Boundary wall, stage area. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 INFO Grand Festival Operation Headquarters, Lobby.

The cloister in the stage area has been dyed red by the setting sun at dusk, but there is no one there.

The red glass cloister in Yemen is full of birds, and the lively scene of a week ago seems to be all phantoms.

As the shadows of the minarets tilted and the palace darkened, the total number of people gathered in the hall was only about one or two thousand.

After confirming that the people who had been forced to submit a week ago and the "exhibit quota" such as Jack were not eligible to participate in the battle, the contestants gathered members who had not been attacked by the disease and those who had been able to move freely after the source of the disease in their bodies had been expelled, and even then only one or two percent of the total number of people was able to move freely.

Sandora appeared in front of the commotion, and then spoke in a resolute voice, as if to dispel everyone's uneasiness:

"The course of action for this game has been decided. Those who can act will be responsible for their own important tasks, so please listen quietly...... Brother Mandela, I'm sorry for you. ”

Mandela, who was on standby, straightened his uniform and read out a document with the participants' course of action:

"First, the battle with the three demons is handled by [Salamandra] and [NoName] led by Jen Russell.

Second, the other members were tasked with finding the 130 pieces of stained glass that had been placed in various places.

Thirdly, the person who discovers the glass must ask the commander for instructions and destroy or protect the glass according to the rules. ”

"Thank you, that's the policy of the contestants. This is the final battle between us and the Demon King, so please be vigilant and concentrate on preparing for the battle. ”

Wow! There was a roar of enthusiasm from the scene. Although the game is about to start again, morale has been boosted because the clear policy of cracking the game has been completed.

This includes members who have not yet recovered well, but now is not the time to show weakness.

In order to win the game against the Demon King, the participants start to act together.

On the other hand, the black rabbit stands above the palace overlooking the stage area.

On the rooftop, you can see the huge chandelier fragments that symbolize the town still falling all over the ground and have not yet been cleaned up. The Black Rabbit put his hands on his chest and looked at the minarets silently.

Her hands were trembling slightly.

“…… Woo! ”

"What's wrong with you, Black Rabbit?"

Yikes! The sudden sound made the black rabbit so startled that he even flicked his ears and tail. When she noticed her chest, she was startled again.

It turned out that when the black rabbit was not paying attention, Sixteen Night had reached through her armpit from behind her back and moved towards her chest.

"You're ...... What are you doing, you idiot! ”

"Rubbing your breasts, of course, Miss Black Rabbit."

The magic hand that is approaching step by step and the black rabbit who is fleeing in a hurry.

"Really...... Really! People think that Mr. Sixteen Nights' interest in this kind of lustful Mimi is really inappropriate! ”

"Humph! What to say! From the past, there was 'Rather than being a sneaky stuffy ** wolf, it is better to be an upright and open gentleman!' 'This kind of maxim ......"

"Not really!"

"Yes."

"Absolutely not!"

Creak~! The black rabbit retorted vigorously with its ears upside down.

"Actually, there really is~"

At this time, Bai Chen suddenly came over and interjected, and Stanley, who was walking beside Bai Chen, also nodded in agreement.

Sixteen Nights smiled at Wahaha, sat down on the roof, and asked:

"Really? I wish I could have met him. ”

"Hmm...... Trust me, you won't want to see him. ”

Stanley, on the other hand, kept nodding his head cutely, and then Sixteen Nights suddenly turned his head to look at the black rabbit.

“…… So? Why do you have a distressed look on your face? ”

Hey? Faced with the surprise problem of Sixteen Nights, Black Rabbit was speechless for a while.

The black rabbit, who felt embarrassed to be seen, turned his face away, and the rabbit ears on his head were slightly red.

"Also...... Nothing! People are just shaking because they are too emotional before the game starts! ”

"Oh? I thought you were trembling with nervousness because you were facing the big stage for the first time in your life. ”

After Sixteen Nights corrected this with a thief's smile, the black rabbit closed his mouth unwillingly.

Due to the "trial authority", the eligibility of the "Hakoniwa nobles" to participate in the Boon Game is usually restricted. Unless you really come across a particularly rare opportunity, it is basically impossible to participate in the Bounty Game.

Although the accusation of Sixteen Nights is right in the heart...... However, this is not a reason for Black Rabbit to feel depressed.

