This is not the date I wanted.

After asking a cold question, Tohka followed Mengyue and strode towards the store. On the way, she seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to warn Origami and Rokuko.

"Hey! You two, I'm leaving for a while. Don't try to do anything unnecessary while I'm gone."

"I got it."

Origami smiled wryly and nodded.

"Humph, you barbaric girl, Liu'er is different from you and would not do such a despicable thing."

Rokuko retorted with an unhappy look on his face.

"I hope so."

After answering calmly, Tohka turned and walked towards the shop where she bought takoyaki.

At the same time, Mengyue, who was following Tohka, quietly turned her head and gave Rokuko a "come on" look.

Rokuko's expression eased a little, and he felt a little grateful for Mengyue's actions.

After the cafe closed, Liang Yi Mengyue, who finished her part-time job early, seemed to have nothing to do, so she asked Origami to take her shopping with her.

To be honest, when Liu'er first heard about this, he was extremely depressed.

She was already annoyed enough by the fact that Tohka and Origami had taken Shidou's time away from her, and now there was another light bulb. Although this woman obviously had no memory of Shidou and was not a big threat, Rokuko still didn't want Shidou to have too much contact with other women.

However, as the date progressed, Rokuko found that he had to change his perspective.

Since she didn't know Shidou, Mengyue mainly talked to Origami and Tohka. In addition, knowing that Rokuko and Shidou were in a relationship, she not only didn't talk to Shidou too much, but also intentionally or unintentionally left the two of them some space to be alone.

"Rokuko, are you okay? You don't look well, do you want to rest for a while?"

Shidou asked.

"Well... a little bit. Everything is up to you, sir."

He nodded obediently and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, in order not to be looked down upon by others, Rokuko has been trying to show a calm attitude. But this disguise is not long-lasting, and the anxiety and tension in her heart are constantly wearing away her spirit.

(Could it be that the man noticed that Liu Er was not feeling well and did it on purpose?)

Confusion appeared in Liu Ku's eyes. Now thinking back, every time Meng Yue chose to send him away, it was when she was about to collapse under pressure.

He tried to put forward his guess to Shidou and Origami. In response, both of them gave Rokuko a positive answer.

"I think Rokuko is right. Mengyue has always been this kind of person."

"Although I won't say it deliberately, being good at taking care of people has always been Miss Mengyue's strength."

"I see……"

Rokuko muttered quietly. Although she was a little unhappy to hear Shidou praising other women, it seemed that these were all facts.

I originally thought that the girls around Shidao were all arrogant and unreasonable like Yatogami Tohka, but now it seems that there are still some sensible and good people.

Coming to an open-air table and chairs, Rokuko and his group chose to sit here and take a short rest, waiting for Tohka and Mengyue to come back.

Rokuko sat next to Shidou as a matter of course and leaned on his shoulder.

"call……"

Feeling Shidao's warmth and breath, Rokuko's heart gradually calmed down. In fact, for her, the date location is not that important. As long as the important person stays by her side, it is an extremely happy thing.

However, that was all. Rokuko had no plans for further action. Although Yatogami Tohka was a very unpleasant and savage woman, she did not want to be considered by Shidou as someone who only knew how to win by using small tricks, nor did she want to be considered as inferior to Tohka. Since this had already become a fight to win, Rokuko had to win fairly.

"Hey... Sir, can I ask you a question?"

Rokuko spoke in a low voice.

"what?"

"That woman... named Liang Yi Meng Yue, once claimed to be your family member. Is that true?"

Hearing Rokuko's question, Shidou showed a complicated expression, hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile.

"Yeah, that's right."

So don’t you feel bad about being forgotten by your family?

"..."

Her cherry lips moved slightly, and after a long silence, Rokuko finally did not ask the question.

Of course, even if Shidou feels sad about this, Rokuko will not think that he is wrong. Since Shidou and she have made a lifelong commitment, it is necessary to keep a distance from other women. After sealing the memory, Shidou can also end this relationship smoothly without hurting them.

Although he was a bit cruel to Shidou in the beginning, as time goes by, Shidou will definitely understand Rokuko's good intentions.

However, what she was really afraid of hearing from Shidou was a denial.

(If one day... the official's memory of Liu'er is sealed by someone else... will he abandon his memory of Liu'er without hesitation?)

Thinking of this, Rokuko couldn't help but secretly pinch the hem of her skirt.

"Hey... Sir?"

"Ok?"

"Sir...you won't abandon Liu'er, right?"

Shidou couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard Rokuko's words, but soon, he gently touched Rokuko's hair and answered firmly.

"No, don't worry."

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

"You guys, did you do this on purpose?"

Putting a piece of takoyaki into her mouth, Tohka looked at Mengyue and asked coldly.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't play dumb. You deliberately lured me out with food so that the elf and the man could be alone, right?"

"what……"

After being torn apart by Tohka's finger, Mengyue couldn't help but look away in embarrassment.

"Well, it doesn't matter, right? That girl isn't the type to take advantage of you when you're not paying attention. And if you don't give her some time to relax, she won't be able to bear it and will explode."

