Chapter 98

"But, I don't have many friends myself, and I am currently recruiting friends..."

"By the way, we can go talk to other children together. With two of us, I should be able to have some confidence..."

Shiori looked at Yoshino who was talking to his rabbit doll and felt that the other person was really a weirdo.

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome. I'm fine just like this..."

"This is not okay!"

Yoshino, who had always spoken softly, suddenly raised her voice.

"Mom has said that lying is wrong. You obviously feel very unwilling and sad. Why do you lie?"

"...It's useless even if I try to talk to him, I'm used to it."

"If you don't take the first step, you'll never make friends! Let me show you how!"

Yoshino suddenly stood up and ran towards the children on her short legs. Then Yoshino, who was hemming and hawing nervously, suffered a big failure and returned to Shiori with a red face.

"Look, I told you, it's useless."

"Well...tomorrow! I will definitely be able to do it tomorrow, Yoshina! Let's go to special training!"

Yoshino ran away again with short legs. Shizhi didn't take it seriously. He just regarded it as a child's three-minute heat and felt that it would pass soon.

Then, the first day, the second day, the third day...

Yoshino would come to the orphanage where Shiori was staying every day, and even if she was a little timid, she would have the courage to talk to other children and try to become friends.

Children are very innocent. After Yoshino became familiar with them, they naturally became friends.

Seeing Yoshino proudly running up to him to ask for credit, Shiori felt a little touched in his heart.

It is not difficult to simply make friends with other children. As I said before, everyone in the orphanage is a good child. If Shizhi really wants to make friends, it will not be difficult. She is I closed myself off.

The lost memory was like a thick wall in her heart, preventing her from letting go of her heart and interacting with others.

What touched him was that the child in front of him named Yoshino knew that he was not good at communicating with others, but he was able to overcome what he was not good at for himself, a stranger.

Looking at the unpretentious smile on Yoshino's face, Shiori, who was like a robot, showed a heartfelt smile for the first time.

Even if it was to respond to the child's kindness, he should not continue to give up on himself.

Two children changed each other because of a small thing. The story of Shiori and Yoshino does not have any ups and downs. It is just that one child changed the other child with his actions.

Listening to Shiori's narration, Tohka was silent for a long time, while the former kept talking about some interesting things about himself and Yoshino.

"Speaking of which, do you know why I ended up becoming the novelist I should have forgotten about even though I clearly lost my memory? In fact, this is also Yoshino's credit!"

"Shiori-chan, if you like reading novels so much, how about becoming a novelist? It just so happens that I want to be an editor in the future. If we work together, we will definitely take the literary world by storm! What? We are obviously both blue. ? Hehe, yes."

Following Yoshino's cheerful tone, Shiori vividly described Yoshino's excitement at that time.

It was at this moment that Tohka spoke.

"Shizhi, have a fight with me."

"..."

Tohka continued without waiting for Shiori's answer.

"I'm too weak now. Whether it was the time at the Nanzu District base or this time now, I have been receiving help from Shizhi, but this is not enough. If I continue to fail, I will return to the North District. Doesn't the base become a hindrance to Shizhi?

I have lost a lot of things since I was a child. I have never met my parents. My master who treated me like a daughter passed away 15 years ago. Now even the organization that I consider my family is on the wrong track.

Because I know the pain of loss, I can't sit back and watch Shiori and everyone lose something important. Now you are everything to me.

I also want to help Shiori and help you rescue Yoshino. Your friendship should not disappear because of Megiddo.

So please, please fight me, lend me your strength, I want to figure something out. "

"Well, leave it to me, Tohka."

Looking into Tohka's eyes, Shizhi seemed to see the original pure water swordsman. The flame sword Agni in his hand was radiating light, but this time, the flame sword Agni was no longer shining alone. , the water sword in Tohka's hand seemed to be trembling slightly. 】

159: rescue

["Ouch! Ouch!"

On the rooftop, the swords of fire and water responded to the master's will, dancing in the air with beautiful red and blue trajectories.

Gold and iron intersect, Tohka feels the power coming from the water flowing through the water sword. Every sword Shiori makes is extremely heavy, and with every blow, she can feel the hot emotions coming from the opponent's heart.

Scenes after scenes entered Tohka's mind through the resonance between the holy swords, which was what Shiori had been carrying all along.

The regret of not being able to keep the promise and save Mio;

I can only watch the origami disappear unwillingly;

Witnessed the death of my adopted sister Kotori;

Keep trying to become companions with everyone in the Sword of Truth;

And his best friend Yoshino who is now in crisis...

Yes, it's painful. You are never the only one who keeps losing. Shiori, Origami, Yoshino, and everyone else, all of them are holding all kinds of pain and troubles, but they still choose Keep moving forward towards the future.

So how could he be the only one standing still?

As if feeling the master's awakening, the water sword's flowing water emitted a blue light, echoing the fierce fire of the fire sword in Shizhi's hand.

Seeing this scene, Shizhi smiled happily.

"Did you find what you were looking for?"

"Not even close."

Tohka shook her head, but still smiled.

"But I will no longer be confused. I swear by the water sword in my hand, let us rescue Yoshino together!"]

Soybean Bread yyds: Finally! Am I going to show off my power? New form, I want a new form!

Nayako: I won’t be sleepy if you tell me about the new form!

Starburst Abandoned Healing Slash: I can’t wait, bring it up quickly!

Dress Up Doll: Great, I’m sure to win this time!

[While Shizhi and Tohka were competing in sword skills, Bister was sitting blankly in a basketball court, looking at his hands as if thinking about something.

"Why didn't you give the Holy Blade and the Blade the final blow then, my friend?"

