Koizumi and Konomi who managed to escape immediately met with others like Ako, Hinoka, and Anastasia who had just finished checking each country to look for the Grimoire that the candidates had kept.
"Where is Koneko...? Did you leave her alone?" Anastasia asked who looked worried.
"She's still continuing her mission of going undercover with those damn candidates, for now we need to track down all the Grimoires that Ako has thrown away."
"Ako, have you found everything?" Asked Koizumi until the answer he got was just a nod because he himself did not really know the location anywhere.
"Did Nobu really advise me to throw all those Grimoires at origin...? I can't feel any source of magic energy out there." Ako.
"Just calm down, Ako. Shinobu has already given us a solution to find the Grimoire faster." Konomi took out a paper she got from Shinobu.
"This paper is almost like a magnet.The paper is made from a Lenergy source that can track great energy magic like a Grimoire." Konomi held up the paper until it was drawn towards the Yuutouri universe.
"It turns out you threw it so far away that one of the Grimoires was inside planet Earth."
"It can be dangerous if we just let it go, we better hurry up quickly to end it and then continue the new task of slaughter!"
Koizumi and Konomi start going in different directions with the three of them to look for the Grimoire that pulled the paper, Konomi had given the paper to Ako until she and Anastasia and Hinoka started looking for it together.

Shinobu and Keith arrived within the temple of wind, the current weather felt quite refreshing due to the rumbling of the wind as well as the gust that moved his golden hair.
Keith put on a shocked look when he saw Shinobu's expression look so innocent that his golden hair had once emitted such a beautiful light until he started rubbing both eyes.
"M...?" Shinobu looked at Keith with a curious gaze until she saw herself beginning to misbehave as Shinobu looked at herself with her head slightly tilted.
"That's okay, your hair is hurt quite conspicuously until my eyes continue to be attracted by it, almost like sunlight emitting light in the morning huh."
Shinobu blushed instantly, "Anu... that is. My hair is like that.. anu..."
"...the hair of Koneko will definitely be another light source." Shinobu put on a shy look until she stared the other way until Keith could only chuckle softly.
"I love it, hair is one of the reasons enough to light myself up with my once very bad day." Keith said as he stroked his own head.
"Mm. I'm sorry, if it's too flashy."
Keith tried to think of a topic in order to talk to Shinobu to strengthen the relationship, knowing he had a more sad history than he did.
Because Keith wanted to protect himself up close by talking directly like eyes and saying something related to the proposal.
Beval had said that proposing to a girl would get a considerable blessing from Lord Erion, he himself had really fallen in love with Shinobu.
The last words he heard before wandering alone were from his mother to himself choosing the right girl and looking for the source of happiness in there until he began to clench his fists.
"Shinobu...!"
"mm?" Shinobu looked at Keith until his expression turned to be very embarrassed instantly until he started to look the other way.
"It's okay..."
"You've arrived." Beval had just entered the temple, he saw that the two of them were still acting as usual, interacting with each other.
"Are we just starting now? Ritual interfaith transfer." Beval began to invite them into a room that had many ancient writings and symbols related to the wind.
Shinobu could sense the enormous Lenergy within, not just Lenergy but all the energy sources of different races he could sense until there was magic energy from outside the Touiverse universe.
Shinobu gets a lot of references and inspiration that she has to write in her own journal, she starts writing it in her own mind to remember what she has to do after everything is done.
Beval began to sit on top of the light green magic circuit that was still emitting a tremendous amount of wind as well as magic energy, "I want you to speak directly with Lord Erion."
"Are you ready, Shinobu Koneko?"
"Mh... Koneko will fight." Shinobu nodded until Beval started meditating until his body slowly let out a light green aura that was so bright.
Shinobu will get a new experience to meet the God in person, he saw Beval opening both of his eyes which emitted a bright light green light.
He also could not see his pupils but the ritual was almost equivalent to summoning demons and demons, sacrificing a body in order to summon someone into the body to control it for a while.
"Pseudo yes..." Reveal Shinobu who gets another new inspiration until she sees Beval pointing forward.
"I am the existence of the wind itself... Lord Erion, Beval who has made a cup for me to use in order to talk to Shinji's last follower." Beval's voice began to change, sounding deep enough to echo.
"That's right, I'm Shiratori Shinobu." Answer Shinobu who mentioned her own surname until Erion looks shocked.
"It is not wrong again.from the hair, eyes, and of course the light that always comes out of your body without being exhausted, you are indeed a descendant of Shiratori."
"The shiratori with the line that passes through the Gods, unlike Shinji's younger brother Shukaku who has the line through Mortal, is pathetic."
