"Okay, I'll wait."

Although he was angry at Ye Chun's words, Ye Ya's gaze never left Li Qi in his arms from beginning to end.

The wound spreads and erodes......

Ye Ya...... I have one, wish. ”

"If you can, can you please not look at me? It's a little embarrassing to die like this. ”

Li Qi was still smiling, and he didn't want to restrain his smile.

“……！”

Ye Ya hugged her.

Even if Li Qi didn't open it, Ye Ya couldn't bear to watch her disappear.

Ya stroked her head.

Li Qi's hair is so soft.

The hair color is different from Ye Ya, and it looks brown.

When he was a child, Ye Ya was dissatisfied with the fact that the two had different hair colors.

Why are the hair colors of myself and Li Qi different? Obviously, we are relatives and friends.

"I'm so happy...... I succeeded in protecting Yayye."

The voice was bright and cheerful. It's as if his personality is simple, and he doesn't have any troubles.

But at the same time, it has a sensitive and delicate side, which is easy to get hurt at every turn, and it is also considerate and gentle.

"Li Qi...... Li Qi ......"

"Summer view."

This time she called Xia Jing.

"I'm sorry about Lizi and classmate Fang Yuan."

"What's the use of apologizing to me, you idiot."

Xia Jing replied in a cheerful tone.

Despite the tears on his face – it was obvious that he was stubborn.

"Go to that world and apologize to the two of them, you don't have to worry, they will forgive you."

"Hee-hee, Xia Jing, you still haven't changed. People are so nice."

"Friend...... Such a compliment...... It's just a shame...... That's it. Stupid."

Xia Jing couldn't cry anymore.

「…… Friend, do you?"

Friends? That's great.

It sounds like a murmur.

Li Qi's volume began to weaken.

The weight in Ye Ya's arms gradually became lighter.

Is it blood, or tears?

It doesn't matter what it is. Whether it's blood or tears, it's warm and doesn't change.

Li Qi whispered softly.

- Ah, Ya.

Ya replied.

"What?"

- Looks like we're going to say goodbye.

"Someday, we'll meet on the other side. Before that, you should get along with Fang Yuan and the others."

──Really? Will we still be able to play together?

"yes. Of course...... Want to climb a tree? Or play hide and seek? I won't lose anything."

- Aha.

Li Qi seemed to smile heartily.

-- We're going to do the same thing as before.

Those were the last words.

The sound was gone.

The touch of holding it in the palm of your hand is gone.

「…… Sister, sir."

Ye Ya pursed her lips and stood up from the ground, stretched out her sleeve to wipe away her tears.

"I've kept you waiting, let's make a break."

There was no anger or mourning on her face.

Now, all that is revealed on Ye Ya's face is determination.

Sending Li Qi away, Ye Ya, who resolutely got up, and Ye Chun, who was bored and watched coldly.

Xia Jing looked at the two of them interactively, while thinking back to what Ye Chun had said earlier.

The daughter of a traitor.

That's what Ye Chun called himself.

And she also said that Ye Ya is the eldest daughter of the orthodox leader.

In other words, Ye Chun's real biological mother is Ah Le.

It seems that she was supposed to have been born before the rebellion, and was soon adopted by Ah Le's sister, the new patriarch, because her biological mother Ah Le was expelled from the village, and raised as the eldest daughter.

It stands to reason that it shouldn't be a problem. Because although Ye Chun is not the biological daughter of the current patriarch but a niece, she is still treated as the second patriarch and the eldest daughter of the family.

But Ye Chun somehow learned the news that her real biological mother was Ah Le.

In addition, she was infected with a strange disease that stopped growing.

As the heir of the family, he was unable to have children in the future.

There is also the fact that according to his own background, he was not qualified to become a patriarch.

However, others insisted on respecting Ye Chun as the second patriarch. Ye Ya, who was the most qualified to take over as the patriarch, didn't know anything about the facts, but innocently admired Ye Chun as her own sister.

Orthodox patriarchal bloodline, normal growth of the body. Ye Ya had everything that Ye Chun longed for.

In retrospect, this chain of misfortunes has been unfortunate.

The reason why Ye Chun took the lives of his clan as ants was this.

It's because it looks like an eyesore in her eyes.

Whether it was the adults who respected her as the second patriarch, or the impostor parents who raised her as their own daughter, even close friends.

She is disgusted by short-lived kindness, disgusted by hypocritical kindness, and despised by superficial respect.

So she is distorted, and the love of the whole clan distorts her as a person.

