Fujimaru Ritsuka, but the main god space

Chapter 121 Close Contact with Liu
"Ryu~Don't be angry."

On the streets of Orario, a fairy with long golden hair was walking forward angrily, swinging her arms, while the leader was following behind, smiling and greeting the acquaintances passing by.

"But Alishea!" The elf named Liu turned around and said with a red face, "Kaguya has been teasing me in the meeting! She also said something like, 'I will be shaken by a man, it turns out that the fairy lady is not that noble' - and so on! Obviously, I have explained it many times!"

"If you don't mention it again after explaining it, it won't be a joke~ Ryu is just too serious." The red-haired captain raised his hands in surrender and said, "I actually like this~"

"Alishe!"

Although still ashamed, thanks to the persuasion of his own leader, Liu finally calmed down a little. Seeing this, Alisha had the opportunity to approach him slyly and smile.

"Rather than being embarrassed because of being teased, it's more like feeling unwilling because you failed to refute Kaguya again, right?"

"!"

"Hehe." Next to Liu, the two walked side by side on the streets of Orario.

"But this is normal, isn't it? Whether it's Ryu's overly upright character, or your 'noble justice' and 'unrequited justice' that most people can't stand, I find them all great. Of course, I can also understand Kaguya's character of using 'justice' as a weapon."

Alishea laughed and said, "Different kinds of 'justice' interweave, discussing things that seem shameful and inexplicable to outsiders. This is what our clan is like."

"."

Maybe so.

The words of affirmation were held in his heart, and Liu had no way of giving a response that would satisfy his captain.

Liu.Lion, the girl's name.

He is sixteen years old, the same age as Fujimaru, and seems to be a child who can think independently, but at this age he is just an infant in the fairy forest.

However, just as her own people only treated Liu as a child, Liu hated her own people from the bottom of her heart.

The reason is that kind of "purity".

Going beyond simple nobleness, it turns into disgusting arrogance. In this world, fairies are the most mysophobic creatures. Born with beautiful looks, they look down on other species, label themselves as the pinnacle of creatures, and even isolate themselves from the outside world, hardly communicating with the outside world.

For fairies, even having contact with other races, such as shaking hands, will make them feel instinctively disgusted.

Liu didn't like such fairies from the bottom of his heart, so he left his hometown and came to Orario.

She was originally in charge of combat duties in the village, and even in Orario she was an absolute strong fighter with superior talent and beautiful appearance. Most of the clans would extend an olive branch to her.

But she rejected them one by one.

Liu hated fairies - and this included himself, including the part of himself who could not tolerate physical contact with other races.

That kind of annoying nobleness almost drove her crazy, and her overly upright and twisted personality also made Liu fall into a manic state when she first came to the dungeon - until she met the Astralia family, met Alisha and Astralia.

Recognize her justice, her naivety, and her stubbornness.

Carrying the trust of his companions, Liu has been active in this dungeon for several years. The Astralia family also became well-known for their outstanding performance in the "Seven Days of Darkness" two years ago.

Recently, the goddess told me that I can be promoted to level 4.

At this moment, Liu is so powerful!
The confusion still exists and has even intensified, and the trigger was the "Seven Days of Darkness" two years ago.

To fight against the dark side of the city, the members of Astraea's family were dispatched, becoming the most dazzling stars besides the Freya family and the Loki family, annihilating a large number of dark factions. This should have been the moment for the "justice" in Liu's heart to be upheld.

but.
There is also a sharp steel thorn stuck in my heart that cannot be pulled out.

During the [Seven Days of Darkness], even though there was a clear gap in combat power between the two sides, some of Orario's residents unfortunately died.

And Liu was unable to protect them.

The vendor who was still visible yesterday was blown to ashes in front of him by the human bomb of the Dark Clan, and Liu could only protect himself helplessly.

Liu couldn't bear to see the things he needed to protect broken in front of him.

This should be a time to break down and then rebuild, and after the twists and turns it is time to rebuild your original intention.

but.

No one came to question her.

The clansmen took care of Liu, who was in a bad mental state at the time, and the goddess just comforted her with a lonely look as if she knew something but couldn't do anything.

No one came to 'hurt' her.

My heart was like broken glass with a crack only halfway through. Someone should have smashed it completely, but the [Absolute Evil] just floated away like that.

The leader of Loki's clan, the dwarf, also said that all these events have a driving force behind them.

