This is not the date I wanted.

"Ku—"

Tohka couldn't help but grit her teeth.

Although she was unwilling to accept the disadvantageous situation, Tohka could not wait to admit it.

To be honest, if we only talk about swordsmanship, there is an insurmountable gap between Shidao and Tohka. Even if there is a difference in spiritual power capacity, as long as Shidao picks up the Aosha-ko, Tohka is confident that she can definitely win.

However, this only applies to normal situations. At present, Tohka is carrying the unconscious Meng Yue on his back.

Movement was restricted, and there were more things to take into consideration. I don't know if Shidou noticed this, but in addition to attacking Tohka, he also tried to attack Mengyue from time to time.

He must not let Shidou get behind him, otherwise Mengyue would be in danger.

Tohka clearly understood this. At the same time, she also knew in her heart that as long as she put aside Meng Yue behind her, she would definitely be able to subdue Shidao.

——Throw it away.

——Throw it away!

——Just throw away this troublesome burden!

"Long-winded!"

Wielding the Aosha-Kou, Tohka deflected all of Shido's attacks and shouted as if to dispel the distracting thoughts in her mind.

"Meng Yue is not a burden! I have made an agreement with her that I will definitely bring her to Shidao!"

How many spirits had Shidou saved so far? How much pain had he gone through? How many times had he fallen to the ground and almost couldn't stand up? Tohka felt that she couldn't count them all.

Why do we need to save the elves? Tohka couldn't understand this reason.

But she thought that it was too unreasonable for someone who had given so much to others without any reward, without any hesitation, to not be saved when he was in danger. So, this time it was her turn to repay Shidao.

However, this idea was not correct. Now she understood.

If it was simply a matter of repaying a favor, relying solely on the moral obligation of gratitude, Tohka would not have been able to hold on until now.

She likes Gokawa Shido, especially likes him, or more accurately, loves him. That's why she doesn't want Shido to die, and doesn't want Shido to leave her.

and--

[…Hmm. Maybe my preferences are the same as yours, Tohka.]

To be honest, when she heard Meng Yue's answer, Shi Xiang was a little bit at a loss. It can even be said that she felt a little jealous.

Perhaps Meng Yue herself does not know how admirable and dazzling her reliability, thoughtfulness and honesty are in the eyes of others.

Tohka felt both happy and nervous that she had the same feelings as such a person.

(I like Shidou. But at the same time, Mengyue is also my family.)

Therefore, it is not enough for me to succeed alone, I must help Mengyue to succeed in saving her.

No one knows better than her how desperate and painful it is to lose the life of an important person because of one's relationship.

Shidao raised his right hand high and chopped down fiercely from above.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

Instantly, Tohka's eyes became sharp, and she poured her remaining spiritual energy and all her strength into the Aosha-gong, swinging the sword upwards fiercely.

Clang! With a loud noise, the Aosha-Kou held by Shidao was lifted up into the night sky and turned into light particles that drifted away with the wind. The right hand holding the Aosha-Kou could not help but lean back sharply.

however--

"…Railgun…"

Shidao's body turned half a circle, with his left hand hidden behind his back. At this time, the muzzle of the Dawn Sage's cannon was aimed at Tohka's face, accumulating terrifying energy.

(--not good!)

Tohka tried to dodge, but at this moment, the limited spiritual equipment that Aosha Kou had deployed disappeared. The previous attack completely exhausted Tohka's spiritual power. The huge gravity and the pain that followed made her movements stiff.

Just when Tohka thought she had given up all hope, a voice suddenly rang in her ears, causing her eyes to widen in surprise.

——Cover your ears.

Without any hesitation, Tohka immediately covered her ears with her hands.

“——————————————————————————”

She didn't hear any sound, she only saw Shidao's face suddenly twisted in pain.

The next moment, the railgun that was about to be fired exploded at the muzzle of the Sage of Dawn.

——————————————————I am the dividing line for shifting perspectives——————————————

During the battle between Tohka and Shidou, Mengyue had already woken up.

Rather, anyone who can sleep soundly during such an intense battle is truly a talent.

(Don’t act rashly.)

Although awake, Meng Yue did not show any signs of waking up. She understood that Tohka was in a state of high concentration at this time, and if she was distracted by any change, she would be defeated by Shidao immediately.

(endure.)

Meng Yue kept reminding herself this.

In fact, at this time, Meng Yue's body had already recovered some spiritual power.

After all, Shidao used Meng Yue's moves, and the spiritual power in it was Meng Yue's own power. However, when the spiritual power was exhausted, there was no angel or spiritual equipment to assist, and it was not replenished through the spiritual power channel. Therefore, the absorption efficiency was extremely poor.

After enduring such a strike of lightning, only one thousandth of it was absorbed into Meng Yue's body.

This little bit of spiritual power is only enough for Mengyue to use one move.

She had already realized that she was a burden to Shixiang, and she would not have any complaints even if Shixiang threw her aside. But since Shixiang did not give up her plan, she would also try her best to do what she was going to do.

"…Railgun…"

After hearing this voice, Mengyue opened her eyes without hesitation.

"Cover your ears!"

After just a brief notice, Meng Yue began to mobilize the spiritual power in her body. She believed that Shixiang would be able to understand her thoughts.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaa——!”

Recreating Meijiu's moves as the Pojun singer from her memory, Mengyue put her spiritual power into her roar, emitting lethal sound waves.

