"But the situations of those two are rather special. Brother Sakurai needs you to personally take action to ensure we can capture them."
"The two little girls are still a little too immature."
Quickly skipping over this blunder, the bartender emphasized in a rare serious tone.
"No problem, send me the address and I'll be ready to go."
It's a bit late, but...
The fight with Hanako wasn't satisfying enough, so he wouldn't mind having another big fight.
With a snap of his fingers, Sakurai said that they would leave the midnight snack to the bartender.
As for the bartender, it’s a bit of a scam, but he’s also a fun-loving and mystical guy.
But in the final analysis, it is still barely trustworthy.
At least this unscrupulous businessman will be more considerate of his people.
"You can arrange your time accordingly. If you want to find a mysterious place for adventure, the profiteer has prepared a mop for you."
"If you want to go home, let the profiteer arrange a car for you."
"Assistant, if you haven't eaten yet, you can have something to eat. The food here at the profiteer is pretty good."
After giving instructions to the two women, Sakurai left the pub in big strides.
Since we have decided to let these two people act as a team, we must at least ensure their safety.
Compared to the supernatural, spirits are undoubtedly safer, aren't they?
If spirits are really what the bartender said they were.
Especially in today's outrageous world where the human world is almost filled with supernatural beings, compared to the supernatural beings that can almost be called the natural enemies of life.
There is no doubt that [Spirit] is more trustworthy.
At least that's what Sakurai thought.
34. Immortal Body - Ghost Soldier
In the final analysis, Sakurai still doesn't believe in Chiranji. In his eyes, the supernatural is just the supernatural and is not trustworthy.
At least there is no way to trust unconditionally.
To completely entrust the safety of your mouth to another person is equivalent to putting your hand into the mouth of a hungry wolf, which is completely irresponsible for your own safety.
Especially now that profiteers have given better options.
Unlike Sakurai, whose [great power belongs to himself], Xiao Yexiao's main combat power comes from Pokémon.
Occupying the primary position in the relationship between oneself and the form generation, and achieving a balance between the form generations, is the necessary condition for moving forward in this unknown inner world.
[Checks and balances] are the kingly way, and are the key to Xiao Yexiao's survival in this dark and terrifying supernatural world.
Shu Han has its own romance, Cao Wei has its own character, and Eastern Wu has its own rats.
Among the three camps during the Three Kingdoms period, the one Sakurai despised the most was Sun Quan.
However, he had to admit that Xiao Yexiao's current situation was very similar to Sun Quan's.
And he, Sakurai Eito, doesn't mind supporting Xiao Yexiao as [Sun Ce].
He can provide a safety net for Xiao Yexiao and lay a solid foundation for her, but no matter how strong a little bully is, there will come a day when he falls.
He is not an omnipotent God. No matter what, he cannot guarantee Xiao Yexiao's safety at all times. This is unrealistic and impossible.
He is not an accessory of Xiao Yexiao, and he cannot always accompany Xiao Yexiao like a shadow.
In the other world, everyone is independent and has his or her own path to follow.
There is an unknown adventure that is unique to you and is waiting for you.
So, before he has the ability and energy to do so, before he has the time, and during the time he is still traveling with Xiao Yexiao.
He doesn't mind trying his best to lay a solid foundation for the midnight snack.
As Sun Bofu, the little overlord of Jiangdong, he fought hard for Xiao Yexiao, who was just a novice Sun Zhongmou.
So...
【Gorgeous bar】
Convince the two powerful spirits mentioned by the bartender, and then make them the helpers and trump cards of Xiao Yexiao and Yotsuya Miko.
If words don't work, use your fists to convey your kindness and sincerity to the other person.
In order to prepare a [partner] who is much more trustworthy than the psychic Chi Ran Ji for Xiao Ye Xiao.
Especially now that they have a restrained and natural enemy relationship.
With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Sakurai was looking forward to what would happen next.
Can you let him...
Stretch your muscles a little.
So far, there has been no [Spirit] that has been defeated.
Sakurai yawned unconsciously and turned over to ride the motorcycle. At the same time...
The locations of the two spirits and related information have been sent to Sakurai's email.
……
……
Is this the place?
K cemetery, and then my goal is.
After looking around the cemetery for a while, Sakurai's sight finally stopped in front of a tombstone deep in the cemetery. There.
A man dressed as a sergeant holding a saber sat there expressionlessly.
Silently, with eyes closed.
All around him, hundreds of ghosts dressed as American soldiers were wandering around, devouring and gnawing at his body, all the time, every minute and every second.
"I found you. Nice to meet you. Hello."
"Sergeant."
He flipped the Aragami Fang and beheaded the approaching American soldier with one blow. Then Sakurai killed all the American soldiers around him cleanly and efficiently. After completing this step, Sakurai came to the sergeant with a smile on his face.
"Excuse me, are you interested in chatting with me?"
As Sakurai said this, he kept turning the Aragami Ya in his hand. The more than ten-centimeter-long dagger turned into a silver snake that kept moving in his hand.
"What... is wrong with you?"
He opened his eyes, and deep blue spiritual pressure wrapped around the sergeant's body, and he and Sakurai looked at each other.
"What's the matter? There is indeed something."
"But before that, I heard that you are immortal. Unfortunately, I seem to be immortal too, but that's it..."
"It may be a little presumptuous to say this, but—"
"Are you interested in trying it?"
"Comparing our immortality, whose immortality is better?"
"I also want to confirm what kind of unique power you, who is not a supernatural being but a [spirit], possess."
Flipping the Aragami fang, Sakurai looked at the sergeant with some anticipation.
According to the information provided by the profiteer, the man in front of him was an officer of the [Former Fuso Army] who had participated in the Southern Front during his lifetime.
It is said that during his lifetime, he possessed a healing ability that was close to [immortality] and could recover infinitely.
This trait was also inherited after his death.
After his death, his spirit reverted to his previous appearance during the battlefield.
By the way, the American soldiers just killed by Sakurai were the ghosts of hundreds of enemy soldiers killed by him during the war.
The resentment of dying at his hands made them follow the sergeant like a shadow even after they turned into spirits.
His body was constantly being eaten by the soldiers, but it was constantly recovering thanks to his immortal body's powerful self-healing ability.
No matter how powerful the damage and curse are, they can be restored to their original state.
This is also the reason why the other party has never been able to become a Buddha.
"Can you kill me?"
Looking at Sakurai, the sergeant asked.
"Who knows? I have killed countless spirits so far, and I have killed two of them, but I haven't fought a spirit yet."
"Not to mention fighting against a powerful enemy who is immortal."
"Maybe, after I get used to it, I can kill you."
"After all, I am also an [alien] with an immortal body."
Sakurai took a step forward, and kicked out the sergeant who was only one step away from him, followed by a clean and decisive finishing blow to behead him.
After completing this step, Sakurai raised his head and met the sergeant's gaze, unwilling to be outdone.
"Then come on, try to kill me."
"Or be killed by me."
The sergeant said this and drew his sword, pointing it at Sakurai.
At the same time, with the sergeant at the center, the bright red blood turned into a magic circle with a huge eye pattern.
If you look down from above, Sakurai and the sergeant are exactly where the pupil of the eye is.
Countless American soldiers struggled out from the blood and wandered towards where Sakurai was.
