The Second Generation of Knights Encountering Demons Reappears

Qiange’s chaotic brain screamed, and she suddenly heard her childhood sweetheart’s cry in a daze.

“Run, Qiange!!!”

——Run?

Her scattered pupils began to focus again, and what came into view was the hideous beast face of the Pixiu alien, and the claws that were constantly enlarging in her field of vision.

——Ah, I will die.

A simple thought appeared in Qiange’s mind, and when she realized this, her body was too late to make new movements.

The girl could only watch the murderous weapon approaching her head, waiting for its fleeting end like fireworks.

However, there was a person who took the first step when no one else took action.

Long Xuan in the form of a kiwi fruit flew over, hugged Qiange who was frozen in place at the fastest speed, and blocked the fatal blow with his back.

The brown and green Kamen Rider flew out, holding Chika who had not yet reacted, Nagasaki Motoyo rolled on the ground for dozens of meters, using all his strength to remove the terrifying impact force, and then ensured Chika's safety.

Shapru and Peperoncino looked at each other and recovered from their previous shock.

At the moment, they had no reason to fight each other. After nodding to each other, they rushed up together and stopped the Pixiu alien who was about to continue chasing for Nagasaki Motoyo and Chika.

"Are you okay?"

Although her body seemed to be falling apart, and her back was even more painful after being caught, Nagasaki Motoyo still looked at the girl she had saved the first time, and nervously asked her about her situation.

However, Chika grabbed the collar of Nagasaki Motoyo's armor at this time, and looked at Long Xuan's green compound eyes with a desperate expression.

"Did you know this a long time ago?"

The voice was mournful and broken, and Nagasaki Suyo could not help but freeze in place.

What was reflected in her eyes was an expression that Honoka Kosaka had never shown before her. It also made her realize for the first time, with a strong sense of déjà vu, that the girl in front of her and Honoka Kosaka who had always guided her were not the same person after all.

She was not the perfect saint who would never be defeated even if she had concealed many things from her.

She was herself, not a projection of anyone, but a weak and independent individual like herself.

And no one had the right to decide the future for others.

--You are really a fool who is even more stupid than me, Suyo.

Nagasaki Suyo, who thought she had been atonement, clenched her fist silently, and recalled the evaluation that Honoka Kosaka made for her with her own blood that day.

——Yes, I once again made the same mistake in the name of doing good for others. Concealment cannot bring the real thing. I suffered so many times before I figured out such a simple truth. I am indeed a big fool who is dumber than Honoka Kosaka...

All the thinking happened in a flash, and Nagasaki Motoyo's mind returned to looking at Chika.

The two girls looked at each other, and finally, Nagasaki Motoyo, who made a living by concealing, showed the truth to Chika for the first time.

"Yes, although it was just a guess, I did guess that the alien was transformed from a human."】

"Are you finally starting to take off your disguise?"

Seeing that the self in the video finally got rid of the kind of hesitation and always stayed in the day of the battle with Honoka Kosaka, the real Nagasaki Motoyo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Honoka Kosaka's "death" did wake up another self for a time, but the guilt and inferiority in her heart soon dragged the girl into another logical vicious circle called "atonement".

She thought she had completely sobered up, but in fact she was still applying the past action mode to the present, trying to solve all the problems by herself, but she changed the reason of "for the good of everyone" to "atonement".

But another bad result made Nagasaki Suyo completely recognize her current self. Atonement is not the goal, but a process. As a survivor of the Helheim crisis, she is no longer the immature child in the past. She must overcome the mistakes of the past and gain new growth.

"Is this the reason why Honoka didn't come to find me before she left? Some things can only be moved forward after you figure it out yourself."

Nagasaki Suyo seemed to have some feelings, and her admiration and longing for Kousaka Honoka in her heart was once again enhanced.

["Then..."

It is still unknown what kind of ideological transformation Nagasaki Suyo has experienced. Chika was hit by this heavy reality. She opened her mouth and asked the last hope in her heart in a dry voice.

"Then do people who transform into aliens have a chance to transform back?"

"Unfortunately, as far as I know, such a thing does not exist."

Nagasaki Suyo stood up, picked up the driver that fell on the ground for her, and looked calmly at Qiange who was kneeling on the ground.

