The roof of the building near the hospital.

Looking at the dragon tooth and Shinji Shiroto who left the hospital building from the window one after another, and then were caught by the Dark Dragon and the Peerless Dragon respectively, Tezuka Kaiyuki was about to speak, when he heard a clear announcement suddenly come from beside him.

"Celebrate, at this moment, a battle for the survival of the world has officially begun!"

Hearing this, Tezuka Haiyuki was silent, and looked to the side without the slightest surprise on his face.

"You're here......"

He calmly said the identity and name of the person who came from next to him.

"The Demon King's retainer, Woz!"

As Tezuka's perspective turned, the man beside him gradually revealed his full picture.

Brown coat, gray scarf, exactly Woz.

"Ahh

He held the Demon Advent Calendar in his hand, and with a smile on his face that was almost indistinguishable from his usual face, he said to Umiyuki Tezuka.

"Tezuka-sama-sama, even if you please me so much, the result won't change in the slightest."

"I know." Tezuka Kaiyuki nodded, "So, I'm not regretting the choice I made, I'm just, with some emotion." ”

"Emotion?"

"Yes."

Tezuka nodded again, and then his voice changed.

"But maybe I'm too weak.

"Because, I really can't turn my back on the world for my own wishes, and let so many innocent people die.

"I can't afford that kind of sin.

"After all, this world is not beautiful, but it is not so bad that it must be destroyed."

At this point, Tezuka sighed softly, looked away from Watts, looked around, and finally looked in the direction of the hospital again.

"To be honest, I admire the Demon King of the Mirror World.

"As a king, he did everything he could for the sake of his world and for the sake of his people.

"It's no wonder that the inhabitants of the Mirror World are so loyal to him.

"But, I'm from this world!

"Just like there is a demon king in the mirror world who is doing his best to make his world better, in this world, there is also a demon king who is actively trying to make this world a better place!"

With that, Tezuka Kaichi pointed to the mirror monsters who were converging towards the Holy Central Hospital.

"You see, even these inhabitants of the Mirror World, who I once called monsters, are working hard for their king, for their world, how can I, as a human being, as a resident of this world, lose to them, turn my back on my world, turn my back on the demon king of my world, and let him fight alone?"

These words, like a needle, pierced Woz's heart, causing his hand hanging at his side to tighten sharply, and he could no longer maintain the usual smile on his face.

I saw him say with a cold expression:

"Is that why you deceived Akiyama Ren? Because you think that he will eventually turn his back on the world because of his own selfish wishes, so you have to stop him, even if it is by deception? ”

However, when Tezuka Kaiyu heard this, he shook his head.

"No, it never occurred to me to stop Lian's choice."

It's not just that he doesn't deny a husband's desire to save his wife.

is even more because he knows the person Akiyama Ren.

In the eyes of outsiders, she always looks cold, as if Akiyama Lotus, who doesn't care about anything in her eyes, will be able to kill others with great ease if she needs to, right?

However, Akiyama Ren's ruthlessness is only a manifestation of his extremely inexpressive character.

In fact, Akiyama Ren is a very affectionate and kind person.

Therefore, if he forcibly makes Akiyama Ren choose between the person he loves the most and the world, it will only be himself who will be hurt in the end.

If you don't fight, you die, and if you fight, you die.

In this case, how will Akiyama Ren choose?

The memory of the history of the former knight has revealed the choice of Akiyama Ren for Tezuka Kaiyuki.

Yes, if it was Akiyama Ren, the final choice would definitely be the path of "fighting".

Perhaps, the former Tezuka Umiyuki will choose to stop Akiyama Ren.

However, the current Tezuka Kaiyuki, as Akiyama Ren's best friend, chose to fulfill Akiyama Ren's private wishes.

And what is Akiyamaren's private wish?

There is no doubt that it was Eiri Akiyama's safe health.

Wads just said that Tezuka Haiyuki deceived Akiyama Ren.

That's right.

Previously, when Tezuka Kaiyuki persuaded Akiyama Ren at the Holy Central Hospital, he said that he was a lobbyist for the Demon King.

However, he did not specify which demon king it was.

The reason why Akiyama Ren thinks that the "Demon King" that Tezuka Kaiyuki said at that time refers to Shogo in the mirror world is actually the result of Tezuka Kaiyuki's deliberate induction.

Then, taking advantage of this result, and Renren Akiyama's trust in him, Jean Akiyama left the knight's watch for the night rider to Eiri Akiyama.

Eventually, the knight's watch for the night rider fell into the hands of Gates, and it became a letter of surrender to Shogo Tokiwa, as well as a talisman for Umiyuki Tezuka to guarantee that Eiri Akiyama would be saved no matter what.

However, it was different from Woz's guess.

The purpose of Tezuka's move was not to forcibly pull Akiyama Ren into Shogo Tokiwa's camp by deception.

On the contrary, he is here to provide Akiyama Ren with a ...... where she can choose to fight with peace of mind Excuse.

……

……

St. Central Hospital Building.

Looking out the window, Shinji Shiroto and the Dragon's Tooth, who had successfully transformed into each other, Gates was about to jump out of the broken window as well, when suddenly an extremely sharp sound wave pierced his head, making him unable to help but stop his movements and hold his head extremely uncomfortable.

Then, before Gates could react, behind him, a bat-shaped mirror monster suddenly burst out of the observation window of the nearest hospital room door, accompanied by a chirp, knocking him into the remaining glass shards of the window.

Gates subconsciously made defensive moves.

But the weightlessness that was supposed to come only lasted for a moment before disappearing.

At the same time, the sharp sound wave that hit his brain disappeared.

This allowed Gates to quickly get back into shape.

He looked around, his expression frozen.

The text that is upside down from the real world, the many mirror monsters, and the sky above Shinji Joto and the dragon's tooth figure all tell Gates that he is now in the mirror world.

"Squeak—"

At that moment, a cry he had heard when he had just been knocked into the world in the mirror suddenly sounded.

Looking up in the direction from which the voice came, he saw a bat-shaped mirror monster looking down at him menacingly in the air.

The contract beast of the Night Rider, the Wings of Darkness.

Gates, who recognized the identity of the bat-shaped mirror monster above, subconsciously took out the knight's watch of the night rider.

At the same time, he turned around and looked across the street.

I saw that in that direction, Akiyama Ren was walking towards him with the card holder of the night rider in one hand.
