You say this is a love game?

Or perhaps, there was no misunderstanding... She was indeed the murderer who had been wreaking havoc in Night Light City recently, and Mizutani Makoto was his righteous partner who slew demons and evil and upheld justice.

So, it seems normal for the two to be hostile to each other.

Even if she left here, Mizutani Makoto might track her down all the way, treating her as a target that must be killed, investigating her, and hunting her down to the ends of the earth.

...Cheng, will you hope that she will die in the future?

Yes, what really disgusts Mai Yajima is this possibility.

If she leaves here, Mizutani Makoto will be obsessed with the "murderer" and will want to get rid of the harm for a long time in the future, and she is that "harm".

However, since the identity of "Murderer" will soon disappear completely, it would be better to let Cheng and his...descendants kill the mysterious murderer right here.

Anyway, it's quite easy for her to fool them... Then she can just turn into black smoke and disappear in the wind. I don't think they will be able to find any flaws.

It was in this split second.

A streak of lightning tore through the air and actually penetrated in.

"Qiang!!!"

The sound of metal colliding pierced the eardrums and caused the dripping water in the courtyard to tremble slightly.

Chidorimaru's blade shot out from nowhere and accurately blocked Miyamizu Inaba's bloody blade.

Mizutani Makoto actually stood in front of Miyamizu Inaba, holding up Chidorimaru to separate her from the figure.

But he did not fully master the "Thunder Walk".

The spiritual power in the body has not yet stabilized, and the power of thunder jumps unsteadily on the blade.

In order to avoid accidentally hurting Miyamizu Inaba, he was extremely restrained when swinging his sword, and his strength was far less than the full force he used in normal battles.

But he tried to hold back his strength, but Miyamizu Inaba was not aware of this. Her sword was aimed at killing Yajima Mai. The sword was so powerful that it directly overwhelmed Mizutani Makoto's defense.

He didn't have time to summon the gods, so he didn't have the protection of light armor.

"Click——"

The blood blade pressed hard into his shoulder, and blood immediately flowed out of his shoulder.

"?"

At this moment, the world lost its voice.

Hiding within the amulet, Satori Yoshiko watched the scene in astonishment and bewilderment. Chidori hadn't even entered the descent of the gods yet, and now witnessing Mizutani Makoto's sudden betrayal was a profound shock.

The most shocked person present was Miyamizu Inaba.

Her body trembled violently, and a trace of surprise and confusion flashed in her eyes.

Her hand holding the knife suddenly trembled, and she seemed to come to her senses.

Then, she gritted her teeth, quickly put away her knife and retreated, moving her feet lightly. Her figure flashed at this moment, and the knife's momentum changed, and she actually chopped towards Mai Yajima who was protected behind her by Makoto Mizutani.

But as soon as she raised the knife, Mizutani Makoto reacted.

To be honest, Miyamizu Inaba's sword is really "straightforward".

Chidorimaru followed like a shadow and blocked her slash again.

"Qiang!!!"

The two swords collided again, sparks flying.

"Have you been controlled? Senior!"

There was anger in Miyamizu Inaba's tone.

This anger was directed at Mai Yajima behind him.

With her understanding of Mizutani Makoto, she naturally knew that this senior was not someone who would shelter evil spirits, so she couldn't understand why Mizutani Makoto would try to stop her from slaying the demon?

——Have you been manipulated?

This is the most reasonable explanation.

She swung her knife, trying to get past Mizutani Makoto and strike the figure behind him.

But this time, Mizutani Makoto adjusted himself and took a stance. Although he was not good at the one-sword style, he still caught the weakness of Miyamizu Inaba's sword swing. He swung his sword back and directly hit Miyamizu Inaba's bloody blade, knocking her back with one blow.

Then, Chidorimaru floated into the air.

Two katanas appeared in his palms, and he actually fought with her using Niten Ichiryu.

Miyamizu Inaba never actually faced off against Mizutani Makoto.

She only knew that he was a powerful exorcist with strong spiritual power and a Chidori pill that could release thunder. As for his swordsmanship... she had only seen him kill a demon doll before, but the demon doll was an enemy with nothing outstanding, so she couldn't understand where Mizutani Makoto's advantage lay.

So, just this time.

Only then did she feel so intuitively what it meant to be crushed in swordsmanship!

His swordsmanship is so terrifying!

Mizutani Makoto's steps were steady, and upon closer inspection, even his footwork was full of the unique charm of a kendo practitioner, and his swordsmanship was sharp, and in the eyes of Miyamizu Inaba, there was almost no flaw. He used both swords to attack as defense, blocking Miyamizu Inaba's attack route at an extremely fast speed and suppressing her.

Miyamizu Inaba is a wild person after all.

She relies on pure stats and "intuition" to slash monsters. Once she loses her strength and speed advantages, she easily falls into a disadvantage, forcing her to activate her half-ghost state to compensate for the stat deficiencies. This disadvantage is even more serious when encountering an enemy more skilled in swordsmanship.

In other words, in Mizutani Makoto's eyes, Miyamizu Inaba's swordsmanship is no different from being naked.

