"Smack!"

"Ahh

After thinking about it silently for a long time with his head down, Haruhi suddenly slapped him on the deltoid muscle of Ji Feng's shoulder, making him grin in pain, and even his facial features gathered together.

"Sizzle...... You're beating too hard! It must have swollen into a slap print! I should have put on my holy garments and talk to you! ”

In front of the girls, Ji Feng did not hide his pain, and while quickly rubbing his hot shoulders, he complained dissatisfiedly to the spring day, and the serious atmosphere just now disappeared for a moment.

It was only at this time that Kasuga crossed his hands in front of him, raised his head and said to Ji Feng and the other girls proudly:

"Well...... You guy, although you are kind, you look down on us too much!

Didn't you know exactly what we were going to do, so you decided to invite us to the team? Or maybe you, the 'wise man', have little confidence in your own judgment? However, you have long expected that we will not immediately choose to hide under the strict protection of Mikoto and Yuki, at least for now, so we can change our minds at any time.

That's fine, whether we can withstand the grind of fighting or not has to try to know, if someone really can't accept the life of killing or being killed, whether it is to become a logistics staff or quit completely, it is not bad, and I am also in favor of it.

Our SOS Holy Black Cat Knights are a community that makes the world more lively, and if you think it's interesting, if anyone thinks this group is completely boring, or makes you feel more painful than happy, then you can naturally choose to quit. Even I wouldn't stay in such a boring club.

Of course, I don't want to kill people if I can fight without killing people, and I don't even kill animals - except for monsters. But I still have the consciousness that I should have, at a critical juncture. Of course, I can't care about the lives of the enemy and ignore the lives of the members.

If you want to talk about this aspect, I think Mikoto, who is a Lv5, should think about it the most. After reading the 'original', you yourself know that Lv5 is not the strongest even in your world, so if you really encounter an enemy who is stronger than you and has to kill all of us, even if you can kill the enemy for us, can you really accept it in your heart? Is it true that there will be no pain and sadness in my heart, and I will be haunted by it for the rest of my life?

If that's the case, I'd rather you quit now and go your separate ways. Just as you don't want to see our fellow citizens hurt and die. We also don't want to see your heart tormented—especially to protect us. ”

In the end, Haruhi actually pointed the finger directly at Mikoto, which made Mikoto, who was completely unprepared, a little flustered on her face. But Haruhi's words are clear and bright, and the gentleness hidden under the "businesslike" tone is the same as Ji Feng's, and neither Mikoto nor anyone else can blame her for her stiffness and determination.

"This ...... I, of course, will do my best...... It's not forcing yourself...... I'm also very clear...... It's just that......

Sorry for the ...... for me to think about."

In the eyes of concern and worry hidden in everyone's calmness, Mai Trin's eyes widened and tried to justify, but in the end, she was disappointed to find that her heart was really at a loss.

All along, she was "strong" enough to carry out her will. That's why her innocence of refusing to kill even enemies has been preserved to the present. But Kasuga now shoehorned the cruel reality in front of her, so that she had to face up to the two paths in front of her:

Is it to stay forever in the shell of the world that can be covered by one's own power, to be a "virgin" hero who never kills?

Or get out of the shell that has always protected you, and join your companions in a world that may have clear skies or bloody rain. To be an adventurer who may not be able to save his life even if he tries his best?

"I ...... I want to give it a try! I'll try!

It's not about trying to get used to killing people, it's about trying to adjust your mentality! Maybe I'll still feel sad that I have to kill the enemy in the future, but I hope that I can still have fun laughing, traveling and adventuring with everyone after I am sad!

No matter what the situation, I want to be with everyone! I also want to be with Kuroko, Hatsuharu, and Saten! This is the only thought that I have in my heart! ”

It didn't take long. Mai Trin spoke tremblingly. She had already made up her mind in some way, and soon the louder she spoke, the more firm her voice became. In the end, the only wish that had never wavered in her confused heart finally broke through everything and popped out of her throat, making her eyes radiate a bright light that was not inferior to that of spring!

"Well...... Me too. ”

Infected by Mai Trin, the black cat, who had never revealed his heart even in front of his companions, scratched his cheeks with a little blush, and then walked to the middle of everyone, and was the first to stretch out his right hand. Then Tomoyo immediately smiled and covered his right hand on it, followed by Kasuga, Yuki, and Mikoto.

Louise, who had no idea what they were doing, was watched by everyone who was waiting patiently for her, her face turned red for some reason, and finally she stretched out her right hand, which was trembling in disgrace.

Yes...... Is this her reincarnation teammates, this her friends? It was the first time she knew that her partner'......s hand could be so warm!!

Just as Louise was quietly experiencing some inexplicable emotion quietly in her heart, a large hot hand suddenly covered the back of her hand, while the other big hand reached to the bottom, holding all of their hands together!

"This is the team I want! I want to be with you all the time!

I can't promise forever, but I'll be with you all the time as long as I'm alive! I'm going to be with you guys no matter what! For your sake, I will be resurrected even if I die!! ”

At this moment, Ji Feng, who has always regarded himself as a gentleman and a wise man, held the hands of all the girls tightly, and shouted out the wish that kept stirring in his heart. Although he immediately regretted it as soon as he shouted the words, and he couldn't wait to eat this shameful line directly, but in the shy but straightforward smiles of the girls he personally selected, he simply cheekily turned his heart sideways, and shouted with all his strength as if he was too excited:

"I like you guys—!!" (To be continued.) )
