This is not the date I wanted.

Then two figures suddenly appeared, and a violent gust of wind approached them with an extremely fast thrust.

Creating ice and controlling the wind. Yui Miku does not possess such powers, but...

“Stop, stop it! Yoshino! Yakuya and Yui! Hurry up and get back to normal!”

Shidou yelled as Tohka evaded Yamai's surprise attack by carrying him in a very embarrassing princess carry, but the opponent showed no intention of stopping the attack.

"What... are you talking about? Mr. Shidou... and Miss Tohka, why did you... want to harm Onee-sama?"

"That's right, it's all your fault. You need to be taught a lesson."

"Kuku... It seems that Shidou is saying something strange, Yui."

"Shocked. Has he lost his conscience?"

Yoshino, Yoshina who transformed into the angel Zadkiel (Ice Puppet), and the Yamai sisters answered one after another.

From their words, we can understand that they have not forgotten about Tohka, and their personalities have not changed at all. It's just that at the top of their values, there is a person named Yui Miku.

It was a mistake. I didn't expect that at the moment of deciding the outcome, Miku would actually break the contract and use the angel.

"Shidou, what should we do now?"

While leading Shidou to avoid the attacks from the audience and Yakuya and the others, Tohka asked with a hint of uneasiness.

Shidou didn't know what to think about Tohka's question.

Although Tohka wore noise-isolating headphones to hear the music clearly and was not affected by Miku's "voice", it was obvious that Tohka alone could not withstand the attacks of so many elves.

Although he wanted Kotori to teleport himself, the other end of the headset was off-hook from the beginning, and what was happening on the other side made him very uneasy.

The current situation is extremely dangerous.

"What should I do..."

However, at this moment, a wall of iron sand suddenly stretched out in front of Tohka. The turbulent iron sand had unparalleled cutting power, and even Tohka had to stop.

Then, the same sand wall appeared behind her, forcibly blocking Tohka's retreat, forcing her to stop.

"Dream Moon..."

Shidou looked at the girl in front of him and said with some difficulty.

"Really? Who told you to have nothing better to do than to attack Onee-sama? Shidou, if you're smart, just stay there and don't move."

The usual reliable and casual words rang out, but unfortunately, at this time, their identities changed from partners to enemies.

"Meng Yue——! Wake up!"

"Don't worry, I feel like I've never been more lucid than right now. 'Ratziel' (Dawn Sage) - Turret Mode."

After sighing lightly, with a calm expression on his face, Liang Yi Meng Yue switched the longbow from his left hand to his right hand. The dark blue bow arm was brought forward and the handle was fixed to his arm, turning it into a clamp-shaped turret.

Countless iron sands gathered from the ground to the muzzle like streams of water. The tip of the turret was facing Shidao. Circles of electric light began to float and began to emit heat that distorted the air.

——The situation is desperate.

"Haha—Actually, I have to thank Shiori-san, too. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met so many cute elves, let alone met such a cute and excellent Mengyue-san who can tie with me—Although I feel disgusted about talking to boys, I have to say thank you to you—hehe... ahhahahaha..."

His fingers gently stroked Mengyue's soft hair from behind. Meijiu's face showed an intoxicated look, and her beautiful lips seemed unable to stop emitting excited laughter.

"The bond between Shiori-san, Yumezuki-san, and everyone else is just so fragile. Winning or losing doesn't matter anymore, so I don't care about any promises - because the world must revolve according to my words -!"

Looking at Miku's charming and smug smile, Shidou clenched his teeth unwillingly.

"Mengyue, wake up!"

"I told you I'm sober now. Don't move and stand still. Otherwise it will be hard to aim at me."

At this time, Tohka was waving her Aoshagong and trying to split the iron sand. However, the dense iron sand instantly returned to its original state at the moment of cutting. Only relying on the partially unfolded spiritual suit, Tohka could not split the encirclement that was composed of sand particles from the beginning.

At this moment, Yoshino and Yamai were not moving far away, but if they showed any signs of breaking through the iron sand wall, they would probably launch an attack immediately.

"Just like that... leave now, Shidou."

"Mengyue, wake up!"

Ignoring Shidou's cries, Mengyue, with her usual indifferent expression, recited the words of the fatal blow without hesitation.

“——Railgun!”

At that moment, a huge orange beam of light penetrated the stage of Tiangong Square.

13 Believe in Mengyue?

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

Just a dozen minutes ago, the stage on Tiangong Square was filled with a very serious atmosphere.

The performers on the first day stood on the stage, waiting nervously for the host's voice.

This is also very normal. After all, all the performances and voting sessions have ended, and now is the time to announce the rankings.

The winners were announced one by one, and moans and cheers were heard from everywhere. Unlike this, Shidao and others still had tense expressions on their faces.

For them, achieving good results is meaningless. If they cannot defeat Miku in this performance, it will be equivalent to a defeat.

Since the rankings were announced from the lowest to the highest, the names of Shidao and Mengyue's programs had not yet appeared, which made people secretly relieved, but also kept their nerves tense.

"Third place in the stage department - Xiancheng University Affiliated High School! - Jazz performance!"

The performers from the school that was called out cheered excitedly, and cheers and applause filled the air all around.

That was the same band that performed jazz before Shidou, and Shidou also applauded.

Being chosen as the third place shows that the other party's performance was excellent. As for why the feeling is so ambiguous, in fact, Shidao was too focused at the time, and even though he was in the backstage, he didn't leave any impression at all.

