◇ [Kashima Dove] ◇

A leopard woman named Eve.

After breaking up with her, Kashima Dove was walking in the dim woods.

The sun is falling......

Forest of darkness.

A landscape with only finesse.

but the anxiety was sparse.

Kaohsiung sisters walking before and after little doves.

This strength of heart, I guess, is due to them.

The little pigeon

"Um."

Yes, in advance, I thanked you.

"Thanks again - thank you, Kaohsiung"

"Wow, that's awesome. It's not true - Kashima. You can call me by name, okay? Atashi and both of them are Kaohsiung. And that salutation is a habit? It's the same grade, and you don't want it?

The tree speaks to me in a light tone.

He cares about me.

I can tell by the feel of my voice.

"... the trees, they're amazing. Even here, when I was in the world before, my behavior didn't change at all."

"Humans are different creatures, not different worlds."

Said the saint walking behind.

"It may trigger you, but in the end, no matter which world you're in, you're gonna change people, and you're not gonna change people."

"Hih, Saint is amazing too..."

The little pigeon dropped his shoulder.

I can only say ”wow”.

I don't like my lack of vocabulary.

(Even if I read all those novels, when it's a raw conversation, the words don't come out at all...)

I try to form a skillful conversation in my brain.

but it falls apart right away.

I still don't like raw communication.

I'm not trying to change myself.

But maybe the deep-rooted part can't be changed.

Kashima, by the way.

"Oh, yeah."

"Atashi, I just wanted to ask you something"

What that Takayuki wants to ask himself......

What is it?

"What is it?

"Why are you in a shallow group?

"Huh?"

"I don't care what you think, Kajima, you come to Iincho."

"That's..."

The little dove remembered when he was in the royal castle of the Allion.

First trial.

The condition of achievement is to kill demons.

But I couldn't kill the little pigeon.

I couldn't.

That was the time.

The shallots,

"For the vivid poppo, the relying shallots will help you"

Yes, I whispered.

Speaking of results - I could accomplish it without killing.

In front, there lay the demon's body.

"Don't pop it! It looked like a lucky hit after I freaked out and tempered, but it turned out to be a trial breakthrough ~! One thing settled in this."

That proclamation of the shallots was blatantly loud.

I guess I turned it up deliberately so I could hear it around.

Shallots are approaching.

From the diagonal back, I put my elbow on my shoulder.

"Uhm! I'll explain it to Popo, who's too much mune, but not enough head."

Gentle, narrative.

"Humanity has survived hand in hand. But if we don't put our hands together and work together, we're gonna start crushing each other next. One. So we have to work together."

My feet were trembling in small pieces.

It was as if the snake was entangling my body.

At this time, I thought the battlefield shallots were ”scary”.

I can't reply.

The words, they don't answer.

"Little Dove Sun"

From behind, a shallow hand extends to the left chest.

"Hih (...) t (...) of (...) O (...) story (...), hear (...) y (...) and (...) ma (...) s (...) ka (...)?

Scary.

Shallots on the battlefield, scared.

said the pigeon.

"I'm in Mr. Asahi's group..."

A tree puts its arms behind its head and says floating.

"Personally, I feel like shallots suck..."

My body is soaking wet at some point.

It is not rainy moisture.

I don't like this feeling......

A sweat I know well.

Said the pigeon.

"Yeah, I know"

A tree that tilts its neck with an innocent look.

"Hmm? You think Kajima sucks, too?... are you even gripped by shallow shallots?

Shake the pigeon for the first time.

"Yeah, no."

"Poppo, come on. - You really want to go Ayaka Toko, don't you?

'Yeah... at first, I was'

"Ho?

"Now, look... Mr. Asahi owes me in trials..."

"Uh-oh! Good luck! Shallots, touching '

From the shallot group, don't run away.

That's what

'Cause that might save Mr. Shigawa one day.'

A tree that squeezes your eyes.

"To?"

Try to make a smile.

But I couldn't.

"Asahi thinks he's stupid about me... and maybe he doesn't really have someone else to tell him the truth..."

Shallots are close to most girls.

I have many friends.

But there is no shadow of my best friend.

Yeah, all the time.

Ever.

"Mr. Shallots is smart, so I think he's choosing someone who leaks the truth. So Shallots must know that I'm scared of Shallots... so that... I must think I can never turn against Shallots..."

(In fact, when you're talking to me, it's often different from other kids...)

Not superficial, but intrinsic?

Little pigeons like to read.

Because of that, I know the finesse of that...... I feel it.

Somehow, though.

"Keeping the truth hidden is more stressful than you think."

Saint pinched his mouth.

"Humans are not strong enough to live their lives all the time with false masks alone. Besides, usually the more mindless a person is, the more self-evident greed brings a sickle somewhere. Confirm your superiority - you want to claim it."

