After carrying Tiruna to the ship, I explained the situation to everyone.

I thought that perhaps, like with Rastor, she had been implanted with demon cells, and I tried to get Tirna to appease her mother in order to purify her.

'I can't do that ....... She doesn't listen to me at all these days. ......"

So it seemed that we would have to make do with the situation as it was.

The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your home is to make sure that your home is safe and secure.

If that's the case, then we have no choice but to use brute force.

I see. I'll go and purify them with my energy, so Tiruna can wait here with the others.

I'll go to ....... I'm going to need you to take care of your mother, Iguza,.......

Yes, I'll take care of her."

The actual "I'll take care of it." After patting her little head, I soar up into the sky.

Tiruna's mother was .......

She seemed to be moving in and out near the surface of the sea.

At first, I slowly made my way closer to her.

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

--...ZAPPAN!

Oops!

But the mother immediately went underwater, and it seemed difficult to make contact with her.

It was now a matter of one or two more.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

"Whoo-hoo-hoo! I transformed into my Hinokami form and dove head first into the sea.

The target was so large that it was struggling in the water.

Naturally, it would be enough prey for me.

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Here it comes.

"Ugh!

The mother wraps her long body around him as if to tighten him up.

--"Ugggghh!

It's a little too intense for mom's embrace, don't you think? ......

To be honest, every bone in her body is broken to pieces, and she's biting me like crazy.......

I don't have time to think about that.

"Ggagh!?"

I instantly transformed into my Suzaku form and clung to her body.

And then, I unleashed the full power of purification.

◇ ◇

...... here, is ......?"

We all patted our chests in relief as the mother slowly woke up.

The moment is the most nerve-wracking, but it seems that the purification went well this time as well.

"Mother, Ms. ......?"

...... Tiruna? What in the world is wrong with your face like that?"

"Mother!"

--I'm not sure what to say.

Tiruna cries and hugs her mother who raised her upper body while tilting her head.

But she seemed to have no memory of the time she was a demon, and she was very timid.

So after Tiruna calmed down, we explained the situation to her mother, Sereia.

Incidentally, Sereia was a mermaid, as I had heard. Her upper body was that of a beautiful human woman, but her lower body was a fish tail with a peach-colored luster.

And Tiruna is said to be half her and half human male, but how was she really born?

I think the form of reproduction is different in many ways, ...... but it is a mystery.

I am sorry for the inconvenience. I apologize for the inconvenience."

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that the two of you are not the only ones who have been in the same boat.

No, don't worry about it," he said. What happened to you? How did you end up with a demon ......?

I'm sorry ....... I barely remember it. ......

I see. ......

She is rather a victim.

I don't want you to look at me like that.

I was about to tell her that, but suddenly Sereia started to open her mouth, "But .......

I think I met someone who looks like a human woman."

'A human woman, you say? Are you sure about that?"

In response to Alka's question, Ms. Sereia nodded broadly.

Yes, there must be no mistake. It is a dim memory, but I am sure that I met a woman in black.

A woman in black .......

Isn't that her? The dodgy woman whom Iguza said he met.

I'm sure it is. I don't know if it's to get Tiruna to join the group or not, but she's being very rough with me.

You don't really think she's the one behind all this, do you ......?

He didn't seem like such a bad guy,.......

But if that's the case, I can't let her get away with it.

She put Tiruna and her family through such a hard time.

And I have a lot of questions I need to ask her.

Therefore, I said to the girls.

I said to the girls, "It may be useless for now, but let's look for her when we get back to Itur. If she really is the mastermind behind all this, I'll have to make her apologize to Tiruna and the others.

「「「「--」」」」

Naturally, everyone seemed to have the same thought.
