I don't want to be a heroic spirit

Yatogami Tohka asked this question out of curiosity.

This issue is also of concern to Shido Gokawa and others.

"Because my master taught me a lot."

Tobiichi Origami spoke first, sitting upright and straight-backed. "Not only did Master teach me some magic techniques I'd never heard of before, but he also taught me some combat techniques. Under Master's guidance, I can feel myself making significant progress each time. More importantly... talking with Master has taught me many little ways to make a guy happy. I'm sure they'll be useful to me when Shidou and I become husband and wife!"

As Tobiichi Origami spoke, the expressions of Shidou, Yakuya, and Yuzuru changed from "（⊙_⊙）?" to "Σ（っ°皿°;）っ".

However, Shidou, Yakuya, and Yui all had blushing faces, but Yatogami Tohka was the only one who didn't seem to understand what Tobiichi Origami meant.

"A small way to make Shidou happy? Can you let me know? I want to make Shidou happy too."

"Tohka..."

Hearing the sincere words of Yatogami Tohka, Itsuka Shido felt helpless and moved.

"Master's Master..."

Yamai Yuxian touched his chin and suddenly said, "That means... Lancelot became Yuxian's master?"

"Master! What a cool name!"

There was a glint of excitement in Yamayakushi's eyes.

However, Shido Itsuka noticed something else.

"Why do you want to teach origami magic and fighting techniques, Lancelot?"

"At first, I just wanted to do an experiment to see if some of the techniques I know can be used by a magician like Origami."

Melyuchina explained, "After your near-death experience, Shidou, and my narrowly missing that event, I wanted to strengthen you and those around you... Unfortunately, when I suggested training you, Kotori refused, so I had no choice but to start with Origami."

Huh? Kotori refused? Why?

Gokawa Shido thought about this and asked...

"How are you going to train me?"

"Shidou, you possess the power of several spirits. Rather than training your body, a more efficient method would be to allow you to master the power of the spirits within you. Therefore, my idea is to have you use this power more often in actual combat... and the target of your battle is me."

When Melyuchina said the last sentence, Shido Itsuka finally understood why Kotori Itsuka refused.

I beat Lancelot...? Really?

Will he die?

"But wasn't it DEM that put Shidou in danger last time?"

Yamayakuya asked doubtfully, "So, now that DEM is no longer a threat, there's no need for Shidou to gain power, right?"

"Reminder: Shidou will need to capture spirits in the future. There's a chance that spirits with ill intentions towards Shidou will appear again."

When Yamaguchi Yui said this, she deliberately glanced at Nanashi who was still lying on the sofa.

"Yes!"

Yamayakuya showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

Not only Nana Sin, but also Yui Miku, who she had just met. Yui Miku, who hated men very much, planned to kill Gokawa Shiori (Gokawa Shido) directly when she learned that Gokawa Shiori was actually a man.

More importantly, the abilities of the elves are more bizarre than each other, making it difficult to guard against them. For example, Nana Sin pretended to be Shido Itsuka in school to ruin his reputation. Even Tohka Yatogami and the Yamai sisters could not see through his disguise.

It seems like it would be a good idea to let Shido Gokawa master the power of the spirits to protect himself.

"no problem."

At this moment, Tobiichi Origami stood up and hugged Gokawa Shidao's arm with lightning speed. Her voice was silent but contained an unshakable determination.

"I will protect Shidao. No matter who it is, as long as they want to hurt Shidao, I will kill them... Therefore, in order to better protect Shidao, I will stay within three steps of Shidao. Whether I am sleeping, going to school, or going to the bathroom, I will never leave Shidao's side..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the elf girls immediately became unhappy.

"That's a bit too much, isn't it? If it's just for protection, there's no need to be so close, right?"

"Innocent, this is all to better protect Shidou's safety and chastity."

Tobiichi Origami stared at Yatogami Tohka with an inanimate gaze and said coldly, "Today's situation has proven me right. Shidou was replaced by another fake the moment he left your sight for a moment. If a similar situation occurs again in the future and Shidou's safety is threatened, are you able to shoulder the responsibility?"

"That, that, that..."

Yatogami Tohka's face flushed red, and after realizing she couldn't win the argument, she immediately hugged Gokawa Shido's other arm and said unconvincedly, "Then I don't need you at all! If I just want to stay by Shido's side, I can do that too!"