Wrinkles leaned between the tree's eyebrows.

My eyes are battered.

"Mm-hmm? Sister... I mean, what are you talking about?

"Smart people want to brag about how smart they are."

"Uh, I see. Is that it? My sister is smart too... but what?

"I guess I can't say enough about nothing more than talking like this."

"Even your sister?"

"Well, you're human."

Saint smiles thinly.

"Well... if the head (...) is (...) cut (...) and (...) gi (...) ru (...) human, though I may no longer be thinking of something in a different dimension than self-manifesting greed"

"Mm-hmm. Are you proud of me... oh, you know... are you a proud and meaningful person...?

"I'm sure she's a proud sister."

"Hehe."

(Saint's reply now...... probably not the answer to Tree's question, Tree......)

But it was a little dove that could not be put into words.

A well-cared tree now waves a question to the pigeon.

"But Kashima? Why would Shallots tell you the truth for Yincho?

"I'll tell you."

"Hmm? Talk...? What?"

"Shallots definitely told his important plan somewhere, (...) and (...) to talk (...)"

At least a hint, you should say it.

"If Asahi tries to set up something that puts Shigawa's body in danger... I'm closest to her..."

Put your hands on your chest.

Keep your heart calm.

"I should be able to tell Mr. Shigawa that as soon as possible."

Tree legs stop.

"Kashima, you..."

"It's gonna be okay."

Thank you.

Into the thirsty throat, spit in.

"I can't believe" Bibili and stupid popo ”is thinking this... because Asahi shouldn't even think about it"

Even if I can think of one, I don't have the guts to do it.

If you're shallow on the battlefield, you'd think so.

Correct.

I don't actually have that kind of guts in my pigeon.

Yes, sir.

Now (...) is (...).

(.................. so we have to be strong)

and

You were right to come looking for Kashima.

That's what Saint said.

The little pigeon remembers there, the question he has always had.

"Speaking of which... how did the Saints come to help me?

"Mr. Shigawa needs a living Kashima now, I wonder."

"Wow, me?

"Boring stuff"

"Huh?"

Holy touches the pattern of a sword delivered to the sheath.

"The goddess was sending a separate team into this expedition this time, in confidence with us. No one broke their mouth, so there is no place for speculation... but the aim is probably to assassinate the women in Mr. Shigawa's group"

"... What!?

"I guess you were going to let Mr. Shigawa's precious companion die and give him a load of heart"

The pigeon was shocked.

"Hey, why is it such a terrible thing... I summoned the goddess... everyone to go back to the original world... for the goddess, I'm trying so hard to defeat the Great Demon Emperor... ugh!

"The goddess wants Mr. Shigawa as an obedient pawn. I mean, it's proof left that S-class braves are worth so much... but in order to do that, you have to destroy your mind first - to brainwash and rebuild"

The Holy Eye captures the little pigeon.

"And Kashima's death also has probably had a huge negative impact on Shigawa. If you look, you'll see."

(Oh yeah... I'm a little happy when Saint tells me that too...)

"It's boring."

In the darkness, the Saint knitting the Word.

"If Mr. Shigawa's heart breaks now, it's easy to imagine how it will unfold afterwards"

He looks wet in rainwater.

A fabric that is moisturized and perfectly sticks to the skin.

Because of this, the line of the Holy Limb was emphasized.

Skinny but not weak.

Rin stands tall in the dark.

The little pigeon remembered the unspeakable awesomeness.

"Mr. Kajima said earlier that everyone is hanging in there to get back to their original world, right?

"Huh? Ugh, yeah......"

A few wet hairs stuck to the mouth.

Saint stroked it with his thin fingertips and gracefully untied it.

"The Great Demon Emperor defeated, a condition of return. If you fulfill it..."

Kaohsiung Saint.

In Linglou,

With pity,

Cold.

(... Saint,)

"I can't imagine that goddess would honestly return us to our original world."

"Oh Popo, you're back! I was worried ~"

2-C faces welcomed the returning pigeons.

The most hugging thing I've ever held is the shallows on the battlefield.

"Hmm? Why were you with Kaohsiung's?

"I happened to see him on the way, and he asked me to help him..."

Shallots doing gaze to the Kaohsiung sisters.

"Hum, Kaohsiung Z looks pretty humane too... heh..."

And I saw a woman rushing over for a small run.

"Kashima-san......"

"Ah... Ten Rivers, eh?"

It was Ayaka Shigawa who came running over.

Ayanka hands on both shoulders of the pigeon.

"Are you all right? Are you hurt?

It conveys my sincere concern.

The little pigeon didn't think of it and let his cheeks loosen with joy.

"Yeah, thanks to Kaohsiung and the others..."

I didn't dare call you ”Saint" or ”Mr. Tree”.

Because now I felt better not to be thought of as intimate.

Especially against shallots.

