The Knight of the Second Generation of Demons Re-enacts

In a flash, Shiori asked the question in his heart before the second attack from Nanashi came.

"Do you hate Kagano Nanashi, Miss Nanashi?"

"..."

The attack stopped. Shiori's question seemed to have touched something in Nanashi's heart. Nanashi stared at Shiori on the ground for a long time, as if thinking about something.

Because of the butterfly effect brought about by the exposure of the video, the Nanashi here was not almost seen in her true appearance by Shiori as in the original work, which means that her bottom line was far from being touched.

The only thing that made her angry now was that Shiori compared her "ugly" self in the video with her current "beautiful" self.

To make an analogy, it is like a person who is very confident about his appearance walking on the street and suddenly a stranger he meets for the first time says "you are not good-looking". In this situation, the anger generated will indeed make some people with bad tempers lose their temper on the spot.

Nanashi's previous attack was nothing more than this. In fact, Nanashi, who was kind by nature, regretted the attack a little after that. She even thought of punishing the opponent for a few minutes and then changing her back. The subsequent pursuit was just a face-saving action. In fact, she had no intention of hitting the opponent at all.

But when Shiori asked this question, Nanashi was actually a little confused for a moment.

Does Nanashi hate "Kagino Nanashi"? Does she hate herself in that video?

The answer should be no. What Nanashi hates is just the "ugly" self.

Kagano Nanashi, who is Kamen Rider Claymore, is not actually "ugly" in the eyes of the Nanashi of this world, and is even a little dazzling.

The confidence that always sees oneself as the "strongest", the tenderness shown to children, the ability to accept one's own strength without the need for a "beautiful" shell...

Nanami cannot hate "Kagino Nanami", but Nanami cannot accept "Kagino Nanami" either.

Because the mere existence of such a "powerful" "Kagino Nanashi" is a negation of Nanashi's lifestyle.

Look! Even if you don't live a hypocritical life like a street rat, the "Seven Sins" can still be so dazzling!

After watching the video just now, instead of worrying about Shiori's final safety, what echoed in Nanashi's ears was this whisper from the bottom of his heart.

And now, due to the problems of Shiori in this world, the accumulated confusion finally reached its peak and burst out in one breath.

But she is not a wise man who knows everything, nor is she an experienced adult. She is just a child who got power by chance, and she cannot get the answer.

So, she placed her hope for an answer on the girl in front of her who looked exactly like the protagonist in the video.

"Do you think Kagano Nanashi is ugly?"

024: Don’t add chili pepper

"Do you think Kagano Nanashi is ugly?"

The words of the person in front of her made Shizhi, who was standing opposite her, frown. She looked at the woman in front of her carefully again.

Her long green hair, smooth and silky, was draped around her body and looked clearly well-groomed. Her tall body exuded the charm of a mature woman, and her delicate facial features were even more charming than the loli swordsman in the video.

To be honest, even though they are both women, Gokawa Shiori has to admit that in terms of appearance alone, the other party is indeed better than Kagano Nanashi, who only looks like a child, in his value system.

Even though Shiori once said such a "declaration of independence" as "I am a lolita lover!" during his reverse date with Tobiichi Origami, it was just a show after all. Shiori's XP system is actually more suitable for the general public.

However, Kagano Nanashi's appearance has nothing to do with the word "ugly". In fact, in Shiori's perspective, she is quite cute.

So why did Seven Sins describe himself as "ugly"?

Shiori keenly realized that this question would be the key to his conquest of the Seven Sins, and his next speech would be the deciding factor in whether he could grasp this key.

Ignoring the unreliable advice that kept coming from his headphones, Shiori decided to go straight for it.

"Not ugly at all, I think she's cute."

"Ugh?"

The answer without any hesitation made Nanashi utter a somewhat stunned and puzzled sound. She regarded her past as a complete black history and she seemed to have never expected to get such an answer.

"Didn't you hear me? I said I think Kagano Nanashi is very cute."

"Cute!?"

Another straightforward statement made Nana Sin retreat half a step. Her expression showed 3 points of shock, 3 points of suspicion, 3 points of confusion and 1 point of surprise.

The old fan chart.

"Don't you think she's cute?"

"How can it be cute!? Stop lying here, I know! You must be saying that on purpose to please me. In your heart, you must hate that little thing! Bah, how hypocritical."

Nanashi retorted, displaying strong verbal aggression as if she was defending something.

"I didn't lie. There was no falsehood in what I said just now."

"Humph, anyone can talk about it."

"In that case..."

Shiori looked at Nanashi seriously, and suddenly reached out and grasped the mirror decoration part of "Shinigami Spiritual Suit·Ninja Soldier", which was the place where the light was emitted when Nanashi launched the attack just now.

