The temples are like knives, and the eyes are like stars.

I always thought it was just those exaggerated descriptions in the book.

It wasn't until many years later that Kazama realized that in this world, there really is an eye that can shine like a star.

Just, life, gives you enough reasons.

The so-called light is nothing but a thing of hope, and the source of hope is the faith of human beings.

That kind of faith that guards everything, that kind of faith that does not flinch back.

It is precisely because of the protection that we will move forward, and it is because of the protection that we can do it.

When that flash of fate finally came, Kazama Yangyu also made his own choice.

Obviously, he should have been completely unable to resist, but he still stubbornly chose to guard and protect that ethereal future.

Because behind him, there is enough reason for him to block everything.

Light.

Brilliant light.

Overflowing from Kazama's eyes.

Brighter than the scorching sun, the stars are more dazzling.

But how can this alone, just a light, withstand that fatal flash?

That's a man, and it's a knife.

People still have affection, but the sword has no eyes.

With such speed and momentum, I am afraid that there is no matter in the world that can stop it.

That is a kind of consciousness that is either life or death, if the king is killed, if Jing Ke assassinates the king of Qin.

But...... Even so......

Yes, there are things that must be done......

If the material is not good, then choose the momentum!

If material things can't do it, then choose faith!

The power of the mind, in an instant, rushed out, at a speed beyond the reach of thoughts, lying in front of the wind and feathers.

Obviously, there is nothing, clearly, there is nothing.

But Kazama did see it, a shield of protection made up of faith and thoughts that looked forward to the future.

This is the hazy time, this is the chalk wall......

Kazama Yangyu didn't know why he suddenly remembered the girl he had met, and it was this ethereal existence called "faith" that was built to protect everything? The city.

As back then, Great Britain, on the shores of Fairy Lake.

However, now, at this moment, is the "chalk wall" forged by the power of the mind enough to protect yourself and the girl behind you?

Already, no need to guess.

Because, the answer has arrived.

With speed, and power, which is unattainable with the naked eye.

And just like that, straight, savagely, rushed over.

With the power to tear everything apart.

“de……”

Kazama raised his feather and heard a word, or rather, just a sound.

That is, before this flash, before the strike, it was released.

However, after a flash, it was only after a flash that it could be rushed.

The speed of that flash had already exceeded the sound.

However, it suddenly stopped.

It's like, a speeding Lamborghini, the moment it saw that beautiful girl, it slammed on the brakes.

Again, Luo Cheng, who whipped and rode on a prancing horse, suddenly fell into the quagmire of fate at the end of his glory.

But in any case, the fatal flash finally eased down.

Just as Kazama expected.

Even now, it has been inserted into the "chalk wall" of the power of the mind.

Even now, it's just, slightly, for a moment.

But it was at this moment that the power of the mind rushed out at an incredible speed.

Turned into thousands of silks, wisps, wound up.

It's like a butterfly in a cocoon,

In a moment, the life-threatening flash was tightly entangled.

However, despite this, the knife is still advancing.

With the same sharp momentum.

Tightly pressed against the shirt on Kazama's chest.

The suffocating wind pressure, accompanied by the sharp pain in his chest, made Kazama's chest almost crack.

But he didn't even flinch a step.

It was as if it were nailed to the ground, and it didn't move.

"Click~"

There are bones, the sound of shattering......

"Wait a minute......"

The belated voice, finally, arrived.

In Kazama's chest, before collapsing.

So, Kazama raised his feathers and heard clearly, the girl's voice.

A voice from the mouth of a maiden named "Nana".

Kazama raised his feathers and was slightly stunned.

The light in his eyes dimmed in an instant, with the momentum of dying.

But the brain, still running fast according to the previous plan.

Tough spells quickly flashed through my mind.

Chant quickly, done in an instant.

Suddenly, it turned into a red light.

Lightning flashed out.

The figure appeared.

The samurai, who were fused with the sword, gradually turned into a physical entity like an afterimage.

Together, his fluffy exploding head.

Then, with a "poof", a small flame sprang up.

It gives off the smell of burnt protein.?

A grinning smile slowly appeared on his grim face, and the explosion-headed samurai, as if relieved, let out a long sigh of relief.

"What a guy who is not afraid of death...... Thankfully......"

The words were not finished.

The Exploding Head Samurai suddenly sensed something.

Sniff and sniff.

Sniff again.

And then......

"Wow——!"

It's like being pressed on the chopping board by a pig killer and about to be chopped alive, and the expression that has just been relaxed is exaggerated again.

The eyebrows, like arrows, arched upward, with those jet-black eyes.

"What the hell did you do to me?! Say that you don't hit people in the head! ”

While jumping, he slapped it towards the top of his head in a panic, but the knife was still firmly held in his hand, as if it had long been integrated with it and was difficult to let go.

"Broken ......?"

Nana, who was still worried about her companion hurting the other party, was slightly stunned, and then reacted quickly.

