“Wuwuwu…wuwuwu…!!!”

The roar of the engine broke the silence of the abandoned mansion, the dazzling pure white light tore through the darkness, and the steel chariot broke through the ruins of the house without hesitation and rushed forward.

Shizuku was sitting on the motorcycle, holding a big sword in her right hand, looking like a biker gang that was robbing and doing evil. It was as if she was a gang of thugs hired by the local demolition office, planning to raze the house in front of her to the ground.

And no one has been able to stop it.

This feeling is really... so great!

Looking at the big house in front of her, Shizuku raised Frostmourne and swung it down with force.

“BOOM!!”

The sword wind whistled past, and then the already weathered house collapsed with a loud bang.

Any forced demolition work will encounter resistance, and the Kuze family is no exception. As houses collapsed, several vengeful spirits emerged from the ruins screaming. They bared their fangs and claws in anger and pounced on the culprits who destroyed their homes - and then disappeared in the biting cold wind of Frostmourne.

So no matter how determined the attitude of the nail households is, they are powerless in front of the bulldozers.

After clearing out the resentful spirits of the stubborn tenants who were trying to prevent her from demolishing the Gate of Hades, Shizuku got out of the car and answered the phone.

"Hey, Crimson, have you found the exact location of the Yellow Springs Gate?"

"Yes, Sister Shizuku, first we need to go from the first floor to the deep palace of carving, and then we need to find four tattooed trees to open the closed door of the palace of carving... The first tattooed tree is located at..."

"boom!!!"

Shizuku clenched her fists and punched out. The closed and heavy door in front of her was instantly smashed away, then hit the wall and turned into a pile of rubble.

"It's opened, and then what?"

"...Please go all the way inside to the end, and then go down the stairs next to the cave to the bottom."

See, this is a simple, direct and convenient way.

Following the direction Hinasaki Shinkuei said, Shizuku rushed forward and soon arrived at the gate to the underworld. Unlike the Himuro residence and the Minamigami Village, the underworld passage of the Kuze family was not an underground tunnel, but a vertical 90-degree cave. In the center of the cave was a small wooden cage hanging, and on the wall of the cave was a spiral staircase going down. The torii gates were placed in the cave in all directions, which looked quite strange.

Shizuku leaped down and landed directly at the bottom of the cave. Then she followed the path in front of her and came to a half-closed stone door.

Walking into the stone door, it was pitch black inside, and you could hardly see your hand in front of you. But this was nothing to Shizuku, as she could clearly see that in the room inside the stone door, there were women covered in tattoos lying everywhere, their limbs were nailed to the ground, walls and ceiling by stone spikes.

It is obvious that this is how the Kuze family sealed the Gate of the Underworld through repeated sacrifices.

But unfortunately, that’s where it ends.

As Shizuku carefully looked at the room in front of her, the heavy stone door behind her suddenly closed with a "bang", and then a faint blue light flashed and emerged, and then a woman covered in tattoos appeared in front of Shizuku. Her eyes full of pain and resentment stared at the black-haired girl in front of her, and resentment and undead spirits entangled with the woman's body, spreading out in all directions.

"Thank you for your hard work, young lady."

Shizuku silently drew out Frostmourne and held it high.

"Although I don't know what you've been through... well, everything you've been through ends here, your mission has ended, go with peace of mind..."

After saying this, Shizuku tightly grasped Frostmourne and swung it forward with force.

"call--!!!"

The pitch-black sword suddenly swung down, and a cold wind suddenly rose from the ground, whistling forward. As the cold wind blew, the entire hall began to tremble, and the souls gathered on the tattooed woman were torn off her body like spider silk raging in the storm, spinning and disappearing into the gate of Hades at the end. Only the tattooed woman was still screaming, waving her hands vigorously, trying to resist the invasion of Frostmourne.

As she struggled, a blue light flew to the side of the tattooed woman along with the raging cold wind, and then turned into a man in a kimono. The moment she saw the man, the tattooed woman stopped struggling, she stretched out her hand and hugged the kimono man tightly, and then the two were blown to the end of the other side of the underworld and disappeared into the depths of the underworld gate.

When Shizuku put down Frostmourne in her hand, the bodies of the tattooed women who were originally fixed in this hall had disappeared. Their souls no longer had to continue to suffer pain, but could peacefully go to the other side of the underworld and fall into eternal sleep.

"That leaves only the last one!"

After making sure that all the evil spirits of the Kuze family had been absorbed and expelled, Shizuku once again clenched the Frostmourne in her hand, faced the Gate of Hell in front of her, and swung it hard.

For a moment, the earth shook.

The entire valley where the Kuze family was located began to shake violently, as if an earthquake had occurred. The mansion, which was already dilapidated, collapsed completely in the earthquake. Then, a large hole appeared without warning, swallowing up the collapsed house. Then, a mudslide rushed down from the mountain, completely filling up everything here.

When the vibrations died down, everything nearby, including the Kuze family, had been completely engulfed.

When Shizuku returned home yawning, it was already early morning. Everyone else had already woken up, and they were relieved to see Shizuku return.

"Sister Shizuku, you're back. Are you okay?"

"What can I do? It's so simple..."

