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

Hearing Tianji Jiehuo speak like this, Wilemina couldn't say anything else and had to agree with Hikigaya's statement.

So she looked at Shana and said slowly: "I understand. In this case, I will stay in this city and face the Red World Apostle and the Great Psalm with you."

"This, this is it."

Xia Na seemed to be slightly dissatisfied with this result, but she did not refuse in the end and nodded silently.

"I'm going to find a suitable place to live next. Do you want to come with me?"

"Just leave these things to Wilemina. I want to talk to Hikigaya again."

"Is that so..."

Wilhelmina nodded.

Before leaving, she suddenly came to Hikigaya, observing the man in front of her with an inexplicable sharpness.

"What...what happened? Miss Willemina..."

"After having said so much, I still want to ask you the original question again, Hikigaya-dono." Wilemina said coldly, "What is the relationship between you two?"

"Ah... ah this..."

Being looked at like this, Hikigaya didn't know what to say as a good answer for a moment.

When Xia Na saw this, she quickly pushed the woman in maid uniform away, and said with a blushing face: "I said it doesn't matter anymore, you should leave quickly, Wilhelmina!!"

"understood."

Wilhelmina nodded slightly and gave Hikigaya a last deep look before finally leaving the scene.

"..."

Hikigaya finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It can be seen that this Miss Wilhelmina really wants to take Shana to a safe city, and she has a deep concern for her like a parent.

It's a pity that the other party has always been bound by the mission of the Fire Mist Warrior, and even his concern for Shana has been hijacked by this sense of mission, and has to give way to higher priorities.

This shows that the Fire Mist Warriors are not as glamorous as they appear on the surface, but behind them there is actually a sadness that is like a killing weapon, and they cannot have personal relationships...

"Hikigaya, thank you just now." Shana seemed to have become much more frank than before after experiencing the last fateful poem. "Actually, I know what Wilhelmina really thinks, and I also know that she may leave this place. This city is a better choice for me, but I still hope to stay and witness the formation of the world's largest vortex bit by bit, and use my own power to influence it all and participate in it!"

"...That's it."

Hikigaya was a little surprised. He didn't expect Shana to be much sharper than he thought.

It seems that the opponent is not simply stupid, but is used to pure fighting and cannot get out of this pure state.

Taking into account the changes in the other party during this period, he may really grow up little by little in the future, becoming the strongest contractor of Tiandi Jiehuo, the strongest Fire Mist Warrior, and his most powerful opponent.

Just when Hikigaya was worried that he might be about to create a powerful enemy for his future self, Shana suddenly raised her head and looked at him.

"By the way, Hikigaya, I suddenly want to ask you a question."

"what?"

"Although I stayed in this city to become stronger, why did you stay?" Shana looked at him closely, as if longing for some answer, "The Psalm of Life is a terrible whirlpool. , will attract a large number of strong men and terrifying apostles, even you will inevitably fall into irresistible danger one day, right?"

Regarding Shana's words, Hikigaya was silent for a while, then slowly replied: "Who knows, maybe it's because I have a righteous heart."

"What? What a fake answer."

"It's really fake, so I can't figure out the specific answer." Hikigaya looked at the ever-expanding Taimei poem in the center of Chiba, "Maybe I just want to take a look at the scenery at the highest point in the world, or maybe , I just simply long for a chaotic battlefield full of chaos and countless opportunities."

……

After the morning's affairs were over, Hikigaya arrived at Sobu High School as quickly as possible and arrived at his class, which was full of chaos and youth.

After a morning of classes, Hikigaya left the classroom in the afternoon as usual and went to the club office.

Yukinoshita Yukino was sitting deep in the room as usual, with an unchanged cold expression on her face.

"Yo."

"...Oh, so it's Hikigaya-san."

Yukinoshita sighed softly and looked back at the book in her hand.

"Don't show the reaction of the girl who sat next to me after changing seats, that would hurt me." Hikigaya complained silently, "And girls at that time would still complain to me, making me seem like a bad person? If you want to complain, you should complain about your bad luck in getting the seat next to me in the lottery.”

"So you still admit that the seat next to you is the worst seat..."

"I didn't say the worst, that's your preconceived notion."

"I apologize to you, your subconscious is really scary."

Yukinoshita smiled and spoke, but that smile seemed to hide something.

"What's wrong?" Hikigaya asked.

"No, nothing..."

Yukinoshita's reaction clearly showed that nothing was wrong. Hikigaya frowned and looked at the other party. After realizing that Yukinoshita was unwilling to speak, he also sat in his seat silently.

"Student Hikigu..."

"what?"

Hearing the sound, Hikigaya instinctively raised his head.

He found that Yukinoshita was clutching his chest at this moment, swallowing nervously, and in order to hide his pink cheeks, he only raised his wet eyes to look over.

"This weekend, can you...accompany me?"

"What?"

……

After the affairs in the service club were over, Hikigaya walked down the street after school with a confused look on his face.

Yukinoshita actually asked me to accompany her...

Until this moment, Hikigaya was in disbelief at this chaotic reality, so much so that his brain was in chaos and he completely lost the ability to judge.

what to do?Is it better to go back quickly and refuse?

Unable to resist such an impulse, Hikigaya instinctively wanted to turn around, but at this moment, he found a very familiar figure standing at the school gate.

"Thousand Changes?"

"Hey, long time no see, Leader of Hikigaya."

Facing Shudenan's arrival, Hikigaya frowned slightly.

He vaguely realized that the other party's arrival must have some purpose, but he could not guess what the other party's purpose was yet.

Xiu Denan looked at him with a relaxed expression and said, "School ends quite early today. Do you want to go shopping with me?"

"what?"

