If she disappeared like this, she...

——"Guarding a guy who doesn't care about you at all, fulfilling a duty that makes you frustrated, and witnessing a life that is getting further and further away from you. The person you care about has someone she cares about even more, and the person you hate is not being nice to you because of your straightforwardness."

Turning to look at Wakaba Mu, Mortis saw her sitting there with lifeless eyes, like a body without a soul.

——"You're running out of time."

As if by some means, Mortis reached out and took up the discarded weapon.

Stepping onto the wooden stage, scorched by pale lights, Mortis rushed towards the puppet closest to her.

Unable to use weapons, she could only use the simplest method to smash the sword against the resurrected thing in front of her.

In Mortis's memory, these readily available personality dolls had long been abandoned and buried by Wakaba Mu. But now, like zombies in a horror movie, they reappeared before her eyes.

After defeating the first puppet, Mortis suddenly felt his body change.

The originally jerky movements became smooth, and the trembling arms became stable.

She silently raised her sword and shield in front of her. Before her mind could figure out what to do, her body naturally used those moves that she didn't quite understand.

Before she could think any more, her body had already moved forward and cut the second puppet in half.

There was no real feeling of having his life taken away. When Mortis saw a ball of cotton appear in front of him, he just felt like he was playing with a group of dolls.

Her figure seemed to melt in the light of the searchlight above her head. In the blink of an eye, she circled to the side of the third man and easily broke its neck with her shield.

Then came the fourth, the fifth...

Only when she was the only person left standing on the stage did she stop belatedly.

"Killer Wakaba Mutsu" jumped out from the pile of puppet corpses at his feet, wearing the same silver-red armor as Mortis, stood in front of Mortis and looked into her eyes.

At this moment, Mortis noticed that her eyes had turned blood red, like the bright red blood beads oozing from the neck of a white dove.

Those emotionless eyes stared at her intently, and when she saw the corner of the mouth in front of her bend upwards, a bone-chilling chill suddenly spread throughout Mortis's body.

——"Change your mind?"

The familiar whispers reappeared.

But this time the whisper did not come from the sword or shield, but from "Wakaba Mutsu" standing opposite her.

His body felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer. Mortis stumbled back a few steps, unable to pick up the sword and shield that had fallen to the ground.

When she hurriedly picked up the weapon on the ground, she heard the low voice again.

——"The last one."

the last one……

Mortis swung his sword-wielding arm and slashed at the "Wakaba Mutsu" in front of him who showed no sign of resistance.

However, the touch from the sword was not at all as soft as when he cut off the puppet before.

The sound of metal clashing made the hairs on the head stand on end, and it was like a bucket of cold water poured on Mortis's head.

The sword blade was blocked by the shield, but the hand holding the sword was still exerting force.

Mortis inexplicably turned the sword, trying to see the face hidden by the dark red blade.

——"The opposite of struggle is death, it always has been."

The next moment, she saw Wakaba Mutsu holding up a shield to resist her, and she also saw herself holding up a sword.

The perspective suddenly shifted, then returned to normal in an instant.

When the dizziness and discomfort gradually subsided, Mortis found himself sitting on the cold ground.

In front of her, the "she" who was originally standing seemed to lose consciousness and fell heavily to the ground.

67. Trust and defensiveness are two different things

Ritsu Narose turned around and saw Shoko Toyokawa, wearing an apron, walking into the study.

The grayish-white headscarf tied in front of her forehead made the gloomy look on her face very obvious.

"You don't actually have to clean your room every day."

Mistakingly believing that the repetitive work day after day had ruined her good mood, Ritsu Narose took the initiative to persuade her to change out of her clothes and have a good rest at home after the band practice.

"No, I just..."

I just feel that Xiaomu has been a little weird lately.

Hesitating, Shoko Toyokawa was unable to express her worries.

Because of the perspective of others, an autistic and introverted girl became lively and cheerful and willing to actively communicate with others - this is undoubtedly a good thing.

But for some reason, whenever she saw Wakaba Mutsu's movements and the enthusiasm and intoxication on his face during rehearsals for a stage play, Toyokawa Shoko felt uneasy.

Can a person's change really be so sudden and drastic?

Several other members of the band now know Wakaba Mutsu, but they are not familiar with him.

As the only person who understands her, Toyokawa Shoko can't come up with an answer. And if she asks others about this question, she will probably get no answer either.

It is not clear what the current changes will lead to in the future. Toyokawa Shoko can only watch her vigilantly and make herself the first line of defense to block the flood season.

Therefore, even though she felt Ritsu Narose's concern for her, she did not tell him about this troublesome duty.

She then mentioned what she saw while cleaning the room.

When she entered the adjacent storage room to clean and wiped the dusty glass cabinet, she saw many models with exquisite appearance and various poses placed in the cabinet.

Without exception, all the models, big and small, show signs of having been processed by craftsmen.

Shoko Toyokawa saw it clearly. When she talked about this, Ritsu Narose, who was sitting in the chair, became noticeably more lively.

Even though she didn't understand what he was saying, seeing his excited look, the uneasiness that had lingered in Toyokawa Shoko's heart quietly dissipated.

"But that's all in the past. I haven't touched those things in a few months."

As if realizing that he had said too much and that the girl in front of him had never understood this field, Ritsu Narushe paused and decisively ended this topic that only entertained him.

Puzzled, Toyokawa Shoko asked, "Why? Don't you like it very much?"

"Because there are too many steps and it's too troublesome," Naruse Ritsu shrugged, "plus I haven't had much time these past few months, so I'm too lazy to start."

"That's it..."

So it’s not that he doesn’t like it, but…

After learning the reason, Shoko Toyokawa recalled the collection she saw in the storage room again, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.

