Ya also took it from Ana.

Looking sideways at Anai and the others hiding in the forest, the three of them walked forward thinking about the mansion in front of them.

The closer you go, the clearer the collapse of the house becomes, and it looks very dilapidated.

It feels like even a beggar wouldn't want to live in it.

Although it was somewhat similar to the feeling of breaking into another home three days ago, regardless of the size of the house and the eerie atmosphere, including the uncomfortable feeling emanating from the mansion as a whole......

The door panel of the entrance door is bent in the middle.

It should be said that it is suspicious whether the door can be opened or not.

Anno didn't say a word, and directly kicked the door panel.

Xia Jing and the three of them entered the house.

When I stepped into the entrance, I saw a large room ten square meters in front of me.

The floor has collapsed and the ceiling has been torn apart.

Standing in that space was a girl in a school uniform.

And the shield's black hair, hidden behind the glasses of a sharp and cold gaze.

“…… Ah Ye. ”

Xia Jing called the name of the girl who was looking at him.

Ah Ye was silent.

"Where's Qiu Yin?"

……

「…… What do you want to do?"

"Sister Night......"

As if to prove that he was bare-handed, he spread his hands,

At the same time, with extremely serious and sincere eyes——

Anno - made a declaration.

"I ask for a one-on-one duel with you."

「…… Anye?"

A look of confusion appeared on Ah Ye's face.

On the contrary, the aura emanating from Anno did not waver in the slightest.

"It's not in the name of the head of the deer clan, it's purely in the name of a person. It doesn't matter if there is a difference in the position of the family or the prosperity...... It doesn't matter what kind of capacity you want to accompany me. It seems that it should be in the name of Ah Ye, the head of the Deer Clan's family, or in the name of Ah Ye alone."

"What are you messing around?"

"Does my expression look like I'm messing around? That'......"

Anno lowered his center of gravity slightly. The next second.

"You don't look down on people anymore!"

Pounce.

She closed the distance in one breath and clenched her fist and swung it straight at Ah Ye's cheek.

「…… Tsk!"

Ah Ye's body twisted slightly, dodging the attack. Yasuno pounced. But she used her strength to spin her body and make her go like a flowing roundabout kick.

"Drink!"

But the kick still missed.

Aya reflexively threw an elbow at Yasano's back.

Mu Yinye, who didn't have time to dodge and didn't have dodge skills, was knocked down in one fell swoop.

Ichiyano saw that she was about to collapse, but she gritted her teeth and straightened up, and this time she used the sweeping leg that swept low on the ground to try to sweep down Ah Ye.

Ah Ye jumped behind him. With a confused look on his face, he pulled away.

「…… What are your intentions?"

"No intentions."

An Ye slowly got up and sneered, "I just figured it out, Sister Aye."

Before Ah Ye could ask, Anye preemptively continued, "What you said before is a lot of nonsense."

Then, she glared at Ah Ye, who was criticized as worthless and frowned.

"What do you say to forget, what do you say for Wang Chuan's happiness? You're clearly just running away from your situation, aren't you? Born as a deer tribe, he was raised as a human...... Our situation is quite convenient and easy to use. Because you can abandon your human identity only when it is beneficial to you."

「…… What do you say?"

Ah Ye's face sank.

There was a terrible look on his face—which could also be interpreted as surprise and anger.

"If you aspire to be human, it's okay to continue to be human. If you want to be a monster, then you can be a monster.

It is of course up to you to choose which path to choose...... However, if you want to be a human being, but you pretend to imitate the appearance of a monster, that is just an escape. Because you are afraid of being rejected by Wang Chuan, and you care about your identity as a monster, you are in a hurry to draw a clear line.

Hmph, the timid are also learning to be cool and handsome. I don't even have the courage to confess to the boy I like...... It's just a piece of."

"Don't talk about it, you understand me......

Ah Ye narrowed his eyes, and his momentum became even more sinister.

Anno, however, hissed at a louder voice, "How could I understand! Who taught you to never consult me!"

It was like a cry.

It seems to be venting the grief and anger in my heart.

"Do you know what kind of mood I was in before...... When you were an enemy of Sister Ah Ye, did you know that I was sad! You don't know anything at all, whether it's my mood or Ye Ya's and Wang Chuan's mood, you turn a blind eye to everything...... What do you know about willful and reckless and random abandonment of everything! Please look at yourself and don't say those self-righteous things! Don't limit the future, either! You're clearly just pretending to be conscious, escaping reality!"

