Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 111 Mission: 04-6 Spring Light and Shadow (Three Updates Completed)
On the other side of the battlefield, Souyo and Lenai were struggling to protect Aiyin and Deng, who were no longer able to fight. As for Riki, she was constantly shooting poisonous arrows to protect the two people who were fighting the demon in close combat.

"Please, Lantern...we need you!"

Riki pleaded with him, struggling to fight. However, his words only had the opposite effect. Takamatsu Deng, supported by Aine, could no longer suppress his trembling, and his heart became more and more panicked.

The fear of loss filled Gao Songdeng's chest, making her heart unable to utter even a single cry. She clutched the sapphire earrings tightly in her hand, her lips trembling, but she could not call out the name of her armed forces.

For Deng, this weapon represents so much. It's like the crystallization of Deng's wishes, like a mirror reflecting the bleak reality. Facing it is like facing Deng's own wish that destroyed everything, and facing the fact that he had messed up everything.

It’s like facing the ghost of “Xiaoxiang” who is trying to take his life.

The resounding song from not far away made Gao Songdeng's heart sink into an icy cave: "The things bathed in that glory are beyond the reach of our mortal lips and tongues—"

Deng looked up at the figure, wings spread, soaring and singing in the sky. Once upon a time, Deng had soared high in the night sky like her, using her graceful words to create destructive power and crush any evil that dared to invade the city.

But now, the one who could fly high is no longer the lamp. She has become an angel with broken wings, falling into the mortal world, her lips sealed and unable to sing again.

"Little Light——"

Deng looked to her side. Aine—her classmate—was watching her with worry. She didn't know why an ordinary high school student like her had come to such a dangerous place, but Deng was grateful. Without Aine, Deng, with her legs weakened, wouldn't have been able to take a single step and would have been torn to pieces by those demons in no time.

But because of this, the light should be kept away from her.

"Xiao Xiang" is already dead, unable even to rest in peace. It was because Deng had unauthorizedly sought to become her lifelong friend that Xiao Xiang's life was reduced to a fleeting meteor. If she continued to accept Aine's kindness, the moment Deng entertained that cursed thought again, Aine would be consumed by it.

So, we can't go on like this.

"Feel sorry……"

Deng used up the last bit of strength in his body, pushed Aine away with force, and fell to the ground.

Aine, already trembling with fear, had lost all her strength and fell to the ground with the push. She had just opened her eyes, rubbing her sore butt, when a bat-like demon, hidden in the night, silently passed through the defenses of the three Exorcist Girls and appeared above Takamatsu Touma's head.

"careful!"

Aine burst out with strength from nowhere and rushed towards Takamatsu Touma. After she rushed out, she realized belatedly:
Oh no, I'm not going to die, am I?

Regret immediately washed over me: Why hadn't I made a wish to Little Ace sooner? If only I had my own demon-hunting weapon, I wouldn't have to die here.

Also, if I had known this, I shouldn't have decided not to bother Nerolo today at school just because she looked preoccupied. It was so unfair to finally become friends with the brightest student in the class, and then die before I could even show off to others.

All these complicated thoughts occupied Aine's mind, making her not pay any attention to the bat demon - of course, there was no point in paying attention. Aine was just an ordinary high school girl, what power could she have to fight back against the demon?

Having encountered Samael twice before, Aine considered herself lucky. But this time, Samael was entangled by the demon with many names, which meant that her luck had finally run out.

There's really nothing I can do. If I can get lucky this time...

A black and white figure flashed by, tinged with a faint blue flame. The demon that had lunged at the lamp spurted blood in mid-air, twitching and falling to the ground. Aine, who had collapsed to the ground, thought for a moment she'd seen it wrong. "Samael?" A closer look revealed that it wasn't him. Samael was still engaged in a mid-air battle with a demon with many names, and had no time to pay attention to her. The one who rescued Aine was Kaname Rakuna, a woman with short white hair and armed with claws on her hands and feet.

"That woman is up there," Lenna replied honestly, clearly not understanding that Aine had mistaken her for someone else. Then, she tilted her head, as if suddenly remembering something, and pulled something out of her pocket, tossing it to Aine.

"Eh hey hey?" Aiyin caught it with difficulty, and when she looked closely, she found that it was a bracelet inlaid with pink sapphires.

"Little Ace gave it to me."

Lenai was as frugal with words as ever. After he finished speaking, he jumped up with flames, then stepped on the flames and leaped again, disappearing into the pile of demons.

Looking at the bracelet in her hand, Aine seemed to suddenly understand something. Then, she felt a slight push on her chest.

It was Deng, who was pinned down by Aine. She had rushed towards Deng from the beginning, so it was only natural that this would happen.

"Oh, sorry, I must have crushed you." Aine said a little embarrassedly and climbed up.

However, Deng didn't really care about this. She bit her lip lightly, with a tearful expression, and whispered, "Please don't... come near me anymore. I don't want to kill my friends again..."

Hearing this, Aine clenched the bracelet in her hand and reaffirmed the idea in her heart.

"Little Light," she said solemnly, "I will not die."

“Eh?” Deng looked at Aine blankly.

"Not only will I not die... no one else will die either." Aine's tone was so firm that even Deng Judong's heart couldn't help but waver. But she still shook her head and said, "No, no... My wish will..."

"Then just make one more wish."

Aine's words made Deng's eyes widen, and she asked softly in disbelief, "Ai, Aine?"

Aiyin smiled gently, took Deng's hand, placed her bracelet on Deng's palm, and then held it and her hand tightly together.

“This is my wish.” Aine said, “I hope…”

Her voice was like thunder in spring, shattering the layers of ice in Deng's heart and allowing the warm sunlight to reach deep into Deng's heart.

"I hope I can protect myself, Xiao Deng, and all my friends from all accidents and dangers!"

In an instant, a warm light emanated from their clasped palms. Aine finally learned the name of her demon hunting weapon.

"Almathea!"

　I finished it without any problems! By the way, let me ask you here, do you think it is necessary to set up a reader group? I feel that if there are not many people, there may be no point in setting up a group and no one will talk.
