As for the sand, it is left on the mountain road for just in case.

However, the "what if" here refers to a situation where there must be no escape.

So her job is only to assist in the escape and provide transportation.

The amazing thing is that everyone, including Xia Jing, has a very calm expression.

Of course, this battle may well be the final one.

Everyone was nervous.

However, there is a sense of enlightenment in everyone's heart, as if they have broken through their confusion.

In the end, I can only do my best to give it a go.

Whether it is Lan Yang, who has only recently started to contact the battle, and his skills have not been perfected.

As the guardian of the family, Lin Yu, who has been trained since childhood.

Growing up in human society, Anno, whose strength is far inferior to his mother's.

Shouldering the heavy responsibility of the second daughter of the family, Ye Ya works harder than anyone else to make herself stronger.

Even Xia Jing is the same.

Not only is the strength uneven, but there are also many people who are not good at martial arts and swords, even so, I am afraid that everyone still chooses to believe that each other's questions will not be pulled back.

I didn't hear anyone say anything like "come on" or "don't be too nervous". There's no need for that.

Everyone stood there in silence.

The reason is because the message brought by Ye Chun wrote such a sentence: - When the time comes, someone will be sent to lead the way.

There is no need to talk, and everyone knows who that person is referring to.

After waiting for about ten minutes.

The man slowly emerged from the mountain.

The dress was covered with a Western-style apron, and it was dressed like a traditional waiter. For girls, they are slightly taller than average. On the fair face, there is a face with delicate facial features but an expressionless face.

I saw her with her long pale hair tied behind her head, bowing respectfully.

"Welcome, Welcome, Welcome. Lord Yaya."

Ye Ya answered her in a suppressed voice.

"Thank you, Ana."

Xia Jing couldn't help but look away, and Lan Yang's reaction was probably the same.

Anai – Sister – Charya.

Obviously, people are close in front of you, but it feels as far away as the ends of the world.

Xia Jing didn't know whether to treat her as an anai or as a sister, no matter what, she was already a maid who belonged to Ye Chun. What Xia Jing and the others said didn't mean anything to her.

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

Be aware of your priorities.

It would be better to leave her question to Ye Chun and then think about it after they have made a decision.

"Ana."

Xia Jing deliberately called her sister by her name as a maid.

At this time, he glanced at Lan Yang-eye, hoping that she could also understand her feelings.

「…… Please lead the way and lead us to Ye Chun."

"Yes, Lord Natsukei."

My sister also addresses Xia Jing with an honorific title.

"Please come with me."

Anai turned around and left. The crowd looked at each other silently and followed her.

The group went deep into the mountains.

If there are no accidents, the journey should be thirty or forty minutes long.

The Lost House is at the end of the road.

The place where Ye Ya and the others lived in the past is now used as a base by Ye Chun, and it is also the current destination of Xia Jing and his party.

After all, this time it was to smash Huanglong directly, and it was the enemy who took the initiative to place the battle post, Xia Jing and his party had already been mentally prepared, and this trip could not be smooth sailing. There must have been some kind of trap set halfway through the way – it was only right to be wary.

However, the truth was completely unexpected by the group.

I couldn't help but laugh when I waited there so openly—after climbing the mountain road for five minutes, when Lin Yu saw the two of them appear, this was the first thing that came to mind.

"Good afternoon, big brothers, big sisters."

"Big brothers, big sisters, good afternoon."

Next to the stream that runs through the forest, on mossy rocks.

Sasha and Xiangxiang, who were sitting on the top and waiting for a group of people to pass by, waved innocently when they saw Xia Jing and the others appearing.

Everyone immediately put on a posture of Xia Jing. Lin Yu is no exception. She raised her hands in front of her heart, her knees sinking down to lower her center of gravity, putting herself in a state ready to attack.

In the face of Lin Yu and others, who were very well guarded, the twins still did not change their innocent smiles.

"Don't be so nervous, big brothers, big sisters. Isn't that right, Sasha?"

"yes, Xiangxiang. We'll show our real skills and take your time with you."

「…… Hey."

Xia Jing took a step forward and confronted the twins.

Confused, he asked, "Are you two the only ones staying here?"

"That's right."

The two of them replied in unison, and the sound of the murmuring stream came into their ears.

Lin Yu couldn't help frowning.

- What's going on?

