Chapter 5: The Descending Of The Devil King To DarknessPart 1

The time is 10:30pm. Shidou and the girls were in a hospital room in the city.

After the previous events, the Space quake alarm was turned off and people returned back to the city and school. Shidou and the group who were locked in a grapple, got scolded by the school nurse on why they did not evacuate before getting transported to the hospital.

Even though they were in a sealed state, the Spirits had a tougher body than humans. Even if it’s just healing wounds, they're much faster than a normal human.

Although it was like that, they can’t heal like Kurumi and Kotori so they still had painful wounds on their body. Having seen that, it was only normal for the school nurse to call 117 without any argument. Well, to Shidou who was planning to bring them to the hospital, it saved the trouble for him.

“muuu…………Shidou, I am hungry…………”

After being re-bandaged nicely, Tohka told him. Shidou made a wry smile and shrugged his shoulders. She had dinner just a while ago but, the amount served by the hospital was definitely not enough for Tohka.

“………seriously, I have no choice huh. But it’s already late so, it will be food easy for digestion. Should I buy jelly from the convenience store for you?”

“Umu!”

Tohka nodded happily. And when they were having that conversation, the other Spirits who saw that from the side [Buuu] were making unsatisfied voices.

“Hey Shidou. What’s the idea of giving the forbidden fruit to my kinsman after leaving me aside”

“Unsatisfied. Shidou is lacking the awareness that he is Yuzuru and Kaguya’s shared property”

“Aaah, it’s always Tohka-san, that’s not fair”

Yes. Luckily, it seems the door to the big room was opened so everyone managed to enter the same room. Shidou, Yoshino and Natsumi had no serious injuries but, since everyone had no home to go back to, they were specially allowed to stay there until they get the confirmation for an empty evacuation facility.

In Tenguu city, there exists several temporary facilities for residents to gather after losing their homes from the space quake disaster but since the disaster occurred in the middle of the residential area this time, there were many people who had lost their homes and it caused support to be late.

In the end, the area around the Itsuka house was concluded to be a disaster zone from a Space quake. However, it was only normal. Origami probably did it so that it would turn out this way -----since a space quake disaster was generally an explosion that occurs when a Spirit appears and when the AST and Spirits fight. It has not strayed from that definition.

“Alright alright………..I’ll buy some for everyone so wait for me.-----How about you two Yoshino, Natsumi?”

After saying that, he looked into the room. Yoshino and Natsumi were sitting side by side on a chair placed at the side of the wall.

No, speaking more precisely, both of them were closing their eyes and while *suu**suu* they were giving off sleeping breaths; they were snuggling by leaning on each other. It seems they fell asleep from the tiredness.

“Ahaha……..”

After Shidou’s mouth relaxed, he took an extra blanket and placed it on both of them. A lot of things happened today, it was normal.

And.

“……….Hn?”

Shidou slightly brought his eyebrows closer. He could hear a shaking sound from somewhere.

“Mu, what’s wrong Shidou”

“No, I thought I heard a weird sound……wait, ah”

At that moment, Shidou noticed the identity of the sound. Yes. It was the vibration from a phone.

“Is it from Yoshino…..? Now that I think about it, she forgot to turn off her phone before entering the hospital………”

Shidou scratched his cheeks before, *umu* making a nod. Of course, it was strictly forbidden to use a phone in the hospital but, that’s something hard to ask from a Spirit. It was Shidou’s mistake to forget about that.

“I have no choice……..I can’t leave it alone anyways”

He had no idea who was the one calling her but, it will be a problem if that person keeps calling if he leaves it alone. In order to turn off the power, Shidou extended his hands to Yoshino’s clothes pocket.

“Ah-re?”

But, the phone was not in the pocket he picked. It’s probably in somewhere else. Shidou counted on the sound of the vibration and looked around Yoshino’s body for it.

“Oh……found it”

He found the phone in the pocket in the inner side of her clothes and took it.

And at that moment.

“Hnn………..unn……”

Yoshino suddenly made a ticklish voice and slowly opened her eyes.

And after looking around blankly for a while, her face turned red when she saw him feeling around her body and his face was right in front of her.

“………..! E-errr……….Shidou-hyaan…….!?”

After saying that, her body froze while tears were oozing out at the corner of her eyes………somehow, it seems she misunderstood something.

“Wai…………, you’re wrong Yoshino! This is----“

And when Shidou was about to explain himself, Natsumi who was sleeping beside Yoshino woke up this time.

“Hnn………..What is it, its so noi…..s-y….”

Natsumi then opened her eyes wide and raised her right hand to magnificently launch an uppercut to Shidou’s chin.

“You, rotten fienddddd!”

“Hebuuu…….!?”

After Shidou made an odd shout, he got blown away in a parabolic line from the momentum of Natsumi’s uppercut, he then fell face upwards on the hospital floor. *Kan**kan**kan*! The sound of the match being over rang. He thought he heard that.

'shi-shidou!?”

Since Yoshino and Natsumi were sitting at the other side of the curtain, it was at a blind spot from the bed side. By Tohka and the girls' view, they probably saw Shidou suddenly get blown away. She opened her eyes wide and let out a surprised voice.

Shidou weakly swung his hand to tell her that he was alright before stroking his chin while slowly raising his body.

“A-are you okay, Yoshino….! Did he do anything strange to you!?”

