That was the scene when I learned about the existence of Helheim under the guidance of my father.

Through her father's narration, she understood what kind of dangers the demonic realm named Helheim contained, and how it would bring unimaginable disasters to mankind in the future.

After understanding everything, Toyokawa Shoko truly felt for the first time in her life the weight of her own surname.

Noblesse Oblige.

Just as my father said, the higher one's status, the more responsibilities one has that cannot be avoided.

For the first time, Toyokawa Shoko came up with her own thoughts from the bottom of her heart.

What she saw in the past as just torturous training and learning, now had real meaning. Perhaps she was born to shoulder this responsibility.

An empty and hollow life gained faith and strength.

After sorting out her thoughts, Shoko Toyokawa disbanded the band she had formed.

Destined to confront Helheim, Toyokawa Shoko is no longer fit to stay with her friends. Her desire for warmth will only make her weak.

Saying goodbye to her past self, Toyokawa Shoko decides to embark on this destined lonely road.

——I am Toyokawa Shoko!

——If sacrificing everything about herself can fulfill this responsibility, then she will make the sacrifice without hesitation!

She was so sure of this that she worked harder than ever to improve herself, believing that "Toyokawa" would always be on the right track.

However, the irony is that the man who made Toyokawa Shoko perfect, also personally broke the mirage of "perfection" that he had built in Toyokawa Shoko's cognition...

"Crack!"

The sound of breaking wood brought Toyokawa Shoko's wandering thoughts back to reality. Her pupils began to focus again, and she kicked open the blocked door of the basement in front of her. The gloomy darkness behind the door was like a hungry monster, opening its mouth to invite its prey to enter and fall into its trap.

Without hesitation, Shoko Toyokawa walked down the stairs and finally saw the truth about the Angleberda Welfare Home.

Neatly arranged restraint beds, surgical instruments scattered on the floor, bottles and jars toppled over, oxidized and yellowed lab reports, and the inconspicuous black stains that had splashed into the corners and were not cleaned up immediately.

Everything I see is so familiar yet so strange.

The scene was so similar to the scene in the World Tree Tower Laboratory under the rule of her father that Toyokawa Shoko witnessed on that rainy day a year ago, as if the past and the present were overlapping.

"Father, what exactly does the Noblesse Oblige you mentioned mean..."]

Accountant Ishigami: Good fellow! He pretends to be so righteous, but I didn't expect that he is just a rookie who uses children for human experiments!

It's simply the sound of nature: this fellow with a beastly heart in human form is really not a good person!

Invincible Iron Fist: It is amazing that this kind of newborn can raise a child with such positive values ​​as Toyokawa Shoko. Sometimes I really have to sigh at the magic of genetic mutation.

Customer service Xiaoxiang: I thought this father in real life was already a jerk enough, but I didn’t expect there is a master?

Long-term vegetarian: I feel sorry for Xiaoxiang.

I even have the strength to move bricks: +1.

Basic reasoning: So that's how it is. If all the people on this island are part of the evil plot constructed by Toyokawa's father, then his motive for committing the crime is obvious.

[Toyokawa Shoko's gentle questioning of her father was destined to receive no answer.

Just when she was feeling sad, a green figure suddenly flashed in her peripheral vision. It was a very small primary alien, and it was initially estimated to be as tall as a child under 10 years old.

"Foreigner? No, that's not right."

His pupils suddenly contracted as he looked at the little alien who immediately shrank back into the shadows after becoming aware of his gaze, and the faint rustling sounds coming from the darkness.

Toyokawa Shoko's face became more and more ugly, and at the same time, a sound of breaking air sounded above her head.

"!?"

With a sudden shock in her heart, Toyokawa Shoko retreated to avoid the sudden attack from the man in black who jumped down from the second floor, and tried to keep a distance from the other party.

The other party seemed to have anticipated this. His purple eyes under the black hood stared at Toyokawa Shoko, and he chased after her and started wrestling with her.

"Stop! I don't want to fight you!"

After a few moves, Toyokawa Shoko grabbed the attacker's wrist and temporarily reached a stalemate with her, shouting at her.

"Please, let this end!"

However, Toyokawa Shoko's words did not shake the attacker at all, and he punched her in the temple.

There was no other way, so Toyokawa Shoko could only throw her over her shoulder and send her flying. In the process, she also pulled off the hood that she used to hide her face, revealing her true appearance.

The moment she saw that golden color, Toyokawa Shoko finally and painfully confirmed her thoughts.

Not surprisingly, the culprit who appeared before their eyes was Sanjiao Chuhua himself.

