For Mianyue Yiji, things came so suddenly.

Obviously, not long ago, I was still listening to the mutual ridicule between His Majesty the Moon King and Master - no, maybe it was just the Moon King being teased unilaterally.

However, in the blink of an eye, they were about to rush to the battlefield -- the peaceful daily life became the prelude to the bloody storm in an instant. It shouldn't be like this.

Why did the youkai on the earth come to invade Moon City? Even now, Mianyue Yiji still can't understand why the two races, who have no grievances and have no relationship at all, ended up in this situation of fighting each other.

But there's no need to think about it anymore, the only thing you need to know now is that the youkai are their enemies.

It's just that...... I always feel that there is something in my heart that I can't let go of my doubts. Having said that, Mianyue Yiji didn't express it, because seeing Feng Ji with a normal look, she could only hide this abnormality as if she was immature.

"Oops...... We're going to go to war."

However, the expression of Feili who said this was very relaxed, and it gave people the illusion that he was going to drink and enjoy the flowers next. This performance of his gave Ikki quite a shock.

If you want to say why, the sister who looks like usual, and the man who seems to be loose and loose have not changed as usual, in comparison, isn't it like a fool who is uneasy in his heart because of this?

"But until then---I'd like to have a few words with Iki alone, so."

Fei Li didn't have the ability to read minds (to be precise, he didn't use it easily), so it was naturally impossible to know what Yi Ji was thinking. Still, a thought in his heart drove him to say this.

His gaze was unabashedly directed at Toyohime, and the meaning was probably clear.

"The situation is urgent at the moment, and I think you won't be ignorant of your priorities, so I won't say anything about it."

And a woman as smart as Feng Ji will never be able to fail to understand Fei's fierce gaze.

However, it was probably out of anger -- after all, even if there was no malice, it was not a commendable thing in any way for a beautiful woman to show a blatant repulsion. That's why she said as she left.

"If you're going to woo my sweet sister or not—usually characters who do this kind of thing before a fight don't end well."

I don't want you to be like that.

There is a sense of ridicule in the voice, so even words that can be easily misunderstood as curses will only be laughed off as a joke.

It's just that for the man in front of him, this level of ridicule is not taken into his eyes. Looking at the figure of Feng Ji who walked to the side, he said in a tone that was no different from usual.

"Don't worry, I'm not trying to woo Iki."

After saying this sentence that really made people shake their heads and sigh, he turned his gaze back to Yiji's body.

It's just that I don't know if it's an illusion, but at the last moment when I retracted my gaze, that beautiful back seemed to stumble a little?

No, forget it, don't bother with it.

「――――」

「――――」

However, when the fierce gaze met that of Ichi, a terrible silence descended.

Iki was probably waiting for Feili to speak, but the man fell silent for some reason. But the silence didn't last long, not even three seconds to be exact.

There is no room for emotion now, although there is still time according to the information, but there is no room for yourself to waste. In this case, as an elder, he should also set an example.

"Well, what I'm going to tell you, I don't know what to say."

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was this kind of unproductive words, and even Feili himself wanted to despise himself a little.

Unfortunately, although he also wanted to say something beautiful that was deeply emotional and thought-provoking, he didn't have any ideas at all, so that his beginning was not pretty. According to Feili's mother, "Although Ah Fei usually has a good demeanor, he can only become very eloquent in battle. ”

Leave aside the correctness of this statement -- no, it must be true. Because that's what Bayi Yonglin said.

But for the current situation, it doesn't help at all.

Luckily, Iki is a good boy. Even if Feili's words were not flashy at all, she still listened attentively.

"Actually, it shouldn't be my turn to talk to you at length, because I'm not your teacher."

Indeed, Fei Li was not her teacher, although Iki's martial arts were taught by him. But there is always only one teacher recognized by the girl, and that is Bayi Yonglin. And Feili will always be just a coach.

But he didn't complain about it. It doesn't matter if the girl doesn't admit that he is her master, Feili is not a man who cares about false fame. He only needs to know that the girl who has now become an outstanding person has her own cultivation in the process of growing up.

"I just wanted to hand you something that should have a serious ceremony, but there are no conditions like that right now, so I'll leave it to you."

As he spoke, he reached out into the air and grabbed something out of the void. Something that is suddenly pulled out of the fluctuating space, no matter how you look at it, is a sword.

A sword that at first glance looks ordinary.

「！」

Unexpectedly, the moment she saw the sword, Yi Ji let out a short exclamation.

"Could this sword belong to Suzhan Mingzun?"

The pitch-black scabbard is unremarkable, this is a sword that has nothing outstanding in appearance, but anyone who sees this "ordinary" sword will probably be in awe from the bottom of their hearts. Because the divine essence of Taidao itself has been conveyed to everyone through appearance.

The ten-fist sword of the heavenly feather slash is also the favorite sword of the fierce master Susanoo.

"Do you want to give me this sword?"

"Do you need to talk about that?"

For Yi Ji's rare words with a little trepidation, Fei Li asked back in a natural tone.

But Yiji couldn't understand where this kind of naturalness came from.

"This is the armament of the three noble sons! It was given to you by Susanoo-sama! The only people who can truly use the power of this sword are His Majesty, Amaterasu-sama, and you, the rightful wielder!"

"So, now, I hand over the Ten Fists Sword to Mianyue Yiji in the name of Eight Intentions Flying Might. She is the new master of the Heavenly Feather Feather Slash."

Completely different from Yi Ji's fierce tone, Fei Li always maintained a calm attitude and finished speaking. But was he talking to Ihime, or was he talking to the sword itself? This is unknown.

"What's the point! This is the weapon of the gods! It's meaningless if I don't be recognized by it, and you're the only one who is best qualified to wield this sword."

For Yiji's painstaking persuasion, Feili did not change his mind at all.

"No, you'd be wrong. Iki, you are more qualified than I am to use this sword, and that's why I'm giving it to you."

"As the strongest martial artist in the moon, you actually want to tell me that I am more qualified to use this sword than you?"

"Not bad! Because I'm just the strongest warrior, not the strongest swordsman."

Without even moving his eyebrows, Feili answered Yiji without hesitation.

"Ahhh

"Finally understood? Although I am a martial artist, I am not a pure swordsman, and you are more suitable in comparison. The Ten Fists Sword is just a sword dusty to me."

"However, there are no other swordsmen on the moon."

"I just want to give it to you, I want you to take it, Iki. But, of course, it's up to you to choose in the end, and I can't force you to—but I want you to do it as soon as possible, because we don't have much time after all."

At the end, Fei Li smiled bitterly, and that smile was really incommensurate with him, who was always smiling chicly.

Looking at such Feili, after a short hesitation, she solemnly took the ten-fist sword from Feili's hand.
