This is not the date I wanted.

"Hurry, let go of onee-sama."

"Hmm...what should I do next..."

"Meng Yue-san... stop hitting me..."

"…Why do I feel like I'm the villain…"

Meng Yue, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face, pressed his brows and smiled bitterly.

Well, although I have been analyzing the principle of Miku's voice during the period of lurking, it seems that I still cannot remove Miku's control area... Forget it, if I completely defeat her, Miku might be completely desperate, which is actually a bad thing.

"Miku, let's go!"

Meng Yue waved her hand in front of the frightened Meijiu and said helplessly.

"Eh?"

Mijiu asked in a questioning tone, not quite reacting.

"Do you still need to ask? Come with me to find Shidou and save Tohka."

"Huh? Are you kidding me? Why do I have to help that disgusting creature!?"

Miku shouted almost reflexively.

"going or not?"

"Don't go!"

It was as if her favorability towards Meng Yue had suddenly dropped to the lowest point, and Meijiu was almost extremely repulsed by Meng Yue's words.

"Ha...forcing me to use my special trick...I feel like I've gone in circles. As a time traveler, I'm such a failure...in every sense of the word."

Holding his head in distress, Meng Yue muttered to himself in a low voice, then turned his angel towards Meijiu and said harshly, "Stop talking nonsense! The loser has no choice but to obey. If you dare to disobey, I will fire an electromagnetic cannon... ah, sorry, I accidentally fired it!"

"I know! I'll go help! I'll go help right away!"

Mijiu, who felt the yellow ray brushing past her ear just now, said she would never believe it was an accident.

PS: I would like to recommend an article written by a friend. It is a post on Tieba and is quite good. I have just come to SF to try it out and I would like to recommend it to you.

Scarlet Fantasy Rondo tells the story of a hapless hedgehog who, in the endless reincarnation, made a bet with a goddess and was turned into a girl... and ran to Scarlet Bullet. What will happen? Who knows...

06 Everything is ready, the capture of Meijiu is just around the corner... probably →_→

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

"Hey, hey! Can you please stop for a moment? I'm already tired of flying."

In the air, Yui Miku spoke to Meng Yue in her sweet voice with tearful eyes.

Feeling the bewitching voice mixed with spiritual power ringing in her ears, Meng Yue consciously used the "Sage of Dawn" to emit spiritual power of the opposite wavelength to offset it, and said calmly.

"You're a decent liar, aren't you, Miku? You were the one who consumed the least in the battle just now, and it was Yamai who drove you to fly. What are you complaining about? Just keep moving forward. Otherwise..."

As she spoke, Meng Yue shook the Dawn Sage in her hand, which was flashing blue and white electric light, as if in demonstration.

When she thought that Mengyue might do something like "Oops, I accidentally fired it, sorry~", Miku's eyes twitched a little, but she still led Yamai and the others forward obediently and dissatisfiedly.

"Hey, Mengyue, big sister is already feeling very tired. What's the harm in taking a short rest?"

"Protest. It's okay to take a short break, but it would be bad if you exhaust your sister."

"That's what I mean. It's not like I care about giving Miku-chan some time to rest~ Mengyue-chan."

"R-Rest for a while..."

However, the elves who were still under the control of Meijiu were quite dissatisfied with this. They stopped flying and spoke to Mengyue to speak up for Meijiu.

"I'm talking about you..."

Seeing her best friend who used to be with her acting like this, Meng Yue showed a helpless look on her face and sighed as if she had given up.

"Then you can take a rest here for a while, just to recover the spiritual energy you have consumed. But I have to go first, remember to follow me later."

However, Meijiu was unhappy when she got Mengyue's nod.

Why don't you listen to my request but listen to others'! ? ?

"Because they are my friends, and you...are not."

As if she had guessed what Miku was thinking, Meng Yue replied calmly, no longer relying on Yabui's wind power. Lightning surged under her feet, and after a few leaps, she disappeared into the night.

These words deeply pierced Miku's heart.

"Suggestion, if you want to take a break, Xixian just happened to see a nice open-air cafe."

"……Set off."

"Eh? But onee-sama... aren't you tired..."

Yakushi said with some doubt.

"It's okay, I'm much better now." After responding to Yejushi with a forced smile, he mobilized the spiritual power in his body and chased in the direction of Mengyue.

With the help of the Yamai sisters who controlled the wind, Meijiu's movement speed was obviously much faster than Mengyue. Soon, Meijiu saw Mengyue's figure in the dark night.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to rest?"

Noticing the person chasing after her, Meng Yue said with a meaningful smile.

"unnecessary!"

Miku said with a cold expression.

"Really..." Meng Yue shrugged slightly and said, "That's perfect. After all, I don't have that much free time to accompany the young lady's willfulness. Yamai, excuse me."

"Kuku, leave it to me. With the strength of me and Xixian, adding one more person is just like adding a feather."

"Nod, there is absolutely no problem at this level."

Without Mijiu's order, Yamai, who already had a good relationship with Mengyue, readily controlled the strong wind and carried Mengyue away.

Meijiu didn't say another word, but just followed Mengyue silently.

That's right, Yuiya Miku herself knows very well that she is just being willful.

Although he knew it was impossible, he was like a child who refused to admit defeat. He kept competing and trying to use his "singing" to make Liangyi Mengyue his own.

But in return, all he got were barbed words. The originally casual and humorous butler Meng Yue did not belong to him from the beginning.

——The bond between companions is stronger than the shackles created by one's own "singing".

Mengyue is constantly using thorny words to emphasize what Gokawa Shidao wants to convey to her, which is also the fact that she has always been unwilling to admit.

"Liang Yi Meng Yue, why would you help Gokawa Shidao?"

