I don't want to be a heroic spirit

"It's okay, Tohka and Yoshino are all very innocent and kind children. As long as they spend some time together, the grudge in Nanashi's heart will definitely disappear."

"Who knows? Human emotions are so delicate and complex, I never understand them..."

After a pause, Melyuchina glanced sideways at Honjo Nia.

"However, when you talk about 'innocence' and 'kindness', you naturally exclude yourself."

"After all, I'm quite self-aware in this regard. I've already become a dirty adult."

……

On this day, according to the arrangement, Melyuchina will train Origami Tobiichi.

The location is Ratatoskr's underground base in Tengu City. Because she wanted to train Origami Tobiichi, Melyuchina borrowed this place from Kotori Itsuka.

The manifestation device was also provided by Ratatoskr. The manifestation device provided by AST to Origami Tobiichi was still too backward.

Although in Melyuchina's view, this kind of strength obtained by relying on external forces is as false as a castle in the air and can never make one a truly strong person, Origami Tobiichi's goal was not to become a strong person, but to take revenge on the elves who killed her parents five years ago.

So, when Origami Tobiichi wanted a more advanced manifestation device, Melyuchina did not stop her.

With Origami Tobiichi's current strength, if she had the added bonus of the advanced manifestation device provided by Ratatoskr, she should have no problem defeating Tohka and the others who can only use part of their spiritual power. However, if Tohka gets all of her spiritual power back, Origami Tobiichi will still lose.

However, today, when Origami Tobiichi put on the training display device and entered the training ground, she saw several familiar figures who should not be there.

"Master, please tell me, what's going on?"

Tobiichi Origami looked at Melyuchina who was standing in the center of the field and asked.

"My goal is to strengthen the protective power around Shidao. If I only strengthen you, it would be too simple, so I brought them all here."

Melyuchina stared fearlessly at Tobiichi Origami and said calmly, "After all, there's a saying you all have...herding a single sheep is like herding a flock of sheep."

After staring at Melyuchina's deep golden eyes for a long time, Tobiichi Origami turned to look at Yatogami Tohka, Yamai Yakuya, Yamai Yuzuru, Yoshino, Yuiya Miku who were standing at the edge of the training ground, as well as Honjo Nia and Nanashi who seemed not to be planning to play in the distance.

"Origami, you're working hard for Shidou, and I won't be left behind by you!"

Yatogami Tohka glared back at Tobiichi Origami without giving in.

"We, the Wind Priestess, will not fear any trial!"

"Reflect on yourself. What happened last time was enough. Xixian doesn't want to watch everything happen helplessly like last time."

Yamai Yakuya and Yamai Yuzuru were rubbing their hands in preparation.

"Everyone's fighting spirit is ignited in order to protect Shidou."

"Yoshino... will do her best too."

"Yoshina will be cheering for Yoshino, so go ahead and do it boldly, Yoshino! Let everyone be amazed by your performance!"

With Yoshina's encouragement, the timid Yoshino's fighting spirit was aroused, making Yoshina extremely excited.

"Really? I was so happy that Xiaolan approached me, I even put on some beautiful makeup. So I'm a little averse to strenuous exercise..."

With her right hand caressing her cheek, a hint of sadness appeared on Yui Miku's face, but it was quickly replaced by happiness. "Although I didn't succeed in getting a date with Ran, being able to spend time with so many cute girls...this trip was definitely worth it. I'll stay back and fulfill my duties as an idol. Leave the music and encouragement to me!"

"Oh, I'm not good at fighting..."

Honjo Nia stayed in her seat in the audience, squinting her eyes lazily, "Sway..."

"Woo..."

Nanashi said nothing, and shrank his head in fear when his eyes fell on Melyuchina.

It seems that it is too difficult for the current Seven Deadly Sins to challenge Melyusina.

"Kotori ultimately decided not to come. On the one hand, she's the Commander of Fraxinus, and generally wouldn't stand on the front lines as an elf. On the other hand, it's because she would easily lose her mind after becoming an Efreet (Burning Demon)..."

Melyuchina paused, her brows furrowed slightly. "To me, this worry is completely unnecessary. Even if she goes berserk, I can completely neutralize her before she can cause any damage. Doesn't she trust my abilities?"

No, maybe they choose not to come because they trust your ability too much. After all, the process of losing their mind is painful enough, and then they have to be beaten up by you a few times. Who would be willing to come?

