The Knight of the Second Generation of Demons Re-enacts

"You seem very happy, Doctor."

Maki Nishikino looked at Mobius's smiling face calmly. Even as a close assistant, she sometimes could not understand her own doctor's thoughts.

She had thought that, given Dr. Mobius's almost paranoid desire to control his own work, Honoka Kousaka would be angry about the power that was beyond her expectations, as she was able to use the somewhat special Genesis Core.

But the facts seemed different from what he had imagined. Not only did Mebius show no signs of being angry, but he also had certain expectations for the two men's subsequent actions.

Maki Nishikino could already foresee that poor Shoko Toyokawa would probably be kept in the dark by Mobius again.

Well, even if it was Nishikino Maki who made the decision, she wouldn't say it.

"Haha, after all, I saw something interesting this time."

Mobius put on his white coat and glanced at the puzzled Nishikino Maki with his emerald green eyes. She was in a good mood at the moment and was not reluctant to clear up the confusion for her assistant.

"It was only a sealed prototype, but it exerted a power beyond my expectations. Both Kousaka Honoka and the inner demon who stole the Genesis Core and gave it to her have successfully aroused my interest.

If I could collect more information about them, it would surely help me a lot in my research. It's really interesting. I didn't expect that there would be two drivers who could become unknown number X."

"two?"

Feeling Mobius's meaningful gaze, Nishikino Maki's poker face stiffened slightly.

"Yes, there are two. Although my assistant has not used the full power of Genesis Drive for some reason. Don't you want everyone to know your true ability?"

Mebius noticed her reaction and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Staring at her snake-like eyes, Nishikino Maki lowered her head.

"How could that be? You are flattering me too much."

"Yeah, that's what you said~"

As expected, the green-haired girl looked away. She looked towards the World Tree Tower, and the joy in her eyes gradually turned into indifference. She murmured softly in a voice that only she could hear.

"Anyway, everyone in the team now has their own agenda. It's a really fun workplace."】

Customer service Xiaoxiang: You guys only think about yourselves (annoying)!

Accountant Ishigami: Today is also the day I was cheated by the 25-year-old.

Miao Mengqin: I really want to see Xiao Xiangzi’s defense break down after he knows the truth!

Super high school level despair: Please bring it up quickly, the people downstairs can cook anything!

I hope to teach the leader: It’s obvious that the above post is caused by long-term vegetarianism!

Long-term vegetarian: This joke is not over yet, right?

FAFA0: Yes.

[The success of the performance finally helped to improve the reputation of Rhythm Knights. Looking at the team members who worked hard and shared their joy with everyone, Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't help but smile.

——That’s good. Everyone just needs to focus on the glamorous life now, singing, dancing, and laughing together. You don’t need to care about other things. Xiaoxiang and I will take care of everything.

——In this way, everyone can be happy.

Nagasaki Suyo firmly believed it and let the idea gradually take root in her mind.

Then, her attention was naturally drawn to Honoka Kousaka who had returned to the team.

The orange-haired girl, like Nagasaki Suyo, was delighted for her companions' success at this moment. However, precisely because their mentalities were somewhat similar at this moment, Nagasaki Suyo, who was also burdened with something that could not be compromised, keenly sensed the abnormality in her smile.

This strange feeling reached its peak when Kousaka Honoka smiled and waved goodbye to Minami Kotori.

The alarm in her heart forced Nagasaki Motoyo to take action. Almost at the moment when Kousaka Honoka walked out of the room, Nagasaki Motoyo chose to find an excuse to chase after her.

……

"too slow."

A somewhat dissatisfied male voice sounded in a corner of the Treson Beverage Shop. Qiwen Jiedou looked up at Kousaka Honoka who was walking towards him, and then glanced at the clock hanging in the store.

We had agreed to meet here in two hours, but this stupid guy was actually half an hour late.

While waiting, Qu Wen Jie Dou really wanted to crack this guy's head with his strong hands the moment he saw her, to teach her what the correct concept of time is.

However, after seeing the orange-haired idiot's heartless grin, he finally gave up the idea.

"Sorry, sorry, I have a lot of people here who I need to greet in advance. If I don't find a good excuse, Xiao Niao and my sister will probably be very worried."

"Really? Then it seems your excuse is useless."

Kaito Kiwamushi curled his lips in disdain and looked past Honoka Kousaka and behind her.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Kousaka Honoka immediately realized something and looked back in horror. The figure of Nagasaki Motoyo with a smile on her face was reflected in her sky blue pupils.

"Just like what Mr. Kaito said, if you know a little more, you can see through Honoka's lies at a glance."

Before Kousaka Honoka could express her question, Nagasaki Suyo answered first, smiled and walked around the somewhat bewildered Kousaka Honoka, and sat opposite Kiwa Kaito.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and used her sweetest voice to bring the topic back to the part they were just about to discuss.

"Excuse me, Mr. Kaito, what are you and Honoka planning to do without telling anyone?"

"Ah this..."

Kousaka Honoka was a little flustered. She stood behind Nagasaki Suyo and winked at Kiwa Kaito, as if she was trying to get the young man to cooperate with her and continue trying to conceal the truth.

