The Knight of the Second Generation of Demons Re-enacts

I am afraid that when I walk on the street, a kid will ask me: "Isn't this the big brother with the super healthy smile?"

If this situation really happened, Hayato Hayama would probably be so embarrassed that he would faint.

[When Hikigaya Hachiman woke up, he had already returned to the laundry shop.

Although he really wanted to just leave him outside, Hayato Hayama knew that if he did so, he would lose the favorability of Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui.

Well, it’s mainly Yukinoshita Yukino, and Yuigahama Yui is just a side character.

In his opinion, Hikigaya Hachiman, who was unable to fight with Ophiino and would only hold him back, must be driven away.

But at the same time, Hikigaya Hachiman could only leave the laundry shop voluntarily. He couldn't be driven away by Hayama Hayato, at least not in the eyes of Yukinoshita Yukino.

To this end, he pretended to be kind and reunited with Yuigahama Yui, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and then together they took Hikigaya Hachiman back.

Of course, in order to stir up trouble, he also told Yukinoshita Yukino that Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't bring himself to kill the flying fish Ofi.

With Yuigahama Yui's testimony, Yukinoshita Yukino, who was already worried about Hikigaya Hachiman's strange behavior in the past few days, became more and more uneasy. Almost as soon as Hikigaya Hachiman woke up, she forced him to tell her the reason why he did this.

However, even at this point, facing the concern and questioning of Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui, Hikigaya Hachiman still chose to remain silent.

He didn't want others to know that the girl who wanted to live as a human was not actually a human. This was Hikigaya Hachiman's gratitude and blessing to her.

At the same time, this is also Hikigaya Hachiman's protection for Yuigahama Yui. In his opinion, the fact that his friend is Orphino, who has killed people, is not something that this innocent girl who has helped him a lot should know.

As for whether there are deeper reasons, perhaps only Hikigaya Hachiman himself knows.

In short, Hikigaya Hachiman was determined not to tell the two girls about this.

Such an attitude also disappointed Yukinoshita Yukino. However, this disappointment was not directed at Hikigaya Hachiman, but at herself.

It was not until now that she realized that the relationship between herself and Hikigaya Hachiman was not as strong as she thought.

Yukinoshita Yukino originally thought that the interactions between the people present so far were enough to establish a tacit understanding and trust between each other that could be called "real".

But in the end, when it was really time for them to be honest with each other, she found that Hikigaya Hachiman had never completely opened his heart to them when they were together, and had always maintained this distant relationship.

In fact, Yukinoshita Yukino had a similar feeling a long time ago.

I don't know why, but every time Yukinoshita Yukino feels that their relationship has shortened, Hikigaya Hachiman will deliberately do some irritating things in order to maintain this relationship, as if Hikigaya Hachiman intentionally built a pathetically thick barrier between himself and them.

This feeling has faded a lot during this period of time. Yukinoshita Yukino originally thought that their relationship had improved as they got along with each other, but now it seems that Hikigaya Hachiman just intentionally hid this part of his personality.

As for how to break through this seemingly thin but insurmountable obstacle, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly had an idea and seemed to have some clues.

——If I want to exchange sincerity for sincerity, maybe I shouldn’t ask Hikigaya to do anything, but should try to do something for him first?

She thought so, and finally turned around and left the room with Yuigahama Yui in deep thought.

Hayato Hayama, who was waiting outside, had no idea what Yukinoshita Yukino was thinking. When he saw her come out with a gloomy face, he simply thought that Yukinoshita Yukino had completely broken up with the other party.

When he thought of this, Hayato Hayama couldn't help but feel in a good mood. Compared with the displeasure he felt towards Hachiman Kigaya, it suddenly didn't seem so strong.

"Hey, how are you?"

"..."

Hikigaya Hachiman stared speechlessly at the blond young man leaning against the door. Although he said nothing, the gloomy expression on his face that said "How dare you ask this?" could be understood by anyone who came.

In response, Hayato Hayama simply shrugged innocently and did not take the other party's hostility to heart.

"Haha, don't glare at me like that. I'm actually doing this for your own good."

Walking to the window sill and looking at the busy street outside, Hayato Hayama took out a tissue and wiped his hands.

"Although I don't know what exactly you have experienced, there is no doubt that you have sympathized with Orphino and are unable to fight them. At this point, you have lost the qualifications to continue to be Faiz. In this case, the sooner you know that you are unqualified, the sooner you can get out of this dangerous vortex, right?"

……

At the same time, in Chen Shi’s house, another victim of the incident also woke up from his sleep.

Naganohara Yoshimiya slowly opened her eyes, only to feel a sharp pain in her brain. She rubbed her temples until her blurry vision gradually became clear and she could see the unfamiliar environment around her. Then she sat up in shock from her dying illness and jumped up suddenly from the quilt she had never seen before.

Trying hard to recall what happened before he lost consciousness, Naganohara Xiaomiya looked around on both sides, and finally saw Chen Shi who was in a daze beside him, and his heart slowly settled down.

She was still confident about Chen Shi's character and believed that he was not the kind of person who would attack her when she was off guard.

It was also when she looked over that Chen Shi, who had been in deep thought, finally reacted.

He looked up at Naganohara Yoshimiya, whose face was full of questions. Only when she regained consciousness did the young man finally breathe a sigh of relief and put down a stone in his heart.

There is no way. He himself was in a vegetative state for two years. The feeling of powerlessness as things and people have changed has made him more sensitive to such things. He doesn't want anyone to experience the same tragedy as him.

"Mr. Chen, what am I doing?"

Naganohara Xiaomiya roughly guessed that he should be at Chen Shi's residence now. Unable to obtain more information for the time being, he turned to Chen Shi and asked questions.

