The Knight of the Second Generation of Demons Re-enacts

"!?"

He looked back in surprise, only to see that Minami Kotori had been standing behind him without him noticing. As he looked at her back, he naturally noticed Kousaka Honoka's bloodshot eyes at the first moment.

This really scared her, and she hurried forward to ask about his well-being.

However, the more Minami Kotori acted like this, the more Kousaka Honoka felt her chest was blocked. In her eyes now, the gentle care was like the most terrifying knife, cutting her flesh and blood one by one, making her experience the torture of slow slicing mentally.

"I……"

This sense of guilt almost overwhelmed her. When Minami Kotori asked her what had happened to her, Kousaka Honoka almost told her everything about Sonoda Umi, so that Minami Kotori could see her true face as a sinner.

"Honoka!!!"

But the other woman who came here with all her might would not let her have her wish.

With what she thought was the brightest smile she had ever given, she tried her best to draw both of their attention to herself.

"Oh my goodness, Honoka, you're here! We still have a lot of things to deal with regarding that crack!"

Ignoring the two people's surprise, Nagasaki Motoyo grabbed Kousaka Honoka's wrist and pulled her away, without giving the two people any chance to react.

She was sitting in the front, and when she made sure that neither of them could see her face, her well-pretended smile completely collapsed.

If someone opened the phone in her pocket, they would probably be able to see a video Sid sent her on Line.

——I begged you like that, Xiaoxiang?

Something dark was about to overflow from those sky-blue eyes.

——Why are you playing that?! 】

"This is not Xiaoxiang's fault at all!"

In real life, Nagasaki Motoyo remembers pacing back and forth in front of the screen. The ominous premonition made her forget about even the big lady mode that she had always tried hard to maintain. She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but she was powerless to do anything about the current situation.

"This is all Sid's conspiracy! Pay attention to it now!"

——Where has your amazing wisdom gone!

Nagasaki Suyo, who considered herself to be very smart, thought so and prayed in her heart that she would never do anything stupid.

Otherwise, she won't be able to revive the glory of CRYCHIC. She will probably be too embarrassed to see Xiaoxiang in the future.

【“That was a close call.”

Taking Kousaka Honoka away from Minami Kotori, Nagasaki Suyo still had her back to her, her eyes looking at the river beside her without focus, but her voice maintained the usual clip sound so that Kousaka Honoka didn't hear anything wrong.

Regretting her departure at that time, Nagasaki Suyo was determined not to fail again this time.

So for Kousaka Honoka who already knew everything, she decided not to hide things any longer and to have a frank talk with her.

"Were you planning to tell Kotori about Umi just now?"

"Ugh?"

Her pupils suddenly shrank, and Kousaka Honoka trembled all over at what Nagasaki Motoyo said, and looked at the other's back in disbelief.

"Su Shi, do you know..."

"Well, actually, I had already watched that video when I first sneaked into the World Tree Tower."

"and you!"

"How can I possibly say that?"

The unexpected development of the topic made Kousaka Honoka's head hot. She wanted to ask loudly why the other party hid it from her, but Nagasaki Suyo seemed to see through her thoughts. She turned around and looked at Kousaka Honoka's painful expression. Her heart began to surge with intense pain. Her eyes turned red and she yelled back even louder.

"How can I bear to see you and everyone else with such an expression? Do you want me to bring the pain you feel now to you back then? Do you want to kiss my hand and ruin everyone's beautiful life now?"

His fists were clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh.

"I can't do it... Honoka, I want everyone to keep smiling! I'm willing to do anything for this! Even if it's true, I won't allow it to happen!"

"Su Shi..."

It was the first time that Kousaka Honoka felt such strong emotions so clearly on Nagasaki Suyo. Looking at her eyes which were as red as her own, she couldn't help but start to think from her perspective.

If it was Su Shi or Xiao Niao who was facing this situation now, could she really be cruel enough to reveal the fruit of the truth to them?

she does not know.

Her heart was filled with confusion at this moment.

"So don't blame yourself anymore. You made the right choice. Next, we just need to keep it a secret together, so that this sadness will not continue to spread..."

Nagasaki Suyo hugged the dazed Kousaka Honoka in her arms with heartache, gently stroking her orange hair, trying to give her a sense of security.

"But in this case, Umi..."

Honoka Kousaka wanted to refute but couldn't find the words. The pain in her heart only accumulated more and more. Finally, she dropped her hands helplessly.

"That's terrible, I..."

