"Choice......"

Sanae Kazuya raised her head and looked around, not knowing why a feeling of exhaustion suddenly appeared from the depths of her soul. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The people and objects reflected in the info pupils seem to be stained with a layer of lingering dust, which makes people feel decayed.

"There was a little bit of an accident, but I'm sure you should get the answers you need through those things."

Hakureyu looked at Sanae seriously.

Unlike Yakumoshi, as a human, he understands that Sanae will neither willingly give up everything from now on to return to human society to become an ordinary high school student, nor will he give up his desire as a human to become a pure faith aggregate. Maybe in the eyes of the youkai, this is just a boring act of dragging mud and water. But humans are such greedy and stupid creatures.

I want to make my wish come true. Even so, there is a reluctance to abandon something that underpins human identity.

Then, all that's left is to become a shrine maiden - no, it's a blessing.

Although Yakumo had fought with the unidentified youkai because Sanae had been injected with something in her body, it wasn't because her plans were ruined, but because she hated having her things set up being touched by others. That's it.

Even after that, it wasn't because Sanae attacked. It can be said that in the eyes of the monster sage Yakumo Purple, Sanae of Dongfeng Valley has never been an existence that will make her care.

That's not to say that Sanae herself is so small that Yakumo can't look at it. In fact, on the contrary, Sanae's traits have long been highlighted in the battle against disaster. It was a star of hope that even the demon gods would look at, shining in the dark night of calamity.

Only in this way, human beings, whose beliefs shine like stars, can be the hub that connects the two gods, Kanako Yasaka and Suwako Katsuya, with humans.

The reason why Yakumo didn't care about Sanae was not because Sanae itself was not worth looking forward to, but because the end of Sanae's path was not worth looking forward to—or rather, it was already predestined.

Sanae of the East Wind Valley will become the one who connects people and gods, and gathers the faith to become a god in the form of a human being, and the god of man - this is something that both Hakureyu and Yakumo Murasaki, and even Remilia have long foreseen. In the future, for youkai like Yakumo Murasaki and Remilia, it's just a book that you can flip through at will. Although it was not as wonderful for them as others imagined.

It is precisely because of this that Yakumo Purple really plans to leave the unidentified youkai behind.

Because in the future that Yakumo sees, there is no such thing as that monster.

------------------------------------------

Under the gaze of Battlefield Hara, Fujiwara Meihong and others, Sanae Toshiya raised her head, her face became firm, and it seemed that she had made a decision.

"I ............"

Just as Sanae was about to open her mouth to say the decision in her heart, she didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and her eyes suddenly fell on the hem of her clothes.

The white cloth wrapped around the early seedling ketone body had already become rotten from falling from the sky, and the original white cloth robe was also stained with dust, and the yellow soil formed one stain after another on the white cloth.

Sanae stared at one of the stains on the hem of her clothes, and Sanae's strange behavior was obviously unexpected by everyone. The battlefield was okay, Mei Hong and Hui Yin were both people who knew some inside information through Yakumo Zi, Sanae's obviously something wrong made them stop arguing about some trivial things while being surprised, and began to seriously observe Sanae's actions. Even Hakureyu showed a hint of surprise, and it was obvious that Sanae's behavior was something he hadn't expected.

However, the detective girl behind Bo Liyu looked a little ugly after seeing this scene, as if she wanted to say something, but she seemed to be concerned about something. He just shrank his body slightly behind Hakuriyu. But everyone's focus is on Sanae now, and no one notices the detective girl who was carried over by Hakuri like a kitten.

The silence of the wilderness became even more deserted after the absence of the sound of the crowd's conversation, and the silent crowd surrounded a silent girl in a wide white cloth robe, bowing her head and silent, such a strange scene appeared on the land full of devastation and ruins, like an oil painting, highlighting a trace of mystery.

Sanae stared blankly at the stain as if she was intrigued.

It was an unremarkable stain, with no Arabic numerals or some kind of square script from the East, not an English alphabet, just a whirlpool of wonderful patterns.

Hidden in that dark demonic power, something that even Yakumo didn't discover, after a long wait, finally eroded Sanae's heart, which had already been opened by accepting too much information, just as Sanae was about to say her decision.

A dazzling light pierced Sanae's eyes, erasing all the realities that were reflected in Sanae's pupils, whether it was the land that had been devastated by the battle, the ruins of buildings everywhere, or the people who surrounded Sanae.

Instead of being imaged on the retina through light from the outside, it bursts out of the shell of something that is more secret than the soul, wrapped in the black demonic power that looks like a living thing, and completely distorts the connection Sanae is about to establish with the two gods Kanako and Suwako, and links it to another place where Yakumo Murasaki, who has tread every hidden corner of the world, has never set foot.

Sanae herself didn't understand why, so she tried her best to open her anxious eyes and look at the unfathomable glare of light, so she saw the black stars hanging high above the heavenly eyes. The cold wind that seemed to blow from the lake stung her cheeks, and with the smell of dampness, there seemed to be a faint flutter of ragged robes in the wind. Although there was a sense of foreboding in her heart, Sanae's innate curiosity made Sanae uncontrollably look up from the yellow robe that kept swaying with the wind.

"Ah...... Ahhhh............!!!!h ”

In the eyes of Hakurei and the others, Sanae just lowered her head slightly and looked at the hem of her clothes for a moment, and then suddenly bent down and covered her face - no, to be precise, she should have covered her eyes and screamed loudly, this scene did seem to be a little wrong with Sanae, who had never shown how excited she was even if she was almost disemboweled.

"Wait...... What are you doing! ”

In the moment when everyone was stunned, Sanae's fingers covering her eyes were already bent, and she slashed hard into her eye sockets.

Hakuriyu, who reacted the fastest at the scene, instantly appeared next to Sanae and grabbed Sanae's hand to stop her next move. And the reaction was slower, and Mei Hong, who rushed towards Sanae, only had time to see that there was an extra hand on the back of Hakuriyu, who was grabbing Sanae to stop her move.

If it is to be accurately described, it should be said that a white and delicate hand penetrated through his abdomen, and without any bias, with blood and internal organ fragments, a flesh flower bloomed behind his back.

- If white is beauty

Sanae, who had bent down and lowered her head and screamed miserably, slowly stood up, and her mouth made a light voice like a chant.

- So who can compare with me?

The strange white plasticine-like thing that had repaired Sanae's horrific wound appeared again, but this time Sanae had no wounds on her body that needed to be repaired, so they rushed towards Sanae's face, only to instantly attach a pale and strange mask to Sanae's face.

"Who can compare with me?"

Sanae's other hand gently stroked Hakurayu's soft short black hair, and rested her forehead on the top of Hakurayu's lowered head like a lover.

“…… Yes, you are paler than I am. ”

As if receiving an answer from someone, Sanae's pale mask-covered face lifted up and turned towards the night sky.

I don't know if it's an illusion. A black star appeared in the night sky, which was slightly glowing as dawn was approaching.

- Your beauty is incomparable.

ps: In order to avoid misunderstanding, I mention here that this has nothing to do with blurring......
