This is not the date I wanted.

Origami and Niya looked at each other and sighed at the same time. Although they were still confused, since Shidou had chosen to reconcile with him, they didn't say much.

"What about you? Why did you follow him out of DEM?"

Erya turned his gaze to the secretary beside Woodman.

By the way, her name is Karen Nora Mathers, and she is the older sister of the magician Allen Mathers who has been causing trouble for Shidao and others. If you take off your glasses, you will find that the two of them are almost cut from the same mold. After knowing this, Miku excitedly shouted something like "Sisters Donburi" that made no sense.

"I'm in love with Elliot."

The other party confessed a more explosive fact in a certain sense. In addition, Elliot seems to be Woodman's nickname.

"...Um, didn't Woodman already have a meeting with the original elf..."

"There's no point in giving up just because the other person has someone in his heart. If there's no one around when he changes his mind, won't that mean he's left with no choice?"

"This, this is it..."

Kallen's overly firm and frank tone left Shidou speechless for a moment.

"And speaking of greed, even if I don't have his heart, I would also like to have sex with him and have his child. Although I will respect Elliot's wishes to the greatest extent, it would be a world-class loss if his bloodline is not continued."

“Puff—cough cough!”

Shidou was immediately choked by Kallen's words.

“Haha… this is really a headache.”

Woodman seemed to be accustomed to Karin's overly straightforward and explicit remarks. He just sighed with a bit of annoyance.

"Elliot, there's no need for you to worry. I'll find the right time to act."

After listening carefully to Kallen's speech, Origami walked forward and extended her right hand toward her.

"I can fully understand your thoughts. I appreciate and applaud your noble determination."

There was a hint of surprise in Kallen's eyes. She looked at Origami and seemed to understand something from her gaze. She couldn't help but smile.

"No, I should thank you. You are the third person who agrees with me. Let's work together."

"Of course!"

Seeing Kallen holding Origami's hand, everyone present had the same thought without exception.

A troublesome combination was born.

11 Shidao, the lost little lamb~

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

"Speaking of which, are you missing someone?"

Suddenly, Woodman seemed to think of something, glanced at Shidao and the others, and asked curiously.

"H... Excuse me, isn't the lady named Liangyi Mengyue here?"

"——!?"

Hearing someone mention Mengyue's name in an unexpected place, Shidou subconsciously held his breath.

“Um, that—”

"Sister Mengyue said she had other things to do, so she's splitting up from us now."

Kotori tried to smooth things over.

"I see. I was hoping to meet that lady, what a pity."

Woodman sighed with a bit of regret and said with a wry smile.

"Excuse me...Mr. Woodman, do you know Meng Yue?"

Trying to keep his tone calm, Shidou asked Woodman.

In his memory, Mengyue had indeed met Woodman, but that was in the previous world line. According to what Shidao knew, Mengyue in this world should not have met Woodman.

However, judging from the other party's tone, in his impression, Mengyue seemed to be more than just "a spirit sealed by Shidao".

"I have never met Ms. Liang Yi in person, but in a sense, I received a lot of care from her a while ago."

Woodman shook his head, his tone full of helplessness. Beside him, Karen, who had been expressionless, now exuded an inexplicable unhappy emotion. From this, it can be seen that it was probably not a pleasant memory for them.

Everyone couldn't help but feel surprised.

"I'm so sorry! It was negligence on my part! I take full responsibility!"

"It's okay, it's okay! Commander Gokawa, honestly, I can't thank her enough."

Woodman waved his hands and explained to everyone with a smile that he had not had any conflicts with Meng Yue, but on the contrary, she had done him a great favor.

"..."

After realizing it was just a misunderstanding, Gokawa Shido breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a mixed feeling in his heart.

Not only in the places he knew, but also in many places he had never paid attention to, or even noticed, Meng Yue had been making great efforts to protect himself and his family. It was with Meng Yue's support that he could reach where he is today.

He naively thought he understood her well enough; he complacently thought he had grown enough to catch up with her; he was conceited and believed he could be independent and protect her. However, in fact, all of these were his own self-righteousness.

Looking back, the quarrel with Mengyue was undoubtedly a sign of my immaturity.

If Shidao had not been unreasonably angry at the time, but had been able to come up with more sufficient and correct reasons to persuade Mengyue, even if Mengyue would not help him, things would not have turned out like this.

Thinking of this, Shidao couldn't help but feel ashamed of his own immaturity.

"...Young man, please continue to work hard on the next elf strategy."

"...Okay, I will."

Feeling Woodman's gentle but expectant gaze, Shidao pursed his lips, and after a moment, he slowly nodded.

"Um……"

As if noticing something, Niya looked at Shidou thoughtfully.

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

After finishing the conversation, Woodman left the airship under the escort of everyone. According to his own words, "A disabled old man like me would just be a burden if he went with them", so he said goodbye and left in a wheelchair, pushed by Kallen.

"what--!"

Just as everyone was preparing to return to the airship to wait, Erya suddenly clapped his hands and made an exaggerated shout.

"What's wrong, Niya?"

"I'm sorry everyone, I think I left something over there by the helicopter. Shidou, I don't quite know the way around here, can you take me there to get it?"

