"Really, this happened because Shidou refused to stay by my side."

Ming helped up Shidou who was lying on the ground, blinked his eyes and said.

"Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee, Yakumo-san is delicious too, but before enjoying dessert, can you hand over Shidou-kun who is the main course?"

With a mad smile on Kuang San's face, he raised the short gun in his hand and pointed at his life.

"Ah, you actually know my name, so I don't need to introduce myself. Unfortunately, I won't entrust Shidou to you."

Ming held Shidou's hand, looked at Kurumi and said.

"Then there is no other way."

Kuang San pulled the trigger without hesitation, the bullet formed by the shadows drew a dark trajectory, and then smashed into the barrier of life.

"Ah, it's okay if you don't need to save your spiritual power so much. Miss Kuang San is unexpectedly stingy."

"Then, as you wish."

Another musket reappeared from the shadows, paired with the weapon in Kurumi's hands, one long and one short, just like the hour and minute hands of a clock.

Holding two murder weapons, Kuang San poured countless bullets on the night food field at a rate of fire that was not at all like an old-fashioned musket.

however……

Even if the main gun of the battleship cannot penetrate the night food, even if it is in the state of being sealed by Shidou, it is not an existence that can be penetrated by spiritual bullets.When the bullet hit it, it was like raindrops falling on the umbrella, only splashing faint ripples.

"Kotori, please use the teleportation device to retrieve Shidou."

As if he didn't think Kurumi could pose a threat, Ming said into the headset.

"That spare time will make you regret it!"

In an instant, the shadow under Kuang San's feet expanded several times.

【! ! ! 】

At this moment, several rays of light flashed in the sky, piercing through Kuang San's chest with lightning speed.

Mei and Shidou looked up, and what they saw was Mana falling from the sky.

"Really!"

Shidou called out to the sudden "reinforcements".

"Master Brother... and Miss Ming, wait a moment, and they will be cleaned up right away."

Mana said, came to Kurumi and raised the sword in his hand.

"stop it now!!!"

What was faster than Shidou was Mana's movement, the girl cut off Kurumi's head cleanly.

"Why... why do you want to do this... don't kill people."

He didn't want Kurumi to be killed, and he didn't want his sister to commit murder, especially when Shidou saw the numbness in Mana's eyes, as if he was used to killing elves.

"That woman is not human, brother. Just like Miss Ming, she is an existence called an elf."

Looking at Mei behind Shidou, Mana said so.Because of the appearance of an angel, it is obvious that Fate is a spirit.

It is simply the worst deployment. As an AST, Mana opened the shoulder device, and just now fired a decisive laser from there, killing Kurumi accurately, and then cutting off the head. It's just an insurance method to kill the target.

"Stop--!!!"

Shidou stood between Mei and Mana.

"...Forget it, anyway, please leave quickly, Brother Brother and Miss Ming, the support troops are coming soon."

Even though the other party is an elf, it is an indisputable fact that he protected Shidou from Kurumi before.

For Mana, the reason for killing the elves is nothing more than that the elves must be eliminated because they threaten humans, and he happens to be able to do this.For the elf who protected his brother, if possible, he didn't want to kill him.

Chapter No.16 Comfort

Realizing that once reinforcements from AST arrived, the situation would become even more troublesome, so Koki pulled Shidou out of the alley.

【Shidou looks very listless. 】

During the whole process, Shidou maintained a disappointed, unwilling, and a little downcast expression, just like losing his soul.

[But there is no way, after all, he is the kind of person who cares more about others than himself. 】

First, he witnessed the murder scene of Tokisaki Kurumi with his own eyes.Ming felt that if it wasn't because she realized that Shidou was in danger, her performance might not be much better than Shidou's.Even the big crater caused by the space quake will not arouse the hidden fears of human beings more than this bloody picture.

And after that, he witnessed the scene of his sister beheading Tokisaki Kurumi with her own hands. The whole operation was just like the assembly line in a factory, without guilt, anxiety, or even a trace of killing Losing the elf's sense of accomplishment is as natural as breathing.

Witnessing Kurumi killing people and then being killed back, it would be strange if Shidou's fate was not in this state.

"Ming, can you come here?"

After returning to the airship, Reine said to Ming.

"Ah."

"Shen's mood is very unstable, I want you to comfort him."

"...With Kotori around, it should be fine, right?"

Looking at Kotori who was talking to Shidou, Ming felt that as a younger sister, Kotori would be able to calm Shidou's mood.

Snapped!

However, just as Ming was thinking this way, he saw Kotori not far away giving Shidou a slap.

[The preface is withdrawn, as expected, it is not acceptable to hand it over to Kotori. 】

"As you can see, Kotori is too strong, no, it should be said that for Kotori, if she is not so strong, she can't do it."

Ling Yin said with a sigh.After all, he became the commander of Ratatoskr at the age of a junior high school student. If he didn't have such a strong personality, he would have been under pressure long ago.I believe the slap before was not to blame Shidou, but to make him stronger, Kotori's unique method of encouragement.

"However, I think Shen now needs more comfort from a girl with a gentle temperament, so can I ask you, Ming?"

"Of course, I also want to do something for Shidou after all."

Although she complained in her heart whether it was appropriate for Lingyin to entrust this kind of errand to a half-transformed person, it was also what she wanted to do, so she nodded and agreed to Lingyin's request.

--split line--

When he got home, Shidou lay on the sofa and looked at the incandescent lights on the ceiling.

The date is completely interrupted by a sudden accident.Tohka, who is still waiting on the other side, will be explained by the staff on Fraxinus, and she should have returned to the elf apartment by now.As for Kotori, because of work, he will live in the skyship, so Shidou is the only one in Wuhe's family now.