Ayaka sent a grateful gaze to the Kaohsiung sisters.

"Yes, Kaohsiung and the others..."

Shortly after his return, the Kaohsiung sisters only made a mild report to Nyantan.

There is no way to get involved with other students.

And it seemed...

"The consciousness that made you disappear on your own and waste this precious time of mine is knowledge…"

How dare that Kirihara Takudo talk to the twins?

Even though I've been in my class and have always treated it as something that doesn't exist.

"Heh... what's wrong Kirihara? It's unusual for you to be involved in the Atashi."

A tree that responds well.

She was plugging her body between Saint and Kirihara.

Protect your sister, as if she were going to shelter you.

"The Ten Rivers have entered the Shedding Candidate"

"... what? What are you talking about? All of a sudden, I don't know what that means."

"The only decent S-class left is Sage Kaohsiung and we're talking... this is me."

"No, so I don't know what that means."

"Sisters, come under me or turn to the side of the shepherd... you'll have to decide soon"

The tree's eyes sit still.

"Are you gushing your head, Kirihara"

"Takayuki, the words of Kirihara (the king's vessel) have passed... my sister Omake barks a lot today..."

"I don't deny that your sister's a jerk... but the naked king who's been through the Atashi has suddenly gone away?

Kirihara sighs deeply.

"It's just that Kirihara (the king's vessel) is finally conscious... don't make me say it again and again. The so-called" good grades but retarded ”is exactly what you mean..."

"I've lost to Atashi a few times over the final test. I don't want you to tell me."

Cockroach

Kirihara rings her neck.

"I'm a generalist..."

"Why, why... what?

"Even if..."

Kirihara reached out to Holy Arm.

"Holy... my sister is not hurt."

Grr.

The tree holds back Kirihara's hand, which reached her sister.

How dare you touch my sister?

Holy does not change one expression and is silent.

Her eyes seemed to observe Kirihara.

"In me... so far, I'm supposed to be a merciful little help..."

Kirihara breathes and strokes her hair back.

"We're not going to be safe because we show inequality..."

"Ya (...) Be (...)"

Silence.

For a moment, it was as if time had stopped.

And

"[Golden Dragon (Dragonic) -"

- Gowoooo... -

"[Thunder (Lightning), Those Who Tour Here (Shifter) -]"

- Bachi, bachi, bachi.

"Wow, that's it. - Kids!

Actually, Nyantan was on the verge of making a move to stop him, too.

But it was Abyss, the eldest daughter of the Four Kyou Saints, who came to a halt.

"If you want to make Mendokusai air any more -!? Like an impolite asshole oyama, I'm gonna punch him and quiet him down!? Hey, where are you going?

When I saw it, Shogo Oyamada, who made bruises on his cheek, stood behind Abyss.

I'm staring at Abyss with hatred.

Maybe he did something and got beat up.

It seems that he was not near Kirihara because he took Avis.

The pigeon breathed.

(I can't believe I can get in between those two without any nervousness... after all, the Four Kyou Saints are amazing...)

It was Kirihara who pulled my hand first.

"Always this guy, he picks up too many lives..."

Kirihara sighs worried as she rubs her neck.

"Because of the half-spec of the good guy side, the low-spec that squirts and knocks down the wrong way is going to increase the production of pokopoko... how can it be different in different worlds for the incomprehensible poor people to pull the legs of the strong? This is the king's loneliness.................. Shit, he's a jerk..."

The tree also goes down.

"... have you come to the other world and the taga begins to come off, Kirihara"

"Tree"

Saint finally opened his mouth.

"Thanks for your help, thank you"

"Hmm... I don't even have to deal with her."

"Oh, looks like we're all here, huh?

The next person to come was Agito, the eldest son of the Four Kyou Saints.

He somehow emerged from the opposite direction to the back of the demonic belt.

Besides, now, I'm riding.

"I'm sorry, but we left before the sun went up."

Agate sent her gaze to Nyantan.

Nyantan snorts small.

Behind it, from some women's groups,

"" "Yikes, agito saa" ""

The yellow chorus is rolling up.

"Hey!? I'm on some kind of horse!? And a white horse or something!

"Shit, shit, shit! I mean it, I'm fucked!

"It existed! Prince of the White Horse! No way, it's real...... ugh!

"Ali! That's the other way around, Ali! Prince system, ant!

"I can't share that glimpse up on SNS, it's this tragedy...... heh!

Agate smiles bitterly and looks in the direction of the Allion.

"I don't know... no matter how strange those demons are, it looks like they were supposed to return to the Allion today."

Kirihara asks without looking at Agate.

"What happened?

"A fast horse (Hayama) came from the lion to the camp near the boundaries of the demonic belt."

From the horse, Agate told him.

"The army of the Great Demon Emperor, who had no movement these days, has finally begun a massive southern march."
