This is not the date I wanted.

"Ha ha……"

After laughing twice, Shidao stood up, gripped the sword tightly in his hand, and continued moving forward with still unsteady steps.

"Hey, you're so badly injured, and you still want to... talk nonsense, you're healed! Why?"

Looking at Shidao's abdomen which had no marks except for a hole, Miku cried out in surprise.

Clearly, just a few seconds ago, there was a wound there that was fatal even to an elf.

"Well... a special physique, and... I'm not alone!"

Shidou looked at the dark blue arm guard on his right hand, which was shining with an inconspicuous light, and a smile appeared on his face.

(Host's wound repair completed! Spiritual power management completed... Entering standby mode.)

This arm guard appeared at the same time that Aosha-Kou was summoned. If Aosha-Kou was responding to his wish, then this arm guard was helping Shidao realize his wish in the form he most desired.

The spiritual power released by Aosakou is controlled to defeat the enemy and ensure that his life is not endangered. When injured, Kotori's healing flame is guided to the wound for treatment immediately without any extra waste.

The original healing time was greatly shortened, and even the spiritual energy consumed was much less than before. Before Shidou even felt the burning sensation of the flame, the wound healed.

Even though it still hurt like hell when I got hit. -_-||

{Well, it's something like a talisman.]

Although it is very different from the original form, Shidao knows that this is the angel of Mengyue - the Sage of Dawn.

ps: Well, actually, that is the part that fixes the arm of the Dawn Sage. You will know it if you compare it with the clamp-type turret in the picture of the Dawn Sage.

10 Miku's determination

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

These few days can be said to be the most unhappy time that Yuiya Miku has ever had in the past few years.

Not only did she deceive her feelings with a man dressed as a woman, but she also lost for the first time in a singing competition that she had bet on. Just when she successfully captured the hearts of many elf ladies with her singing and was enjoying her harem time, she learned that the elf she liked the most was only pretending to be controlled and was threatened with the worst means. She was forced to come to this strange and gloomy place and move forward with the existence she hated the most - the male Gokawa Shido.

If she were to write her resentment on paper, Miss Mijiu felt that she would have to consider cutting down a forest to make paper.

Why? Must I be in this place?

Yui Miku was wondering in her heart.

Shouldn't I be enjoying an elegant afternoon tea time with a cute girl under the bright afternoon sunshine, sipping black tea, or on a lively stage, enjoying the cheers of female fans and feeling the superiority brought by my absolute popularity and strength?

Elegant, beautiful, absolute, she can be as willful as she wants, as if everyone is revolving around Miku. This is the world of Youxiao Miku.

Why do I have to accompany Gokawa Shido to save Tohka?

The threat from Liang Yi Meng Yue. Basically, Mi Jiu could answer this without even thinking about it.

However, there was another reason in Mijiu's heart that pushed her to agree...

"Meijiu! There's another one coming from the front!"

Shidou's voice rang out beside her ear, causing Miku's consciousness to return to reality.

"Shoot! Don't let any one go."

Not long after we walked along the climbing path, several magicians wearing striped clothes appeared in front of us.

The magicians' equipment this time was obviously better than the one Shidou had defeated just now, with close combat weapons and heavy machine guns with strong rapid-fire capabilities. Perhaps because they had confirmed the danger of Shidou and Miku, the magicians' faces were filled with tension.

"Tsk! How many times have I told you! Don't talk to me!"

It's unclear whether it was because her thoughts were interrupted or because of the conversation itself, but Miku's charming voice was filled with obvious anger.

"Shoot! Don't let any one go!"

The magician who seemed to be the captain gave an order, and then multiple guns fired several bullets in the direction of Miku.

However, Miku had no intention of avoiding it.

"Wow!!"

Just like before, the sound full of mass deflected the incoming bullets, and the magi were blown away as easily as feathers, falling unconscious.

"Humph, you think this kind of attack can hurt me? You are so naive."

But, at this moment, two magicians rushed out from the back of the corridor, and pointed their guns at Miku's back in a blind spot.

