Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 153 Mission: 09-8 The Final Judgment

"As long as you are willing to forgive me, I will do anything for you!"

When Nero heard the voice, she realized that the person kneeling was Nagasaki Soyo. And the person standing in front of her was——

Chihaya Aine didn't pull her hand away. She looked at Souyo, who was kneeling on the ground, bit her lip lightly, and said, "Nagasaki-san, you might have made a mistake."

"Eh?!"

This alienating name made Shuangshi look up, and his whole body trembled involuntarily: "No..."

"I won't go with you. This is my own business. It has nothing to do with you."

The words that drew a line between the two sides came out of Aiyin's mouth, making Shuangshi's hands and feet go cold.

"don't want……"

"I'm not the one who can forgive you."

"do not want!"

Shuangshi hugged Aiyin's arms with both hands, and burst into tears: "If Aiyin won't forgive me, I will!"

Hearing this, Chihaya Aine sighed.

"Shigasaki-san, you."

She reluctantly stabbed those heartless words into Shuangshi's heart: "You really only think about yourself."

As soon as the words fell, Shuangshi's face turned pale, his lips trembling, as if trying to convince himself, words mixed with tears fell one by one: "No...

"That's not the case... I'm planning to help everyone... so that Xiao Deng, Li Xi, and Aine... can escape from the dream..."

"No one has ever asked you to do this before," Aiyin's pursuit was cold and sharp. But she couldn't bring herself to say anything harsh to Souyo. She simply pulled her hand back and glanced away from Souyo with a worried look on her face. "I'm sorry to say this, but we believe Nerolo will come back and we don't need your help, Nagasaki-san."

"please……"

“Aine, wait a minute!”

Finally, before Aine could utter the words "Please go back", Nero arrived at the scene. Seeing Aine trying to drive Shuangshi away, Nero quickly stopped her: "She can still be useful to us!"

"Nerolo!"

The moment she saw Nero, the expression on Aine's face changed from gloomy melancholy to sunny happiness in just a moment, and the speed was so fast that it could only be described as "changing faces".

At the same time, the expression on Nagasaki Shoyo's face upon seeing Nero's appearance is also extremely interesting. His wide eyes and slightly parted lips convey his owner's surprise and disbelief, while the changes in his pupils and facial expression reveal his worry and fear.

Shuangshi didn't even pay attention to what Nero said. He just murmured, "You actually came back..."

Aine was about to engage in some physical contact with Nero again, but this time she was politely stopped. Nero now focused her attention on Shuangshi. She looked him over carefully for a moment and asked bluntly, "How did you become a demon?"

The word "demon" irritated Shuangshi. Her pupils trembled, and the fear on her face could hardly be suppressed: "I, I..."

"Just say it, I won't eat you."

Because Nero showed a little impatience, Shuangshi shuddered again and quickly replied: "Because, because this is the only way I can find everyone..."

Aine stood aside, not saying anything about this topic, but her expression was still a little conflicted.

Nero nodded, indicating that he understood everything. "So you swallowed your own magic tool. What about those demons outside?"

Mentioning this, Shuangshi felt even more ashamed: "They were all devoured by Nanna."

"You did it?" Shuangshi quickly denied: "No - it was Xiao Ace."

“So it finally took action.”

Finally, Aine said she couldn't bear it any longer. She pouted, looking aggrieved. "Nerolo, you actually knew something was wrong a long time ago? Why didn't you tell me~"

"Because you can't hide it."

"It's too much!"

After making a joke, Nero answered the question seriously: "Besides, if you are the only one who believes it, it will not only be useless, but also bad."

Then she looked at Shuangshi again and continued her interrogation: "What exactly is that guy's plan? Tell me as much as he told you."

"Well, yes, that's right..." Shuangshi naturally didn't hide anything, but she didn't know much. She also wouldn't discuss with Shuangshi the details of how Xiao Ace planned to seize Nana's power.

Even so, this was a great help to Nero in understanding the current situation. However, hearing that the ultimate goal of this series of backstabbing actions was to steal the Yama Blade still made Nero sigh.

Being too famous is really not a good thing.

Shuangshi was still kneeling on the ground, ready to be dealt with by Nero. He must have known that Nero wouldn't forgive him easily, so he was still trembling.

But there is good news for Shuangshi, that is, Nero really needs its power now.

"You found this place through the 'connections' between people, right?" Nero asked.

"Yes."

"Then I'll put aside your betrayal for now, because I need you to lead me to find Toyokawa Shoko's dream."

Nero said, his eyes glancing at Aine standing beside him. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Forget it. Take us to find the others first. Gather everyone."

This was like a suspended sentence for Shuangshi. It breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay."

The exit of Aine's dreamland was a double-decker bus bound for the airport. The three of them boarded the bus and followed the road, gradually approaching the edge of the dreamland.

"If only I had met Nerolo when I was studying abroad."

Sitting in the car, Aine looked back at the church school that held so many bitter memories for her and couldn't help but sigh.

“Really?” Nero smiled, his tense heartstrings relaxing a bit. “Come to think of it, I haven’t spoken to Aine in English yet.”

"But my spoken English is very poor... and I have an accent."

"It's okay, I won't laugh at you."

"really?"

"Really. And you'll never be good at speaking without regular practice."

"Ah... then, I'm so hungry, Pet Oil?"

On the slightly bumpy bus, Souyo remained silent, while Aine and Nero relaxed by chatting. As Aine, haltingly asking Nero in English how he could speak foreign languages ​​so naturally, the bus finally reached the edge of the dream.

It carried the three people and fell into an endless pure white abyss, then disappeared like foam.

"Hold on to me."

In the pure white sea of ​​subconsciousness, Nero grabbed Aine's hand. Led by Shuangshi, the two followed the thread that only Shuangshi could see and headed to the depths of chaos.