Anno's indignant appearance and point-to-the-point remarks made Ah Ye clearly show his anger on his face again.

「…… Are you teaching me that as long as I don't give up, is it possible for my dreams to come true?"

Ah Ye gritted his teeth and glared at Anye.

"Let's stay asleep and do it later."

"As long as you stay awake and look carefully, dreams are just reality."

Even so, Anno still did not have the slightest timidity.

"It's because I think it's a dream, so I can't realize it, right? Sister Tonga Night...... No, it's not just Sister Aye. Me, Ye Ya, Li Qi...... The fact that our deer people are still surviving to this day is not a dream, but a reality. I don't think it's going to be possible just by thinking about it. But once you give up, the chance of realization is gone."

"If it wasn't a dream, I think it should be a delusion."

Ah Ye scoffed.

As if he was rejecting Anno's temptation, as if he was convincing himself—

"Even if it does, so what? It was just a misunderstanding. We are monsters after all, and they are human. The chasm that bridges between the two is as deep as a bottomless abyss."

But, even so.

Anye still had a serious expression, and looked at Ah Ye unmoved-

"That's an escape!"

Shout.

"Then I ask you...... Otherwise, how did we come into this world? Isn't it just that parents understand each other and are compatible? Isn't it because Suzuka is trying to gain acceptance from humans, and humans have accepted the deer clan? If accepting each other was just a pipe dream, the deer clan would have perished long ago...... Bridging the gap between monsters and humans is just that little bit of a difficulty! That's how everybody crossed over!"

「…… Hmm!"

Ah Ye - flinched.

I'm afraid it's not because I'm refuted by Anno's theory.

It's not as bold as she is.

Even Xia Jing, who was standing in the distance, was mostly shaken by her courage.

Anno vented his feelings that weighed so much to Ah Ye.

Her attacks show no signs of slowing down.

"So you're just afraid of making mistakes, you're afraid of failing. Once you make a mistake like Li Qi, you will suffer irreparable damage. Because he was afraid of getting hurt, he pretended to be a monster and drew a line with Wang Chuan...... It hasn't changed until now."

Finally.

「…… Instigation."

"I'm going to challenge you as a human being. So in which capacity do you want to wage war against me? If it's a monster, then please take out the monster and burn me to death with that hide. If it's a human, then you're going to pounce on me like a human. I'll let you choose!"

Anno's words finally-

「…… Long-winded."

"But I don't think you can make up your mind, do you? Because you've never made your own choice. You are a coward who does not dare to rely on your own judgment to make choices, and always shifts the responsibility to others' self-righteousness and involuntarily. A boring woman like you...... It's no wonder that Wang Chuan didn't take you seriously at all."

「…… Less verbose! Shut up, Anye!"

made Ah Ye lose his cool.

Just like Anye just now, he is brave and unscrupulous.

Unintentionally using treasure weapons, he attacks from the front with his bare hands.

"Hmph...... Let the horses come!"

Yasuno poses in a frame to meet the attack.

Flashed the fist that flew towards his cheek, and took the opportunity to grab Ah Ye's arm, wanting to perform an over-the-shoulder throw. However, even though his body and mind are in a state of agitation, Ah Ye's strength is still far above Anno. She pulled out her arm at the last moment, lifted her knee in a close-fitting position, and slammed into the flank of the defenseless Anno.

"Huh!"

The blow made the ribs snap.

But Anno's body was not crushed.

She took the opportunity to grab Ah Ye's feet and knock her down

「…… Damn!"

Anno grabbed Ah Ye and fixed her head with one hand, there were no fancy moves and no skills to speak of, just beating with brute force.

One punch. Two punches. Three punches. Just as he was poised to strike his fourth punch, Aya suddenly stretched out his hands towards Anno's collar.

She also uses brute force to judo.

Thrown hard by the extraordinary arm strength, Anno flew into the air like a common scene in manga, and rolled on the ground with a half-torn paper door wrapped around his body. However, before the dust and smoke had settled, she regrouped and jumped.

Ah Ye pulled out the glasses with broken lenses while preparing for the battle.

Anye couldn't escape the embarrassed look, and the ponytail on his head was half loose.

