After pulling the distance, the Otherworldly Light lowered his head and caressed the cracks in his armor in disbelief.

"What are you kidding, you will touch it, I will never admit it!"

"It's a villain's deathbed declaration...... Even if you claim to be betraying your past self (Secondary 2 graduate), you should remember that there are some things you can't say, right? ”

After a long choking sound, the otherworldly light removed the heavy armor that had been blasted away, and stood face to face with the other self in his regular clothes.

Hikari was silent for a while, and then said incredulously: "Why...... How come, nothing has changed? ”

"Ask yourself, how do I know?"

Although he has grown taller, he has not changed much from Hikari as a high school student - in other words, Hikaru (who is out of school) has not changed much from Hikari a junior high school student, and has plunged his nameless heavy sword into the devastated ground.

Although the two had poured most of their power into each other, it was already ravaged like a truck running over a piece of foam cardboard.

"In that case, let me finish you off in earnest."

"You can't do it."

Rin Hori, whose mentality is gradually floating because of the upgrade of his combat power, and Hikaru Otherworld, who claims that he has not yet used his full strength, are eager to start the second round.

But at this moment, between the two who were about to make a move, a colorless and transparent twisted vortex suddenly opened.

The little girl, covered in blood, fell from it and rolled to the side of the otherworldly light.

Rin Hori, who had never seen her, hesitated, while the other Hikaru kicked her in disgust.

"Vomit ......"

The other party vomited a large amount of blood again because of this action, and it was only then that Rinko Hori discovered the horrific wound on her body.

It's almost as if it's been cut off by something.,There's only a little flesh and skin on the upper half of the body and the lower body.。

"Hey, you're not going to die like that, are you?"

The otherworldly light picked her up and shook it, and Rinko Hori, who saw their communication, also realized who it was.

It's Lilith in another of her own mouth, the president of the Unification Society!

"It's almost a little bit, but it's not dead, so it's my victory!"

A dying Lilith coughed up a large unidentified fragment of an organ, "But you might be able to shake it any longer." The conditions for the second step of the plan have been met, and we will quickly withdraw. ”

The otherworldly light glanced at Rinko Hori unwillingly, and finally nodded: "Next time, we will divide the winner." ”

"Don't just think about it!"

The light that was attempted to intercept was blocked by the otherworldly light, and the two people who caused the incident were gradually engulfed in the distorted space.

"Don't be in such a hurry, the final battle will come soon, today will be considered a formal declaration of war - the villain boss and the hero of the savior, as well as those of you who are involved in the story, I will prepare the corresponding stage."

After leaving a proclamatory word, they vanished where they were.

Then, the dark space with only one person left began to crumble from the edge.

*

"Did this happen after that?"

The white ceiling overlooked the girl lying on the hospital bed, the smell of disinfectant water seemed to be dispelled by the sunlight shining into the room, so faint that it was almost impossible to smell, and a few clusters of tender yellow osmanthus flowers poked out of the corners of the window, swaying slightly in the wind.

The boy sitting on the edge of the bed turned his knife, cut off the last piece of peel, and handed the apple to Hikari, who was half-leaning on the head of the bed.

She took it, stared at it for a moment, and then puffed out her cheeks.

"I want the rabbit-like kind."

"Huh? I'm not very good at cutting that. ”

Hikari pressed his heart, and his face was expressionless: "I fought hard until I fainted, but I couldn't even get such a simple reward in the end-"

"Fortunately, I can't learn, it's really convenient in the information age!"

It's been three days since the battle was not completely over.

After wielding the sword blessed with the power of the Mekhan, the alternate dimension that Lilith called pure white Eden was cut open like a plain piece of paper.

Along with the fracture, there was also her body.

But before he could confirm his life and death or make up for the sword, the other party disappeared in the collapse of space, and when he left, he saw the circular platform that had experienced a big battle, the other dimension where the Demon King City was also located, and the light that fell into a coma.

Although she was not seriously injured, the battle with the otherworldly light was still too overloaded for her, so that as soon as the two of them in a hostile position left, their tense bodies suddenly relaxed.

He almost died in the aftermath of the war.

After that, things were simple, as Lilith retreated, the school building returned to normal, and after he took the light and joined the three outside, he found that Chiyo City had completely returned to its original world and reconnected with the outside world.

The foundation of the summoning technique was destroyed, and the otherworldly catastrophe that might have been about to collide was stopped, confirming his conjecture that the other party's true purpose was not this.

