"Ahhhhhhh~~~"
The Hollow's wail continued, but at the same time, a crack soundlessly split open behind it.
I'm going to die~!
Although they had only come into contact for an instant, that instant had been enough for Grand Fisher to realize that the young man before it was far beyond anything it could fight. Staying here any longer meant certain death.
Fortunately, the other party had never taken it seriously. As long as it opened a Garganta, it could leave immediately.
Its wail continued as the pitch-black crack gradually widened behind its huge body. However, it was not large enough for the Hollow to pass through. It was only big enough for a human child, and that was the only way it could avoid the terrifying young man and secretly return to Hueco Mundo.
The mimicry of the little girl atop Grand Fisher's head was not merely an imitation of a human form. The mimicry itself was also part of its true body.
In short, both its current massive body and the "little girl" atop its head were its true body. Injury to either one could be transferred to the other. Its current plan was to abandon this tall body, transfer itself into the little girl's form, and then enter the Garganta.
Grand Fisher stared fixedly at the young man speaking with the mother and child by the riverbank, etching his face firmly into its memory.

The little girl it had thrown did not enter the Garganta. Instead, she plunged headfirst into the river.
"What?"
Grand Fisher's pupils contracted. It abruptly turned to look at the crack behind it, disbelief flashing