It seemed that he had forgotten about being attacked by Orphino. Chen Shi, who had originally wanted to take this opportunity to confess Orphino's existence to the other party so that he would realize the danger and give up pursuing Asuka's death, was suddenly speechless.

"Don't you remember what happened before?"

"Uh, it seems like there was a car accident?"

Searching the few pieces of information in his mind, Naganohara Xiaomiya only remembered that he seemed to have almost hit someone while driving. His memory after that became quite vague, and he appeared here after waking up.

But seeing that I can lie here safely and not in a hospital or police station, I guess the car accident wasn't a serious matter.

Thinking of this, Naganohara Yoshimiya had lost the desire to continue exploring the matter.

Compared to this, what she cared more about at the moment was Chen Shi, who had originally refused to travel with her but now appeared at the scene of the car accident and brought her back.

Such an action obviously caused her to have some misunderstanding.

She looked at the conflicted Chen Shi, and the smile on her face became brighter.

"Compared to those trivial matters, since you are here, does it mean that you, Chen Jun, are planning to investigate Asuka's death with me!"】

Accountant Ishigami: NB, you might have been in trouble, but your first reaction is to care whether others will help you investigate the cause of your sister’s death?

Queen of the Summer Festival: I don't quite understand. If I had a brother or sister, would my personality be like this? Is this the sister-con attribute that Lord Yae Miyaji mentioned?

ZIO Second Generation: Wrong. It’s not that you will become like this if you have brothers or sisters, but if you have Chiba bloodline, you will 100% become like this.

The dead fish eyes of the Great Sensei: Let me clarify, these are all true.

Chaos Evil Gudako: BYD, you guys are pretty proud.

Iron Fist Invincible: We Chiba people are really Qianqian and Yeye!

【“…”

After asking this question, Naganohara Xiaomiya, who thought she would get a positive answer, received a silence that really made her heart tremble. She looked at Chen Shi's tangled and distressed expression, and she could vaguely sense what the other party's answer would be without him even opening his mouth.

For a moment, it was so ridiculous that she even wanted to cover her ears to escape reality.

However, Chen Shi, who did not notice anything unusual, did not give her this opportunity.

It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. The young man lowered his head and handed back the mobile phone pendant that the other party had given him, with a strong sense of guilt on his face.

"I'm sorry, Miss Xiaogong, I'm no longer qualified to accept such a thing, and I don't want to..."

Chen Shi didn't want to get involved in Asuka's affairs. It wasn't because he was afraid of revenge from Naganohara Yoshinomiya after the truth was revealed, but he just couldn't feel at ease pretending that he knew nothing and just followed Naganohara Yoshinomiya's actions.

"This, this is it."

The smile became very stiff, and Naganohara Xiaomiya felt as if something dark was slowly accumulating in the depths of his heart.

Not sure if it was an auditory hallucination, the girl felt as if she could hear some subtle buzzing in her ears, but when she listened carefully, she heard nothing.

"Miss Xiao Gong?"

"Ah? Oh! I'm fine, I understand you!"

Chen Shi's doubtful question brought him out of his negative mood. Naganohara Xiaomiya forced a smile and tried to convince himself with more than a hundred reasons in an instant.

This is also inevitable.

During the years when Chen Shi was a vegetable, his sister only survived for less than a year. When Naganohara Xiaomiya asked her about this matter again, she had already given up any hope for Chen Shi's recovery.

It was clearly her sister who abandoned the other person first. Now that things have come to this, how could she possibly expect the other person to stay with a dead person?

Of course, Naganohara Yoshimiya actually didn’t know much about the specific situation.

Asuka Naganohara seamlessly found a new boyfriend, and her new boyfriend is even Chen Shi's cousin. Naturally, the former would not tell her cousin about this.

This is also the reason why Naganohara Xiaogong always feels that Chen Shi is the most likely person to help him.

But this time, her expectations did not come true, and in the end she found that it was just wishful thinking.

Thinking of this, Naganohara Xiaomiya sighed deeply, and soon smiled again in the face of Chen Shi's worried eyes.

"It's okay. Even so, I won't give up so easily. Next, I plan to find those college classmates who are close to Asuka to ask about the situation again, and try my luck to see if I can find some key clues that I missed before."

As if to cheer himself up, Naganohara Yoshimiya waved his little fists, forcing himself to reveal his original energetic and vibrant side.

She jumped off the bed and walked around Chen Shi towards the door.

But the moment her hand touched the door handle, Chen Shi's voice reached her ears.

"Once we find Asuka's killer, what are you going to do, Miss Xiaomiya?"

"…If I can avenge Asuka, I won't mind even if I have to sell my soul to the devil, so…I will definitely kill him with my own hands."

"bump--"

The door was slammed shut by a huge force. Chen Shi stood there for a long time without saying a word, his eyes flickering.

……

The perspective returns to Yuigahama Laundry again.

Faced with Hayato Hayama's malicious instigation, Hikigaya Hachiman rarely refuted the other party's ideas immediately.

He knew his current situation better than anyone else. Ever since he met Nishimiya Shoko, the stereotype that Orphino was a bad guy had been shattered in his mind.

After losing this filter, Hikigaya Hachiman lost the courage to kill the other person.

He always couldn't help but wonder what those people of Orphino who might die in his hands were thinking?

Could it be that they are helpless?

Will she just want to live as a human being like Nishimiya Shoko?

The more he thought, the less he understood. Eventually his mind became confused and he could no longer find his original state of mind.

It was also because of this that he bowed to Hayato Hayama for the first time.

"Maybe you are right. I am indeed unable to fight now."
