Chapter 1100 The girl’s sorrow

 The death of the demon clan was silent and hardly attracted anyone's attention. This was Duanmu Huai's purpose. Although he could also directly throw the melt bomb, considering that the relationship between demons and demons is relatively close, Azmodan might discover some problems, so he would rather spend some effort on his own - -In fact, it doesn't take much effort. After all, with Duanmu Huai's current ability, if the fear aura is fully activated, it will be enough to envelope a country as big as France.

In other words, Duanmuhuai can theoretically achieve the rare achievement of capturing Paris before France surrenders.

After annihilating the demon, Duanmuhuai set a fire to burn the mountain. Watching the raging fire spreading along the trees on the mountain, he nodded with satisfaction, then turned and left.

 What was left behind Duanmuhuai was a city of death filled with flames and corpses.

On the other hand, the students who returned to the royal city were not idle either. After getting Duanmu Huai's letter from Kumiko Huangzen, Mary announced that the trial court was temporarily closed. Everyone was asked to be ready for battle at any time, which somewhat surprised the students. Some people curiously asked Mary what Duanmu Huai said, but the latter just shook her head and said nothing.

 But no matter what, what should be done must still be done.

But even so, it doesn’t hinder everyone’s discussion.

"It's been several days since we returned from Bastion Fortress, why hasn't the teacher come back yet?"

Sitting at the table, eating dinner, Kumiko Huangzen looked at the night outside the window and said.

“Yes, the teacher is not here, so I am a little worried...”

 Kosaka Reina also nodded.

“Speaking of which, even Hina-sensei and the others were called back. Something big must be happening.”

“Could it be that you have found a way back?”

Hearing this, Naruse Mio, who was lying next to him, immediately raised his head, his eyes shining.

"It doesn't look like it. If that's the case, wouldn't it be better if the teacher just told us?"

 “Are you afraid that we will be too excited?”

 “It doesn’t look like classmate Mary.”

Kumiko Huangzen recalled Mary’s helpless expression when she read the letter and shook her head.

"And Mary, classmate, wants us to be ready for war at any time, right? If we are going back, we don't need to be so nervous at all."

"makes sense……"

As he spoke, Kosaka Rena lowered her head and stared at her hands.

 “Lina? What’s wrong?”

"No, I just feel...we are still students, but we are already used to fighting..."

While muttering to herself, Rena Kosaka's expression was also quite complicated, and Kumiko Huangmae didn't say much when she heard this, she just smiled bitterly and scratched her face.

 Actually, there was one thing that Huang Qian Kumiko did not tell her friends, that is, during the previous fortress defense battle, she finally killed someone.

The process was actually very simple. At that time, Kumiko Huangzen rushed to support other places. Just as she ran through the corner of the corridor, a Majin soldier suddenly rushed over from the opposite side and slashed Kumiko Huangzen directly. At that time, Huangmae Kumiko swung the sword reflexively, and when she came to her senses, the opponent's head had been chopped off.

Humiko Huangzen didn't even stop, and hurriedly continued running forward - after all, the opposite side was being attacked by an army of demons, and something would happen if she couldn't catch up!

 After everything was over, Kumiko Huangmae recalled it, but her heart was also very complicated. It's not that she feels complicated about killing people. On the contrary, Kumiko Huangzen found that she didn't seem to have any resistance or guilt about this kind of thing. I always thought that killing someone was a very serious matter, but maybe it was because I killed so many demons and demons in the Bastion Fortress that Kumiko Huangzen became numb to it.

Of course she would still feel sad about the death and injury of her own soldiers, but she would not dare to kill people because of this. This made Kumiko Huangmae feel a little complicated.

She now somewhat understands what Mary meant when she said, 'I didn't think about anything at that time.' The same goes for Kumiko Huangmae. It's different from comics or novels where you have to make a lot of mental preparations to convince yourself when a sword is about to come. At that time, Kumiko Huangzen saw the opponent stabbing at her with a sword, and her instinct was to cut off the opponent's head with one sword.

As for whether she could kill, whether she could kill, or whether she should kill, she completely forgot about it at that time.

Kosaka Rina is a barrier master, mainly for defense, so she will not attack, but as a brave Kumiko Huangzen, she has to fight on the front line...

 “What’s wrong? Kumiko?”

 “No, it’s nothing.”

Hearing her friend's question, Kumiko Huangmae shook her head, then she finished her dinner in three bites and stood up with the plate in hand.

 “Then I’ll go out for a walk.”

 After saying this, Kumiko Huangzen turned around and left.

