A few days passed, and the Shinoa Squad received orders to gather and prepare for the attack on Nagoya.
It was a day earlier than expected.
Before gathering for departure, Yuichiro went to a house to see the remaining children. They were indeed living normally, except that members of the Ichinose Family would occasionally come to teach them combat knowledge, preparing to train them for the army—of course, this was after consulting their own wishes.
But these children all wanted to have enough strength to rescue Mika and Luke from the Vampires, so they all wanted to join the Moon Demon Company in the future.
"Big Brother Yu, are you going to the battlefield?"
Taichi and the others asked curiously.
Yuichiro rubbed their heads and answered with a smile.
"That's right, I'm going to take Mika back!"
"Really? That's great! And you have to bring Big Brother Luke back too!"
When the children heard that Yuichiro was going to save Mika, they were all very excited.
Yuichiro hadn't told them yet that Luke was already a high-ranking Vampire.
Yuichiro solemnly grabbed Taichi's shoulders and asked.
"Taichi, Big Brother Yu has a favor to ask of you, okay?"
To his surprise, Taichi refused without the slightest hesitation.
"No!"
"Eh?!"
The emotion Yuichiro had been building up completely collapsed.
Taichi explained with his arms crossed in dissatisfaction.
"You can't entrust your family with anything before a war, otherwise you won't come back!"
Yuichiro didn't expect Taichi to give such a reason, and continued.
"Only you can do this. If I hadn't already joined the Imperial Demon Army and had to follow the rules, I wouldn't have asked you."
Taichi opened one eye to glance at Yuichiro and complained.
"Would Big Brother Yu even follow the rules? Big Sister Shinoa is always complaining that your rule-breaking causes her a lot of trouble."
Yuichiro was a bit embarrassed by the retort and scratched the back of his head with a red face.
"Ha... haha, so Shinoa talks about me like that."
But this matter was really important, so Yuichiro pressed his hands together and pleaded.
"But this matter is really, really important!"
Seeing Yuichiro emphasize it repeatedly, Taichi no longer refused.
"Hmm... alright, Big Brother Yu, go ahead!"
The other three children also gathered around curiously, wanting to hear what it was.
Yuichiro adjusted his breathing and then said.
"Taichi, as a boy, I want you to take everyone and sneak out of the high walls of Shibuya one day after the main force of the Imperial Demon Army sets out. I know of a small hole in the wall; you guys leave from there."
He said he knew of a small hole, but in fact, it was something Yuichiro had secretly carved out using the power of onikiri every night while training outside the wall over the past two days. Several times he was nearly discovered by the guards inside the wall, but fortunately, since he was carving from the outside, the guards inside were only a bit confused by the sound.
The children felt a bit strange about Yuichiro's request.
"Why, Big Brother Yu?"
Yuichiro shook his head.
"You don't need to know why. Just go out when the time comes and wait here. I've prepared enough food there for everyone to eat for a few days. Recently, the Four Horsemen of John have also mysteriously disappeared, so it should be fine if you're careful."
Yuichiro took out another map with two marks on it, representing the location of the hole and the location of the food.
Taichi took the map and nodded. Since Big Brother Yu didn't want him to ask more, he wouldn't.
At this time, Shinoa Hiragi's voice came from outside the house.
"Yu, are you ready? We're going to be late!"
"Okay, coming!"
Yuichiro responded and rubbed Taichi's head.
"This is a promise between us men!"
Before Taichi could answer, Yuichiro had already run out of the house.
"Honestly, we're definitely going to be late now. We're going to get scolded by the Lieutenant Colonel!"
Shinoa complained.
Yuichiro gave a sheepish laugh.
"Sorry, sorry, I'll explain to Guren. I won't let you guys get punished!"
"What kind of idiotic talk is that? We're teammates; even if there's a punishment, we won't let you take it alone."
Mitsuba sat in her seat resting with her eyes closed, giving Yuichiro a lesson without even opening them.
Shihō Kimizuki in the driver's seat also chimed in.
"Yeah, you idiot Yu, teammates don't draw such clear lines between each other."
Shinoa and Yoichi also looked at Yuichiro with smiles, the meaning behind their gaze self-evident.
Yuichiro was moved and said sincerely.
"Thank you, everyone."
onikiri just had to come out at this moment to ruin the mood.
"How sentimental!"
Everyone laughed as they headed toward the gathering point... "Goodbye, Queen Krul, Luke, I'll miss you!"
Ferid stood on the helicopter and waved to Krul and Luke.
Krul looked away from Ferid with a face full of disgust, while Luke waved back enthusiastically.
"Goodbye, Mother Ferid. I hope the next time we meet, you've already gotten rid of the Curse of Immortality!"
Ferid smiled and returned to the helicopter.
"That's quite a nice blessing~"
Because of the note intercepted by Luke, Krul urged Ferid to speed up and transport the main force over earlier, but many nobles still remained in Sanguinem and would travel to Nagoya with Krul and Luke later.
The helicopters took off; if one didn't look closely, it would seem like a swarm of locusts passing through.
After ascending, Ferid said to Guren beside him.
"Check if I have any trackers or listening devices on me."
Guren was stunned for a moment, then immediately did so with excitement.
A chance to touch Lord Ferid's whole body openly!
After a while, Guren reluctantly stopped the search and reported.
"Lord Ferid, I didn't find anything!"
Ferid straightened his clothes and looked at Guren with a strange expression. She had searched far too thoroughly! If he hadn't reminded her in time, she probably would have stripped him naked to check.
"It's good that there's nothing."
Ferid had a strange feeling of being watched before departing, but now it seemed he was overthinking. Given Guren's search method, no monitoring equipment could have escaped, yet the feeling of irritability in his heart did not diminish.
Perhaps he had been a bit tense lately.
There were only him, Guren, and the pilot in this helicopter. Ferid found a seat and asked Guren.
"Guren, do you regret staying by my side?"
Guren was startled. She was still savoring the feel of Ferid's buttocks and didn't expect him to ask her that. She quickly shook her head.
"No... no, I believe staying by your side is the greatest happiness!"
Ferid smiled with relief.
"Is that so? By the way, how long has it been since you last saw Shaka?"
Guren didn't know why Ferid would mention Shaka and shook her head.
"I don't remember. Isn't he in your Mansion?"
Ferid smiled brilliantly.
"No. Do you want to see him?"
Guren shook her head. She had always been jealous that Shaka was the one managing the affairs of Ferid's Mansion instead of her, so she hated him.
Ferid's smile became increasingly distorted, and Guren also sensed something was wrong.
"That won't do. You two need to get along!"
"Lord Ferid, you..."
Before Guren could finish her sentence, she saw Ferid's mouth open to an exaggerated degree, his teeth as sharp as a shark's. Before Guren could react, her upper body was swallowed into Ferid's belly.
Leaving only two legs behind.
Ferid picked up the two legs, opened his mouth to swallow them again, then returned to his original appearance and elegantly took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.
"382."
