This is not the date I wanted.

Shidou had seen Tohka in this state before.

Reversal, the phenomenon in which the attributes of the elves change due to despair, and the spiritual power value changes and turns into other powers.

At this moment, Tohka was in the same state as when she was in despair after mistakenly thinking that Shidou was killed.

Why did Tohka turn around? For a moment, this question filled Shidao's mind.

"Oh...are you the man back then? Humph, I didn't expect that after chasing that woman here, you would have a lot of time left."

Glancing at Shidou indifferently, Tohka curled up a sneer at the corner of her mouth and raised the Demon King Nahema (Tyrannical Lord) in her hand.

"That's great. Let's turn into powder together."

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung the pitch-black giant sword violently, and the spiritual power overflowing from the blade turned into a black crescent moon that could cut through gold and iron, and attacked Shidao.

"Michael (Master of Seal) - [Open]."

However, the first slash was narrowly avoided after Meng Yue warned him. For the second slash, Rokuko was clearly ready to counter it, and the "Sealing Master" inserted into the space and turned left, and the opened "door" swallowed Tohka's slash into it.

"--【open】."

The angel of the scepter turned again, and the exit of the [Gate] opened in front of Tohka, returning the slash to Tohka intact.

"Little tricks."

Shixiang showed a trace of disdain on her face. The "Tyrannical Lord" raised his hand, and the dark crescent moon was shaken into dust.

At the same time, the clouds above Tohka also split into two, and the smooth fault was like a cut cake, forming a spectacular and wonderful scene.

"Elf? You blocked my attack. It looks like you are ready, right?"

Her eyes stayed on Rokuko and Tohka asked coldly.

"This is Liu'er's line. What are you doing here? Your memories have been sealed by the 'Master of Sealing'. If you still want to disturb Liu'er and the official, Liu Ku will no longer forgive you."

Not fearing Tohka's menacing gaze, Rokuko threatened in a deep voice.

"...Just what I want. I'll make you regret not dying from that blow just now."

As if she regarded Rokuko's words as a provocation, Tohka's eyes flashed with a fierce light. She jumped from the street lamp to the ground, holding the "Tyranny" and walked slowly towards Rokuko.

"Michael (Feng Jiezhu) - [Gun]."

As if realizing that Tohka was an opponent who could not be taken lightly, Rokuko became serious for a rare time. He took a few steps forward to create some distance between himself and Shidou, then bent down and got into position, with the scepter in his hand transformed into the shape of a gun.

[Shidou, stop them! It's okay to use spiritual power when necessary! ]

"I know!"

Since Rokuko and Tohka are not Pokémon that descended from the neighboring world, the space earthquake alarm has not sounded and the residents in the city have not yet completed their evacuation. If a Pokémon in a complete state and a reversed Pokémon were allowed to fight at this time, Tengu City would surely be devastated.

"Wait a minute! Itsuka-san?!"

As Origami looked on in surprise, Shidou, despite the pressure from Rokuko and Tohka, boldly walked between the two.

"Sir?!"

Rokuko widened his eyes in surprise.

Seeing Gokawa Shidao's reckless behavior, Tohka frowned unhappily and asked.

"You came to me unarmed like last time... What on earth are you thinking? Are you trying to commit suicide?"

"Well...if possible, I still want to live..."

Shidou sweated coldly as he looked at Tohka who seemed to be angry for some reason. Although the tense atmosphere between the two of them had eased, in a sense, it was Shidou's turn to be in danger.

"Meng, Mengyue...what should I do next?"

Shidou asked anxiously. When he rushed over, he was thinking about stopping the fight, but he didn't think about what happened afterwards.

【You want to ask me...】

Meng Yue's voice was unusually troubled. After all, according to her original personality, she would not even have time to avoid such trouble. Moreover, Rokuko and Tohka after the reversal were obviously the unreasonable type.

[Anyway, repeat what I said first. Stop it, don't hit me anymore.]

"Stop it, all of you. Stop fighting."

Without caring about anything, Shidao just repeated Mengyue's words.

[I don't want to see any of you get hurt.]

"I don't want to see any of you get hurt."

【because--】

"because--"

【You are all my wings! 】

"You are all my wings!"

"..."

"..."

It was as if time had stopped and the scene fell into a subtle silence.

"Meng Yue...what did you just say...what did you mean?"

Looking at Tohka and Rokuko in fear, Shidou asked nervously.

[Sorry... because your current position is so classic. I accidentally said "wings" instead of "family". ]

Meng Yue's awkward reply came from the headset.

(Damn you, Mengyue, please don't let me down at this critical moment!)

"...wings? What do you mean, sir?"

Rokuko tilted his head and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Ah - no, nothing. What I mean is that if there is any conflict, we can discuss and solve it together. There is no need to be so murderous and violent. I don't want to see anyone get hurt."