Although the power is not great, it is enough to cause Shidou's movements to become stalemate.

Then, as the original owner of the Sage of the Dawn, she naturally knew at which stage of using the railgun would be most fatal to be interrupted.

(You actually used their angels in front of their two original owners. This is not good enough, Shidou.)

"Tohka!"

"Ok!"

Just as Mengyue shouted, Tohka rushed into Shidou's arms and kissed him gently on the lips.

"Mengyue, next you will also--"

After confirming that the spiritual energy in her body was replenished, Tohka hurriedly wanted to bend down so that Mengyue behind her could take the opportunity to kiss Shidou.

“Aa ...

However, after another spiritual power channel was cleared, the spiritual power in Shidao's body was stimulated again.

As if it anticipated that it would disappear in one more step, the "beast" began to struggle with all its might.

A huge tornado suddenly rose from the ground, and the fierce hurricane swept everything around it into the air.

In an instant, the wind swept, and Tohka once again distanced herself from Shidao, but it was not enough. The weight of the two girls was obviously not enough to stabilize their bodies in this tornado, and Tohka's feet were forced off the ground.

If this continues, both of them will be blown away. - Tohka made a prompt decision and threw Meng Yue onto a large tree that was still rooted in the ground at the critical moment.

"Meng Yue! Shidao is counting on you!"

26 Family Contract

==============================

"Meng Yue! Shidao is counting on you!"

"Tohka!"

Meng Yue raised her head anxiously and shouted. However, Tohka was still blown away by the violent tornado along with her gradually receding figure.

"hateful……"

Holding on to the branches of the tree tightly with both hands to prevent herself from being blown away by the hurricane, Mengyue looked at Shidao not far away and couldn't help gritting her teeth.

Everyone has retreated with injuries, and Tohka has been blown away by the tornado. The only person still around Shidao is Mengyue himself.

The attack just now had already used up all the spiritual power in Meng Yue's body. It can be said directly that Meng Yue is now just an ordinary person with good physical fitness. If he rashly rushed to Shidao, he might not only fail to save Shidao, but also lose his own life.

"Ah - I'm on it. Is it not okay for me to do it?!"

Meng Yue roared loudly, trying to dispel the fear that was emerging in her heart.

She pressed her body tightly against the tree trunk, trying to reduce the area of ​​force between herself and the hurricane, and slowly climbed down from the tree. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she lay on the muddy ground without paying attention.

Boom——

Just three seconds after Meng Yue left the big tree, the tree, which looked to be at least fifty years old, was finally unable to withstand the tornado and was uprooted along with its roots and swept into the air.

Ahahaha...if I had stayed any later, I wouldn't have been able to laugh at all.

Meng Yue laughed dryly in fear, and lay down on the ground regardless of the mud, crawling forward against the hurricane that was as sharp as a blade.

It hurts…it hurts…

Mengyue's whole body was wailing.

What swept over was not just a simple hurricane. Although the concentration had been greatly reduced, there was still a considerable amount of spiritual energy surrounding Shidao.

For Meng Yue, who was no longer able to unfold her spiritual outfit, this was as painful as her physical body rushing into a sea of ​​sulfuric acid.

But even so, Meng Yue did not retreat. No matter how embarrassed or ugly she looked, she held on to the ground tightly with her ten fingers and moved her body forward bit by bit.

"We've come this far... How can we allow everyone's efforts to go to waste...?"

Meng Yue squeezed out these words from between her teeth.

Really, why did it become like this? Meng Yue couldn't help but wonder.

Saving the elves, this has always been the boy's code of conduct. Like a fool, the boy abandoned his peaceful and tranquil world and walked into this dangerous conflict.

Meng Yue couldn't stop him. Because she was one of the elves who was saved by his innocence, she had no right to stop the boy from doing good. All she could do was to minimize the danger when the boy encountered obstacles that he had to cross, and give him a push from behind.

But at the same time, she didn't intend to ask for much from the boy.

The feelings in her heart were not false. Meng Yue didn't want to admit it, but no matter how many times she confirmed it, the answer she got was always unique. It was also because of this that she understood that she was not the only one who had such feelings.

Mengyue does not intend to say that she is inferior to everyone else. If she were in a different situation, she would not be unwilling to try to follow her own heart like the characters in those campus romance light novels. No matter what the result is, Mengyue has the confidence to accept it calmly.

However, the boy and she both had things they had to do, so Meng Yue decided to give up for the time being.

If you want to gain something, you must give up something. Although it may be a bit unwilling, if the victory or defeat is already determined when you don't know it, Meng Yue has no choice but to accept it honestly.

No, it should be said that it is precisely because everyone is an unexpectedly good girl that Mengyue can make such a decision with peace of mind.

and so--

boom--!

"Ah... Damn it... It's bleeding... It's such an eyesore..."

Probably hit by the gravel caught in the wind, bright red blood flowed from his forehead. The blood mixed with dust flowed into his eye sockets, making Mengyue's vision blurred.

Helplessly, Meng Yue could only continue crawling forward relying on the memories in her mind.

Perhaps only a few minutes had passed, but in Mengyue's senses, these few minutes seemed so long.

Three more meters...

Two meters...

one……

Finally, with Mengyue's efforts, a vague but familiar outline appeared in the field of vision.

and a little more...