According to the original prediction, if the enemy takes the initiative to meet the battle, it should be poured out. Otherwise, it is not excluded that the other party will set a trap to disperse our manpower, and then break them in order.

Xia Jing and the others had already planned the way of fighting in advance, so that they could respond on the spot no matter what happened in any situation, but they didn't expect the situation in front of them at all.

"You're here to scout?"

Lin Yu couldn't help but ask, "Or is there other ambush soldiers in ambush?"

The twins sat on the rocks and swung their feet back and forth, giggling at Lin Yu's question.

"Oh, what are you talking about?"

"That's right. What are you talking about? There are no ambushes."

"We will show Suzuka's spirit and duel head-to-head with dignity. Isn't that right, Sasha?"

"Yes, Xiangxiang. Although it is not in line with the family's style of acting...... But we're going to duel head-to-head with dignity."

「…… Have you two had enough trouble?"

Lin Yu couldn't help but get angry.

In the face of five opponents, only two of them dared to speak out.

If they were really here to fight, did they really think they had a chance of winning? Are you kidding! Even if the twins work together perfectly, they can't make up for the disadvantage in numbers. Not to mention that Ye Ya once won the two of them alone.

Facing the furious Lin Yu,

"Ahh

"By the way, there was something I forgot to mention."

"The patriarch wants us to bring you a message." ∣

"Bring you a message."

As if they had suddenly remembered something, the twins said something that made Xia Jing and the others panic.

"Ugh...... You want to use crowd tactics, or send people to stay while the rest move on, the choice is yours."

"It's your freedom to choose. However, if the former is chosen, the firepower will be completely locked on Ye Ya alone...... That's what the patriarch said."

Everyone immediately became nervous.

The reason for the nervousness is not only because of the rumors.

The girl on the right hand side of the front, presumably Xiangxiang, slowly pulled out an inconspicuous blade from her bosom.

The knife was not large, and the white wood used to hold it was not called a scabbard, and the blade was only the length of a normal carving knife.

But nine times out of ten, that's ......

「…… A sword?"

"That's right, big brother. If you plan to bully us together, we'll use this thing to attack Sister Yaya. Only attacked Sister Ye Ya alone. Isn't that right, Sasha?"

"yes, Xiangxiang. I don't know how long Sister Ye Ya can last? How many people will be sacrificed before killing us? I'm looking forward to it."

Such an arrangement is not so much cunning as sinister.

To put it bluntly, Ye Chun is trying to force us to make a choice here.

First, he did not hesitate to put Ye Ya in danger, but still insisted that everyone go to Ye Chun to fight together.

Second, the troops are divided into two ways in order to avoid risks.

Such a choice is simply vexatious and staggering.

If the former is chosen, even if no one is sacrificed, it will definitely cause a huge consumption to all employees. Having said that, if the latter is chosen, the combat power of the finding side will indeed be weakened. After all, only Anai knows how to get to the Lost House. Those who were left behind would inevitably not be able to reach the lost home where Ye Yachun was.

──What should I do?

Fighting twins is a danger in itself. Since the opponent has a fragment of the sword, he only needs to inflict minor abrasions to kill his man. Xia Jing instantly thought of a way that could actually allow Ye Ya, the key person on our side, to hide under the umbrella of the glass enchantment, but Ye Ya would definitely not be able to accept such an approach. She didn't have the boring interest of hiding alone in a safe zone and watching her companions die.

Moreover, it is not certain whether the other party really only locked on Ye Ya to attack alone. It could also be a big hit. If the opponent switches the attack target to someone else after setting up the formation with Ye Ya as the center...... Ye Chun's arrangement is tantamount to forcing them to measure the value of their lives.

For Ye Chun, the twins may be like abandoned children, even if she dies, she will not be in pain. On the other hand, we do not allow anyone to die in battle, nor do we want anyone to die in battle.

Ye Chun grasped this weakness.

Lin Yu endured his anger and pretended to inadvertently turn his gaze to Lan Yang.

Lan Yang, who noticed the sight, also looked at her and nodded slightly.

Both of them had the same thing on their minds.

「…… Sister Ye Ya, Brother Xia Jing."

Therefore, Lin Yu volunteered to Ye Ya and the others, "I'll leave it to me and Sister Lanyang here."

"Lin Yu, what are you talking about......