She really is...full of flaws.

This kendo level is too low.

"Calm down, Miyamizu."

The Liaoyuan sword exuded a scorching breath, which suppressed Miyamizu Inaba's bloody blade. It was only after Miyamizu Inaba was completely suppressed that Mizutani Makoto could have a good talk with her.

"……senior?"

Why do you still call him senior?

In a hurry, you forget everything, right?

Mizutani Makoto shook his head: "I'm not being manipulated. Leave this matter to me."

"why is that?"

"I know her..."

While they were talking in low voices, Mizutani Makoto's eyes fell on the pop-up window that Tongzi gave him.

【Clue 6: The rampant murderer.】

【Task completion rate: 75%】

Clue Six...

Among all the tasks that Makoto Mizutani accepted, only one task was expressed as "clue number".

[Bond Mission: The Girl's Secret (75%)]

Like Miyamizu Inaba, he spotted the figure whose specific outline could not be discerned the moment he rushed out of the tea room.

But unlike Miyamizu Inaba, Tongzi helped him expose the other party's past.

What is "Clue Six"?

It was difficult for Mizutani Makoto to describe his feelings at the moment.

He felt quite like Linghu Chong, who, after going through countless hardships and finally reaching Blackwood Cliff, was about to have a decisive battle with that damned Dongfang Bubai, but found that the other guy looked more and more wrong, until he took off his veil... Oh my god! Dongfang girl?!

How could it be you!

The moment the figure's true identity was revealed, Mizutani Makoto didn't have time to think. Seeing that Miyamizu Inaba was about to chop him down with a knife, he immediately controlled Chidorimaru's Thunder Walk to dodge... It was precisely because he lacked the agility blessing of the God of Power that his control over Thunder Walk plummeted, causing him to not even dare to use force. Fortunately, Chidorimaru was strong enough, so Miyamizu Inaba didn't chop his hand off.

But how to deal with the current situation?

Mizutani Makoto's ideas gradually took shape.

He couldn't reveal Yajima Mai's identity in front of Miyamizu Inaba.

"Anyway, I want to talk to her alone."

"Afterwards, I will give you an explanation, Miyamizu, and... maybe I can find more important information."

If even Yajima Mai is doing evil...

Mizutani Makoto tightened the handle of the knife, which was an extremely rare little action for him who was used to holding the knife correctly.

Flint Slash!

The two sides clashed swords, and now was the perfect time to strike with flint.

Mizutani Makoto's sword was low, and Miyamizu Inawa had no idea how he used it. She tried to use her sharp dynamic vision to capture the trajectory of his sword swing, but when she raised her hand to block the Ryogen sword, Mizutani Makoto's Shizumizu sword in his left hand had already followed closely. The sword did not fall on her, but it did knock the bloody blade away.

After this slash, Mizutani Makoto stepped back and kept some distance.

He had no intention of getting entangled with Miyamizu Inaba.

After using this knife to show that he had no hostility, he actually stepped back directly, loosened his hands, and the two swords were instantly put into Tongzi's backpack.

Then, in the face of Miyamizu Inaba's incredulous gaze, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the wrist of the figure next to him, as if he completely trusted the other party.

The figure stood there in a daze for a while.

It was not until Makoto Mizutani pulled her hand and tried to leave that Mai Yajima came out of her silly, infatuated state and subconsciously shook her hand, as if she wanted to distance herself from Makoto Mizutani.

"Don't make trouble either!"

Mizutani Makoto growled, "If you keep pretending, I'll pull your mask off!"

The blurry figure immediately stood at attention.

But for some reason, she was happy.

Very, very, very happy...

I couldn't help but want to hold my face and rub against the boy next to me.

He said, "Get out of here."

She nodded, full of joy: "...Yeah."

Yajima Mai glanced at Miyami Inaba.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

Miyamizu Inaba felt that the figure seemed to be smiling at him.

At this moment, she still wanted to catch up.

The next moment, a group of tiger thrushes suddenly flew down, briefly blocking Miyamizu Inaba's vision and blocking her way.

By the time she swung her knife to drive away the tiger-thrush in front of her, the two people who were originally in the temple had disappeared.

"Don't look for it~"

Shuten leaned against the wall and looked at Miyamizu Inaba with amusement.

"Mizutani... who is that person?"

Miyamizu Inaba looked at Shuten.

"Who else could it be?"

Shuten grinned as if he had thought of something interesting.

"Isn't this obvious?"

"Mizutani-san, of course he's protecting his girlfriend~"

Miyamizu Inaba's whole body stiffened.

Shuten laughed heartily, and even fanned the flames:

"Oh my, I finally got to go out with this guy. We had such a great chat and we had such a good understanding. But then I ran into his girlfriend. I'm so upset now~"

Chapter 150 I will stand on your side. Tang Shizi and the Cleft-mouthed Woman are fighting.

flight.

To be honest, it was the first time for Mizutani Makoto to experience such a unique way of retreat. His vision seemed to be shrouded in fog, and the long cry of the tiger thrush rang in his ears.