Although a few smarter people did not say it out loud, they all thought so in their hearts tacitly.

Chapter 521 Are you Husky? !

"What? Don't you want to?"

Melyuchina walked steadily to Tobiichi Origami's side and asked absentmindedly, "Are you still planning to use the abilities I taught you to deal with Tohka and the others?"

"No."

Without a moment's pause or hesitation, Tobiichi Origami shook her head.

"Since I have agreed to your request, I will definitely do it..."

After a pause, Tobiichi Origami turned her head to look into Melyuchina's eyes and said in a deep voice, "As long as you don't forget the promise you made to me."

"Dragons are creatures that keep their promises. Born strong, they don't need to resort to deception to gain anything."

Melusina glanced at Tobiichi Origami, then looked away and whispered, "I've already negotiated with Kurumi. I'll pay for the time and spiritual energy required to return you to five years ago. Once you're strong enough, you can leave."

"……!Really?!"

Tobiichi Origami said this with her eyes wide open. Not only did her breathing become disordered, but the expression on her face was simply impossible to imagine from Tobiichi Origami's usual face... She even looked like an innocent child.

"...I have to remind you."

After a moment of stunned silence, Melyuchina said to Tobiichi Origami with a serious expression, "Don't push yourself to improve your strength as quickly as possible. I've already prepared your training plan. If you add more training without my permission and cause delays, don't blame me for not warning you."

"!!!"

Tobiichi Origami's eyes trembled violently, and finally, under Melyuchina's oppressive gaze, she nodded reluctantly.

"I see……"

Looking at Tobiichi Origami in this state, Melyuchina felt like sighing.

Really, they are all problem children...

……

Shido Itsuka also knew that Tohka Yatogami and other elves would go out for training with Melusina.

After all, Melyuchina had initially asked Shido Itsuka if he wanted to train together, but Kotori Itsuka, who had rushed over after hearing the news, rejected the invitation on the grounds that "Shido's weakness has not yet fully recovered."

Shido Gokawa himself felt that he should have almost recovered... but no one would believe him if he said so, so he could only listen to the doctor and look at the diagnosis results.

"I don't know how everyone is doing with Lancelot, and whether they are injured..."

Melyusina's powerful image has long taken root in everyone's hearts, as if as long as Melyusina is there, no matter how powerful the enemy is, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"That shouldn't be the case, right? Lancelot is so reliable, he will definitely control his strength and not use too much force..."

The desire to go and see it became stronger and stronger in my mind.

After all, when Melusina and others left, the house suddenly became deserted, which made Shido Gokawa very uncomfortable.

It's the weekend now. At this time in the past, Tohka would say she was hungry, even if it was not time to eat. Yakuya and Yui would start another inexplicable competition and drag him or Lancelot to be the referee. Yoshino and Nanashi were getting along more and more harmoniously and friendly. Yui Miku would come to visit occasionally. Although Honjo Nia always stayed in her room either drawing or reading comics, she would turn into an irritable sister when she found someone getting too close to Lancelot.

"Should I also train with them and learn how to fight using angels?"

Itsuka Shido suddenly thought of this.

He covered his heart with his right hand, the feeling of powerlessness when Tohka turned the tables still lingered in his mind like a nightmare.

I want to gain the power to protect the important people, I want to be able to do something... I don't want to be like that time where I could only watch everything happen but could do nothing.

Silent, contemplative, entangled...

Shido Itsuka was sitting alone on the sofa and accidentally glanced at the kitchen.

"...make some food for everyone and bring it over."

Thinking that everyone is working hard, but he, as the protected one, does nothing, Gokawa Shido suddenly feels a little uneasy, and wants to do something for everyone who is working hard to become stronger.

"After exercise, it would be better to eat some fish or soy products..."

……

Because he didn't know where Melyuchina and the others were training, Shido Itsuka found Kotori Itsuka, hoping that she could lead the way.

After learning that Shido Itsuka wanted to bring some food to the elves who were working hard, even someone as strict as Kotori Itsuka could not refuse, so she had no choice but to agree and took him to the base specially prepared by Ratatoskr for the training of Melyusina and others.

Then, when Kotori Itsuka saw the situation in the training ground, she exploded.

"How many of you!"

In the empty training ground, Gokawa Kotori's roar echoed.

"Kotori? You're here too."