"If it's not wrong, you also have a Comi bloodline...? That skin of yours, I can see that it's all the same."
"That's right... I can also be called as Koneko Comi, but I have no other attitude.just one, unlike Eternal or Alter-Ego." Answer Shinobu.
"You are indeed very suitable to be the next Goddess... The great goddess of light who can replace my old friend named Shinji who is obsessed with any challenge."
"...then from that, I want to worship you, Lord Erion. Make myself a trustworthy follower of yours!" Shinobu knelt before Erion.
Erion can only smile because he clearly remembers that he wanted Shinji to do what Shinobu did, one of his satisfaction was fulfilled until he started touching his head.
"God Lenergy..." Reveal Shinobu who felt the infinite God Lenergy source inside Beval's body being made as a cup.
"Then say all things related to the belief of the wind.may the wind bless you because freedom from the wind will save you."
"Wind will bring you into freedom where you cannot feel the pain and suffering of their hatred for you..."
Shinobu harbors her grief when Erion brings back her past and the suffering she doesn't want to hear anymore because it feels sensitive enough to her heart and emotions because the seal Kou put up was already broken by her crying by oneself.
"The eternal life of Lord Erion..."
"...there is no such thing as power without blessings and freedom granted by Lord Erion." Shinobu begins to worship Erion directly to complete the ritual of conversion.

"The economy, here." Call Koizumi who saw the Grimoire land on the ground, he began to approach it and it turned out that the Grimoire he found was the Grimoire of Ice.
Koizumi started to open it until her face received a puff of ice so cold, it was, the book when held felt so cold that every page that opened continued to let out cold temperatures that caused the region around them to be filled with snow.
"You need to open the last page to unleash a destructive spell on the Grimoire." Konomi.
"I'm trying to open all these pages one by one...! Everything was blocked by the ice so hard that my face could freeze!"
"Damn it! A shitty book...!" Koizumi stopped the time and burned both eyes with Crimson fire and melted all the ice in the book.
As time went on, Koizumi threw the book forward until the pages of the book released ice temperatures so large that they created ice crystals in the sky.
"Gee! You stopped time..."
"If I don't stop time then my body will definitely freeze, it seems like every Grimoire does have its own security." Koizumi again approached the Grimoire and stopped time to melt the pages.
Koizumi had already trained for six years of stoppage time, which meant that the duration of his time ability was now increased by five seconds with a total of ten seconds of stoppage time that he could use.
Koizumi hit the book until the time went back, the magic book touched the ground until it caused a lot of very hard ice crystals.
"It sucks...how many trials do I have to go to the last page!?" Ask Koizumi who started to pick up the book.
"Kouzumi!!!" Konomi directly released ice crystals through her footprint to stop the attacks that were released from the book.
"... ...!!!" Koizumi looked back with the dagger she had already pulled from the sheath, quickly swinging the dagger until it unleashed a slash of Crimson waves that smashed anything in front of her.
"Don't play rough like that, girls." The sound of a girl's voice coming from the white smoke, Koizumi stopped the time and hit the Grimoire into the sky and enveloped it with a red bubble.
Koizumi walked closer to the smoke and then she could see Lucia who had managed to withstand all the slash attacks using her own umbrella.
"Time is running again!" As time returned to run like a bias, Koizumi launched a slash that was instantly restrained by the ice crystals that came out through Lucia's cheek.
"Jeez, you're a teenage girl who likes to play rough first."
"Yes, so rude that I want to beat you up!" Koizumi struck the ice crystal using her flame punch and she launched a slash through her dagger.
Lucia fended him off using her umbrella and then surfed back while holding off another slash from Koizumi using an umbrella that was already open.
Konomi appears behind Lucia and she launches a stab forward but Lucia grows a large crystal from her back to hold it.
"Alright, I'll play rough with you guys too." Lucia raised her finger and pulled back the Grimoire until it released a cold temperature that was used as a huge aura explosion.
"You guys need to know an important fact.destroying the Grimoire of Ice is not something easy." Lucia says the Grimoire knows its owner.
The magic book was wide open with pages that continued to alternate, the burst of aura earlier caused half of the bodies of Konomi and Koizumi to freeze hard enough into crystals.
...
...
"Destroying the Grimoire is the first priority!" Shinobu Sweat.
"You guys have no chance of fighting against a god candidate who received a Grimoire, I'm sure they've all been proficient at using it due to practice."
"For now...! Focus on destroying the Grimoire!"
...
...
Konomi and Koizumi looked at each other and then they nodded in agreement to one thing: take the Grimoire that was in Lucia's hands and destroy it.
"The grimoire..."
"...is our top priority."
