I don't want to be a heroic spirit

"This is a piece of work you've put so much thought into, right? I can see that you once loved painting and put a lot of effort into it. If that's the case, then you can show this painting to others with even greater confidence. Because... perhaps you once feared the gazes of others because of their betrayal, but the effort and hard work you've put in the past will never betray you."

“Your hard work and persistence will water beautiful flowers, and time will make them bloom.”

His eyes slowly widened and his face turned red.

Nanashi was so frightened that her whole body stiffened. After a while, she ran hurriedly behind Yoshino, closed her eyes tightly and dared not look directly at Melyuchina.

"This scary guy... is he actually this handsome?"

This was an idea that suddenly popped up in Nana Sin's mind.

However, Melyuzina just thought that she had scared the other person away again.

"What a shame! I thought the atmosphere just now was quite pleasant... Human emotions are so complex..."

Even someone as strong as Melyuchina felt a little discouraged.

What she felt sorry for was that even though Yoshino had helped to appease Nana Sin, her relationship with Nana Sin still hadn't improved. She felt a little sorry for Yoshino's efforts...

"Alright, the works of Yoshino and Nanashi have already been displayed."

Shionai's distinctive voice rang out once again, "Now, Lancelot's painting is the only one left that hasn't been shown to everyone. Of course, it's understandable if you don't want to show it. After all, the Seven Deadly Sins' works are so impressive, it must have put a lot of pressure on you, hehe."

The mean words could not change the expression on Melyuchina's face. Both her expression and eyes were so calm, giving people a feeling of composure as if "Mount Tai collapses in front of her and she remains calm, a deer appears on her left and she does not blink."

"I admit that I am indeed not as good as Seven Sins in the field of painting."

"Ohhh! You actually frankly admitted your shortcomings?"

Shion covered her mouth in surprise, and even Shion and Nanashi could see surprise in their eyes.

"Is this so surprising?"

Melyuchina tilted her head in confusion, then said calmly, "I'm not so fragile as to be afraid to accept such an obvious gap. Inferior is inferior."

Looking at Melyuchina like this, the inferiority in Nanashi's eyes became even stronger.

"So dazzling... How could such a dazzling person exist in this world? I feel like they're the complete opposite of me..."

Melusina also showed her paintings to Nanashi and Yoshino.

How to describe it... average.

You can see the artist's intentions, but the techniques are very amateurish. Judging from the standards of an enthusiast, it is a good painting, but there is a clear gap compared to Nanashi's paintings.

Looking at the dazzling Melyuchina, Nanashi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Even though everyone admits they're not as good as me, I still can't be happy... I feel like I've lost in some more important area... A crushing defeat!"

At this moment, Melyuzina suddenly felt hurried footsteps outside the door, and the footsteps were approaching this side.

There was a knock on the door, followed by the voice of Itsuka Shido.

"Lancelot, Nanashi, Yoshino, are you in the room?"

"It's Shido!"

"Shidou is back?"

Yoshino was happy that Itsuka Shido had returned home, and a bright smile appeared on her face.

Melusina walked to the door and turned the doorknob, allowing everyone in the room to see Shido Itsuka standing outside the door.

"Are you... drawing?"

Before entering the door, Gokawa Shido saw the paintbrushes and drawing papers scattered all over the small table, and felt a little curious.

"Shidou, do you want to draw it too?"

Melusina looked at Itsuka Shido expressionlessly, "I heard from Kotori that you used to love drawing character designs in your notebook during class, like the Black Knight Levan..."

"Ah——! Ah——! Ah——!"

Shido Itsuka screamed hysterically as if he had seen a ghost, trying to cover up what Melyuchina said.

I feel a bit pitiful for Gokawa Shido, as he has a sister who exposes his dark past from time to time...

However, Melyusina felt that Gokawa Shido's reaction was a bit exaggerated... Which boy hasn't experienced a Chuunibyou experience? She had done the same thing when she was little. Almost every page of her elementary school textbooks was filled with her drawings of little people, magic circles, and Chuunibyou spells.

There was even one time when she was so bored during an exam that she couldn't help but draw a little man on the test paper, and the teacher deducted two points from her test score...

Looking at Gokawa Shidao kneeling on the ground in the "Ort" position, Melusina said: "So, do you have something to talk to us about? Shidao, it's rare for you to come to us as soon as you get home from school."

"Well... indeed, I have something very important to ask you."

As he staggered to his feet, Shido Itsuka's expression was a little heavy.

It feels like he has already gotten the answer even if he doesn't ask the question, but he forces himself to continue asking because he denies this reality.

"Have you...ever heard of the name 'Tobiichi Origami'?"

The room suddenly fell into silence.

"Tobiichi... Origami?"

Nanashi repeated the name, touched his chin in confusion, and then shook his head.

"I don't know him... who is that?"

"that……"

At this moment, Yoshino spoke anxiously, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shidou... I don't remember that name either."

"It sounds like a girl's name."

Yoshina shook her head, "Is that the name of the girl Shidou likes?"

"You... don't remember either..."

Itsuka Shido muttered unwillingly in a low voice, leaning against the door with a heavy expression.

Shido Gokawa didn't know why it turned out like this. Today, he went to school with Tohka, Yakuya, Yuzuru and the others as usual.

The abnormality was discovered at school. Next to him, the seat that originally belonged to Origami Tobiichi, was empty today.

If that were all, it would be fine. He would have thought that Tobiichi Origami had just taken a sick leave. However, when the teacher called the roll, he did not hear the name "Toriichi Origami".

Realizing something was wrong, Gokawa Shido immediately stood up and asked the teacher. The teacher, with a stunned expression, replied...

"Origami... classmate? Who is that?"

Not just teachers.

