"Drink!"

Facing the huge yellow-green mantis-shaped monster, the spear wielded the spear in Sasamaru's hand to prevent the monster in front of him from advancing.

"Switch!" Sasamaru screamed and stepped back, exposing the monster to Yuki who was asked to transform into a shield-wielding one-handed swordsman.

"Roaring ——!" The monster opened its hideous mouthparts, dripping with dark green liquid, dense fangs, and it let out a loud roar.

"Ahh

Despite holding a shield, Yuki was frightened by the monster. At this point, the monster swings its sharp scythe-shaped claws at the player in front of it.

"It's now, Yuki raises his shield! After parrying its attacks, cut off the monster's claws with your one-handed sword! ”

Kiriko, who had been observing Yuki from the sidelines, suddenly spoke, explaining in detail the process of defense and attack.

But apparently Yuki was scared and didn't do what Kiriko said at all. To see the claws of the mantis-shaped monster about to attack, but Yuki, Yuki has not yet raised his shield. The other members of the Black Cat Regiment on a moonlit night on the side couldn't help but shout: "Danger! ”

But he found that it was too late, and at this time, a black light flashed. It was Kiriko, who held a long sword and swung it upwards. Almost at the same time, the monster let out a scream, and its sharp claws were severed by a sword.

"Luckily, stand back for now!" Without looking back, Kiriko continued to attack the monster. The chilling sword light quickly slashed through the monster's body, and then the monster turned into pieces.

Because of the luck of training, Kiriko temporarily joined Keita and their team, so after the monster turned into pieces, a system settlement page appeared in front of everyone.

"Yay!"

Because the monster was defeated, the crowd cheered. However, Yuki is distracted now, and only Kiriko notices Yuki's abnormality.

Coming to Yuki's side, Kiriko seemed to know what Yuki was thinking. patted her on the shoulder and comforted, "It's okay, luck!" Everyone will be scared, it's nothing. ”

"But I'm ......" Hearing Kiriko's comfort, Yuki shook her head and wanted to say something. At this time, Keita and the others decided to crusade against the next monster, but fortunately they didn't continue.

Hearing Keita's words, Kiriko looked at Yuki, and suddenly grabbed Yuki's right hand, and said in a voice with a smile: "Let's go!" This time, I'll show you first, you're trying. Don't worry, I'll always protect you! ”

Following Kiriko, looking at Kiriko's back in the previous position, fortunately became a little relieved.

"Protection? Thank you Kiriko, I'll do my best! ”

As if with confidence, Yuki began to become active. In the next part of their crusade against monsters. Kiriko first went up to demonstrate the most correct way to deal with monsters, and then fortunately, under the guidance of Kiriko's voice, he went to face the monsters. To everyone's surprise, Yuki became more and more proficient.

In the end, Yuki didn't even wait for Kiriko's demonstration, and he stepped forward to meet the monster that came at him.

By the time the last monster near the Sunshine Forest was reduced to pieces by the hammer's hands, it was already dusk. The golden sunset also dyed the whole forest gold, and at this moment, Kiriko and the others seemed to be in a golden forest.

After that, Kiriko and the others returned to the hotel in the 20-story town of Punani, and after eating together and summarizing today's harvest, everyone went back to their rooms to get ready to rest.

And as if it had been acquiesced, Yuki followed behind Kiriko with an inexplicable expression and returned to Kiriko's room. As for the sweet smile she still had when she came back, why she had this expression now was because of a sentence that Kiriko said at dinner.

"Luckily performed very well today, and it was enough to be another avant-garde for your guild. Luckily, I don't need my training anymore, and I'm going back to the front line, so I'll be out of here tomorrow. It's been a pleasure to spend time with all of you, and I'll be there when I have time! ”

Although they were a little disappointed, the members of the Black Cat Group on a moonlit night all expressed their understanding and gratitude to Kiriko for their help, except for luck.

She was extremely happy to hear Kiriko's recognition of her performance, but when she heard that Kiriko was leaving tomorrow, her expression immediately became very depressed.

Kiriko is leaving? So I......

followed Kiriko into the room, and Yuki's voice suddenly sounded in the room: "Kiriko! Are you really leaving? ”

Hearing Xing's voice, although Kiriko was a little unbearable, she thought that she still had to liberate this world, and thinking of the news that Li Tong told her this morning, she felt that she was going to help Li Tong.

"Didn't you say you were going to protect me? How can it be ...... Boom ......"