"This is also the reason why I stopped you from killing the alien before. What do you think? After knowing all this, will you continue to fight?"

"Fight?"

Looking at the driver handed to her, Qiange repeated the other party's question in a low voice, and then slapped the driver inherited from Gannan with tears in her eyes.

"At this point, what reason do we have to fight? Everything is a lie. This thing is not a treasure that can help us survive at all. It is just an accelerator that drags us towards despair! Our fight has never had anything from the beginning. meaning!”

"Qiange..."

Yao, who came over, naturally heard the exchange between the two. Looking at her childhood sweetheart who had now lost his fighting spirit, she silently shed two lines of tears.

In the end, they thought they had mastered superhuman power and were resisting the rule of the nobles and fighting for their own destiny. However, they never escaped from the hands of those nobles.

Looking at the two people sobbing silently, Nagasaki Soyo spoke after a brief silence.

"No, your fight has meaning."

Once upon a time, she was also crushed by a seemingly irresistible fate. She gave up on herself for a long time and caused a lot of trouble to Honoka Takasaka.

but……

"Someone once told me that not giving up is actually the meaning in itself. Maybe we will be deceived in the process and suffer a lot, but as long as we keep trying, we can figure out the reasons why the enemy deceives us. Know the source of those sufferings and identify the real enemy.”

At that time, Nagasaki Motoyo felt that Honoka Takasaka was really stupid for saying these words, but that idiot saved everyone in such a stupid way.

The pretty face under the mask showed a knowing smile. Nagasaki Motoyo retracted her outstretched hand without being hit by the drive, just like Takasaka Honoka in the past.

"I assure you that you are fighting so that there will be no more victims like you in the future, and your fight is definitely not meaningless."

"..."

Chika stared blankly at Nagasaki Motoyo, her passion that had fallen silent started to be rekindled under these words.

"Is this...could it be what that Kousaka Honoka said?"

"Um?"

This time, Nagasaki Moyo was stunned. She didn't remember that she had mentioned the name of Honoka Takasaka on this island.

However, she remembered that when she was defeated by Qiange, the other party looked at her face as if she wanted to say something.

"Could it be that? Do you know about the Armored Forces?"

As soon as these words came out, Yao, who was still wiping tears at the side, couldn't help but be startled, and then looked at Nagasaki Soyo as if he suddenly remembered something.

"That's right, I just remembered when I said that, are you the bass player in the Armored Team? I, we at OrangeRide are all your fans..."

Although the Kingdom of Togia is backward, it is not completely ignorant of the outside world. As a country that has a close relationship with the World Tree Foundation, under the instruction of Ernest, the civilians here can really receive the rhythm of Zeya City. TV signal for the Cavaliers Tournament.

In fact, the gang name OrangeRide was more or less influenced by the armor's representative lock, Orange Lock.

It's a pity that after the Rhythm Knight Competition stopped being broadcast to other countries due to the progress of the Ark Project, Qiange and Yao were naturally cut off from obtaining information in this area, and over time, these things were forgotten.

For Nagasaki Moyo who suddenly heard this information, her first reaction was——

--fan? I'm a fan and you caught me and beat me to death in the first place! Why? Just because I play bass? 】

Sister Haizi: It turns out he plays bass, so it’s normal for him not to be recognized.

Bassist with no sense of existence: If it’s not strange, then it’s not strange.

Long term vegetarian: U1S1, indeed.

Archangel Shimokitazawa: Please don’t make bass jokes all the time for you bass players. Chika and the others can’t recognize her because they are obviously too distracted by the fierce gang war here, right?

Archangel Shimokitazawa: And didn’t Chika recognize him later? I just didn’t have the chance to say it.

Literary Sleeping Beauty: Yes, let me ask why Chika took the initiative to seek help from Nagasaki Moyo? It turns out there are idol filters for this.

Passerby heroine: Then why doesn’t anyone recognize that Xia Pulu Aojiao looks a lot like him? He even used the same armor as Ao Jiao.

Fruit Emperor: Uh, are the personalities too different?

The great teacher’s dead fish eyes: As for the denial, even if these two guys are put together, I can recognize them as two different people.