It’s okay if Yukinoshita asked me to accompany her. You, a grown man, asked me to accompany you. Are you sure you really have no problem?

Although he complained in his heart, Hikigaya did not refuse.

He really wanted to know what Qian Bian's purpose was in coming to him this time.

Soon, the two of them left the gate of Sobu High School, and Qianbian took Hikigaya to a tea room with a relaxed look on his face, with a chessboard placed in the middle.

"What? You want to take me to play Go? It's not my fault. I don't even know how to play Go!"

"If you don't know Go, there's no problem in playing backgammon." Xiu Denan looked at him with a smile, "You can always play backgammon, right?"

"Well, this is indeed..."

Unable to figure out Shudenan's real purpose for teasing him, Hikigaya finally gave up any extra thoughts and directly picked up the chess pieces and placed them on the chessboard.

I'm not bragging, Hikigaya once played Gomoku by himself and completely mastered all the rules of Gomoku.

This was basically a game where the first player would win, and there was no reason for him not to seize this advantage.

Seeing Hikigaya's confident look, Shutonan didn't care at all and calmly picked up a chess piece.

"This is just for fun. Even if you win, there will be no benefit."

"Are you looking down on human beings' desire to win?" Hikigaya smiled, "As long as there is a chance to win, no one will take the initiative to admit defeat."

"Indeed, not only humans, but the Red World Apostles also have this strong desire to win." Xiu Denan nodded, "But do you really think it is possible for you to defeat me?"

"I don't want to talk about anything else. If I just play backgammon, I don't think I will lose."

"Haha, I think this is not necessarily the case."

"Oh?"

Faced with Shutonan's pointed look, Hikigaya pretended not to hear the other person's implication, and simply focused on the backgammon game in front of him.

Just as he imagined, even if the opponent is the strongest Red Devil, in this game with limited rules and no other way to win except connecting five chess pieces together, he cannot achieve anything beyond imagination. move.

The chess game quickly shifted in Hikigaya's direction, and he was almost certain that he was about to establish victory.

however……

"Hey, where are my chess pieces?"

Hikigaya stared blankly at the chess piece he placed on the edge that was supposed to be his.

In that short moment, because his attention was focused on the other end and not on this side, his chess piece changed color in a blink of an eye and turned into the color of Xiu Denan's chess piece.

This can no longer be described as cheating, it is simply treating yourself like a fool!

Just when Hikigaya wanted to question Shutonan, the general, one of the three pillars, smiled and waved his hand.

"Do you think I am cheating? But when did I say in the rules that I am not allowed to use the power of existence? In fact, the power of existence is part of my strength, and there is no reason why I am not allowed to use it."

"This……"

"Besides, I didn't allow you to use the power of existence, Hikigaya, right? You can also use that power to have a head-on confrontation with me on the chessboard."

"This is the first time I've seen someone talk about cheating in such a fresh and refined way...According to your theory, the people who cheat in casinos did nothing wrong at all. That's their own ability."

"That's right." Xiu Denan nodded slightly, "This world is originally about the weak and the strong, and the winner is king. We Red World Apostles obey the barbaric rules. Only strength is everything."

"..."

Confused by Shudenan's words, Hikigaya couldn't help but rub his temples, thinking about what to say to refute the other party.

Shudenan didn't care at all about this and said calmly: "Speaking of which, it was you Hikigaya who told me this. You defeated the hunter Faliagni in the Daimei Poem before, and you used the same method. Let the hunter and the bone picker Lamy win the victory of the Great Psalm, don't you think your approach is similar to what I just did?"

Don't confuse me with your kind of pure cheating.

Hikigaya was complaining in his heart, but he had actually gradually come to agree with Shutonan's remarks.

In essence, he is also a believer in this theory. As long as the result is obtained, the process does not matter at all, even if it is so-called cheating...

Just when Hikigaya was lost in thought, Shutonan suddenly said with a serious look on his face: "

"By the way, Hikigaya, I've always been surprised. You defeated Faryagni but didn't kill him. At the same time, you faced the bone collector Rami and offered him help. Why? Are you Is there any purpose?”

"No, I just do whatever I want."

Hikigaya spoke very naturally.

In fact, what he said was indeed true. He was doing whatever he wanted, including setting the biggest goal of fighting the gods from the beginning.

"I see." Xiu Denan did not continue to ask about this matter, and then suddenly changed the subject, "Speaking of which, you are the Ashes who caused a huge commotion at Chiba Second Municipal Hospital, right? You were really capable back then. Lord Serpent of Ceremony’s demeanor back then, he defeated all the Fire Mist Warriors and Red Demon King present at that time, and even left behind such a famous name, Immortal Ashes.”

"I don't know about that kind of thing at all. I don't have that part of the memory." Hikigaya immediately said, "And what a famous name. Are you an elementary school student? I feel ashamed for you when I hear it."

"Haha, it seems that you really care about that matter." Xiu Denan nodded calmly, "In terms of power, you have been infinitely close to Lord Serpent of the Sacrifice, and even I have to be far behind. I am very curious. Can you still show the power you had at that time and even surpass yourself at that time?"

"What do you mean?"

Hikigaya's expression turned a little cold unconsciously. He had already read the real purpose behind Shudenan's words.

"As expected, you already understand." Xiu Denan nodded slightly, "What I want is very simple, that is, I want to see the immortal ashes appear again."

"So, come and join me in the next Daimei Psalm, Hikigaya. We will enjoy the fun of fighting and killing there, experience the pleasure of being above the rules, and completely determine the winner!"

Chapter 80 The Birth of Demon King Hikigaya!

Chapter 80

Qianbian Shudenan's voice sounded. Hikigaya did not respond immediately, but frowned and fell into thinking.
