"Huh? Sophia?"

"There is no need to go on patrol. Thank you for your hard work while I was away. I will open the barrier immediately."

The white-haired, unidentified woman walked into the room with a faint smile on her face. 】

White Tyrant: Great, Miss Sophia is back with the team. It must be Miss Origami who rescued her!

Pink Little Round Face: Next we just need to convince Miss Origami and Miss Yakuya to rejoin the team, and then we will be complete.

Super High School-Level Literary Girl: Is it really that easy? The other two don't seem to be willing to cooperate.

Leader of Hope: It’s okay, the hero will eventually overcome despair and bring everyone together. Ah~ Just thinking about it makes me excited.

[“Okay, let’s exchange some information. Tohka, what exactly happened at your South Base?”

Tohka nodded, and slowly told her own experiences, including that the real enemy of the organization was actually the Lord of Truth, and that Alan and Kurumi were actually following his orders and so on.

"This is really a terrible situation. Doesn't this mean we are going to become enemies with the entire organization?"

Nanashi rubbed her head in confusion. Her little brain could not think of any solution. She turned her gaze to the returning leader of the North District. Sophia nodded to her and began to assign tasks.

"Zai Guang, could you please heal the Holy Blade and the Blade Edge as soon as possible?"

"Oh, no problem, leave it to me, the best!"

Zhenna gave a thumbs up, indicating that everyone should be more bearish on me (bushi).

"Dajian, can you please go find Jian Zhan again? The child's family's education method is very special. If no one guides him correctly for too long, it will be easy for him to go astray. Besides, now is the time when we need fighting power."

"Ok."

Seven Sins nodded.

"Jian Shan, please help me reinforce the barrier. The power of the Holy Lord of Truth is extraordinary. If he is determined to attack here, the original barrier may not be able to hold him back for long."

"no problem."

After saying that, Sophia left with Miku, leaving Yoshino alone, who was looking forward to her own mission.

"what about me?"

Although she was a little unhappy that she was forgotten again, the good girl Yoshinoda did not make trouble when she saw everyone busy. Instead, she started thinking about doing things within her ability.

"By the way! Let me prepare some small gifts for everyone!"

She did what she thought, and left the North Base in a hurry under Mana's strange gaze. 】

Ms. Kusa: Ms. Yoshino has a really good attitude. If I were ignored, I'd probably be angry.

Special Eater: Ah! When the grass gets angry, it is really scary.

Soul of the Knights of Favonius: Miss Sophia is amazing. As soon as she came back, she was able to calm everyone down and arrange tasks in an orderly manner.

Master Lu: Humph, compared to some useless senior executives, he is indeed an excellent leader.

[Inside the stronghold of Megiddo.

The white-haired woman walked in with an unhappy look on her face and threw several alternative driving books in her hands on the table. Behind her followed a cute black-haired little girl who was holding a mountain of books in her arms. She was swaying and looked like she might fall down at any time.

"Hey!"

With a cute interjection, Charybdis in human form carefully placed the book on the table, and then followed Stellius' instructions to carefully put the books into the bookshelf one by one.

However, most of her attention was still focused on Bister, who was on the mission with her this time.

"Master Biste, did I do something wrong? Why do you look unhappy when we clearly got a lot of books this time?"

Tilting his little head, Charybdis asked in confusion.

"No, you did a great job, little one. You are obedient and capable. To be honest, it's quite easy for me."

"Then why are you not happy?"

"Well, it's because the Water Swordsman didn't show up to stop me this time."

Bister rubbed her temples. Ever since Woodman's death, her head began to ache from time to time. There were always some strange memories flashing through her mind, but when she wanted to recall them carefully, she couldn't grasp them. She could only vaguely remember that it seemed to be related to the Water Swordsman.

"Isn't it a good thing that no one comes to stop us?"

Charybdis became even more confused. Just as Bister was about to answer, a gentle male voice intervened in the conversation. It turned out that Stellius had also returned here with the book.

"I guess it's Bist who wants to fight the Water Swordsman. After all, the two of them fought several times before but there was no real winner."

"So that's how it is. Also, welcome back, Lord Stellius!"

"Well, I'm back."

Stellius smiled and greeted the other party, and Bister suddenly realized what the former had guessed.

"That's right! I want to compete with the Water Swordsman!"

She stood up and shook her fist at the air, but then sat back down as if she had thought of something.

"No, that girl hasn't come out lately, and I can't find her at all."

"Then give her a reason to come out."

Stellius waved his right hand, and the figure of Yoshino, who was fiddling with something in the Fantasy Bookstore, Gokawa, appeared in the picture frame on the wall.

