A beautiful girl who transmigrates into a Herrscher of the Void is treated like an elf and conquered

There—Shido saw a face that he least wanted to see at that moment, yet was all too familiar to him.

"Ten...Ten Fragrance...?"

His eyes widened, and he called out the name of the girl standing before him in disbelief.

That's right, standing there like a goddess of judgment is none other than Tohka, who should have taken refuge in the underground shelter of Raizen High School!

She was soaking wet, as if she had just rushed in from a downpour, her long, dark hair clinging to her cheeks and neck.

Moreover, she seemed to have run there with all her might, her chest heaving violently, her breathing quite rapid, and her amethyst eyes burning with a mixture of shock, hurt, and the fury of betrayal!

However, what made Shido even more disoriented was that on Tohka's right leg, like a human-shaped pendant, she was tightly embracing a figure that was also soaking wet, covered in charred soot, dust and scratches, and looked like it was on its last breath.

—It is indeed the Sen-in!

He seemed to have risked his life to grab Tohka's leg in an attempt to stop her, but he obviously failed and was dragged all the way from who-knows-where by the enraged Tohka!

Chiin raised his face, which was covered in mud and looked utterly lifeless, and met Shido's despairing gaze.

In the instant their eyes met, Shido clearly read the message that Senin was conveying with her life on her lips:

"Your godfather... really did his best... Tohka may not be the brightest... but she's incredibly strong... The conclusion is... just wait to die, there's no hope for her."

First came Yoshina's angry questioning, then Tohka caught them in the act of adultery.

Shido felt his brain had completely stopped thinking, with only two words echoing wildly: —It's over!

Chapter 222 Cross-examination

"——Shidou!"

As if to interrupt Shido's already blank thoughts, Tohka swayed her body and spoke in a trembling voice filled with sobs and anger.

For some reason, even though he was just being called by his name, Shido felt a chill run down his spine, and cold sweat soaked his back.

"...What were you doing just now?" Tohka's voice was low and deep, like the stillness before a storm.

"...Uh, do...what..."

Shido instinctively wanted to reach out and touch the lips that had just touched Yoshino, trying to cover it up or explain, but he immediately realized that this was just like trying to hide something obvious, so he hurriedly hid his hand behind his back, his movements stiff and awkward.

But for some reason, it seems that his brain has been linked to his counterparts in other timelines, and he now really wants to say, "Even so, what kind of relationship I have with Yoshino has nothing to do with you, Tohka."

But at least he managed to hold it in.

Oh dear, why would I say that? You all agree, right?

How could anyone talk to a girl who likes them like that?

However, Tohka seemed extremely dissatisfied with Shido's attempt to cover up his actions. She revealed an expression of mixed grievance and anger, like a child throwing a tantrum after being betrayed by the person they trusted most, and squeezed out an even more trembling voice from deep in their throat:

"—I...I was so worried about you...!"

"what……?"

"I can't believe you...you were flirting with another girl! What's going on?! Aa ...

Boom-! ! !

Just as Tohka shouted with all her might and stomped her foot on the floor, the solid cement floor, centered on her landing point, crumbled like a fragile biscuit with a loud "BANG!"

Suddenly, a shallow pit appeared, and spiderweb-like cracks spread out around it!

"Wh...wh ...

Even if an ordinary high school girl stomped her feet hard, she could never cause this kind of damage!

Of course, Tohka is not an ordinary high school girl... However, since Tohka's spirit power is currently sealed, her physical abilities should not exceed the limits of common sense!

"What... what's going on, Kotori...!" Shido asked desperately into his headset.

Then, Kotori's reply, tinged with a heavy sigh, came through the earphones:

"So...didn't I say this before? Shido, you and Tohka are connected by an invisible thread, so if Tohka's mental state becomes extremely unstable, the sealed spiritual power will probably flow backward..."

"Huh... ah? What does that mean? Is Tohka's mental state unstable right now?"

"That's right! And it's extremely unstable! Before things get out of control, quickly find a way to improve Tohka's mood! Immediately! Right now!"

