The Adam's apple is rolling.

Reluctantly smiled.

"What's the joke?"

Do you look like you're joking?

Not like it.

Saying this kind of thing is really a look that can't look directly at reality.

Li Nian shook his head.

"Thought I was joking?"

Araragiri's reluctant smile froze on his face.

"Really, really, ......?"

"What you swallowed was the missing flesh from my arm."

Li Nian raised his arm, bent his elbow, highlighted the bloody wound, and asked lightly.

"Or do you think this isn't realistic?"

The flesh and blood exposed to the air involuntarily attracted Li's attention.

“……”

Still oozing blood, untreated, flesh exposed to the air.

Blood pooled along the skin, ticked, and struck the ground.

The nose discerns the smell of flesh in the air, as if it smells an alluring aroma.

I can't take my eyes off it.

The mind becomes trance-like.

“…… Goo-dong. ”

Li subconsciously rolled his Adam's apple and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Still wanted.

I still want to eat.

Instinct is telling of longing, and the body doesn't feel like it's pouring over this way.

He took a step towards Li Nian.

Then he woke up violently.

Immediately jump backwards with exaggerated movements.

Araragi roared.

"Really! Did you do such a thing!? ”

"Ahh

"Bastard! Why do this kind of thing! I—I'm going to spit it out! ”

Araragi began to pick at his throat, trying to force himself to vomit.

The reaction was the same as the first encounter with Lumia.

It's as if you're eating something dirty.

Obviously, the body is thirsting.

But it's different from the former, which has the consciousness of a man-eating monster.

The person in front of him thought that his recipe had not changed.

Araragi picks at the depths of his throat, triggering a vomiting reaction and trying to spit out what he has eaten.

However, although he kept retching, he couldn't spit out anything but saliva.

This is a wasted effort, Li Nian shook his head.

"If you want to vomit, you should have reacted in the first place, right?"

'Uh-woo-woo-woo......'

"I just shoved something into your mouth, and you swallowed it naturally."

"Whew......"

"Even if it's not my meat, can the raw meat of other animals be swallowed? I don't explain it, I don't seem to be aware of it, you don't actually have physical resistance, do you? ”

“……”

Calendar paused.

He was so tired and out of breath that he lay on the ground gasping for breath and keeping his head down.

There should have been someone listening to Li Nian's words, and now he clenched his teeth as if he was about to clench his teeth, clenching his fists.

It seems that he is aware of it.

I conveyed my own meaning to the past.

What Ara Liangmu Li ate was Li Nian's biceps.

It doesn't matter where the muscles are, what matters is that he ate Li Nian's flesh and blood.

Although it is a god, it is a human god, and it is still human in essence, Li Nian's flesh and blood.

This flesh and blood feeds the man-eating youkai that keeps Lumia alive.

Araragi, after eating such flesh and blood-

Nausea, nausea-

-- After eating the flesh and blood of the same race, human beings should have no feeling.

As Li Nian said, he had no physical resistance.

It's just very simple, very natural, and swallowed.

At that moment, it was a long time gone.

There is a feeling of satiety.

It was a very clear feeling of satiety.

Obviously, I ate the sandwich brought by Hanekawa yesterday, and I ate several, and I should have filled my stomach normally, but at that time, I didn't feel even the slightest feeling of fullness.

Now, because I have eaten such a small piece of fresh, flesh and blood, I feel it.

That's what makes sense of eating.

This is evidence of the fact that Oshino has been hiding from him, misleading him, and making him ignore.

That, terrifying, is the proof of the facts.

This fact made him tremble.

"As you can see—"

Looking at him like this, Li Nian said slowly.

"You've become a vampire - a man-eating youkai."

========

Araragi bounced off the ground.

It was really a violent movement, and as soon as the hands and legs were forced, the concrete floor shattered, and Araramu jumped diagonally backwards.

Fall to the ground and stand firm.

Then, turn around and start running.

Run away.

Evade.

Li Nian's drooping palm clenched violently, and a few wisps of flame leaked out from between his fingers.

