Underneath the sword planetarium that imitates a sky full of stars. A short but, long, long time passed that seemed like an eternity.
The power that had been out of control rapidly regains its control. Even the sword dress spilled from her limbs like a dusting of powder snow.
「…………Ah……」
With a short, charming cry, her watery lips pulled a red thread, as if she was regretting her loss.
「……Sorry it’s not very romantic. It was supposed to be a prince’s wake-up kiss, but it tasted like iron.」
「………………」
「Well, if something like this can keep the power from getting out of control, it’s easy. I’m really glad it wasn’t General Bearion that went out of control.」
「………………」
The most top-secret of all top-secret matters that the Strange Insect Army would never normally divulge to the outside world.
The secret medicine entrusted to him by Zazoma was actually “human blood”.
A mysterious being awakening transforms a person into something other than a person. In other words, it is a departure from the human vessel.
Therefore, only pure human blood can awaken the “human” that lies dormant within the mysterious being. Human blood will make them regain their “human” way of life.
It is no wonder that many of the mysterious beings and demons in myths and fairy tales seek living blood and sacrifices, as if by design, regardless of the time or place.
「But damn, my whole body hurts. …… I guess I’ll have to go to the doctor for a while. I’d really like to ask Dr. Minato to take care of me.」
「…………Un……」
Minato was in a daze, just listening to the cynical Rintaro’s words. A lingering feeling, as if still in a dream, gently enveloped Minato.
For now, she wanted the two of them to be alone in their own world. With this thought in mind, Minato looked around and was startled.
「Where is this……? Or rather, what is this?」
「The throne of the kingdom of swords. Well then, now that I have taken down the castle, let me take the spoils of war, the princess, and go home. Do it, Minato.」
「Eh? Do what?」
「Eh?」
Accompanied by Gogogogogo…… noise, the dome of the sword began to crumble while making a metallic sound.
Even though they were halfway up the mountain of swords, Rintaro and Minato were still surrounded by tens of thousands of tons of swords above their heads. The time of the great collapse was about to come.
「Hey, wait a minute, Minato-san. Can’t this be done with your powers, just like Moses’ Ten Commandments?」
「Wawa…… There is no way I can do something like that! What does Rintaro think I am!?」
「A ha ha ha, That is a funny joke, you」
The blood drained from Rintaro’s scarred face, and he quickly turned blue. Seeing his face, Minato instantly understood what was going to happen next.
「「Nooooo!! I don’t want to dieeeee!!!!」」
Tens of millions of swords rained down on their heads as they embraced and cried.
………………
…………
……
The next thing they knew, the two of them were in a dark and confined space.
Hundreds of swords folded over each other like a tent, miraculously creating a space for two.
「……Are we, saved……? It’s not a situation where this is actually hell, is it?」
「……Ah, it’s okay now… These kids are protecting me」
Minato was convinced that it was no miracle that they were saved. The countless swords created by the Sword Mountain Mysterious being Swordminas, were trying not to hurt their mother.
Minato’s white fingertips gently touched one of the swords that decorate the narrow space.
「Thank you, you guys……」
For the first time since becoming a mysterious being, Minato expressed her gratitude towards her power.
Swordminas, the Sword Mountain Mysterious being, is an amazing mysterious being who creates swords inexhaustibly.
Ever since the day she awakened as a mysterious being, she had continued to abhor her power. A curse that causes harm to many people, despite her heart’s desire to help others.
The Hero Headquarters, which had noticed the usefulness of her powers, kept her locked up for two years. She was subjected to daily torture in the name of experimentation, and not a day went by that she did not resent her cursed power.
The wounds in her hearts and her abominable past will never disappear.
But surely the future will be――
Minato looked at the face of the man lying next to her. The scarred man had The scarred man was dull and dark as usual, but his eyes were looking forward.
「I can’t stop bleeding from my mouth……I can’t move my hands or legs……I wonder if this will last until help arrives……. Hey Doc, maybe some medicine for mouth ulcers or something……」
A thin finger was placed on Rintaro’s lips.
「It’s Minato. I want you to call me by my name now. Otherwise, I’ll call you Krillin for the rest of my life.」
「……I don’t think that’s fair.」
「Isn’t it okay to be a little cowardly? Because I’m an “evil mysterious being”」
Minato giggled as she said this. Rintaro’s mouth twitched as if he had given up on the idea.
「All right, I give up, Minato. I’m afraid that you would threaten me. Geez, You are an outrageous “evil mysterious being”-sama.」
In the cramped, stuffy space, Rintarō took a hands-up pose with his barely moving left hand. Lying next to Rintaro, Minato sat down and grasped his left hand with satisfaction.
It is not bad to be called an evil mysterious being. With this thought in mind, Minato clasped his large hand to her chest.
「Rintaro, I have one more favor to ask you.」
「What, again? One is not enough?」
「Yeah, not enough.」
The sound of Minato’s heartbeat echoed loudly.
「Just a little bit, Give me more of Rintaro’s blood」
The taste of blood that filled his mouth told him what the words meant. Rintaro stumbled a bit in his reply, then muttered in a small voice as if he had given up.
「……Just a little bit.」
「……Un」

The next day, Ark Dominion underground secret base.
