Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

"We are not strong enough now. If we become sword masters, we will have time to destroy it."

What Amemiya Mahiru meant was that it is never too late for a woman to take revenge.

Nan Shizhi asked again: "Sister, are you planning to come back? The Nan family no longer has my father and grandfather. I am the only one left. I need your help."

Amemiya Mahiru didn't answer. Instead, he stroked his sister's hair and said softly, "It's almost dawn. Let's stop the wake here. Go and have a rest. I'll help take care of the housework for the time being."

This was also an answer. Minami Shiori opened her mouth, nodded bitterly, and went to her room to rest.

The maid approached quietly: "Miss..."

"Azi, just call me Mahiru. I'm not some young lady." Amamiya Mahiru hugged the woman who had taken care of him for many years.

"I'm really happy to see that you're okay." Ah Zi hugged her and shed tears, thinking back to when she left, she thought they would never see each other again.

The appearance of Amemiya Mahiru caused different reactions from everyone in the Nan family. Some were silent, some were happy, and some were afraid.

However, her momentum was no longer the same as before. Coupled with her record and strength of defeating Nan Shihui personally, she seized the right to speak in just a few words.

after breakfast.

Amemiya Mahiru returned to the familiar courtyard, stepping on the cobblestone floor paved by Minami Shiori herself, and gazing at the attic where she was imprisoned with her heavenly eyes, as if she were in another world.

The change in my life began from here. The cage that once bound the blind canary has long since become so dilapidated and run-down.

"How does it feel to be back here again?"

The voice sounded.

After nearly a month, Amamiya Mahiru heard these familiar words again. She could hardly control her expression. She turned around suddenly and asked, "Sir?"

"I'm here." Bai Yu was near her: "But I won't show up now, otherwise it will feel weird."

Like a wife bringing her husband home.

"When did you come?" Mahiru lowered her excitement and asked, "Have you finished your work, sir?"

"It's not completely over, but I still have some free time. Didn't I come to see you?" Bai Yu moved closer. "As for when I arrived... not long ago, only half an hour."

He picked up a strand of the woman's long hair, which was filled with the familiar scent of white plum blossoms.

I've smelled it too many times and I'm a little drunk on it.

She could feel her hair being grabbed, and her earrings blushed shyly: "I didn't have time to wash my hair yesterday... and it's also stained with dew and dust."

Bai Yu also realized that he was a bit abrupt and frivolous.

He knew he could take the initiative, and if he had, he would have won long ago.

But it is better to tease in moderation. If you are too active, you will not be able to experience the passive happiness.

He released his hand and glanced at the courtyard: "Nan family pills."

Amamiya Mahiru smoothed her messy hair and tidied herself up before continuing, "The Nan family was already on the verge of collapse, otherwise how could they have fallen to the point of selling their daughter? It's a pity for Shiori."

"What are you going to do?"

"Persuade her to give up and go back with me."

"The Nan family is one of the Chinese clans after all. Are they just going to give up this legacy that spans hundreds of years?"

"Shiori can't protect you alone." Amamiya Mahiru had already seen the reality: "Even if I join you, I can't change the ending."

"I'm relieved that you think so." Bai Yu complained, "Because it's really shameful to go back to your ex."

"In my eyes, he is not even as good as a finger of Mr. Lian from the Nan family." Amamiya Mahiru said sincerely.

"Really? Why can't I see it?"

"Because I'm hiding you in my eyes." Mahiru pointed to her closed eyes and said, "You are my eyes."

This girl is really satisfying.

After enjoying a few moments of chatting to improve their mutual favorability, Bai Yu got straight to the point: "Actually, I received a letter."

"A letter?" Amamiya Mahiru was about to ask 'whose', but then she realized what was going on and her thoughts raced: "Is it from me?"

Bai Yu nodded: "Yeah."

Amamiya Mahiru then asked, "What are the specific contents?"

"Two pieces of information... First, the Nan family is in crisis. Nan Shizhi will be kidnapped," Bai Yu said succinctly. "Second, your uncle, Amamiya Ryuji, has been found and is trapped. If we don't rescue him, he will be forced to fuse with the Ghost Hand and will surely die."

"This..." Amamiya Mahiru's breathing quickened. "Is this what my future self mentioned in the letter I wrote to you? Does she mean for us to make a choice?"

Bai Yu said, "Her original intention was for me to choose, but it's more appropriate to give it to you. I've woven many destinies, most of which were done arbitrarily and on my own. This time is an exception. You fought for this opportunity, so of course the decision should be yours."

Mahiru Amemiya hesitated. This was a dilemma, a standard trolley problem.

Bai Yu said, "Just don't let yourself regret it. Will you choose your sister or your uncle?"

"I, I don't know." Amamiya Mahiru knew that she was being naughty by saying this, so she kicked the ball back: "I hope that you can make the decision for me. This is too difficult for me."

"Okay." Bai Yu said without hesitation: "Then stay here and pretend you know nothing. You wouldn't have known about Amamiya Ryuji's death until you returned to Kanto."

"..."

"Not satisfied?"

"..."

"Then go and save your uncle, try to disperse the Nan family, and let Nan Shizhi find a place to hide. Maybe there will be a glimmer of hope." Bai Yu spoke again.

"..."

Still remain silent.

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "Silly girl, how can you have both in this world?"

Amemiya Mahiru looked like she was about to cry.

Bai Yu said, "Even if you drop little pearls, you won't be able to cry to death those evil people."

