Spirit

Suke-san. What do you think is going on over there?

I cant tell-degozaru. But there is no doubt that the town is in danger-degozaru.

From the shadows flying over the town, things that were presumably to be attacks were showering down on the town. Every time they did, fire was ablaze here and there. Tanaka, who had been watching the situation of the town from a distance, suddenly stood upright, raised one hand and declared.

Alert stance number one! Were going to slip into town stealthily and quietly, while keeping an eye out for those guys in the sky.

Suke-san, following Tanakas lead, similarly stood upright and replied.

Roger-degozaru.

The two of them decided to first make their way to the town, as what was happening there didnt seem to be some sort of festival.

Quieter than a cockroach, faster than a cockroach!

The two gradually crunched closer to the town. The closer they got to the town, the more shouts and screams could be heard from there. And then, the identity of the shadows in the sky was also finally revealed.

Suke-san, arent those the beautiful women who attacked you the other day?!

That seems to be the case-degozaru. But I didnt know there were so many of them-degozaru.

The two halted on their steps, as they were surprised by the identity of the shadows. The town was still constantly under barrage of attack. Even in such a situation, however, the honest man who was Tanaka didnt fail to leak his worldly desire out of his mouth.

Hmm, for the time being, lets go. Mufufu, unlike the time with Suke-san, no matter which one who loses, this time I can definitely acquainted myself with a beautiful woman.

The two continued to move closer to the two facing off beautiful women, even as he talked to himself as such.

I did expect you to show some sort of reaction if we attack the town, but Id have never expected that youd sacrifice your body to save those heretic human and monsters.

The winged beautiful woman spoke to the robed woman in front of her in a slightly astonished tone. Even as she was speaking, though, she didnt let her guard down, and the lance in her hand was pointed at the other woman. Despite the fact that the tip of the lance was pointed at her, the robed woman herself didnt seem to be perturbed at all. She simply and expressionlessly stared at the woman in front of her.

O foolish spirit who has decided to follow me. I wish you could obtain what you deserve.

Before Tanaka and Suke-san even had the chance to step in, the lance of the winged beautiful woman had already pierced the woman in the robe. After the lance had pierced the woman for sure, it was then pulled out, as the pierced robed woman fell down from the force of the lance in the process.

This is the least mercy I could bestow upon you. Ill let you pass on as you watch over at the town which youve used that bod of yours as sacrifice to protect.

Saying so, the winged beautiful woman flew away into the sky. The other women, who were flying in the sky, also left as though being led by her. Then, Tanaka arrived on the scene in a flurry.

Noooo! How could this happen?! Such a precious beauty!

Tanaka rushed toward the woman who had just been pierced by the lance. As he held the woman up in his arms, though, he froze. There was a large hole in her chest. However, no blood was flowing out of it. Moreover, in the depth of the presumably hole of injury, grains of light were flowing out.

Wha! Whats this? eeii! For the time being, I have to give her treatment first. Heal!

The womans body was enveloped in light. The light subsided before long, but the wound on her chest remained as it was. Moreover, it began to gradually spread little by little.