"Hmph, not bad for an elf, but the spiritual side is too weak."

As if she knew what Mengyue was talking about, Tohka snorted, poked a takoyaki with a toothpick and put it in her mouth, commenting lightly.

Mengyue looked at Tohka with a little surprise.

"…That's unexpected. I thought you would say something like 'This has nothing to do with me, just chop down anyone who gets in my way.'"

"Huh, take care of me."

After taking a quick glance at Meng Yue, Tohka asked back.

"You are the one. Why don't you continue to act like an ignorant passerby like before?"

Meng Yue sighed helplessly and spread her hands and said.

"Well, different people should be treated differently. I feel that when communicating with you, it is better not to beat around the bush and speak directly to the point."

A sneer appeared on Tohka's lips.

"Good judgement. If you keep pestering me with that annoying attitude, I might be tempted to pick up the Tyrannosaurus and cut you in two."

"Ah la la..."

There was a hint of murderous intent in her tone, and Mengyue couldn't help but smile bitterly when she saw that Tohka had no intention of joking.

(She has the same keen intuition as the original Tohka. Although she gives people the impression of being belligerent and cold, she is surprisingly the type who can communicate.)

Meng Yue secretly evaluated Tohka's reversal in her heart. If the other party was really the kind of person who liked to solve everything with violence, he would not have warned her but would have directly attacked her.

What exactly is Tohka at this moment? Meng Yue couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Unlike what happened to Nia and Origami at that time, which was also a reversal, Tohka did not lose everything and destroy everything around her like the other two. Although she was very aggressive, each of her actions was driven by a clear consciousness and purpose.

Considering that there is no reversal of previous memories, the Tohka in front of us may not be classified as the type like Origami Kotono who switches between different personalities due to certain conditions, but a true dual personality.

"Tohka, is it okay to call you that?"

"Not interested in."

Tohka said without a second thought as she continued to eat the remaining takoyaki.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but Meng Yue didn't care much and continued speaking.

"Ah... that's it. Tohka, can you tell me why you want Shidou to surrender in his heart?"

Hearing Mengyue's words, Tohka stopped what she was doing, raised her head and glanced at Mengyue, with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.

"What do you intend to do by asking this?"

"Ah, don't be so alert. I'm not going to do anything to you."

Meng Yue smiled bitterly, waved her hand, and explained patiently.

"Actually, I want Rokuko to use the angels to help me with some troublesome problems, so I have to let Shidou convince her. But if the current situation is that you and Rokuko are fighting for Shidou, I'm afraid Rokuko will find it difficult to agree to my request."

"You want me to give up?"

"I didn't say that. I just wanted to confirm your reason and see if there is any way to satisfy both you and Rokuko's goals and resolve the issue peacefully."

"Hmph, mind your own business."

With an unhappy snort, Tohka lowered her head, ate the remaining takoyaki quickly, and handed the empty paper box to Mengyue.

"Give me another one, and I'll consider answering your question."

Hearing Tohka's request, Mengyue was stunned at first, then nodded readily.

"No problem, boss. Another serving of takoyaki."

"okay!"

Seeing the food in the paper box being replenished, Tohka still had a cold expression, but her piercing aura was slightly eased.

“The reason is very simple.”

Tohka said this while eating the food in her hand.

"I suffered at the hands of that man once. In order to return the humiliation doubly, I must make him submit to me from the bottom of his heart. Only then can I relieve my unhappiness."

"That's it..."

After hearing Tohka's answer, Mengyue looked thoughtful.

Meng Yue had already overheard this answer through the communicator when Shixiang was talking to Origami. Although she didn't think Shixiang's words were false, since she had asked the question, she naturally didn't want to hear the answer she already knew again.

"Is that all? There must be other reasons."

Meng Yue asked tentatively while carefully observing Tohka's expression.

"For example, it's related to another Tohka."

"Tsk. You really are such a jerk."

Tohka smacked her lips in annoyance and after a long silence, she spoke.

"When I saw that man, I felt as if someone was pressing down on my chest. I knew that the pain was not caused by me, but by that child. So if I want to eliminate this feeling, I have to eliminate the source."

After hearing what Tohka said, Mengyue seemed to understand something and secretly broke into a cold sweat for Shidao.

"I can assure you that even if you kill Shidou, the feeling in your heart will not disappear. It will only become stronger."

"I already know that without you telling me."

Tohka replied without denying it.

"Although I understand that the white-haired woman said this for other purposes, it is indeed an interesting idea to make that man's heart yield. It can not only solve the child's troubles, but also relieve my unhappiness."

"Ah...I see."

Meng Yue let out a sigh. Now she was very glad that she chose to confirm the reason for her action with Shi Xiang.

"Tohka, if I say that my method can also eliminate the depression in your heart, what will you do?"

Hearing Meng Yue's words, Shixiang couldn't help but sneer.

"Hmph... who knows? Although the method doesn't matter, I don't need to assist you. Besides, making that man surrender physically and mentally is indeed one of my goals. If that key spirit comes to hinder me, I will naturally destroy her without mercy."

After saying that, Tohka threw the empty box aside and stood up to go back to Shidou Rokuko.
