This is not the date I wanted.

Because she was concerned about this strange phenomenon, Tohka did not continue to fight with Rokuko, but took the initiative to distance herself and landed on the ground.

Although Tohka thought it was a trick by Rokuko for a while, Rokuko soon descended from the sky to the ground and looked at her with a look that asked, "What on earth did you do?"

(Then the instigators must be those three people and their companions.)

As expected, just as Tohka guessed, Shidou, Origami, and Yumezuki flew between Tohka and Rokuko as if they had anticipated the moment when they would stop.

"What are you planning to do?"

"I'm here to stop you from fighting."

Hearing Mengyue's answer, Tohka clicked her lips unhappily.

"Tsk, are you here to get in the way?... Never mind, I can just beat you all down anyway."

As she said that, Tohka raised the "Tyranny King" and pointed it at the three people.

Facing Tohka's murderous look, Meng Yue put her hands on her hips and asked back calmly.

"So you admit you lost?"

"what?"

Tohka couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"Although your battle with Rokuko is over, the match with Shidou is still going on. Our Shidou has no intention of giving up. His heart has not surrendered yet. If you kill him like this, you will spend your life with the shame of defeat."

Meng Yue explained with a smile. She knew that this Tohka hated losing very much.

Sure enough, Tohka's expression changed several times, but in the end, she still agreed with Meng Yue's words and squeezed out these few words through gritted teeth.

"...Get lost. After I deal with this woman, I will naturally end things with that man."

"I don't want~"

"you!?"

Tohka looked at Mengyue in disbelief.

"Didn't I say from the beginning that I was here to stop the fight? If that's the case, how could I let you and Rokuko continue fighting? Just use your brain and you'll understand."

Having said that, Meng Yue shrugged speechlessly.

"what?!"

As if provoked by Mengyue's words, Tohka flew to Mengyue angrily and grabbed her collar.

"You bastard! If you really want to die so badly! I'll grant your wish!"

"Okay! Come if you want!!"

Instead of flinching, Mengyue opened her arms and retorted in a voice that was no less loud than Tohka's.

"I'm unarmed right now. If you kill me, it means you've lost to me mentally! Then you won't just lose to Shidou, you'll also lose to me! Origami, you'll be a witness here. If this woman dares to hurt me, you'll be the referee and declare her defeated!"

"you--!"

"...Well, I'll watch."

Under Tohka's angry gaze, Origami shrank her head and replied.

Her body was shaking with anger. Tohka seemed to want to open her mouth to refute Mengyue's twisted logic, but how could she, who was always used to taking action instead of talking, be a match for Mengyue? She opened her mouth and closed it, unable to utter a word, and could only stare at Mengyue, as if she wanted to cut her into pieces with her eyes.

Looking at this scene, Shidao inexplicably felt that Tohka was a bit pitiful.

However, no matter how pitiful it is, it was agreed beforehand that Tohka would be handed over to Yumezuki and Origami, and rather than caring about them, Shidou also had his own things to do.

"Rokuko.

Coming in front of Rokuko, Shidou gently called out his name.

"Why are you here, sir?" Looking at Shidao, Rokuko couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise, "This place is very dangerous. In order to avoid getting hurt, sir, you'd better leave here quickly."

"I won't leave." Shaking his head silently, Shidou said firmly, "I'm here to stop you, Rokuko."

"Stop... Liu'er?"

As if not understanding what Shidou meant, Rokuko tilted his head in confusion.

"What happened just now was just a misunderstanding. Tohka didn't intend to be violent to me. I accidentally lost control of my emotions and my actions and tone were a bit rude, which made Tohka angry. Besides, I wasn't hurt."

"Official..."

"I know you value your hair very much, so it's not surprising that you're angry. But it was just an accident, and Tohka definitely didn't mean it. I really don't want to see any of you get hurt! Besides, even if your hair is cut off, I still think Rokuko is very cute. I will never hate you and will always be by your side!"

After saying everything he could think of, Shidou lowered his head towards Rokuko and pleaded.

"So, can you please forgive Tohka and stop hitting me!"

After listening to Shidou's words patiently for a long time, Rokuko sighed softly.

"...As expected, the master is a very gentle person...Okay, Liu'er will not mind the hair cutting."

Hearing Rokuko's answer, Shidou felt relieved.

"Thank you! Rokuko!"

"…Hey, sir."

With a smile on his face, Rokuko said,

"Liu'er... has made up his mind to unlock the memories of Miss Mengyue and Miss Origami. They are both kind people, people whom you value... Although it's a pity, Liu'er doesn't want to make you sad. The same goes for the others. If they are really harmless, Liu'er will unlock their memories one by one."

"Really?"

Shidou couldn't help but look at Rokuko in surprise.

"Of course, Liu'er is not lying."

Seeing Rokuko nod, Shidou couldn't help but feel surprised.

"Thank you, Rokuko! Thank you very much!"

"but--"

However, at this moment, Rokuko changed his tone and turned his gaze to Tohka, with deep disgust in his eyes.

"That woman is not good! She is rude, cruel, and bad. Regardless of whether she is right or wrong, if you let that woman stay with you, she will only continue to take advantage of your kindness and hurt you constantly."