He outsmarted Finn strategically.

If the war between the two sides is compared to chess, then the other side, even though it was missing several pieces, still defeated Finn and then voluntarily admitted defeat.

【He let it go. 】

He deliberately controlled the attacks of the Dark Clan to such a moderate level that people would suffer but would be able to recover.

why?
Doubt drove the girl to act.

Liu was eager to find that person.

And she
Successful.

On the last day of the [Seven Days of Darkness], after the remnants of the dark faction were expelled, Liu saw that [person] on the top floor of an abandoned church.

The moonlight illuminates every corner of the church that has been burned into ruins by the fire. It is incomplete, dark, but holy.

The whole body was wrapped in a black hood, and judging from the figure, it should be a man.

Or perhaps a male god.

[Family of the goddess of justice. Although it is a coincidence, it is also unfortunate. Before you came, I encountered a more fantastic future. ]

[Compared to him who already knows the answer and is following his own path, you are still too immature - even if I hurt you now, I probably won't get the answer, so, it's really a pity that I can't give you a 'trial' now. I want to cherish everything I have now and leave it for two years to decide the winner.]

[However, since it is a clearance reward after all, I will allow you to 'come over here' as well. ]

【Answer this question, fellow justice.】

[Your——'Justice']

【What is it? 】

Although he didn't want to talk and didn't want to waste time, Liu still stopped to think about that question.

No, leaving the doubts in her heart behind, Liu was definitely not the kind of person who would nag at a critical moment. She planned to capture the other party first and then have the so-called discussion. Facing the culprit who caused Orario to fall into disaster, she attacked with her strongest realm and strongest moves!

However, it was easily blocked.

Two figures appeared beside the hooded man without him noticing.

Judging from their body shapes, they are a man and a woman.

And the moment the battle started, Ryu didn't even have the thought of resisting - he was deprived of the right to think.

It's not just her.

The so-called "urban legend" was first spread accidentally by the elite adventurers of Orario.

Freya's family [Goddess Chariot].

Grace, the dwarf of Loki's family.

The Ganesha clan has an elite force of twenty-four people.

The four strongest members of Astraea's family, including himself.

All the "elites" of Orario at that time saw it, saw the back of the evil god and the two dark shadows beside him.

despair.

Just the tip of the thought and everyone is defeated.

lv5, lv6, even. It feels like lv7 is just like a baby in their hands, the gap in combat power is absolutely hopeless. Darkness fell in an instant, and before he fell into a coma, Liu's mind was only filled with doubts.

[If you are so powerful, why don't you destroy Orario? ]

[If it's really that strong, why can we win? 】

【why? 】

It was two hours later that Liu and the others were found.

There were traces of being hit by magic on her body, but even Ryu herself couldn't react to the timing of the injury. The injury was serious, so she had to receive treatment.

Liu was the first person to discover the evil god and his two bodyguards, so she seemed to be the most seriously injured. According to the doctor, she was just a step away from losing her life.

In the two years that followed, Liu thought countless times of that full-moon night and the god who had his back to him and was asking himself questions.

Recently, Liu had a premonition.

[That God] is coming back.

Ryuu, who was full of thoughts, and Alisha, who was traveling beside her on daily patrols and checking on her companions from time to time, walked on the street, enjoying the approving looks of the residents of Orario.

And at a certain moment——

Kerala
The sound was similar to that of bones breaking, and the sudden movement was drowned out by the hustle and bustle of the city. At that moment, no one seemed to notice it except Liu, who happened to be thinking with his head down.

However, when Liu subconsciously raised his head to look at the source of the strange noise, his eyes suddenly widened.

someone.

The source of the strange noise was a horse-drawn carriage carrying cooked meat. The driver looked panicked, and the horse under his reins suddenly raised its front hooves as if frightened for some reason.

Liu didn't see clearly the source of the shattering sound, but seeing the panicked expression of the horse, Liu knew that he could not just sit there and wait for death.

Glancing around, she quickly spotted that there were no pedestrians passing by in the horses' path.

Breathe a sigh of relief – or should you?

It shouldn't.

The accident happened like dominoes in an instant. The sound of the frightened horse scared a little girl holding a shopping bag on the street, causing the apple in her hand to fall, sway from side to side on the ground, and then suddenly rolled forward.

"Ah! Apple!"

The child's vision was extremely narrow and his brain circuit went too far, so he subconsciously chased after the apple that his parents had asked him to buy in order to avoid being scolded by his family.