"Miku!"

Following the shout, Shidou raised his hands and chopped down "Aosha-Kou". The trajectory of the sword body converged into a blade, knocking the magician and the random field away.

"you……"

"Mijiu, I know you hate me, but the opponent seems to be very good at using tactics of inducing sneak attacks, so let's cooperate in the battle."

Shidou forced a not-so-handsome smile on his face and spoke slowly. The tone that seemed to say "I'll leave my back to you" made Miku feel a little bit at a loss and very angry.

"... Humph, no need! Such a small character. I am enough on my own."

“Haha… Kua——”

Shidou could only laugh helplessly at Miku's words. Then, all of a sudden, Shidou knelt down on the ground in front of Miku with a look of pain on his face.

"Hey! What happened to you all of a sudden?!"

"Ah... It's okay. Although Meng Yue has helped with the treatment to a near-ideal level, the pain still needs to be borne by yourself."

With a difficult whisper, blue flames burned on Shidao's body. In less than a moment, Shidao stood up intact and continued to move forward without hesitation.

No, it was impossible to be intact. Miku could clearly see that Shidao's breathing began to become hasty, and his fatigue was obvious. Sweat continued to bead on his forehead. Although physical injuries can be healed by the power of spirits, mental exhaustion cannot be compensated.

Miku didn't understand what kind of power Gokawa Shido was using. However, with a mere human body, the superhuman power he exerted would definitely become a huge burden. Although these burdens were healed by another force, the pain he had to endure was definitely comparable to going through the eighteen levels of hell.

Is it really like what they said, in his eyes, is Tohka really worth his life?

"…Do you want to stop for a while? You don't look very well."

As if hearing some strange sound, Shidou turned to look at Miku with an incredible expression.

"What?! Is it weird for me to say something like that? No! It must be weird! Something must have gone wrong with me just now, that's why I said something like that on purpose!"

Before Shidou could finish his words, Miku held her head and groaned in distress.

"Well...thanks. But compared to the danger Tohka is in, this little pain is nothing. Besides, everyone outside is buying time for me. I don't have the time or the power to stop."

"...Humph! You can show off as much as you want."

Hearing Shidou's refusal, Miku seemed very dissatisfied and walked in front, turning her head away without saying a word.

Shidou followed behind with a wry smile.

In the subsequent battle, many magicians appeared one after another to block the way of Shidao and others. Although most of the troops had been invested in the riot caused by Kurumi outside, the number of magicians in the building was still so large that Shidao felt dizzy.

Waving the angel in his hand, spiritual power overflowed from the sword's edge to form a slashing attack, breaking through the enemy's random field and hitting the opponent, causing them to fall to the ground and lose consciousness.

If it weren't for the order from above, I'm afraid the enemy wouldn't be willing to launch a head-on confrontation with such a terrifying lineup of an elf and a human with elf power. Perhaps sensing Shidao's mood, the "Dawn Sage" on his wrist restrained the "Slayer" in his hand to prevent it from releasing too much power.

At the same time, Miku's help also relieved Shidao's pressure to a certain extent. To be honest, if there was no such tempting voice, he would definitely encounter a lot of troubles, and might even be caught by the magicians.

"I've already told you that I'm not helping you. I'm just clearing the eyesore that's preventing me from adding Tohka-san to my collection."

"Hi hi~"

Maybe it’s just like Meng Yue said, now Mijiu is just a new type of tsundere.

"Are you thinking bad things about me in your mind?"

Miku suddenly turned around and stared at Shidou with her big silver eyes.

"No la……"

Even though Shidou said this, he still looked away feeling a little guilty.

"Humph!"

Mijiu turned away unhappily.

A little bit, even if it was only a little bit, perhaps Miku herself didn't realize that her rejection of Shidou had decreased a little.

It seemed that at a time that she was not aware of, during the time that she came into contact with Mengyue, Mijiu had changed.

"Na..."

"kindness?"

Meijiu's conversation seemed a little unnatural, as if she hadn't thought clearly about what she was going to say before she spoke. After hesitating for a long time, she slowly opened her mouth to speak.

