This is not the date I wanted.

"Hmph... you guys still have a conscience." Although Meng Yue looked unhappy, there was still a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Dream Moon..."

Shidou looked at Mengyue, but Mengyue turned her head and avoided his sight.

"Shidou-kun... I should be grateful for your help. But please don't look at me like that." Meng Yue's voice was a little trembling, "Do you want to kill me?"

Eh? He tilted his head in confusion. He probably didn't notice that his clothes had become very messy, exposing a large area of ​​skin, but it was not to the point of revealing his male identity. The wig was soaked with sweat and stuck to his skin. His face was flushed due to the intense exercise, and he occasionally gasped. It was simply the ultimate expression of messy beauty.

Why is such a cute boy? Did Lucifer send you to force me to sacrifice my soul?

Mengyue said that if he were still a man, he would definitely kneel on the ground and not be able to get up for a while.

After noticing Mengyue's expression, Yui and Yakuya quietly pushed their knees against Mengyue's waist and said teasingly.

"Notice. Meng Yue's face turned red!"

"Shut up! Who, who's blushing?"

"Don't be shy, my fellow countryman. Shidou is so beautiful that I want to take him home."

"They all said no more!"

"Snoo~" Tohka, who was in a coma, said she wanted to show her presence.

"Hey……"

Just when Shidao was trying to stop the elves from showing off their daily lives with a wry smile, a panicked voice suddenly came from the smoke.

"Ahem... This is the first time I've been injured to this extent... Itsuki Shido."

Then, a white figure flew out from the smoke, and after Alan steadied himself, he sat still in the air.

"Hey, hey, hey! You're still alive even after all that. What kind of monster is your body made of?"

Mengyue said as she looked at Alan with a twitching expression, and Shidou agreed with this.

However, at this time, Alan's condition was definitely not good. The abdomen that was originally pierced by Mengyue had begun to bleed continuously. A long crack was cut in the sturdy mecha from the front. Flames burst out from the crack, splashing out of the wound, revealing blood. Mengyue felt pain just by looking at it.

"Throat~ You didn't die even after this. Are you the beast from the Apocalypse?"

"Fight. Yui and Yakuya will be your opponents."

"Berserk?" Alan stared at the two people in front of him who were scattered by the strong wind, and muttered softly.

To be honest, my body has reached an unprecedented low point at this moment. Facing these two elves in this state, I will definitely be at a disadvantage.

Before Yamashiro's attack arrived, Alan's body disappeared after a flash of light.

"Although I am a little reluctant, this will affect Ike's plan, so I admit defeat this time. I won't let it go like this next time, Hacker... and Gokawa Shido."

Before disappearing, Alan looked at Mengyue and Shidao and announced in a voice full of reluctance.

"Damn it, he escaped through the dimensional gate."

"Search. Where did you go?"

"Don't bother looking for him. He's already gone."

Meng Yue knew that Allen had already moved back through the space transfer device of the DEM Society. After calling Yamai and the other person back with a wry smile, he said to Shidao: "Don't force yourself. I know you have reached your limit. Take a rest."

"Haha, have I been discovered?" He laughed with a pale face, and his consciousness gradually fell into darkness. The "Aoshagong" in his hand turned into particles of light and dissipated in the air. Shidao, who had lost his support, finally fell down.

Using the power of spirits in a human body, coupled with the fear of using weapons against humans for the first time, Shidao reached the lowest point both physically and mentally, and after confirming that Alan had left, he finally couldn't hold on and fell into a coma.

"Thanks for your hard work……"

He felt like he was being hugged by a soft body, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, but Shidou heard Meng Yue's gentle voice.

The next moment, Gokawa Shido fell into a deep sleep.

————————————————————————————————————————————————I am the dividing line where the battle ends——————————————————

"This is really a bad situation, Alan."

At the headquarters of DEM, Vesket looked at Alan who was receiving treatment in the medical cabin and smiled helplessly.

"Sorry for my gaffe."

