"........."

She remained silent.

However, both sides knew that this was the truth.

Kobayashi was initially puzzled. The other party could have directly pinned the crime on the "criminal" and secured the final victory, but instead chose to take a huge risk and attack him at the very moment of victory.

Even if there was any suspicion that she was taking the opportunity to eliminate potential enemies and throw the blame on the criminals, Kobayashi clearly stated that she would not participate in the night party, so she could not become a potential enemy.

Therefore, the reasoning is invalid.

"But if we assume you are a [Demon Eater], the reason for doing so becomes obvious."

Xiaolin wore a confident smile.

The battle girl grew increasingly silent, and her aura became more and more dangerous, indicating that all her deductions were correct.

"But you should have said so earlier if you were lusting after me."

Kobayashi instead blamed the other party, saying, "Although I can't give you my body, I can still let you taste a part of it."

"You got to taste some?"

"Yes, part of it."

Xiaolin lowered his head and looked at his pants.

"..."

"..."

Both sides fell silent.

But then, the fighting girl said with disgust, "Save your sleep talking while you're asleep, you bug!"

His generous approach only earned him the girl's rebuke and violence, as she wielded her longsword with impenetrable force, far more ruthless than before.

But that's all.

An automaton without a puppeteer by its side cannot use magic. Could it be that it thinks it can defeat itself with swordsmanship?

That's seriously underestimating me!

Seeing that she couldn't break through after a long time, the fighting girl also spoke up in an attempt to distract Kobayashi, saying coldly, "If only you were as easy to deal with as that cockroach, you bug."

Her meaning was nothing more than that Akabane Raishin had been dealt with, and she wanted to use him as a threat to make Kobayashi panic.

Kobayashi laughed instead.

"Hahaha—you know what? Cockroaches are incredibly resilient. I'm sure he won't just give up like that."

"You were talking in your sleep, let's talk about it when you're asleep... What?!"

Just then—

A sudden earthquake struck, followed by a sudden gust of wind.

Crimson magic transformed into a raging tornado that shot into the sky, rustling the surrounding trees. A powerful pressure slowly spread out, causing lingering fear even from a great distance.

As expected of an automaton produced by Hualiuzhai, its power is exaggerated.

"Hahaha—the tide of battle has turned! What are you going to do now?"

Kobayashi's nasty teasing followed.

The battle girl looked at the magical storm soaring into the sky in the distance, and without any hesitation, she immediately created distance and flew straight into the distance.

Do you think you can escape?

Xiaolin exerted force with both legs and soared into the sky to catch up.

------

The turmoil that occurred night after night also disturbed another battlefield.

The "culprit"—Charlotte—who was lured out by the bait, along with the ten disciplinary committee members who surrounded her, and Felix, who was making a sorrowful expression.

Sensing the oppressive aura emanating from afar, the disciplinary committee members panicked.

But under Felix's command they calmed down and were then assigned to support the area where the riots had broken out.

After everyone left and the surroundings became quiet.

Felix finally smiled as always and said in a low voice, "Now we can have a proper talk, Charles."

“Felix…”

Charlotte felt a chill run down her spine.

The smile that had previously been so warm now felt terrifying.

Her throat was dry, and she asked in a hoarse voice, "...You don't believe I'm the [Demon Eater], do you?"

“Of course, otherwise I would be very troubled,” Felix replied, giving a puzzling answer.

what does that mean?

Before Charlotte could ask any questions, Felix spoke again: "I originally planned to have Kobayashi get rid of you, but that guy was too cunning. Luckily, he was tricked into coming out for your sake."

"...Xiao Lin?"

Charlotte had a strong sense of foreboding and immediately questioned, "What did you do to him?!"

"He was just taken care of. My colleagues will help with the cleanup."

"You killed him?!"

"...I just destroyed him."

"Why……!"

"Because he has an excellent magic circuit."

What? An excellent magic circuit? What on earth is he talking about?

Charlotte couldn't understand a word.

Another sentence flashed through her chaotic mind.

— Xiaolin was tricked into coming out because of her.

She questioned again, "Why? Why did you do this?"

"...Sigh. I used to think quite highly of you, but I never expected you to be so slow-witted." Felix sighed and shrugged, his face full of mockery.

An idea flashed through Charlotte's mind like lightning.

"You...used...me."

"It's just too much of a coincidence, Ciel. If you want to hate, then hate fate. Hate that you and I are both in this year of demonic corruption, and both studying at this academy. No... I mean, hate that your [Dragon Roar] is so similar to my [Demon Eater]."

Felix's words dealt a heavy blow to the girl he admired.

Fake, all fake.

Everything was meticulously planned by the other party. All the words spoken, the gentleness shown, and the goodwill extended were fake.

The girl's heart was shattered into pieces.

Just as Charlotte was in despair, she sensed the automaton rapidly approaching her. Felix raised his right hand excitedly and exclaimed, "Perfect timing! My automaton has arrived. It's time to end this [Demon Eater] commotion!"

next second.

boom--

An automaton descended from the sky, smashing the ground into a deep crater, and as dust billowed up, a figure slowly appeared before the two.

He stood with his foot on the fighting girl below, a sullen smile on his face.

He greeted the two of them:

"—Hey, good evening, you two."

Chapter 138 Liquidation! A thorough liquidation!

an hour ago.

While Akabane Raishin was on his mission, Charlotte was also on her mission, but her actions were reckless and reckless.

"Go back now, Ciel!"

Behind her, the dragon-shaped doll Sigmund flapped its wings and scolded in a low voice, just like an old father reprimanding his impulsive daughter.

But the impulsive daughter ignored it and continued walking.

Charlotte leaned forward noticeably, took large strides, and shrugged her shoulders angrily.

"Enough! You better behave yourself, Ciel!"

Seeing that Charlotte didn't reply, Sigmund rushed forward and bared his fangs at her, but his small size made him look rather cute rather than scary.

However, its owner ignored it and even slapped it away.

"You're so annoying! Don't you dare say another word, or I'll replace your meals with peanuts!"

What's the rush?

Sigmund stubbornly stood up again, flew back to her, and demanded, "That guy... what did Felix say to you?"

"..."

Charlotte fell silent, her expression somber.

Sigmund sighed helplessly and said, "Your expression is too easy to read. There should be a limit to how much you can hide things."

"Shut up! If you know what's going on, just shut up and help!"

“Then I absolutely cannot agree, Charles. If you want to gain that man’s approval, don’t do anything reckless. You just need to win fairly and squarely at the party, and that will shut everyone else up.”

"But I can't forgive them, they actually made me watch..."

Charlotte stopped walking, her gloomy expression tinged with obvious bitterness.

But she also knew that she was just using high-sounding reasons to cover up her true purpose.

Sigmund rested his hand on her dejected, slumped shoulder and preached, “Don’t let this unjust fight tarnish your dreams. You must fight for your family…”
