When Azhai and Xiaomeng came out of the shopping street, the sky was already dyed with the sunset.

Walking on the slightly quiet street, Xiao Meng had a strange look on her face for some reason.

Really, today?

‘Of course, it’s rare that the atmosphere is so good.’ DARK kept bewitching, ‘And, at the point in front, is the Tianhu Shrine with a confession success rate of up to 9.90%. No matter how you think about it, you can’t miss this opportunity, right?’

What DARK didn't say is that there is actually a very special thing in that shrine, and it is the key to getting the success rate of confession close to full value!

Anyway, at most, Xiao Meng was nagged a few words afterwards, so she was not afraid or afraid.

Perhaps it was the girl's unique superstition about divination. After hearing DARK's explanation, Xiao Meng couldn't help but look a little yearning on her face.

If I confessed to Azaka there...will Azaka agree?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly glance at the Azaka beside her.

"What's wrong?" Feeling Xiao Meng's little movements peeking at her, Azaka couldn't help but turn his head to look at the other person, with a little confusion on his face, "Is there anything on my face?"

"No, no." Xiao Meng waved her hand in panic, as if she was a child who had done something wrong.

"Oh. It's getting late, so let's go back early." After looking at the sky gradually getting dark, Azhai said to Xiaomeng.

"Eh?" Xiao Meng noticed the change in the sky at this time. If it were usual, she might have rushed back with an anxious look on her face, but today, she suddenly grabbed Azaka's hand with a constant cheering voice in her heart and said firmly, "I have another place to go."

"...Okay." After a little silence, Azaka finally nodded.

What should come. Sure enough, I will come... Then, let me cut everything off!

Azhai seemed to have a clear understanding of Xiaomeng's next actions, and a trace of determination appeared quietly in his eyes.

...

The Tianhu Shrine is famous among junior and senior high school students for its confession legend that is close to miracles, but in the higher level of the Demon Elimination World, it is an existence that is not even considered good for peripheral organizations.

The witch who presided over this shrine seemed to have completely fallen into the eyes of money, but because of her lazy personality, she did not even do the most basic daily blessings and sacrifices. She just stayed behind the piggy bank all day long, listening to the sounds made when the coins fell.

Over time, even if there are particularly strange legends, fewer people come to the shrine to pray for blessings, and recently they have almost never seen anyone.

"Woo~ I knew that I should have taken advantage of the legend that it was popular to sell the "Shen Water" that could make the confession successful. Well, a cup of 100,000 yuan should not be expensive."

Sitting on the steps of the main hall, the witch Boli Yinmeng couldn't help but sway her feet, complaining about herself in a big failure.

"Ahhhhh~ I really want to hear the sound of coins falling into the voucher box!!!"

"Click!" "Click!"

“Huh?”

Yinmeng raised her head in surprise. Perhaps because she was too focused before, she found that there were two high school students standing in front of her.

The previous metal sound was obviously the result of the two people putting the coins into the delivery box.

"Welcome! Are you here to ask for blessings? Or are you here to fulfill your wishes?"

Yin Meng's eyes turned into copper coins in an instant. Regardless of the etiquette that the witch should have, she jumped up and rushed to the people who came, namely Azhai and Xiaomeng.

"Hello, we just happened to want to come and have a look. I won't bother you."

Xiao Meng smiled and replied that when she just put the coins in her heart, she had already made a prayer. As for whether she could succeed in the future, perhaps she could only obey God's will.

The tension and timidity that had always existed in Xiao Meng's heart seemed to have been purified from the moment she came to the shrine.

"That's the case, then I won't bother you."

Although Yinmeng was only 18 years old, she still had a thorough understanding of the atmosphere of the two people in front of her. After smiling, she retreated directly to the main hall and handed over the large area in front of the temple to Xiaomeng who was about to confess.

And Azaka just looked around silently, as if something could attract him here.

The irrelevant personnel left the stage, and it seemed that the main show was finally coming!

DARK stayed in Xiaomeng's heart and just watched quietly. Everything that followed was only allowed to be taken by Xiaomeng himself, and as her shadow, it was time for him to disappear...

That's right, the girl with a strong bloodline of the fallen angel in the Nishiyu family will awaken her strength after she reaches the age of 16 and divide a fake personality from her personality - DARK. It is a protective measure left by the ancestors of the Nishiyu family to protect their descendants from being hurt by this excessive force. Once the master's personality can be combined with the person she likes, then the fake personality DARK will return to the darkness like her name.

