I would rather look up and face my parents.

I want to be a daughter who can be proud of my parents who are very capable

"I see."

After a while, Ah Ye nodded quietly and took a step back.

"You give it a go, not for others, but for yourself."

Anno faced Nangong again.

Nangong's face no longer saw the sinister and disdainful smile of the past.

There was a palpable hatred in her eyes.

It's a pure, unadorned emotion.

“…… Like you—"

Nangong stepped forward, holding a weapon in one hand.

"The guy who is weak and incompetent to give up his identity as a deer clan dares to make a big statement?"

With murderous eyes, she forced Anno to look at her.

"I'm the Nangong family. Born to dedicate his life to the dark authentic demon of the deer clan. It is the crystallization of blood extracted from the evil that is darker than the night, and the abomination that is thicker than the mud."

It's like a curse.

"That's how I ......."

Put on a posture

"How can you be defeated by half-tones like you who think you are human! Even if it's a dream, there should be a sense of proportion!"

Then Nangong screamed

rushed straight to the front, just like Anye, who had lost his mind before.

Seeing Nangong's appearance, An Ye smiled faintly.

In a fit of rage, she pulled her unloaded bow to full.

Of course, Anno doesn't have the technology to micro-control the volume.

No matter how hard you try, you can't play the inaudible voice of your mother. Whether it is technology or experience, Anno is far from enough, and he is completely inferior to his mother, who is highly capable.

However, even if the strength is not comparable, the technology is far inferior

Mother is not a natural master either. The reason why she can become so strong is because she is not afraid of hardship in order to become stronger, and she tirelessly repeats thousands, tens of thousands of self-harm behaviors.

It's the same with my father. His body was rigorously tempered, and there was hardly a bone in his body that had not been broken, and he was finally trained.

Case.

That being the case, as their daughter, of course, I have inherited their consciousness.

「…… Left hand!"

I don't have the technology. There is also no time to train. So what.

That kind of thing, as long as the parents of the young age make up for it with courage and perseverance!

Yasuno yelled.

Buzz bum bum bu

Echoing the wolf's howl, the shape of the wolf revealed its invisible fangs. The avatar of the stone lion roared and pounced on everyone who heard the howl.

Anye and Nangong's left elbow were torn off at the same time.

「…… Bastard, account!"

The traumatized Nangong did not flinch because of this.

"Die!"

Anno's consciousness became blurred for a moment.

She gritted her teeth.

A pain that ran straight through the door of the head. The smell of fishiness permeated the air. In terms of sobering up means, this feels quite pleasant.

"Two ...... feet!"

Yasuno shouted with blood in his mouth.

She grabbed it with her only remaining right hand and the bow and brought it to Nangong's ear.

Imitate the skills that my mother had shown before.

The bowstring, plucked with his thumb, made a faint "buzzing" sound.

Yasuno heard that voice too.

I don't know if it's a crack in the bone or a crack in the muscle.

If even I had suffered such severe pain

That means that Nangong's trauma is even more severe.

"Uh...... Goh!?"

Suddenly, Nangong lost the ability to stand and sank down.

Anye inadvertently remembered what Nangong had just screamed loudly about.

What weakness and incompetence to abandon the identity of the deer clan, what self-righteous human half-tone.

What kind of joke is it, it's too dog-eyed to look down on people.

Deer? Mankind?

That's right, if you are the Nangong family.

Then I'm Anye

"Don't ...... me"

Yasuno clenched his fists and aimed at Nangong's abdomen......

Instilled with the strength of the whole body, without mercy, with full strength

"Don't take my family...... Look at it!"

Chao Nangong punched hard.

"Huh...... Ahh

Nangong's body flew backwards.

I saw her hit the trunk of the tree with a loud noise, and fell to the ground.

And then – Anye glared at Nangong, who was motionless, and lowered his right hand weakly.

As a result of the full force of the beating, his fists and wrists were broken in a mess.

The pain in his leg was terrible, and coupled with severe anemia, Anno was no longer able to stand still.

"I did it...... Mom, Dad."

After muttering to himself, Anno closed his eyes and fell.

It felt like someone was helping me hold me up.

Before he could say thank to that man, Anno's consciousness had already melted into the darkness.

After hugging Anye, who was unconscious and unconscious, Ah Ye sighed softly.

With a gentle look in her eyes, she gently let Anye lie flat on the ground.