However, in order to get rid of the distortion, she chose to use her love for Xia Jing as a means, is this a kind of irony, or an inevitable result?

There is no answer to this question. It won't help to pursue this now.

It's just that

Although Xia Jing got rid of the distorted hope and sustenance for Ye Chun, he was taken away by Ye Ya.

Even Xia Jing was taken away by Ye Ya

may be the key to her twisting from serious to irreparable.

Even so, Xia Jing still couldn't forgive Ye Chun for the sins he had committed.

When she killed Nangong and Li Qi, she was ruthless.

The corpses of innocent people who died under her hands were piled up, but she did not apologize, but just wishful thinking to show favor to Xia Jing - that kind of feeling, Xia Jing could not accept it.

If you accept it, you will become a big liar.

is bound to abandon the summer scenery that he liked Shang Yuan at the beginning.

「…… Sister, sir."

Ye Ya stared directly at Ye Chunkai and said, "If you don't mind, can you allow me to change my weapon?"

"Whatever you want."

Ye Chun replied without hesitation.

Now that she has lost the opportunity to raid, it seems that she is ready to face Ye Ya head-on.

"Xia Jing, I'm sorry for you."

Xia Jing nodded to Ye Ya, who turned his head to look at him, ran towards the door, grabbed the backpack placed under the tree and folded back to the scene, then opened it and took out the things that were stored inside.

「…… What's that?"

Seeing the object that emerged from the backpack, Ye Chun made a dazed voice that was not so much stunned.

And no wonder.

"Take it."

"Thank you."

What Ye Ya inherited from Xia Jing was a terrifying machine.

The engine with the grip and the outer ring are covered with an oval iron plate with a serrated blade.

-- That's a chainsaw.

The blade is made of ordinary metal and is not made of hidden objects.

However, Yaya still chose it as her last weapon. She prioritized her own preferences, discarded the treasures left by her ancestors, and advocated that she should bring this thing with her.

"You want to fight me with that thing?"

"Exactly."

Before leaving, Ye Ya had said something like this.

- This is my ...... When he and Fang Yuan were truly one, the weapon he used for the first time.

In this case, Xia Jing has no reason to object. The only downside is that it's a bit heavy.

Pull down the starter as well.

The engine began to run, making an intermittent, muffled sound.

The swirling sawtooth unleashes a wave of cruelty.

"Sister-sama."

She put on a posture and confronted her sister.

Declare with an iron-clad attitude.

The fire of war between the two was ignited.

「…… Let's divide ourselves in a fair way."

The one who took the lead in launching the offensive was Yaya.

She shortened the distance between them with a sigh of relief, raised the chainsaw, and slashed it overhead.

Ye Chun dodged the attack with a sneer, bent down, and swept his sword towards Ye Ya's ankle.

Ye Ya jumped lightly on the spot and flashed the blade of the sword, and at the same time stopped the chainsaw that was swinging down. The original longitudinal slash turned into a diagonal slash in the blink of an eye, attacking Ye Chun's.

But this knife is purely for the sake of containment.

Ye Ya's gaze always stopped at Ye Chun's body soil, which took a step back, and launched a pursuit while landing on the ground.

She stabbed and charged from the front.

Ye Chun did not change his calmness.

With a sneer on her face, she took the initiative to rush towards Ye Ya.

Before the sawsaw's jagged teeth stabbed him, he leaped forward.

I saw her writhing and spinning as if she was flying on Ye Ya's head.

Ye Chun, who dodged the charge, landed behind Ye Ya and dragged his knife to slash at her.

「…… Woo!"

Ye Ya bent down and squatted, let go of the chainsaw with one hand, and rolled on the ground. After opening up the distance by rolling in the previous way, get up from the ground and stand up. It's hard to understand why such a bulky machine can move so nimblely. After actually seeing her show her hand, it felt like she was watching a magic show.

Ye Ya quickly faced straight ahead.

Ye Chun stopped the pursuit and sneered.

"I thought it was an inexplicable machine, but I didn't expect it to be quite powerful."

A large laceration appeared on her cheek.

The skin is turned outward, accompanied by heavy bleeding. It is likely that when the two of them mistook place just now, Ye Ya changed the trajectory of the chainsaw in an instant and attacked Ye Chun who was on her head.

But this chainsaw is just ordinary metal after all. Ye Chun casually wiped his cheek with the back of his hand, and the wound disappeared in an instant, leaving only blood stains on his face.

After watching the two of them attack and defend this wave, Xia Jing sighed silently.