With some doubts and confusion, Meijiu cast out the doubts in her mind.

In fact, from the perspective of an opponent, Mijiu understands better the hard work that Mengyue has done.

At the Ten'ou Festival, despite the absolutely unfavorable situation where Miku used all kinds of illegal means, he successfully turned the tables and won the duel with Miku in a fair and square manner.

He escaped from his control area, lurked beside him to lower his guard, and continued to help Shidao in secret.

But in fact, the pressure that needs to be endured is self-evident.

From the back of the girl in the black windbreaker, one could vaguely see that she was tired, but there was no hesitation in her steps.

"That Gokawa Shidou, he was willing to risk his life to save Tohka, so he likes Tohka, right? Then why do you choose to continue to support him? What is Gokawa Shidou to you?"

Meng Yue raised her eyebrows slightly to Miku's question, and then chuckled and said, "Tohka is also an important friend of mine. Saving a friend is a natural thing to do. As for Shidou... he is an important family member who gave me a place to stay."

Meng Yue showed a gentle smile that Mei Jiu had never seen before, "Shouldn't family members rely on each other?"

"I envy you so much... the bond between you two is so strong and so dazzling."

Hearing Mengyue's proud expression, Miku murmured.

"If you really want to do this, we won't have any objections to you joining us... In fact, this was our goal from the beginning."

"Impossible!" Mijiu shook her head, a fragile expression on her face, and said, "Unlike you, I don't have your strong strength and heart, nor do I have the awareness to work hard for others to this extent... and I don't have the courage to accept others and believe in others."

"Don't you have a singing voice? Everyone has their own strengths. There's no need to force yourself to compete with others. You actually think that the bond between humans needs some kind of rope to maintain it. Use your singing voice to make us accept you."

"But wasn't my singing voice denied by Meng Yue?"

"Forehead……"

Then, there was another silence.

"Mengyue, you know... my past."

The answer to this question actually came out when Mengyue called out "Yaotai Tsukino", a stage name that she had almost forgotten. But Miku wanted Mengyue to say it herself.

"If you mean that there are cases where very promising and popular new stars have been slandered with a bunch of unfounded scandals and ruined their reputations because they refused to follow the unspoken rules, there are a lot of such cases in the history of the entertainment industry."

Meng Yue sighed and said calmly, "If you want to hear words of comfort, go talk to Shidao. Although both the producers who want to take advantage of you and the fans who betray their idols are despicable, and the victims are completely innocent, I'm sorry that I won't sympathize with you. The world is cruel, and there are many people who have suffered worse than you. It's not that God doesn't favor you, but that he doesn't have time to care about you."

"That's true... but... apart from singing... I have nothing..."

Hearing Mengyue's words, Meijiu, who should have been furious, said softly with a slightly sad smile.

"But your singing voice is really beautiful. I have to admit that." Meng Yue fiddled with her brown hair with her fingers. After a moment of silence, she slowly spoke, "If you didn't sing with this impure voice, but sang with your real voice, I would become your fan and listen to you until the end no matter what happened... I wouldn't hate you so much."

"...Meng Yue."

Hearing Mengyue's answer, Meijiu covered her mouth with her hands, tears of emotion flowing from the corners of her eyes.

In response, Meng Yue showed an extremely bright smile.

"Of course, this only works if you sing better than me. Anyway, Mijiu, you lost the singing competition!"

At that moment, time seemed to freeze.

(Oh, did I accidentally say something unnecessary just now? Could it be that! Because of my possessiveness towards Shiori, I had a hostile mentality towards Miku and I unconsciously lost my composure and said the lines that came to my mind without thinking?! Impossible! Impossible! Impossible! I am always known for my calmness and rationality, but I actually made such a mistake!?)

Meng Yue, who had overturned countless coffee tables in his spiritual world, looked at the girl in front of him with a twitching eye.

Mijiu's originally touched expression froze, her body kept shaking, and tears of pent-up frustration began to fill her eyes.

“Eh? Miss Miku, something bad must have attached itself to me just now (Author: “(Guilty)…”), believe me, what I said just now was definitely not a mockery, wait a minute! Calm down. Σ( ° △ °|||)︴”

"——As expected, humans are the most annoying!"

--Snapped!

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

At this time, in the night that has passed midnight, the faint moonlight illuminates the silent streets, giving people an eerie silence.

It was a dark and windy night, a time for murder and arson... Okay, I admit that I went astray, so don't hit me.

"Tohka... is she here?"

Shidou looked around and asked in a low voice.

This is a corner of the office street in Jingshan City, Dongfang, Tiangong City. Due to the time, only a few high-rise buildings have lights on, giving people a strange sense of pressure.

"Well, all of these are DEM-related facilities. The office building, experimental facilities, and offices are all here. If Miss Tohka was captured by DEM, it would make sense for her to be held here."

Kuang San looked at the scenery in front of her and smiled faintly.

“All of them…”

Looking at the countless tall buildings in front of him, Shidao realized again how difficult it would be for him to face. He couldn't help swallowing, holding his chest, and taking a deep breath.

Although he couldn't wait to rescue Tohka from the clutches of DEM, a reckless rush would never solve the problem. The only way to find a breakthrough was to stay calm.

This is the style that Mengyue always sticks to.

Then, before that, Shidao also had a question he had to ask Mengyue.

"Mengyue, what is that slap mark on your face?"

"It's left behind when I swatted the mosquitoes. Don't worry about it."

Meng Yue said without changing her expression.

"Eh? But the size of that palm print is slightly different from yours..."

"Your illusion."

"..."

Seeing that Mengyue had no intention of answering, Shidou did not want to pursue the matter. He turned around and bowed solemnly to Yui Miku to express his gratitude.
