Kamijou Touma of a Stand-in Messenger

She seemed to have forgotten the odds of this hedgehog being involved in strange events.

"...Are you on a mission?"

Tentatively, Dang Ma asked aloud.

"So what?"

"Where are the Flanders?"

Touma didn't answer, but answered with another question.

"... Frenda has already made contact with the target... I remember, the midsummer festival at Tokiwadai is over, right? Why are you still here?"

Tokiwadai is a girls' school, so it is almost impossible for any male to appear.

"Aren't you the same? Don't tell me you're still a junior high school student."

"...I used to go to school here, come back to my alma mater to have a look, isn't it okay?"

Seria Kumokawa, who was following Touma, recognized Atom Honkai's true identity at a glance, and just when she thought the boy would have a big fight with the other party, the two actually chatted like this.

what's the situation?You two still know each other?

On the other side, Juanqi's favorite was even more speechless. From the moment she saw the hedgehog's head, she knew that this mission would not succeed.

So she put her hands in her pockets and stood aside like a melon-eating crowd watching the show silently.

"Mimi Aiyu, this girl is your target this time, right?"

Without beating around the bush, Touma asked directly.

"That's right, a generous reward, and the target is such a young lady in an ivory tower, it's a reward for nothing."

With his arms folded, Mugino Shirley narrowed his eyes and looked at Touma.

"So, what kind of honey ant Aiyu is that girl you know again? But this is a girls' school, do you guys still have a habit of stalking?"

Frowning, Mugino Shirley's tone made it hard to tell what emotion she was in.

"She is my friend. I encountered an outrageous attack just yesterday. I was a little worried about her, so I stayed nearby all the time. I thought it would lead to the real mastermind behind the scenes, but it turned out to be you."

The general situation, when Ma already knew, Mai Ye should have also received the commission from the mastermind behind the scenes, asking the item team to recover the honey ants.

"Are you surprised? This is my job. You should have guessed that you might meet me. Moreover, you are also a member of Item. It stands to reason that you should listen to me now."

"...Did you forget our original agreement?"

Touma's words reminded Mai Ye of the time when they were behind the explosion-proof car and they made an agreement when they stuck together.

"So you're here to stop me?"

"If you insist on going your own way."

Looking at the boy's clenched fists, Mai Ye felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Obviously for him, I have changed so much, but this bastard raised his fist for another girl without hesitation.

Didn't he see his own efforts?

Women are very good at reconciling with themselves, but they are also very good at digging into dead ends. What's more, what the boy is challenging now is the way of survival of Mai Ye.

She had already given up a lot of things in order to be able to communicate with this young man. If she compromised with him now, and gave up without principle in the process of entrusting him, would she still be herself?

Only this point, she can no longer make concessions to the boy.

"Hahahaha, ahhahahaha!"

After laughing heartily for a while, Mugino Shenli seemed to have recovered the self who had just entered the dark side of the school.

"Give up if you say give up? Hedgehog head, it seems that there is no such treaty in our original agreement?"

A green floating cannon appeared beside Mugino, and Kinuhata and Takitsubo Rihou beside him finally realized something was wrong.

what happened?Why did it develop to this point?

They didn't know the past of the two, and they only saw Touma and Mugino's peaceful coexistence, but they didn't know the tension between the two before that.

"...Have you really thought about it?"

It is impossible for the other party not to know that she cannot defeat him, but still chose this path.

"You have denied me a lot of things. Now, even my last freedom, do you want to interfere?"

A green beam of light flashed past the boy's ear, and this shot was just a preview of the declaration of war.

"Kinhata, take Takitsubo to support Frenda!"

This is her attitude.

"Eh? Really, is it really going to be like this?"

"Go! Don't you obey my orders?"

On the one hand, he is his leader, and on the other hand, his savior, Juanqi's favorite is a little undecided.

But Takitsubo, who had always been a little dazed, grabbed her hand and took her away from here.

"Takitsubo, what are you doing?"

She didn't understand.

"Go and stop Frenda."

A simple sentence let Kinuhata know the other party's plan the most.

"... Mugino will kill us."

"Don't be afraid, Kamijou will protect us."

"..."

With a wry smile, Kinuhata also knew what to do next.

On the other side, Touma didn't look back at the two who left, but just said.

"Sister, please follow up, Takitsubo and Kinuhata will not attack you."

Kumokawa Seriya's brain was running at high speed, and he probably knew what was going on at the scene, so he sighed helplessly, turned and left.

Seeing Seria Kumokawa leave, Mugino attacks her.

But it was blocked by a right hand.

"Who is that woman? Your concubine?"

He didn't know who Kumokawa Seria was, but Mugino no longer planned to pay attention to his words in front of the boy.

Anyway, this bastard can't see his own changes.

"...Are you blaming me for disrupting your established life?"

The boy seemed to have noticed something.

"An established life? What established life do I still have now? What about LV5? I'm not a stronger ant. Originally, I just wanted to do anything freely with my inner thoughts, but because of the appearance of you bastard , I can no longer go back to the past!"

A few more attacks that did not pose any threat to Touma, even if Shenjing Toumo is not by his side, Touma can defeat the opponent with only his right hand and physical skills.

But Dang Ma knew that this time, it was completely different from the previous two times.

What I need to do is no longer to simply defeat the other party, but to completely pull her out of my own world.

"Is it really that difficult to give up the entrustment?"

When Ma knew what it meant to Mai Ye to voluntarily give up the commission.

It was not just a loss of reputation and a lot of funds, but also meant that the girl named Muye Shenli denied everything in the past.

He may be able to make Mai Ye understand other truths, but this is the only thing that makes her deny her past, and the boy is powerless.

In other words, simply preaching will not succeed.

"What the hell do you mean? Do you really think that I will give up this commission because of you?"

When Ma didn't answer, it was a default.

"Less, give me less self-righteousness!!"

The shattered light of death was like a dense barrage, shrouding the young man in shadow.

But it's all futile.

While erasing the opponent's attack with his right hand, Touma also approached Mugino.

"Of course I can't, but what about fifty?"

This somewhat strange name slowed down Mai Ye's attack.

"I can see that your feelings for that child are real, and a person who can care for a strange child like that cannot be a hopeless villain who can only struggle in the dark."

Slowly approaching each other, the boy said.

"Why can't you change your position? Even in the dark, you can protect the light, right? Besides, is the so-called good and evil really that important?"

His own attack could not hit the opponent at all, Mai Ye covered his ear with one hand.

"Giving up the entrustment, I know, for you, it is tantamount to denying yourself completely, but if you are denying the wrong self, why can't you take that step?"

Shooting indiscriminately, Mugino Shimori is no match for the boy in terms of language.

"To shut up!!"

"Why don't you listen? In fact, you also know that what I said is right? Or are you so reluctant just because the person who bowed your head is me?"

Today, he had to let Mai Ye face the reality.

"What I did was not to make you deny yourself, but to want you to be the person that [-] thinks you are!"

After a pause, Mai Ye looked at the boy who was less than three meters away from him.

"In that child's heart, she trusts you without reservation, and has never questioned you even once!"

Mugino had already stopped attacking, and looked up at the boy in front of him.

"Maybe you don't know, that kid secretly talked about you to me."

"..."

Every time he heard Wu Zero's name, Mugino felt as if his strength had been sucked out of his body, and he could no longer attack the boy.
