"Aba..."
At that moment,
the mini, old man with a strong sense of perception, sitting next to the steering wheel of the ghostly Mazda, could see a smoke-like, ethereal white figure swirling behind the short-haired man.
The figure was extending its hands, gripping the handle of the ritual hammer together with Nagatomo Masao.
Beep—
Toshima Oishi lightly pressed the horn, "Um... Nagatomo, aren't you getting in the car?"
"I'm going to help Usamaru. I can't let Kamiya's efforts be in vain. Since he wants to save as many living people here as possible, I'll help him. Saving even one more person matters."
On the elongated ritual hammer left by the creature with long arms and legs, it seemed to contain a power not possessed by ordinary objects in the real world; with it in hand, Nagatomo appeared to have much more confidence than when he was unarmed.