After putting away the tableware, she came to the end of the first floor of the church, which was Mary's room. Looking at the closed door in front of her, Huangmae Kumiko took a deep breath, and then stretched out her hand to knock on the door. .

Soon, Mary’s voice as usual came from inside.

“Please come in.” “Sorry to disturb you.”

As he said that, Huangmae Kumiko opened the door and walked into Mary's room.

Mary's room feels very quaint, not particularly luxurious, but it has a very calm and elegant feel. At the moment, she is sitting at the table, drinking tea and writing something. Seeing Kumiko Huangzen walk in, Mary smiled at her and closed the notebook in her hand.

 “Classmate Huang Qian, what do you want from me?”

 “I’m actually a little embarrassed to say it…”

 At Mary's signal, Huangmae Kumiko sat across from her and said a little embarrassedly.

“Actually, I was a little worried. It was when I was in the fortress...”

Kumiko Huangqian rarely went to discuss things with others, but when it came to Mary, she was very relaxed. Mary, on the other hand, poured tea for Kumiko Huangzen and listened quietly to her troubles.

“In other words, what Huang Qian feels uneasy about is not that he killed someone, but that he felt uneasy about killing someone but didn’t feel anything, right?”

"Yes... Generally speaking, it shouldn't be like this. I watch TV series and novels, and they all say that after killing someone, you will have nightmares, and you will think of the situation again and again, and you will even become more and more haggard, and you will not think about food and drinks. , carrying a strong sense of guilt... To be honest, I was mentally prepared, but the result..."

Nothing happened, I ate deliciously and slept well.

This all made Kumiko Huangzen doubt that she was no longer human.

“Everyone’s ideas are different, and what is written in the book is just what most people think is common sense—of course, the facts may not be certain.”

"is that so?"

"That's right, it's like Huang Qian said that murderers will cry and repent... because this can be seen by the public. If it is a murderer who takes pleasure in killing people, he will be happy when talking about the tragic situation of the victim before death. , the TV station will not follow up the report, let alone be allowed to broadcast the program."

 “That seems to be the case...”

“I am not Huang Qian’s classmate, so I can’t say that I fully understand Huang Qian’s thoughts, but I can be sure that Huang Qian is a very strong person.”

　　"Really? I thought I was the cold and heartless kind..."

"No way. Huang Qian also said that you will feel sad when you see the soldiers who died in the fortress, right? If you are really that kind of indifferent and ruthless person, you will not take anyone's death seriously. . It’s normal to be sad about the death of your companions, but it’s not strange to not feel the death of your enemy.”

 “That’s it…”

Hearing Mary's answer, Kumiko Huangmae felt much more at ease, holding hot tea in her hand.

“And I don’t think you need to worry, Mr. Huang Qian, even if something happens, Mr. Duanmu will definitely help you.”

 “Well, I know that teachers are very trustworthy.”

Huang Qian Kumiko nodded. Although Duanmu Huai looks fierce, the sense of security he brings to people that "if the sky falls, I will hold it up" is why he can now sit here and drink tea with Mary. Main reason to chat. After all, no matter what happens, the teacher will definitely help them solve it.

 Just like before, she was surrounded by so many demons, but the teacher was able to get rid of it in a few clicks... Recalling the scene at that time, Kumiko Huangmae couldn't help but feel a little lost.

 “Classmate Huang Qian?”

 “Huh? Ah...”

 Marie's voice came again, causing Kumiko Huangmae to come back to her senses. She hurriedly put down her tea cup and stood up.

 “Thank you, sorry to bother you.”

"You're welcome."

 After saying this, Kumiko Huangmae turned around and left Mary's room. Then she closed the door, leaned against the door panel, and let out a long breath.

Woo... When I recall the way the teacher fell from the sky before, I feel my heart beating so fast.

This should not be out of excitement or fear. On the contrary, I always felt that the teacher at that time was really super handsome and looked like a devil, but Kumiko Komae was not afraid at all at that time. Instead, she felt that the teacher at that time was just like the prince charming who saved the princess - although he He doesn't look that handsome, and he doesn't ride a white horse. He looks more like the villain in a fairy tale, the Dark Knight.

Could it be that……

 “No, no, no, no, no.”

Thinking of this, Huang Qian Kumiko's face suddenly turned red and she hurriedly shook her head.

 I'm not Rina, how could it be possible?

 Putting the inexplicable thought in her mind to the back of her mind, Huangmae Kumiko turned around and walked towards the other side of the corridor.