Realizing that Rokuko had a misunderstanding about Tohka, Shidou hurriedly tried to explain.

"Wait! Rokuko, Tohka is not that kind of person!"

However, Rokuko just looked at Shidou with an unchanged smile.

"I'm sorry, sir. Liu'er's unintentional act has caused you so much pain. As an apology, Liu'er will eliminate all the pests around you and give you a world of eternal peace and happiness."

As the words fell, Shidou saw a glow of spiritual power blooming behind Rokuko.

Shidou then realized that while he was looking down and not paying attention, Rokuko had already placed the "Seal Master" behind him and opened the [door] to hide it inside.

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

Hearing Rokuko's words, Shidou quickly turned his head.

He saw that behind Tohka, the tip of the "Sealing Master" poked out from a tiny door and stabbed silently towards Tohka's back.

At this time, Tohka seemed to have been persuaded by Mengyue and Origami. She put down her weapons and prepared to cease fire, and was completely unprepared for the sneak attack from behind.

(Too late!)

Shidou realized this. With the help of the "Sage of Dawn" in his hand, he clearly understood that in less than half a second, the "Priest of Seal" would pierce Tohka. Whether it was to warn Tohka or stop Rokuko, it was too late.

Then, Yatogami Tohka will die.

Death? The moment he thought of this word, Gokawa Shidao's heart was filled with endless fear.

He was not afraid of his own death. In the process of saving the elves, he had already brushed shoulders with "death" several times.

Compared to this, he was more afraid that his family, friends, and loved ones would die in front of him and leave him.

(……stop.)

Under the pressure of fear, the heart beat violently and uncontrollably, and the blood flowed through the body at an unprecedented speed.

Just as if a dying person watched the revolving lantern of his life in an instant, Shidao felt that his consciousness was accelerating uncontrollably.

(stop!!!!!)

At this time, in response to Shidao's strong emotions, the dark blue wristband on his right wrist flashed with a strong light.

[Received host's command——Limiter released——Time limit 0.42 seconds——Entered accelerated calculation——Mobilized all host's spiritual power——Violent decoding began——]

Half a second, the time given to Gokawa Shidao did not increase. However, the scale of this half a second was constantly expanding.

And during this time that was constantly expanding, Shidou's body was like an engine running at full speed - no, it was an engine running at an overspeed. Most of the spiritual energy that had originally sank to the bottom of the body was fully mobilized, circulating and condensing in the spiritual energy channel that had expanded to the limit, and then -

boom--!

Under the guidance of the "Sage of Dawn", the spiritual power in Shidao's body fiercely and accurately hit the "lock" in Shidao's body that only existed in concept.

[The first impact failed——the second impact begins——]

It is undeniable that as the only conceptual angel that has appeared so far, the ability of the "Lord of Sealing" is undoubtedly powerful. As long as it is sealed by the ability of [Close], if you want to restore it to its original state, you must rely on the "Lord of Sealing"'s [Open] to unlock and restore it.

However, there is no such thing as absolute in the world. No matter how strong a seal is, it has its limit.

Instead of finding the correct key to open the lock, the "Sage of the Dawn"'s current task is to transform the spiritual power used in Shidao's body into a violent hammer and completely smash the lock.

[211th time - failed - 212th time - failed - 213th time - failed - 214th time - succeeded - mission completed. Expand - Haniel (fake witch) - Kaleidoscope - Michael (sealing master) -]

Shidou's time perception returned to normal, and with it came a sharp pain from all over his body, which made him scream.

At the same time, the "Sage of Dawn" in Shidao's wrist also reached its limit in an instant of overload operation, turning into light particles and dissipating in the air.

However, these costs were not in vain. In front of Shidao, a door leading to Tohka quietly opened.

"Sir!?"

Rokuko couldn't help but scream.

(Catch up!)

Without any hesitation, Shidou flew into the door.

"Tohka!"

"?!"

Under Tohka's surprised gaze, Shidou rushed over and pushed her away at the critical moment.

In exchange, the next moment, the tip of "Seal Master" pierced Gokawa Shido's shoulder.

PS: I finished reading volume 20, it’s pretty good but I also have mixed feelings… I hope Tohka has a happy ending.

36 Six-Minded, Collapse

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

In the deserted school, the girl met "a certain existence".

I don't know whether it is a boy or a girl, a child or an adult, and I can't even confirm whether it is a human being. The other person's appearance is as blurry as if there is a layer of gauze.

--what happened?

"A certain existence" asked the girl this question.

Don't talk to strangers. This is what her parents and sister told her. If it were any other day, the girl would have already run away in panic.

However, the feeling of loss from being betrayed by her family and the loneliness of being alone made her involuntarily open her heart to this inhuman being and pour out all the grievances in her heart.

——Poor child. I also understand the feeling of wanting to monopolize the important person and be with them forever.

"Do you understand that, too?"

Hearing the other party's answer, the girl couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity.

——Yes, I know. You want your sister and your parents to stay with you forever, right? Maybe I can help you.

"Really?! Do you have a way to get my sister back to me?"

There was a glimmer of joy in the girl's eyes.

--certainly.

Then, "a certain existence" handed the girl a golden gem that shone with a moving light.
