The Second Generation of Knights Encountering Demons Reappears

"Kotori..."

Seeing Minami Kotori leave angrily, Honoka Takasaka wanted to catch up to stop her, but in the end she could only sigh and sit back in her seat. Nagasaki Motoyo patted her on the shoulder and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If possible, the two would also like to tell their companions the truth of the matter.

But there is no way. Not telling others about Helheim is the conclusion they came to after returning to integrate intelligence.

Based on the way the World Tree Consortium has acted so far, they have an unimaginable obsession with concealing the matter of Helheim, even to the extent that they would rather ignore the foreigners who are causing trouble and give priority to dealing with the traces of cracks.

Facing such a group of crazy adults, people like Honoka Takasaka and Motoyo Nagasaki who have the power of armored knights are fine. If they find out that a group of powerless high school girls are investigating this matter everywhere, the consequences are something they absolutely don't want to bear.

Don't say that you can ask Minami Kotori and others to keep this matter secret. The control of the World Tree Foundation over Zemei City is definitely beyond the imagination of a group of female high school students. For a key target like Rhythm Knight, even if you can't help but Google a few keywords on the search engine, you may be visited that night to check the water meter.

The two armored knights who have been exposed are fine. The World Tree Foundation may choose to turn a blind eye because they want to collect data from the driver. As for other members, the best way is to prevent them from having this awareness at all.

This is the case with Honoka Kosaka and Soyo Nagasaki.

The latter is even worried that she may fall into the dilemma of having to choose between her current friends and Shoko Toyokawa in the future, so she has made up her mind not to let more people participate in this matter.

"Ah, is there no better solution?"

Honoka Kosaka rubbed her head in distress. As she knew more things, she did not feel the pleasure of seeing the light, but became more distressed. For a moment, she didn't know what to do.

"Damn world Shu..."

"Honoka!"

Seeing that Takasaka Honoka almost said that name in public, Nagasaki Suyo was frightened and quickly reached out to cover the orange idiot's mouth.

She sighed, and in the aggrieved look of Takasaka Honoka who realized it belatedly, she said what she thought was the most appropriate measure to take at present.

"I think what we should do most now is to try to avoid using the Sengoku drive before the new information is obtained.

After all, the fundamental purpose of giving us the drive is to collect data from us. In this case, not transforming will definitely delay the progress of their plan."

"Alas, but this is only a temporary solution. Even if we can avoid transforming, other armored knights will definitely continue to use the drive. Sato and Aqua may be able to communicate with benefits, but Jiedou and Uncle Huanglian will never listen to us."

Perhaps the situation is indeed quite serious. Takasaka Honoka rarely uses her brain to follow Nagasaki Suyo's thinking.

Thinking of the stubborn behavior of the banana man and the muscle uncle, both of them had a distorted expression on their faces, as if they had eaten half a worm when eating fruit.

Nagasaki Motoyo sighed for the second time. As smart as she was, she had no way to deal with those two people, but she had already considered this factor when she proposed to delay the progress.

"As long as the progress over there can be delayed a little, I have some ways to continue the investigation here. All it takes is time."

"Huh! Really?"

Hearing Nagasaki Motoyo's words, Takasaka Honoka was overjoyed.

She felt that Nagasaki Motoyo was really reliable.

Whether it was the previous Bat Alien incident or this time's Lock Seed Game, every time it was Nagasaki Motoyo who made plans behind the scenes to achieve results again and again, so she believed the other party's statement that there was a way to continue the investigation without much thought.

"Is there anything I can help you with? I can help you with anything!"

"Well... Please, Honoka, try to stop the fights between other armored knights during this time. We really need time now."

"Got it, leave it to me!"

...

Perspective change.

Minami Kotori, who was pissed off by the two, was in a bad mood when she found out that the wooden man, Honoka Takasaka, didn't come out to chase her.

In fact, the real reason why Minami Kotori was angry was not only because the two of them acted first and then asked for permission, but also because of a sense of worry that always rose in her heart for some reason.

She had a vague feeling that the deeper she got involved with the forest, the more unfortunate everyone would become.

But this was just an unfounded feeling. On the surface, Honoka Takasaka and the others were looking for the missing Umi Sonoda, and they also had the power of the armored knights to protect themselves. Minami Kotori, who knew nothing about the forest, couldn't find any reason to stop them from going to the forest.

