(Drako's POV)
The person who had eliminated the Utsusemi was none other than Lavinia. She had given a KS all over my face, sothing I didn't think I would say once I ca into this world.
"What are you doing here?" I asked her.
"You were taking too long, so I ca looking for you. Who knows, sothing bad might have happened to you, Dra-kun."
Lavinia dressed in a witch's costu is so cuuuuteee...
...…
"Enter inside."
It was late at night when we got back to the apartnt.
Tobio still seed a little lost, so we guided him into the apartnt. Two people were waiting in the living room.
One of them is Natsu Minagawa, while the other...
"Drako-nyaa!"
It's none other than Kuroka.
She jumps at the sight of and would have thrown to the ground if not for my supernatural strength.
"What are you doing, Kuroka?"
"Recharging my Drakonians energies."
I think it's best not to comnt on any of this.
While I have Kuroka hugging , with her legs wrapped around my back, I introduce Tobio to the rest.
"The blonde girl with the witch's cosplay is Lavinia, and the beautiful student over there is Natsu. You and Natsu went to the sa school, but I'm not sure if you knew each other or not."
Tobio and Natsu's left to right head shake tells they didn't know each other.
"Well, the lazy cat girl's na is Kuroka. Don't pay too much attention to her, she's just stupid."
Tobio nods seriously, which almost makes laugh. Kuroka, on the other hand, sticks her teeth into my neck in revenge for calling her stupid.
"I'm not stupid, you're the stupid one."
What I was saying, she's a brainless idiot.
anwhile, Lavinia and Natsu lean slightly towards Tobio as they say a "Please take care of ."
Are you two in sync?
"By the way, where are the missing ones?"
"Shark has gone ho, although we tried to keep him from leaving, after the fight with Valina. He said, "I don't need your protection," and left. Valina and Raynare have returned to Grigori as Azazel has called them both. Actually, he had called you, but since you weren't there, Raynare went in your place."
So the Governor-General wanted to talk to . I guess it was to make a report on what happened.
"Speaking of the king of Ro, though I think it's better to say queen in this case."
The elevator, which connected Grigori to the apartnt, opened, and Raynare entered the apartnt.
"I'm back, and I have news!"
Raynare rushed into the room and practically ignored us all as she inserted a DVD into her respective player.
"What is that-nyaa?"
You know curiosity kills the cat.
"It's sothing Azazel-sama gave to show the students. A pity that Kouki is not here, this also interests him. Ah, you must be Tobio, I'm Raynare. Now, let's see the video!"
Raynare hits play.
We all start watching the video that appears on the TV screen.
The Heavenly of Aloha incident--.
The luxury liner that Natsu and Tobio were supposed to have boarded. It had sunk along with their classmates, this ship with a 'divine' na. Although the video had no sound, both students showed a complicated look. Both have been suffering these two months, carrying a ntal wound from the loss of their classmates.
The video changed. What the screen now showed, it was sowhere in a city environnt. In the video, similar to those taken with a ho video cara, a group of young n and won were shown.
"Is that… Yada? Kojima?"
Tobio seed to recognize the people in the video. Which ans that the people shown in the videos were the alumni of that school.
Groups of young people were shown successively. There where many faces that both students recognized. Images of young people were shown successively without pause. It was not fifty or a hundred, there were more.
The video was showing people that Tobio and Natsu, until a mont ago, had believed their whereabouts to be unknown. However, the ti stamp on the video was a digital number indicating a period in June just half a month ago…
The two-hundred thirty-three Ryoukuu high school sophomores still said to be missing. In reality, the chances of survival were practically non-existent. But, on the video in front of , everyone whose whereabouts was unknown was alive and active.
Half a month ago...
Azazel knew more than he taught . That bastard...
I held back from insulting the Governor-General as we continued to watch the video.
Natsu and Tobio are showing different faces as the video progresses. Still, there is one that I recognize above the others.
They are hopeful.
Yeah, I've noticed the sa one they have. There's a chance their closest friends are still alive. The Utsusemi Agency may still be keeping the students alive.
One of the male classmates was shown on the screen. There was a monster like a crocodile at his side. From the monster's mouth, a tongue languidly extended. ...No, it was a tentacle.
Other classmates were shown on the screen leading a variety of different monsters. Like the frog, spider, snake, and lizard he had just t... So looked like huge insects such as moths and mantises. There were ominous monsters whose size was impossible to determine, and also those with distorted appearances. They were monsters, almost like those out of movies and gas.
They were stretching their tentacle-like tongues, seizing a live pig. While the video had no sound, the appearance alone was tragic, as the monsters tore up the live pig, and devoured it. Blood was dripping from the edge of the monsters' mouths.
Each and every Utsusemi was a hideous monster with a very long tongue. And all the humans who accompanied them were nothing but artificial humans, failed attempts at homunculus.
More of these Utsusemis were shown.
These creatures, they were monsters with frightening special abilities and high physical capabilities. For a petty attack, it would not be possible to cut the flesh beneath the skin. Even if it was cut, their uncommon resilience would allow them to seal the wound imdiately.
For defeat, the nucleus or the head must be destroyed. It seems the nucleus is in the position which for a human would be called the heart. Their weaknesses were fundantally no different than other living things. However, they were much sturdier than ordinary creatures.
When the video stopped, Raynare talk again.
"This video, photographically docunting the truth of these peculiar roots, has been kept hidden by people like us. By no ans is this CG, nor is it acting. They are the Ryoukuu high school sophomores who went missing in the mariti disaster. Your classmates. And now, they are controlling genuine monsters. Paired with their monster, they apparently are nad——Utsusemi."
Raynare said so indifferently, it seems that Azazel has explained her a little bit.
Lavinia continued.
"By Utsusemi, we an things like imitations created by a certain organization existing in this country, people with artificial supernatural abilities——they would be categorized as sothing like Inou Tsukai (Special ability users). They are being manipulated by the organization."
