The Second Generation of Knights Encountering Demons Reappears

"..."

x2.

The two looked at each other in silence, and finally burst out laughing in unison.

While they felt that their quarrel was a bit childish, their impressions of each other in their hearts once again increased a lot.

…

After breaking up with Chen Shi, Hikigaya Hachiman hesitated again and again, and finally chose to call Hayama Hayato.

Again, although he disliked Hayama Hayato and had friction with each other, he still admitted that he was a better fighter than himself.

Under the current circumstances, I have the obligation to warn the other party in advance to prevent the other party from suffering a loss due to insufficient information.

The perspective of the picture came to an abandoned warehouse as the call came in. Hayama Hayato, who we haven't appeared in for a long time, is rinsing his hair with the tap water that comes here while silently listening to Hikigaya Hachiman's call. message.

When he heard that Hikigaya Hachiman's belt had been snatched and that the opponent's next target was likely to be him, Hayama Hayato's lips curled up slightly.

"It seems like this guy has gotten rid of his confusion period, although he is still so useless..."

Hayama Hayato, who put down the water pipe and smoothed his wet blond hair into a slicked back, narrowed his eyes and turned to look at the red-haired man who had come to the door.

"Hmph, even the information provided is outdated and useless."

The two men looked at each other from a distance of several meters, and Ryūen Sho's smile became more and more ferocious.

"It's you, Faiz has been defeated by me, and you are next, Caesar!"

"..."

Looking back at this arrogant man in silence, if Hayama Hayato would make a few mocking words when he treated Hikigaya Hachiman, then when he treated Ofei Enoch, he had only one response.

"Transform!"

There was a flash of yellow light, and Caesar, filled with murderous intent, walked towards Faiz on the opposite side with vigorous steps. 】

988

Chapter 988 Choice.

["Damn it, does that guy Hayama know about it?"

Seeing that since leaving a message to Hayama Hayato yesterday, he has not been able to wait for a reply from the other party. Hikigaya Hachiman, who was already in a bad mood because his belt was taken away, has become visibly worse in his mental state in the past two days. Getting irritable.

I don't know why I spoke to Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui, but I could only pretend to be okay and go to work for them in the pizza shop while waiting for news from Hayama Hayato. This feeling of powerlessness swept through Hikigaya Hachiman's heart all the time, making him Every time he thought about it, he couldn't help clenching his fists.

However, no matter how anxious he felt at the moment, the fact was still cruel.

Apart from accepting this situation, there was nothing he could do to address this situation.

--unless……

A haze flashed across Hikigaya Hachiman's dead fish eyes. Just when he couldn't help but frown deeply, a cold touch suddenly touched his cheek, waking him up from this anxiety. come over.

"Whoa!"

Startled by such a sudden attack, Hikigaya Hachiman jumped up from his seat like a cat frightened by a cucumber, and an inhuman wail came from his throat.

This series of funny actions caused the instigator to burst out laughing like a silver bell, and also allowed Hikigaya Hachiman to see clearly who was coming.

"Your reaction is really interesting, Hikigaya-kun."

"Really, don't scare me, Manager Ichinose."

As Hikigaya Hachiman complained, the pink-haired beauty whose waist was shaking with laughter wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and placed the canned drink in her hand on the counter.

"Sorry, sorry, I just want to cheer up Hikigaya-kun. Hikigaya-kun's eyes are already a bit stern, and if you keep a straight face like this, you will scare the guests."

"..."

Hikigaya Hachiman, who thought the other party was complaining that he was in a mood to go to work, paused slightly. He himself also knew that his state did cause trouble for the work in the store. His dead fish eyes would have been difficult to leave a good impression on others. The first impression, coupled with his current ferocious expression, the effect is by no means as simple as 1+1=2.

However, things like mood cannot be adjusted by just adjusting. Sighing, Hikigaya Hachiman reluctantly picked up the drink the other party gave him and took a sip.

"I'm sorry, I will try my best to adjust my mentality. Don't worry, I'm just here to cover the shift for a few days. When Yukinoshita and the others recover, they won't need me anymore."

"Ahaha, I don't dislike you."

Realizing that Hikigaya Hachiman had obviously misunderstood what he meant, Ichinose Honami, who originally just wanted to comfort him after seeing him in a bad mood, smiled awkwardly.