The magical girl who contacted Shiratori Maai's countermeasures bureau after the incident also met with them, and in addition to discovering that the other party was an old acquaintance of Hoshikawa Aoi, so their mutual trust increased, and they also exchanged information about Lilith and her big plan that was still partially in the fog.

After hearing this, the other party hurriedly left Chiyo City, and said that he would contact them again later, hoping to find an opportunity to completely kill the super dangerous element with the size of a young girl, Li Wu naturally agreed.

After that, Hikaru, who was in a coma for two days and finally woke up yesterday, learned from her mouth about Lilith's last movements and the process of fighting her in another world.

"Aunt Yuko, I'll help you cope with it with the reason of club travel."

Li Wu wanted to speak and stopped, "Actually, at that time...... It's okay if you don't have to work so hard, right? ”

He handed over a second apple, and a bunch of flesh in the shape of a rabbit was neatly arranged on the plate.

Hikari didn't answer his question, but stared at the fruit bowl for a moment.

"It's ugly."

"Hey!"

"Xiao Wu, the quality of the ingredients is important, and the cooking techniques cannot be ignored."

"You don't want to give a food cartoon judge's speech about the fruit that you use to visit the sick, okay?"

Having said that, seeing that she could play dumb again with all her vitality, Li Wu still felt a lot more relieved.

"You guys are the ones who pay attention to the occasion and don't make a lot of noise in the hospital."

There were not only two childhood sweethearts in the ward, but the other three members of the club were also present.

The person who is scolding them a little unpleasantly now is Aoi Hoshikawa, an active magical girl and a high school girl girl.

She waved her hand at the nurse who heard the movement and entered the door, indicating that she was okay, and glared at the light.

"I said...... This guy is actually fully recovered, right? ”

Hoshikawa Aoi wrenched his fingers, "There were no injuries in the first place, but after waking up yesterday, I was already able to jump around and stay in the hospital, and I want you to continue to stay here for a night, and even the few remaining wounds have completely healed today!" ”

Hikari's eyes dimmed, and he looked out the window sadly, and squeezed out a choked voice from his throat: "I'm sorry, I can't get as well as a magical girl with a sturdy body, and I'm causing trouble for everyone-"

"Don't learn to love Risa! And who are you satirizing? ”

"Huh? Am I being scolded? ”

In the corner, Arisa and Shiratori Maki, who were discussing two wonderful questions related to medical treatment, "Can vampires donate blood be used by humans?" and "Can vampires who donate blood be called vampire".

"I didn't scold you - this time alone can be regarded as a great effort to solve the incident, and it won't be good to rest for a few days."

Li Wu looked at Xingchuan Aoi, "Xingchuan, be gentle with the sick number." ”

“…… Gentle? Sick?! ”

The magical girl looked choked as if she had a groove and couldn't vomit.

"Then again, Xiao Wu came too late at that time."

The light retracted freely and returned to his original plain expression, grabbing his sleeve as if complaining, pulling it back and forth on the white sheet, drawing folds one after another.

"Generally speaking, don't you wait until your teammates are about to lose, and the hero steps on the stage to win the opponent? Waiting for the battle to end after she passed out before she appeared, it can already be regarded as the protagonist's disqualification. ”

"That's just Lilith's own opinion, who would think of herself as the protagonist of the world."

"Even now, isn't it usually in the manga that the male protagonist is taken to the hospital after the battle and the female protagonist comes to take care of it? Why is the situation the other way around? ”

"Wow, this person is calling himself a heroine."

Hoshikawa Aoi imitated Li Wugang's sentence and complained on the chair of the ward, "Even if what the boss of the Guiyi Club said is true, it's obvious that I'm the one, right?" ”

Ignoring her, he continued to conclude: "So the disqualified Xiao Wu must be punished. ”

"All of a sudden I'm guilty?"

"That's—"

Her gaze swept around the room, and finally settled on the apple in front of her, "Come and feed me." ”

Shiratori Maki held down in amazement, and the head of Arisa, who was completely engaged in the topic just now, and was imagining the beautiful scene of organizing her compatriots to establish a charitable blood donation organization and reaping a large number of fans who admired her on the Internet, made her stop talking.

"Could it be that in the battle with the other self, the light has liberated the true power?"

"Xiaoguang is not a god of death."

Her whispers drew a complaint from Arisa.