Djinn: But, watching Soyo enlighten Miss Chika using what Miss Honoka said, I can't help but feel a little emotional.

Accountant Ishigami: Yes, I never thought that Nagasaki Moyo would grow up to be what he is today.

Invincible Iron Fist: It can only be said that most of the characters in "Armor" are children who need to grow up after all. Be it Honoka Takasaka or Motoyo Nagasaki, they are completely different from the beginning.

Fruit King: Proud.jpg

Stalkless Bird: What’s going on with your eyes that my child has grown up?

[After accidentally discovering that Orange Ride is a fan of Kaiwu, Nagasaki Soyo finally nodded with a wry smile.

"Yes, these are what Honoka taught me. That person was once troubled by pain like you, but in the end he resolutely chose to keep fighting for all the people who are still alive. I think you have too With that kind of potential... no."

Halfway through, Nagasaki Soyo shook his head again, denying his last statement.

"Every one of us can become as shining as Honoka. Until now, I am completely convinced of this."

Nagasaki Soyo said so firmly.

At a certain moment, the surrounding environment suddenly dimmed, and the phantom that had been following her replaced Qian Ge and appeared in front of her.

"I finally took a step forward, Su Shi."

Xiaoxiang, the demon in his heart, looked gently at this friend who had been with him for three months without knowing it, and his body gradually began to dissipate.

Nagasaki Motoyo clearly felt that the other party's dissipation this time was different from any previous time.

"you……"

"It's okay, it's just that you have finally forgiven yourself, so you no longer need to be bound to my prison."

"Toyokawa Shoko" smiled slightly, then stretched out his hand and waved towards the somewhat reluctant Nagasaki Moyo.

"Go and transform, Suse. Go and become a better version of yourself than before. If you are a smart Suse..."

As the body disintegrated, the voice and image belonging to Toyokawa Shoko gradually changed, and a touch of orange was reflected in Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes.

"You can definitely do better than me!"

"ear!"

Nagasaki Momoyo stretched out his hands, desperately trying to retain the other party, but the surrounding environment returned to brightness as the figure disappeared.

Nagasaki Motoyo's outstretched hand and the re-energized Chika held each other's hands. The similar but different orange-haired girl looked at each other and said seriously.

"I want to fight! For everyone who is still alive, I want to shine like you said!"

Nagasaki Soyo looked at the other party blankly. Under the mask, a tear representing farewell fell from her eyes, but in contrast, she raised a charming arc at the corner of her mouth.

"Ah, it must be possible. So do you, so do I..."

…

On the dim planet, behind a group of foreigners sitting around the fire to keep warm, a silver-haired girl in a white robe also raised the corners of her mouth and opened her eyes, one red and one blue. .

"Is there any problem with Su Shi?"

"Well, no problem."

In response to the question from the blond girl next to her, Honoka Kosaka nodded happily, and then turned her attention to another blue-haired nun hundreds of millions of light years away.

"Next, it's Xiangzi."]

886: Locust (4k)

[Kami-sama’s expectant gaze spanned endless time and space, projecting from Nagasaki Motoyo to another concerned person who couldn’t let go.

Crisp footsteps echoed in the deserted alley, and the blue-haired nun slowly followed behind the prototype Long Xuan. At this time, she had left the church and walked a short distance to an abandoned facility.

"That's almost it, Miss Xiangzi."

Seeing that the time was right, Heiryugen, who used his transformer to imitate Nagasaki Moyo's voice, stopped and looked back at Wang Wang, who had been silent along the way.

"Xiangzi? Is this my real name?"

Some familiar names were like a heavy hammer. The door of memory began to tremble again during the bombardment. From the cracks in the door, scattered fragments floated out, making Forgetting seem to hear something in a trance. Countless people are calling her voice by this name.

Forgetting to cover his frown, while trying to adapt to the discomfort caused by the impact, he was also trying his best to pry into the truth hidden behind the door of memory.

This somewhat painful look was seen in the eyes of the prototype Long Xuan. In order to try her best to play the identity of Nagasaki Soyo, she naturally took a step forward and wanted to support Wang Wang who was a little unsteady.

However, what she didn't expect was that even though her mind was still trying to dig out the past images, Forgetting still didn't relax its focus on reality.
