"I don't remember how lonely you were here, why?

"What's the matter with Miss Ayakawa coming here so late?" Sakuruma was very wary of Ayakawa, although she was the one who had saved her, she was not the person Mu Fengye had known before.

"Of course, I'm here to quit, Serina's training is over, and there's no point in me staying here. ”

"Are you leaving?" asked Mu Fengye.

"I'm going back to Kyoto tomorrow, but the Dragonbone side doesn't plan to let me do any tasks for the time being, and even I'm going to be stripped of my status as a member of the Dragonbone. Ayakawa's face showed a look of pain, but it quickly disappeared.

"Akiko, you were the black rider of the dragon bone before, right, why did they remove the fourth rider?"

Ayakawa paused, walked to the courtyard in front of the door, looked at the leaves that were frozen into ice all over the ground, and said, "Because I am not a qualified leader, they also have their reasons, because of me, the number of the fourth rider is one-third less than the other black riders. ”

"Did you kill them?"

"No, just chose to abandon them in the middle of the fight. ”

"Why?" Mu Fengye said in surprise.

"The weak are not qualified to fight, and if they are ready to fight, they must have the consciousness to die. It was not me, nor the enemy, who killed them, but from their weakness. Ayakawa crouched down, picked up a dead leaf, and removed the leaf, leaving only clear veins, "Secondly, there is their fear of death, the more fearful they are, the closer death comes." ”

"Then why did you save Mr. Nikaido at that time?"

"I don't know. "Ayakawa's feelings for Nikaido are unique, and she can't explain them herself, so she decided to stay with him, "Kuro used to be my subordinate, and his strength is excellent, and he is much stronger than the others. In the course of another mission, his team is in danger, and if he can abandon that man and attack him by taking advantage of the flaws he has exposed to the enemy, he may not need me to save him. ”

"Combat is focused, companions are either weapons or decoys, and the only one who can deal a fatal blow is yourself. ”

"He took the attack in place of the team, and in retrospect it was a tragic scene. Ayakawa let go of his hand, and the leafless leaf could no longer float far away, but fell straight to the ground, "But he didn't beg me to save him, he just dragged his badly injured body and continued to fight until he was knocked down by the monster again." That's when I suddenly decided to save him, I don't know if I was hot-headed at that time, or if I saw something in him. Anyway, I killed the obsidian monster and cut off its head. But before that, he was the only one left in Kuro's team of four. ”

"A few months later, he left my division and was appointed by the headquarters as the fifth horseman. Aside from the occasional simple mission, he did almost everything by himself, and I think that's what he learned from that fight. ”

"Companions are for abandonment. ”

"That's not right!" Sakurama suddenly shouted, "Nikaido just doesn't want to drag others into his fight, he's always been protecting his companions, not abandoning them. The lesson he learned from that battle was to make himself stronger, to protect the people around him, not to abandon them!"

"Sakura?" Mu Fengye rarely saw Sakura venting his emotions like today, and it can be said that he had almost never seen it.

But the past of the second order hall reminded her of Yang Xiaokai, although the process was different, but the purpose was similar, except that one successfully protected more people, and the other fell into the abyss after failure.

"I thought we could communicate with each other, but now it doesn't seem like it's going to work. Ayakawa paused for a few seconds, as if thinking about Sakurama's words, but she couldn't agree after all, no one knew what was going on in her game, what changed her?

"Akiko ......"

"Okay, that's it, I'll leave tomorrow, it's our last face before the next fight, night. ”

As soon as the words fell, Ayakawa's figure suddenly disappeared, her speed was far above Sakurama, and she was out of the range of perception before she could detect her whereabouts.

"Looks like she's really gone, forget it, let's go back, we haven't had dinner yet." ”

Sakura's heart was suddenly startled, and she immediately pulled Mu Fengye to the side, only to hear the whistling wind, and the impact of a heavy knife falling on the ground, and the dust was lifted away, splashing the two of them.

"Akiko, this guy...... Do you want to engage in a sneak attack?" Mu Fengye was so choked that he couldn't open his eyes, so he could only hold Sakuruma tightly, if the two of them were separated, no matter what the enemy's attack was, it would become difficult to deal with.

"Not her. Sakurama shot a bow and arrow, breaking through the dust and mist in front of her, only to see a red strange blade stuck in the ground not far away, "Sanuki Ten Nights, bastard, it's the Red Spell Master." ”

"Yo, meet again, two. The red blade disappeared, and at the same time, the iron gate of the courtyard was sliced to pieces, and Sanuki slowly walked in with his knife, no matter how you look at it, this guy is not a good person.

