the living [comprehensive]

The three girls quickly reached a reconciliation after waking up.

"What a worry-free little sister. But seeing you apologize so sincerely, I forgive you!" Meiyin, who only remembers the clip of her being hit by a high-voltage electric gun, said this, without asking herself why What was Shion's original plan to appear at the shrine.

"Old sister..." Shiyin stared blankly at the smiling girl and clenched her fists. "Actually, I almost killed you. It's all because of..."

"Oh, aren't Satsuko and I still alive and kicking? I don't care about the reason." Meiyin nodded, "You are so entangled in unpleasant things, Shiyin, you are such an annoying guy."

Having said that, the girl with no haze on her face obviously doesn't hate her sisters.

"I'm sorry, old lady." Shiyin hugged her sister, and turned to Saduzi who had been put down from the wooden stand and was wearing a boy's coat.

By the way, that gentle, unknown boy, after he fell asleep, just helped to treat the wound, left his clothes behind and left?

A little doubt flashed in Shiyin's mind, but she quickly focused on the girl in front of her.

There is no way to like the other party, and there is no way to forgive the other party; the person I like goes crazy and dies because of this burden.

But... If there was anything I could do for that lost boy, it would probably be to take good care of his younger sister.

Shiyin didn't know how to apologize, but the little girl opened her mouth first: "Shiyin, you are right. It is because I am too weak that I always ask my brother for help, so he can't bear the pressure. Therefore, I will no longer Stop crying and relying on others. These scars should be regarded as an apology for my brother."

Shiyin's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at the other party without blinking.

The girl had a lot of bruises on her outer arm—it was left by the other party's uncle.

It is clear that this child has been suffering silently, but he has caused the other party to suffer even greater pain.If he knew, he would definitely hate himself.

If you can take care of the other person's most cherished family members, then your own actions are not meaningless.

Feeling deeply guilty, the girl didn't say anything, but gently wiped away the dried blood on Sha Duzi's forehead, and then took the other's hand: "Let's go back." She said softly.

"Go to Gui's family first!" Meiyin reminded loudly, "Didn't you make an appointment to play cards in the afternoon?"

"Okay!" Sha Duzi cheered and seconded.

The girls walked out of the gloomy shrine hand in hand, the bright sunlight cast down through the shade of the trees, casting light golden shadows on their delicate and joyful faces.They left talking and laughing, but didn't hear the whispers in the depths of the dense forest, covered by cicadas——

"I thought at least there would be a big fight." Shirou, who was kneeling behind the bushes, whispered to himself, "Meiyin is such an incredible existence, she is clearly an extremely confident and strong person, but she accepts the fact of her unrequited love And my sister's dark psychology. But..."

But Satsuko, who lost his brother, seems to have become numb from guilt and endless torture.That expression, which was obviously a smile but was so empty, was simply...

"You can't do anything about that little girl, and your wild thoughts are useless except to add to your troubles." A familiar cold voice suddenly sounded in my ears, "It's enough to make a mess of the masochist and that crazy woman."

Shirou shuddered slightly.Whether it was the fact that the heroic spirit left and returned, or the almost comforting words of the other party, he was quite surprised.

Just now, when I said I was worried about this place and wanted to stay and take a look, the heroic spirit clearly disappeared angrily...

Shirou turned his head slowly.The heroic spirit leaning on the tree looked down at him coldly, the anger on his face was gone.However, Ling Shilang subconsciously shrank his shoulders under Yingling's sharp eyes: "I know that Shiyin and Satsuko will heal each other. I was just thinking that people with certain knots would be driven by the virus to delusional with each other." Crazy; but isn't selfishness and the dark side of the heart something that people are born with?"

"So, human beings are a kind of self-destructive creatures, not worth saving." Heroic Spirit didn't spray the venom, but just stated the facts he had already recognized, with a deep loneliness.

With his back to the Heroic Spirit, Shirou's nose felt a little sore.

Archer is more qualified to say this than anyone else.I can't refute it at all.

The ideal of saving everyone is impossible to realize.

But is it not worth pursuing a beautiful vision that is difficult to achieve?Will not the flower of hope bloom in the soil of despair and rage?Even Hinamizawa, who is doomed to perish, still has love and friendship that symbolize hope.

This is what he wants to tell Archer with his actions.

His eyes suddenly became firm, and Shirou stood up as he said, "At least Keiichi and his companions are safe. They are as strong as Meiyin, maybe they don't need anyone to save them? Reina is also a smart girl. As for Satsuko and Lihua is just a primary school student. I have to go back quickly, otherwise Shiyin and the others will suspect...Huh?"

Shirou, who was already close to standing, fell back to the ground due to the pain and weakness of his right foot.Seeing this, the heroic spirit who watched coldly showed an expression of "as expected": "Did you twist your foot when you were thrown down by that girl just now?"

"Hmm. I thought it would be better to use magic power to repair it later, but I didn't expect that the whole leg was numb due to the pressure from kneeling." Shirou pressed the high swollen ankle joint in frustration.

"Then you just stay here and wait for them to come looking for you. Oops, you who were found near the shrine will definitely be regarded as a pervert who eavesdropped by the three girls just now."

