I don't want to be an elf!

"In the end, we still have to kill them!"

"At least I can give you a chance to save them, can't I?"

Dianci looked conflicted.

But now that he was at his wit's end, he could only nod and agree to the request.

“Very well, then I need you to meet with the Yamai sisters alone.”

"I finally managed to get rid of them, and now what do you want me to say?!"

"I'll give you instructions from behind the scenes."

Hayakawa Aki took a pair of Bluetooth earphones out of his pocket and handed them to Denji.

"Act according to my instructions, don't mess it up. The fate of Tokyo and the Yamai sisters rests on your shoulders."

Chapter Twenty-Five: Revealing One's Feelings (Part Two)

After reaching an agreement with Hayakawa Aki, the two began their operation.

However, Hayakawa Aki didn't have time to explain his plan in detail. The two of them mobilized the people and connections around them and searched the entire city for the Yamai sisters.

After Denji persuaded the Yamai sisters to give him another day, the two of them flew off somewhere to kill time.

Therefore, after a great deal of effort, they finally found the location of one of the eight dancers.

It was now noon.

Hayakawa Aki parked his car on the side of the road and looked at a deserted beach in Tokyo.

On the beach that should have been deserted, a girl with long orange hair was sitting.

The girl watched the ebb and flow of the sea quietly, like a clay sculpture, lost in thought.

He glanced around and saw Denji, who had arrived earlier, sneaking behind a tree and observing the girl on the beach.

Hayakawa Aki walked straight over to him and asked, "Can you tell which of the Yamai sisters it is?"

"Her breasts are relatively small, and she looks like Yagushi."

Dianci looked into the distance and deduced the other party's identity.

“Great, she’s the less intelligent one, so starting with her is a good idea.”

Hayakawa Aki quickly reviewed his plan and what he needed to say in his mind, preparing to begin his operation.

The two successfully reunited, and the operation could begin. Denji put on the Bluetooth earphone that Hayakawa Aki had given him, inserting it as deeply as possible so that the earphone would not be too noticeable.

After they were both ready, Denji took a deep breath and walked step by step toward Yamai Yagyuuya on the beach.

Both Denji and Hayakawa Aki's hearts were beating faster.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

As soon as I got closer to Yamai Yagyuuya, Hayakawa Aki's first line came through the Bluetooth headset.

Dianci dared not be negligent and tried his best to read the lines in a relaxed tone.

However, Yamai Yagura had clearly already noticed Denji approaching her, and replied without turning her head, "Just passing the time."

"This could very well be the last day of your life. Would you rather waste it watching the sea than doing something meaningful?"

"What I want to do is none of your business!" Yagami rolled her eyes. "By the way, didn't you say you needed a day to think things over carefully? How come you have time to come find me?"

"In fact, after several hours of thought, I have made my final decision."

"tell me the story."

"As you wish, I choose to let Yuzuru live."

"Hmph, at least you have some brains."

Upon hearing Denji's words, a look that was hard to tell whether it was relief or melancholy appeared on Yamai Yagyu's face.

Denji's expression froze the next moment.

Although he said those words, he was merely repeating Hayakawa Aki's instructions.

Without thinking, he just said whatever Hayakawa Aki said, and so the sentence just slipped out naturally.

He didn't realize what he had just said until he finished.

"Qiu! What are you thinking?!"

He was a little panicked.

He consulted with Hayakawa Aki in order to find a way to ensure the survival of both Yamai.

But that guy made himself say those words.

Could it be that Hayakawa Aki didn't fully understand the current situation while in the hamburger shop?

If we choose Yamai Yuzuru according to Yamai Yagura's wishes, then Yamai Yuzuru will go berserk when she finds out!

But now the die is cast, and his role is merely that of a mouthpiece.

Although he couldn't understand Hayakawa Aki's intentions, Denji couldn't directly ask him why he said such a thing, so he could only bite the bullet and continue, "Besides, I've already told Miss Machima about my choice, and she also thinks that letting Yuzuru stay is a good choice."

"Is that so? It seems everyone prefers Yuzuru." Yamai Yakuya smiled. "But that's only natural."

As she spoke, she stood up and patted the sand off her leather pants.

"Now that you have made your decision, it is time for me to meet with Yuzuru."

