"See that building up there?"

Yayoi pointed at the temple, her small face tight with focus.

"Yuto big brother, there is one thing I want to tell you in advance. My goal is to nab the divine statue inside."

"I need your help to keep Kishimojin busy so I can sneak in."

"No problem. Just be careful," Yuto said with a nod.

"I know I'm asking a lot, so I won't take any payment. I just want that statue."

Yayoi felt a twinge of guilt. Even with her shikigami, she couldn't touch Kishimojin. Yet this guy she'd just met was ready to step up and face the evil god for her. It made her ashamed.

"Yayoi, it's too risky for you to go alone. I'll come with you," Mei said.

She called up Misaki, letting her shadow merge with her body. Dark tendrils spread across her face like cryptic runes, wrapping her in a thick, black shroud of eerie energy.

"Hang on. Yukino, Trimmau, you two guard them," Yuto cut in.

Even with their skills, he wasn't taking chances. He sent the snow woman and his Volumen Hydrargyrum Automaton to back them up.

"Yes, Master." x2

Two mature voices rang out together. A gust of icy blue wind swirled as Yukino Mifuyu, the ring spirit, and Trimmau, the humanoid Volumen Hydrargyrum, appeared.

Silvery mercury snapped into shape midair, forming a curvy female figure right before the girls' stunned eyes.

Unlike Reines from Lord El-Melloi II's Case Files, Yuto didn't have her fancy Mystic Eyes. But with his Red Dragon magic and magecraft know-how, he could still shape the Volumen Hydrargyrum into a person.

The Volumen Hydrargyrum maid rocked a classic English maid outfit—gorgeous, but deadly, with a core of toxic mercury. As a golem made of magically enhanced mercury golem, Trimmau's greatest advantage is that she can shapeshift freely and is impeccable in both attack and defense.

"Fervor, mei sanguis! (Boil, my blood!)"

"Auton latopor lunquaerere! (Auto-targeting!)"

Yuto chanted in Latin. With a sharp pop of bubbles, the mercury maid's eyes flashed, her arms morphing into wicked, gleaming mercury blades.

Trimmau dipped into a perfect curtsy. "Master, I'll keep the young ladies safe."

"Good. They're yours."

But then, Yuto's gut twitched. He glanced up at a thick, suspicious cloud overhead.

Something was lurking up there.

…....

'He's got sharp instincts…'

High above, a man in monk robes, draped in a five-striped kasaya, stood on a giant pelican curse spirit. His shadowed face tensed as he pulled back his gaze, rattled.

'That kid's senses are unreal. I'm a thousand meters up, and he still clocked me.'

"Lord Geto, is he that strong?"

Behind him, two identical, pretty girls caught the rare flicker of surprise on Geto Suguru's face and piped up.

"Very. He's the one who took out that Special-Grade curse."

"What!? The guy who wrecked your plan?"

Nanako Hasaba, the one with the bun, gaped, eyes wide.

That Level 2 curse was Geto's pet project, groomed to hit Special-Grade so he could swallow it with his Cursed Spirit Manipulation. And now the punk who ate it was right below them!?

"Lord, let Mimiko handle him for you," Mimiko Hasaba said, fearless and eager to take revenge for Geto.

"Hold it."

Geto shut her down.

"He's got some weird power, not just cursed energy. You two wouldn't stand a chance."

"Besides, that's not why we're here."

His eyes blazed as he stared into the dark forest.

"That thing's evolved into a Special-Grade curse. If I can absorb it, it'll be a great help to me."

"For now, we wait. Let them fight and then we can reap the benefits."

….....

"Yuto big brother, cover me!"

Yayoi yanked out her go-to weapon, the 'Physics Holy Sword' (a crowbar) and bolted for the temple with Mei and the others.

At the same time, a massive black shadow loomed over the temple.

It was a dark spirit, pulsing with heavy, sinister energy.

Her mountain-sized body crawled with infant spirits like ants. Her face was mournful, but her mouth curled into a freaky grin—half-crying, half-laughing, and all kinds of wrong.

"Human, by trespassing my domain you're just begging to die."

Kishimojin's voice came from all directions, cold and inescapable.

Yuto didn't flinch. His magic flared from him like a tidal wave, kicking up a gust that howled around him.

"Let's see if you've the ability to do so."

Kishimojin's face twisted with fury.

A blast of dark energy rippled out, warping the air.

Boom!

Her wrists flicked, and giant black tentacles shot out like thunderbolts, roaring as they smashed toward Yuto.