It does not disappear, but just returns to the original body. At that time, the master's personality will gain control of all the power in his body and complete this ritual like a coming-of-age ceremony.

That’s right, DARK is Xiao Meng, and Xiao Meng is DARK itself!

This is the truth that Xiao Meng doesn't know, and DARK, as the guardian of the ritual, has realized this result since his birth.

This... maybe it's OK.

With Xiao Meng's call to Azaka, DARK's consciousness began to gradually blur.

Next, Xiaomeng, don’t cry~

This is the last sentence that DARK's consciousness stayed in Xiao Meng's heart before it fell into darkness.

With DARK's ability to hide, Xiao Meng had no way to sense the changes of the other party. At this moment, she just looked at Azhai with a slightly red face. Azhai did not avoid Xiao Meng's gaze and looked back lightly.

"..." Take a deep breath, then, spit it out!

"Ah Zhai, I like you!"

Xiao Meng just said what she thought firmly, that was the relationship she had hidden for more than ten years, and the love that continued to emerge since she was a child.

"Please date me."

"Feel sorry."

The same firm words represent the coldness of Azaka at this moment, and the repeated Shura-like face invisibly frozen Xiao Meng's hot heart.

“Eh?”

Xiao Meng tilted her head. Although she couldn't believe it, Azaka... did reject her just now, right?

“…It doesn’t matter if I ask you to say it again. Sorry, I refuse.”

Cold, without leaving any sympathy, that is what Azaka never showed in front of Xiao Meng, or... the true face of Azaka after Colos left!

It was like a stone stuck in her throat. Xiaomeng was just "I me me me me me" at this time. Perhaps, the chaos in her heart had made her unable to organize a clear word, and tears fell directly on the ground.

Azhai did not comfort the other party, or in other words, such decisiveness was what Azhai hoped for.

"I already have Coloss. So sorry."

Azhai just said this, not supporting him or wiping him, which was not in line with the gentlemanly etiquette taught him by Zhai’s father, but... it was in line with what Colos had always wanted him to do.

“Woo…”

Although Xiao Meng is usually very soft and natural, she is very strong at this time. After wiping away the tears, she showed a smile that was even worse than crying, "It's okay, you must be nice to Colos~"

That is the most sincere words, and it is the answer to the choice of Xiaoma who gave up the lover's option and returned to her childhood sweetheart.

"Ah, I will."

Azhai nodded. Perhaps, after today, Xiao Meng and herself will no longer be the same as before, but this is exactly what she hoped to see.

Only after cutting off everything can one embark on the journey of saving Colos, the road that does not know whether it is life or death...

"Ah haha, it's still late, so let's go back early."

The excuse that Azaka had previously said became Xiao Meng's reason to escape now.

I dare not face Azaka. I don’t know how to face Azaka.

Xiao Meng just said this, her legs walking down the mountain as if they were filled with lead.

As for Azaka, he still did nothing and answered nothing as before.

This scum!

Yin Meng, who had been hiding behind the grass, was observing the two of them, and she thought with anger.

What else would someone who refuses to confess to a girl?

Moreover, the most important thing is that it even broke the most proud confession legend of my shrine. You guy is looking for death!

Yinmeng followed Azhai, holding a huge hammer found from somewhere in his hand. Depending on the situation, he was preparing to "revenge" on Azhai.

"That scum over there, look at the hammer!"

It was time to say that I saw Yinmeng throwing out a flying swallow meteor hammer, and the huge hammer quickly flew towards Azaka like a centrifugal arrow... Xiaomeng beside her.

"Oops!"

The moment Yin Meng threw the hammer, she felt a mistake in her hand, but it was too late to say anything at this time. The flying hammer had turned into a meteor, and in a short while it would hit Xiao Meng, who was already immersed in sadness.

Perhaps because she was too sad, Xiao Meng turned her head in response when she heard Yinmeng's words. At that time, the hammer was less than one meter away from her!

Even the screaming was too late. What else could Xiao Meng do?

Unless he transforms into DARK on the spot, Xiao Meng can only sacrifice her life innocently in this sad place.

But... even if he was rejected by Azaka, he didn't want to be hated by him!

Xiao Meng, who had stopped her impulse to transform into, suddenly closed her eyes at this time, as if she had accepted the result.

Although I am a little greedy, I hope that Azaka will remember himself.

Xiao Meng, who was thinking this way, quietly waiting for the arrival of that moment.

One second passed, two seconds passed, three seconds passed...
