Knight Arena, the opening match between the fifth generation and Shoichi

After sighing slightly, Qiu Shanlian reluctantly said the two methods he thought of.

"I personally suggest you choose the first option. After all, I know that you are all reluctant to let the mirror monster eat people."

"Furthermore, even if you put aside the point of 'conscience', one that devours humans will sooner or later be found to be abnormal. I don't think that everyone is a fool. If you keep doing such bad things, sooner or later someone will be found to be the murderer." "

Seeing the sad faces of the three of them, Shinji Kido suddenly thought of something.

"Well, there's no need for you three to look so gloomy. I have the best of both worlds."

?

? ?

???

In an instant, the three of them looked at Shinji Kido at the same time.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier!"*3

"You didn't even ask... I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

Seeing that the expressions of the three people gradually became gloomy, Shinji Kido immediately took out the energy pot he obtained from the knight's ring.

"This is one of the rewards I got after defeating Mr. Hibiki this time. This energy pot stores the endless energy that mirror world monsters like most. I can summon this energy pot at any time to feed those mirror monsters."

"Of course, the energy in it can only be used to feed mirror monsters, but I think the quality of the things provided by the Knight Arena should still be guaranteed, right?"

After saying this carefully, the other three people simultaneously turned their attention to the energy pot.

His words were unfounded, Shinji Kido called out Wushuang Dragon on the spot and opened the energy pot directly in front of Wushuang Dragon.

As the energy pot was opened, a huge energy ball flew towards Wushuang Dragon.

After swallowing the ball of light, Wushuang Dragon suddenly let out a roar of great joy.

"Okay, let's go back to the Mirror World."

After dismissing the Wushuang Dragon, Shinji Kido looked at the stunned three people.

"The specific situation is probably like this. When I went back to the past and stayed with Sudou Masashi, I used this energy pot to feed the Wushuang Dragon several times."

"Three times in ten days, about once every three or four days on average. And judging from the emotional feedback of the Wushuang Dragon, if the energy is not controlled, it may be stretched to death."

In the next few minutes, Tezuka Umino, Akiyama Ren, and Kirishima Miho fed their contracted beasts through this energy pot at the same time, and then confirmed that the energy of this energy pot could provide energy to other contracted beasts.

Then all three fell silent.

"Hey, everyone, why aren't you talking?"

"Actually, I thought of something."

"Me too, I've speculated on a possibility before."

"Me too... In fact, everyone should have doubts."

Listening to the words of the three people, Shinji Kido felt that he was confused.

Hey, what's going on? I'm obviously the one who got the award. Why is there this atmosphere of 'I'm the only one who can't do it'? ? ?

"Idiot Shinji, haven't you noticed yet?"

After letting out a long sigh, Kirishima Miho said to Kido Shinji.

"From the moment Wei Asakura was selected to step onto the knight's ring, the man behind the scenes... no, that's what he should be called."

"The organizer of the Knight Arena has already begun to plan for the world we live in."

"Eh? Layout? Wasn't it random that he chose Asakura Wei?"

After hearing Shinji Kido's words, the three of them discovered that even if they gained more power, Shinji Kido was still the same Shinji Kido.

In terms of 'innocence', he really hasn't changed at all.

"Let's put it this way, Kido. You told us after the ring battle that Asakura Wei had killed many knights in those reincarnations. If we want to make a head count, Asakura Wei must be No. 1. ,Right."

"Ah."

After all, I can't tell you that I knocked down nine knights at the same time in one reincarnation.

I won’t tell you whether it’s hard for you or not. I doubt you would believe me if I told you.

"Then this Asakura Wei died."

"Asakura Wei, who had such great power and contracted ten contracted beasts, died in the hands of a more powerful knight."

After exhaling, Akiyama Ren said to Kido Shinji.

"According to our observations, Wei Asakura's strength is extremely outstanding after entering the living body and summoning the contract beast that can release the black hole. Although he may not be able to defeat other people who have entered the ring, I think, His strength has surpassed most of the knights present."

"In this case, Wei Asakura, who would definitely choose a fight to the death, was killed by another Katsuki Daido, who would choose a fight to the death. I don't think this is a pure coincidence."

Even if Kido Shinji had never thought about this at all, after hearing Akiyama Ren's speculation, four big words popped up in his mind.

Kill with a borrowed knife.

The king snake was strong and murderous, and then he died.

This doesn't look like a coincidence.

"Before King Snake died, you had already drawn the manhole cover. You originally had a dragon shield in your basic form, but now that you have a manhole cover with stronger defense, at least you will have no problem in terms of survival."

"And considering that you're a meddlesome person..."

"Okay, peace-loving, your chances of being involved in a war will be much greater. Whether this manhole cover shield is used by you to save people or used for defense, it actually greatly improves your survivability. .”