Alan's still calm voice rang out from the treatment chamber, but despite this, Westcott could still hear a hint of unwillingness in Alan's heart.

"No, this is my mistake. There's no need for you to blame yourself. Just focus on healing now, otherwise our plan will be delayed."

But in fact, since the invention of the display device, human medical technology has also made rapid progress. Although Alan's injuries are very serious, as long as he undergoes his treatment, he will be able to fully recover in a few days.

Westcott said this to remind Alan not to forget their original purpose because of his pride as the strongest magician.

"……learn."

After a moment of silence, Allen gave a calm answer. Upon hearing this, Westcott nodded in relief.

After leaving the medical department of DEM, Westcott returned to his room, sat on the soft sofa prepared by the hotel, and slowly took out a document from the table.

"The boy who can use the power of spirits, Gokawa Shido, and the most dangerous spirit of mankind, Hacker, who can defeat my strongest magician. How interesting!"

Looking at the information in his hand, probably because Alan had not considered photos other than elves, so except for a few photos taken from video recordings of each elf, there were no photos of a boy named Gokawa Shido.

"Well... maybe we'll meet in person after a while anyway."

Westcott lay on the sofa without any image at all, with a meaningful smile on his face.

08 The Oath Under the Night Sky

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

The day the boy regained consciousness, his father was the only one in his world.

Where is your mother?

For children who grew up in this kind of family, this kind of question is very normal. In response, the father always gave a very classic answer with a vicissitudes of life and a kind expression: "Your mother went to a very far place. Because it is too far, she can't come back."

I don’t know why? Every time when answering this question, there is always a trace of incomparable sadness in the corners of my father’s eyes.

A few years later, his father died of depression. After the grief, the boy read the shocking truth in his father's diary.

My father and mother were childhood sweethearts. As time went by, they matured and soon realized each other's existence and fell in love.

But during this period, an accident happened.

One of my mother's close friends also secretly fell in love with my father.

But perhaps out of consideration for his mother, this close friend initially kept the love affair secret in his heart.

Next, the three of them coincidentally went to similar universities and jobs, and saw each other almost every day.

One day, my father and mother revealed the news of their marriage at a party.

And perhaps because he was drunk, the best friend accidentally confessed to his father after hearing the news.

The next day, the best friend sobered up and recalled his behavior that night and apologized to his parents.

But even so, the three of them could never return to their previous relationship.

The father was very distressed about this, and after thinking for a long time, he came up with an idea.

As long as he, his best friend and his mother were together, it would be fine.

My father was a fan of anime and he admired the male protagonists who could make everyone happy in the harem. He even hoped that he could be like them and make all the girls he liked happy.

However, when the father told his best friend about this idea, he was slapped in the face angrily.

Don't be so self-righteous. Do you think I've lost everything without you?

Perhaps it was because he was blindly overconfident, the father believed that his efforts would eventually move the other party, and he launched a persistent offensive.

As time went by, my father gradually forgot his original purpose and just blindly pursued his best friend, while unconsciously ignoring my mother.

On the day of delivery, the mother died of complications after giving birth, and in the end, the father did not even notice the message on the phone.

The best friend felt guilty about his mother's death and committed suicide by taking sleeping pills.

After losing his two beloved women in an instant, the father suddenly became sober and realized how stupid and childish his behavior was.

As if to deny his own foolish dream, he named his child Guan Meng.

And Guan Meng, just like his father's request, hates harem anime the most.

——————————————————————————I am the dividing line where the dream ends————————————————————————————————————————————

"Dream……?"

Gokawa Shidao opened his sleepy eyes and muttered in confusion.

"Hey! Shidou-kun, you're awake."

A familiar voice sounded from above, and the sight gradually became clear. A beautiful face was staring at him intently.

"Dream Moon..."

"Yeah... it's me." Meng Yue nodded gently, a smile appeared on her face, and she patted his forehead and said, "You're awake, so get up quickly. After a few hours, even if I'm an elf, my legs are almost numb."