But before Kiriko could speak, Yuki's voice sounded again, and this time the voice was a little hoarse and loud with the sound of crying.

"Luck!" Some were surprised that Yuki reacted so violently, and even cried sadly, Kiriko turned around, and looked at Yuki with some worry, a little overwhelmed.

Just after Kiriko turned around, Yuki suddenly threw herself into Kiriko's arms: "Don't! I said yes, I want to protect me all the time, and now ...... Boom ......"

Kiriko, who had never encountered such a situation, was at a loss, so she could only caress her back with her hand as she had done when she comforted her sister before, and whispered comfort in her mouth: "Don't cry, you're crying like a little cat." ”

Gradually, Yuki seemed to calm down under Kiriko's comfort, and then she came out of Kiriko's arms, and the pear blossoms looked like they were sorry for her.

"I'm sorry, Kiriko. I'm too willful, I just can't accept that you want to leave suddenly! Fortunately, her voice was still a little hoarse, enough to see how much she cried just now.

"It's okay, fortunately, don't worry, I'll come to see you when I have time!" Watching Yuki leave her arms, she slowly walked to the bed, and then wrapped herself in the quilt. Although she was a little confused, she seemed to have calmed down, and Kiriko was a little relieved.

Lying next to Yuki, Kiriko whispered: "Fortunately, it's okay, it's over soon, I'll attack this world!" Certain! ”

"Hmm!" With his back to Kiriko, he responded, and there was no sound, and Kiriko gradually fell into sleep.

In the middle of the night, Yuki, who was lying down, got up quietly, and she looked at Kiriko's sleeping face apologetically. She was so wrong just now, she actually had such a little temper towards Tongzi.

It's all because I'm too scared, yes! I'm so afraid of death that I've even thought about staying in the starting place all the time, waiting for someone like Kiriko to attack this world.

But because of Keita, he had the courage to walk out of the starting place, but because he was still afraid of being killed by monsters, he only dared to be the logistics in the black cat group on a moonlit night.

Until I met Kiriko, who is also a girl, she has a higher level than the Raiders group. Since then, she has been very envious of Kiriko in her heart. And when Kiriko said that she would always protect her, it seemed that there was no fear of death, and she could bravely present in front of the ferocious monster and give her own strength.

However, now she's leaving. Do you still have the courage to face a monster that can bring death at any time?

Quietly leaving the room, Yuki returned to his room......

By this time, the night was already deep.

The first rays of sunlight in the morning shone through the glass window of the room on Kiriko's face, and her eyelids moved, and Kiriko gradually woke up from her sleep.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of big watery eyes, which startled her. When the owner of the eyes got up, Kiriko realized that it was a lucky thing to get up early.

At this time, she seemed to have forgotten that Kiriko was about to leave her, smiling and holding a breakfast in her hand.

"Kiriko, you're awake, this is the breakfast I made for you with my own hands, you try it!"

Kiriko, who got up and lay on the bed, enjoyed the taste of someone else's service for the first time. And the breakfast made by Yuki himself also made Kiriko have an endless aftertaste. Taking the handkerchief that Yuki handed over, Kiriko wiped her mouth. Seeing Yuki's big eyes and some anticipation, Kiriko nodded immediately.

"Hmmm! Luckily the breakfast was delicious, if only I could have eaten it all the way to such a delicious breakfast, but unfortunately I was leaving soon......"

Kiriko's expression stiffened a little, as if she had said something she shouldn't have said. But Yuki didn't pay attention to her words, and when she heard that Kiriko liked her breakfast, she showed a happy expression, like a kitten who had been rewarded.

In front of the portal on the 20th floor of Punani, looking at all the members of the Black Cat Regiment on a moonlit night, and Xing, who was standing beside Keita, Kiriko felt a little reluctant, but she still left resolutely.

"Alright, let's go on a crusade against monsters! Although we don't have Kiriko's help, we have to work hard to do it ourselves! After all, we are the black cat group on a moonlit night! ”

Finding that because of Kiriko's departure, Keita, who was a little disappointed by everyone, clapped his hands and said cheerfully.

They then headed towards the Sunshine Forest outside of Punani, but Yuki looked back at the portal where Kiriko was gone, and turned around and followed everyone away.

Kiriko, I don't know if I'll ever see you again. I am without you......

Just as the black cat group on a moonlit night left the street, a man with a black cloak shrouded in his whole body stepped out of the corner, seemed to let out a strange laugh, and left in the same direction.