"Wow! How dare you two sneak off? You're so brave, but unfortunately, Shidou belongs to me and Yui."

"I agree. Even if the enemy I'm about to face is Master Origami, I won't be afraid. This is to repay you for your teachings."

After the misunderstanding was resolved, the few of them returned to their previous way of getting along.

A harmonious one.

Chapter 519: Ways to change the past.

That was... a conversation that took place when Melyuchina was doing combat training for Origami Tobiichi for the first time.

"Why are you doing this?"

Having just finished a set of training, Tobiichi Origami stared at Melyuchina and asked the question that had been lingering in her mind for a long time.

Fatigue eroded her body, and every movement would cause the wounds on her body to hurt, but... the feeling of progress made her obsessed. Whether it was her sword skills or the level of concentration of her magic, there was a visible difference compared to before training.

The other party also promised her that he would teach her some magic tricks that could be used in actual combat. Although the other party was only responsible for teaching, whether she could learn it or not still depended on her own efforts.

Hearing the question, Melyuchina looked towards Yuan Yi Origami. Every time Yuan Yi Origami looked into those golden eyes, she would feel a strong palpitation in her heart.

Melyuchina and Tobiichi Origami look very similar, not because they have the same hair color, but because both of them are the type who don't express their emotions easily. People who are not familiar with them will find them cold and difficult to approach.

However, Tobiichi Origami actively closed off her emotions, but Melyuchina was different. She was more like standing at a very high position, looking down at the indifference of the creatures that were lower and weaker than her.

"Because I have judged that the combat capabilities of Shidou and those around him need to be strengthened to ensure that the incident caused by the DEM does not happen again. At the very least, you must be strong enough to hold out until I arrive and defeat the enemy... I should have already explained the reason."

Melyuchina frowned slightly, but when she saw Tobiichi Origami's gloomy eyes, she slowly opened her mouth.

"However, you don't seem satisfied with this explanation. You want to know something else."

"I want to kill the elves."

The flames of hatred burned in Origami Tobiichi's eyes... On that day, she gave almost all of her emotions to Shido Itsuka for safekeeping, leaving only this hatred.

"The power you gave me, sooner or later, I will use it to kill all the elves in this world, and let it become a sharp blade that will pierce your chest in the future."

Facing Tobiichi Origami, who was almost turning into a vengeful ghost, Melyuchina simply said with a faint expression...

"But you didn't do that."

While Tobiichi Origami was stunned, Melyuchina continued, "You didn't attack me. I can interpret this as you didn't have enough chances of winning. However, facing Tohka, Yoshino, and the others who had already lost their power, you didn't attack either."

"that is because……"

Because he was stopped by Itsuka Shido...it seems that there is more than just this reason.

Although she has been arguing with Tohka Yatogami and always disagreeing with her for various reasons, but... it was during this kind of interaction that Origami Tobiichi gradually accepted Tohka Yatogami and accepted the fact that she was also an innocent girl.

There are also Yoshino, Yamai Yakuya, Yamai Yuzuru... After their spiritual powers were sealed by Gokawa Shido, they seem to be no different from ordinary girls.

I can cry, laugh, worry and get angry.

Although she had been using the reason that "Shidou would not allow me to do this" to convince herself, but... she was also aware that... she seemed to be gradually getting used to this kind of life.

If I were to stand in front of Yatogami Tohka holding the sword like I did before... I'm afraid I won't be able to swing the sword as decisively as before.

"Whatever the reason, it's a good thing."

Melyuchina suddenly spoke, bringing the lost Tobiichi Origami back to her senses. "This shows you haven't been completely consumed by the flames of hatred, turning into a vengeful ghost who only knows how to vent anger... No, even a vengeful ghost can at least distinguish between enemies and benefactors, and understand that kindness must be followed by hatred. If you simply let these flames burn recklessly, you're just a fool blinded by hatred."

After saying this, Melyuchina felt as if she had received praise from the Count and criticism from Black Zhen.

"...Don't lecture me like you know a lot."

A nameless anger inexplicably rose within Tobiichi Origami. She slowly stood up, supporting herself on the ground with her hands. She glared at Melyuchina with cold eyes and said, "You have no idea what I've been through."