"Say...... It would be a lie to say that I wasn't nervous, but we were the Moon Rabbits and the Queens. Once you really join the battle, the blood in your body should naturally adapt to the battle. ”

"Oh? Meaning you're shaking for something else? ”

Although Sixteen Night's tone was relaxed, the black rabbit's expression was stiff.

She lowered her ears and eyes, expressing her inner thoughts as if she were drilling into the horns of a bull.

"Actually, people are thinking about the community...... And Miss Asuka who was captured. ”

"What?"

"In the event of defeat in this game, we [NoName] will essentially collapse completely, leaving only the children in the base. The thought of those children being left alone ...... People just ...... I can't control my uneasiness......"

The black rabbit bit its lip, and the rabbit ears fell down.

However, this is also a reality that makes people simply give up. The parent bird was attacked by a natural disaster called the Demon King, and all the young birds were wiped out. This is not an uncommon occurrence in Hakoniwa...... Instead, it was Miss Asuka and Miss Yao, which made the family feel even more upset. ”

The black rabbit with an inexplicable open-minded tone suddenly looked into the distance and asked:

"Sixteen Nights, Stanley, and Mr. Hakuchen, do you remember the advice that Lord Hayasha said?"

"Advice?"

"That's what I said to Miss Asuka and Miss Yao, 'Before challenging the Demon King, let's increase our strength. With the strength of the two of you, you can't survive the game of the Demon King'. ”

By the end, the black rabbit's tone naturally began to tremble.

A month after the trio came to Hakoiwa. Until the "Fire Dragon Birth Festival", Black Rabbit didn't take that advice seriously, and only introduced some gift games that can maintain the life of the community to everyone.

Even if they have the highest level of talent, just participating in that kind of game will not improve their strength.

All three are willing to assist in reclaiming the name, flag, and companions of the community one day in the future.

The kindness of the comrades who directly agreed to help with a smile without making any difficult demands has been trampled on to this day.

"To this day, people have not taken that advice seriously, and have been blinded by the infinite possibilities of you...... Over the course of the month, you have brought many blessings to NoName, bringing about a dramatic change in your life. We are no longer bothered by a lack of water, and we have less trouble trying to get food. There is no longer a situation where I feel sorry for seeing children hungry and complaining. ”

“……”

"When you defeat the former Demon King Arger and reclaim Lord Laeticia...... People really feel that there is a broad road in front of them. Originally, we were just a community that had no hope for the future until the day before, and could only desperately maintain the status quo...... However, at that time, people even had the illusion that everything seemed to be raining over. ”

The black rabbit stared at the distant sunset and confessed his feelings at that time.

That's right, the companions who were taken away returned. It's a small step, but it's a real step forward.

Community time, which had been stagnant for three years, finally began to flow.

Seeing hope, the future begins to develop in a good direction, and the next thing is to move forward...... Black Rabbit thinks so.

“…… When I learned that we were going to advocate 'Down with the Demon King,' I was very touched by how reliable you are. And yet because of that! We should have a long-term plan! And there should be a lot of things, but I can only tell you about the black rabbit who was born and raised in this box garden where gods and Buddhas gather! Obviously, this is the case, but before the confrontation with the Demon King, no one has established a plan, just enjoys a stable life, and the consequence is ......! ”

Asuka was caught.

Because he felt that he was too unproductive, the black rabbit suddenly wanted to cry. In the face of them who once said that "the center of the community is the black rabbit", even if they say that they have ruined the minds of the three of them, it is not an excessive accusation.

“…… All three of them have excellent talents in different directions, which can be guaranteed by the name of the emperor's dependents. However, those are the powers that belong to you...... It is not something that the community can monopolize. At the end of the day, people are just relying on your kindness. ”

That's right, that's it, they're all kind. The Black Rabbit whispered.

Say something because they're having fun doing it, and say something because it's fun to help.

Although all add some self-centered reasons...... Yet, at all, they never misunderstood the definition of justice.

So it made the black rabbit feel very sorry for the birds and others.

The black rabbit raised its head, straightened its ears, and faced Sixteen Nights.

“…… Everyone, there is something that people want to ask of you, are you willing to listen? ”

"If you just listen to it, that's fine...... What's up? ”

"Can you let someone else be the opponent of the Demon King?"

The black rabbit, who hides his quiet anger under his sincere attitude, bows his head to Sixteen Nights.

"People know that Mr. Sixteen Nights has been looking forward to playing with the Demon King for a long time. However, in any case...... Everyone wants to take revenge on the demon king, otherwise they can't be reconciled. ”

The Black Rabbit's hair began to fluctuate because of his fighting spirit.