Considerations of technique and grace have long been left behind by both sides.

"Drink!"

Anno shouted loudly, grabbed Aye's hair and hit it with a hammer on his head.

「…… Woo! Bastard ......"

Not to be outdone, Aye, who received a slam blow to the forehead, threw a punch and hit Yasuno in the abdomen.

It's too naïve to say it's fighting. It is too fierce to say that it is a child fight.

It was a stalemate between the two sides and a scuffle.

Ye Ya, who was watching the process, turned his head to Xia Jing and asked, "Na, Xia Jing...... Don't you really have to stop them?"

"What are you talking about?"

Xia Jing shook his head.

"Let's just let them have a good time...... I'm a little scared by them."

Anye's poignant appearance is naturally not a problem, but what is surprising is that I didn't expect that even that Ah Ye would be angry and fight like that.

The intensity of the fights continued unabated.

If you continue to fight, it is not surprising that either side will lose their lives.

However, the period was suddenly and hastily drawn.

"You give me ......"

Maybe it hurt the internal organs, and there was blood hanging from the corners of the mouth,

Anno - grabbed Ah Ye's collar.

"You give me about that!"

She grabbed her, as if she wanted to take advantage of the situation so that the other party had no way to escape.

It wasn't until Ah Ye's back hit the pillar of the hall that he stopped advancing.

Anye put his face in front of Ah Ye, and roared in a hoarse voice, "You...... You're not such a seedless person, are you?"

Ah Ye, who was in pain from the impact of hitting the pillar, still stared at Anye's eyes with fierce menace.

"Someone who should stop in moderation...... It's you."

Ah Ye shook his shoulders and panted, and argued, "Just ...... Such a reason! If you think you can convince me on such a ground, then you-"

"Such a reason? No kidding! What do you call such a reason?"

Anno's roar unconsciously turned from anger to grief.

"That's right...... I'm not very smart. Even if you want to break your head, you can't think of a reason that can convince you, and your strength is not strong enough to force you to obey my words with strength! But...... But!"

Anno's fingers grabbed the collar of Aye's uniform and folded it, as if he wanted to cling to her and refused to let go.

"I've had enough! I hate killing each other with Sister Aye! I also hate to sit idly by and watch the civil unrest happening right in front of me! Sister Ah Ye...... You've been a poker face since you were a kid, but you're kind and a little clumsy......

Her voice was choked. Tears gradually accumulated in his eyes.

Anno sobbed like a child, and at the same time-

She buried her face in Ah Ye's shoulder and muttered, "I...... I like Sister Ah Ye very much. That's why I don't want to see you look like you're not happy either!"

After that, Anno seemed to return to his childhood.

"Why? Why don't you pluck up the courage? When I was a child, I didn't dare to join Ye Ya and the others to play together, didn't you enlighten me? …… If you don't have the courage to take the first step, there will be no progress, and if you don't do something, there will be no change, and you're not the one who told me?"

「…… Anno."

"Please, please. Don't do such meaningless things anymore and face the reality seriously......

Although he couldn't cry anymore and couldn't even pronounce the words, Anno kept reciting Aye's name over and over again.

Sister Aye, I ask you.

I ask you—

Anno finally sat down.

She sobbed and clenched her fists, her head down.

Ah Ye stood there for a while, and after a while-

She wiped the blood from her mouth with nonchalantly moving hands.

"You're like a child who will never grow up, I can't stand you anymore."

Then he muttered in a low voice and looked away from Anno.

Ah Ye stepped forward.

Towards the two of them - that is, the entrance of the entrance.

She turned a blind eye to Xia Jing and Ye Ya, and did not look back at An Ye's back, her steps were firm and did not hesitate at all.

After stepping down the hallway with a height difference, Ah Ye stopped.

She looked slightly sideways into the depths of the room.

It was not a high decibel level, but it was very loud and clear, and an awe-inspiring voice shouted: "...... Autumn Yin!"

Towards Akimoan, who might be hiding somewhere in the house.

Ah Ye declared, "From this moment on, I will live as a mortal. In the future, I will not work for you anymore, and of course I will not help Ye Ya......

"Ah Ye...... Sister."

Anye, who was crying all over his face, turned his head to look back.

Ah Ye smiled faintly.

"Thank you, Anno."

With that, she restarted her pace and left the room, never to stop.
