Chapter 106: Saving Nanami
Yuji bent his waist and gathered his strength.
Then, he blasted a car into the air and smashed it at Mahito, who was in a very bad condition.
Just as Mahito was about to dodge, he suddenly felt a piercing pain deep in his soul.
Puah!
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and his chest was instantly pierced by a nail infused with cursed energy.
Damn it!
It's that wild woman with the hammer again.
His clone and him were actually restrained by her.
She must be killed and turned into an artificial cursed spirit that can only hammer nails!!!
Not far away, Nobara put one hand on her waist and gestured to Yuji.
Then she raised the hammer and looked at Mahito's clone and said, "Oh my, is this the special clone?"
"How come you can't even beat a third-grade sorcerer like me?"
"Which one is more powerful, my [Resonance] or [Hairpin]?"
Yuji yelled at her, "Nobara, let's make this quick. Nanamin and Mei Mei-sensei are in trouble."
"Kazuma should be able to break inside soon!"
Just before, Yuji and Megumi, who had come to support had encountered Kazuma, who was blocked outside.
This area was still within the edge of the last layer of curtain.
But the last eye of the formation could not be found.
Suddenly, Mahito grinned. He gave up the fight with Yuji and turned to run to the other side.
Yuji looked in the direction where Mahito had run away, and his pupils instantly widened.
Nanami!
His target is Nanami!
Without any hesitation, Yuji chased after him like crazy.
This guy called Mahito has killed or transformed countless humans.
Now, he wants to attack Nanami!
I must eliminate him no matter what!
"Nanami! Be careful!"
At this moment, Nanami was dragging his heavily injured body, fighting bloody battles among the cursed spirits.
All that could be heard were the wails of the cursed spirits and the splashing of blood.
The distance was too far, and because of the soundproof glass, he did not hear Yuji's shouts.
Finally, with the last cursed spirit's head chopped off, Nanami eliminated all the cursed spirits in the subway station.
At this moment, he was almost too weak to hold his cleaver.
Looking at the pile of cursed spirit corpses on the ground, then at the watch on his wrist, he said weakly, "Working overtime… It's so annoying..."
Just when he wanted to sit down and rest for a while...
Suddenly!
A pair of hands rested on his back.
At this time, Yuji also rushed over. Seeing this scene, Yuji was completely panicked.
Mahito stretched out a finger, put it in front of his mouth, and whispered, "Shh… don't move~"
"Just die obediently, otherwise, the dear student behind you will die too."
The devilish whispers echoed in the eerily quiet subway station.
Then, Mahito showed a playful and evil smile.
He looked at Yuji, who was turning the corner behind him, and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
But the only thing that made him unhappy was that he couldn't sense any fear from Nanami?
On the contrary, he sensed relief and liberation?
Wasn't this sorcerer afraid of death?
Did he not fear death at all?
Nanami slowly raised his head and let out a long sigh.
He knew he would die soon. In a trance, it seemed as if he saw his old friend Haibara smiling at him.
Nanami tilted his head slightly and smiled calmly.
He said, "Yuji, the rest is up to you."
"Go help others."
After saying this, he closed his heavy eyelids tiredly.
What he saw before him was not darkness, but a beach as beautiful as a dream.
The clear ocean reflected the warm sunshine.
This was exactly the place he longed for—Malaysia.
A breeze blew by, and Nanami opened his arms to welcome the embrace of the sea breeze.
At this moment
The once pungent and unpleasant smell of blood turned into a refreshing and comfortable sea breeze.
Mahito's cold hand that was pressed against his back seemed to have transformed into a mother's gentle caress.
Time washed over him like waves on the shore, leaving only faint traces.
Tender memories rang in his ears like the plucking of strings, flashing past like countless memory cards.
I'm tired…
No more overtime...
This time, I'll give myself a long vacation.
Deadline... forever.
Memory cards flashed by quickly!
Finally, they froze on the beautiful Malaysia.
Suddenly!
A beam of light shone in, and Nanami slowly opened his eyes.
Then, a crisp sound resounded in his ears.
The last layer of the curtain had broken!
"I'll let you choose. It will either be windy or rainy."
A voice echoed throughout the entire Shibuya Station area.
"This voice… it's Kazuma!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their expressions lighting up with hope.
"He is Kazuma? How did this young boy break the curtain?"
Naobito covered his broken arm and stared blankly at the sky, where the curtain had shattered into pieces.
Naobito said, "Maki, this is the guy you said I'm not even as good as a finger of?"
"He looks younger than my son, Naoya."
Maki smiled and said, "That's right. You're not even as good as his finger. Naoya is even less worthy."
Naobito: ...
From the shadows, Kenjaku opened his eyes, watching as the formation's eye stone in his hand crumbled into dust.
"That's amazing…"
The last layer of the curtain that he had meticulously set up was destroyed, using such brute force.
He glanced at the Prison Realm beside him and fell into deep thought.
Now, he could be sure that Kazuma was the variable he had foreseen.
It seemed the plan that had been in motion for a thousand years would have to change.
At the same time, Mahito's face changed drastically.
Yes, Kazuma!
He abandoned his playful demeanor and was about to activate [Idle Transfiguration] in his hand.
Suddenly, a massive force slammed into his abdomen, sending shockwaves of pain through his body as he was violently blown away.
Kazuma patted Nanami on the shoulder and grinned.
He said, "Malaysia is beautiful in imagination, but it'd be better to experience it in person."
"How… did you know?"
Nanami's expression faltered, his voice weak.
He had always wanted to go to Malaysia but had never told anyone.
"You just said it out loud."
What do you think?