"I don't know what you've been through, but I know a man who was forced into prison due to a villain's frame-up. His father died of illness while he was incarcerated, and his fiancée was married off to the man who framed him. He spent fourteen years in prison, and after escaping, he spent several more decades, ultimately sending those who had framed him to hell one by one. He's the most worthy person I've ever met to be called a 'vengeful ghost.' Even with such a deep hatred, he never forgot those who had done him favors, nor did he drag innocent people into his vengeance."

Because of Melyuchina's words, Tobiichi Origami was silent for a while, and her face became a little ugly.

"...As long as I can achieve revenge, I can give up everything."

"Even if Shidou died because of you?"

"!!!"

Tobiichi Origami widened her eyes and tensed her limbs like a jaguar about to pounce on its prey.

Melyuchina ignored the anger and said expressionlessly, "'I can give up everything' is much heavier than you imagine. Clearly, you're not ready to give up everything. Wait until you can personally kill everyone in this world, including Gokawa Shido, before you say that."

"As for now... tell me the reason for your hatred of elves."

Melyuchina's words drew a surprised look from Tobiichi Origami.

"If you use the skills I taught you to attack Tohka and the others, I will be very troubled... So, I plan to do something. I want to understand the reason why you hate spirits."

"...I will not give up on revenge."

Tobiichi Origami stared directly into Melyuchina's eyes, her tone filled with determination.

"Whether or not I should ask you to give up your revenge, I'll have to wait until I hear the whole story."

"..."

Tobiichi Origami fell silent, her heart in entanglement and struggle.

In the end, no one knew what Origami Tobiichi was thinking, but she told her past.

Five years ago, during the Tiangong City fire, an elf suddenly appeared in the sky, shrouded in light and unable to be seen clearly, and a scorching beam of light devoured his parents.

These are all the same as the original plot in Melyuzina's memory, and there seems to be no difference.

The reason why Origami Tobiichi is so obsessed with Shido Itsuka is that after she lost everything, the person who rushed to comfort her and was willing to be the supporter of her life was Shido Itsuka when he was a child.

However, according to Melyuchina's understanding of the original plot, the "young Gokawa Shido" was actually the Gokawa Shido who traveled from the future to that time in order to save the reversed elf Origami Tobiichi.

But... there was one thing Melyuzina couldn't figure out.

Since Gokawa Shido also traveled back in time, why is there no Melusina in Origami Tobiichi's memory? Why is it that even though Melusina appeared in this world, Origami Tobiichi still reversed her future?

In a fan fiction novel about a battle that she had read before, even though the protagonist was a visitor from another world, Origami Tobiichi, Kotori Gokawa, and the feminized Shiori Gokawa of this world still knew the protagonist. When the protagonist was troubled by his identity, Kotori Gokawa recognized him as a brother and took him home. The person who was harassed by Origami was not Shiori Gokawa but the protagonist. The reason was that the protagonist used Tokisaki Kurumi's ability in the future to travel to the past and got to know these three people.

When she first came to this world and discovered that it was a battle world, Melyusina had wondered if she would be treated the same way... To be honest, she was a little disappointed.

"I've learned the details... I see. Taking the lives of one's own parents, this level of hatred is truly unforgettable."

With her arms folded across her chest, Melyuchina nodded expressionlessly.

"You can understand that, right?"

Having personally exposed the scars in her heart, Origami Tobiichi's face was filled with anger. "So, my revenge..."

"But, Tohka and the others are innocent, right?"

Melyuchina changed the subject and stared at the angry-looking Tobiichi Origami in front of her. "Don't say that all spirits are the same. You know very well that the spirit that killed your parents is obviously different from Tohka and the others."

"..."

To this, Origami Tobiichi had nothing to say... She also agreed with this statement in her heart, but she just refused to admit it.

Looking at Tobiichi Origami who had fallen into silence, Melyuchina stroked her chin and fell into deep thought.

How to deal with this... This is a question worth pondering...

The flow of air seemed to have stagnated, and in this silence, the air became heavier.

"How about this."

Taking the initiative to break the suffocating and heavy atmosphere, Melyuchina said: "I can help you become stronger, but you cannot extend your hatred to Tohka and the others. You can only take revenge on the culprit from five years ago."

Tobiichi Origami was silent for a moment before she replied in a deep voice, "But I don't know the identity or appearance of that elf at all..."

Because she doesn't know the identity and appearance of the object of her revenge, all elves are her suspects.

"This is the problem..."

Melyuchina frowned and hesitated for a moment, "Then... let's go back five years and find her."

"……What did you say?"
