This is not the date I wanted.

Saying it in a matter-of-fact tone makes the fact seem even stranger.

However, Tohka obviously didn't care too much about this kind of thing.

"Humph! What do you mean humans are the strongest? Meng Yue said, 'The guy who was defeated by me twice in a row can only boast among humans that he is the strongest (laughs)'!"

Shidou looked at Tohka with some surprise as she sneered. Although Mengyue did say this during a casual conversation, he didn't expect that Tohka would actually think of saying it out loud.

This excellent sarcasm accurately hit the thorn in Allen's heart.

"…I really want to run over and end things with Hacker right now, but this is Ike's order after all…"

After a moment of silence to clear away the unnecessary emotions in his heart, Alan blinked and raised the laser lightsaber in his hand horizontally in front of his chest.

"Well, let's start from now on, capturing the girl who looks like the spirit princess - Yatogami Tohka, and the girl who looks like Itsuka Shido."

The next moment, the figure of the white mecha suddenly disappeared from sight, and the next moment, the huge shock wave blew Shidao away mercilessly.

"Tohka!"

Shidou shouted in the direction of Tohka, wanting to confirm her safety.

But at this time, Tohka was unable to answer Shidou's words.

Coming out of the smoke, Alan held Tohka, who had been forcibly removed from her spiritual outfit and was unconscious, in one hand and spoke in a cold and brutal tone.

"One of the targets, Yatogami Tohka, has been captured. Next, we will capture the girl who is suspected to be Gokawa Shidao."

Although I am somewhat curious whether the person in front of me has awakened some strange sexual fetish, it is obvious that these have nothing to do with the mission.

"Shidou... run... quickly..."

"hateful……"

Shidou clenched his fists tightly, his lips peeled from his clenched teeth.

Although running away is the best option for Shidou at this time, in fact, it is impossible for Shidou, who only has the physical fitness of an average person, to escape from Alan who is equipped with a display device.

Moreover, leaving Tohka in danger and running away alone was something he could not accept.

"Hou, you didn't turn around and run away but faced me directly? Just for this courage, it is worth looking at it in a different light."

"Hmph... I personally don't think there's anything to be happy about being praised by Meng Yue's defeated opponent."

After being hit on the thorn in his heart twice in a row, Alan's cold face obviously showed a hint of anger.

"Humph, there's no point in arguing with you verbally anyway. I'll refute everything with reality soon. I hope you can still hear me then!"

"..."

It works!

To calm his pounding heart, Shidou took a deep breath.

Recalling the two previous experiences, he delayed his gaze through verbal conversations while describing his wishes through intuition. As his emotions gradually came out, a force began to slowly take shape in his hands.

"Come out - and kill..."

"Alara, it's not possible now. If Shidou-san gets captured, I'll be troubled! I'll be upset!"

"Who?!"

At this moment, an enchanting voice sounded all around, making Alan more alert.

"This voice..."

Shidou widened his eyes in surprise and stopped what he was doing.

"'Zaphkiel' (Emperor of Keke) - 'Zayin' (Seven Bullets)."

A pitch-black bullet suddenly shot out from the shadows, from a very tricky position, Alan's blind spot, and flew towards his temple.

But even so, Alan still noticed the sudden sneak attack in the first time by using the exploration of the random field. His body rotated half a circle in the air with the propulsion of the mecha, and swung the laser lightsaber in his hand, chopping it down accurately.

Then, in the next moment, Alan seemed to have turned into a stone statue, motionless.

The space was frozen, or to be more precise, the time in that small space was suspended.

Shidou knows this ability, or rather, he knows the spirit that uses this ability.

"Krang San..."

"Ah la la la ~ Mr. Shidao, long time no see."

"Wow--!"

A few giggles rang close to his ears, causing Shidou's shoulders to tremble and he let out a cry of surprise.

A tight skirt made of blood-red and abyss-black. Black hair tied up asymmetrically. A clock face and a clock that ticks once every second appear in the left eye.

It's hard to believe that it's a naturally delicate face, adorned with a charming smile that is mixed with strange emotions.

"Hehe——Shidou-san's outfit is also very cute. Oh no~ I'm almost addicted! I'm getting excited~ So Shidou-san, please leave with me first~"

"Eh?"

Before Shidou could react, Kurumi had already pinned his shoulders down and his body sank into the shadows, unable to escape.

Right after that, the pause effect of the Seven Bullets also ended. Alan looked at the street where no one had appeared, tilted his head, and expressed deep confusion.

——————————————————————————————————I am the dividing line between successful escape————————————————————————————————————

"Yeah! That's all."

The figure emerged from the shadows, and Kurumi chuckled, loosening her restraints on Shidou.

"what!"

When he felt the restraints on his body being untied, Shidou lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Shidou found himself in a room that looked like an abandoned building.

Looking at such a beautiful girl in front of me, to be honest, I felt a chill as if I were being treated as prey.

"Don't worry, I don't plan to eat Mr. Shidao today~"

As if she was a little depressed by Shidou's reaction, Kurumi blinked her eyes, shrugged her shoulders and said.

Although he was a little unsure, Shidou also knew that if Kurumi really wanted to take the opportunity to eat him, she wouldn't be here talking nonsense with him.

"Kyousan...thank you...and can you help me rescue Tohka?"

