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

"That's right. It would be abnormal if my brother didn't encounter anything bad at school..."

Habitually complaining to each other with his sister, Hikigaya gradually recovered from the oppression of confronting the Red Demon King.

Sure enough, you can’t live without your sister, just like you can’t play Pokémon without catching Pikachu!

After dinner, Hikigaya was alone in his room studying the basics of the Dharma that Shudenan told him. Although he had never been exposed to these things in the past, he somehow had no threshold.

Because of the so-called freedom method, Hikigaya discovered after research that it was the same as playing Jenga and building a house with cards because he had no friends.

Not to mention the saying that distracting thoughts should be abandoned when using the freedom method. Apart from human observation, Hikigaya's best skill is the ultimate meditation of completely stopping thinking. This allows him to get through unbearable situations without even realizing it. group activities...

Therefore, Hikigaya almost quickly understood the concept of free method and learned his first free method today.

Hikigaya named it - [Dragon Tail].

Specifically, Hikigaya can use the power of existence to impart dragon-like attributes to stick- or strip-shaped objects, making them extremely destructive.

Because the dragon scales will be more flexible and flexible when using strips, Hikigaya's main method of execution is to transform his scarf into a dragon and wave it around to launch powerful attacks.

And because the scarf looks like a dragon wagging its tail when it is waved, it is called a dragon's tail.

This is such a reasonable inference. Hikigaya definitely did not find inspiration in the diary of his second year in middle school...

After confirming that he had basic fighting abilities, Hikigaya felt a little relieved, but he still couldn't feel completely at ease.

Before going to school the next morning, he gave many instructions to Komachi to pay attention to whether there was anything wrong with the students around him. If there was anything abnormal, he must tell him.

"Then, I'll go to school too."

Wrap the scarf around your neck. Compared to your own safety, such an unseasonal outfit is nothing.

So, Hikigaya rode his beloved bicycle and set off for the campus.

On the way, he habitually came to the vending machine, ready to buy a can of Max coffee, but found that a black-haired girl in school uniform was already standing here.

Hikigaya originally wanted to wait until the other party finished buying before buying, but he didn't expect that the girl had bought the last can of Max coffee inside.

When he saw the red word "Sold Out" written under the max coffee logo, Hikigaya felt like he had fallen from heaven into the bottomless abyss in an instant.

"Hey, who are you?"

At the same time, the girl in front of him seemed to have noticed Hikigaya waiting behind, and a very strange expression appeared on her face.

Only then did Hikigaya realize that standing in front of him was a black-haired girl with a special style. She was wearing another high school uniform and had a strange necklace hanging around her neck that seemed to be burning with flames.

Chapter 14 The Lies of the Fire Mist Warrior

Chapter 14

In front of the vending machine in the morning, there were hardly many passers-by on the roadside. Hikigaya and the black-haired girl in front of him were the only two people on the street.

The girl was wearing the uniform of Sobu High School, but Hikigaya had never seen such a person in school.

He glanced at the hot Max coffee in the girl's hand, then glanced at the 'sold out' display on the vending machine, and suddenly felt the impermanence of fate——

Life is like this, the more you want something, the harder it is to get it.

And many times, the things that I pursue with all my life may be just boring things that others can easily get...

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, I fell into thinking about life again without realizing it.

Just when Hikigaya was about to give up Max Coffee and choose another drink, he realized that the black-haired girl in front of him had been staring at him.

Moreover, the other party always gave him a very subtle feeling, how should I put it...beautiful?cute?Is there pressure?

Uh, I always feel that there are some more intuitive words to describe it, as if I have seen someone similar?

Yukinoshita Yukino?Mr. Shizuka Hiratsuka?

No, it's not the same, Hikigaya feels that the other person is more like a mixture of these two people, and they both tend to be more evil.

Wait, Yukinoshita Yukino's poisonous tongue and Hiratsuka Shizuka-sensei's violence?

Is this the final boss at the hell level of difficulty? !

Hikigaya shuddered violently, a strong omen of crisis appeared in his mind, and his body immediately acted instinctively.

"Oh, drinking something early in the morning is not good for your health. You'd better go to school quickly."