"…Why did Meng Yue risk her life to help you? And why did you risk your life to save Tohka without hesitation?"

Humans are selfish, ugly, and disgusting. Solid bonds can be easily broken with a certain degree of stimulation and temptation. Mijiu's past seemed to make her understand this deeply.

However, Mengyue and Shidao changed Miku's perception.

I can give everything for the ones I cherish; I can risk my life for the people who are important to me.

Mijiu witnessed it with her own eyes, curious and eager.

What kind of bond can produce such a strong relationship?

"Well... how should I put it?" Shidao hesitated for a while before answering hesitantly, "According to Meng Yue... because we are family."

"family?"

"Well, because of family, when I feel in trouble, I will naturally want to rely on each other. When the other party encounters difficulties, I will also lend a hand. There is no need for any reason... If you insist on a reason." Shidao said in a slow tone, "Because, Mengyue and I don't want to lose our family."

"Family?" Meijiu muttered softly, then sighed, "You and Mengyue really said the same thing."

"Eh? Meng Yue said that too?"

Just then, when the two of them crossed a staircase and reached a new floor, a magician appeared in front of them. He was a tall man. He was obviously different from the magicians so far. In his hands were giant Gatling guns that were obviously not for indoor combat.

"Stop! I've allowed you to do whatever you want, but it ends here! I, Executive Minister Mathers, have appointed the person guarding this building, Andreu Cassi Dunstan Francis Barbirolli—"

"Sit down! Stop bothering me."

The steel pipes of the organ emerged from the ground, and "Pojun Songstress" - Meijiu, the most powerful angel possessed by the elves, emitted a deafening low hum as her master shouted.

Then the next moment, the magician named Anderson so-and-so sat on the ground like a possessed person, looking at Mijiu with pitiful eyes. Then Mijiu played a place play with him.

Family...can I have this kind of relationship?

(Don't force yourself to compete with others. You actually think that human bonds need some kind of rope to maintain them. Just use your singing to make us accept you.)

"Shidou...what do you think of my singing?"

For the first time, Miku formally called Shidou by his name. Shidou widened his eyes in surprise, but after sensing the seriousness in Miku's eyes, he pondered for a moment and spoke out his true thoughts.

"Honestly, although I don't like what you did, I have to admit that your singing is very moving, to the point where people can't forget it once they hear it. But I personally hope that you can give up that kind of deceptive singing voice and sing with your real voice."

"..."

"Kyousan and I once found your old album of 'Yao Waiting Tsukino' in your room... I feel very sorry for illegally invading your room! But really, I listened to a song, even though it was only one song, but I listened to it with all my heart and soul... Although I don't know how to put it, anyway, it was very handsome!"

At this point, Shidou seemed to understand something. He shouted involuntarily:

"At that moment, I decided to become your fan. Not the you with the 'voice'! But the you with the real singing voice."

"Well……!"

At that moment, Miku's face showed an expression of disbelief, and her body trembled uncontrollably, as if she wanted to confirm what it was, and said.

"So...if I were in danger like Tohka-san, would you risk your life to save me?"

"of course!"

Miku felt that her tears were accumulating in her eyes, as if they would burst out at any moment, so she had to turn her head and wipe away her tears from a perspective that Shidou could not see.

"Stupid, stupid! You must be saying it casually if you say it so straightforwardly. I don't believe it!"

"Eh? Wait, I really mean it. I'm not lying!"

"Humph, even if what you said is true, that person is definitely not me. Anyway, you will definitely do the same as Mengyue next, and add a premise that I must sing better than Mengyue, right? After all, I lost the singing competition with Mengyue!"

Miku almost uttered the last few words with gritted teeth.

(Oh my god! Mengyue, what did you say∑(°△°|||)!)

(Meng Yue: "…It's not me who is wrong, it's the world. →_→")

"So... next time, I will definitely win back..."

Finally, with her back to Shidou, Miku swore secretly with an extremely firm tone.