"In addition, you were the last person to board the knight's ring, and you gained memories of the past and future, and even this energy pot and the coming of time. Don't you realize what these things represent?"

Listening to his friend's analysis, Shinji Kido finally understood.

“Really, looking back, we had a bit of a smooth ride.”

"The murderous king snake was killed by people from other worlds."

"The nosy me has a stronger ability to survive."

"Even the problem of raising contract beasts after I solved the problem through time coming has been solved incidentally. So..."

"Lian, do you want to say that the man behind the scenes is actually helping us?"

"More than just a help, I was basically a nanny throughout the whole process. Not to mention how to solve the reincarnation, I even took care of the aftermath for you and me."

Pointing to the villa where the four of them were, Qiu Shanlian said with a smile.

"He helped us with how to raise the contract beasts afterwards and prepare for my wedding. If I could see him in person, I would really like to thank him."

"I see!"

"Furthermore, based on our experience, the other selected knights may also have received a lot of help, either overtly or covertly, by joining the knights' ring. From this point of view, I think we don't need to put too much emphasis on it in the future. To speculate on the other party’s malicious intent.”

After saying this, Tezuka Umino asked Akiyama Ren.

"Now that it's all over, Akiyama, what are your plans next?"

"After that, I'll probably get married to Eri."

Looking at the ring hanging around her neck, Qiu Shanlian said with a happy smile.

"What I almost lost before, I now want to protect it for the rest of my life. And the conditions have been met, and I don't want Eri to wait any longer."

"But before that, I have one thing I have to do."

"Ah, me too."

"me too."

At this moment, the other three people, except Shinji Kido, stood up at the same time and bowed deeply to Shinji Kido, who looked stunned.

"Thank you! Shinji!"

"Thank you for saving Eri."

"Thank you for saving Yuichi."

"Thank you for saving my sister!"

Seeing the three companions suddenly and solemnly saying their heartfelt thanks, Shinji Kido was confused for a moment.

Then, he smiled and said to the three of them.

"What the hell are you three doing? Why are you so solemn all of a sudden? I thought it was something."

"We are companions, why are companions so polite to each other?"

"Yes, since we are companions..."

After taking out three documents from the box behind him, Akiyama Ren handed the three documents to the three people in front of him.

"——Put this thing away."

"...property transfer document????"

The three of them opened the document in front of them and were stunned when they saw the words on it.

According to the descriptions in these documents, Ren Akiyama plans to transfer part of the property he extracted from the knight ring to three companions, Tezuka Umino, Kirishima Miho, and Kido Shinji.

"Lian, you..."

After seeing this document, Shinji Kido immediately said loudly.

"It's too valuable! I can't accept it!"

"Me too, I'm not doing you any favors."

After taking a look at the two companions around her, Kirishima Miho sighed helplessly and put the file on the table.

"I told you two, why don't you just accept Akiyama's kindness with peace of mind?"

"If you do this, if I accept this document alone, it will appear that I am greedy for money."

"Ha, don't think so much."

Seeing the resistance of the three people, Akiyama Ren, who had already expected this, suddenly had the sneer on his face that he used to wear every day.

"I drew these things originally. Even if I give these three shares to you, the remaining property is enough for Eri and I to live comfortably for the rest of our lives."

"But do you three really have a stable and regular income?"

After hearing Akiyama Ren's words, the three of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere between the four of them suddenly became awkward.

The three people who were suddenly forced to face reality suddenly fell into silence after thinking about their jobs and income.

Shinji Kido - an intern reporter who only gets an internship salary.

Umiyuki Tezuka - fortune teller with unstable income.

Kirishima Miho - a former fraudster. Although in this time and space reincarnation, because of Shinji Kido's persuasion, Kirishima Miho, whose sister is still alive, chose to work hard, her income is not high.

This is very embarrassing.

"Look, this is the end."

Looking at the expressions of the three people at this time, Qiu Shanlian had already expected this situation.

"After we don't have to fight, more money isn't a bad thing. I don't know why you are so repulsive."

"Lian, I have a question."

"Say it, Shinji."

"Why do you, being so generous, keep chasing me for the interest on the 3 yuan glass money in the past reincarnation?"

"Nonsense! Eri was in the hospital before, and the money I earned from working was just enough to cover her hospitalization expenses. At that time, I had to fight monsters while working part-time. Do you think I was rich at that time?!"

Okay, that makes sense.

At this moment, Shinji Kido suddenly received a call.

On the phone, he heard an unfamiliar voice.

"Hey, is this Mr. Kido?"

"This voice...are you Sano Mitsuru?"

"It's me! Mr. Kido! Help me!"

"I don't have to fight anymore, please save me! I don't want to be eaten by these monsters!"
