This is not the date I wanted.

Shrugging his shoulders, Meng Yue looked at Shi Dao and said seriously,

"Shidou, although I don't intend to support your idea of ​​saving Rokuko. But since you have made the decision, don't regret it. And - promise me that your own safety will be the priority."

"Well...I see."

Shidou nodded solemnly.

At this moment, the warning lights on the bridge suddenly lit up and the alarm sounded in the command room.

"Report! We have detected that there are DEM ships approaching not far from Rokuko. There are three in total... No! Four!"

As the report came in, several huge ships appeared on the display.

Among them, there is also a platinum-colored battleship that the members of Fraxinus are very familiar with.

"…Goetia."

Whispering the name of the battleship softly, Kotori frowned slightly, her eyes filled with displeasure.

It was the world's top-level high-speed mobile ship that belonged to Alan Mathers. It was also the only machine that had given Fraxinus a hard time in the previous world.

As if they noticed Kotori's presence, Goetia and other DEM airships did not continue to approach Rokuko, but turned towards Kotori, gradually approaching at a moderate speed.

"…Looks like I've been challenged."

After realizing the other party's intention, Kotori licked the sweat flowing from her forehead and a fighting smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Well, the first day the new battleship sets sail is the day of revenge. In a sense, it is really what I wish for."

"Kotori. Is everything okay?"

"Sigh... As expected, it's a bit difficult to deal with the pressure from both DEM and the elves at the same time. Shidou, although I'm ashamed, please be prepared for us not to be able to help you in time when facing Rokuko later."

"I see."

Shidou nodded.

[It doesn't matter. This airship is very different from the past! I will protect everyone on the ship, including Shidou.]

I don't know if it was to ease the atmosphere or if she was really confident, but Orumi Maria, the artificial intelligence, said confidently on the big screen.

"You're so reliable. I'll leave it to you."

After saying that, Shidou walked onto the teleportation platform in the command room. With a flash of light, Shidou was teleported to the universe outside the ship.

"Hey...Kotori. To be honest, I'm really curious. Is it okay for Shidou to teleport directly into space without riding a spaceship or wearing a space suit?"

Looking at Shidou floating in the universe on the screen, Mengyue couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, Sister Mengyue. I have already separated the leaves of the World Tree to cover him with a random area."

"So? What about temperature? What about the pressure difference between inside and outside? What about cosmic rays? What about the oxygen that people need to breathe?"

"They said we have already covered the random area, so there is no need to worry about these things."

After hearing Kotori's affirmative tone of "Real man, cute big tits!" and once again realizing the omnipotence of the Random Field technology, Meng Yue was silent for a long time and silently complained in her heart.

(Why don’t you go conquer the sea of ​​stars?)

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

"Rokuko."

Hearing someone calling his name, Hoshimiya Rokuko opened his eyes subconsciously.

She saw, less than a hundred meters ahead, the blue-haired boy whom she had expelled not long ago.

"You again? Hypocrite, what are you here for? It doesn't seem to be a three-dimensional image."

"Nothing, I just fulfilled what I said before and came to see you."

"As for your stubbornness, Liu'er has nothing to say."

"Yeah. I'm often criticized for not giving up and not being considerate."

In response to Shidou's self-deprecating answer, Rokuko let out a sigh.

However, even so, she did not feel disgusted with "Gokawa Shidao" as a person, and of course, she did not have any so-called good feelings towards him.

If they invade her territory, she will expel them; if not, she will simply ignore them.

Like a machine, what drives Xinggong Rokuko to act is only the self-defense instinct remaining in his body and the pure rationality without any emotional color.

Maybe just like Gokawa Shido said, the previous Rokuko once sealed her feelings and memories due to some misfortune, but for her now, these are all insignificant trivial matters.

Because now, whether it is happiness or misfortune, pain or joy, they are all far away from Rokuko.

however--

"Expand——Haniel (Fake Witch)!"

As Gokawa Shido called out, a broom appeared out of thin air. Based on the spiritual power fluctuations emanating from it, Rokuko determined that it was an angel held by a spirit.

"Angel? But you don't seem to be an elf. I see. Although I don't know the principle, since this was taken from an elf, it's understandable that you covet Liu'er's power."

"Don't make me sound like a bad person. This is the power I borrowed from my friends so that I can hear your voice."

"?"

With a playful smile on his face, Shidou tightened his grip on "Fake Witch" and shouted.

"Kaleidoscope——Michael (The Lord of Seal)!"

"—?!"

For the first time, a hint of surprise appeared on Hoshimiya Rokuko's face.

The reason was that the long broom turned into a key-like scepter and fell into Shido Gokawa's hands.

And that scepter, both in appearance and spiritual power fluctuations, is exactly the same as the angel "Seal Master" owned by Xingmiya Rokuko.

In other words, it is very likely that it has the same power as the "Lord of Sealing".

"I see. Why do you dare to show up in front of Liu'er? Liu'er knows what's going on now."

Due to the lack of emotional influence, Rokuko quickly calmed down from the impact of the accident.

But precisely because of this, the remaining rationality and instinct in her heart have made the most reasonable judgment.

"Michael (Master of Seal)."

Rokuko summoned his own angel.

This man is an almost poisonous threat to "Hoshimiya Rokuko".

He cannot be allowed to escape. In order to maintain his own peace, "Hoshimiya Rokuko" must be here to capture Gokawa Shido——

Completely obliterate.

PS: This volume ends.

postscript

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

Shidao: Itsuka Shidao.

Mengyue: The Yin-Yang Mengyue.