"It hurts, it hurts, Xiaoxiang, you are always so powerful."

Just like the reappearance of last night, this childhood friend who claimed to be here to pursue his dreams stood up from the ground, rubbing his hands, and a smile so bright that it was unfamiliar to Toyokawa Shoko appeared on his face.

"You don't look surprised. Is there some flaw in my acting?"

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko didn't say anything, just stared at her silently.

As Sanjiao Chuhua laughed, the expression on his face gradually became bitter.

"……Why?"

"what?"

"Why are you from the Toyokawa family?"

she asked.

"Why Xiaoxiang?"

She was puzzled.

"Why did you let me meet you at that time?"

She questioned.

The purple pupils were tinged with scarlet, and Sanjiao Chuhua covered half of his face with his palm in pain, with despair in his tone.

"I must kill you!"

Yes, she should have killed Toyokawa Shoko long ago.

When she first escaped from Angleberda and saw the blue-haired girl playing the piano alone, she should have killed her! Kill her, and then kill everyone in the Toyokawa family to stop the tragedy happening in the orphanage.

But she didn't do that.

At that time, she felt the resonance of the girl's piano playing, which made her dead heart beat again. For some reason, she gave up her hatred to kill the other party and chose to play a friend game with her.

Then, before she knew it, even she herself could no longer tell the difference between the game and reality.

This made her extremely painful, and what was even more painful was that because of her momentary thought, the families in the welfare home did not escape from that hell.

They all died, some on the lab benches, some turned into monsters that were no longer themselves.

In the end, even the people of the Toyokawa family seemed to have forgotten the existence of this place. The girl could only watch everything on the island slowly fall apart, and her inner guilt and despair turned her into a real vengeful ghost.

"Is that so? Do you want revenge?"

Toyokawa Shoko looked at Sanjiao Chuhua who was gradually becoming crazy. The latter put down his hand and the smile on his face became gentle again.

"Yes~ I want revenge, I want the Toyokawa family and the World Tree to pay for what they have done~ Everything related to them must disappear from this world~"

Whispering softly, Sanjiao Chuhua looked exactly the same as she did yesterday when she talked about her dream of becoming a singer, but the murderous aura emanating from her body and the apple lock in her hand proved that everything was different. 】

I have enough energy to carry bricks: It's over, the most nightmare episode. Fighting with Xiaoxiang or something, don't do this kind of thing!!!

Super High School Level Despair: Hehe, I love watching this! Quick! Fight!

Customer service Xiaoxiang: That bastard dad!

My sister's father: Ms. Toyokawa, may I ask what kind of person your father is in real life? Don't worry, I'm a policeman, I can help you!

Fenchanglong: Me too!

Sleeping Kogoro: Our detective agency can also do our part!

Barus: Damn it! I hope that Uncle Maori's reasoning comes true in this episode. How come this old Deng is not the final boss? At least I won't have to worry so much when watching the boss battle!

[“Xiao Xiang, you will help me with my dream, right? You have already promised me~”

Faced with the gentle request of her old friend, Toyokawa Shoko shook her head sadly but firmly.

"…I'm sorry, Chuhua. The World Tree cannot disappear right now. I have something I must do."

"Is that so? Then please go to hell."

"Ringo!"

"Transform!"

"Lock On! Come On! Ringo Arms! Desire Forbidden Fruits!"

The bright red forbidden fruit fell from the sky, arming the girl dominated by hatred into a knight holding a sword and shield.

With no intention of holding back, she rushed forward the moment the transformation was completed and slashed at the latter's neck with her sword.

But Toyokawa Shoko was already prepared and dodged the fatal blow at the critical moment, leaving only a finger-long wound on her face.

"Mr. Toyokawa once said that rotten fruit should be picked immediately. I think that's right. For this world, the so-called rotten fruit is precisely your Toyokawa family itself!"

The two of them, one chasing and the other fleeing, came to the forest outside.

Seeing Sanjiao Chuhua closing in step by step, Toyokawa Shoko also gave up her last hope.

"Yes, the Toyokawa family had no glory in the past. It was just a castle in the air disguised by lies. Except for an innocent little girl, no one believed those jokes!"

With her father's actions still fresh in her mind, Toyokawa Shoko's eyes flashed a trace of sadness.

"Until the end, I couldn't see eye to eye with my father. But even so..."

——So, what is your choice?

The sadness faded away, and the questions that came in the drizzling rain now gave Toyokawa Shoko new insights.

——My choice?

She closed her eyes, and this gesture of seemingly giving up resistance made Sanjiao Chuhua stop as well.

"There is only one thing he is right about!"
