Extra Chapter 314.6 What Saya is good at
The crystal flowers sway on their own like pendants.

On the chain hanging with crystal flowers, the miniature carvings of girls on the lock rings are very conspicuous.

Tamaki Yumiko saw: In the blink of an eye, another golden chain appeared out of thin air between Yukinoshita Saya and Ijuin Ayano.The middle end of the chain drooped slightly and swayed in the wind, as if it was not heavy. One end of the chain was buried in Saya's heart, and the other end was connected to the crystal flower pendant hanging from Ayano's wrist.

At this moment, the golden chain extending from that pendant has become three strands.

The first strand is the one that wraps around Ijuin Ayano's wrist and hangs the pendant itself.

The second strand is the one connected to Yukinoshita Saya's heart.

And the third share——

Yumiko Tamaki shook her body, lowered her head unconsciously, and looked at her chest.

——The same golden chain appeared there, sinking into her heart.

...So, this time, Ijuin Ayano is serious?She really activated her witch power and launched a serious... attack on the two of them?
He stared at the chain on his chest that was close at hand, and stared at the reliefs of young girls on the chain ring.Tamaki Yumiko came up with this idea.

But the next moment, the thought itself was overwritten.

——Being sung.

The girl on the lock ring looked at her with smiling faces, and at the same time opened her mouth and sang: "Close a lock, open a lock..."

For a moment, Tamaki Yumiko felt that the singing voice was not sung into her ears and brain, but followed the chain directly into her heart.

The song echoed and teased, and in the dark bottom of the psychological abyss, which was so deep that no light could shine in... "Crack, click, click" seemed to be the sound of countless unlockings.

Countless thoughts grew like sprouts.

In the blink of an eye, the strongest thought emerged from behind the curtain and came to the foreground.

Tamaki Yumiko turned her head and ignored the other two people present. She just turned around and walked stiffly to the edge of the platform.

...I want to "walk in", I want to just take a step forward and step into the sky.She can... fly in the rain.

Yumiko Tamaki stared at the gray rain curtain outside, and the thought of "flying" was like Jack's huge magic vine, which grew into a towering tree that pierced into the sky in the spiritual world.

At the same time, thoughts such as "can't fly", "will fall to death", and "don't want to die" are also there...but they are not the ones making the decision.

The final choice was "Fly".

She clearly felt what had happened to her—a wrong lock had been opened.

That's how people are.At every moment, there are countless thoughts in the mind...or countless "selves" fighting with each other.

But in the end, only the "most suitable" self can become the winner and gain control of the body.

And the other selves who think in the "inappropriate" way of thinking will be locked in the lowest level of the subconscious.

Human thoughts are like countless locks, but only one can be opened at the same time.The rest can only make noises and struggle under the sea...

——But now, the lock that locked the idea of ​​"wanting to fly" has been unlocked by mistake.

By the witch power of Ijuin Ayano.

Yumiko Tamaki walked to the edge of the platform.

She looked down and once again saw the blood-red human figure covered in rain on the ground below.

...It’s that place, jump out and fly like a feather in the wind.Close your eyes, feel the wind, feel the air for a long time, feel the gravity that can no longer restrain her, and gently fall to that position - Tamaki Yumiko thought this way.

There are also several sensory-rich memory fragments of "suspended" in the air that seem real or fake, flashing between thoughts.

Only the thought of "I will die there" only popped up and then subsided.

The next moment, her body really flew into the air.

——But backwards.

Tamaki Yumiko's thoughts were interrupted for a moment, and then she realized that she was retreating into the air, away from the rain curtain outside.

Just now, a person suddenly appeared beside her.The man first pulled her hard, pulling her back from the last step that was about to jump out, then stretched out his arms to wrap her around her waist, and stepped back.

At this moment, the two of them were so close to each other, retreating.

Looking at the black hair that suddenly flew in front of her eyes, Tamaki Yumiko realized that it was Yukinoshita Saya who pulled her back.

The flying black hair fell down, revealing Yukinoshita Saya's side face looking intently forward.

For a moment, Tamaki Yumiko was a little moved again, feeling that he looked like a handsome prince...

But Yukinoshita Saya was not gentle to the end.After running out several times with Tamaki Yumiko in hand, and a safe enough distance from the edge of the platform where she could jump out, she stopped and at the same time pushed Tamaki Yumiko to the ground roughly.

Then, she gave Yumiko Tamaki a cold look as she fell to the ground.

——"锵"

Tamaki Yumiko only felt a flash in front of her eyes, and at the same time heard a crisp cracking sound.