"Stupid Honoka! You and your driver will live forever! And Suyo is also a fool, actually fooling around with stupid Honoka!"

She kicked the small stone at her feet to vent her anger. When Minami Kotori moved her eyes along the trajectory of the stone, a black and red back suddenly came into view.

"Oh no, be careful..."

"Pah!"

Without looking back, he felt the sound of breaking air behind him. The figure reached back and grabbed the stone directly in his palm.

Qi Wen Jie Dou shook the stone in his hand. The fierce eyes staring at the back became more restrained after seeing Nan Xiao Niao's cute face in panic.

"It's you."

After throwing the stone casually, Qi Wen Jie Dou turned around with his hands in his pockets and looked at the World Tree Tower in the distance.

"I'm fine, you go."

"Why go!"

Ignoring Qi Wen Jie Dou's cold temperament, Nan Xiao Niao hurried over and forcibly pulled out his hand that was put back in his pocket for inspection.

Qi Wen Jie Dou's eyebrows twitched wildly throughout the whole process. He wanted to pull his hand back but didn't dare to use too much force. The temperament of deep hatred and deep hatred that he had accumulated was directly broken. 】

It was simply the sound of nature: Oh! What a nagging Arrogant Jiao!

The dead fish eyes of the Great Teacher: I still like your original rebellious look, please change back.

Gaming: Meh! This shrewd banana, now he can't even beat women, this is bad luck.

Minami Dayori: Hehe~ It seems that this guy was eaten to death by my daughter~

Wugengniao: Mom! ?

Mapo Priest: Luck is not as good as Takasaka Honoka, fighting is not as good as Toyokawa Shoko, and wisdom is not as good as Nagasaki Suyo. Now even the normal state is suppressed by Minami Xiaoniao. He can't raise his head in front of women (sure)! This Qiwen Jiedou is just lame!

Magdalene Saint: So you are very brave?

Fruit King: This abominable arrogant banana, isn't the discrimination a bit too serious? If it were me, I probably wouldn't even be able to pull my hand out.

Guichu Kazuma: I'm so envious, why can he be close to beautiful girls, but I can only sleep with uncles?

Emperor: I think that only the fact that Qiwen Jiedou slept on the sofa was definitely intentional by Miss Junchuan. No matter how you think about it, it is more reasonable to let the larger Huanglian sleep on the sofa!

Green Devil: It's an illusion, it's an illusion~

Galaxy-Eyes Ariel Speed: This strongest protozoan costume doesn't even need to be pretended!

Emperor Dance: There is no way, I would do the same.jpg

Chairman Treson: Now that Gaim is in a dilemma, Tsuna, use your invincible time-rise to think of a solution!

[After a careful inspection, Minami Kotori was relieved after finding that the other party's hand really had no injuries, and then she began to pay attention to the surrounding environment.

"Where is this?"

The place where Qiwen Jiedou is standing now is a large open space. There is nothing bare within a range of nearly 100 meters around it. It seems a bit abrupt in the high-rise city of Zeya. Seeing this man standing here, Minami Kotori feels lonely and desolate.

But at the same time, she also feels that the surroundings look familiar. After trying to recall for a while, she seems to have thought of something.

"Ah! I have some impression of this place. Was it a shrine in the woods before?"

"Huh?"

Minami Kotori's small exclamation attracted the attention of Kaito Kumon. He looked at Minami Kotori strangely, as if he was very surprised that the other party knew this.

"Yes, this was indeed a shrine dedicated to the sacred tree, but it was razed by the World Tree Consortium nearly 10 years ago. How did you know about this?"

Minami Kotori was also very curious about this, and she tried hard to recall it.

In the depths of her mind, the picture of three young girls playing and fighting under the huge tree flashed by, and with this feeling, she recalled some things in the past.

"In the past, I seemed to have played here with Hono Jam and Umi-chan. It seemed that my mother's friend invited her to come for a vacation or something..."

-No, wait, are there really only three people?

In the vague memories, Minami Kotori always felt that there seemed to be more than three people. They seemed to have played with several local children, but the time was too long, and the faces and number of those children could no longer be remembered.

Compared to Minami Kotori's confusion, Kaito Kimon seemed to have thought of something. His eyes looking at Minami Kotori became very strange, and a picture very similar to Minami Kotori's memory appeared in his mind.