"Sanuki, what do you want to do? The alliance agreement between the Red Spellmaster and the Dragonbone has not yet ended, if you break the agreement first, you should know what the consequences will be, right?" Sakuruma pulled the bowstring and aimed it at Sanuki's head, but she didn't think the arrow could kill him.

"I'm sorry, this time it wasn't the eldest sister's order, besides, you two must die. ”

Sanuki waved his knife without saying anything, Sakuruma immediately gave Mu Fengye a color, he immediately understood, summoned Yuche to slash Sanuki's waist from the side, even if this knife was blocked by him, it was still under Sakura's control.

The black arrows shot out densely, and they were about to shoot Sanuki, who was confronting Mu Fengye, into a hedgehog.

At that moment, a crimson scythe fell from the sky and knocked down all the arrows from Sakurama.

"What?!" Before Mu Fengye could be surprised, he suddenly received a punch from Sanuki in the abdomen, if it was an ordinary person's body, a hole would have already been pierced, but fortunately, with the blessing of obsidian, the damage could be minimized.

"Amanoya......"

"Sakura, Mu Feng, I'm sorry, I'm not here to help you this time. Amanoya's face seemed to be full of guilt, she had fought with the two of them and couldn't bear to be their enemy, "If it was Shi Jin's order, I would have slapped her hard a long time ago, but ......"

"But?"

"Shi Jin is no longer the head of the Japanese branch, so I will obey higher orders, I'm sorry. ”

"Hey, Sanuki, what's going on between the Red Mantras?" Mu Fengye overheard the conversation between Amanoya and Sakura, and quickly distanced himself from Sanuki, hoping to get some answers from him, maybe there was a way to help them.

"I don't know you as well as Amanoya, and I don't have the authority to tell you the answer, this mission only needs to make you two disappear forever. "Sanuki's attack is quite fierce, not only a simple slash, but even a spell after spell, he is moving the real thing!

"Is it just the two of us? The Red Spellmaster really thinks highly of us. Sakuruma turned and shot an arrow at Amanoya, but her strength was not below Arakida, and it was effortless to deal with such an arrow, and she quickly moved to Sakurama's side at high speed, wielding a scythe and slashing at her neck.

"Whew-"

Sakuruma guessed that Amanoya would be faster than herself, so she quickly retreated as her figure disappeared, blocking her slash with a longbow.

"Uh......" There was a violent tremor from the longbow, and Sakurama could vaguely feel her little finger being broken.

"Amanoya, we can help you and tell me what's going on in the Red Spellmaster. ”

"It's a matter for the Red Spellmaster, I'm sorry, Sakurama, you just need to die obediently, and I'll try to make you painless. Although Amanoya felt guilty in her heart, she was enjoying the battle on her face, she didn't want Sakuruma to die, but she didn't want to give up the fun of this battle.

"Damn, it seems that this is the only way to go. Sakura connected to Mu Feng's obsidian in the night, and while dealing with Amanoya, she retreated towards the house, "Mu Feng, you should know where to go in this situation." ”

"That room. ”

"If you understand, you act. ”

Sakurama lifted the table and smashed it at Amanoya, taking advantage of her being slowed down, she flew up to the second floor, and at this time, Mu Fengye also jumped in from the opposite window, and the two met in the corridor, followed by Amanoya and Sanuki, who were chasing closely.

"Mu Feng, hurry up and get in!"

The two of them quickly ran into the room and expertly took out two iron rods from behind the two doors. Sakurama kept the door open, quickly turned off the lights when Amanoya and Sanuki rushed in, and then closed the door with Mu Fengye, and found Sanuki, the most threatening in the dark, with his familiarity with the room, and hit him on the back of the neck with a stick.

"Sanuki?!"

"Hmm!"

In the darkness, Amanoya's power suddenly disappeared, and he was pressed to the ground by four hands, and it was not until the knot that was tied by the rope that the two hands left his body.

"Hum~" The lights came on, Mu Fengye and Sakuruma sat down on the wall panting, next to Sanuki Juya, who had been knocked unconscious, this room had been fully renovated, and now it was an impregnable fortress.

"Why......" Amanoya struggled and wondered why her strength had disappeared, and after she realized that she was already an ordinary person, she realized that it was impossible to break free with this body, so she honestly quieted down.

"It's hard work to finally catch you, but it's good to have this room. Mu Fengye stood up, holding his knees with his hands and looking at Assawa Amanoya on the ground, "Okay, now tell us, who asked you to come?"