"What do you want to do?"

Nanashi was confused by Shiori's strange actions and wondered if this guy thought he could stop the attack by catching his angel.

"Let's make a bet!"

"bet?"

"Well, next we will go to the streets and ask passers-by what they think of Kagamino Nanashi. You decide the location and the people. If someone expresses the opinion that Kagamino Nanashi is ugly, you can always use your angel to attack me."

"……it is good."

After hesitating for a long time, Qi Zui nodded in agreement.

In order to prevent passers-by from saying things against their will because of their appearance, Seven Sins specially used an angel to change their appearance, disguising them as two reporters who were out collecting materials.

In this way, everyone will tell the truth and scold me for being ugly!

With some seemingly very masochistic thoughts, Nanashi and Shiori left the meeting place.

However, what happened next was completely beyond her expectations.

"Kagino Nanashi? Oh, that loli Earth Swordsman, I think she's cute."

"Can you please stop making up stories? If you don't want your eyes, you can donate them to people in need. How can you call that ugly?"

"Can you self-media have a little conscience? Miss Qi Sins and her friends are working hard to protect the world, and you actually want to discredit her to make money from traffic. Which company are you from? I'll pull your hood off!"

"Qibao, fly without worries. Mom will always be with you."

"Hehe, Nanashi-chan, my Nanashi-chan, hehe."

……

Although he encountered a lot of crazy guys, the result was as Shiori expected and received unanimous praise. The Earth Swordsman received very positive reviews from people who watched the video.

"Impossible, this is impossible..."

Compared to the satisfied Shiori, Nanashi's condition is obviously very bad, and it feels like the values ​​​​that she has built up over the years have been completely shattered.

"That's enough, Miss Nanashi. The facts are in front of us. No one 'hates' Nanashi who looks like a child."

Shiori especially emphasized the word "hate", and she was not simply interviewing passers-by just now.

The clues have been collected, and now it's time to reveal the answer.

Kagamino Nanashi's appearance can never be called "ugly", but Nanashi still firmly associates the word "ugly" with her.

Well, since the objective factors do not hold true, the problem can only lie in Nanashi’s own subjective cognition.

The factor that makes a person deny objective facts and think that another person is ugly is very simple, it is nothing more than the feeling of "hate".

Nanashi hates herself as a child, and even hates her to the point of believing that everyone else in the world will hate her too.

This is the conclusion Shiori came to.

If we infer from this conclusion, Shiori gradually understands the deeper meaning behind the various confusing behaviors of the Seven Sins.

She glanced again at the angel who had the power to change the appearance of both enemies and friends, and gradually began to have some guesses about the true face of the Seven Sins.

“…Why?”

Feeling greatly shocked, Nanashi asked bitterly.

"She is one of the Seven Sins, why is she so popular?"

Recalling the experience of being ignored by others in the past, Nanashi felt jealous, but just when this emotion was about to explode, Shiori spoke up.

"If you want to know, why don't you go and see it?"

"What do you mean?"

“No one is born a superstar. The reason why the Seven Sins in the video has become her current personality and behavior must be her own reason.

Instead of thinking about these questions that will never be answered, why not continue watching the video? I have a vague intuition that the Earth Swordsman's past should answer your questions."

"……snort!"

After thinking about Shiori's words for a while, Nanashi snorted coldly and slowly disappeared in front of Shiori.

"By the way, how about Miss Nanashi come to my house for dinner tomorrow, and then watch the video together? It just so happens that everyone wants to meet Miss Nanashi in this world."

"boring."

Nanashi, whose body was almost transparent, sneered disdainfully, and then...

"I want to eat curry, remember not to put chili in it."

After completing the order skillfully, Nanashi disappeared completely and left, leaving behind Shiori with a helpless smile.

"Can't eat spicy food? As expected, Miss Nanashi's true identity should also be a child."

025: Thunder Swordsman

The biggest commonality among intelligent life forms is their extremely strong adaptability.

As time goes by, the video has been played three times, and people who have gained experience and grasped the rules from it have gradually become accustomed to this originally incredible phenomenon, and are even happy to include it as a part of their lives.

The appointed time comes.

Everyone in the service department gathered in the service department on time. Nanashi knocked on the door of the Gokawa family with a nervous mood. The blond bishop sitting in the office quietly postponed the scheduled daily fantasy time of Kallen by one hour. Countless people were looking forward to the arrival of the new video...

Unknowingly, the exposed video affected more and more people.

And as the ultimate beneficiary, Chen Shi, the second generation of Oma Zi-O, what did he see in his eyes at this moment?
