This is not the date I wanted.

"Fufu... Fufufufufufufu... Really? I finally found it... Itsuki Shidou... I will never forgive you!"

Having said this, he slowly stood up from the chair.

Miku was determined to torture the guy who had deceived her feelings, not Gokawa Shiori but Gokawa Shidao, with a punishment that would make him regret being born into this world.

"It's more difficult than I thought. Fufufu, but it's no use. You can't escape the clutches of my lovely subordinates. - Who found him? If it's a girl, I'll go and pamper her. Ask her to come to the room later. If it's a man... well, just give him a piece of crystal candy and he'll be fine."

(Serious sexism!)

However, after hearing what Miku said, Ai, Mai and Mii looked at each other in confusion.

"? What's wrong? Ha, could it be that the one who found him was a human-demon...?"

(Puff! Onee-sama, your imagination is too strong. I surrender! I surrender!)

"No, no, it's not like that..."

"How should I put it? Too many people have discovered him..."

"Or maybe I don't know where he is hiding..."

Miku frowned because what they said was unclear.

"What are you talking about? Didn't you say you found the target?"

"Yes, it is!"

"Of course!"

"That's right!"

The three of them nodded at the same time.

"Then there's no problem. Where is he?"

"He's... very close here."

"Rather, it's right in front of the Tiangong Square."

"What, what should I do..."

"……Eh?"

Meijiu opened her eyes wide and made a sound of surprise.

However, Meng Yue smiled at a moment when no one else noticed.

01 This is Meijiu’s second round guide!

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

"Hey, is it okay to just barge in head-on like this?"

Standing in the center of Tianyang Square, Shidou looked around and said with some uneasiness.

He didn't know that Mijiu's territory had expanded to an exaggerated extent. Just as he stepped near the Tiangong Square, his figure was captured by a low-flying helicopter. Several searchlights were shining directly on him. Then, a sea of ​​people like zombies surged up from all directions, surrounding him and Kuang San.

I don't know if it was because they were observing this side or waiting for Miku's order, the crowd (♂) did not rush over, but just kept expanding the encirclement. At the front of the encirclement were policemen with guns and strong men.

"We have obtained the necessary information. No matter what we need to do next, we must come here, whether it is Miss Miku's strategy, Miss Mengyue's reunion, or Miss Tohka's rescue."

"I know this without you having to tell me. But there's no need to be so direct!"

"What does it matter? This is the most straightforward and direct way to notify someone~ And..."

Kurumi said with a relaxed look on her face, seemingly unfazed by the situation that could be described as desperate.

He even smiled a happy smile.

"Really... so much food was delivered. I'm so happy! I can't hold it anymore!"

"Kyouzo...?!"

Just when Shidao felt a little confused about Kurumi's words, he suddenly felt a strong sense of laziness.

Not only that, in the dark night, a huge black shadow had silently lurked under everyone's feet.

Looking around, the men who surrounded Shidao (♂) were all swallowed by the black shadow like a swamp, fell to the ground, and groaned in pain.

Then, the surrounding ground was clearly illuminated by the searchlight, but it was surrounded by a layer of darkness.

Shidao had a sense of déjà vu about this scene.

That's right, this happened three months ago - Shidou had experienced this once when Kurumi was in high school.

"(The City of Eating Time)..."

"Wow, hehe. You're right. I'm glad you still remember it, Mr. Shidou."

Kurumi twisted her lips and looked at Shidao. The golden text clock drawn on her left eye was spinning in the opposite direction at a very fast speed.

"The City of Time Eaters". Whenever she uses the power of an angel, Kuang San has to consume her own "time", which is her way of replenishing "time". She makes people who step into the shadow's time fall into a coma and absorbs their time - that is, their lifespan.

Kuang San looked at the crowd in front of her and gave a seductive smile.

"It's a rare opportunity for so many people to gather together, so let me make good use of it."

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

(Kyousan, that guy, can really do anything...)

Looking at the camera showing that Kuang San was absorbing time without any concealment, Meng Yue sighed helplessly.

Although it was the first time that Meng Yue saw Kurumi use such a trick, it did not affect her understanding of Kurumi's thoughts.

Although she only said that she would use any means as long as Shidao could be brought here, Kurumi's actions still made her feel a little unhappy.

(Well... we have fulfilled our promise not to kill innocent people, so Kurumi shouldn't be so cruel.)

Since panicking too much would only expose her identity, Meng Yue couldn't run to stop Kuang San. She could only pray that guy would know how to show mercy.

"Th-that is, what...?"

Seeing the image coming from the camera, Miku, who was sitting in the special seat and being hugged by the elves, enjoying the treatment of a winner in life, let out a lovely cry.

"That girl... could it be that she is also an elf...?"

Miku narrowed her eyes and looked at the girl on the monitor and said.

"Hmm... her name is Tokisaki Kurumi, and her codename is the spirit Nightmare, onee-sama."

Mengyue massaged Meijiu's shoulders and kindly answered Meijiu's questions.

However, Miku couldn't relax her expression because of this.

The humans that he controlled through his domain of control failed to capture Gokawa Shidao, and instead fell to the ground like a puppet that had lost its soul.