"Don't be kidding!" Shirou was annoyed by Archer's teasing.After thinking about it carefully, he softened his voice again: "That...Archer? There is something I would like to ask you to help."

Heroic Spirit watched the boy's side face silently.A little bit of pink gradually faded on the young man's fair skin, rendering the entire cheeks a light blush.

Raising his eyebrows, Heroic Spirit stepped forward and hugged the boy up.

"Huh...huh?!" Shirou exclaimed because of this rough move.

"Don't you want me to carry you back, brat?" Ying Ling frowned slightly, seeming a little dissatisfied.

Reflexively hugging the other person's neck, Shirou complained in a low voice: "It is true that I want you to take me back to Hinamizawa, but..."

——But it’s not for you to be hugged by a princess.

The unfinished words were terminated by the sudden action of the Heroic Spirit.The Heroic Spirit flying across the forest has the swiftness of a cheetah, and Shirou can almost feel the whistling of the wind.

During the Holy Grail War, Tohsaka also received such treatment, right?

How should I put it, although this guy is always spraying venom, he feels very safe in his arms.Shirou thought in a daze.

The house of the Maehara family was built on the outskirts of Hinamizawa. After leaving the deep forest, Shirou soon saw the familiar house, and Keiichi and Reina sitting on the steps.

"Archer, you can let me down now." Don't let them see Archer!

"Oh? Since you asked me, of course I will help you to the end. What's more, put you here, do you want you to crawl back?" Heroic Spirit was still teasing.

"I just used magic power, and my feet are almost healed." Shirou was a little anxious, "Besides, as a heroic spirit, won't you be in trouble if they see you?"

Hearing this, Yingling stopped in his footsteps: "It turns out that you are caring about me."

After that, the red heroic spirit quickly disappeared.Shirou, who lost his reliable embrace, fell to the ground unexpectedly.

—Archer bastard!

Gently rubbing the aching vertebrae, Shirou vaguely heard Heroic Spirit's deep laughter, he could only be secretly angry because of the inconvenience.

Slowly approaching the gate, Shirou heard the conversation between the two from afar.

"Is it really okay, Reina? You just went home, and you looked worried after that."

"No! Reina is just worried about the missing partner. Besides, no matter what the difficulty is, Reina can solve it alone!"

"Don't be brave. If you can't do it alone, just ask your partner for help. At least, I will definitely help."

"Really? But when it rained heavily before, Keiichi-kun drove me home loudly?" The girl was already in tears.

"At that time, I'm really sorry!" Confused by the girl's pitiful expression, the boy solemnly promised again, "I won't leave you alone. Whether you are sad, angry, or hating anyone, I will It will definitely save you."

Reina was taken aback, and the pitiful expression deliberately shown gradually faded away.

The girl who got the promise laughed sincerely, her blue eyes shining like jewels: "Then, it's a deal." Her voice was soft and gentle, "No matter what, hold my hand. "

Stopping in his tracks, Shirou sighed, and turned to walk into the shadows on the other side of the house, his original plan to go up to greet Yuan Li disappeared without a trace.

——Just kidding, who wants to bother with this kind of thing!It would be too bad to destroy such an ambiguous atmosphere!

***

Long Gong Reina is indeed a girl who is extremely intelligent and sensitive, but also extremely calm.

Therefore, no one can see through her inner troubles except Keiichi Maehara, who intuitively detects tiny signs.

Reina, who left Kei's family in the evening, the joy of winning streak when playing cards completely disappeared from her face after she turned around.She stared straight ahead, her ghostly pale face was determined.

After discovering that the woman who is about to become her stepmother is actually a liar who colluded with local gangsters and played the "fairy dance" trick, the girl and the other party agreed to meet in the back mountain at night.

——Father has been bewitched by that woman, and his own family affairs are inconvenient to bother his companions.

——Anyway, as long as the woman is exposed, the other party will run away in desperation, right?

The girl's optimistic thoughts were completely shattered the moment the other party rushed over and grabbed her neck severely.

Difficulty breathing and confusion in mind, the girl raised her eyes in such a situation.It seemed that she was trying to strangle her to death on the pile of debris in the back mountain. The woman tried her best, and her face became hideous because of this.

Reina struggled and swung the sharp weapon he found casually, piercing the woman's wrist crookedly.While the other side was screaming and trying to stop the bleeding, the girl finally got rid of the shackles and stood up, holding the thick long lead pipe from the ground tightly in her hand.

The protruding eyes shone with greed and ferocity, and the beautiful woman was already in an ugly form.When she reached out to catch Reina, the girl raised the hard and heavy weapon high up, and swung it heavily towards the woman's shoulder——

Click!

The sound of bones shattering was very clear even accompanied by screams.It seems that there are countless slender cracks continuously extending in the air, forming an endless sound of terror.

"When I came here," the girl murmured, "it seemed that I just wanted to protect my father and the happiness of our father and daughter."

However, if something like happiness requires a great price;

However, if something like happiness requires killing people.

——I must also strive for this bloody happiness!

The girl raised the blood-stained weapon again, and a deadly coldness diffused in her soft voice: "Just die here, you trash."

Lifting the long lead pipe like a samurai, the girl aimed at the woman's head—

The author has something to say: The princess embraces get!