"That's true... but what should I do?" Shido looked at Tohka, who was like a volcano about to erupt, and felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

And at that moment, perhaps realizing that this might be Yoshino's only chance to live a peaceful life was being ruined.

Perhaps out of dissatisfaction with Tohka's sudden appearance interrupting their "good time," Yoshina's words suddenly became unusually aggressive, and she preemptively attacked:

"That older sister..."

"Tohka! My name is Tohka!" Tohka corrected angrily.

"Tohka~" Yoshina said in a deliberately drawn-out tone, filled with pity and provocation, "Although it's a little embarrassing to say this to you, well~ Shido-kun, he's probably already tired of you, isn't he?"

"Varied……!" "……!"

Tohka and Shido held their breath, staring incredulously at the puppet that had uttered those outrageous words.

No, how should I put it?

Yoshina was stating an obvious fact, her tone both light and cruel.

"From what I overheard your conversation, it seems that Shido broke some promise with Tohka and ran off to Yoshina's side? Now you should understand, right? He—his—own—chosen us, you know?"

“——……!”

Tohka's shoulders shook violently, and her amethyst-like eyes instantly filled with tears, revealing an expression of impending tears, as if the world had collapsed.

"You...you bastard, what nonsense are you spouting—Mug!"

Just then, Senin, who had been pretending to be dead while clinging to Tohka's legs, suddenly mustered her last bit of strength and pounced on Yoshino, trying to cover her troublemaking "mouth"!

He absolutely cannot let the situation deteriorate any further!

However, enraged Tohka didn't even look, and immediately delivered a precise stomp (War Stomp!) –

Chiin screamed as Tohka's foot firmly pressed down on his waist, forcing him back to the ground, where he could not move. He could only raise one hand and cast a desperate look at Shido, a look that seemed to say, "I did my best," "Good luck," and "How can this brat be so strong?" along with an internationally friendly gesture.

Freed from the distraction, Yoshino, the hand puppet, continued her sarcastic attack with an even more delighted tone, clearly pleased with the situation:

"Oh dear~ I'm so sorry, it's all because Yoshina is too charming~?"

It swayed its body and said in a tone that seemed comforting but was actually sarcastic:

"It's not that there's anything wrong with Tohka! It's just that even if Shido 'abandoned' you and chose to come to Yoshino's side, you shouldn't blame him, right? After all, choosing someone cuter is a boy's nature~"

"Shut up! Shut up, shut up, shut up!" Tohka covered her ears and shook her head frantically, trying to block out the harsh words.

"It's no use! Saying that won't get you anywhere!"

"Huh~ You said it's useless?" Yoshina seemed to have heard something funny.

"But look, look, even Shido himself said it very clearly. He said—'Tohka is already an unwanted child'~?"

This is a completely fabricated and extremely malicious slander!

But Tohka, on the verge of an emotional breakdown, had already lost all reason.

The moment she heard those words, her pent-up anger and resentment exploded!

"Ughh ...

Tohka let out a shrill scream and suddenly reached out and grabbed Yoshina's "chest" (the doll's body) tightly!

It was just a small hand puppet, so it was easily forcibly pulled from Yoshino's hand and then held high in the air by Tohka.

"…………!"

The moment the puppet was taken away, Yoshino, who had been hiding behind it, suddenly opened her eyes wide.

Her deep blue eyes were filled with unprecedented terror and helplessness, as if what had been taken away was not just the puppet, but her only bridge to the outside world, her shield, a part of her…

The fragile calm she had maintained was shattered, and extreme fear spread across her face.

The situation is completely out of control!

Chapter 223 Fear

The instant Yoshino was taken away by Tohka, the blue-haired girl who had been hiding under the cloak and under Yoshino's protection experienced a violent reaction.

Her eyes rolled uncontrollably, her face turned deathly pale, fine beads of cold sweat covered her forehead, her breathing became unusually rapid and shallow, as if she couldn't get enough air, and even her fingertips began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Yoshina...?"

She let out a weak and fearful cry, her eyes fixed on the rabbit puppet that Tohka was clutching in her hand.

