When Shadow said this.

From her trembling hands, sweaty palms.

Yue Yang could feel it very clearly, and Ying's heart was very uneasy.

There is no doubt that Shadow is worried that she will leave her as she did back then.

"Ei, I'm here, and I'll always be there."

Yue Yang smiled and shook Ei's hand.

Shadow just nodded slightly, still uneasy in his eyes.

Obviously, Ying had already experienced a loss, and she probably couldn't accept the second loss of Yue Yang.

If it really happens again, Ei's heart will probably collapse, right?

Ying and Paimon also see the uneasiness in Ei's heart.

Paimon quickly and enthusiastically changed the subject, "Ei~ Why don't you tell us the truth, why didn't she protect Inazuma back then~"

Paimon: This is a pot that shouldn't be mentioned, so I'll reveal it.

The moment I heard this question, a trace of resentment suddenly appeared in my eyes.

But he patiently explained, "Really, she hid from me and went to Kanria alone."

"But unlike me, I'm not good at martial arts at all, and every time I encountered similar dangers in the past, I was the one who came forward on my behalf."

"This time the situation is really unavoidable, and I can only be left behind."

"No, I should say... They hid me behind their backs."

"When I notice this—"

At this point, a sore spot flashed in Ei's eyes, "It's too late, I only had time to see her dying when I went to Kanriya."

"At that time, she was unconscious, and I had to enter her consciousness space..."

"For you, it's like a place like the Pure Land of One Heart."

"There, we said our final goodbyes..."

"I cried so sadly, and until then, I still didn't understand what she was thinking."

At this point, the resentment in Ei's eyes became even worse: "Why is it not me but her who arrived in Kanria first, why did she hide it from me, is this the so-called "protection"?"

"It was there that I made up my mind that I would pursue eternity!"

"In order to witness this determination, I saved the space of consciousness that she was about to collapse and brought it back to Inazuma."

…

"I see..."

Paimon's expression was a little bitter.

She never expected that she wanted to change the topic and say something happy, but she still mentioned the sad thing.

Fortunately, the thunderbolt has really returned, and these sad memories have passed.

Who would have thought, Shadow was still reminiscing about the past, and continued, "When I returned to Inazuma, I was surprised to find that a huge cherry blossom tree appeared on Shadow Mountain, which is known as the Divine Sakura."

"Suddenly!?"

Paimon looked puzzled.

"Hasn't the Divine Sakura Tree always existed?"

Ying also looked puzzled.

Kazui continued, "As you said, everyone at the time rightly told me that the sacred cherry blossoms have existed since ancient times, and they don't understand what I'm surprised about."

"No one questions this, the existence of Kazukura is clearly different from my memory, and it seems that only I can sense that it appeared out of thin air."

At this point, Ying couldn't help but sigh: "In the end, I can only think that this is a magical phenomenon caused by that consciousness space at this time."

"With the help of the power of the sacred cherry tree, I was able to quell the monster disaster in Inazuma."

....

Ying and Paimon listened, and looked at each other.

Can the memory of the gods be wrong?

This kind of thing is simply a fantasy.

So the two turned their eyes to look at Yue Yang.

Paimon even asked directly, "Grand Boss Yueyang, did you have that divine cherry tree when you were in the Inazuma Ancient Era?"

"Of course there is~"

Yue Yang said as a matter of course: "After all, we often had dinner under the sacred cherry tree back then~"

At this point, he turned his head to Shadow and asked with a smile, "Are you right, Shadow?"

Shadow didn't answer right away, as she was hesitating.

In her memory, there are indeed fond memories of having dinner together under the cherry tree.

But it was only a giant crimson cherry tree, not a sacred cherry tree that ran through the entire Shadow Mountain.

"Hmm... I see."

Shadow could only nod faintly.

After all, she was tired of explaining about this matter a long time ago.

What's more, everyone has returned, and whether the sacred cherry tree has existed since ancient times is not a very important matter for her.

Because this topic is really inconclusive.

Shadow could only turn his head, look into the distance, and said lightly, "According to my investigation, there is the last group of monsters in front of me."

The three nodded.