"and many more!"

Just as Yagami was about to take off, Denji quickly called out to her.

Yagami paused, looking at Denji with a puzzled expression.

“We don’t know where Yuzuru went. She’s probably killing time somewhere, just like you, and she might have already left Japan. It would be quite time-consuming and exhausting to find her,” Denji said. “After the fusion, your consciousness will disappear, right? In that case, why not cherish this last day?”

“Cherish... Even if you say that, I don’t know what to do.”

"Enjoy the scenery, eat delicious food, whatever you like, do it while you still have the chance," Denji continued. "But before that, I have a few questions. Could you please answer them?"

"When did you become so polite?" Yagami looked at him strangely. "Just ask what you want to ask. This dawdling isn't like you at all."

"Ahem, just think of it as end-of-life care."

Denji was a little embarrassed, coughed twice to change the subject, and then asked, "So, why exactly do you want me to choose Yuzuru?"

“Didn’t I tell you very clearly yesterday? Of course, it’s because Yuzuru is better than me.” Yamai Yagyuya said matter-of-factly, “Only the more outstanding Yamai can become Kazemachi Yamai, and Yuzuru is more qualified than me.”

"Is that really the case? In everyone's eyes, you and Yuzuru are equally outstanding," Denji asked. "Isn't the reason you made me choose Yuzuru because she holds a very important place in your heart, so you'd rather sacrifice yourself to let her live?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a strong gust of wind emanated from Yagami.

Denji quickly regained his balance and closed his eyes to protect himself from the sand, but he was still blown back several steps by the strong wind.

After a dozen seconds, the raging wind gradually subsided.

When Denji opened his eyes again, he found that Yamai Yagyuuya, who had been relatively calm, was now completely red-faced.

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Yagura crossed her arms and said in a flustered tone, "Don't use your shallow human thinking to guess my thoughts! Yuzuru and I are destined rivals! I'm only willing to admit defeat because Yuzuru is better than me! Not because I think Yuzuru is important!!!"

However, Denji and Hayakawa Aki did not believe her words at all.

Seeing her reaction only strengthened their suspicions.

As expected, the other person was more important to the Yamai sisters than themselves.

However, perhaps out of consideration for face and self-esteem, they are unwilling to confide in each other.

Having realized this, Hayakawa Aki felt more confident about his plan.

His spirits lifted, and he continued to relay the lines to the next person.

"Stop deceiving yourself, Yagyu. You don't really think that way at all, do you?" Denji said. "You're about to disappear. Even before you disappear, are you still unwilling to face your own heart?"

"You don't understand what you're saying at all!"

"Of course I understand, even the people in the Fourth Division understand. The only one who doesn't understand is you."

"Don't try to lecture me over a mere electricity bill!"

"So that means that in your heart, Yuzuru isn't important at all?"

"Well......"

Upon hearing Denji's words, Yamai Yakoya's expression froze.

His lips moved a few times, as if he wanted to refute, or as if he wanted to affirm.

But in the end, like a defeated rooster, it gave no answer.

"Fine, you win. You see that I do think Yuzuru is important to me. Are you satisfied now?" Yamai asked sullenly. "But what can you do now that you know? Make me feel embarrassed?"

“I didn’t mean to embarrass you,” Denji said earnestly. “It’s just that before you disappear, don’t you want to tell Yuzuru your true feelings and let her know how you really feel about her?”

"no!"

"If Xixian is someone important to you, then you shouldn't lie to her, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yagami Yagami fell silent.

Gazing at the sea not far away, there was no response for a moment.

Hayakawa Aki's palms were sweating.

Because he knew that he had penetrated deep into Yagami's heart and touched upon what was hidden within.

She, on the other hand, was considering whether to delve deeper into the matter.

Should we treat Dianci as someone we can truly confide in?

This is also why Hayakawa Aki didn't go on stage himself, but instead chose to have Denji act as a messenger to communicate with Yamai Yagiya.

Fools always get closer to fools.

After an unknown amount of time, as Denji grew increasingly anxious, Yamai Yakuya let out a soft sigh.

“You’re right, I shouldn’t have kept it from Xixian.” Her expression was somewhat somber. “But Xixian is a very gentle person. If I had told her my true thoughts, she would have hesitated when she was devouring me.”
