[Above the sky, which is beyond the reach of human beings, is not the pure land of the gods, they climb up self-righteously, but they cannot know all the truth in their lifetime. 】

"Come down." The turtle said coldly.

"You're ordering me?" A green tendon popped up on the forehead of the red figure, and he was actually angry because of it.

However, he soon suppressed the anger in his heart, snorted coldly, jumped off the water needle, and landed in front of everyone.

I saw that he was wearing a dark red trench coat, blood-colored hair, golden vertical pupils, half a mask hanging on his face, and a coral-shaped horn growing on his left forehead.

“…… I won't bother with you this time," he glared at the turtle viciously, but found that the other party had no reaction, so he had to sigh and look at Zhen, "Even if you just look at my appearance, you can know who I am." ”

"That's right, I'm the dragon, the dragon who holds the fire!"

The scene was a little quiet for a few seconds, and it seemed that no one meant to talk.

"Hello, I'm real." Really subconsciously stretched out his right hand.

"Hello." The dragon looked at his hand with some confusion, and tentatively reached out to pat it.

Now, the awkward atmosphere became more and more intense.

"Young man, it's very difficult to master my power, are you mentally prepared?" The dragon didn't seem to understand the atmosphere at all, and patted him on the shoulder very enthusiastically.

It's a pity that this enthusiasm is destined to not get a worthy response, so I can only force myself to pull myself together and try to show a smile.

"Okay, in that case, without further ado, let's start learning right away!" The dragon nodded, pulling the knife from his waist.

"Huh...... Now? "I was stunned for a moment.

"The enemy won't wait for you, really!" The dragon entered the battle state almost instantly, the enthusiasm on his face disappeared, and only calmness remained, "Your comrades died to save you, if an enemy attacked you at this time, what would you do?" ”

"Do you want to die obediently, or do you stand up and keep fighting?" The dragon continued to ask, and the sword in his hand turned into a hollowed-out greatsword, and a raging fire burned on it.

"Tell me how!" The dragon held his sword in both hands and slashed towards the real slash.

Zhen subconsciously raised his sword.

"Stupid!"

The blades collided together, and the raging fire burned all the way down the real slashing knife, spreading to the entire arm.

"You don't even want to fight me without even wielding the sword? Look down on people less! The dragon's forehead burst into a few green tendons, his vertical pupils shrank, and he continued to swing his knife to slash away.

Really fell into a disadvantage from the beginning.

It's weird.

The attack of the big sword was certainly powerful, but it was also extremely flawed, and he could really find an opportunity to liberate the sword to fight, but he didn't, just resisted it in a daze.

Suddenly, the dragon stopped.

"The flames are already burning in the face," the dragon grimaced, "are you going to be burned like this?" ”

"If you were burned to death by me, but you couldn't come back to life, did you think about it?"

"Do you really have this realization?"

"Or ...... You're not going to resurrect the whale anymore? ”

In the face of the dragon's serial questioning, he really just hung his head and didn't speak.

"Coward." The dragon said disdainfully, intending to continue his attack.

"It's more comfortable." At this time, Shin suddenly whispered.

"What?" The dragon stopped, frowning slightly.

Shin lifted his face full of flames, one side was already a little burnt, and the right hand holding the knife had long since lost consciousness.

"Using this as a punishment, I think, it should be quite qualified......" Zhen silently changed the slashing knife to his left hand, his body sank slightly, and the next second he rushed towards the dragon.

“…… Hum! The dragon's movements froze slightly, gritted its teeth, and slashed away with all its might.

The real body deviated slightly, dodged, and stepped on the burning sword, even if the foot was burned and smoking, it did not let go, and the sword was already on the dragon's shoulder.

"......" The dragon looked at the truth in front of him in a daze.

The flames on Ma's body were extinguished in an instant, and the hollow greatsword also changed back to its normal form.

The dragon reached out and pushed away the slashing knife that had been placed on his shoulder, and looked him in the eye earnestly.

"Listen, I don't care what you think, I just care what I think."

"My power won't be used by you like this, listen to me, really."

"Don't be too presumptuous."

After the dragon finished speaking, he turned to leave, and with only his left hand, he took out a crystal-shaped orb from his bosom and threw it to Zhen.

"Drunk."

Really stunned to look at the back of the dragon leaving, his mind was a little blank, and he subconsciously put the sphere to his mouth.