As long as you don't mention sad topics anymore, then it's easy to say anything.

So the three of them followed the shadow and rushed towards the last area where the beast hound appeared.

A few minutes later, the group came to a cave somewhere on the edge of the barren sea.

As far as the eye can see, in such a narrow cave, there are still dozens of beast realm hounds entrenched in the cave.

I saw the shadow step forward and said lightly, "Just like just now, leave it all to me."

Paimon quickly thrust in and said, "Hey, are you sure you're okay?" Don't scare us~"

Obviously, Paimon was referring to Shadow's physical condition before.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that in the previous battle, the performance of the shadow was a little unsatisfactory. "It's okay."

Shadow just shook her head faintly, "Fighting is what I'm most familiar with."

The shadow said it, and he didn't wait for everyone's reaction.

With a long knife in hand, he rushed directly towards the beast realm hound legion in the cave.

At the beginning, Shadow's battle was still smooth and overcome.

But suddenly, Shadow's body suddenly froze.

At the same moment, a beast hound bit its fangs and bit towards Shadowflutter.

"Be careful!"

Yue Yang immediately stepped forward.

"Rock as Safe!!"

"Boom!!"

A pillar of rock rises from the ground.

Immediately shook the beast realm hound that was about to bite away towards the shadow.

"Shadow~ Are you alright?"

Paimon asked anxiously.

"I'm fine... I..."

Shadow's words were full of insincerity......

Yue Yang just wanted to step forward and hold her up and tell her not to continue fighting.

Who would have thought, Shadow picked up the long knife again and ran towards the beast realm hounds.

The first few knives did cut off the heads of several beast realm hounds.

But in the next moment.

In the moment of confrontation with a large beast realm hound, Ei's body once again appeared unnaturally stiff.

Yue Yang's eyes were quick, and he held the shadow in his arms.

At the same time, the golden sword came out of his hand, slashing the beast hound under the sword.

"Whew..."

The beast hound let out a wail of pain.

Yue Yang lowered his head to the shadow in his arms and asked, "It's okay, why don't you leave it to me?"

"Yes, yes~"

Paimon also chimed in, "Shadow your state is not right, so don't hold on~"

"I... I'm sorry..."

Shadow clutched her chest slightly.

Looking at the eyes, it seems to be very uncomfortable.

"It's okay, you can rest in the back first, and I'll deal with the monsters."

Yue Yang said calmly. 藲礿尛裞網

"Hmm... Okay."

Shadow nodded slightly.

But at the moment when she just spoke.

A large amount of white smoke suddenly rose from the cave.

I saw a heavily armed squad of the Shogunate Army coming out of the white smoke and into the cave.

"Here?"

The leader of the general looked suspicious.

Glancing around, he was the first to see Ying and Paimon.

"You are—"

"Ah, the Shogun is here, too!"

The general immediately anxiously led the team and walked towards the shadow, looked at the shadow's back and said respectfully, "General, are you injured?"

"It's fine, it's just a little stiff."

Ying pretends to be strong, trying not to let the generals find out about her weakness.

But...

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the girl in front of her is obviously weak, which is still different from the majestic Raiden General before.

Without saying a word, the leader directly led the team to block in front of Shadow, and said with a firm gaze: "I, the shogunate samurai, will definitely protect the safety of the shogun until the last moment!"

As soon as the words fell.

The samurai squad squatted down in unison and prepared to draw their swords.

Seeing this scene, the beast realm hounds seemed to be provoked, and they bared their teeth and opened their mouths one after another.

"Brothers! The monsters are coming! Up!"

The leader of the generals was the first to shout.

"No, it's too dangerous!"

Shadow subconsciously wanted to stop it.

But the leader of the generals chose to disobey the order, and responded in a firm tone: "This is our duty! If you were afraid of danger, you wouldn't have taken up arms in the first place."

The soldiers on the side also looked at the shadow with firm eyes and said, "Don't worry, General, it is in this predicament that the power given to us by the gods is more meaningful!"

"It's... Vision of God~!"

It was then that Paimon realized that the soldier had a thunder elemental Vision on his waist.