Shidou hurriedly added his explanation.

"I see. You are truly worthy of being called a sir."

Rokuko nodded in realization.

"Hmph - boring."

However, unlike Rokuko who has a great affection for Shidou, Tohka is obviously not so easy to talk to after the reversal.

"I don't understand what you're up to, but if I kill you all, there's no need to worry."

"You foolish man, you have wasted my kindness. Let Liu'er teach you a lesson."

Seeing that Tohka refused to give in, Rokuko naturally had no reason to disarm.

Seeing the tension between the two of them rising again, at this moment——

“——Please wait a moment.”

Origami, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly spoke up.

"What's the matter?"

"Are you going to get in the way too?"

"Alas……!"

Origami couldn't help but let out a whine after being glared at by the two. She obviously didn't have the courage she had in her "Master" state now. Facing Rokuko and the reversed Tohka, she was trembling like a herbivore being stared at by a tiger and a lion.

But soon, she gathered her courage, raised her head, looked into their eyes, and spoke quietly and calmly.

"…Um, please calm down and listen to me, Rokuko-chan."

"…Huh?"

Rokuko raised his eyebrows in surprise, waiting for Origami's next words in confusion.

"Rokuko-chan, you like Itsuka-san, right? So you can't forgive Tohka-san for trying to steal Shidou away from you."

"That's it in a nutshell. And you are also part of it."

"But, Itsuka-san hates fighting. So...if you want to win Shido's love...there are other ways."

"?"

Rokuko looked at Origami with curiosity. But on the other side, Tohka, who had been waiting for a long time, had obviously lost her patience and took a step forward with the "Tyranny King".

"Tohka-san, please calm down! What is Tohka-san's purpose...?"

"Tohka - are you talking about me?..."

At first, she looked at Origami in surprise. Then, Tohka quickly lost interest and pointed at Shidou, saying murderously,

"The purpose is irrelevant. This man actually dared to let me endure such humiliation. I will not be able to swallow this breath unless I cut him into pieces. I can ignore you and the Key Spirit, but if you want to hinder me, you must be killed!"

"Because Gokawa-san was humiliated. Um... although I only heard that you were beaten by Gokawa-san at the DEM base - ahem, due to force majeure, it left you with unpleasant memories."

Seeing Tohka's "tyrannical prince" pointed at herself, Origami coughed twice and swallowed the word "defeat" she was about to say.

“…Hmph, I can’t remember the exact details, but that’s pretty much it.”

Tohka snorted in dissatisfaction, but did not attack Origami. Seeing that she had made it to the top without any danger, Origami could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Did Gokawa-san swing his sword at you then? Did you succumb to his power?"

"What a joke! How could this happen?"

Tohka's eyes widened in anger. Origami nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I think so too. If it was simply a contest of strength, then Tohka-san would definitely win, but the result is not like that. So now that you have defeated Gokawa-san, does that really mean you have won? It would be better to say that if you kill him, you will never have another chance to redeem yourself."

"..."

Origami's words made Tohka fall into deep thought.

"Indeed, there is no point in killing this man who can run to my sword and die without hesitation. So, how can I avenge myself on this man?"

"Use your heart! It's not about using force, but making him surrender wholeheartedly. That's the real victory."

After hearing what Origami said, Rokuko and Tohka asked curiously.

"So, how can I defeat this arrogant woman and win the love of the official?"

"Answer me. How do I make this man surrender?"

"Yes. There is a way to achieve your goal."

Seeing that the two had finally turned their attention to her, Origami took a deep breath and said firmly,

"Whoever takes Shidou's lips will be the winner?"

"Eh?"

After hearing Origami's words, Shidou was stunned.

……

"call……"

Looking at Shidou and others in front of him, Mengyue couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Although this proposal was extremely strange, after Origami's exaggerated persuasion, Rokuko and Tohka finally compromised and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​a violent confrontation.

"Thank you, Origami. I'm glad you were able to convince those two people."

[Well, it’s also thanks to Mengyue that you sent me a text message to explain the situation, so I was able to come up with this idea. ]

On the other end of the phone, Origami replied with a wry smile.

Just now, while maintaining communication with Shidou, Mengyue was also sending text messages to Origami's mobile phone, telling Origami the information she had received.

Although she could go into battle herself, Meng Yue felt that if she appeared in front of Rokuko at this critical moment, it would only add fuel to the fire and make the situation worse.

"Anyway, the situation has stabilized first... that's strange."

Looking at Tohka and Rokuko who were trying to force a kiss on Shidou through physical means again, Mengyue lowered her shoulders speechlessly.

(One crisis after another... What should I do next?)

Mengyue thought very distressedly.