In response to Hinasaki's deep red question, Shizuku smiled slightly and waved her hand. Then she looked at Kurosawa Rei - at this moment, Kurosawa Rei's eyes were red and her face was sad, as if she had just cried bitterly.

"What's wrong with her?"

"...We...met Miss Kurosawa Rei's fiancé at the end of the Yellow Springs Gate..."

Hearing Shizuku's question, Hinasaki Shinku answered in a low voice.

"Ms. Kurosawa Rei originally wanted to go to the other side of the underworld with him, but he stopped her and absorbed all the curses on her."

"Oh...it is true."

Shizuku glanced at Kurosawa Rei and found that the original tattoo aura on her body had indeed disappeared.

but……

"What's wrong with you again?"

Seeing that Crimson seemed to be gritting her teeth, Shizuku asked in confusion, and Hinasaki Crimson hesitated for a moment, then answered in a low voice.

"I...saw my brother."

"……Um?"

"He is still devoted to that woman! He abandoned me for that woman, but he still dared to talk about her in front of me...!!!"

At this point, Hinasaki Shinku was filled with anger. Of course, she felt sorry for Himuro Kirie's past, but this was different from her snatching her brother away from her! Go back to the man you love. What's the point of pestering someone else's brother?

Looking at Hinasaki Shinku, who clenched her fists, gnashed her teeth, and exuded a dark aura, Shizuku silently wiped the cold sweat off her forehead. If she remembered correctly, when she sealed the gate to the underworld in Himuro's residence, Hinasaki Mafuyu was indeed sealed in the other side of the underworld together with Himuro Kirie. Looking at Hinasaki Shinku now...are the two of them living a good life in the other side of the underworld?

“I also got to meet my great-grandmother.”

Hinasaki Shinku has obviously given up completely on this brother who forgot his sister for the sake of beauty. She took such a big risk and even entered the gate of the underworld to find him, but when he came up, besides asking about her recent situation, he actually showed off his newlywed life with Himuro Kirie?

If Hinasaki Shinku hadn't still retained a little bit of rationality, she would have simply used the phone that Shizuku gave her to seal Hinasaki Mafuyu.

"My great-grandmother also asked me to thank you... Thank you for fulfilling her wish."

At this point, Hinasaki Shinku's expression was a bit complicated. After all, in terms of seniority, Kurosawa Yae was her great-grandmother, but her form in the underworld was about the same age as her... To be honest, looking at Kurosawa Yae like this, Hinasaki Shinku was really embarrassed to call her great-grandmother.

Kurosawa Sayogi seemed to be very interested in the man named Sokata Ryozo who was married to Yae, and asked Hinasaki Shinko a lot about him - well, as for whether there would be any bloody storm in Huangquan after this, that was not something Hinasaki Shinko could interfere with.

Let the dead deal with their affairs.

After this, Kurosawa Rei finally cheered up and thanked Shizuku solemnly.

"Thank you very much, Ms. Kasugano. Although I did think about going to that world with Youyu at that time, Youyu said that as long as I am alive, he will never be forgotten... So I will try my best to live and will never let Youyu down."

"The dead are gone, and the living must move on."

Facing the serious expression of Kurosawa Rei in front of her, Shizuku smiled and nodded.

“It’s good that you can have such an idea.”

Anyway, as long as the result is OK, then everything will be fine.

After Kurosawa Rei's commission, everyone lived a relatively peaceful life. For Kaname Kirie, the Tokyo office was naturally not as comfortable as her own home, but she was now Shizuku's servant, and she had to do whatever Shizuku asked her to do. So even though she felt that this place was small and shabby, Kaname Kirie still had to succumb to Shizuku's "coercion" and stayed to work obediently.

"I'm back."

Hinasaki Shinkuen pushed open the door of the office and said hello, but unexpectedly, there was no one in the office.

"Sister Shizuku? Miss Kirie?"

Putting down her schoolbag, Hinasaki Shinku looked around in confusion. In her impression, Shizuku always sat behind the table watching TV or newspapers, while the newcomer, Kagami no Kirie, was mostly sitting in a chair in a daze. But today, both of them were not here...

"clang!"

At this moment, suddenly, Hinasaki Shinko heard a collision sound coming from upstairs. She hurriedly walked up the stairs and looked towards the third floor. Just when Hinasaki Shinko stuck her head out, she saw the door of Kagami no Kirie's room on the third floor slowly open, and then Shizuku walked out refreshed.

Seeing Hinasaki blushing, she also greeted her with a smile.

"Hey, Crimson, you're back."

"Yes, I'm back... Sister Shizuku, what are you and Miss Kirie doing?"

“We…”

Hearing Hinasaki's deep red question, Shizuku turned her head meaningfully, glanced at Kagami no Kirie's room, and then looked away.

“We’re playing a game.”

"Play games?"

"Yeah, it's a very interesting game."

As she spoke, Shizuku stretched out her hand and rubbed her fingers together. Hinasaki Shinku tilted her head in confusion, then she took out a letter from her pocket.

"Oh, by the way, Sister Shizuku, this is what I just found in the mailbox. It should be a power of attorney."

"Power of attorney?"

"Yes."

Hinasaki Shinkuen handed over the letter while saying this.

"It seems to be from an outfield village."

Then she opened her mouth to answer.