Melyuchina stood calmly in the center of the field. Seeing Itsuka Kotori, she asked curiously, "What's wrong? Have you finally figured it out and decided to train with them?"

"You still know you're here for training?!"

Furious, Gokawa Kotori strode towards Melyuchina, pointing at her chest and angrily saying, "If you hadn't said you were training, I would have thought you were destroying the house. Are you huskies?"

At this moment, Yuiya Miku and Honjo Nia were carefully trying to dig out Yatogami Tohka, whose entire body was embedded in the alloy wall. Yamai Yakuya and Yamai Yuzuru were lying on the cold floor like salted fish that had lost their dreams. Yoshino was looking at the others with a look of mixed worry and panic.

Only Yuanyi Origami was doing better, sitting on a chair drinking water and resting.

Having trained with Melyuchina many times, Origami Tobiichi has gradually become familiar with the rhythm of the battle, and Melyuchina has also gradually understood Origami Tobiichi's limits.

"After all, this is the first training session. I need to understand their respective abilities and limits so that I can develop the most suitable training plan for each of them."

"But you can't ruin my training ground like this!"

Kotori Itsuka pointed at the hole at her feet and then at the cut on the wall, her face as black as coal.

"Although this isn't the best training ground in Ratatosk, it's the second best. Do you know how much it would cost to repair these places?!"

There was a reason why Kotori Itsuka was so angry. After all, she had just sent such a large aerial battleship, Fraxinus, back to headquarters for inspection, which cost her a lot of money.

Even if their organization, Ratatoskr, is very rich and is one of only two large companies in the world that can manufacture manifestation devices, we cannot let you destroy it like this.

The gilded eyes blinked, and Melyuchina became confused.

"Aren't you already working on DEM? If you acquire all of DEM's assets, you'll become the world's largest company in one fell swoop, right? How could you possibly be short of money?"

"It would be better if you didn't mention this..."

Itsuka Kotori glanced at Melyuchina with a strange look in her eyes, sighed slightly, and began to explain.

"After all, DEM is a massive organization that's no less powerful than ours, Ratatoskr, and it even has trading relationships with various major powers. Even with the troublesome Westcott gone, completely integrating DEM into Ratatoskr won't be easy. Right now, most of Ratatoskr's manpower and resources are being used to acquire DEM, which is why we're so short of money..."

After saying that, Itsuka Kotori's eyes shifted and she muttered softly, "Otherwise, my Fraxinus would have been repaired long ago."

When Melyuchina was found by Kotori Itsuka, Shido Itsuka walked towards the group of elf girls with his brows slightly furrowed in worry.

"Tohka, Yakuya, Yui, how are you? Do you need to be sent to the hospital for treatment?"

"Shidou... I'm fine..."

Yatogami Tohka was carried by Yuiyomiku, and her weak voice made Gokawa Shido worried.

"Frustrated... Miss Lancelot is so powerful that I can't see any hope of victory..."

“Ooooooo… That hurts… Why did Lancelot beat me up the most throughout this entire battle? As a Wind Dancer, my role should be an assassin…”

Yamai Yuzuru and Yamai Yakuya, who were lying on the ground like salted fish, made such remarks one after another.

Honjo Nia heard Yamayakuya mumbling to himself, so he walked over with a smirk on his face.

"Isn't it common sense to attack the back row and assassins first in a teamfight? You and Xixian happen to be an assassin and a marksman respectively. If Lan doesn't attack you two, who will he attack?"

"What about the tank? Isn't there a tank in a normal team battle to draw fire?"

Yekushi shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Tank? You mean Tohka? She was swatted away by Ran-chan right at the start. If that happened in a game, it would be like the tank giving away a kill before they could even develop, allowing the other team to develop first. No wonder your teamfight was such a mess when you think about it that way."

"Cuckoo..."

Looking at Yamai Yakuya's expression, Honjo Niya guessed that the other party wanted to report Yatogami Tohka for giving away his head.

Gokawa Shido glanced at Yoshino and Miku Yui, whose breathing rhythm was a little disordered but not as embarrassed as Tohka, Yakuya and others, and asked curiously: "Yoshino, Miku, you two don't seem to be hurt..."

The first person to answer Itsuka Shido was the lively rabbit puppet Yoshina.

"Of course, our Yoshino is so cute. There is no one in this world who can ignore her cuteness and cruelly attack her."

"Shi...Shiona..."