Li Wu glanced at Aoi Hoshikawa, who had turned his head away, and found a toothpick on the bedside table.

No direct contact...... It's still in the realm of security, right?

Although he actually felt that the light should be fine, but this time she was really hard in every sense, so he didn't want to refuse the rare request.

She had opened her mouth slightly, and she was in a posture waiting to be fed.

In retrospect, the last time I did this was during the festival, and although it wasn't actually a long time, it may have been a long time since so much happened.

Li Wu picked a piece and pierced it with a toothpick, and kept his mind calm and handed it into the other party's mouth.

The small teeth crush the juicy flesh, the pink tongue helps to squeeze out the sweetness, and the transparent apple juice mixed with saliva flows from the corners of the mouth, and then is licked back by the protruding tip of the tongue, and there is no waste at all.

It's not a fucking security field at all!

The hand holding the toothpick couldn't help but tremble slightly with the vague sense of strong murder, and Hikari, who had eaten the first piece, had tilted his head and waited for the next feeding.

"Just use your hands this time, right? Toothpicks feel too inconvenient. ”

"Okay, I'll feed you, Rin-san."

I don't know when he flashed to the position next to the bed and picked up a large piece of rabbit apple that Li Wu drove over, and stuffed it into the other party's mouth with a smile, "You're welcome, you have to eat it all." ”

Like a hamster, the cheeks were chewed by the light held high in the air for a while before finally swallowing, and then looked at her.

"This is the last time — no, the penultimate one."

"Huh? What's the penultimate one? Threat? ”

Hoshikawa Aoi looked at the smiling girl on the hospital bed in confusion and fell into deep thought.

"Xiao Wu, I want to see Osmanthus."

At this moment, Hikari suddenly lifted the quilt and pleaded, "Let's go together." ”

After making sure that she was fully able to walk and deciding to leave the hospital after reading it, the group came to the courtyard outside the window.

The flowers I had just seen in the corner of the window had changed from a few clusters to a starry sky, releasing a refreshing fragrance, and patients could be seen doing rehabilitation exercises and simply basking in the sun.

"This time, I didn't defeat the other me."

After finding a laurel tree in a relatively remote location, Hikari suddenly provoked this topic that everyone deliberately avoided in the conversation.

Including Li Wu, intellectually, he also knew that the light was fundamentally the same person as the girl he had known since childhood, but emotionally, the light he knew had never left this world, let alone led the people to defeat the demon king and came back and mingled with the super strong young girl.

Especially when the other party is still strongly hostile to the light on their side, it is a little difficult for him to imagine what it will be like when they actually meet.

"Thanks to her, I was able to see my true self clearly and gain the courage to step forward so that I didn't become like that."

Saying that he seemed to be committing another second illness, he grabbed a falling osmanthus petal and looked up at the sky, "The next time I see her, I want to defeat her and pass on what I understand." ”

"Do it if you want to."

Although she didn't know what she understood, Li Wu still encouraged with a very good atmosphere.

"Hmm."

Hikari nodded, then looked at the other three, "Now that she and that Lilith are still on the run, and have made a declaration that they will fight us, at this time, there can be no infighting like before." ”

"Rin-san? You're not being taken away by another you, are you? ”

Hoshikawa Aoi seems to be looking at a stranger.

Is this flow, is the last time she says to mean the last time she will do something that will provoke her to anger?

But doesn't this seem like forcing her to cut off her childhood sweetheart, wouldn't it be too cruel?

While she gradually struggled and Shiratori Mai and Airisa expressed their support, Hikari continued to make a righteous speech: "I also want to apologize again for what happened before, it's too ugly to act like that and put yourself in danger." ”

"Light, you're finally ......"

Li Wu was almost in tears.

This child, after experiencing a battle with another self, has finally grown up.

In the end, the girl who was a childhood friend looked at him.

"Although it wasn't all good this time...... But just like Xiao Wu said to me in the third seal, I am also very happy to be able to recall the important time that belongs to our past together. ”

Like a teacher listening to a student's graduation speech up close, Li Wu stood upright, staring into her eyes, surrounded by Aoi Hoshikawa, Mai Shiratori, and Arisa, and almost applauded Rinmitsu Hori's excellent performance.

"Do you remember the letter you found in my house the day before it happened?"

She asked suddenly.

"In that cardboard box?"