"I mean, the ridiculous twins are up to the two of us."

"Hey, you two slow down."

Xia Jing interrupted from the side.

This human being is really in the way—Lin Yu thought to himself with deep feelings.

The nosy personality is really annoying. And the annoying thing is that he obviously always treats me like a child. Seriously, I can't forgive him for suddenly appearing out of nowhere and snatching Sister Yaya.

That's it from the first meeting.

It was a nagging lecture, a birthday present, and he blamed me for not warning him for killing Qiu Yin by mistake, but he never blamed me for it.

- Ah, yes.

It's just a human being. Worthless human beings. Obviously, I hate humans so much.

Why do I like him so much?

"Shut up, you gutsless four-eyed chicken."

"Who's the guts of the four-eyed pheasant!"

"I'm talking about you. And didn't you hear me telling you to shut up?"

「…… Woo......!"

"Sister Ya."

Lin Yu ignored Xia Jingling, who was so angry, that he knelt down in front of Ye Ya.

"Summer view."

Seeing this, Lan Yang also did the same, kneeling in front of Xia Jing.

Obviously he didn't say it in advance, but Lan Yang was able to cooperate with him seamlessly, this person was indeed trustworthy - Lin Yu thought to himself with a smile on his face.

We are Lin Yu and Lan Yang.

Can you take responsibility for advancing your mission...... Leave it to the two of us?"

Not as the guardian of the family.

Not as the head of a separate family.

Lin Yu and Lan Yang both knelt down to Ye Ya and Xia Jing from a personal standpoint. To the patriarch with whom he identifies

After a moment, Ye Ya sighed and replied with a wry smile, "...... You two are too despicable, aren't you? How could I refuse to ask for my life in this way."

Xia Jing didn't laugh.

He scratched his scalp and squatted down

"Sister, and stupid girls...... You two must not die."

Lan Yang raised his face.

"Xia Jing, you also have to be careful and safe."

Lin Yu frowned at Lin Yu.

"How dare you call me a stupid girl, and I'll make you regret your spiky tongue later."

The two stood up from the ground.

Then he turned to face the twins, who were watching the scene with relish.

「…… I've kept you waiting, Xiangxiang, Sasha."

This situation can be said to be exactly what Lin Yu wants.

The last time they deliberately released the water, the account that played her around has not been counted. And it's all about fighting, and there's nothing wrong with using this battle to sacrifice to the gods—although I'm not sure that the murderers of Adai are them, but let's just take it as a vent of anger.

After Anye, Ye Ya, and Xia Jing glanced at Lin Yu and Lan Yang, they turned around and left with Anai's footsteps. The twins had no intention of chasing them. It seems that they really want to accompany Lin Yu and them.

There's not much more to say about it now. Both parties are convinced that they will be able to meet again alive after that. Therefore, Lin Yu and Lan Yang were the same, just silently watching Ye Ya and the others leave.

A thought suddenly appeared in Lin Yu's mind.

I wish I could use Anai's knee as a pillow again, even once.

Lin Yu shook his head to drive that thought out of his mind, and at the same time confirmed that Lan Yang on the side had taken out his weapon, and then showed a grinning expression to the enemy in front of him.

Anyway, it's not a life or death.

As long as you defeat the twins, overthrow Ye Chun, and recapture the "Lost House" and Anai, you can wait until next spring to ask them to throw a birthday party for themselves.

Lin Yu pursed his mouth into a straight line and reported his name.

"I am Lin Yu......"

"I'm Lan Yang."

"We've come to fight. Prepare to die!"

The twins met Lin Yu's gaze head-on and jumped off the rock together.

"It's on, Sasha."

"Uh-huh, Xiangxiang."

The smiles on their faces vanished.

I saw them take out the weapons behind them at the same time, and put on a symmetrical posture.

"The family accepts the challenge." 」

Lin Yu, Lan Yang, Sasha, Xiangxiang.

A two-on-two duel unfolded on the banks of the stream

Behind the group, the sound of swords wielding swords sounded behind them, and they continued to climb up the mountain road.

Today's battle will evolve into the current situation, and Anno had a vague premonition before. And it was a very ominous premonition, not a good thing.

Her predictions, of course, are not based on concrete ground. It's just a very indifferent and unsettling feeling.

To put it bluntly, she was worried that the situation would turn into a situation where she could not use her strength.
