I, Hikigaya, the snake of the red world god's ritual!

"Congratulations to Hikigaya Alliance Leader for gaining stronger power." Suddenly, Xiu Denan spoke deliberately, giving Hikigaya a compliment.

His reaction made the surrounding Sanzhuchen and Tandanqiuzhu slightly stunned, and then they quickly sent out congratulations.

Hikigaya silently nodded at this, and then left the Star Hall.

Just like when they came, Shudenan and Hecate took the initiative and took Hikigaya to Chiba City.

The ritual snake seemed to have finally exhausted its power and was unable to stay awake, so it returned to its original sleeping state.

After returning to Chiba, Hikigaya was about to leave, but at this moment, Hecate's voice suddenly sounded.

"Please wait a moment, Lord Alliance Leader."

"what happened?"

Hikigaya showed a confused expression, not understanding what Hecate, who had always been so arrogant, suddenly wanted to say to him.

"If my words make you unhappy, please let me apologize in advance."

"This……"

"Lord Leader, may I ask, what do you think can completely fill me up?"

ha?

Hikigaya stared blankly at the Sanwu girl Hecate. After being stunned for a while, he was sure that the other party was not making some dirty joke.

"What... does this specifically refer to?"

"Sorry, let me put it another way. Lord Leader, what do you think can make me feel satisfied from the bottom of my heart?"

"..."

Hikigaya stared at Hecate silently. He still didn't understand what the other party meant, but he probably understood why Hecate asked this question.

As the most noble seat, Hecate's life has always existed only for the ritual snake, and she is the most loyal witch to the ritual snake.

However, this was just a mission imposed by the Ritual Snake, and it was never something Hecate himself wanted to accomplish.

Just like her expression that never existed, there is a hole in the girl's heart that cannot be filled.

She longed to fill that hole, to let herself pursue something, to have some strong desire.

"I can't answer your question now." Hikigaya took a deep breath and looked at Hecate seriously, "But as long as the time is right, I will definitely be able to tell you the answer to this question."

"I understand."

Hecate did not doubt Hikigaya's words.

She quickly returned to her original miko appearance, standing pious and expressionless as she bid farewell to Hikigaya.

……

In the evening, Hikigaya returned to his home.

Just as he was about to take a good rest, he suddenly felt a familiar wave of flames.

Hikigaya immediately opened his window and saw the handsome man in a suit, Faliagni, floating outside the window. He had almost the same posture as before, holding the doll Marianne in his arms.

"Hikigaya-sama, good evening."

"Your attitude really gives me goosebumps. Wouldn't it be better to be normal?"

"Huh? I thought you would like this attitude?"

"I can still accept it if you ask Marianne to say this. You are so pretentious that it almost makes me spit out my dinner."

Hikigaya's complaints made Faliagni look helpless, while Marianne in his arms quickly said: "Please don't say that, Faliagni-sama, Hikigaya-sama, I asked him to use a more respectful one." Attitude in your face.”

"What?"

Hikigaya looked at the Crimson Demon King and Kushiko in front of him with a confused look on his face.

"Haha, you don't have to be surprised, Hikigaya." Faliagni quickly changed back to his normal attitude, "Now I have lost the power of the Red Demon King, and I have also been restricted by you. My status is no longer what it used to be, so I also voluntarily gave up my ownership of Marianne, allowing her to truly have freedom."

"free?"

Hikigaya looked at Faliagni in bewilderment, as if he was thinking whether the other party had been damaged by him before.

But in the end, he shook his head and said calmly:

"So, why did you come to see me today?"

"In fact, I have already prepared to take action against the other two Huo Wu in this city, but before taking action, I feel that I need to inform you and get your permission first."

"Two Huo Wu, you want one against two?"

"If it were me in the past, I might have had such confidence, but now, even if I try my best, I can only defeat one Huo Wu against the sky."

Faliagni shook his head silently and said: "In fact, the reason why I said two people is because the rules of the Da Ming Psalm have changed again. On the basis of the original, this time the rules of the Da Ming Psalm The participants become two and must engage in two-on-two combat.”

"Two versus two?" After hearing these words, Hikigaya immediately said, "Wait a minute, you're not trying to drag me to deal with them, are you?"

"I have this idea, but whether I agree or not is up to you, Hikigaya, to decide."

"..."

Hikigaya didn't say anything. He was just thinking about the pros and cons and what results he would get if he participated.

"I can't answer you yet, but there is a high probability that I will refuse."

"This is what I expected." Faliagni nodded silently, "I have known some of the Red World Apostles before. If there is no other way, I can go to them for help. The only question is, Hikigaya, can you accept me? Defeat those two Huo Wu? That red-haired girl seems to have a good relationship with you..."

"It doesn't matter, but if possible, I hope you can save her life."

Hikigaya did not make this request out of goodwill, he was just worried that Faliagni's killing of Shana might cause the God of Punishment to go crazy.

If the calamity of heaven and earth comes completely, the entire Chiba will be greatly affected, not to mention Faliagni himself.

"I understand." Faliagni nodded, "Then I have to prepare for those two fire mist traps, so I'll leave first."

Seeing Faliagni leaving, Hikigaya wanted to nod.

But he soon discovered something was wrong, and instinctively said: "Wait, why did you leave Marianne behind?"

"Ha ha."

In response to Hikigaya's confusion, Faliagni, who was flying in the sky, smiled and said: "I just fulfilled Marianne's wish. After all, this is the wish she pursues..."

"Her wish?"