The crystal ball turned into a stream of water and entered the real mouth, and the burned parts of the body were covered with a layer of bright blue light, and after a few breaths, the burns were all recovered.

[Self-righteous...... ? 】

Really lying on the ground, looking at the sky in a daze, under the floating island, dark clouds were thick, thunder flashed, but finally it stopped raining.

……

"Really, really?" An anxious cry came, and I tried hard to open my eyes, and I saw the big face of Shiba Haiyan.

"Haiyan?" There was a hint of confusion in the real voice.

"You're finally awake!" Zhibo Haiyan breathed a long sigh of relief, and a cheerful smile appeared on his face, "This is the fourth team, don't worry, it's safe." ”

"...... the fourth team?" Zhen gradually came back to his senses, and it seemed that when he was in a coma, and while he was fighting in the inner world, they contacted the Corpse Soul Realm and brought them back.

"By the way, what about Captain Saragi?" Zhen suddenly thought of the man who blocked the deadly attack for him, and hurriedly asked.

"Captain Saragi...... The injury is too serious, and now it is being treated by Captain Uno Hana himself," Shiba Haiyan said this, and couldn't help but rejoice, "It is said that it will be ...... a little later"

The two fell silent.

"Na...... Really, I said," Shiba Haiyan turned his head to look out the window, "Otherwise, you might as well go to the second team." ”

"You're the best at Instant Step, and your ability to slash the sword is also very suitable for the second team......"

I was silent for a long time, and my eyes stayed on Shiba Haiyan.

"Well, I'll admit, I don't want you to be at the front every time," Shiba Haiyan cupped her forehead in some pain, "With you, I can't help but think, 'Ah, there's really here.'" 'I don't think about going first when I encounter any dangerous things, I always think, he is really better than me, he is more reliable than me, so I keep making excuses......"

"Although I also know that I am worried that I am unreliable, I can't be able to protect everyone as I really are, and I am worried that everyone will be hurt because I can't be trusted......"

"But, but ......"

"When I saw you fall and I didn't know whether you were alive or dead, I finally realized that I couldn't go on like this."

Shiba Haiyan looked at Zhen, her eyes full of seriousness and determination.

"Don't look at me like this, I'm the third seat in the thirteenth team, and I'm the man who will definitely become the captain in the future."

"Really...... Can you promise me? ”

"I can't rely on you anymore."

I really looked at Shiba Haiyan in front of me with some distraction.

He, a little bit didn't understand.

Why did Shiba Haiyanjing say something that he didn't understand......

Protect everyone? Relied upon?

I...... When is it eligible to be relied upon?

Haven't I been relying on you, Petrel?

"What are you talking about, Haiyan......" said really at a loss.

"Really, please." Zhibo Haiyan clasped his hands together, put his forehead against his fingertips, and said seriously.

For a moment, there was silence in the room.

"I promise you." I said softly.

Although he didn't understand why Shiba Haiyan said this, he didn't understand where he acted like he was being relied on......

However, since this is Haiyan's request, there is no reason not to agree.

"Thanks, really," Shiba Haiyan showed a big smile, "When you recover, please have a good meal~"

“…… Who is rare. I chuckled, and the clouds in my heart seemed to have diminished a little.

At that moment, the door opened, and a gentle voice came.

"Ah, am I coming at this wrong time?"

When the two of them heard the sound, it turned out to be Mao Zhihualie.

"Captain Unohana, you're not giving a ...... to Captain Saragi," Shiba Haiyan said as she stood up and said with some restraint.

It seems that what happened last time scared him a lot.

"Captain Saragi is out of danger, now I just need to recuperate in peace," Uno Hanari leaned sideways, revealing the strange creature following her, "Speaking of which, you haven't seen my slashing knife yet, this is my slashing sword, 'Shizuku' (1). ”

How to say that...... If I had to describe it, it would only look like a light green ray flying in the sky, and it only had one eye.

“…… Wow, the biology department slashing knife, there are very few. Zhibo Haiyan scratched his head and said with some surprise.

"My slashing knife can swallow people in the stomach, and in it you can heal quickly." Uno Hanari touched Shizuku's head and said with a smile.

"So ......"

"The greeting is over, now it's time to get down to business."

"Zhenjun, please come with me."

"Room 46 asks for an inquiry about you......" Uno Hanari opened his eyes and looked at Shin with a calm face.

"About your 'blurring'."