Amamiya Mahiru turned her head away and for the first time, she started to sulk: "Sir... you're bad!"

"It's not that I've become bad, but that you've become greedy." The Fate Editor said darkly, "You want both."

"These two are the only relatives I have left." Amamiya Mahiru grabbed her sleeve and asked unwillingly, "It's difficult. Can't I be a little greedy?"

"certainly……"

Suddenly he changed the subject: "Yes!"

Amamiya Mahiru raised her cheek with a silly look on her face: "Eh?"

Bai Yu wiped away the tears from her eyes: "Who do you think I am? I am the editor of fate. I can change the fate of just one or two people!"

Chapter 418 Poetry and Distance

Roadside telephone booth.

Shibata took out a coin and put it into the pay phone. After confirming that the power was on, he pressed the button and started dialing.

After a while, the call was connected, but the other party didn't speak.

Shibata whispered, "I'm Shibata, and I've done as you instructed."

There was silence for a moment on the other end, and then an old voice came: "I understand."

"Is this really a good idea?" Shibata lowered his voice, "The Nan family will be completely expelled after today."

The old voice said calmly, "So what? They're just servants and domestic servants. They can be rehired sooner or later... What I need is the immediate result. The key is whether you delivered my letter to Minami Shiori."

"It has been confirmed that it has been handed over to her."

"That's fine. Next, just find a place to stay." The old man's voice was low.

Shibata asked hesitantly, "Will she really do what's planned?"

"Yes." The old man said calmly, "No one knows what kind of person Minami Shiori is better than me. She will definitely not miss this opportunity."

Shibata fell silent and hung up the phone. Suddenly, he shivered and felt as if all the strength in his body was being drained away.

Though the man was disabled, he became even more terrifying than before...his physical deformity only made his mind stronger, creating a monster more powerful than before.

The man in the past was like a dragon guarding the treasure, but now he has broken free from the shackles of the treasure and even uses the treasure as a trap and bait, becoming more unrestrained and without bottom line.

Almost everyone will be deceived.

Even the five united families may not know that there is this old monster operating in secret behind the scenes.

Everyone is being targeted and will sooner or later become the fat meat in his mouth.

Shibata's fingers trembled, and the fallen coin rolled along the ground and fell into the sewer, making a crisp sound. It disappeared with the water, just like a life that had fallen into decline.

……

When I woke up, it was already dusk in the afternoon.

Minami Shiori woke up and dispelled her fatigue. She had just finished washing up. She looked at her clothes and found her favorite sailor suit in the closet.

The movie "Sailor Suit and Machine Gun" became popular in Fuso and left a deep impression on her. Since then, she often wore a sailor suit when going in and out of the house.

After hesitating for a moment, he chose a more solemn and serious outfit.

She was originally in a good mood thinking that her sister had returned, but the news that followed made her nervous.

"I'm leaving." Amamiya Mahiru's coming and going were unexpected.

Minami Shiori thought about it, and without saying anything to persuade her to stay, she just nodded and said, "I'll take you to the station."

The two of them walked through the hall hung with white and black silk and left the mourning hall.

He left the house under the watchful eyes of the guards and servants.

Those people who had been somewhat relieved by the return of Amamiya Mahiru were once again shaken in their hearts.

At this time, a drizzle began to fall from the sky again.

A loyal Nan family guard gritted his teeth and stepped forward: "Miss, can't you stay? The Nan family needs your help now!"

He bowed his head, and so did the other guards and servants.

It was all black, like a dense swarm of ants.

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn and dignified.

This group of people are like worker ants. They need the guidance and protection of the ant king. They are also responsible for supporting the ant king. Without the worker ants, the ant king will fall and die.

"Shut up, Shinsuke!" Minami Shizhi scolded, "The Nan family and my sister have long since settled their grudge! How is forcing my sister like this any different from what Grandpa did back then?"

Amemiya Mahiru said nothing.

Nan Shizhi angrily said, "Get out of the way!"

The crowd stood up and moved to both sides, creating a path.

The sisters walked side by side and left the Nan family.

As she walked out of the door, Minami Shiori let out a sigh of being overwhelmed. She knew that with her sister's departure, the Minami family's already limited cohesion would be shattered again. It would no longer be shaky, but would collapse.

At this time, Amamiya Mahiru said, "Actually, I really hope that the Nan family will be destroyed. Only then can you be free like me."

Minami Shiori shook her head: "I am free."

"That's just what you think." Amamiya Mahiru opened her umbrella and walked forward. "We both have chains on us. The difference is that my chains are visible, while yours are invisible."

Minami Shiori opened her mouth, seemingly unable to refute.

It’s not that she hasn’t thought about leaving, but every time she had this thought, it was as if invisible chains were wrapped around her body in her memory, binding her to that house, and she couldn’t leave or break free.

Suddenly, Amamiya Mahiru raised her hand and gently grasped her sister's wrist, asking, "If I were to forcibly abduct you now, would you resist?"

Minami Shiori pulled back her right hand almost instantly as if she had been electrocuted.

This is also an answer.

Amemiya Mahiru smiled and said nothing.

"I'm sorry." Minami Shiori knew that her sister meant well.

"I forgive you." The elder sister touched her younger sister's hair, still gentle.

"Now it's my turn to envy my sister." Minami Shizhi said confusedly: "I never thought so in the past."

"What were you thinking about in the past?" Mahiru asked softly.