An old man was seated in a dark-colored hall that resembled a dark esoteric cathedral. The old man’s name was Dragius III, the leader of the evil secret society Arc Dominion.
He had not shown his face even once during the recent disturbances, and was receiving reports from one of his three subordinate officers, Tagaraak, about what had happened. His face was gray and distorted with pain, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
「That’s Rintaro, the man I admired…… Gghh……Gunuhh…… haa, haa, haa……」
「Ooo, our Evil Leader-sama looking like that. Here, I brought you some painkillers too.」
「It takes time and effort, Tagaraak……」
Dragius received a medicine and a glass of water from the blonde-haired young girl, and hurriedly took the medicine into his mouth and swallowed it down in one gulp. His confidant and best friend, Tagaraak, in the form of a young girl, looked at him anxiously.
「……Phew, I feel much better. The effect is as immediate as ever.」
「This is just a delaying tactic. How long are you going to keep doing this? Don’t you think it’s time to get over it?」
「Kukuku… I guess I’m getting old as well. …but I can’t die yet until I see my lovely granddaughter’s sunny appearance.」
The granddaughter of Mayuzumi Ryuzo, aka Dragius III, the man at the top of the Kanto mysterious being world, is Mayuzumi Kirika, aka Drakirika, the darkness mysterious being who recently joined the Ark Dominion.
Although she had the title of a former hero, in just a few weeks she had become completely at home in Ark Dominion. This is all thanks to the support of Kuriyama Rintaro, aka Death Green, the heinous mysterious being who had been making a name for himself in recent years.
Dragius was well aware of the fact that Kirika, his adorable granddaughter, had feelings for Rintaro. It will probably be a little while before the two get together.
「Fuhahahaha, until Kirika and Rintarō have their wedding celebration, I will not die no matter what! Until then, Dragius III will endure any kind of pain!」
At that moment, the doors of the Dark Cathedral were opened with a bang.
The girl’s body, backlit and quietly making her way through the cathedral, was adorned with a pure white wedding dress.
Her skin is as clear and fine as the white of her dress. Her silky silver hair wrapped in a veil. Her sky-blue eyes, slightly shy and downcast.
Mayuzumi Kirika was wearing a stunning bridal gown.
The granddaughter smiled and gave her report to Dragius, who was taken aback.
「Leader, I have a report. I will be getting married to Senpai, Kuriyama Rintaro!」
「…………Yes?」
Kirika continued to say something, but nothing came to Dragius’ ears. Dragius finally came to his senses after Kirika had finished her report and left the Dark Cathedral.
「……………………Eh?」
「Fuh, Kukuku…… With this, you can die at anytime?」
A half-smiling Tagarack roused the stunned Dragius. Dragius sat down on his throne in a heap at the unexpected turn of events.
Dragius shook his head to compose himself.
「Uh, Umu. Isn’t it wonderful! Immediately hold a big celebration! Huh… fuhahahahaha…ha」
As a grandfather, he should be happy that his granddaughter’s love had been fulfilled. he was just a little surprised at how sudden it was.
Dragius’ eyes were gradually filled with tears.
At that moment, the doors of the dark cathedral were once again opened with a bang.
「Ryu-chan！」
As usual, a young girl rushed up to Dragius, her blue hoodie hood swinging. She is the youngest mysterious being in the Ark Dominion, and Dragius loved her like a grandchild.
「O- Ooh…… Isn’t it Samecchi. What is it? I know, you want some treats, right?」
「Ryu-chan, Samecchi is getting married with aniki this time, ssu! That’s why Samecchi come here to ask Ryu-chan to do nakoudo-thing, ssu!」
「………………Hoon?」
After that, Samecchi was trying her best to talk, but Dragius was just shaking his head like a broken toy. It was some time after she had finished her report that Dragius finally came to his senses.
「………………Eh, Why?」
「Kukikikiki…… Hyahohogeho！ Rintaro That guy is pretty good!」
Tagaraak was no longer struggling to hold back her laughter.
At that moment, the door of the Dark Cathedral was opened again…… softly and quietly.
The person who fearfully appeared was the central figure in Tagaraak’s report. It was Kenmochi Minato, the tall maiden known as Swordminas, the Sword Mountain Mysterious being.
「Umm Umm…… I-I-I’ve got a report for the leader……」
As expected, Minato has moved on, but she was still afraid of the evil leader Dragius. Dragius tried to smile awkwardly so as not to scare Minato as much as possible, and in a trembling voice urged Minato to report.
「What is it? Did Rintaro say something to you by any chance?」
「Eh, Ah…… “Yes. I’ll make the rest of my life happy, so trust me…” he said.」
Minato, her face bright red, fidgeted as she answered, holding the index fingers of both hands together.
「That’s why, I officially asked the leader for permission to join the heinous legion……」
「Ho… Hofu… Hogya… Hogyagyagyagya!!!!」
The evil leader Dragius III finally broke.
Minato tried to get help from Tagaraak, who was nearby. But the little girl just laughed “Dahyahyahyahyahyahyah!” like an old man and rolled around.
「Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiintaaaaaaaaaaaroooooooooooo!!!!!!!!」
The leader’s loud screams, which seemed to echo from the depths of the earth, could be heard everywhere in the vast Ark Dominion base.
