"Ahhh That's enough! I see, I'll just tell you, but I'm not allowed to tell Yuxian."

Scratching his head in annoyance, Yakuya knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had to choose to confess.

After all the calculations, she actually forgot that Wan Yuli was not an ordinary person.

"Actually, ......"

"I just want Yustring to live."

His expression was softer than ever, and Yakuya, who was facing the sea breeze, looked in the direction of the horizon.

「……」

There wasn't much surprise on his face, this was something Wan Yuli had known for a long time, and for now, it was better to be a listener quietly.

"Do you see it? Also, since you can see the fact that I released the water, you should be able to guess the result."

Glancing at the blonde girl standing next to her, Yakuya smiled bitterly.

「…… Won't you regret doing so? But you said that the one who wins will become the master of the Eight Dances, and the one who loses will disappear completely, is that really okay?"

As if to ask this question on behalf of someone, Wan Yuli said softly.

"I won't regret it, so that's it."

Shaking his head, Yakuya looked a little embarrassed and continued.

"Because Yuzumi is cuter than me, isn't it? Although the way of speaking is a little weird, but the figure is also good, and the personality is quite gentle. There shouldn't be a man who doesn't like it, right?"

"Don't you think she's the most suitable girl to be the one with the name of 'Eight Dances'?"

Laughing happily, as if complimenting her.

"But...... I should have told you that there is hope for coexistence in the future, right? And now that I'm trying to find a solution to your problem, why am I in such a hurry to decide the winner?"

This is the most incomprehensible thing about Wan Yuli.

I have already told them that there will be people who will work hard for them, both now and in the future.

So what are they worried about?

"Ah, this......"

"Because of me, I want Yuxian to have the right to choose her own future!"

「——！」

(Really...... That's what it's all about...... ）

The future relayed through Wan Yuri seems to have made them have other ideas.

"I've never seen the man you said I was talking about, but since I can get the approval of Xixian and me, I should be a good guy, right?"

Smiling, the seemingly grinning Yakuya unexpectedly did not belittle Gokawa Shidao because he was a human, and made his own judgment fairly.

"But is this kind of future really the future that Yusan and I want?"

「……」

Wan Yuli did not speak.

In the final analysis, although it is true that the sealed elves will not cause [Space Shock], they who have lost their power are more like they have been imprisoned in a birdcage.

Every day, I share the only 'feed' with other 'birds', immersed in the illusion of tenderness.

Maybe that's too much, but that's the cruel way it is.

The price of survival is their freedom.

"That's why after hearing about your plan, Xixian and I didn't refuse."

"It's just that although the world you depict may be better, Xixian and I may not be able to wait until that time."

"That's why I want to leave the 'future' to Yuxian before I have to make a choice."

"If it's her, I'll be able to make Hachimai truly happy!"

Turning the hem of her skirt, Yakuya smiled.

"Ahh It's refreshing, it's refreshing, I've been holding these in my heart, and I'm also very uncomfortable pretending to be noisy with the evening strings every day!"

"However, you must not tell Yuxian, otherwise, even if you are an elf, I will blow you away!"

Speaking words that seemed threatening, Yakuya instructed the blonde girl.

"Hmm...... I'd love to say yes, but it seems a little late."

He smiled in annoyance, and an unreadable figure behind him stood up from the grass not far away.

"Yuxian, what do you think of Yakuya's thoughts now?"

Without turning his head, Wan Yuri asked the girl who came out slowly.

「——！！！！！」

Seeing the sudden appearance of Yusaki, Yakuya knew that something was wrong even if he was sluggish.

His face turned red, and the spiritual power formed an airflow that began to fluctuate violently, and Yakuya roared with some annoyance.

"Ahh!!hh Manyuri!! I believe you so much!! You're scheming against me!"

"It's too bad to say that it's calculated...... If you don't do this, and continue to indulge in self-sacrifice for the sake of the other person, is that the future you want?"

「……！」 「——！」

A word tore through all the disguises of the two, and both Yuzuya and Yakuya were silent.

"Let's talk about it."

"At least I don't think the name of the 'Eight Dances' is complete without any of you."

After leaving these words, Wan Yuri turned around and left with Shiito No, leaving the space for the two of them.

All she can do is create an opportunity.

Yakuya wants Yuzuya to live, and Yuzuya also wants Yakuya to live.

Only by opening up their hearts to each other can they find a common 'future'.

*********************************************************************************************************

As the evening approached, the breeze swayed and the setting sun painted the sea with a brown canvas.

"Sister Manyuri...... Sister Yakuya, they ...... Are you really okay......

Pressing the brim of his hat, Shiito showed a worried expression.

"It's okay, they just won't be able to accept it for a while, and after they say it all, what is there to worry about when they like each other from the bottom of their hearts."

Leaning against the wall outside the door with his hands behind his back, Wan Yuri comforted.

"Ah~ Sister Wanyuri, you are really bad-hearted, and you actually 'publicly executed' Yakuya."

Let out a 'snort' laugh, Shiitsuna said darkly.

"If no one pushes behind, they may never know each other's minds."

Anyway, there is no sign of spiritual power generated by the battle on the island, so her 'battle' is a success!

Counting the time, it's time for them to finish complaining to each other, right?

Stretching, Wan Yuli looked in the direction of the road he had come from.

Soon, living up to Wan Yuli's expectations, the two of them walked back hand in hand in the direction of the hotel.

There seemed to be tears on his face, and it seemed that his inner release was quite intense.

Coming to Wan Yuri's side, Yakuya said with a complicated expression.

「…… I want to say thank you very much, but you actually made me so 'miserable' and 'betrayed' me! This time it's a write-off!"

"Agreed. Whoever bullies Ya is the enemy of Yukyo."

「……」

It seems that they have succeeded in resolving the contradictions between the two sides, and they have also joined forces to point the finger at themselves......

Does this count as shooting yourself in the foot?

With a wry smile, Wan Yuli didn't mind.

"Looks like you've cleared up the misunderstanding, so—"

"With the name of 'Eight Dances', would you like to come together to see the future and world I have chosen?"

Stretching out his hands to the two, Wan Yuri sincerely invited.

Looking at each other and smiling, Yakuya and Yuxian shook Manyuri's hand.

"If you don't have a sunset in your future......

"Repeated. If there is no Yakuya in your world......

"Even if we chase you to the end of hell, we're going to blow you away!! 」

An iridescent halo reappeared on the three of them, and one of Wan Yuli's conjectures was confirmed.

……

(I always feel like I've forgotten something...... ）

Before stepping on the return flight, the blonde girl, who couldn't remember what was wrong, had to give up her memories at the sound of Yakuya's call.

Soon after, a trophy was delivered to Miku's home, and it became the 'black history' of Manyuri's life.

The envelope reads.

- To the beautiful or beautiful island beauty pageant winner, Miss Manyuri.