However, this was absolutely the wrong thing to do and happened at absolutely the wrong time.

For some reason, the horse went berserk and rushed towards the girl!
By the time Liu realized this, it was already a little late.

Oops!

His eyes were wide open with anger, but he could do nothing.

In terms of speed, Liu was absolutely confident that he could be dozens of times faster than a horse in an instant, so the title of "Swift Wind" adventurer was not undeserved.

But if it was so fast, how could he save the girl without hurting her body at such a fast speed?

She would have to sprint at full speed to catch up, but even if she caught up, she would not have time to brake or adjust. Under inertia, she would pull the little girl away. The moment their bodies touched, her overly strong body as an adventurer would tear the little girl's frail body into pieces.

But but! !——

to do it?

But it is possible that you may become the perpetrator instead.

Don’t do it?
Just watch the tragedy happen?

do not know.

Without any warning, the multiple-choice questions appeared in front of Liu, so coincidental that it made people feel as if someone was pushing him from behind.

But at that moment, Liu subconsciously rushed out, faster than Alisha beside him.

There was no time to chant magic, no way to draw the weapon, and no chance to adjust his position in mid-air to kick the frightened horse away.

How to do?
What to do, what to do, what to do, what to do! ——

My spirit was stretched to the limit, even my tailbone began to feel numb and sore. My brain kept secreting neurotransmitters that rushed around in my mind, but I was completely unable to come up with an answer.

If this was an attack that threatened Liu herself, she would definitely deal with it beautifully.

but.
At the critical moment, when the lives of others are in danger——

But she couldn't move.

The roar of the horses, the young face of the little girl who was stunned when she looked up, everything in the field of vision began to slow down.

Then--

boom! ! ! !

Liu's pupils widened.

It was because of the man who suddenly bumped into her field of vision, and because of the stone fragments that flew up under his foot.

Azure eyes.

Black tangled hair.

And
A handsome profile that is so calm that it is incomprehensible.

It's the rescuer!
Liu didn't even have time to confirm the other party's identity before he thought of the current situation.

Within one thousandth of a second, the other party arrived in front of the little girl and decelerated, and was definitely able to take the girl away.

But at this moment, I was rushing over at full speed and became a hindrance, which might interfere with the other party's rescue!
Awesome! —But that person! Who is that person!
It’s so suspenseful!
No matter who it was, Liu was very anxious, but didn't know what to do.

At the same time - Ritsuka squinted his eyes, stretched out one hand to face the out-of-control horse, and noticed Ryu rushing towards him and unable to brake from the corner of his eye.

"Hmm."

Snapped!
There was no moment of hesitation.

He held the horse's head with one hand and grasped it with five fingers, while at the same time he grabbed the palm of Liu who was rushing towards him with the other hand. In an instant, his hands were clasped tightly, and their skin was pressed against each other, tightly blending together. The force he used was enough to make the tender white flesh turn a deep red, and the burning blood flowed in an instant, and they could feel each other's temperature at a negative distance!
There was not a trace of hesitation or delay in the Master's movements.

The moment he lowered his waist, the ground collapsed, completely stopping the horse's kinetic energy without hurting the horse itself, while his other hand suddenly turned into an afterimage and swung upwards.

The world is spinning, the next second.
boom! ! !
Liu turned into a golden cannonball and flew over Orario, smashing the wall of the second floor of an empty shop next door and getting stuck in the middle, with only its tail exposed.

Alisha opened her mouth and looked at the scene, letting the broken stone fragments fly into her mouth.

Passersby looked at this acrobatic scene in amazement, and also covered their heads with their mouths open.

The picture froze for half a second.

It was not until the wall could no longer support Liu's weight and the stone bricks shattered, and Liu fell down from the second floor in a mess, rolled on the ground for several circles, and finally stopped at Ritsuka's feet, that there was no sound in the air other than people's breathing.

And Lixiang——

"Phew, a close call."

The Master who just came out of the tavern to help others stood in the middle of the ruins, the moonlight shining from behind him like a silver-white holy sword.

He turned his head and looked at Liu, who had just rolled beside him, fell to the ground, and looked up at him blankly.

"Are you the adventurer from Astraea's family?"

"Is everything okay?"

Moonlight, man, woman, one standing, one sitting, the famous painting is replayed at this moment.

That was the encounter that Liu found in the dungeon.