All the classmates in the class have forgotten Tobiichi Origami.

Then, Gokawa Shido asked Tohka, Yakuya, Yui and others, and the answers he got were surprisingly consistent.

The elf girls acted as if they had never seen Tobiichi Origami before.

Shido Gokawa even skipped classes and went to Origami Tobiichi's residence, but found nothing...it was just an empty house.

The people nearby also had no impression of the name "Tobiichi Origami".

It was as if... Tobiichi Origami was just a figment of Shido Gokawa's imagination.

In the end what happened?

Why did Tobiichi Origami seem to have disappeared from the face of the earth after just one night?

As soon as he got home, he asked Yoshino and the others the same question, and as expected, he got the same answer.

No one around him knew the person called "Tobiichi Origami", so he was almost convinced that there was something wrong with him and that he was hallucinating.

then……

"That idiot Origami, I remember it. I taught her so many things, but she just couldn't remember them."

"!!!"

To Itsuka Shido, those casual words were like a ray of morning light piercing the long night.

Just like a person who had been trapped in a dark cave for three days and three nights suddenly saw the light shining through the cracks in the rocks, Shido Itsuka looked into Melyuchina's eyes excitedly.

"Do you remember? Lancelot, do you remember origami?!"

Nanashi and Yoshino were full of doubts about Shido Itsuka's sudden emotion, but only Melusina could understand a little.

To her surprise, Gokawa Shido's memory was not affected at all, and he still had the memory of the past before it was changed. It was obvious that he had not been hit by the Twelve Bullet in this world line.

529

Chapter 529: I would rather die than let my friend die.

Next, Melyusina began to tell Shido Itsuka about her experience of traveling to the past. Of course, Melyusina did not drive away Nanashi and Yoshino while telling the story, allowing everyone to listen together.

Including Shido Gokawa from another world line, the true identity of the elf who killed Origami's parents in the past, and finding Kurumi Tokisaki from five years ago and traveling through time again, etc.

Melusina told Gokawa Shido and the others everything.

"Shidou, you should still remember, right? Last night, after I said goodbye to you, I took Origami to find Kurumi."

"Yes, I still remember that incident... So you really succeeded in changing the past?"

Shido Itsuka scratched his head. He didn't know what expression to make after suddenly receiving such a ridiculous message.

Because he still retained the memories related to Origami Tobiichi, Shido Itsuka still remembered the agreement between Melyuchina and Origami Tobiichi, remembered that Origami Tobiichi had told him in person that her parents died because of elves, and remembered that Melyuchina took Origami Tobiichi to find Tokisaki Kurumi last night.

After Melyuchina took Origami Tobiichi away last night, Shido Itsuka didn't notice anything unusual and went to bed normally. But when he woke up today, he found that the whole world had changed.

So why didn't he connect the two things?

Of course, Melyuchina also had some things that she didn't say, for example... she didn't rely on Tokisaki Kurumi's Twelve Bullets to go back to the past, but used time and space magic.

As for how she came back...

But she suddenly remembered that although Shido Itsuka was not suitable as an anchor point because he was from another world line, there was still the Elf Origami!

That origami elf was a mixture of origami from two world lines, and after being sent back, Melyuchina could use the origami she knew as an anchor point to return.

Although the Elf Origami has disappeared, the traces she left behind while traveling through time and space are still there. Worried that the traces would disappear, Melyuchina immediately flew out and successfully used time and space magic to return to the correct world line before the traces disappeared.

Shido Itsuka was looking down in deep thought. Melusina did not bother to disturb him but turned to look at Yoshino and Nanashi.

"What about you? Do you also believe what I say?"

Melyuchina said calmly, "Shidou has that part of his memory, but for you who don't have that part of your memory, what I talked about with Shidou must be very absurd, right?"

"I...I believe in Sister Lancelot, and Mr. Shidao..."

Although she was a little nervous when she opened her mouth, Yoshino's trust in Melusina and Itsuka Shido did not seem fake.

"Really? Yoshino trusts Lancelot and Shidou too much."

Shion said worriedly, "If it's Lancelot and Shidou, it seems like they can trick the pure Shion into bed with just a few words."

"I wouldn't do that!"

Itsuka Shido immediately objected loudly.

"I know, I know. After all, if Shidou had that intention, whether it was Yoshino, Tohka, Yakuya, or Yuzuru, they would have already taken on Shidou's shape long ago."

At this point, Yoshino suddenly became serious, "So, don't betray Yoshino's trust, Shidou-kun, and Lancelot."

Shido Itsuka, who didn't expect that the naughty Yoshina would suddenly become serious, was stunned for a moment, then frowned.

"Well, I will definitely do it."

Seeing Yoshina looking over here, Melyuchina smiled slightly.

"I am the Fairy Knight Lancelot, bearing the title of the strongest Knight of the Round Table. Although I'm not very good at socializing and speaking, I would never do anything to make a beautiful woman cry."

Yoshino chose to believe, so Nanashi was the only one left among the people present...

"Honestly, I still find it hard to believe... Why would Yoshino believe such a ridiculous thing so easily?"

Nanashi sighed slightly, then turned her head and whispered in a helpless and complicated tone, "Since Yoshino believes it, then I have no choice but to believe it too..."

The problem that had troubled Shido Itsuka for the entire day was solved. Melyuchina's words proved that Tobiichi Origami was not his fantasy, so he felt much more relaxed than when he first arrived.

"Speaking of which, why isn't Erya here?"

Itsuka Shido asked Melyuchina curiously.

Nia is a very popular professional manga artist, and she often pesters Melyusina. At first, Shido Gokawa thought that if it was Honjo Nia who possessed the omniscience of the angel, she would definitely be able to answer his questions.

"How could you possibly let Erya stay here?"
