This is not the date I wanted.

It should even be said that she did not regard this behavior as a bad thing at all.

"... Don't you have any ideas? Triggering a space tremor or something like that, you actually did something like this..."

"That's enough... Shiori. It's useless for you to say anything more."

"Meng Yue?"

Patting Shidao's shoulder gently, Mengyue shook her head, looked at Miku's gentle smile, and said lightly: "To her, so-called humans are just toys, and we are just special and rare dolls."

Elves, who possess a level of existence that is different from human common sense, can be considered the strongest creatures in the world on the food chain.

When Meng Yue still possessed the power of the elves, she realized that overusing this power would only gradually distort her values. Therefore, Meng Yue has been recalling her past life as a human being and has been trying to live in a "human" way.

The opposite is true for Yuiya Miku. Because of her abuse of power, she gradually lost herself and became twisted.

In her eyes, humans are just a group of interesting toys.

In a sense, perhaps, Yuiya Miku is the one among all the elves whose thoughts are most worthy of the title of "elf".

"Oh my, that's an exaggeration, Mengyue-san. I don't think that way—"

"Really... Then let me ask you, if those students who left school with you before were affected by your space shock that day, how would you feel?"

In response to Mengyue's questions that sounded like a reporter's interview, Meijiu frowned, seeming to be troubled.

"Indeed... it's very troublesome. I have to find other girls I like."

From this sentence, it can be fully proved that Meng Yue’s guess is correct.

Shidou couldn't help but doubt his own ears.

Kurumi, who took many lives with her own will, is indeed a terrifying existence. Her malice and murderous intent constantly stimulate Shidao's nerves.

However, Miku's values, views on life and death, and various concepts are completely different from Shidao and the others.

While Shidou was shocked, Mengyue continued to ask questions.

"So what do you think about the girl who was harmed by the space shock?"

"Well... it's true that I would be very sad if that girl died. But you see, that girl loves me so much, and dying for me is her long-cherished wish, right?"

"Are you confident that she likes you to this extent?"

"That's right. It's not just her, right? Everyone likes me. No matter what I say, everyone will listen to me."

"enough!!!!"

As if to stop the noise, Shidou shouted with extremely strong momentum.

"Shiori calm down! Don't lose your temper!"

Although he could hear Kotori's voice trying to stop him, he couldn't stop himself at this point.

Shidou slowly raised his head, looked at Miku, and made a sound that even Shidou himself trembled.

"Yuuyomiku, I really hate you——"

"……oops?"

Miku's eyebrows suddenly twitched.

"Arrogant and rude, it's disgusting. Everyone likes you? Haha!"

Shidou raised his right hand and pointed at Miku.

"Since the whole world wants to affirm you, I will do it a thousand times more - deny you and your actions!"

For a few seconds, Mijiu's face showed confusion, but she finally calmed down and narrowed her eyes.

"Oh...hate it, me? Meng Yue classmate, what about you?"

Kotori's voice asking her to save the situation rang in her ears, Meng Yue smiled softly and replied.

"I'm glad...Shiori and I have the same idea."

At that moment, a twisted smile appeared on Miku's face.

"Hehe, after hearing what you said, I want you even more. I want Shiori-san and Mengyue-san to kneel at my feet together, crying with snot running down their noses and shouting 'I love you the most'. Hehehe——"

"Do you think it's possible?"

With a light chuckle, Meng Yue blocked Shizhi behind her, and a trace of electricity began to appear on her bangs.

"Well...if a fight breaks out here, I'll be in a lot of trouble without a home. Oh, that's right—"

Suddenly, Miku clapped her hands as if she had come up with a good idea.

"In that case... let's have a match!"

"……Contest?"

"That's right! If you win, I will seal my spiritual power as Shiori-san requested. On the contrary, if you lose..."

Miku smiled innocently and continued,

"Then, Shiori-san and the six sealed spirits including Mengyue-san will all become mine!"

07 The uncertain direction of the Tianyang Festival

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

"…Are you serious?"

With a low voice, Liaozi stared at the group of people standing in front of him.

A magician transferred from DEM as a supplementary staff member of AST.

Although this is what is said in name, in reality the other party is not only an independent force with a name, but is also given special authority to ignore orders from superiors at important moments.

Liaozi thought from the bottom of his heart how ridiculous this arrangement was.

It is clear that the incorporation of DEM's magicians into AST is only to facilitate the operations of DEM's dispatched personnel in Tengu City.

At this time, in the command room of the Ground Self-Defense Force's Amemiya base, Ryoko and the original AST members, as well as the dispatched personnel from DEM, were confronting each other, and a slight smell of gunpowder was spreading in the air.

In response to Ryoko's question, Jessica, who was standing in the middle of the DEM dispatched personnel, spoke.

"Of course. If you can't believe it, do you need me to show you the documents with the seal of the top leaders?"

"Okay, let me ask this another way - are you crazy?"

Patting the order in his hand, Liaozi stared into Jessica's eyes and questioned her harshly.

The commands on the document seemed ridiculous just by looking at the content.

An operation to capture a high school girl named Yatogami Tohka, who is suspected to be the elf "Princess", and her classmate Gokawa Shido.

"Even if I tell Bai Yi Bu that Yatogami Tohka has been confirmed to be an elf and is attending school, we will not have any objection. But why is there an ordinary citizen among the targets? Could this boy also be an elf?!"

Listening to Liaozi's rude questioning, Jessica smiled with a sense of mischief.

"The details are secret, but I can tell you that he is a very important target for us."