Shidou & Mengyue: Welcome to "A Letter Visit from Fraxinus——EX!!".

Shidou: Wow, I didn't expect that this show would have a third season. Even the title has been upgraded with "——EX!!" The popularity of "This Is Not the Date I Want" is growing.

Meng Yue: Will it? I feel like I am still lost in the path of life. Speaking of which, the "——EX!!" was added deliberately because the author really liked this suffix.

Shidou: That's not the case. No matter what it is, as long as you add the suffix "EX" at the end, it will become very powerful and cool.

Meng Yue: Shidao, Chuunibyou~

Shidao: Ahem - sorry, I seem to have been possessed by something bad just now. Let's get back to the topic and take a look at your letters.

Meng Yue: Although the next volume is already one-third done~

Shidou: Then, let's look at the first keyword.

--------------quarrel------------

Shidou: ...

Meng Yue: ...

Shidou: Ah... Although I guessed this would happen from the beginning, when I actually saw it, I still felt like I was shot in the knee.

Meng Yue: That's right. Although many readers had already started to speculate about the plot of this volume before Rokuko Cosmos began, no one expected that Shidou and I would quarrel directly. According to the author, when writing this volume, some readers told him that Shidou was so badly written that it was impossible for that kind-hearted man to lose his temper.

Shidou: Eh... Do I give people this impression? Even I get angry sometimes.

Mengyue: Haha, that’s right. Our Shidao almost lost his spiritual power due to too much pressure and almost destroyed the entire Tengu City. Compared to that time, this is actually quite cute.

Shidou: Ah——Why is it that even though you are clearly defending me, I feel like my wounds are being opened open, Mengyue.

Mengyue: But they are all facts, aren’t they?

Shidou: ...I am speechless.

Meng Yue: Well, let's put that aside. In fact, our disagreement this time is normal. After all, Shidao and I have different views on saving the elves.

Shidou: That's true. I lent a helping hand because I didn't want to turn a blind eye to the plight of the elves. Mengyue usually comes forward because she doesn't want me and everyone else to be in danger in the process.

Mengyue: After all, I was also rescued because of this. If you are an elf who really needs help, I will not say anything to stop you. But Rokuko has clearly said that there is no need to seal it. If you go closer, it would be completely meddling.

Shidou: That’s because—

Meng Yue: No need to explain, I know what you want to say. I also thought that I probably couldn't stop you. Besides, this is not what really makes me angry.

Shidao: Eh? Then why did I get angry at Mengyue?

Meng Yue: I won’t tell you~ You should learn to think about this kind of thing yourself. Also, this involves the plot of the next volume, so I can’t spoil it here.

Shidou: ...Okay.

Mengyue: Then, the next keyword.

——————————————————Magic Fantasy Bookstore——————————

Meng Yue: Although the name of this volume is "Rokuko Cosmos", Rokuko himself doesn't have many scenes. The highlight of this volume is the fantasy library created by Westcott using the "Divine Eclipse Arc", and everyone's constant adventures in the fairy tale world and working together to escape from the predicament.

Shidou: I am from "The Three Little Pigs", Yumezuki is from "The Flying Box", Tohka is from "Momotaro", Origami is from "The Emperor's New Clothes", Yoshino is from "Little Red Riding Hood", Kotori is from "The Little Match Girl", Yuzuru and Yakuya are from "Hansel and Gretel", Miku is from "The Little Mermaid", Nanashi is from "Cinderella", and Nia is from her own manga "Sliver Bullet". Everyone has played a role in a different story.

Mengyue: I have always wanted to complain about why the character assigned by Erya is different from everyone else. The fighting power of hot-blooded comics and fairy tales is completely different! We almost died because of her.

Shidou: However, in the original story, the enemies that appeared in the Nia comics were actually at the same level of strength as other characters. They were just extras who were mentioned by name and died after a few pages. The aerial chase between us and the army of monsters here was completely the author's improvisation.

Meng Yue: Eh? Really? Is the author planning to kill us? Could it be that the enemy I really need to eliminate is not Westcott but the author?

Shidou: Erase... Mengyue, your idea is very dangerous.

Mengyue: Don't worry, I'm not interested in killing people. At most, I'll just take the author's computer. Upload a chapter "Wescott's head was accidentally hit by a flower pot that fell from the sky. After waking up, his temperament changed drastically and he became a good person who actively did good deeds. Shidao finally discovered his true self and made up his mind to abandon the thing that was in the way of his lower body and live a happy life with Liangyi Mengyue~Happy end! (The whole book is finished)"

Shidou: Stop! I sincerely ask you to take back that terrible thought, Meng Yuesama!

————————————————Then there is only one answer——————————

Father (breaking the witch in half): ——————Ahhh! (I offer my loyalty to you!)

Shidou: Damn! Where did this zombie come from! ?

Meng Yue: Eh? Didn’t I say that? As a bonus for the third episode, Mr. Zombie, who plays the father of my character in the Fantasy Book House, will appear as a special guest.

Shidao: Why did you choose zombies as special guests!? This is not (fu) welfare but (fu) corruption!

Mengyue: Ah... Shidao, your joke is too cold.

Shidou: I didn't mean to tell a bad joke... Never mind. Hello, Mr. Zombie who plays the father role of Meng Yue's character in the Fantasy Book House, do you have anything to say about this keyword?

FATHER: —————Ah ...

Shidou: No... I want to ask you about the keywords...

FATHER:—————Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Shidou: Um... Mr. Zombie... can you speak human language?

Father: ...Oh?

Shidou: ...The next keyword.
