The Knight of the Second Generation of Demons Re-enacts

Thinking of the banana man and the muscular uncle's stubborn behavior, both of them had distorted expressions on their faces, as if they had found half a worm in their fruit.

Nagasaki Suyo sighed for the second time. As smart as she was, there was nothing she could do about those two people. However, when she proposed to slow down the progress, she had already taken this factor into consideration.

"As long as we can slow down the progress over there a little bit, I have some ways to continue investigating here. All we need is time."

"Eh! Really?"

Hearing what Nagasaki Motoyo said, Kousaka Honoka was overjoyed.

She felt that Nagasaki Suyo was so reliable.

Whether it was the previous Bat-Alien incident or this time's Lock Species Game, each time it was Nagasaki Motoyo who made plans behind the scenes to achieve results again and again, so she believed without much thought that the other party had a way to continue the investigation.

"Is there anything I can help you with? You can leave anything to me!"

"Well... I'll trouble you, Honoka, to try to stop the fights between other armored knights during this time. We really need time now."

"I know, leave it to me!"

……

Perspective shift.

Minami Kotori, who was pissed off by the two, was in an even worse mood after she found out that the wooden person, Honoka Kousaka, actually did not come out to chase her.

In fact, the real reason why Minami Kotori was angry was not only because the two of them acted without authorization, but also because for some reason, she always felt an inexplicable worry in her heart.

She had a vague feeling that the more she became involved with the forest, the more unfortunate everyone would become.

But this was just an unfounded feeling. On the surface, Kousaka Honoka and the others were looking for the missing Sonoda Umi, and they had the armored knight's power to protect themselves. Minami Kotori, who knew nothing about the forest, could not find any reason to stop them from going to the forest.

"Stupid Honoka! Just live with your driver for the rest of your life! And Suyo is also a fool, actually fooling around with stupid Honoka!"

He vented his anger by kicking a small stone at his feet. When Nan Xiaoniao moved her eyes along the trajectory of the flying stone, a dark red figure suddenly came into view.

"Oh no, be careful..."

"Snapped!"

Without looking back, he felt the sound of breaking air behind him. The figure reached back casually and caught the stone directly in the palm of his hand.

Qi Wen Jiedou shook the stone in his hand, and his fierce eyes glared behind him, but they subsided a little when he saw Minami Kotori still had a cute frightened face.

"It is you."

Throwing the stone away casually, Qi Wen Jie Dou turned around with his hands in his pockets and looked at the World Tree Tower in the distance.

"I'm fine, let's go."

"What are you going to do?"

Ignoring Qi Wen Jie Dou's aloof temperament, Nan Xiaoniao hurried over and forcibly pulled his hand out of his pocket to check it.

The whole time, Qu Wen Jie Dou's brows twitched wildly. He wanted to pull his hand back but didn't dare to use too much force. The aura of deep hatred and bitterness that he had originally accumulated was immediately broken. 】

It's just heavenly music: Oh! What a fussy Arrogant!

The dead fish eyes of the Great Sensei: I still like your original rebellious look, please change back to it.

Gaming: Meh! This idiot can't even beat a woman now. He's in such a bad situation.

Nan Daniao: Hehe~ It seems that this guy is being eaten alive by my daughter~

Sessile Bird: Mom!?

Father Mapo: He is not as lucky as Honoka Kosaka, not as good as Shoko Toyokawa in fighting, not as smart as Suzuya Nagasaki, and now even his normal state is suppressed by Minami Kotori. He can't even hold his head up in front of a woman (I'm sure)! This Kaito is just lame!

Saint Magdalene: So you are very brave?

Fruit King: This damned banana, isn't the discrimination a bit too serious? If I were to go there, I probably wouldn't even be able to pull my hand out.

Guichu Kazuma: I’m so envious, why can he be so close to beautiful girls, but I can only sleep in the same bed with an old man?

Emperor: I think the fact that Qu Wen Jie Dou slept on the sofa was definitely intentional by Miss Junchuan. No matter how you think about it, it is more reasonable to let the larger Huang Lian sleep on the sofa!

Green Devil: It's an illusion. It's an illusion.

Galaxy-Eyes Airi Tachyon: You don’t even try on your strongest protozoan outfit!

Emperor's Dance Steps: There is no other way. If I were in his place, I would do the same.jpg

Chairman Treson: Gaim is in such a predicament now, Tsuna, quickly use your invincible Time-Up to think of a solution!

[After a careful inspection, Minami Kotori breathed a sigh of relief when she found that there were really no injuries on the other party's hands, and then she began to pay attention to the surrounding environment.

"here it is?"

The place where Qu Wen Jie Dou was standing now was a large open space. There was nothing in the surrounding area of ​​nearly 100 meters. It seemed a bit abrupt in the Zeya City with tall buildings. Looking at this man standing here, Nan Xiaoniao felt lonely and desolate.

But at the same time, she felt that the surroundings looked somewhat familiar, and after trying to recall for a while, she seemed to have thought of something.

"Ah! I have some impression of this place. Was it a shrine located in the woods before?"

"Ok?"

Nan Xiaoniao's soft exclamation attracted the attention of Qi Wen Jiedou. He looked at Nan Xiaoniao strangely, as if he was very surprised that the other party knew about this.

"Yes, this was indeed a shrine dedicated to the sacred tree, but it was razed to the ground by the World Tree Consortium nearly 10 years ago. How did you know this?"