"Eh?" After Mengyue said this, Shidao suddenly realized that the pillow under his head seemed to be a little too comfortable. It was soft yet elastic, just like jelly.

And from the current point of view, Shidou immediately realized that he was now resting his head on Mengyue's thighs.

"Ah! I'm so sorry--!" After a hurried scream, Shidao quickly got up from Mengyue's thighs and sat in front of Mengyue, kowtowed and apologized.

Meng Yue looked at the young man in front of her who was panicking because of such a small matter in silence, and finally she couldn't help but laughed out loud while holding her stomach.

“Hahaha—I thought that a guy who could capture five elves must be a great playboy, but I didn’t expect you to be such a useless virgin! No—this is too funny, hahaha!”

"What's so funny!!!!!!!!!!" Shidao's face turned red with anger at Mengyue's laughter, but he still said with a wry smile.

"Okay, okay! I won't laugh." After holding it in for a while, Meng Yue seemed to calm down and stopped laughing.

"here it is……"

Shidao looked around and found that this was not the battlefield where he fell and fought with Allen, nor was it inside Fraxinus's airship. At this time, in the middle of the night, he and Mengyue were sitting on the lawn of a park.

"In a very ordinary park in Tiangong City." Meng Yue shrugged and replied, "After you fell into a coma, your body actually began to heal automatically after a burst of flames. But for safety reasons, we returned to Fraxinus for a checkup. So did Tohka and Yamai. Then after a while, the deputy commander with dark circles under his eyes actually told me, 'Shen was injured for you, so you can take care of him while he was unconscious.' What on earth was he thinking?"

"Ha... Miss Lingyin is really like that." After a dry laugh, Shidao seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Mengyue, how are your injuries? I remember that you seemed to be seriously injured at that time."

"Don't worry about that. It seems like he recovered super fast because of someone's malice! (Author: "Ahem!")" Meng Yue glanced at Shidao and said with a bit of pity, "Well... Shiori-chan is much cuter after all."

The women's clothes that Shidou was originally wearing were already dirty, so after checking, Kotori asked her men to change him back into men's clothes.

Hearing Meng Yue's words, a trace of cold sweat appeared on Shidao's head, and he laughed dryly: "You like that very much."

"Of course! Shiori-chan looks exactly like what I had in mind. Beautiful, gentle, considerate, heroic yet with a hint of weakness, she looks like the perfect virtuous wife. She's exactly my dream girl!" Meng Yue lowered her head in disappointment when she was halfway through praising him, "But, she is dressed like a man..."

In this regard, Gokawa Shidao, the actor who played Gokawa Shiori, could only laugh dryly with a deep sense of guilt.

"To be honest, I wanted to kidnap Shiori-chan and take her to a foreign hospital to change her memory and gender, and then live in seclusion..."

From her tone, Shidao knew that Mengyue was not joking. She had indeed had this thought when they were on the date.

Shidao suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and his hair stood up almost instantly. Cold sweat covered his shirt.

"Don't worry, I've given up now." Seeing Shidao's pale cheeks, Meng Yue also laughed dryly and comforted him, "After all, it would be very unfair to Xixian and Yakuya if I took you away."

"Y-really?"

"..."

"..."

The topic came to a standstill and for a moment, both of them were speechless.

After a moment of silence, Meng Yue suddenly raised her head, looked at the dark sky, and said lightly:

"Shidou, I'm actually jealous of you."

"what?"

Hearing Shidao's puzzled voice, Meng Yue sighed helplessly: "You have a school to go to and a home to return to. You have friends to accompany you, relatives to help you, and a lover to follow you. You have everything I don't have, so it's normal to be jealous."

"then you……"

Shidou was about to say something, but Mengyue stopped him with a look.

"Also, you're just a damn harem scum. But you accomplished everything I couldn't do."

"Eh? What do you mean?"

Shidou asked somewhat confused.