Ye Chun's skills can be said to be very good.

In fact, Xia Jing and Ben didn't expect her to be so powerful. Her arm strength was slightly inferior because her body stopped growing, so Xia Jingyuan thought that once Ye Ya showed her true skills, Ye Chun would never be her opponent. She has repeatedly used strange tactics before, which is also the reason why Xia Jing is so prejudiced. However, judging by her swordsmanship alone—even minus the advantage of holding a sword that kills with one hit—the strength is on par with Yaya's.

In this way, Lin Yu is not only young but also petite, and he is not afraid to face the deer clan who are older than him. In other words, it's all about technology. Lack of strength also has a lack of strength to strengthen the way, as long as you try to make your body lighter, strengthen the instant explosiveness and agility, the difference in strength will not constitute too much of a problem.

Is the reason why Ye Chun will strengthen in this direction because of his sense of responsibility as the second patriarch? Or maybe you want to resist the strange disease that stops growing

Ye Chun smiled coldly as if he was mocking Ye Ya.

"But after all, it's just a weapon, not a treasure. Do you think you can beat me with that kind of unpopular thing?"

It's as if you're saying that the difference in physique doesn't matter, and it's as if you have the upper hand in terms of skills and weapons.

But Ye Ya shook his head.

"You're wrong, sister."

Ye Ya glanced at Xia Jing quietly, lowered her eyes slightly, and then raised her head as if she had made up her mind.

"I...... I won't lose."

「…… What do you say?"

"I'm not going to lose to you."

Ye Ya's tone was extremely firm.

The place she pays attention to is probably different from Ye Chun. Xia Jing could hear that Ye Ya was not referring to external factors such as skills or weapons.

"I can't be a slug, I can't lose. You despise life, you don't calm the soul of the dead buried under your sword, and you even treat Xia Jing's heart as nothing, there is no reason why I will be defeated by you."

It's a kind of reason that belongs to a more internal level.

「…… You guy."

"The so-called love is to go on with your partner and support each other. Cooperate with each other to adjust their pace and help each other in the same boat. And you can't do that. I don't even want to do that at all, I just think about myself - people rushing forward."

That's not anger, it's not sadness,

Neither hatred nor resentment.

It's just that in words infused with personal will, he said to his sister who had gone astray, "It's not just Xia Jing, there are so many people who love you. In addition to Mother and Nangong, the rest of the tribe also loves you very much. But you left them behind."

「…… I love to laugh."

In contrast, Ye Chun's reaction was emotional.

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about! What a match pace! What a solidarity!"

The tone was as if he was shouting insults.

"This body...... With this body that has stopped growing...... Who do you think I should go with? Am I leaving someone behind? The one who was left behind is clearly me! Aren't you the same! You left me behind! Leave me far behind, and grow up!"

It was like a scream.

Stop growing diseases.

The throne of the second patriarch who does not live up to the name.

The girl who can only turn all her misfortunes into love for Xia Jing screams with all her might.

But, even so......

「…… You are the one who talks nonsense."

Ye Ya remained unmoved.

She fixed her eyes on Xia Jing and Ye Chun, and at the same time rebuked in an unquestioning tone, "But it's only this kind of hardship...... Do you think Xia Jing will refuse to go along with you?"

「…… Hmm!"

Ye Chun's eyes widened.

"Why don't you believe in Xia Jing?"

At this time, Ye Ya's eyes showed a look of sadness.

"Even killing a woman like me, Xia Jing accepted it with an open heart. It's not just me, but Lan Yang, who is suffering from a strange illness like you, is no exception."

The sadness in her eyes gradually turned into a substance, accumulating in her eyes.

"You're just scared. You who don't want to believe Xia Jing, are afraid of being rejected by Xia Jing, so you choose to escape. So I'm not going to lose, I'm not going to lose to...... Such a you."

Ye Ya held the chainsaw in one hand and took something out of his arms.

"And...... I'm not alone."

Black iron fan.

It was the treasure that Li Qi loved to use in the past when she was still in her arms a moment ago. She walked towards Xia Jing and handed out the iron fan.

"I have Fang Yuan and Li Qi by my side. And there's ......"

Xia Jing quickly understood what Ye Ya wanted him to do.

So he took the weapon and scraped it with a golden branch. The weapon did not resist, as if he had hoped that Xia Jing would do so, and accepted the domination.

「…… Summer Scene."

As in response to Ye Ya's roll call, Xia Jing changed the shape of his weapon.