Pick up the left hand that has fallen to the side and bring the two cut-off surfaces together. Although it was slow, the wound was gradually healing. After checking her breathing and heartbeat to make sure there were no abnormalities, she stroked Anno's cheek lightly, and a faint smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.

"You've done a great job, Anno."

After muttering softly, Ah Ye stood up.

The grim expression on his face returned.

She glanced at the weapon wrapped around her left hand.

Then he turned around, ready to give Nangong a fatal blow.

「…… How is this possible?"

Ah Yexing's eyes widened.

The battle ended in less than a minute.

However, in such a short period of time

"Do you mean...... She didn't lose consciousness?"

Originally, Nangong fell under the tree.

Now it is empty.

Nangong dropped his left arm and disappeared without a trace.

The sun is slowly starting to set in the west.

The sky gradually flooded with a rare sunset in late spring.

Even the lonely house in the forest had a faint shade of red on its straw roof. Obviously, there is only half a month of absence, but somehow there is a feeling of nostalgia.

Even though this is not the time to think about that kind of question, I can't help but think to myself.

About 30 minutes have passed since the departure for the mountain.

Xia Jing and Ye Ya are now standing in front of the gate of the Lost House.

I can't help but worry about the safety of Lin Yu and the others who stayed behind. Are they safe? Are you still alive?

But now is not the time to worry about that kind of thing.

Because the war of Xia Jing and others is about to start.

When climbing the mountain before, he walked straight ahead of Anai, who was in the lead, and left Natsujing and Yaya.

I saw her walk up to the man waiting inside the door.

"I've kept you waiting, Miss."

Facing Anai who bowed

"Good work."

That person, Ye Chung, replied as it was a matter of course.

In addition to her, there was another figure standing diagonally behind Ye Chun one step away.

She is a girl wearing a costume with many bats surrounding her skull and a fox mask on her side head.

「…… Li Qi."

Ye Ya whispered the names of former relatives and friends.

Naturally, the other party did not respond. There is even no expression on the face.

However, Ye Ya immediately put aside his confusion.

The consciousness that should be done, and the things that should be done on this trip have already been decided-Ye Ya showed such an expression, pursed his lips and stepped forward, standing in front of the three of them. I saw that she exuded a sublime aura

"Sister-sama."

stared directly at Ye Chun, and then said in a resolute and firm tone, "I came to break off with you."

"Oh."

Seeing her sister's expression, her sister frowned as if she was unhappy.

"Look at the look in your eyes, it doesn't seem like you need to ask more."

"Yes, my sister. There's not much to say."

「…… Hmph."

Ye Chun scoffed.

"Really, once you make up your mind, there is no second word. You're really like a mother."

"Aren't you and I born to the same mother?"

Regarding Ye Ya's answer, Ye Chun didn't say a word.

Instead, she shifted her gaze to Xia Jing.

There was a hint of sadness on her face, but she still did not change the majesty of the king.

"Xia Jing, what kind of companion did you come here from?"

- My heart is aching.

No matter what, the other party is someone Xia Jing vaguely liked when he was a child. To be ruthless and resolutely refuse, even if you feel sad, it is human nature.

However, that is just sentimentality out of personal feelings.

Even if she was the object of her first love, even if she gave her feelings with all her heart, Ye Chun chose the wrong path, and she went astray after all.

Xia Jing faced the girl who grew up with a young appearance, and made her decision clear.

"It's a pity...... It's not you that I choose, it's Yaya."

"Really?"

As if he had been mentally prepared, Ye Chun lowered his eyes faintly.

But it was only for a moment.

She then looked up and smiled innocently.

"You must be emotionally shackled, right? After all, your personality is gentle. But...... The confusion will only be over today, and I'll help you come to your senses right away. You belong to me, and I will not give you to anyone."

"Sister, Natsu Jing is not something that belongs to anyone."

Ye Ya retorted calmly. But──

「…… Look, you're talking eloquently. As for the love between men and women, I'm not qualified to get an axe in front of you, am I?"

Ye Chun's cold gaze asked Ye Ya with a domineering temperament that did not match his appearance.

"I didn't mean that. It's just that you're wrong, sister."

"Am I wrong? Hum...... You've learned to be a fool."

The tension between the two men rose as the back-and-forth conversations grew.

It is not hostility or malice.

It's more complex, purer emotions.

It is a kind of helplessness and consciousness for the inevitable incompatibility between sisters.