Oshino behind him said suddenly.

"Don't stop him."

“……”

When Li Nian stopped moving, Hanekawa shouted the name of Araragiri and chased him out.

Quilokin Kada sneered and didn't speak, and Li Nian turned to face Oshino.

"What do you mean? Depending on the answer, I'll probably keep tracking. ”

Oshino tossed back the black bag containing the Heartunderblade's heart. While saying.

"Araragi-kun should go back to Heartunderblade."

"Really?"

Li Nian took the bag,

"This is not good news, this guy is now shaking like this and going back to his master's side, the devil knows what will be done, I have to catch up."

"There's no need, what you said is enough to prompt Araragi-kun to make a decision, even if he is leaving, Heartunderbladeur will respect Araragi's opinion."

Is this sentence against the will? Is it okay to lack the combat power of Araragiri? So what balance can he achieve without it? You don't want to see that, do you? ”

"The relationship between Heartunderblade and Ara Ryagi is not as you think, if Aragaragi really doesn't have a fight, Heartunderblade won't interfere, and if he himself doesn't have the idea of fighting, it is impossible to become a force against you. So, if Araragiri gives up on Heartunderblade, then I won't do much to keep it. ”

"But you'll mislead him."

And so he said it...... Alas, here, little brother, you have actually been mistaken about one thing. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Like Miss Squad Leader, Araragi-kun is also an abnormal person."

“……”

"You seem to have always felt that Araramu-kun is an innocent person who has been accidentally affected."

"Is this perception wrong?"

"That's wrong. Heartunderblade, whose limbs were cut off by you, did lose the ability to move, and it was Araragi-kun who took the initiative to save her from losing her ability to hunt. ”

“……”

"A high school student passing by saw a ghost with his limbs cut off, felt compassion, and wanted to sacrifice himself to keep the ghost alive, and that's the story."

"Are you telling a joke?"

"It's a fact.,Ah~~,It's true that strange people have strange physiognomy.,Like Miss Squad Leader.,Ara Liangmu-kun seems to have a weird spirit of sacrifice."

How can there be such a stupid guy - like that, although I want to say so.

However, I do feel that if it were that kid, I would have done it......

Therefore, it is impossible to say a negative word.

Li Nian was silent.

Oshino continued.

"If misleading is to make people deviate from the original direction, then, I did not mislead Araragi-kun, who originally wanted to help Heartunderblade. That's what he intended. ”

"But he's shaken like this now because he understands what you're hiding."

"Ahaha, yes, no matter how abnormal it is, it's just a mere high school student, and it is impossible to have any firm beliefs like you--but I want to say that even this kind of vacillating choice, no matter the outcome, it is Araramu-kun's own will, right?"

Li Nian pondered for a few seconds.

Then he said.

“…… If he really stood against me out of his own volition, I would have killed him. ”

“…… That's right. I'd like to say that it's completely unnecessary, but you wouldn't believe it even now. ”

“……”

"Forget it...... If Araragi gave up on Heartunderblade, all the preparations I made would be useless, and heck, I was really disrupted by you. ”

“…… This is the same as you said before, Heartunderblade is here to find the place of death? Matter? ”

"Yes. There are more details to be said about this, but there is no point in talking about it when Araragiri has given up on Heartunderblade......"

Oshino waved his hand. Go on.

"Well, that's all, let's not talk about this topic for now. You guys return your legs first, and then instead of me telling you where the Heartunderblade is hiding, why don't you designate a smaller area for the final battle? ”

"Don't you say it, do you...... No matter what you say, I won't change my approach easily, just do what you say. ”

Li Nian glanced at Quilokin Kada.

Quilokin Kada said lightly.

"Are you finally done talking nonsense?"

"It's been a long time to take me and Abisot to join them. Oshino, Heartunderblade legs, come and get it? ”

"Miss squad leader can't leave it alone, there are some things to explain to her, and I'll go over by myself later."

"Understood."

Li Nian turned around.

"Bishop, let's go."
