Looking at the door of the ward that had been pushed open from the outside, Akiyama Lian was startled, her eyes widened, her pupils contracted, and the hand holding the card sleeve suddenly clenched tighter.

But as the door was completely opened, revealing the person behind the door, Akiyama Ren was suddenly stunned.

"Tezuka?"

Akiyama Lian, who said this name, finally slowed down a little bit.

Yes, the person who came was Umiyuki Tezuka.

When he saw Akiyama Lian's expression, he couldn't help but be stunned.

After reacting, he apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. ”

In this regard, Akiyama Ren didn't say anything, just asked him.

"Why are you here?"

Hearing this, Tezuka Kaiyuki was silent for a moment and replied, "Actually...... I'm here to be a lobbyist. ”

"Lobbyist?" Akiyama Ren frowned, "Whose lobbyist?" ”

"The Demon King's."

Facing Akiyama Ren, Tezuka Kaiyuki told the news he had just gotten.

"Things have changed, and the Demon King has shortened the time left for us to make choices...... So, Lian, that's the last time!

"Shuichi Kitaoka is outside the door now, he is here on behalf of the Demon King.

"If you don't make a choice at this point, he'll take the card holder from your hand......"

Looking closely into Akiyama Ren's eyes, Tezuka Kaiyuki asked him in a deep voice.

"Lian, do you know what that means?"

“……”

Hearing this question, Akiyama Ren's hand holding the card sleeve tightened again, making a "crunch" sound, and her expression became very ugly.

"I know." He said.

In the past two days, although he has been guarding his wife in the ward, he is not ignorant of the outside world.

He knew how chaotic the outside world was now, and he also knew that the mirror monster had eaten a lot of people.

He was very nervous at one point, and he also tried to transform.

However, he has not yet pledged his allegiance to the Demon King, and even if he has a card case, he will not be able to complete the transformation.

But even so, he was safer than the others.

Because none of the mirror monsters that ravaged Tokyo actually attacked the hospital he was in.

If this was not instructed by Shogo in the mirror world, he would definitely not believe it.

Obviously, this is the protection given by the King of the Mirror World, the Demon King who intends to destroy the world.

The question of Tezuka Haiyuki just now is almost explicit.

What does it mean to have your card holder taken away?

That means that he will be completely disqualified from being a knight;

Meaning, he will lose the protection from the king of the mirror world;

It means that the monsters that exist in the mirror world will once again treat him as prey;

At the same time, it also means that this hospital, which has been protected from the attack of mirror monsters before, will no longer continue to be "lucky".

And he can't complete the transformation of a knight, and he has no power to resist the arrival of such a future.

Unless......

These thoughts flashed quickly through his mind, and Akiyama Ren repeated again:

"I know."

He really knows......

"So, I'll be loyal to him."

In order to protect his lover, he had no other choice from the beginning.

But even so, he couldn't easily convince himself to turn his back on the world.

Therefore, he has been delaying until now, and has not yet given an answer.

Therefore, he was very puzzled about how Tezuka Kaiyuki did this.

As soon as he thought of this, Akiyama Ren asked Tezuka Kaiyuki.

"To be honest, I never imagined that you would simply join the side that destroys the world...... Did you see something? With divination. ”

But when Tezuka Haizhi heard this, he shook his head.

"My divination is very accurate, but you can also see that the demon king, he has the power to manipulate time, so, after that meeting, I haven't done any more divination."

Not divination means not being misled about future influences.

It means that he can always stick to his original intention.

However, Tezuka's answer made Akiyama Ren feel even more confused.

"Then how do you ......?"

"It doesn't matter."

Tezuka Kaiyuki interrupted Akiyama Ren's words and said.

"The important thing is that the castle is coming here soon...... Are you sure you want to fight him at this time? ”

On his way here, he saw Shinji Shiroto dressed strangely from afar.

To be honest, it was quite conspicuous on the empty street, and he couldn't ignore it.

Then, at that time, he mistook the person who acted with Shinji Joto for Akiyama Ren.

Fortunately, the man looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, so he reacted quickly.

Otherwise, he would not be taken aback, but rushed straight over.

As soon as he thought of this, Tezuka Kaiyuki looked at Akiyama Ren's face, and his expression became a little strange for a while.

He was a little suspicious that the man was Akiyama's own brother...... After all, the timeline is different, and it's not impossible.

Thinking like this, Kainichi Tezuka didn't hold back, so he leaked out the complaints in his heart.

"Well, and your brother."

Akiyama Ren: "??? ”

"What brother? Where did my brother come from? ”

He was a little confused by Tezuka's sudden words.

But it doesn't matter, because after saying that, Tezuka Kaiyuki is also a little confused.

“…… I'm sorry. ”

After a while, Umiyuki Tezuka began to apologize.

But this made Akiyama Lian feel even more confused.

"Why do you apologize?"

But at this time, Umiyuki Tezuka had already begun to change the topic.

Just listen to him say this:

"Look, since I've apologized, you don't have to worry about this little detail...... The key is still my previous question, are you sure you want to face up to the city at this time? ”

Akiyama Ren: "......"

He glanced at Tezuka Kaiyuki suspiciously, but as he wished, he did not continue to investigate.

"I really don't want to confront the castle now."

Akiyama replied.

Because, if he was right at this time, Shinji Joto would definitely stop him, right?

- Whatever the reason, what is wrong is not right, and what should not be done is not done.

That guy's words, he must say so, right?

Thinking like this, Akiyama Ren couldn't help but sigh.

But......

"What if I leave now?"

Hearing this, as if he had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, Tezuka Kaiyuki smiled.

He said slowly, "If you can trust me, I have a suggestion......"

"Let's hear it first." Akiyama Lotus Road.

……

……

A moment later.

Tezuka Kaiyuki and Akiyama Ren walked out of the ward together.

Outside the ward.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Kitaoka Shuichi took his eyes off the screen of his phone.

He was just looking at some posts.

Because of the activity of the mirror monsters, people can't vent on the streets like they did yesterday.

As a result, those who shivered and hid at home vented more negative emotions online.

As a result, the Internet is now full of posts crusading, belittling, and angrily scolding Shogo Tokiwa.

"Enemy of the Whole People"!

That's the kind of environment that can drive an ordinary person crazy in a short period of time.

And such an environment will allow more people to vent like this without the slightest pressure.

There is no doubt that a vicious circle has been formed.

But even so, Shogo Tokiwa, who has great power, did not do anything radical.

Such an open-mindedness, as well as self-restraint.

Even Shuichi Kitaoka, who hates this type of person the most, can't help but admire Shogo Tokiwa a little.

Thinking so, he looked up at Tezuka Kaiyuki and Akiyama Ren.

"Is it finally over?"

Kitaoka Shuichi said with a smile.

"It seems that you guys talked well, and I can get a good reply."

Saying this, Kitaoka Shuichi focused his eyes on Akiyama Ren and asked him.

"Akiyama Lian, have you already decided that you want to be loyal to my king?"

"Yes." Akiyama nodded, "I've decided to be allegiant. ”

"Good." Shuichi Kitaoka applauded, "First of all, congratulations on joining the ranks of the evil party. Then, congratulations to me, I don't have to bully you who can't transform, and I'm finally able to leave this nasty place. ”

After the words fell, Shuichi Kitaoka and Akiyama Ren walked a process and turned to leave.

Then, Umiyuki Tezuka and Ren Akiyama also left the hospital together.

And after they all left, on the glass door of the hospital hall, a figure in the mirror suddenly appeared walking towards the hospital.

That's it, Dragon's Teeth!