Xia Jing was worried that the two would fight over this, so he couldn't help but put on a posture.

That's when ......

Sand sand – 「…… Huh?"

A young girl appeared from the depths of the forest behind Xia Jing and the others who didn't even have a mountain path.

The girl was panting and pale. The uniforms of the private high schools were stained with mud and blood, and no part of the body was white and clean.

Her left arm was slashed, her right arm was severely burned, and the two ponytails on her head were scattered everywhere.

"Nangong ......?"

Nangong, who was repaired and bruised all over his body, looked miserable

「…… Lord Ye Chun."

With a staggering footstep, he angrily called out to his master's—a friend's.

The other side.

One of the twins was robbed of his arm, and the other was robbed of his leg.

The severed limbs are kept in the enchantment, and the chance of regaining them is close to zero.

Sasha and Xiangxiang, who had all their weapons taken away, including the sword, sat on the ground leaning against each other under the watchful eye of Lin Yu and Lan Yang.

Both of their injuries were wrapped with ropes to stop the bleeding.

The person who treated their injuries first was Lan Yang.

Lin Yu was guarding the severed limbs of the two in the enchantment, muttering in confusion.

「…… What's next?"

It would be best if they could find out the route to the Lost House from the twins, but they would definitely not be truthful, and even torture would probably be in vain.

Just kill them and save them trouble. No, Ye Ya has forbidden to kill people and kill people.

Just as Lin Yu was thinking about what to do, the twins' Xiangxiang suddenly raised her head and spoke.

"Hey, can I have a discussion?"

"What discussion?"

The two of them obviously lost the battle but were not very frustrated, and taught Lin Yu to be a little dissatisfied.

"Don't worry, I won't take your lives. But ......."

Lin Yu was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Ah, that's true, Sasha."

"yes, Xiangxiang. Sister Nangong said it was right."

The twins' faces did not show the grim expressions they had seen in their previous encounters, but instead looked nonchalant, smiling heartily. Lin Yu was stunned. These two guys are completely unpredictable.

「…… And then, what did she say?"

But──

"Sister Nangong, did she tell Sasha."

"Yes, Sister Nangong said that if you can win, that's the best......

The next words not only made Lin Yu deeply stunned—even dumbfounded.

「…… But if you lose, consider Ya the patriarch and obey her leadership."

"Huh...... Huh?"

Don't you want to kill yourself or flee quickly?

"So Sasha Xiangxiang won't fight you again. Isn't that right, Sasha?"

"yes, Xiangxiang. We have to use the identity of the Nangong family and try our best to play the role of Ye Ya's sister's subordinates."

"I'm looking forward to it, Sasha, I don't know what will happen next? I'm looking forward to it."

"I'm really looking forward to it, Xiangxiang. I'm curious to see what the new patriarch will order."

"Wait...... Wait a minute!"

Lin Yu confronted the twins, who ignored her confusion and chatted happily.

"Are you telling the truth!?"

"yes, it's true. Of course. To us, Sister Nangong's order is absolute."

"We absolutely obey Sister Nangong's orders."

"But. In that case......

Did Nangong really give them such an order?

Incredible.

The woman who regarded dead leaves as a snake and scorpion and hated them from the bottom of her heart would never have said such a thing even if she was crazy.

Headache though, the twins don't look like they're lying, either. If their purpose was to deceive people into releasing them, it stands to reason that they would use taking Lin Yu and them to the 'Lost House' as a bargaining chip to ask Lin Yu to return their hands and feet. But the two of them didn't care about their bodies at all, and even squeaked and chatted. Although Lin Yu's rationality firmly believed that the twins were lying, he couldn't ignore their words because of this.

Lin Yu didn't bother to think about it anymore.

「…… What should I do, Sister Lanyang?"

She gave up her worries and left the problem to Lan Yang to solve.

"Hmm~"

I saw Lan Yang frowning slightly.

"Will you tell us how to get to the Lost House?"

Then immediately get straight to the point and ask the twins.

"Well, no problem." They simply nodded in agreement.

So the twins leaked the path in a hurry, such as "walk straight along the river from here" and then "come across an oak tree with vines and turn right", and the description was so detailed that people worried about whether it was appropriate to reveal so much.

However, whether what they said was true or false, Lin Yu and Lan Yang did not have the confidence to judge.

"Anyway, after handing them over to the sand, let's do as they say."

"That's right......"

I feel that this is the best proposal.