Judging from this situation, there is no doubt that the man had anticipated this situation to a certain extent. How insidious and shameless it is to keep an elf by his side! Mijiu clenched her fists in regret.

Meng Yue turned her head away calmly to show that it was none of my business~

Being able to reach here means that the girl also heard Miku's performance and would not be controlled by her. Obviously, the other spirits have become her captives... Could it be that the girl has the same ability as Shidou?

However, Mijiu didn't have time to think so much.

Shido Gokawa and the girl named Kurumi Tokisaki are getting closer and closer to the Tengu Square, and it seems that they will soon arrive in front of Miku.

——Seal Miku’s spiritual power.

"...Ku, how can I...let you succeed..."

Miku clenched her fists and spoke with a forced voice.

Mengyue looked at Meijiu silently, and after hearing Meijiu's words, she seemed to understand something.

The girl's words were not like the willfulness of a child clinging to her toys, but more like... the wailing of someone desperately clinging to the last straw.

However, after shaking her head for a while, Mijiu quickly recovered her momentum and stood up from the chair.

"Sister, what is your next itinerary?"

Meng Yue, who was originally massaging her, was not surprised at all. She asked in a calm and steady tone, like a steady butler.

"Get back on stage. Follow me! I want to start playing again!"

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

Thanks to Kurumi's luck, the road that could have been considered as difficult as climbing Mount Everest was easily overcome by Shidao.

She flew forward through a passage that was originally opened by Mengyue's electromagnetic cannon and led to the Tiangong stage. Kurumi said, "This way we can move faster, and Mr. Shidao, who is in trouble, is also very cute."

Although he felt that his dignity as a man was somewhat hurt, Shidou tried his best not to care about this little thing.

"So, Meng Yue's plan is to lurk beside Mei Jiu and learn information about her?"

"Well... Miss Mengyue said: 'If after the game, Mijiu does not surrender, it means that we are still lacking certain conditions for the attack.'"

Kuang San chuckled and repeated in the tone of Meng Yue,

"For this reason, once this situation occurs, we must take action to facilitate the second attack on Yui Miku."

Therefore, Mengyue asked Kurumi to accompany Shidao to find information about Miku's past.

On the other hand, Meng Yue pretends to be a sex control operative and pretends to be a captive to relax Meijiu's vigilance and get to know the real Meijiu up close.

"Meng Yue is really thinking too far ahead..."

After listening to this, Shidao couldn't help but express his deep admiration for Mengyue's careful consideration.

Indeed, after going to Miku's house to investigate for a while, with the help of Kurumi's angel, the bullet "Yod (Ten Bullet)", which can convey the target's memory, he learned about Yui Miku's past. He also vaguely understood why Miku didn't want to have her spiritual power sealed even if she violated the contract.

"Hmm... But Tohka-san's matter is really beyond our plan. In this case, Mr. Shidou can't concentrate on capturing Miss Miku. But please try your best to persuade Miss Miku not to hinder us from rescuing Tohka-san..."

"...Yeah, I'll try my best."

Thinking of Miku's extreme aversion to men, Shidou felt a little unsure, but he still said it encouragingly.

The simple conversation soon ended and the road had come to an end.

A strange atmosphere was also spreading on the central stage. Although the audience seats here were full of girls - after being invaded by Kurumi's shadow, they all squatted on the ground.

Then, on the deepest stage.

With the organ as the background, the girl, as dazzling as a star, stood there calmly.

Yuiya Miku, the spirit who manipulates music and sound, the master of this place.

Looking back, I saw the sisters Yoshino and Yamai in maid outfits, and Ryougi Yumezuki in butler clothes.

The two looked at each other, and Meng Yue expressed her words with her eyes...

(Why did you take off your women's clothes, stupid Shidou! 凸(艹皿艹))

Shidou told himself silently that he must have opened his eyes in the wrong way. Then, he looked away guiltily for some reason.

PS: Now that I have finished posting my drafts, I will resume my previous update speed, once a week, or even slower. I hope you can understand, after all, university is unexpectedly busy. . .

02 Meng Yue who seriously pitted his teammates

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

The cold air was penetrating, and the endless ice was combed into dazzling ice walls. The wind was gusting, and countless hurricanes were dancing everywhere, which could easily blow up an adult.

Dense electric lights flashed in the air, and the iron sand around it moved like pythons.

It is beyond the comprehension of normal people. In a small stage of Tiangong Square, such a myriad of phenomena is constantly flashing.

And this is exactly the obstacle that Gokawa Shido must face and overcome at this time.

"'Raphael' (Hurricane Rider) - 'El Nahash' (The Bound One)"

"'Raphael' (Hurricane Rider) - 'El Re'em' (The Runner)"

After the Yamai sisters made their declaration to their angels, the originally disorderly and scattered winds gathered at one point and attacked Shidou from the front.

“Kuah…!”

Shidou's body was swept away by an irresistible strong wind pressure and flew towards the wall of the venue.

However, it was gently caught by Kurumi who emerged from the shadows in the wall.

"Thank you, Kurumi... Can I call you that?"

"Uhuhu, please don't worry. Before we get eaten, please take care of your body, Mr. Shidou."
