Enju’s bodyguards immediately attacked. They had been ready for an assault, so they didn’t hesitate for an instant. Consecrated bullets and blessed blades rained down on the thing that tried to appear beside the girl, but they didn’t so much as slow it down. Bullets struck the arms and legs that appeared, but to no avail, passing through harmlessly.

Pulling Enju back, her bodyguards positioned themselves between her and the black ellipse as a person slowly rose up out of it. It was a boy wearing a robe made from a single piece of white cloth, styled as if he were some sort of holy person.

“Come on, stop wasting your time.” The being who had appeared a year ago, calling itself the Judge, now looked down on Enju with disappointment. “No matter how much you attack me, it won’t hurt, but it’ll be hard to talk with all that noise around us. I’m going to have to ask you to stop.”

The moment he said those words, Enju’s bodyguards froze in place, unable to move.

...

“Hm? And why should I do anything you tell me to?”

“Okay, then die.”

At Yogiri’s command, the Judge collapsed.
