Editing The Unexplored Summon Blood Sign:Volume6 Chapter1 (section)

===Part 6===

Everything was ready.

Kyousuke checked on his Blood-Sign, counted how many Incense Grenades he had on hand, and waited for his new vessel to stand by his side. He looked around the room and stuck the tip of his Blood-Sign toward the remains of a destroyed table scattered across the floor. He caught something on it and tossed it to Sekurtiti.

It looked like the rectangular case for mint tablets, but it was not. It was a pedometer with a digital counter.

“?”

“Attach this at your waist. It can work as a restraint. Beauty and health can easily provide mental bonds, especially for women. If you don’t want to have your body hijacked by unwanted evil and vengeful spirits, I recommend physically creating a mental switch.”

“I see.”

She nodded and obediently attached the pedometer’s clip to a knot she had tied when putting the bandages back on after showing them the ancient map earlier. The bandages may have come undone easily, so she wanted something to reinforce the knot.

Meanwhile, Blonde Shrine Maiden Higan was blushing a bright red and covering her face with her hands.

“O-oh, no… Was I, um, like that too when I did it…?”

“Hmm. It’s different for everyone, but…yeah, I think you’re on the lewder end of the spectrum, Higan.”

“…!!!???”

“Ha ha ha. I hate to interrupt you when you’re blushing, squeezing your eyes shut, and lightly hitting me, but this really isn’t the time. …Okay, you have your vessel and can move freely. So what are we supposed to do? You said you had something for us to do, right? Who do we have to fight!?”

Bridesmaid was not just going to wait around. And if they let the enemy keep the initiative, they would have less of a chance to enact their plan. Kyousuke was honestly glad that Renge and Higan had made the offer themselves.

And so he did not hesitate to ask for their assistance.

“Right. Renge and Higan, you two come here. You’ll be my sparring partner.”

“What?”

“…Sparring? Eh?”

The twin shrine maidens looked baffled, so Kyousuke pointed overhead.

“I said I would be using a Material to send rubble down into the ocean, right?”

“U-um, uh, Shiroyama-san, you mean, um…”

“Didn’t something seem odd about this plan? I can’t summon a Material without an opponent. But I can’t exactly use a being greater than the gods on a normal tomb keeper or an unconscious enemy soldier. They could literally be smashed to pieces. I needed a summoner who can actually summon a Material.”

“You don’t mean…”

Renge had a very bad feeling about this, but as Kyousuke continued speaking, he grabbed Higan’s arm. Sekurtiti realized what he meant and grabbed Renge’s arm.

For some reason, the Tomb Priestess’s eyes were sparkling like a child’s.

“This is the true romance of pyramids. To finish off the loathsome tomb raiders with a false ceiling or boulder trap, you must first lure them in with the glitter of gold and silver. You must use treasure as bait.”

“Wha-? Eh? Wait…not so close!”

Renge lost to the pressure of the smile in front of her and sought help from elsewhere. And Kyousuke did not discriminate. As long as the conditions were right, he would get anyone involved regardless of age or sex.

And so that bastard spoke with a smile.

“Don’t worry. Even if you’re defeated, it only means 24 hours in a mindless trance. It’s not like you’ll die.”

“Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!?”