Hearing Shidou's heartfelt request, Kurumi looked at Shidou with a curious smile.

"Throat... You were afraid of me just now, but now you're asking me for something. I wonder if Mr. Shidou is too shameless or just a complete idiot?"

"I know, but I can't save Tohka by myself."

Even if he could have summoned Aosa-ko at that time, it would have been of no use. Even Tohka, who possessed the original angel, could not defeat Eren. Shidou had no combat experience and had never learned swordsmanship, so let alone being able to save Tohka. At most, it was just a so-called death struggle.

"And I don't know where Tohka was taken. Even if we knew, DEM would have made strict precautions. The magician who captured Tohka must be there too. I can't save Tohka by myself... So, please save Tohka! Even if it means eating you...!"

Before Shidou could finish, Kurumi raised the flintlock in her hand, blocking Shidou from saying anything else.

"Please don't say such things, Mr. Shidou. Even if I really rescued Tohka, she would definitely not survive. I hate doing meaningless things!"

Even though he was smiling, Shidou could sense some anger in Kurumi's eyes.

"Yeah, sorry!"

"Well...but since you've considered these things, I have a new respect for Mr. Shidou."

Slowly putting down the gun, Kuang San curled the corners of his mouth and a smile appeared on his face.

"Hehe, don't worry, Miss Mengyue has already discussed the remuneration with me."

"You know Meng Yue!?"

Shidao's eyes widened as wide as they could. To be honest, when he heard Mengyue's name here, he expressed his surprise without any concealment. He really didn't expect that Mengyue had had contact with Kurumi before.

"Well... before Shidou sealed Miss Mengyue, we met once. Miss Mengyue looks much better than before. She is really worthy of being Mr. Shidou!"

Although he was a little concerned about what Kurumi said, now was obviously not the time to care about these things, so Shidou did not delve too deeply into it.

"What did Meng Yue discuss with you?"

Hearing Shidou's question, Kurumi placed her fingers on her cherry lips and answered with a charming smile.

"Ms. Mengyue and I agreed that if Miss Miku wants to break the contract and take coercive measures after the victory is decided, I will be responsible for picking up Mr. Shidao who escaped and assisting you in the capture of Miku. After that, she will help me infiltrate the interior of DEM."

"Infiltrating DEM? What for?"

"Well... this is not something that Shidou-san should be concerned about."

Seeing that Kurumi had no intention of answering, Shidou gave up the idea of ​​asking further questions.

"I'm so glad you agreed to this request."

"Alala, Mr. Shidou has become even more delicious, I welcome you very much~"

"..."

Seeing Shidou's speechless expression, Kurumi smiled with a hint of joy that her prank had worked.

"Well... Miss Tohka was captured, and I am somewhat responsible for watching and not taking action. I will help you as a condition of the gift."

"Well, thank you very much!"

Shidou nodded in gratitude and suddenly thought of something.

In many places that he didn't know about, Mengyue had already considered all the difficulties for Shidao in advance and arranged a path for him.

No complaints, no requests, just silently giving the greatest support.

"Meng Yue...are you okay?"

Looking at the brightly lit Tiangu Square in the distance, Shidao muttered with a little worry.

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

"Here, onee-sama, this is the dessert for dinner, chocolate mousse cake."

"Hmm~ Mengyue... come and feed me~"

“I really can’t help it. Come on! Onee-sama, ah——”

"Ah - it's delicious, Meng Yue's cooking skills are really great!"

"Well, would you like another bite, my onee-sama?"

"Yeah, ah——"

At this time, someone that Shidao was worried about was cosplaying in a butler costume with a certain idol lady, happily playing with the mood of Zhou Yu fighting Huang Gai - one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten, feeding them.

PS: OK! This is the end of the Miku duel chapter. I am about to move on to the next volume, the Miku (I haven't decided yet) volume!

00 The siege is about to begin

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

<Yesterday's enemy is today's friend. That being said...Miku, don't get close to me. Also, stay away from Shiori! ——A certain girl's roar. >

"Let Brother and Nightmare act together? No! I absolutely oppose this!"

At this time, 15,000 meters above the ground, in the Fraxinus aerial ship, a cutting-edge aerial weapon produced by Ratatoskr, Takamiya Mana walked straight up to Kotori without stopping, slapped his hand on the table with a deafening sound, and questioned Kotori sternly.

She had just helped Origami Tobiichi solve the harassment from the magicians of the DEM Club, but before she could catch her breath, she saw the news that Shidou was traveling with the most dangerous elves. No wonder she was so angry.

"You actually doubted the commander's judgment—"

"It's okay Shiizaki."

"But!"

"I told you it's okay."

After waving her hand to appease the dissatisfaction of her teammates, Kotori looked at Mana's stern eyes with some helplessness. After a moment, she bit the remaining extra-good lollipop in her mouth, sighed and said.

"Mana... I understand what you want to say. If possible, I would like to let Shidou leave Kurumi immediately."

"In that case, why let Brother-sama stay in such a dangerous place?!"

Mana shouted in an even more confused voice.

"Calm down... Mana, if there is any danger, we will use the space teleportation device to teleport him back immediately."

With her usual exhausted voice, Reine pressed Mana's shoulders and consoled her.