The only difference was that Honoka Kosaka was giggling on the tree, and Umi Sonoda was looking at her worriedly from below. Not far from Minami Kotori, there were two young figures, one black and one red. 】

Zunsi: What! ? The setting of plum blossoms falling from the sky? Too strong, isn't the Banana Bird CP sure to win now?

Minami Otori: Ah la la ~

Thibbling Warrior: It's still early! Don't forget, the three veterans of the Gaim Team are theoretically plum blossoms falling from the sky!

Ishigami Accountant: Then may I ask, does Umi Sonoda have a chance to run on the track?

Hai Ye: 6.

[Of course, this strange look came and went quickly, and was not noticed by Minami Kotori who was in deep thought.

Although he was a little surprised by the fate between himself and the Gaim Team, after all, they didn't even know each other's names. At best, they just met once when they played together. Since the other party had forgotten, Kaito Kiwa had no intention of pointing it out.

"Hmph. That's the principle."

Pulling his hand out of Minami Kotori's grip, Kaito Kiwa moved his eyes away from Minami Kotori's face, pretending nothing happened and continued to put his hands in his pockets, looking around the deserted open space.

"This shrine is a place I often visited when I was a child. It is the place that impressed me the most, except for the old man's factory that has been converted into a commercial street, so I come here occasionally."

"Hey~ So for Kaito, this is a precious place full of memories?"

Hearing him say this, Minami Kotori's attention was immediately pulled back from memories to reality. She looked at him with some surprise, curious about how he would say such sad lines.

However, the next sentence of Kaito Kimon proved that she had thought of it. Reminiscing about the past was not a word that would appear in his dictionary at all.

"Hmph, on the contrary, this is just the wreckage of memory. Looking at this ruin with nothing, all you can get is anger and hatred."

Looking up again, Kaito Kimon no longer concealed his feelings. His eyes looking at the World Tree Tower were burning with monstrous hatred.

"The reason why I come here occasionally is just to remember this feeling more deeply and turn it into nourishment for me to become stronger."

"But if that's the case..."

After hearing this, Minami Kotori's eyes became sad involuntarily, and the feeling of tightness in her chest when she learned that Honoka Kosaka and Motoyo Nagasaki had gone on an adventure without telling her reappeared.

She covered her chest and looked at the profile of Kaito.

"Wouldn't you feel lonely if you were like that?"

Looking back and meeting Minami Kotori's beautiful eyes, Kaito wanted to say "None of your business" like he did to other people, but the straightforward and sincere concern made him stop talking.

When he came to his senses, the words he said became something else.

"Is it that naive idea of ​​working hard with everyone again? I told you, if you want to refute me, win to the end and show me."

Feeling that if he stayed any longer, the anger in his heart might even subside, Kaito waved his hand, turned around and took a step.

"Humph, now our Kaimu team is the first!"

"..."

Looking at Kaito who stumbled because of her retort, Minami Kotori forced a smile on her face and shouted at his back.

"I think memories are not wreckage, but treasure chests, Jiedou! Even if the form changes, some things will not change. I will prove it to you! With our dance and victory!"

Watching the departure of Kaidou, Minami Kotori's originally depressed mood improved a little for some reason, and she also had the idea of ​​going back to talk with Honoka Kosaka and the others.

——Yes, if everyone is together, it will definitely be possible!

"Is it really so?"

"!?"

The familiar yet unfamiliar voice made Minami Kotori's back cold. She immediately turned around and looked behind her, only to see a blonde girl with the same face as herself standing there, looking at her sadly.

What shocked her even more was that this holy girl with blonde hair and white clothes seemed to have just responded to her inner thoughts.

"Who are you?"

"You now have many destinies to choose from."

As always, there was no way to form a dialogue. The blonde girl, like the previous times, just confided her words unilaterally without paying attention to others.

"Leave this city, cut off ties with Honoka Kosaka and Kaito Kimon, and start a completely different life from now. If you do this, you can get a different future now."

"Um, sorry. I don't understand what you are saying at all..."

Minami Kotori was at a loss. The words of this girl who looked exactly like her were too riddles, making her feel scared.

Seeing her like this, the blonde girl's expression seemed to be confused for a moment, but in a blink of an eye, Minami Kotori only felt a flash in front of her eyes, and the girl's face returned to the compassion at the beginning.

"Make a choice as soon as possible, before everything is too late."

"Who understands what you say!"