Instead of telling Ritsu Naruse about this idea immediately, she decided to keep it as a surprise and wait for the right time to present it to him.

After watching Toyokawa Shoko, whose cloudy expression had brightened, leave the room, Ritsu Narose blinked and looked back at the computer screen in front of him.

Although there were only a few viewers in the lonely screening room, including him, he did not pause the video while he was speaking.

Turning his attention back to the screen, he just happened to see the scene on the screen where a snake-skinned monster was punched out of its emotions by a genius scientist.

At the same time, fragmented real-time reviews of the movie continued to appear in the chat box next to it.

Ming Bolong, who goes by the pseudonym [Master of Water and Electricity Dual Cultivation], is angrily criticizing this incomprehensible plot, while Jue Yinlong, codenamed [Yakitori Chuanchuanxiang], is marveling at the enormous potential of mankind.

——[Compared to this, I still think it’s more exciting to have two personalities of the same person swap positions.]

——【What kind of evil scientist and coffee shop underground scientist physicist?】

Gu Long's team-building activities are also keeping pace with the times. Compared to organizing a giant halberd dragon operation in which the dragon sneaks into a human city and demolishes a giant dragon-slaying spear, which is euphemistically called "I Picked It Up", an online movie viewing party is obviously more in line with the character of the homebody Gu Long.

Without participating in the discussion about the plot, Ritsu Narose opened the private chat box and asked Jue Yinlong about the dragon crystal.

Just like the Kamen Rider's transformer can always produce a belt from behind his butt, with their joint efforts, similar props were soon produced by them.

If you told the hunters of that world that there was an item that could allow them to instantly change into a full set of armor and possess the power to rival monsters, they would surely laugh and dismiss it as an unrealistic fantasy or hysteria caused by unrealistic ambition.

But now, a tool that utilizes the ancient dragon transformation technology has been created.

Why would ancient dragons create things that are beneficial to humans?

Mingse Ritsu's purpose has already been revealed, but Jue Yinlong's idea is even simpler.

——【Have Fun】

Very brief, yet very true to her character.

——[Don’t you think that the battle of real swords on the stage is more exciting than the drama performed by empty words?]〝Lin Yuling Abandoned (Nine)焐『覽榿氿ling废(九)焐『覽榿榿� ...

Ritsu Naruse agreed with this very much, so he did not deny it.

However, what is worth noting is whether the other party would really be so kind as to pay for her verbal "fun" in such a way that it is obvious that the investment cannot be recovered?

Whether it is the Kojiki or the Koiki, even ancient Greek mythology, which does not belong to the same cultural region, has similar stories:

If you eat food from the underworld, you will become a resident of the underworld.

The materials used by Naruse Ritsu were all taken from the monsters he killed, but the tools made by Jue Yinlong were all derived from the transformation of her own power.

Would it really be a good thing to allow humans with unequal power and status to borrow her power?

In Ritsu Narose's opinion, trust and vigilance are two different things.

He trusted the ancient dragon because of past experiences, but at the same time he remained wary because of his understanding of her.

After a moment of thought, Ritsu Narose opened the second chat box.

While he was asking Hachiman Kailing about her recent situation, Belmont on the other side was watching with interest as Mortis gradually adapted to his body.

She is completely different from the previous "Wakaba Mu", but they still have some similarities in some minor details.

She specializes in medicine, but she has not yet studied psychiatry.

But even if an outsider were to examine this human's behavior, they would conclude that "she is mentally ill."

To be honest, Belmont had never imagined at first that a human being could perform such an abstract operation.

What does it mean that "I" splits into two different "I"s, and then personality number one splits into number three, number three is replaced by number two, and number two takes control of number one?

She was confused about the current situation, but to save Gu Long's face, she responded to this human who came to her on his own initiative with an unfathomable attitude.

68. Bubble Dance

"so beautiful……"

Holding the large sword high in both hands, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but let out a sigh as if she was talking in a dream.

There was no gray-iron color with a solemn and murderous aura. On top of the gorgeous and beautiful light purple knife marks, there was even a light pink pattern similar to flower petals.

As a weapon, this sword is not as fierce as it should be. Instead, it looks like an exhibit that should be placed in an art hall for tourists to admire and take pictures.

For those who are obsessed with looks, its lethality is truly terrifying.

Standing in Ritsu Narose's bedroom, Chihaya Aine was trying out the "new power" that Ritsu Narose mentioned.

"Aine, don't you consider trying something else?"

"No, no, no! This is it! It has to be this!"

Fox Sword [The Moon Shines, the Heart is Clear]——This katana, with its impeccable name and shape, is exactly the best choice for Chihaya Aine!

It's the Best Match!

Putting aside her beloved katana for the moment, Chihaya Aine took the headband handed to her by Ritsu Narushe.

On both sides of the headband are pink decorations similar to fox ears, and in the center of the headband is inlaid with a piece of colorful pearls.

Gently touch the fox ears, and a soft and moist touch will come from the surface.

This gorgeous and lively accessory hits Chihaya Aine's sweet spot. Wearing it between her pink hair, Chihaya Aine suddenly feels some changes happening in her body.

There were no special light or sound effects. Chihaya Aine lowered her head and saw a set of clothes similar to a dress suddenly appear on her.

With white as the main tone, and gradient decorations of lavender and pink, the overall visual effect is as soft as cherry blossoms.

The upper body is in the style of a corseted kimono, with the collar and cuffs decorated with purple-red scale patterns. A wide brocade belt is tied around the waist, and the hanging tassels and knot decorations enhance the classical charm of the shrine maiden's costume.

Walking to the floor-length mirror that Ritsu Narose had prepared in advance, Chihaya Aine stared at the "fox shrine maiden" suit on herself in amazement.