Talking to himself, Hikigaya turned around and was about to ride his beloved bicycle and escape as quickly as possible from this boss-occupied area that was suspected of triggering a crisis at any time.

But what he didn't expect was that in the next second, a slightly slender hand grabbed his wrist directly.

"Hey, you should have noticed that I'm looking at you, right? Why did you run away right now?"

No, no, no, I didn’t notice it!I don’t have the blood of the Joestar family, so I can feel the murderous aura of the blond vampire from thousands of miles away!

Hikigaya complained crazily in his mind, feeling more and more from the girl's actions that his judgment was correct.

This kind of temperament is definitely not ordinary, and communication with the other party will definitely bring unimaginable trouble!

"You...you know me?" Feeling the girl's eyes becoming more and more serious, Hikigaya had no choice but to make a sound to test.

"I don't know you, but I know you...are you the guy who removed the trap on Yuigahama Yui yesterday?"

"Disarm the trap? Wait, you are!"

After hearing the girl's words, Hikigaya's expression suddenly became serious.

At this moment, the panic and confusion in his heart suddenly spread crazily, and was finally suppressed by his monster-like self-control.

Hikigaya quickly made a judgment - yes, the girl in front of him is the Fire Mist Warrior who replaced Yuigahama Yui's friend!

In fact, the black-haired girl quickly introduced herself:

"I am a crusader with flaming hair and scorching eyes, a fire and mist warrior who just came to this city during this period."

"Fire Mist Warrior..."

Hikigaya's heart was wary, and his brain began to think crazily.

According to Hikigaya's current understanding, the Fire Mist Warriors are the ones who signed a contract with the Red World Demon King on the side of order in order to protect the peace of the world, and crusade against the Red World Demon King who indiscriminately swallows the power of existence.

From a literal perspective, they undoubtedly represent the 'just' side.

Under normal circumstances, Hikigaya should not have any fear of these beings, but should seek their protection.

However, Hikigaya has now become the leader of the masquerade party and is on the side of the Red World Apostles. Regardless of what he thinks, the fact is that he is already on the opposite side of the Fire Mist Warriors.

In this way, the risk of exposing one's identity in front of a Fire Mist Warrior is far greater than the possible benefits of revealing the truth...

At least Hikigaya didn't think that ordinary Fire Mist warriors had the ability to help him get rid of the ritual snake in his body.

Therefore, Hikigaya cannot reveal his true identity under any circumstances.

"I am Hikigaya Hachiman, currently a high school student at Sobu High School."

Hikigaya's seemingly casual words hinted that he, like the girl, was no ordinary being.

Speaking of the crusader with burning hair and burning eyes, is this a name or a title?It sounds quite domineering. Let's go and ask Qian Bian and the others later.

"I see, you are also a Fire Mist Warrior." The girl thought she had seen through Hikigaya's identity, "Which Red Demon King signed the contract with you?"

Do you Fire Mist warriors always talk like this when they first meet?That would be too rude.

However, Hikigaya did not answer casually, because he could realize that the girl did not completely believe his words and was still testing him.

At this time, if Hikigaya shows any behavior that is not in line with the Fire Mist Warrior, it will immediately arouse the other party's suspicion and hostility.

In this case, then we can only...

"I do not know."

"do not know?"

"Most of the characters of the Red World Demon King are very weird, and some even don't want to listen to people at all, so it's natural that I don't know its name, right?"

"This is also..."

Hikigaya's words successfully dispelled the girl's suspicion. Although it was not the optimal solution, at least it would not arouse the other party's vigilance in a short period of time.

Taking advantage of this moment, Hikigaya quickly started the next topic: "Is it okay for you to take the initiative to contact me like this? How can you be sure that I will live in harmony with you instead of directly fighting for territory?"

Hikigaya knew that the balance between the Fire Mist Warriors was very fragile. A large number of Fire Mist Warriors wanted to destroy the Red World Demon King themselves and gain the power of existence.

There is a strong competitive relationship between them.

For the girl to take the initiative to talk to him like this, Hikigaya thought it was a very unwise choice.