"I recently discovered that this child seems to be connected to the fantasy world. Isn't this the perfect bait?"

"Oh! I see what you mean!"

Bister showed a ferocious smile and took out another blank alternative book from the void.

"If it's this woman, she can indeed lure the Water Swordsman out! After all, she is the second friend the Water Swordsman made in the outside world!"

Thinking of this, Bister could no longer sit still and rushed out of the Megiddo stronghold in one step. With her speed, she should be able to turn Yoshino into the new Megiddo soon.

Stellius muttered to himself as he looked at the closed door.

"The second friend? It seems that Biste's memory is gradually recovering. I must hurry up, Charybdis."

"Yes, Master Stellius."

Putting down the last book in his hand, Charybdis skipped to his creation.

"Did you follow my instructions and secretly put the spell that enhanced Bist's power into her body?"

"Yes! I put it in when Master Bister wasn't paying attention. But I don't understand why you kept it a secret from Master Bister?"

"Well, my friend is too strong-willed. If I give her the power directly, she will definitely refuse it directly on the grounds that she doesn't need external things. But after Woodman's death, Bist is one of my few friends. The battle with the swordsman is extremely dangerous. I must find a way to help her."

"Wow! I am so touched. Lord Stellius is truly a man of loyalty and righteousness!"

After being fooled by Stellius, Charybdis, who looked like a black-haired little girl, was moved to tears. She hugged Stellius' thighs and exclaimed that her creator was such a good Megiddo, without noticing anything wrong with Stellius' words.

Stellius just smiled and touched the other's little head, but there was no smile in his eyes at all.

"Don't worry, my friend Bister, your ending will also be beautiful and dignified."

The man's voice was so faint that even Charybdis, who was Megiddo, could not hear it clearly. 】

Paramecium: Wow! This Stellius is really evil. He actually plans to backstab another teammate!

Super high school level player: That’s too bad, I’m ready to glare at you!

I have very few friends: Wait, do any of you remember Tohka telling anyone that Yoshino was her second friend in the outside world?

Cancer of the Earth: Eh? Now that you mention it, it seems that I have never seen Tohka talk about this with anyone else. She seems to have only said that Shiori was her first friend.

Dr. Chicken Coop Hair: Very similar appearance, same style of swordsmanship, knowing memories that should not be known, no way, if my guess is correct, then Bist is really pathetic...

Pink Dumpling: Boss, do you understand again?

156: Rabbit Megiddo

[The next day, Shiori regained consciousness and woke up from the sofa. She tried to touch the wound on her back, and her back, which was as white as a newborn baby's, no longer felt any pain.

"Thank you, Mana-chan."

Shiori discovered Mana who was reading a comic nearby, and after figuring out the situation, he immediately thanked her.

"I'm glad I could help you, big sister. Now that you've woken up, I'll be out for a while."

"Going out?"

Looking at Mana who put down the comics, Shiori was a little confused. After all, the person in front of him was actually a super otaku. If she was given enough comic books, she could sit there all day. It must be a habit she developed after staying in Avalon for a long time.

"Well, remember I said before that Brother went to find the Lord of Truth? Now that I know that the Lord of Truth is the enemy, I am a little worried about Brother's situation and want to check on him."

"Uncle Liusu, um, be careful."

Thinking of the blue-haired uncle in fancy clothes, the kind-hearted Shiori became a little worried. Mana nodded and turned into the Light Sword Saikou and flew away.

"Shiori! You're awake!"

Not long after Mana left, Tohka came in with a basin of hot water, saw Shiori standing up, and immediately went forward to check on the situation.

"How is it? Do you feel any pain anywhere else in your body?"

"No, thanks to Mana I'm feeling much better now."

"Is that so? That's great."

Tohka breathed a sigh of relief, then took a few steps back and bowed deeply to Shiori.

"I'm so sorry! It's all because I didn't choose to trust you all that I caused so much trouble. Even though it's shameless to have to deal with it now, please allow me to fight alongside you!"

"..."

Shiori stared blankly at Tohka who looked a little humble, and sighed helplessly.

"Look up, Tohka-chan, this is not your fault. The Sword of Truth is like home to you. It is normal that you cannot believe what we say for a while."

"Yes."

At this time, Sophia and Miku, who had returned from reinforcing the barrier, also echoed.

"Blade, you have done a great job. During my absence, you not only always carried out your will, but also brought us important information that the real enemy is the Lord of Truth. You are undoubtedly an excellent swordsman."

"What are you still talking about now? You are such a clumsy junior."

Handing over the well-maintained Water Sword Liushui, Miku patted Tohka's shoulder.

"You have been our companion for a long time, both in the past and now."
