

Although relying on a devil might be shameful for a human, it was still a method.

At the very least, Iwanaga Kotoko felt much more at ease.

Of course...

The premise was that the devil who arrived was strong enough.

"Alright! Then let's go in with full focus!"

Black Bullet World.

The sky was growing dark.

Busujima Saeko and Tendō Kisara had also fought a fierce battle.

At some point, the two of them had tacitly started competing.

As for the other odds and ends, they were handled by Kasumigaoka Utaha and Shiina Mahiru.

Seeing that they were starting to pant from exhaustion, Lin En clapped his hands and called them back.

Next.

It was Scorpio's turn.

"Leave the remaining Gastrea to Hana and the others."

The high-stage Gastrea had all been wiped out.

Leaving the rest to Hana and the others, who were Lower-Grade Devils, was just right.

The subjugation battle against Scorpio was not suitable for them.

It wasn't just that their strength couldn't inflict damage on Scorpio.

Hana's technique for using her aura was truly unsightly and lacked any structure.

Lin En was afraid she might accidentally slide herself right into Scorpio's mouth.

For the subjugation battle, he would be the main force.

One reason was to see what level his current strength had reached, and the other was because of the 【Gastrea Factor Catalog】.

However...

Before the subjugation battle, let's replenish magic first.

Looking at Saeko and the others waiting to be fed, Lin En rewarded them one by one.

"Eh? Why is it like this again..."

Ikuko Kajikawa puffed out her cheeks.

Ever since everyone in the Familia learned that Lin En's magic replenishment had the same effect as Ikuko Kajikawa's,

her recovery items had decisively fallen out of favor.

"It took so much effort to make them..."

She complained, then joined the line, looking forward to Lin En with anticipation.

Kasumigaoka Utaha rolled her eyes at her and muttered, "Aren't you the same?"

You don't even drink what you produce yourself, yet you want others to drink it.

Before long.

Replenishment complete.

Everyone in Lin En's Familia turned their gaze toward Scorpio.

Busujima Saeko's gaze was solemn.

There was no longer any sense of ease from before.

No matter who it was, seeing this mountain-like Gastrea would subconsciously make their heart tense up.

For a behemoth like this, just rolling over could cause a whole area to collapse.

"Hoo..."

"Finally, we have to face it..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha gripped her Devil's Book tightly, wondering if the maximum power output of her Lightning Strike could inflict damage on it.

As if sensing the gaze of Lin En and the others, Scorpio paused its movements, then opened its giant mouth and let out a roar.

"yiiiiiiiii——"