Black energy gathered around Bister, and Stellius appeared there to ask about Bister's abnormal behavior with great interest.

"not enough."

"What?"

"It's not enough at all. Such a weak Water Swordsman cannot satisfy me at all. I want to see a stronger Water Swordsman, so strong..."

Bister was in a daze, and his tone no longer had the bellicosity and mania of the past. Instead, Stellius could hear a hint of expectation.

"Well, then I hope your wish can come true, my friend."

Inexplicable emotions flashed across Stellius's eyes, and he seemed not to be surprised at Bister's abnormal behavior. He bowed slightly towards Bister, and finally disappeared here.

"Your purpose will not succeed!"

"Um?"

A weak but firm female voice interrupted Bister's daze, and she turned back to look at Yoshino sitting on the ground.

For some reason that even Bister was not clear about, she stopped the alternative driving book from corroding Yoshino, and just put her aside to wait for the agreed time to arrive.

"Oh, you can still provoke me after this. Aren't you afraid of death?"

"No problem, Shiori and Tohka will come to save me."

The petite woman glared at Bister, who could sense a stubbornness and strength that refused to admit defeat from this weak human being. The two stared at each other for several seconds, and in the end Bister actually looked away first.

"Humph, just pray that what you say is true."]

Herrscher: Why do I feel that Bist’s goal is not simply to defeat Miss Tohka?

Iron Fist Invincible: Indeed, I can feel that Bister seems to be longing for something deeper.

Vehicle Killer: Keep reading. We still know too little about the past of the three cadres of Megiddo.

[The time soon came to the next day. Looking at the two people walking side by side from a distance, Bist stood up from the ground, revealing his blue and white orc form. The alternative control in Yoshino's body had stopped functioning. The book also activates again, turning Yoshino into the rabbit Megiddo.

"How's it going? Water Swordsman, are you ready this time?"

"Bist! I swear by the power of the water, sword and flowing water, we will protect Shishi!"

"Ah, the ending of the story is up to us!"

"Transform!" x 2

The two dragons roared, the machine beast roared, and the two swordsmen rushed out of the energy of fire and water and charged towards Bist.

"Everyone can tell lies!"

Not to be outdone, Bister blocked the holy swords swung by the two men with one hand and one sword. The roar of the beast came from his mouth, and the arms holding the sword suddenly exerted force, actually putting the two swordsmen at a disadvantage.

"Too weak, too weak, too weak! No one can save you at this level!"

"It's not your decision!"

The turret on Tohka's shoulder suddenly fired, hitting Bist right in the face. Although the damage caused was very limited, it successfully sealed the opponent's vision and hearing.

Shizhi seized the opportunity and turned into flames and came behind Bister. He turned around and left a wound on her back with a sword.

"Just some tricks! Damn humans!"

The pain aroused Bister's ferocity, and he used the common range move of the Flowing Sword School, trying to hit Shiori behind him without being seen, but Tohka had expected it.

"It's not just your privilege to be able to use the same moves!"

The same move was used by Tohka, which not only neutralized the opponent's attack, but also gave Shiori another chance to attack.

"The must-kill reading is overflowing! The elements are combined to kill!"

The rainbow-colored sword slashed out at zero distance, and Bister's body flew out completely. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two Kamen Riders rushed towards the direction of Rabbit Megiddo without stopping.

Although Rabbit Megiddo had some tricks, he was still no match for the two swordsmen in the end. In addition, Yoshino in his body was causing chaos and was defeated when separated.

The holy swords of fire and water emitted corresponding lights, and the two holy swords swung an X-shaped slash together, directly separating Yoshino. Before landing, Shiori caught it, and Tohka caught one. His special move cuts Megiddo the Rabbit in half.

The explosion occurred, and many humans imprisoned in the ice crystal pendants turned into light points and flew away from the body of Rabbit Megiddo, returning to the place where they were attacked.

In the blast, some things on Yoshino's body also fell out, including the key that Sophia had entrusted to her.

"Oh, what a surprise."

Black energy appeared, Stellius picked up the key on the ground, and then looked at Bister who got up from the ground.

Shizhi's attack left a striking X-shaped wound on her chest. Bister looked at the wound, and the irritation in her heart began to rise again. Black-red flames rose, dyeing her originally blue-white body. Turning red and black, she stared at Tohka, and the voice in her mouth was no different from that of a wild beast.

"No, no, no! How can you defeat me with the Fire Swordsman, when you are such a weak idiot!!!"

Seeing that the war was about to break out, Stellius suddenly took action and released green energy to take Bist away from here.

"Leave the victory or defeat until next time, my friend."]

160: Trends from all parties

Pure Love God of War: Has Bister also entered that state? In other words, Stellius asked Charybdis to do the same thing to Bister as Woodman did that time.

Devil Bomber: What is the purpose of this Stellius? Is there any benefit in trapping your companions one by one? Megiddo is not a mercenary, and his head cannot be exchanged for money, right?

L: Although he couldn't exchange it for money, he got something more important.

Death Schoolboy: Woodman and Bist's magic modification control book, this must be the purpose of Stellius.

Kira: Yes, as mentioned in the previous video, the alternative driving book and the fantasy driving book have the same function in the ritual of summoning the omniscient and omnipotent book. That’s why Stellius wants a high-quality alternative driving book. .

Unable to study together: Speaking of which, what was the key that Stellius picked up?

Herrscher of Rice: It should be the key to the book that created Sophia that Allen is looking for. After all, it is what Sophia gave to Yoshino.

Grass Badminton: Well, it’s very possible.

[Shiori's side ended the battle, and Origami Kan, who had been hiding aside and watching the whole process, showed a confused expression.