She lowered her head and stared blankly at her chest - the invisible chains had been chopped into pieces, and only some locks hanging from her heart were weakly swinging.

Tamaki Yumiko trembled violently. The "flying" towering trees disappeared, and "normal" thinking returned instantly.

Yukinoshita Saya didn't waste any time.After just one glance at Tamaki Yumiko, she turned around and pounced on Ijuin Ayano.

——"嗵", "嗵嗵",
There were several heavy crashes from behind, and then the screams and screams of Ijuin Ayano.

Yumiko Tamaki suddenly woke up, quickly turned towards the source of the sound, got up on her hands and knees and shouted at the same time: "Saya, wait!!"

In her field of vision, Ijuin Ayano was stumbling into the corner of the room, pressing her shoulders with a painful expression and unable to get up.

However, Yukinoshita Saya had already walked in front of her with steady steps. At the same time, she raised her right arm high and raised the pseudo-spiritual flower in the shape of a "hilt" in her hand.

The golden chain was still firmly connected between the two.But it didn't seem to have any impact on Yukinoshita Saya.

Ijuin Ayano finally raised her head.Her eyes obviously stayed on the chain that was still connected for a moment, and then she slowly raised her head and looked at Yukinoshita Saya, with a fearful expression as if looking at an evil ghost, and her voice was full of confusion: "You woman ——The only thought in your mind is to kill people!!!"

"No." Yukinoshita Saya said calmly, looking down at Ijuin Ayano, "——It's just that 'killing the unnecessary me' is the only thing I'm good at."

At the same time as the voice fell, Yukinoshita Saya waved the handle of the knife in her hand.

Silver light was splashed out along the arc of the sword.

It was as if there was an extremely beautiful but always hidden knife that revealed its figure at that moment.

Tamaki Yumiko also rushed forward with all her strength - to stop Saya.

Yukinoshita Saya's witch power actually doesn't require her to swing her arms like a real sword... just like she just looked at it and chopped the chain on Yumiko's chest.

Therefore, the ritualized action of raising the hilt of the knife probably means that she has really decided to kill someone.

"Stop! Saya!!" Tamaki Yumiko screamed, reaching out to grab Yukinoshita Saya.

At the moment when the arc was about to hit Ijuin Ayano's head, she successfully grabbed Saya's clothes.Yukinoshita Saya's posture couldn't help but tilted, and the movements of her right hand were also deformed.

So amidst Ijuin Ayano's screams, that position began to move, and the silver sword light deteriorated from a perfect arc to an irregular line, and then moved towards the top of her head.

—but it's not over yet.

Before Tamaki Yumiko had time to breathe, she heard some kind of terrible crunching sound coming from above.

——Ijuin Ayano also held her breath and looked up with fear.

So Tamaki Yumiko rushed over again, pulled Ijuin Ayano up from where she was with all her strength, and then continued to pull her to fall backwards.

The huge black shadow finally fell from above and slammed into the position where Ijuin Ayano had just been.

Yukinoshita Saya's knife cut off a corner of the one-meter-square bell case of the big brass clock above her head.

Yumiko Tamaki finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then she had time to realize that she was not injured.

She should have fallen backwards on the cold and hard ground, but it seemed that she was blocked by someone's body halfway. She was lying in that person's arms at the moment... She raised her head slightly and saw Yukinoshita Saya's indifference again. s face.

...This is the first time I should thank you.So Tamaki Yumiko sighed in her heart again.

"Tamaki, don't you need to kill Ijuin-san?" Yukinoshita Saya slowly showed a slightly confused expression, looking down at Tamaki Yumiko and asked.

This question reminded Tamaki Yumiko that she still had one important thing to confirm.

"Wait a minute, let's ask clearly first." Tamaki Yumiko said, quickly pushing the other girl she was holding in her arms farther away so that she could look into her eyes.

——Ijuin Ayano, who had survived the catastrophe, was pale and shivering, holding Yumiko Tamaki's skirt tightly without giving up even if she was pushed away, like some kind of stressed little animal.

Seeing her in this state, Yumiko Tamaki shook her head, and then - slapped Ijuin Ayano hard on the face.

While she was dazed for a moment, Tamaki Yumiko grabbed her hands and said sternly: "Ijuin-san, I want to ask you a very important question. Please answer me honestly!"

Tamaki Yumiko stared into Ijuin Ayano's eyes.

...Because she thought of this possibility, her tone became chilly unconsciously: "——Did you do the death of Oroku Aoi and Miss Orihara? Did you use the power of a witch to control them from falling from the building?"