Yes, she was still hesitating.

Mobius's strength once again sounded the alarm for her. The power of the World Tree Group far exceeds their current strength. Even Kousaka Honoka, who has Jinyu Lemon, has no guarantee of victory, let alone Nagasaki Motoyo.

She couldn't change Qi Wen Jie Dou's mind, but she felt that Nagasaki Suyo could still fight for it.

Qi Wen Jie Dou took one look at the girl's messy facial features and spoke with great emotion.

"We are going to take action against the World Tree."

Well, Qiwen Jiedou didn't want to cooperate at all, and decisively changed his evaluation of her from "idiot" to "hopeless idiot" in his mind. 】

This psychological activity made Kousaka Honoka outside the screen very angry. Under the amused gaze of her friends, she performed a long series of silent beatings on the pillow with the photo of Kaito Kimon on it.

Dio would call him an expert when he saw him.

"You banana bastard!"

In the video, seeing that both Kiwa Kaito and Nagasaki Suyo ignored her behavior, Kousaka Honoka glared at Kiwa Kaito angrily.

There was no other way out, she could only scratch her orange head in despair, sit down next to Nagasaki Suyo, and tell the truth honestly.

"I'm sorry, Sushi. I just don't want to put you in danger..."

Although Kaito Kimon did not fully understand the relationship between Kousaka Honoka and Nagasaki Motoyo, he could guess most of it by looking at the expressions in their eyes.

From Qu Wen Jie Dou's perspective, although the two guys in front of him have almost opposite personalities, ideas and behavioral codes, they are actually somewhat similar in nature.

The reasons may be different, but they will subconsciously put the goal before themselves, even if it means hitting a wall.

If it was Nagasaki Motoyo who wanted to cooperate with him this time, Kousaka Honoka would probably pursue it relentlessly after finding out.

Rather than being harassed by Nagasaki Suyo later, Qi Wen Jiedou felt that it would be better to make things clear here and there and put an end to it all.

"It's useless. This girl also knows about the existence of the forest. Even if you hide it from her, she will go and investigate it herself when the time comes."

"Yes."

Nagasaki Suyo nodded. Even she was surprised that Qiwen Kaito would speak for her, but this was exactly what she wanted.

"I've been to that forest, too. I think I have the right to know the truth!"

"We are going to infiltrate Yggdrasil's research facility."

With her eyes flashing, Nagasaki Suyo began to fiddle with her fingers unconsciously, as if she was thinking about the feasibility of the other party's words.

After a long moment, she spoke again, but her tone was less deliberate and more serious.

"What's the method?"

"Using the defense loopholes of the World Tree, I went to Helheim to re-investigate. The defenses at the Great Rift are relatively weak compared to the outside world. They seem to have only considered attacks from foreigners and never thought that someone would sneak in from there."

"I see. It is indeed a blind spot."

Nagasaki Suyo appeared to admire it, but soon changed the subject and began to try to refute the idea.

"But even if you succeed in sneaking in, I don't think you, as outsiders, can easily obtain useful information from there. It was a miracle that you managed to escape last time."

“Yeah, I don’t think it will be easy to succeed.”

To Nagasaki Suyo's surprise, Kousaka Honoka actually agreed with what she said.

"Then..."

But before she could be happy, the latter continued.

"But no matter how difficult it is, it's worth a try."

Kousaka Honoka patted Nagasaki Suyo's shoulder.

"This joint performance made me understand that it is because of you, Xiaoniao and everyone's unremitting efforts that the terrible current situation of Rhythm Knight has been changed. If you don't do it, nothing will change, but on the contrary, as long as you implement your ideas, there will always be a glimmer of hope!"

"Honoka..."

Nagasaki Motoyo looked at Kousaka Honoka's smiling face with a complicated expression, wanting to say something, but the words were at her lips but she couldn't utter them.

She felt that Honoka Kousaka was very dazzling, but the truth hidden deep in her heart made her feel only a suffocating depression and bitterness.

Once upon a time, there was such a person who approached her forcefully. She was warmed by the light called "hope" emitted by that person, but eventually she lost everything because of this stubborn light.

The image of Sonoda Umi eating the fruit kept replaying in his mind, and this memory turned into a forging hammer, beating the emotions surging in Nagasaki Suyo's heart into a pretentious mask over and over again.

Different from the joy that came from the heart before, a different smile appeared on Nagasaki Suyo's face.

"I understand. I'll come and help here as well. While you guys are taking action, I'll cause a commotion outside to attract the World Tree's attention."

……

After parting with Kousaka Honoka, Nagasaki Motoyo took out her cell phone after confirming that no one was following her and dialed Toyokawa Shoko's number.

If everyone is so determined to do so, why can't she, Nagasaki Suyo, do it?

——Instead of letting Honoka know the truth, it would be better to make her completely lose the qualification to continue to be an armored knight. In this case, Honoka will have to become an ordinary person again, right?

The phone was connected and Toyokawa Shoko's voice reached Nagasaki Suyo's ears.

"What's up, Sushi?"

"Xiao Xiang, I got some information here."
