Episode 347: Dog protection area 《Barrier》(Third Party Perspective)

Humans who are clearly not respectable are gathering near the Satou Family home under the cover of the dark night. They wear masks that cover their faces and wear jet-black costumes like ninjas.

They are the people of the organization that was present when Fuhito showed his success at ESJ, and they are people who are trying to take the power of Fuhito as their own.

They think that if they can take Nanami hostage, they will be able to freely use the power of Fuhito.

They're not wrong about that, but it's a question of whether they can really do so.

"Clear."

"From now on, we will invade the Satou Family home and secure the target's younger sister, Satou Nanami. I don't think there will be a problem, but please don't make any mistakes."

""Ha!""

When one of the members checks the area and confirms that there are no problems, the person who seems to be the coordinator of the entire unit confirms the mission to be carried out from now on and tightens everyone's spirits.

"Now then, let's start invading the Satou Family home. Start the operation."

""Roger.""

Arriving at their respective posts, they respond to the execution of the operation with communication devices, leaving the coordinator behind and invading the Satou Family's premises like ninjas in their black costumes.

But, what they don't realize is that there are those who peer into their existence far beyond the abyss.

The jet blackness sneaks up behind them without making a sound.

"Uuh ..."

One person who enters from the front lets out a small groan and disappears into the darkness. It is extinguished so silently that no one notices it.

"Ugeh ..."

The one who enters from the garden is overwhelmed by the jet blackness and disappears.

"Succeeded in breaking into the house. From here, heading to the target room."

Another man unlocks the window, and the man who manages to break in walks stealthily towards Nanami's room. However, the man does not know that the message has already reached no one.

"~~!?"

And in the darkness ahead of him, before he knew it, in his field of vision two pairs of floating red lights shine.

Leaving aside whether it is living things or not, the man is speechless in shock when he realizes that the two pairs of red lights belong to beings with egos.

"Mo nst ..."

Before the man can finish screaming, he is swallowed by the jet blackness that stretches from his feet, and his voice vanishes without reaching anywhere.

"Hey, answer me, hey."

On the other hand, the man who seems to be the leader of the task force calls out to the communication device in a low voice, but no one responds.

"What the hell is going on. When I checked, there should have been no abnormalities."

The task force leader is dismayed at the fact that he is unable to contact anyone other than himself. However, he is a battle-hardened man. He calms himself down quickly.

"Calm down. It's highly likely that some kind of trap was set. This time the operation is a failure. I'm curious about the condition of the other members, but they're also professionals. If something happened, the poison in their molars will kill them. I should withdraw from here and regroup."

Judging that it is impossible to continue the operation due to this abnormal situation, the man decides to withdraw under the supervision of an outside facilitator who will be in charge of the operation for the time being.

"~~!?"

However, it is something that should have been noticed before the intrusion.

"N, no way ..."

The man's surroundings are surrounded by jet blackness that emits red lights. Before he can do anything, the man is swallowed by the jet blackness and disappears.

All that is left of him is silence.

-Gigigi ... Gi~ ...

A few seconds later, the silence is broken by the sound of Nanami's door opening.

"Luck, what's wrong?"

Nanami comes out of her room and calls out to Luck's Kagema.

"Won!"

"It's nothing, you mean?"

Luck nods its head and gives a small bark.

Nanami can't understand what Luck says as clearly as Fuhito, but Nanami, who is able to understand Luck's gestures to some extent, comprehends what Luck wants to say and confirms it.

"Won!"

"I see. Yoshi yoshi. Good night. Sleep well."

When Luck nods its head, Nanami squats down and strokes Luck's Kagema, before returning to the room with sleepy eyes and closing the door.

"Won!"

Just as a finishing touch, the Kagema sinks into the shadows and disappears.

[ (Answer me!! Can you hear me!!) ]

The Kagema appears behind the man who is coordinating this strategy.

The man frantically calls out to the communicator, but there is no response.

[ (Damn!! You didn't get any results even though I prepared so carefully!!) ]

The man curses in a low voice without noticing the Kagema.

[ (This can't be done. I just have to go back and share the scarce information.) ]

The man quickly switches his state of mind and turns around.

There is a jet-black wolf grinning with its mouth wide open.

"~~!?"

Before he can say anything, the man is also taken into the darkness.

None of the people who tried to break into the Satou Family home returned safely and disappeared.

Under the surveillance of the Kagema, they are processed after all information is extracted by Rei.

This is the daily life of Luck, who protects the Satou Family home even before each power becomes active.