However, there is an anomaly here. Obviously, there are only two remaining places: the champion and the runner-up. But in fact, there are still three programs that have not been ranked.

A wonderful performance by active idol Yui Miku.

A miraculous performance by the Raizen High School Maid Band.

An extremely passionate performance by a girl named Ryougi Yumezuki.

No matter which group is chosen, their performance is the best among all.

In fact, everyone believed that the championship, runner-up and third place would definitely be taken by these three groups.

【Second place! 】

As if to answer the doubt, the host's voice sounded again.

It seemed that the host himself was a little nervous. After a pause, he spoke slowly.

"——One step away, Laizen High School——The band is playing!"

After hearing the news, the audience paused for a moment, and then burst into enthusiastic cheers.

"Shidou, we are second place?"

Tohka tugged at Shidou's maid skirt and asked with a slightly curious look.

"Well...it looks like that."

Tohka tilted her head in confusion at this answer.

"But then, isn't there only the first place left? Aren't Meng Yue and Mei Jiu the remaining people?"

Although he wanted to answer Tohka's question, in reality, even Shidou didn't understand what was going on.

Shidou was not the only one who noticed this. There were also some puzzled discussions among the audience.

But at this moment, Meng Yue seemed to have understood the result, and a smug smile appeared on her face.

On the contrary, Yuiya Miku's face looked very gloomy.

In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that if there is only one first place left, but there are still two contestants -

"Next, the person who won the first place in the stage performance was surprisingly——"

The host's voice trembled slightly due to excessive excitement, but he continued to explain seriously.

At the same time, all the lights shone on Meijiu and Mengyue.

[——There are actually two of them!! The singing performance of Rindouji girl Yui Miku-sama, and the solo performance of Raizen High School’s Ryogi Yumezuki! Miraculously, the two of them got the same number of votes and won the crown at the same time!]

“…OO ...

As if unable to understand what the host said, the whole audience fell into a brief silence. Then, as if making the entire space of the venue tremble, overwhelming cheers surged like waves.

Afterwards, all the members of the Raizen High School maid band excitedly rushed to Mengyue, who had changed into a butler's uniform.

"Ah! You are indeed my compatriot. You have successfully captured those mediocre people with the devil's voice of hell——"

"Awesome! Mengyue did a great job!"

"Oh! Meng Yue is really amazing. Let's go home and eat soybean flour bread to celebrate!"

"Great! Well done Meng Yue!"

"Hey, hey, hey! All of you stop pressing on me! And Shidou, stop getting so close to me like that! Stay away from me!"

With a red face, Meng Yue broke away from the four people who were rushing towards her. She had a hundred reasons to believe that if she didn't do this, these guys would definitely be excited and play the "Hey, throw!" game of throwing air to celebrate in public...

How embarrassing——!

After gently tidying up her appearance, Mengyue slowly walked in front of Meijiu.

"Ah-Meng Yue is really amazing. She can even compete with me in singing."

Even though Miku must be in a very bad mood right now, in order to maintain her idol image in front of the public, Miku still greeted with a smile on her face.

"No, no, if it weren't for the careful and thoughtful support from Mijiu, I wouldn't be able to step onto the stage with such enthusiasm. I have to thank Mijiu for that~"

Meng Yue responded with the same elegant and brilliant smile.

Hmm... this excellent sarcasm froze Miku's elegant smile on the spot as if time had stopped.

"Hey hey! Meng Yue, what are you talking about!"

Shidou hurriedly said to Mengyue.

After hearing Shidao's reminder, Mengyue realized that she was not fighting with Miku just to compete with her, but more importantly, she wanted Shidao to seal Miku's ability. She couldn't let Miku's mood get worse at this time.

"Well... that's true. I'll let you, Shiori-chan, handle this."

After looking at Miku meaningfully, Mengyue patted Shidao on the shoulder and handed the right to speak to Shidao.

Shidou nodded to Meng Yue's baton, looked at Miku's face, and slowly said:

"Miku, we win this battle, right? According to the agreement, you have to seal the power of the spirit."

In response to Shidou's words, Miku showed a very stiff smile, which was different from usual.

"Ah—what are you talking about, Shiori-san? Mengyue-san has never beaten me. We just tied. In other words... there is no winner or loser in that bet. It's a draw."

In response to Miku's childish and willful excuses, Shidou said solemnly, "I remember that Miku was talking about the results of the first day of school competition."

[Tenyo Festival first day comprehensive ranking first, Laizen High School! ! ]

As if to declare victory for Shidou, the host used the microphone to loudly broadcast the result to the entire venue.

The first time, no, the second time. After being strongly denied by Shidou and Mengyue, Yui Miku once again showed an uneasy look on her face.

According to the host, it seems that the performance of the display department and simulation store of Rindouji Girls this year is not ideal. On the contrary, Raizen High School received excellent votes in this aspect. In particular, a maid cafe, due to the freshness of the subject matter and the high quality of the dishes and services, almost left other peers far behind.

While fighting head-on, Meng Yue also cleverly seized the opponent's weaknesses and attacked.

Not missing any winning factor and making full use of it. This is Meng Yue's style.

This result is by no means accidental.

--Won.

we won.

I've beaten Miku. I've beaten Ryodanji.

[——Then, let’s begin the commendation ceremony. Representatives from each school, please come to the front.]

The host said this, and then urged the performers from the three schools to come to the front.

but--

"… Stop kidding. What is going on—"