Minami Kotori was also very curious about this, and she tried hard to recall it.

Deep in her mind, the image of three young girls playing and fighting under a huge tree flashed by, and with this feeling, she recalled some things from the past.

"I seem to have played here with Hono-chan, Umi-chan, and I before. It seems like my mother's friend invited her to come here for vacation or something..."

——No, wait, are there really only three of us?

In her vague memories, Minami Xiaoniao always felt that there seemed to be more than three people. They seemed to have played with several local children. However, the time was too long ago and she could no longer remember the faces and number of those children.

Compared to Minami Kotori's confusion, Qu Wen Jie Dou seemed to have thought of something. The look in his eyes when he looked at Minami Kotori became very strange, and a scene very similar to Minami Kotori's memory emerged in his mind.

The only difference is that there are two small figures, one black and one red, standing not far from Honoka Kousaka who is giggling on the tree and Umi Sonoda and Kotori Minami who are looking at her worriedly from below. 】

Zunsi: What!? The setting of a plum blossom falling from the sky? Too strong, isn’t the Banana Bird CP sure to win this time?

Nan Dayiao: Ah la la ~

Throbbing Warrior: It's still early! Don't forget, the three veterans of the Gaim Team are theoretically destined to be sweethearts!

Accountant Ishigami: So, may I ask, did Kai Sonoda have a chance to run on the track?

Hai Ye: 6.

[Of course, this strange look came and went quickly, and was not noticed by Minami Kotori who was in deep thought.

Although he was a little surprised by the ill-fated relationship between himself and the Gaim Team, after all, they had not even known each other's names. At best, they were just casual acquaintances who played together. Since the other party no longer remembered it, Qiwen Jiedou had no intention of pointing it out.

"Hmph. That's the principle."

Pulling his hand out of Minami Kotori's grip, Qiwen Jiedou shifted his gaze away from Minami Kotori's face, pretending nothing had happened and continuing to put his hands in his pockets, looking around the deserted space.

"This shrine is a place I often visited when I was a child. It is the place that impressed me the most, besides the factory in the old man's movie that has been turned into a commercial street, so I come here occasionally."

"Hey~ Does that mean that for Kaito, this is a precious place full of memories?"

Hearing him say this, Minami Kotori's attention was immediately pulled back to reality from her memories. She looked at him with some surprise, curious that he could actually say such sad lines.

However, Qu Wen Jie Dou's next sentence proved that she had thought of it. Reminiscing about the past was a word that would never appear in his dictionary.

"Humph, on the contrary, this place is nothing but the remnants of memory. Looking at this piece of ruins with nothing left, all I can get is a heart full of anger and hatred."

Looking up again, Qiwen Jiedou no longer concealed his emotions, and his eyes were burning with hatred as he looked towards the World Tree Tower.

"The reason why I come here occasionally is just to remember this feeling more deeply and turn it into nourishment for me to become stronger."

"But in this case..."

After hearing this, Minami Kotori's eyes couldn't help but become sad, and the tightness in her chest she felt when she learned that Kousaka Honoka and Nagasaki Motoyo had gone on an adventure without telling her resurfaced.

She covered her chest and looked at the profile of Qiwen Jiedou.

"Wouldn't you feel lonely if you did that?"

Turning around and looking into Minami Kotori's beautiful eyes, Qu Wen Jiedou wanted to say "It's none of your business" like he would to other people, but the straightforward and sincere concern made him stop when the words were on the tip of his tongue.

When I came to my senses, the words that came out of my mouth had become something else.

"Is this the naive idea of ​​working together with everyone again? I told you, if you want to refute me, then show me how to win in the end."

Feeling that if he stayed any longer, the anger in his heart might even subside, Qi Wen Jie Dou waved his hand, turned around and started walking away.

"Humph, now our Gaim Team is number one!"

"..."

Looking at Qi Wen Jie Dou who staggered because of her counterattack, Nan Xiaoniao forced a smile on her face and shouted loudly at his back.

"I think memories are not wreckage, but treasure chests, Jiedou! Even if the form has changed, some things will never change. I will prove it to you! With our dance and victory!"

Watching Qi Wen Jiedou leave, and communicating with him, Minami Kotori's originally depressed mood somehow improved a little, and she also had the idea of ​​going back to talk with Kousaka Honoka and the others.

——Yes, if we are all together, it will definitely be possible!

"Is that really the case?"

"!?"

The familiar yet unfamiliar voice sent a chill down Minami Kotori's spine. She immediately turned around and looked behind her, only to see a blonde girl with the same face as her standing there, looking at her with sorrow and worry.

What shocked her even more was that this holy girl with blonde hair and white clothes seemed to have just responded to her inner thoughts.

"Who are you?"

"You now have many destinies to choose from."

As usual, there was no way to form a dialogue. The blonde girl, like in the previous times, just spoke unilaterally as if no one was around.

"Leave this city, cut off ties with Kousaka Honoka and Kimon Kaito, and embark on a completely different life from your current one. If you do this, you can still have a different future."

"Um, sorry. I don't understand what you are saying at all..."

Minami Kotori was at a loss. The words spoken by this girl who looked exactly like her were so mysterious that she lost all her fear.

Seeing her like this, the blonde girl's expression seemed to be confused for a moment, but in the blink of an eye, Minami Kotori only felt a flash before her eyes, and the girl's face returned to the compassion she had at the beginning.

"Make your choice quickly, before it's too late."

"Who knows what you're talking about?"