Shidou seemed troubled when he heard what Nia said.

"Um... I'm not very familiar with the roads here. It would be better if we let the staff take you there?"

Tsk, this is really hard to deal with. Niya secretly smacked his lips. In desperation, he could only wink in the direction of Kotori.

Noticing Niya's gaze, Kotori understood and sighed.

"I'm sorry, I'm not very familiar with the staff at the headquarters, and they are all busy adjusting the airship. For safety reasons, Shidou, you should go with Nia."

"Oh... okay then."

"OK! My sister has agreed, so I will borrow the boy! GO! GO!"

"Wait, don't run so fast, Erya!"

Without saying a word, Niya put her arm around Shidou's arm and walked out.

"Eiya, the helicopter airport doesn't seem to be here, right?"

Noticing that Nia was walking towards a corner where fewer and fewer people were around, Shidou asked a little uneasily.

"Okay, stop asking so many questions and go."

Niya pulled Shidou and urged him. To be honest, if the opponent was not Niya but Origami, Shidou would have to be on guard against a sneak attack and lose his virginity.

"Well, we don't have to worry about being heard here."

After walking into a remote safe passage, Niya nodded with satisfaction, and after saying something that made Shidou feel a little threatened, she turned around, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and put on a sacred expression.

"My lost little lamb, I am the most sincere believer of the Lord. Tell me your confession as much as you can, and your soul will be saved - Amen~"

After saying that, Erya closed her eyes, feeling good about herself. Perhaps in her world, at this moment, holy light was surrounding her, and pure white angel wings were slowly falling around her.

"What are you doing... Niya?"

It was completely unclear what Niya was up to at this moment, and a row of black lines appeared on Shidao's forehead.

"Well - you see, my spiritual attire is very similar to a nun's uniform, right? So I keep looking for opportunities to speak in a nun's tone."

"Is that so?"

"That's what happened~"

Playfully opening her right eye, Nia looked at Shidou with a smirk on her face and resumed her usual nonchalant tone.

"But I didn't call you here just to make fun of you. Young man, did you have a fight with Bili-chan?"

Hearing Niya's words, Shidou's heart skipped a beat. He wanted to find an excuse to fool her, but after feeling Niya's serious gaze, which was different from usual, he fell silent for a moment.

“…This is such a headache. Am I that easy to understand? I thought I covered it up well.”

"Well, the boy himself actually covered it up pretty well. But it's not enough to fool a big sister like me who has been in society for many years."

"……big sister?"

"Hey! Why are you using a question mark here?"

"No, no! It's your illusion."

Shidou denied it and looked away calmly.

"Hmph... never mind."

Giving Shidou a suspicious look, Niya shrugged without making a fuss.

"Well, I know what you're thinking. You're probably keeping it to yourself because you don't want to make them feel uneasy or burden your sister, right?"

"Well--"

Seeing that Shidou looked as if his secrets had been revealed by her, Niya couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

"Well, since my spirit crystal has been taken away, I don't have to worry about the danger of a spirit power reversal. Isn't it just right to be a person to discuss life with? Besides, the protagonist is confused before taking action - but this is a conventional flag of defeat."

"I know, I told you..."

Under Niya's persuasion, Shidao honestly told the whole story of his quarrel with Mengyue.

"Hahaha - I see. To put it simply, the boy and Bili-chan disagreed on whether to save Rokuko. The boy felt that Rokuko's heart knot must be untied and her spiritual power must be sealed, while Bili-chan thought that it was okay to leave Rokuko's problem alone. On the contrary, keeping Rokuko in her prime would allow her to better protect herself, and use her power to deal with the enemy, right?"

"Yeah... that's it."

Shidou nodded with a wry smile, and after a moment of silence, he asked with a confused look on his face,

"Hey, Niya...I was wrong, so Meng Yue's opinion is correct?"

"Well... who knows? At least in my opinion, both Bili-chan and the boy are right."

After thinking for a moment, Erya replied,

"Indeed, judging from the current situation, Bilijiang's proposal is undoubtedly the most advantageous method for us. But that doesn't mean that the boy's idea is wrong. At the very least, if Bilijiang's idea is followed, the elves, including me, will not be able to be saved."

In Honjo Nia's opinion, Ryougi Yumezuki and Gokawa Shido are two completely different people.

Meng Yue will never give up no matter what troubles she encounters, but she will not be competitive. She will calmly analyze everything and then find the best solution. Therefore, even if she is alone, she can deftly deal with various dangers.

Shidao is a typical good guy who cannot ignore the misfortunes of others. He struggles to do good no matter what kind of predicament he is in, and thus constantly involves the people around him. He may seem reckless and impulsive in the eyes of others, but because of this, he can change many things that were originally unchangeable.

Neither one is wrong, both one is correct.

Just like Mengyue had told her before, if problems could be solved simply by reasoning, the world would have been peaceful long ago.

"Ah, but in the end it was definitely the boy's fault."

Erya accused in a dissatisfied tone,

"It's true that Bilijiang's words were harsh, but yelling at someone who cares about you and gives you serious advice, 'You know nothing!' is very excessive. If it were me, I would be angry too."

"Knew it."

As if he realized that he was wrong, Shidao lowered his head in frustration.