"I..." The girl seemed stunned. She obviously had not thought about this possibility.

"This is indeed a possibility." Suddenly, a rather vicissitudes of voice sounded from the necklace on the girl's body.

That voice inexplicably reminded Hikigaya of the Ritual Snake, and he always felt that there was some similarity between the two...

"As a Fire Mist Warrior, if you make contact without being prepared in advance, it seems that you really need more time to practice."

"No road race..."

Regarding the words about the necklace, the girl showed a hint of reluctance, but she did not refute.

"So, Hikigaya, right?" The voice of the necklace spoke to Hikigaya Hachiman, "I am the Crimson World Demon King who signed a contract with her, the Heaven and Earth Tribulation Fire. Since you are both Fire Mist Warriors, you should know about the crusade between me and Flame-haired Shagugan. existence.”

"Sorry, I don't know."

Hikigaya knows that the key to lying is nine truths and one falsehood.

Instead of constantly making up lies to cover up lies, using as many true words as possible to cover up your original lies is what a qualified fraudster should do.

"It seems that the Red World Demon King in you is not in very good condition." Tian Ti Jie Huo did not raise any doubts. "No wonder you still have such a strong human aura."

Chapter 15 Hikigaya’s Law of Self-Destruction

Chapter 15

"Speaking of which, why did you come to me?" Hikigaya asked, facing the Crimson Demon King who had signed a contract with the girl, "You should have some reasons."

"indeed so."

Tian Ti Jie Huo answered affirmatively.

The Fire Mist Warrior girl who had just been criticized immediately took over the topic and said: "The reason why I came to you is very simple. Some time ago, after I came to this city, I felt that there was a very strong atmosphere in this place. There is an imbalance. This shows that there is at least one powerful Red Demon King here. In order to find it, I took over the existence of this torch and lived in this city on her behalf."

"torch?"

"Yes." Faced with Hikigaya's suspicion, the girl said very calmly: "The name of this torch is Hirai Yui, and I am an old acquaintance with Yuigahama Yui. After I took over her existence, I also came into contact with her. Yuigahama Yui... Originally, I had been paying attention to Yuigahama Yui's condition, and wanted to use her to lure out the Red Demon King who was causing trouble behind her, but I didn't expect that all the threads of existence on her body were destroyed by you."

Sure enough...

Realizing that there was almost no discrepancy between the situation behind it and his guess, Hikigaya seemed calm, but in fact his impression of this Fire Mist Warrior girl was gradually declining.

After all, no matter what the other party's reasons are, using humans as bait to lure the Red World Demon King is a very cruel thing.

If Yuigahama Yui had been a little later at night, the power of existence would have been completely eaten away by the unknown red world existence. By that time, it would be too late to say anything.

Regarding the relationship between means and ends, Hikigaya has always cared more about the means themselves.

If you sacrifice someone in exchange for a beautiful purpose, even if the ending is extremely beautiful, it is still just a fake.

"So, what do you want to say?" Gradually, Hikigaya's voice took on a hint of indifference.

"Compensation!" The fire mist warrior girl did not notice the change in Hikigaya's attitude, and said calmly, "You ruined my plan, so you should naturally make compensation for this! You must know that because of you, this city is not Do you know how many people will continue to be harmed by the Red Devil?"

...laughing to death.

Hikigaya had never been as amused by something as he was today.

It seems that although the name is called Fire Mist Warrior, it just sounds like a bluff. In fact, after getting in touch with him, he discovered that the opponent is just a human with some special abilities.

Because they are human beings, they naturally have the same weaknesses as humans, being too naive and slow.

So, let me, Hikigaya Hachiman, who has endured endless torture in relationships, teach you a lesson, poor child.

Let you know what is the cruel truth of this world.

"Compensation?" Hikigaya looked at the girl in front of him indifferently, "I think you should compensate me for this matter, right?"

"What?" The Fire Mist Warrior girl showed a surprised expression, unable to understand Hikigaya's words.

"Think about it for yourself. You allowed the danger on Yuigahama Yui to spread. Did you harm me, who is in the same class as Yuigahama Yui?"