The black hair was shrouded in a light red light, and his whole body exuded a strong fighting spirit worthy of being a family member of the military god.

Sixteen Nights glanced at such a black rabbit and snorted.

"Do you have a chance of winning?"

"Yes. No, it's correct to say that people have the most effective gifts for the Demon King. Even if they die together, they will definitely take down the head of the Demon King-"

"In that case, dismiss."

Sixteen Nights made a decision at once.

"Well, I'm going to warm up too."

Stanley also said a word next to him.

Sixteen Night pressed his finger to the lips of the black rabbit who was in a hurry to refute, and smiled as if he couldn't stand it.

"You're too pessimistic, Black Rabbit. The situation is not as bad as you think, have you forgotten the other person's purpose? 'I want to get as many good people as possible' – that's what they're trying to do. In that case, those guys will inevitably aim for the end of time and adopt a negative time-consuming tactic...... And this will also become their flaw. ”

The black rabbit gasped as if he had suddenly realized.

"Those guys have to protect the stained glass without getting knocked down themselves. However, defensive warfare inevitably requires more manpower, so it is natural for the other side to act on its own. ”

"We're going to take this opportunity to break ...... Is it? ”

"That's right. Ha! The light of the head will be a big plus! Black Rabbit! ”

Sixteen Nights smiled and pulled the black rabbit's rabbit ears towards him.

"First of all, you and Sandora are responsible for actually locking down the Black Death Spotted Demon King. During this time, Laeticia and I were in charge of taking down Weser and Ratin. Then, while the main force is gathered, use your trump card to give her the final blow - this should be the best way to win. ”

The Black Rabbit, who admired the specific battle of Sixteen Nights, blinked and seemed surprised.

"The ...... Indeed, this is a winning strategy. But Mr. Sixteen Nights...... Is that really good? ”

"It's not bad, anyway, there will be a chance to fight with other demon kings, so I'll give it to you this time. Let me appreciate the strength of the Emperor's family. ”

Sixteen Nights grinned, and the Black Rabbit also responded forcefully:

"People get it. At that time, please take a closer look at the power of the 'Moon Rabbit' that will go to the moon under the guidance of Lord Shakti. ”

"Ahem."

At this time, Stanley, who had been watching Sixteen Nights and the Black Rabbit ignoring his own words, suddenly coughed twice, and then when the Black Rabbit looked at him after Sixteen Nights, Stanley spoke

"I remember I said I wanted to warm up."

"What's wrong?"

Sixteen Nights didn't take it to heart when he heard what Stanley said, because in Sixteen Nights' thoughts, with Stanley's strength, he should be able to end the battle easily, so Stanley shouldn't be a random attack by someone who is much weaker than him.

"It's actually because of you!"

Listening to Stanley's mournful eyes staring at him, Sixteen Nights shuddered.

"Forget it, don't explain, you'll understand when the time comes."

As if he understood what Sixteen Nights was thinking, Stanley sighed and said

"I'll leave the one named Weser to me, and you and Leticia can go directly to the Demon King."

"What about Latin? Bai Chen is in charge? ”

Sixteen Nights looked at Bai Chen suspiciously.

Could it be that Bai Chen has changed sex?

"I'm going to steal for a while."

Seeing Sixteen Night's gaze, Bai Chen ran away directly.

"Of course, Asuka will solve it."

“？”

"See for yourself then."

Stanley didn't bother to explain, and then Bai Chen suddenly ran back and suddenly said to the black rabbit

"Actually, now you don't have to worry about Asuka and Yao, they can face the current demon king after this battle."

Bai Chen also deliberately paused in the word "now", and after saying this, Bai Chen quickly ran away, leaving only Stanley, who was sitting in a daze, and Sixteen Nights and Black Rabbit, who were watching Bai Chen's departure and thinking.

……

"I feel like someone is beating my idea, who could it be?"

A dark-haired teenager paused suddenly.

"Hey! Still can't fight? ”

There was a shout in the distance, and the black-haired boy's thoughts drifted back to nowhere.

"Oh, here it is!"

The black-haired boy hurriedly inserted his hand into the earth, and then ignored the gravitational pull of the planet, stepped directly on his feet in the air, bent his legs slightly, and threw the planet under his feet directly to another planet that he threw in the direction above his head.
