Creeping.

　A shuddering, deadly air went through my entire body.
　When I turned around to face the deadly air, I saw a woman there.

　No, it would be more accurate to say that it was a woman.

　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find some sort of black miasma leaking out in some places.

　It's a good thing that you're able to get a glimpse of the eyes that can be seen through the long, disheveled bangs of your hair, because they are cloudy.

''Ugh, uuahhhh. ......''

　A moan like an animal leaks out of his mouth.

　Is it a ghost, or even a grudge ghost?
　He seemed like the kind of guy who would do that.

Are you erythronium?
Ugh. ......?

　A female ghost moaning in agony.
　The head turned - and the neck turned sideways like a screw in one 360 degree turn.

　After a movement that would never be possible in a human body, both cloudy eyes caught me.

　Did you recognize me?　-- and the next moment I thought.

"Ah "ah "ah"!"

　With a growl that squeezes out of the back of my throat, he gapes his hands open and leaps at me.

'd*mn!'

　Quickly, he flew right to the side and used his momentum to roll around the floor and keep his distance.

'Wait, listen to me!
Uhhhh!

　The ghosts suffer more, scream and jump at you, as if calling out to you and calling itself a trigger.

　I catch both of its grasping hands and fight back--.

''--!

　I stopped just before I got there and twisted my arm to keep my opponent off balance, only to slip out.

　Counterattack, I couldn't do it.
　A murdered erythronium.
　A dungeon that eliminates humans to the extreme, a nasty series of dungeons.
　And the grudge spirits in the spirit room.

　Sorrow, anger.
　It wasn't hard to understand those emotions as they manifested themselves in so many things before.
　So I couldn't fight back.
　I couldn't bear to do anything more to her.

　Three times, the grudge spirit jumped at me.
　Again, they teamed up stiffly.
　Then, they bit her on the shoulder.

''Ugh!''

　The moment her sharp fangs dug into the flesh of her shoulder, an unprecedented amount of pain shot through her entire body.

　Pain so agonizing and writhing that it pierced the flesh and stirred the nerve directly with a finger to mess it up.
　A pain that completely disregarded all statuses, penetrating all defenses and pouring only "pain" directly into the body.
　Somehow, it might be a one-sided assumption because that's the situation.

　It felt like this was her pain.

　So.

'I'm fine now.'

　She bit me and shook her head like a beast, fangs gouging her flesh, I put my hand around the back of her head and laid it on top of hers to gently touch her.

'I'm not your enemy, I would never do anything terrible to you. ...... never.

　The words didn't get through.
　She continued to bite me and shook her head, trying to bite off the meat.

'......'

　But did the action get through.
　I continue to offer no resistance, and gradually her movements slow and eventually stop, her mouth gradually leaving mine.

　From biting, we stare at each other at close range, as if we could kiss.
　The light of reason returns in her eyes.

'Really ......?'
Yeah, really.
"Really? ...... Really?

　He's like a child.
　A child, hurt, shrinking in the corner of the room.
　I looked straight into her eyes and said to her, without hesitation and clearly.

'It's true. I won't do anything, I promise.

　I stare at her.
　No, she stared at me.
　Poppycock, she stares at me.

　Speechless, I just stare at her, just staring at me.

　Eventually, the tears flowed.

　With a pouting face, the tears flowed out of both eyes like a waterfall.

　Collapse.
　That's the word that came into my head.

　In a different way than before, my whole body was militant.
　It's still much better to be crying out (、、、、).

　Tears like a waterfall while I was stunned.
　What on earth happened to her, what was done to her?
　Just thinking about it made my whole body turn milky at the thought of it.

"Mamoru.
Yeah, I'll be there.
"You'll be fine.

　She repeats the same words.
　Her ghostly body thins even further as her expressionless, tearless body grows even thinner.

　Gradually, gradually.
　It became thinner and thinner - and then she was gone.

　And there, where she disappeared, there was still an egg that hadn't been there before.
　An egg as big as toilet paper, barely fit in the palm of your hand.

　I picked it up and held it carefully in both hands.

No matter what happens, I will protect you.

　I mumbled an oath in the unoccupied genie's room.