"Honoka, you did nothing wrong!"

——Yeah, none of this is your fault!

While comforting Kousaka Honoka, Nagasaki Suyo thought so.

……

Time quickly came to the next day.

It is still unknown what happened in Zeme City, and Qiwen Jiedou's investigation begins again in Helheim.

Only this time, his target didn't continue to hide from him.

The red overlord appeared in front of him, holding the dictionary he had set up here yesterday.

"Oh? Has Ken finally shown up, Overlord? By the way, should I call you by the codename 'True Red' that Mebius gave you?"

Qi Wen Jie Dou grinned, and even though the murderous intent emanating from the other party became sharper after hearing the name given to him by the human, he had no intention of retreating.

"Oh, you're that type of guy? That's perfect."

He threw the big bag in his hand away, and seeing that the other party tore up the dictionary, his fighting spirit was also high. He took out the Zhan Ji Driver and put it on.

"It saves me a lot of trouble."]

Cancer of the Earth: It’s actually called Zhenhong. Could it be that it is simply named after the other person’s body color?

UMR: Well, no wonder the overlord would be angry. After all, this naming method is like naming a pet.

Chairman Mercury: Puff, naming a pet, wwwww...

Tea Party: Oh, do you have any objection to this noble name my father gave me?

The Sleeping Beauty of Literature: By the way, can you understand this meaning? This overlord actually mastered the language of another world in less than a day? What kind of intelligence is this?

Thumbelina of science: I’m really envious.

[Kito Kimono and the angry Shinku started fighting. At the same time, even after a night of cooling off, Honoka Kousaka, who was still confused about the future, wandered aimlessly to the Tresen beverage store.

As soon as she stepped into the store, she immediately felt something was wrong.

The store was empty at that moment, even the store manager who was standing in front of the counter and greeting every customer with a smile was not there.

This abnormal situation immediately aroused Kousaka Honoka's vigilance. Her hand touched the driver, and her eyes suddenly found a hint of gold in the store that was just empty.

That was the woman who looked very similar to Minami Kotori and with whom I had a brief exchange when I first transformed.

She also looked at Kousaka Honoka, and the inextricable sadness in her eyes did not change no matter how much time passed.

"If you refuse to face your fate, you will be immersed in endless regrets, but this does not mean that you will lose everything. The road of escape is also a way. Forgive yourself and embark on a new life. This way, you may find peace of mind."

The riddle man's speech as usual made Kousaka Honoka want to ask something.

But she took only one step, and the blonde goddess disappeared as quickly as she had appeared, as if she had never existed in the first place.

A feeling of loss came over her heart, and before Kousaka Honoka could retract her outstretched hand, another magnetic voice came into her ears.

"Good morning, ma'am, you don't look very energetic."

As if it had been agreed in advance, after the blonde goddess, a man in a suit wearing an alpaca headgear but calling himself a giraffe appeared at a seat in the store.

"When were you there?"

He turned his head slightly to look at Kousaka Honoka's face and ignored her questioning.

"I don't know."

Rarely, the giraffe's catchphrase has a special variation.

"Ma'am, what are you hesitating about?"

"Ugh?"

"What exactly do you want to do?"

The giraffe's questions didn't end there.

"They said they were going to protect the city, but what's going on now?"

"I insist on fighting because I cannot accept what the World Tree has done..."

With the tragic death of her best friend still fresh in her mind, Kousaka Honoka lowered her head.

"But in the end, there is actually no essential difference between me and them. On the one hand, I said I wanted to protect someone, but on the other hand, I sacrificed the lives of important people. I am like this..."

"That's it, I understand."

Standing quietly beside Honoka Kousaka, the giraffe reached over her and took an orange from the fruit basket beside her.

This careless action caused Kousaka Honoka to completely explode

"What can you understand? You have to sacrifice something to protect something. Is this really the only meaning of fighting? I don't understand! I don't understand at all!!!"

"First of all, you've got one fundamental thing wrong, ma'am."

The giraffe played with the orange in his hand, and after rubbing it for a while, it turned it into a square hexagonal orange craft. This wonderful scene attracted the attention of Honoka Kousaka for a moment.

"After all, using power to protect something is inherently contradictory. Power always only brings destruction."

"I have nothing to destroy, and I don't need any power!"

"Ah, even after talking about this, you still don't understand? Compared to that gentleman, you are really slow."

As the giraffe spoke, the scene of the battle between Kaito and Shinku appeared.