Hikigaya looked down at the doll lady sitting on his bed, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

But Marianne, the doll that should have no facial expressions, is lowering her head inexplicably, and you can even see a clear blush on her face...

Chapter 69 Conditions for the Bone Picker!The great poem that begins again!

Chapter 69

The next morning, Hikigaya went to school as usual.

Before setting off, my sister Komachi noticed the changes in Hikigaya and couldn't help but said, "Hey, brother, the doll you brought before is back?"

"Yeah, no, how do you know, Komachi?"

Hikigaya looked at Komachi in shock.

When he brought the doll Marianne with him, he always tried to hide it in an inconspicuous place, always thinking that no one else knew about it, but he never expected that Komachi would discover it from the beginning.

"After all, I am Komachi, and my brother-controlled radar is paying attention to you, brother, 24 hours a day, and will never miss a single detail!!"

"Yes, yes, brother, I'm very happy."

"What, such a perfunctory attitude... I also want to remind you that the doll you bought is too girly. If someone other than Komachi and I see it, it will be easy to misunderstand you as a pervert!"

"Well, my reputation in school is already as bad as it gets, so I don't care about this little problem."

After finishing his daily complaining exchange with his sister, Hikigaya left the house calmly, got on his beloved bicycle, and set off in the direction of school.

"Hikigaya-sama..."

Suddenly, Marianne, the doll in his arms, spoke and called his name.

"What's wrong?" Hikigaya lowered his head in confusion and looked at the doll lady he had put in his inner pocket.

"I just want to say I'm sorry...what my sister-sama said just now seems to have caused trouble to Hikigaya-sama. I'm really sorry."

Marianne spoke softly, her expression a little downcast, obviously she really felt guilty about the impact she had on Hikigaya's reputation.

"Don't worry." Hikigaya patted the doll's head gently, "My reputation is already bad enough on ordinary days, and adding another label that I like girly dolls won't have any impact. Besides, I actually It’s not that I don’t like dolls like you, aren’t they cute and fluffy?”

"Pfft—!"

In an instant, a sound like a steam engine sounded from Hikigaya's arms.

Hikigaya looked at it in confusion and found that bursts of smoke were coming out of the top of the doll's head for some reason, as if it was about to catch fire!

"Hey, are you okay? I'll give you some water!"

"No, no need! I'm fine!!"

Faced with Hikigaya's nervousness, Marianne spoke quickly to stop the other party's behavior.

"I...I'm just too happy. I always feel very happy, but I don't seem to have the heart...Why is this?"

——Uh, is this some kind of joke?

Hikigaya looked at Marianne scratching her head and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

But after Miss Doll interrupted him, all the irritating thoughts that were squeezing in his heart disappeared, and he felt inexplicably relaxed.

It seems that there is a reason why that guy Faliagni likes dolls so much.

Hikigaya somehow understood Faliagni's weird xp a little more.

Hikigaya continued riding his bicycle to school, but when he passed a fork in the road, a familiar figure made him stop immediately.

"Bone picker?"

"Ah, we meet again, sir."

Bonepicker Rami smiled and took off his hat, saluting Hikigaya in an elegant manner.

"Thank you for the information you provided about what happened before." Hikigaya thought for a while and took the initiative to open the topic.

"That's just a small reminder. In fact, Faliagni's disappearance is also good for me, but I didn't expect that you didn't seem to completely eliminate him..."

Lamy's expression was full of confusion.

He obviously really couldn't understand why Hikigaya didn't completely eliminate Faliagni, but instead left him alive.

"The reason is simple, because I still need Faliagni to live." Hikigaya said calmly, "To me, the value of his existence is far greater than his disappearance, that's all. Of course, this is also because I just made a contract with a certain little guy in advance..."

"contract?"

Bone Picker Lamy was stunned for a moment, then instinctively looked at Hikigaya's chest.

There, Marianne was secretly observing the outside world through the gaps in her clothes. After noticing Lamy's sight, she immediately retracted her head in fear.

"Haha, it seems that you, sir, have undergone a lot of changes in these thousands of years."

"maybe……"

Hikigaya looked at Rami silently.

The other party has not yet seen that his true identity is not a ritual snake, but an ordinary human being. Hikigaya doesn't know whether to expose this matter.

He felt that perhaps a good opportunity was needed before he and Lord Lamy could truly be honest with each other.

"By the way, speaking of which, I still don't know the reason why you came to this city."

Although Hikigaya knew that the chanter was chasing the bone collector, he didn't know the specific reason. Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally wanted to ask for details.

"Well, for some reason I have provoked a troublesome enemy, and the Daming Psalm has completely affected the flow of the city's existence power. Now I can't use some of the free moves I'm good at." Lamy said, with a headache on his face. He said, "To be honest, I really don't know what to do now. If I can't leave this city, I may not be able to escape the next time I meet the mourner."

Due to a special purpose, Bone Picker Lamy has been absorbing the remaining power of the torch and condensing the power of existence.

He has been working on this for hundreds of years and is almost finished.

Therefore, he did not want to waste any power of existence at this time, let alone use his power to fight the Fire Mist Warrior.

"Lami, do you hope to escape from the hands of the mourner?" Hikigaya realized the situation and spoke instinctively, "This may not be possible for ordinary people, be it the Fire Mist Warrior or the Red World Apostle. I can’t do it for you, but I have a way to help you achieve it.”

"Is this...really?" Lamy looked at Hikigaya in surprise, "But sir, don't you never take action for anything other than your own purpose? This matter is completely caused by me. Reasons to get your help.”