Li Wu was stunned for a moment, "By the way, speaking of the name of the place written on it, doesn't it correspond to the scene of the Quadruple Seal?" Why ......"

"Its true meaning is to lead Xiao Wu to the last thing, and that is—"

Speaking of the halfway point, Hikari turned pale and covered his chest in pain.

"Light?!"

Because it was completely different from the previous expressionless reaction, which was completely different from the acting skills at a glance, Li Wu's first thought at a moment was whether there was any imperceptible dark wound.

He immediately lifted up the thin figure that was about to fall, and the other party wrapped his arms around his neck as if he was looking for support.

Then, the brightly colored osmanthus flowers are blown up by the wind and fall like the sun raining.

It is said that the falling speed of cherry blossoms is 5 centimeters per second, so I am afraid that it will not be too far to change to another flower.

The heat and sweetness from the girl's cherry lips were too fast for such a slow fall, bursting explosively long before the raindrops of petals reached the ground, encroaching on every corner of nerves.

One touch is the one - after all, there is no such thing as a stupid fool who holds his posture after being suddenly kissed, so Li Wu pressed on Guang's shoulder and pushed her away the moment he realized that something was wrong.

But what happens after pushing it away?

Not to mention him, even the three onlookers were down.

The ruddy-faced girl withdrew her tiptoes, pulled up her bare legs under the hem of her skirt, breathed a little rapidly, and even relaxed the arms that hugged each other, and a few of her already messy hair were now even raised in the wind and floated from the side of her face into her mouth.

She compared her erected index finger to Aoi Hoshikawa.,After conveying the meaning that this is the real last time.,Cast her eyes on her childhood friend again-

No, it's for the object of love.

"That's what I want to convey at the end of the letter."

It was as if even the sound of the wind had fallen silent, and only the sound of light still flowed.

"Even though the last notebook has been burned during the battle, I don't have a problem repeating it as many times as I want."

She completely let go of her hands and put them behind her back, "-Xiao Wu, congratulations on unlocking the secret of the four seals, you will be surprised to see what is inside, right?" It was a promise we made back then, miracles accumulated by the magic of time, and I hope you will cherish them as much as I do. Then, at the end of the day, I want to say my once-in-a-lifetime request. ”

"It's not [thanksgiving for meeting], it's not [witnessing fantasy], it's not even [always together]......"

The contents of the first three seals skimmed over one by one, making way for the last thing to say.

"I want to kiss, I want to hug each other, I want to be a half-naked childhood sweetheart, I want to become an ordinary couple."

Light leaned over, took a small step forward, and looked at his face from the bottom up.

"-So, please join me in upgrading the former covenant to a more advanced, lovers' contract."

The fourth seal corresponds to the ridiculous demon-summoning building they once built on the roof of the junior high school teaching building.

In other words, its true face is actually just a long time of planning, but because of a lack of courage, it never sent the original invitation, and finally missed it by mistake, and now it is evoked by another self like a mirror-

It's just a confession on the rooftop.

On the side of the defendant, the white side felt that the brain was slowly stirred by too much emotion.

It's like the first time I saw a fairy visiting your house in the snow, and the impact spread unbelievably throughout your body.

As if hallucinating, the suggestion from a light family hovered back in his mind.

"Hori Rin Hikari."

The falling flowers in one place were torn apart by the raging magic, and after Shiratori Mao pulled Arisa and reacted, someone who began to release a steady stream of cold murderous aura distanced himself.

"I just said that the enemy is at present, and there can be no more infighting like this, and everyone agrees."

Hikari was calm and put away his shyness.

"You...... What I just said was a foreshadowing for this? ”

Hoshikawa Aoi couldn't believe that there were such brazen people in the world, "Then what do you mean by the last time?!" ”

She has mixed feelings right now.

The previous tangle was simply fed to the dogs!

"That, of course, means that it won't be like the second and third seals, using tricks to win, and winning attention by tying chains to the people you like - Hoshikawa-san, no, Xiaokui is also angry because of this, right?"

"I can't deny it, but I don't mean to let you do this! And don't set at this time closely! ”

Unexpectedly, he raised a big trouble!

Hori Rinko felt as if time had gone back to when the two first met, and the snowflakes that day were like the osmanthus rain falling in autumn, falling on the shoulders and neckline, bringing an itchy and crispy feeling.

She nodded her lips: "So, it was the last time I used deception." ”

"From now on, it's an official declaration of war."

The girl under the flower smiled brightly.