“E-err…….Ye-yes. More importantly, Shidou-san is…….”

“Forget about that useless guy! I-I never thought he would do something that perverted to Yoshino when I was sleeping beside her…………!”

“Yo-you’re misunderstanding…..I just-----“

Shidou showed Yoshino’s phone he was holding to Natsumi to explain himself.

But-----he raised his eyebrows and stopped his words.

The reason was simple. On Yoshino’s phone's calling screen, he saw a familiar name being displayed on it.

“………………!”

The moment he recognized that, Shidou immediately pressed the accept button and placed the phone on his ears. He was well-aware that calling in the hospital was forbidden but-----his body moved before he was conscious about that fact.

When he did that, he could hear a familiar voice coming from the receiver.

“………..Hello, is this Yoshino?”

“------Kotori! Is it Kotori!?”

Shidou replied back in an excited voice.

Yes. What he heard from the other side of the receiver was definitely Shidou’s sister- Kotori’s voice.

“Mu….!?”

“Hou, she’s safe huh”

Maybe they reacted to the name Shidou said, the girls raised their voice. Shidou nodded to reply to them before focusing back on the phone.

“Shidou? Aah………this is good, it looks like you’re safe. How about everyone else?”

“Aah, everyone’s safe------I can’t say that but, at least they are alive”

“Yes. That is great”

“Rather, that’s my line. Where were you? Is <fraxinus>okay? I got worried since I couldn’t contact you”</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>After Shidou said that, Kotori turned silent for a while. He could only hear regretful breathing.</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>“Kotori……..?”</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>“-----Right now, we are in the underground facility <ratatoskr>owns. The crew is safe somehow. But……we lost. Completely too”</ratatoskr></fraxinus>

<fraxinus><ratatoskr>Shidou opened his eyes wide in shock when he heard the sudden announcement.</ratatoskr></fraxinus>

<fraxinus><ratatoskr>“…………Just like what I meant. We lost to DEM. The ship damage is over 30%. Running away after using all the <ygdd>was our limits. <fraxinus>is being repaired. The ship is being barely maintained by the Territory but………for a while, please start thinking that it’s not possible to use it like we used to”</fraxinus></ygdd></ratatoskr></fraxinus>

<fraxinus><ratatoskr><ygdd><fraxinus>Shidou lost his words.</fraxinus></ygdd></ratatoskr></fraxinus>

<fraxinus><ratatoskr><ygdd><fraxinus>It’s not like he could not understand her words. But, the word [Defeat] and <fraxinus>does not stick well in his head.</fraxinus></fraxinus></ygdd></ratatoskr></fraxinus>

<fraxinus><ratatoskr><ygdd><fraxinus><fraxinus>But, thinking rationally, it was something not impossible. <fraxinus>is an airship. Then things like this happen too. It’s Shidou’s own fault for thinking that <fraxinus>was a place with absolute safety.</fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></ygdd></ratatoskr></fraxinus>

<fraxinus><ratatoskr><ygdd><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus>“The <fraxinus>got………!? But, the <ratatoskr>realizer’s performance should be better than DEM’s………….”</ratatoskr></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></ygdd></ratatoskr></fraxinus>

<fraxinus><ratatoskr><ygdd><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><ratatoskr>“Fundamentally yes…………..but, the gap got quite filled in after the development of DEM new model-</ratatoskr></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></ygdd></ratatoskr></fraxinus>

<fraxinus><ratatoskr><ygdd><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><ratatoskr>That woman. The moment Shidou heard those words. The face of a certain girl popped up in Shidou’s mind. She has silky pale blonde hair and eyes filled with confidence.-----The face of the strongest Wizard, Ellen Mather.</ratatoskr></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></ygdd></ratatoskr></fraxinus>

<fraxinus><ratatoskr><ygdd><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><ratatoskr>Shidou probably understood the situation in the silence. Kotori made a sigh before continuing on.</ratatoskr></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></ygdd></ratatoskr></fraxinus>

<fraxinus><ratatoskr><ygdd><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><ratatoskr>“………….Well, talking about the past won’t do anything. ----More importantly, tell me something. Where did you go? Everyone being alive would mean that, they beat Tobiichi Origami?”</ratatoskr></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></ygdd></ratatoskr></fraxinus>

<fraxinus><ratatoskr><ygdd><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><ratatoskr>Shidou hesitated for a moment before making a sigh and briefly explained the events that happened a few hours ago.</ratatoskr></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></ygdd></ratatoskr></fraxinus>

<fraxinus><ratatoskr><ygdd><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><ratatoskr>About the fact that he got confined by Origami. About Yoshino and Natsumi saving him. And, by the time he reached the place the Spirits was fighting----he saw Origami as a Spirit.</ratatoskr></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></ygdd></ratatoskr></fraxinus>

<fraxinus><ratatoskr><ygdd><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><ratatoskr>“Tobiichi Origami turned into a Spirit…..!?”</ratatoskr></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></ygdd></ratatoskr></fraxinus>

<fraxinus><ratatoskr><ygdd><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><ratatoskr>Kotori made a voice filled with shock.</ratatoskr></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></fraxinus></ygdd></ratatoskr></fraxinus>

<fraxinus><ratatoskr><ygdd><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><fraxinus><ratatoskr>“What is going on? Did
