The Knight of the Second Generation of Demons Re-enacts

"Yes, Origami must have seen another future: the future where onee-sama officially obtains the power of the fantasy world and successfully saves the world."

"In that case!"

Shiori's face lit up with joy, and when he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Mana.

"But as a price, when that future becomes a reality, you, Onee-sama, will disappear!"】

184: Shiori vs. Yakuya

【"Shiori will disappear? Why?"

Tohka stood up suddenly and grabbed Mana's shoulders. She was so naive that she could not accept such a cruel fact.

"This is the fate of those who gain power. Thousands of years ago, Brother used his omniscience and omnipotence to create a fantasy world and distributed knowledge and power to humans. However, he also paid a great price for this. He disappeared from the real world and could no longer interfere with anything in the real world. He could only watch the world as an observer."

Mana said this and lowered her head in frustration.

"And what you have to do is to take over your brother's existence. In that case, although you will have the opportunity to use your power, you will also have to bear the same price as your brother."

"Why is this happening, Shiori-chan and Origami-chan, do we have to sacrifice one of them?"

Shiono's eyes became moist, and the other swordsmen also showed unwilling expressions. Only Shiori smiled and touched Qingmei's little head.

"It's okay. No one will be sacrificed. I think you guys made a promise. Since we don't want to take either of these two paths, then I, no! We will open up a third path and start a happy ending where no one will be sacrificed."

"Shiori..."

Everyone looked at Shiori. There was no falsehood in her words at this moment. She really wanted to find the third way.

"But first we have to stop Origami from doing something stupid."

Shiori picked up the flaming sword Rehuo and walked towards the door, and Tohka followed closely behind him. After all, the threat of the Holy Lord of Truth was still there, so it was better not to act alone.

"Then I too..."

When Yoshino saw this, she wanted to follow, but Mana grabbed her by the back of the collar.

"What's up, Mana-chan?"

"I need your help here."

Mana looked at Yoshino seriously, and the latter was instantly pleased with the four words "I need you".

"Hey, you've found the right person!"】

Unable to study together: Will the power of the fantasy world disappear from the real world? Why is this true? The so-called power of the fantasy world is the power of omniscience and omnipotence, right? They clearly obtained the same power, why did the Lord of Truth use it without any problems, but Miss Shiori had to pay the price?

MEI: It's not without a price. I guess the so-called price is to destroy the world. The power of omniscience and omnipotence is too supernormal to be tolerated by the real world. Using it in the real world will cause serious damage to the world. Therefore, Liusu, who inherited the complete power, cannot use the power at will, let alone directly interfere with reality.

Dr. Chicken-Woof-Head: However, the Lord of Truth, this complete madman, does not care about the price. In addition, his current power is incomplete, so he is even more unscrupulous.

Touzhu: It can actually be like this. Good guys can't do anything because of their kindness, but bad guys can do whatever they want. This is too much!

[Shiori and Tohka met an unexpected person on their way to the place Mana mentioned.

With the twin swords Cuifeng hanging on his back and a serious look on his face, Yakushi stood in front of the two men and pointed at Shiori.

"Shiori, challenge me to a duel."

"Yajuya, we have to..."

Seeing this, Tohka stepped forward to dissuade the other party, but was patted on the shoulder by Shiori.

"Tohka-chan, can I ask you to take care of Origami-chan first? I'll be there soon."

Shiori smiled brightly, telling Tohka not to worry.

"But?"

"If we want to reach the happy ending, Yakuya is also an indispensable companion for us. This is a good opportunity, I must seize it."

"I understand. I swear on the sword of water that I will protect Origami's safety until you arrive."

"Ok!"

Tohka ran past Yakuya, who didn't look at her but stared at Shiori intently. This rookie swordsman who had been holding a sword for less than half a year had become so strong without anyone noticing.

I can't defeat her.

When standing in front of Shiori, Yakuya had this feeling, and it made Yakuya become irritated.

On the other hand, Shiori kept a happy smile and put on the driver.

"what's so funny?"

"I think this should be the first time that Yakubishi and I have a sparring match. I feel a little happy. After all, although Yakubishi was very nice to everyone before, I always felt that there was a barrier between him and everyone else, and he never showed his true self to me."

"Barrier?"

Yakuya was slightly stunned and looked at Shiori's smiling face.

"Well, I always feel like Yakuya is being chased by something, so urgent that he doesn't have any spare time to communicate with others. When I faced off with everyone's swords before, although the process was very painful, it was also a precious memory for me. I felt a lot of things from everyone's swords: Mana-chan's sense of responsibility for the identity of a swordsman, Miku-chan's love for the holy sword, Nanashi-chan's expectations for the children's future, Tohka-chan's determination to protect important people, even Eren-chan and Kurumi-chan, have important things they insist on."

Shiori took out the "Elemental Dragon" and the "Ancient Dragon", and his smile became more dazzling.

"So I'll give it my all, and I look forward to getting to know Yakuya-chan through this battle. Come on, transform!"