But she said what needed to be said. As a store manager, she couldn't really care that much, so she could only turn around and take out a few boxes of packaged pizza from the kitchen as if to change the subject.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. There are still some takeaways from Seven Chome that I need you to deliver. Remember to keep smiling~"

"Come again? Store manager, you are very good at calling people."

Hikigaya Hachiman, who had just delivered a takeout, sighed again. He was secretly amazed at the popularity of this store. Suddenly, he felt that the drinks he got for free were no longer so fragrant.

"Hey, otherwise I wouldn't be in such a hurry to recruit people. Anyway, I'm leaving it to you, Hikigaya-kun."

"knew."

Looking at Ichinose Honami who clasped his hands and stuck out his tongue at him, Hikigaya Hachiman took the takeout and left the pizza shop.

Watching his figure disappearing into the store, Ichinose Honami also smiled bitterly and touched his cheek.

"Oh, as expected, no matter who you are, you will have your own troubles."

At this moment, the door that had been closed was pushed open again, and another worker in the store pushed the door open and walked in.

Seeing this black-haired young man who came to work in the store at about the same time as Hikigaya Hachiman, the smile on Ichinose Honami's face quickly changed back to the gentle feeling before.

"Oh, you came at just the right time, Chen Shijun."

Regarding Chen Shi, Ichinose Honami felt that he was much more reassuring than the boring gourd Hikigaya Hachiman. After all, this person had a really good personality. While doing things seriously, his mental state was much better than the latter.

"Hikigaya-kun is going to deliver food now. Can you please check the store for a while? I have something to go out later."

"Ah, that's fine."

Chen Zhao nodded, but soon showed doubts.

Based on his observations over the past two days, the Ichinose store manager is quite craftsmanlike.

In order to be able to serve quality pizza to customers with her own hands, she usually stays in the store and waits. Even if she asks part-time chefs like them, she will only let them be responsible for cooking other than pizza.

It's really rare to suddenly go out during work hours like this.

"Store manager, what are you going to do?"

"Haha, it's just some personal matters."

Ichinose Honami didn't give a clear reason for going out. She just smiled and pointed to the boiler in the kitchen.

"I baked a few pizzas in advance, and then just take them out when the time is up. If there are customers ordering while I'm away, I'll trouble you."

"Well, I understand."

Chen Zhu nodded and turned around and walked to the store's dressing room without thinking too much. However, when he passed the counter, he spotted an unopened bottle of champagne from the corner of his eye.

Chen swears that his family background was of an upper-middle level. Although he doesn't know everything about wine, he has at least heard of some famous brands, among which this bottle of champagne happens to be among them.

"I really can't tell. Does the store manager still like to drink?"

Chen Zhao didn't have much thoughts about this. He just sighed secretly in his heart and quickly put the matter behind him. 】

However, although Chen Shi did not know the origin and meaning of this bottle of champagne, the audience in front of the screen had much more information than Chen Shi.

Many spectators expressed astonishment at the appearance of this bottle of wine, especially the students from the High Education High School who were the most surprised.

Gaoyu Student: Is it true or false? Why is Ichinose also Enoch?

Tool Room: Is this weird? Since several other class leaders are already Aoife Enoch, is it strange that she is not Aoife Enoch?

Gaoyu student: Okay, that seems to be the case.

Dragon Boy: And he will be given champagne, which means that Ichinose is Aoife Enoch who is unwilling to kill people. Hmm, it fits my impression of that guy.

Sickly Alice: Oops, looking at the development of the plot, Ichinose-san is probably being targeted by me. How pitiful.

Fei Bo: Really? I think it's pretty good, at least I don't have to see another me killing anyone. I just don’t know what kind of animal I am, Orpheus Enoch?

[As the audience guessed, Ichinose Honami was indeed being targeted by Sakayanagi Yusu at this time.

Originally, after finding the very interesting toy Chen Oath, Sakayanagi Arisu planned to temporarily put aside the hunting of other unqualified Aoife Enoch and have fun with Chen Oath.

At that time, Kamuro Masumi was allowed to go back to rest, thinking that he could play for a while longer.

After all, Chen Zhao's strength can only be equal to that of a cadre-level weirdo at most. If two people go together, there is no guarantee that the other party will give up resistance directly.

If that were the case, Sakayanagi Yusu thought it would be too boring.