"I'm talking about you..."

"In other words, you are not allowed to know about this matter."

"cut……"

Jessica pointed out the truth. Liaozi made a sound that even Jessica could hear, and pointed to the next item in the file.

"Then what's the point of this. -- The operation will be carried out on Saturday, September 23rd. The location is the Tiangong Square Tianyang Festival venue!? You know, the manifestation device is a confidential technology!? You actually want to fight with so many people in front of them-- No, compared to this, are you planning to fight with the elves in this crowded place!? Do you know what you are talking about?"

Liaozi let out a cry that was almost like a whine. The problem was not limited to the target of the arrest.

I'm afraid that the venue of the Ten'ou Festival will be the most crowded place in Tengu City on that day, but the AST troops are going to break in and capture Yatogami Tohka and Gokawa Shido in front of the public.

Moreover, the execution force of this operation was only composed of members sent by DEM. Former AST members like Ryoko were assigned to the logistics work of surrounding security and intelligence control, and most of them could not get close to the scene. This meant that even if they messed around at the scene, Ryoko and others would have no way to stop them.

What a ridiculous order, it looks like... no, it looks like the top management of AST was bribed by DEM. Liaozi thought, gritting his teeth.

"If I had to choose, there would be so many better times than that day. What's the point of doing this?!"

Unlike Liaozi who seemed to be burning like a raging flame, Jessica exhaled a breath as cold as ice, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.

"This is for..."

"To greet our dear enemies! If I don't make it more grand, it would seem like I look down on them."

Sitting on the sofa in a five-star hotel, Isaac Ray Pelham Westcott was shaking the red wine in his hand in a pretentious manner and making strange laughter.

"...If this is the reason, please allow me to revise the battle plan. Ike."

Standing behind Westcott, Alan, whose body had recovered from the previous battle injuries, stared at Westcott. Although his expression remained unchanged, there was a hint of complaint in his eyes.

"Don't say that, Alan. It's more interesting this way. Only a heavy blow can make those naive pacifists clearly realize how naive they are."

With no intention of stopping his laughter, Westcott waved at Allen and said.

Finally, Alan seemed to give up and sighed deeply.

"Ha... If that's what you really intend to do, I don't have any objections."

"Well...if you think I can't do it, I can make appropriate changes =w=."

"No need, I am the most powerful magician in the world. -_-#"

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

On the other hand, at night, after leaving Miku's house, Mengyue and Shidao were immediately transferred to Fraxinus's airship, and what greeted them was Gokawa Kotori's unhappy expression.

"Do you have anything to explain... Shidou?"

"...I no longer have the face to face the people of Jiangdong."

Kneeling on the ground in Shiori-chan mode, Shidao whispered with sweat on his face.

By the way, Shidou is now kneeling in the center of the round table in the command room, being stared at by the crew members around him... It feels like he is being brought to court as a defendant.

at the same time……

"Shiori-chan did nothing wrong! You can't bully her!"

Liang Yi Meng Yue held Shidao in her arms and shouted like a hen protecting her chicks.

By the way, the breasts have arrived...

"By the way, Sister Mengyue, what did I say to you?" Kotori scratched her head and said weakly, "It was you who said you would run to rescue Shidou. Why was Shidou shouting 'I hate you the most' and 'I want to deny you', and you didn't run to save the situation, but instead added fuel to the fire..."

"Yeah... I was just reacting based on the atmosphere at the time."

Meng Yue looked away with a guilty smile.

"But, but... that girl is so weird! Doesn't she care about human life at all!? No... it should be said that she used that voice to make everyone like her, so there is no one around to tell her what is bad and what is not allowed. In that case, I will -"

"That didn't have to be said. At least at that time."

"Gu..."

Being told so bluntly, Shidou was unable to refute for a moment.

"No, although the timing is not very good, from my point of view, Shidou's approach is not wrong."

However, Mengyue denied Qinli's statement with a very affirmative expression.

"Sister Mengyue, can you tell me what you think? Please make it clear first, and don't mix up your personal feelings about Shizhi."

Although Kotori frowned slightly, she still asked, considering that Mengyue was at the scene at the time and might have different ideas.

"Don't worry! Although I was very upset, I was watching the atmosphere carefully at that time." Meng Yue nodded slightly and said, "I dare say that if we didn't do this at that time, the possibility of us being able to capture Meijiu would be very low."

"What's the reason?"

"Because from what happened just now, even after revealing our true identities, Yui Miku still puts herself at the top of the world, looking down on us. That guy has been twisted... by the power of the elves." Meng Yue shrugged lightly and said in a deep voice, "Kotori-chan should also understand how terrible the power of the elves is, whether it is for others or for oneself."

Kotori's face visibly froze. Indeed, every time she used her power, she would feel the violent urge to destroy everything. If her spiritual power had not been sealed, she would not be standing here living a peaceful life, but would be hunted down by humans as a destructive disaster.

"It is true that Yui Miku's values ​​are different from those of ordinary people, but that is why her spiritual power must be sealed. Should we conduct a comprehensive ideological education on this matter...!?"

Just when she was halfway through her words, Qinli suddenly felt the terrifying aura emanating from Mengyue.

"I will pretend that I didn't hear what you just said. Please take it back...Kotori."

If Tohka and Shiono were to be educated because they lacked common sense in order to better adapt to human society, then Meng Yue would never say anything. However, although Yui Miku's values ​​were twisted, they were undoubtedly unique.

In a sense, what Kotori said is no different from handcuffing a criminal and then taking the opportunity to brainwash him.