However, Tohka, blinded by anger and sadness, was completely unaware of Yoshino's unusual behavior.

She unleashed all her anger on the "culprit" in her hands, casting a sharp, piercing gaze at the puppet she gripped tightly, and relentlessly pressing for answers:

"I...I'm not an unwanted child! Shido...because Shido once said I could stay here! I won't allow you to keep fooling me! Hey! Why are you all silent now?! Weren't you so talkative just now?!"

She seemed to completely mistake the puppet itself for the one speaking, and grabbed the rabbit puppet's "collar" tightly, shaking it wildly back and forth.

Seeing her most important friend being treated so roughly, Yoshino let out a muffled, heart-wrenching cry.

The slight "composure" and "aggression" that Yoshina just displayed seemed like a mirage, shattering instantly.

Her whole body trembled violently like a frightened animal, her eyes filled with extreme fear.

Then, as if trying to escape this terrible reality, or perhaps summoning her remaining courage, she suddenly pulled the hood of her cloak down even lower, almost completely covering her face, while reaching out her trembling little hand and timidly grabbing the hem of Tohka's clothes.

"Huh? Wh...what is it? Get out of my way! I'm talking to this awful guy right now!"

Tohka impatiently tried to shake her off.

"—Please…give it back to me…!"

From beneath the cloak came Yoshino's tearful, desperate plea.

In order to get the puppet that Tohka had hoisted high up with both hands and was far away from her, the petite Yoshino began to jump around clumsily and desperately, trying to reach it.

"Shido! Quick! Stop them! Senin is no longer a hopeless case, he's practically a corpse! If this continues, both of the spirits will go berserk!" Kotori's urgent voice rang in Shido's ears.

Shido, finally snapping out of his shock, quickly stepped forward and said to Tohka, both embarrassed and anxious:

"Tohka! Wait! Could... could you please give that puppet back to Yoshino first? It's very important to her!"

These words were like igniting the last powder keg! Tohka turned her head sharply, staring at Shido with an incredulous gaze, a mixture of shock and deeper pain, her voice trembling:

"So...so this girl...is more important than me?! Shido!!!"

At the height of utter chaos, Yoshino's patience and fear finally reached their breaking point!

"Ugh...!!!!"

With a suppressed whimper that finally burst forth, an astonishing chill suddenly spread outwards from Yoshino! Moisture in the air instantly condensed into ice crystals, and the temperature plummeted!

Immediately afterwards, a huge figure appeared out of thin air—a giant doll that was nearly three meters long and looked somewhat short, stout, and bloated.

Its body surface is as smooth as metal, and it is engraved with delicate white patterns everywhere.

And in what appears to be a head, there are two long ears that look like a rabbit's!

Zadkiel, the Ice Golem!

"Roar--!!!"

The ice puppet let out a low, inhuman roar, and its body was filled with visible white freezing air, as if an absolute zero domain had been unfolded!

"Shido! Do you see that?! That's an angel! The strongest spear that goes hand in hand with the spirits that protect the spirits! It's the miracle that makes a spirit worthy of being called a spirit, a 'miracle with a shape'! Have you forgotten Tohka's 'Sandalphon'?! Get out of the way!!" Kotori's warning was sharp and piercing.

No reminder is needed at all!

As the ice puppet appeared, several huge, sharp-edged ice bullets instantly condensed, shooting indiscriminately towards Tohka and Shido with a whistling sound as they tore through the air!

"Tohka! Danger!"

Shido's pupils contracted sharply, and without thinking, he lunged at Tohka, who was still in a daze, and rolled to the ground with her in his arms, narrowly avoiding the fatal ice bullet.

The ice bullets slammed into the walls and ground behind them, exploding instantly and leaving huge ice holes and spreading layers of ice.

In the chaos, the rabbit puppet that Tohka was holding flew out of her hand and landed on an open ground not far away.

"Yoshina!"

Yoshino exclaimed in surprise, and the Ice Puppet immediately stretched out its huge arm, deftly picked up the hand puppet on the ground, and carefully handed it to Yoshino.
