In front of a residential building filled with black smoke, a fire truck rushed over and quickly started working.

"Quick, quick, quick!"

Amidst the shouting, the firefighters quickly got out of the car and performed their duties.

"How is the scene going? Have everyone inside come out?"

A firefighter spoke quickly to understand the situation with the people at the scene.

After learning that there were still people trapped in the building, he immediately shouted loudly through the loudspeaker to remind them of the precautions for surviving a fire, told them that the fire truck had arrived, and gave them hope to persevere.

At the same time, firefighters who were well prepared rushed into the fire to rescue those trapped in the fire.

Fortunately, the fire was quickly brought under control.

The rescue also went smoothly.

There were no casualties, either among the trapped people or the firefighters.

After the rescue was over, the tall firefighter who finally walked out of the fire took off his helmet, revealing his sweaty face underneath. It was Hitoshi Hidaka who was asked about his current situation by the intimidating ghost.

In this heterogeneous history where he did not become a [Hibiki], he was still engaged in the profession of saving people...

He became a firefighter.

Then, facing the crowd's thanks, he smiled candidly, raised his right hand to the side of his head, and turned his wrist...

"I am someone who has practiced."

After finishing speaking, the index finger and middle finger move forward together.

"Hey~"

At the same time, he produced a voiceover that made people laugh.

Instantly shortening the distance between the two parties, attracting everyone's goodwill.

Afterwards, the fire was extinguished and the firefighters began to pack up their tools.

Different from the urgency when they first arrived, at this time, they said "Thank you" to each other in a relaxed mood, and then boarded the car and left under the gaze of the crowd.

…

…

After watching the fire truck leave, in the crowd, a short-haired girl carrying a trumpet instrument, wearing jeans and a leather jacket that was easy for movement, looked away, turned around and left quietly.

She walked to an uninhabited corner, recalled the invisible patrolling Pan Shikigami - Akane Eagle and Light Onion Eagle, restored them to CDs, and used the sound flute to read the sounds collected by the Pan Shikigami.

After a while, she took out her mobile phone and dialed the number of Tachibana Dessert Shop.

"Du-du--"

The call is connected.

"Sister Xiangsumi, it's me, Tiangui."

Tian Gui, Wei Chui Gui's disciple, Tian Meijing became the title of the Ghost Queen.

At that time, Tian Meijing, who lost the motivation to become a ghost due to the weakening of her hatred consciousness, gave up the practice of becoming a ghost for a time.

But then, facing the approaching big snake, she knew clearly that once the big snake really came, the world would suffer unimaginable harm, but she had to stay out of it because she had given up being a ghost, and could only watch other people she knew well every day.

In order to prepare for the earth purification ceremony that can suppress the big snake,

This made the idea of ​​giving up being a ghost waver in her heart.

In the end, this wavering idea completely collapsed when he saw the powerful ghost returning from the battlefield with serious injuries in the earth purification ceremony.

The contrast between the master who was strong and confident in the past, and who was calm and calm in front of the demonized demon, and the loser who was seriously injured and in a state of embarrassment, completely losing his fighting power, created a huge impact in Tian Meijing's heart.

She suddenly understood... no, she really felt that the peaceful and beautiful life she wanted to live did not exist as a matter of course, but only existed because someone was carrying the burden forward.

Unsung heroes have always been doing their best to protect the world in unknown places.

They accompany death, walk with danger, and protect all the beauty in the world.

As long as you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.

However, I don’t know since when, Tian Meijing gradually forgot the dangers accompanying ghosts... In other words, because of the power of ghosts, because all she saw was the victory of ghosts, she gradually began to ignore the "ghosts".

, is not omnipotent."

Master can protect everything, even if she doesn't have her, it doesn't matter... Tian Meijing doesn't know how much of her previous giving up was due to the influence of this idea that maybe even she didn't notice, but no matter what happened in the past, now, she

It's time for everyone to wake up.

The failure of Wei Chui Gui did not make Tian Meijing shrink back, but instead made her regain her belief in becoming a ghost.

And this time, it is more determined and clearer than before.

"I will inherit the responsibility of Master Wei Chui Gui!"

Tian Meijing went to ask Wei Chui Gui to accept her as a disciple again.

This is also a major factor that encourages the bragging ghost to cheer up.

In this way, Tian Meijing restarted the practice of becoming a ghost.

On the day she became a master, Tian Meijing did not choose to inherit the title of "Awesome Ghost", but hoped that the master would retain this title and ask the master to give herself a new name.

Heavenly ghost.

This is the ghost name Wei Chui Gui gave Tian Meijing.

Time returns to the present.

Tachibana Kasumi's voice came from the mobile phone: "It's a ghost. How about it? Was it the fire caused by the 'train'?"

The train is a demonized monster with a ring of fire around its neck, the ability to spit out flames, and the ability to transform its body into the shape of a flaming wheel.

Yesterday, Tian Meijing defeated a "train" demonized sprite near this place.

As a result, a fire broke out in this place today.

What a coincidence.

So Tian Meijing couldn't help but come over to check it out.

Then, I don’t know whether I should call it lucky or unfortunate...

Tian Meijing replied: "I found no trace of the 'train' here. It seems that it was just an ordinary fire, not caused by a demonized demon."

"I see, I understand." Tachibana Kasu said clearly, "In that case, you should come back first... Todoroki and the others are also back. There is something that dad wants to talk to you about."

Hearing this, Tian Meijing's expression obviously darkened, and a shadow appeared in her eyes.

"Is it... that the demonized sprite has been appearing abnormally recently?"

"Um."

Hearing this, Tian Meijing couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Breathe...breathe..."

Then, she suppressed the surging emotions in her heart and nodded.

"I understand, I'll go back now."

…

…

Tachibana Dessert Shop.

Warrior Organization Kanto Branch Studio.

After getting a positive response from Akira Tachibana, Tachibana Kasumi hung up the phone and told her father the news - Tachibana Sejiro, the affairs director of the Kanto branch of the Warriors Organization and the manager of Tachibana Dessert Shop.

"Um."

Looking at the large amount of observation data on the sealed earth purification ceremony site on the table, Tachibana Sejiro, who had an uncontrollable worry on his face, nodded to Tachibana Sumi, indicating that he understood.

At the same time, the store entertains guests.

A man wearing a gray-brown coat and a gray scarf finished the kibi dango on the plate and raised his hand to signal.

"Pay the bill."

"Yes, coming right now, please wait."

Tachibana Hinaika, who was wearing the uniform of a waiter at a Tachibana Dessert Shop, served the desserts on the tray to the guests, and immediately came to the man wearing a gray scarf to pay for him.

Then, the man wearing a gray scarf got up and left.

When he walked to the door of the store, he looked back at this dessert shop, which seemed to be no different from other stores. A mysterious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then the sliding door closed on its own.

"clatter!"

With a slight knocking sound between the edge of the sliding door and the door frame, the figure disappeared.