When he was on the skyship, because he witnessed Kurumi's murder scene, Shidou even had doubts about whether he was correct in attacking the spirits, and was beaten by Kotori.

Tomorrow, Kurumi will come to school again, so there is only one thing Shidou has to do—to attack Kurumi and seal her spiritual power.In this way, Kurumi won't kill any more, and Mana doesn't have to continue chasing Kurumi.This is the ending that Shidou expected, and it is something that only Shidou can do.However……

【So heavy...】

As if a heavy stone was weighing on his heart, Shidou felt extremely depressed.

At this time, there was a sound of opening the door outside.Who is it?Shidou thought suspiciously.

"That...excuse me..."

It was Ming who pushed open the door and walked in, the girl cautiously looked into the room, confirming Shidou's condition with a worried expression.

"Yakumo-senpai?"

"Ehehe...I'm worried about Shidou, so I want to come and have a look."

The girl smiled and sat beside Shidou.

"Shidou won't continue to lie down?"

asked fate.Judging by the dent on the sofa, Shidou had been lying on the sofa before he came.

"But……"

However, there was an extra girl at the other end of the sofa about the length of one person, and there was not enough space for Shidou to rest.

"Be discouraged...a knee pillow...that's fine too."

As if seeing Shidou's concern, Ming smiled shyly.

"but……"

"Really. Girls have said this kind of thing, and it is forbidden to refuse."

Seeing Shidou's tangled state, Minami sighed, gently grabbed Shidou's arm, and let him fall on his lap.

"Even if you're a boy, it's okay to act like a baby occasionally."

Looking at Shidou lying on his lap, Ming pointed his lips with his finger, blinked his eyes and said with a smile.

Although I was very embarrassed, but lying on the girl's soft legs, the heavy feeling before seemed to have reduced a lot.Instead, the accumulated fatigue of the day made Shidou completely lose the thought of getting up.Feeling the girl's gentle body fragrance, he gently closed his eyes.

[It seems that I am very tired. 】

If it was a normal Shidou, he would have jumped up blushing.Looking at the young man exuding a sense of heaviness all over his body, Ming sighed in his heart.

"Damn...does Shidou want to save Kurumi?"

Mei lightly stroked Shidou's forehead and asked.Before coming here, he had already learned from Lingyin that Kurumi possessed some kind of resurrection ability. In other words, Shidou's strategy for Kurumi was not over yet.

"Ah, if you don't want Kuang San to continue killing people, and if you don't want Mana to continue chasing and killing Kuang San, I have to save her."

"I'm not asking you that kind of thing."

Looking at Shidou's heavy expression, Hiroki let out a sigh of relief.That's right, what Shidou said is correct.However, the decisive difference is that there is no subjective will in the boy's tone.

Unlike saving himself and saving Yoshino, Shidou at that time clearly conveyed the idea of ​​saving the spirits to everyone.As for Shidou now, it's completely—"Because only I can do it, so I have to do it", this kind of feeling.

"I mean, are you willing to save Kurumi yourself, Shidou?"

"I don't know... To be honest, I don't know. Unlike Senpai, Tohka, and Yoshino, Kurumi is killing people with her own will."

Even if it is a natural disaster, even if it will cause a space earthquake, the elves are like Ming who do not want to hurt anyone.Shidou used to think so.However, the appearance of Kurumi upended this idea.

"It's not different. It doesn't matter if it's Kurumi or me, or even Tohka or Yoshino."

However, Ming shook his head.

"Even if it wasn't my intention, I must have killed someone and destroyed many, many good things."

Ming shook his head. Judging from the information on Fraxinus, as an elf, the scale of the space shock he can cause is quite terrifying AA level, which is a level that is not surprising to completely hollow out the entire city center.

So Ming never firmly believed that he was innocent, I'm afraid... the same is true for Tohka and Yoshino.

"If it hurts anyone, Kurumi is no different from us. Then, Shidou thinks that such a Kurumi really can't be like us. With Shidou's help, he can go back to not hurting anyone, and he doesn't need to be like us. In the life of being hurt by anyone?"

asked fate.

【! ! ! 】

For a moment, Shidou opened his eyes wide.

Why did you forget?The reason why Wuhe Shidao wanted to save the elves was because he didn't want to see their expressions full of despair.Whether it is life, Tohka, or Yoshino, Shidou is clear that they will hurt someone or destroy some city because of the space shock, but even so, he still decides to save them. He did not hesitate to sacrifice his life for this.

The same is true for Kurumi, even if he executes the killing with his own will, but Shidou believes that the chain of killing and being killed is a kind of despair for Kurumi.So Shidou wants to save, and wants to use his own power to bring Kurumi back to a world where he doesn't need to kill or be killed.

"Thank you, senior. Sure enough, I still want to save Kurumi."

The drive to save the spirit dispelled the heaviness in his body, Shidou opened his eyes, and what he saw was Mei's gentle smile.

"Ah wow! Sorry!"

He cheered up and remembered that he was lying on the girl's lap, so he jumped up in a panic.

"Ah, it's okay to act like a baby for a while?"

Ming blinked and said.

"Ah ha ha……"

Then Shidou blushed and scratched his cheek with a dry smile.

Chapter No.17 The City of Eating Time

After Shidou regained his energy yesterday, Tohka and Yoshino also came to Itsuka's house because they were worried about his relationship.Tohka was fooled by Kotori with the excuse that Shidou had appendicitis, gastric perforation, acute gastric ulcer, duodenitis, and cholera at the same time, and finally collapsed in the toilet and was recovered by Fraxinus.