“…Transform!”

"Handshake each other! Elemental Dragons! Overflowing with elements! Strengthened bonds!"

"Double swords to cut!"

The storm cut through the air waves caused by the two dragons, and the sword that Yakuya transformed into used the clone attack of "The Three Pig Brothers" from the beginning. Two people were responsible for restraining them, and one waited for an opportunity to observe Shiori's actions.

Under the triple vision, even if Shiori uses elementalization to reach the perspective of one of them, the other two will react quickly and not give Shiori a chance to succeed.

Due to the Wind Swordsman's agility and speed, even though Shiori's strength was far greater than Yakuya's, he was unable to gain any advantage for a while. Not only did he dodge all of her attacks, he was also hit dozens of times.

"So strong! You've only seen my elemental dragon a few times, but you've already figured out how to fight it? As expected, Yakuya-chan, you're really strong."

Seeing that he was actually in a slight disadvantage, Shiori immediately gave up the plan of breaking through with strength. A green whirlwind wrapped around his body and his speed increased accordingly.

Yakuya realized that something was wrong, and instantly released his clone, using his shuriken special move to decide the outcome before Shiori caught up with him.

Shiori had the same intention and used his ultimate move almost simultaneously.

The rainbow crescent moon and green shuriken hit the opponent's body at the same time, but the elemental dragon's high numerical advantage was instantly reflected.

Shiori was only knocked back a few steps, while Yakuya was knocked away and his transformation ended on the ground.

The humiliation of being defeated again surged into his heart, and Yakushi clenched his fists.

"Why? I can't catch up with you guys at all! What did I do wrong? Is it wrong to pursue the ultimate power?"

She pounded the ground hard, tears welling up in Yakushi's eyes. Her confused current situation made her not even in the mood to use that unique and ancient way of speaking.

“Isn’t being strong just? Isn’t it enough for me to just become stronger?!”

"Yakuya-chan..."

Shiori cancelled her transformation. During the previous battle, she could feel the other party's confusion, but Shiori had no intention of comforting her. Instead, she asked a question.

"What is Yakuya-chan fighting for?"

"I……"

Yakuya couldn't answer. In her life up to now, she had only fought for the sake of fighting and became stronger for the sake of becoming stronger. Looking back, she couldn't find any reason at all.

"I think this is a very important question. Yakuya-chan is very strong. You just lack the answer right now."

Shiori walked past Yakuya who had stood up and was lost in thought.

"We will keep waiting, waiting for the day when you find the answer and come back to fight alongside me."]

Science Thumbelina: Why didn't Ms. Shiori tell Ms. Yakuya directly? For the sake of companions, for the world, or for justice, Ms. Yakuya would accept it if she was told directly.

The dead fish eyes of the Great Sensei: But that is not the real thing. A person must come up with his own reasons for fighting, because that is his own thing.

Miss Pink Fairy: Haha, you're right. It is precisely because we are companions that Shiori-chan wants Yakuya-chan to find his true self. That's so beautiful. Shiori-chan is indeed a good child.

185: Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

[While Shiori and Yakuya were fighting, Mayuri, the Swordsman of Nothingness, sat quietly on the edge of the overpass. He looked at the busy scene under the bridge and reached out to touch the Unnamed Sword Void leaning next to him.

But this calmness did not last long. Mayuri suddenly looked to her side, and the familiar breath added a little more anger to her expression.

"Shin'! How dare you show up in front of me!"

She pointed the Unnamed Sword at Mana who was walking towards her with Yoshino, and her pretty face wrinkled slightly. It was obvious that she was very unhappy with Mana who had sealed her away a thousand years ago.

Yoshino was frightened by Mayuri's powerful presence and hid her petite body behind Mana.

"Why did you bring me here to such a scary place?"

The blue-haired editor complained in a low voice, showing no trace of the smugness he had at the beginning.

"What do you want? Do you want to fight me?"

Mayuri, on the other hand, was not interested in Yoshino as she was a human being. She took out the "Eternal Phoenix" and prepared to fight at any time.

But Mana crossed her arms and shook her head.

"Mayuri-chan! I'm here to negotiate terms with you!"

"Mayuri...chan?"

Mayuri was stunned by the sudden strange name. Compared with Mana, who was almost turning into a hidden otaku and had read a lot of modern books, Mayuri's knowledge reserve was obviously still at the level of an ancient person. She had no idea what "chan" was called at all, but she instinctively felt unhappy.

"This is a nickname between good friends now! You can also call me Mana-chan! Onee-sama and the others call me that, too!"

Mana proudly puffed out his chest and acted very proud.

"Only ghosts would scream! If you have something to say, say it quickly. If not, get out of here!"

"All right……"

Mana showed a very disappointed expression, but quickly cheered up.

"Mayuri-chan, join me in preventing the world from being destroyed!"

"?"

Even Yoshino could see the question mark in Mayuri's expressionless eyes.