It's just that the plan couldn't keep up with the change. Just when Yusu Sakayanagi was observing Chen Ou and thinking about how to maximize the fun with this man, another figure broke into her field of vision, which quickly made the girl's mind come alive. , an interesting plan gradually took shape in her mind, and drove her to take action.

"Is that the bottle of champagne you sent me? What exactly do you want to do?"

Time returned to the present. Following the request written in the letter sent with the champagne, the anxious-looking Honami came to the woods alone as the agreed place, where he met Yu Sakayanagi. Su and another follower Aoife, the beetle she called to take over.

Ichinose Honami was very uneasy about the content mentioned in the letter that would threaten his current stable life.

This uneasiness was noticed by Yusu Sakayanagi, but he received only contempt and disdain in return.

Unlike Ryuuen Sho who regards Enoch simply as a strength, Yusu Sakayanagi has his own unique insights into Enoch.

In her opinion, Aoife Enoch is an unparalleled talent, a transformation beyond the limit. All Aoife Enoch should not let their talents become dusty and hide this talent. To her, it is An unquestionable waste.

Take herself as an example. Because of becoming Aoife Enoch, she got rid of her original weak body, gained a new life that she had never had before, and climbed all the way to her current status.

Therefore, she always has certain expectations for people who can evolve into Aoife Enoch like herself. No matter how, she hopes to see the shining points and possibilities in these people that fascinate her.

At this point, Chen Shi satisfied her expectations very well.

Even though the vision he pursued for harmonious coexistence with Enoch was contrary to the company's current policy, Arisu Sakayanagi, who had read countless people, could see that the reason for his doing so was not to avoid Enoch's identity. But after accepting it, you make the choice based on your own heart.

This made the girl curious.

She wanted to witness the end of this choice.

I want to see if this talent will transform into something more dazzling after experiencing more, or if it will be just a short-lived miracle like a shooting star.

And now, an opportunity appeared in front of Sakayanagi Yusu.

Seeing Honami Ichinose who was still unwilling to transform and resist despite being choked by the beetle Aoife in front of him, Yusu Sakayanagi's face was filled with disappointment and a cold arc appeared on his face.

"Now, I can give you one last chance..."

…

"Is this right here?"

Soon after, he received a strange text message from Ichinose Honami. Chen Shi, who ran to the woods out of worry, saw at a glance that he was being attacked by the beetle Offee and the lobster Offee. The store manager lady.

"Store manager!"

Since there was a precedent of Hikigaya Hachiman being implicated by him before, Chen Shi, whose expression changed greatly, did not think too much. He only thought that Ichinose Honami was implicated by him again, and then he was attacked.

When he thought that he had once again implicated others, Chen Shi's mind suddenly became hot. He roared and immediately rushed forward.

Taking advantage of the fact that the beetle Ofi didn't react, he directly knocked the opponent away and released the guy's restraint on Ichinose Honami.

"Ahem!"

Feeling that the fingers gripping his throat loosened, Ichinose Honami sat down on the ground, looking at Chen Shi with complex expressions in his eyes.

"Chen Xiaojun, you have to be careful!"

"Leave this to me! Store manager, hurry up and leave!"

Not noticing anything unusual in Ichinose Honami's tone, Chen Shi casually grabbed a branch and threw it at the beetle Aoife.

Maybe it's because he has better physical fitness than ordinary people now, maybe it's because Ao Fei, the beetle, has never seen such a fierce and fearless ordinary person. When he lost the opportunity, he actually did it. Being hit so hard by the opponent that I couldn't help it, I could only retreat while trying hard to regroup.

But everyone knows that this temporary advantage is nothing but a mirror.

It's impossible for a mere piece of wood to break through Enoch's defense. When Aoife, the beetle, gets used to it, Chen Shi, who doesn't want to transform, will never be his opponent.

Seeing Chen Oath, who knew this, and was gradually sweating profusely, Sakayanagi Yusu, who had never moved, raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

——Okay, how should you choose? Is it to reveal the identity of Aoife Enoch in front of ordinary people in your eyes, or to usher in death like this?

Sakayanagi Arisu was waiting, waiting for what choice Chen Shi would make in the dilemma he had woven.

However, there is one person who does not intend to follow Sakayanagi Arisu's script obediently.

"squeak--"