In a panic, a huge fireball appeared in his hand.

And then...... And then she threw it straight at the guy she called "broken", and it was also a little broken?!

"Ah——!h

So there was a scream like a pig.

"Huh?"

Nana stared blankly at the flames that suddenly became more intense, and for a moment, she didn't even react.

Clearly...... It's water polo......

"That...... Wait, wait......"

Seriously holding her glasses, Nana quickly came back to her senses, and when she raised her hand, there was another low chant.

"Water Polo!"

The crimson flames, with a "bang", burst out.

"Huh?"

I tilted my head, could it be that I got it wrong......

"Water Column!"

"Bang!"

Still, it was a large flame, but it had slightly turned into a column.

"Mist!"

"Bang!"

"Water Arrow!"

"Bang!"

"Water gun!"

"Bang!"

……

It's like a film that keeps repeating the cycle, with similar plots and constantly staged.

Accompanied by the girl's coquettish shouts and crisp popping sounds.

Again, again.

Until, even Kazama Yangyu, a little unbearable......

"Oops...... Stupid Nana...... I can't help it......"

As if he had finally given up, the Exploding Head Samurai finally realized that the partner in front of him was really a bit too simple (stupid), and it was not obvious that he couldn't summon water magic in this kind of place......

Calm down quickly.

And then.

The hand rises, and the knife falls.

In a flash of cold light, the flames that had been burning all along, stagnated slightly, and in an instant, they quickly split apart and fell towards the surroundings of the explosion-headed samurai.

Reveal one, neatly ...... Block heads?

With the string of bright red numbers beating from time to time above his head, there was a sense of joy that was stronger than just now, and he was facing him.

Kazama's breath was choked suddenly.

tried hard to endure and not let himself laugh, but the flushed face had obviously fallen into the other party's eyes.

"You ...... guy"

Gritting his teeth, he looked at Kazama Raising Feather, and a cold light flashed in the hands of the explosion-headed samurai.

The jet-black sword, re-dodging.

"Break!"

"Uh......"

The cold light stopped.

The Explosive Head Samurai reluctantly turned back.

"Does Nana still know him?"

"Hmm......"

Struggling to remember something, the girl finally nodded with difficulty.

"I think I've seen it at the door......

Finally...... Remember......

"Huh? Have you already tracked you to the door? ”

The Explosive Head Samurai was slightly startled, and instantly became excited again.

I said...... Broken ......"

Nervously, he removed his head from the blade that was against the tip of his nose, and there was a tearing pain in his chest.

But Kazama's face still barely showed a hint of embarrassment.

"It's your freedom to assume casually, but it's rude to add strange stalker attributes to others like this......"

"Don't call me broken!"

Even more faux pas...... Reply.

“……”

For a while, he was speechless.

"But...... Isn't that what Nana calls you......"

"Don't call her Nana! Or I'll kill you!" ”

The air, slightly frozen.

The serious eyes, sharp and cold, made Kazama not doubt the truth of these seemingly joking words.

"You can call me Bunny~"

Hard, slammed into the head of the exploding head samurai, and Nana's face showed an apologetic smile.

"But ......"

Isn't "Bunny" your roommate......?

"Because I've already combined with her~"

Huh? Did you unconsciously say the words in your head just now?

But the point that Kazama Yangyu cares about is really not this.

"Knot...... Combine......?! ”

Is the topic of "lily" so open now? Just say it to your neighbor who is almost a stranger?

"No, don't get me wrong, it's literal, the two of us have become one, although, the character and memory are dominated by me......"

In his eyes, a faint sadness flashed, but with a trace of joy?

Kazama raised his feathers and opened his mouth slightly, and for a while, he was a little at a loss.

I wanted to continue to ask, but the corner of my eye swept away, but it was the eyes of the explosion-headed samurai who obviously carried the "I will kill you if I asked again".

"Okay...... That...... What about you......"

"A glimmer of heaven."

Suddenly...... It's a bit of a nickname, called.

The explosive head, which had turned into a square, was raised slightly, and a proud smile appeared on the young man's face.

"But if you have to express your admiration for me, then add 'Yushu is in the wind, suave, people love flowers, flowers bloom, white stripes in the waves, the prodigal son in the wind, super invincible handsome guy?' This prefix is just fine! ”

“……”

If spitting in this world can drown people, Kazama has the confidence to use the words of spit that has now come up from his throat to this narcissistic one? The guy drowned completely.

"That's ......"

Opening his mouth slightly, Kazama was about to say something, and suddenly there was a burst of pain in his chest, which was even more intense than just now.

It's like being hit in the chest by a small mountain, literally, from the front.

The whole chest, and even the internal organs inside, are about to be squeezed out.

Breathing, momentary stagnation.

Something, flashed through my mind.

At that moment, he suddenly understood.

That kind of pain was not caused by the "flash" of hard connection to the sky just now......

That is, Plato's Chain!
