In Zongman, the evil spirits are eliminated physically.

"From ancient times to the present?"

Chloe spoke of a frightening dimension of time.

"Oh, that's a shame. Our store only opened ten years ago."

Mizuki was speechless. These people come and go as they please. Do they really think we, Liko Liko, are soft persimmons?! Mizuki wanted to scold Chloe like this, but when she thought about the fact that Chloe could single-handedly wipe out the entire DA, Mizuki's anger suddenly disappeared.

Tsk, damn bastard from the other world!

"Oh, what are you afraid of? If we break or damage your things, we can just ask Big Brother for compensation, right?"

"He's almost giving me himself as compensation."

Ruixi's words don't sound false at all. She can marry ruthlessly.

"Sorry, this item is not for sale, not for sale or transfer. Please do not bid for it. If you bid, it will be considered as a gift."

"Smelly brat."

"Manager, let's borrow your backyard for a competition~"

Chloe clasped her hands into a trumpet shape and shouted to Mika in the kitchen.

"Okay, feel free to use it. It doesn't matter if it breaks. I'll send the bill to Ou."

Mika's booming voice came from the back kitchen.

After getting the consent of the person with the highest authority in the store, Chloe took Chanel to the backyard with her knife sharpened. Ouyang Xuan followed her out because he was worried.

"I'll only use my projection magic. If you want to use your breathing techniques, feel free to do so. I don't mind."

Chloe summoned her two swords and spoke to Kanao in a relaxed manner.

Knowing the huge gap between herself and Chloe, Kanao didn't hesitate. She took out her coin and tossed it into the air. After seeing the heads, Kanao nodded silently and said softly, "I will."

"Then please, big brother, call out the start."

"Don't take it too seriously. It's not good to hurt Kanao."

"Big brother, you are too concerned. That child is not that weak."

Kanao drew out her sword. Although she couldn't use the full breathing method all the time, Kanao could switch between ordinary breathing and breathing method in an instant and enter combat state at any time.

"……start"

As Ouyang Sun shouted, the breath on Kanao's body became rapid and powerful, because in an instant, Chloe, who was standing dozens of meters away from her, suddenly rushed in front of her, and the black and white swords rushed towards her with powerful momentum. Kanao relied on instinct to block with the sword.

Chapter 19 I also have things I want to protect.

The metals collided with each other with a harsh sound, and the close combat immediately turned into a fierce battle. Kanao only felt the force coming from the knife, which was disproportionate to her petite body. It was so strong that it felt like a car crash, and her knuckles were numb and painful.

"In battle, speed and strength alone are not enough. Speed alone won't break defenses, and strength alone won't hit. You need both, and both must be strong."

"Yes."

Kanao was in a passive position in all aspects from the beginning of the battle. Chloe's attacks were not only powerful but also fast. Kanao could only passively take the beatings. Just defending against Chloe's attacks made her unable to take care of herself and she was unable to launch an attack and was dragged into Chloe's fighting rhythm.

Kanao tried to use the breathing techniques several times, but Chloe discovered them in advance and used a targeted attack to nip Kanao's techniques in the bud.

"Your pre-attack swing is too long. Every time you want to use a move, your breathing changes, and your body stops to coordinate the move. This won't work. It's too vulnerable."

"Yes."

Kanao's voice was trembling, and all her energy was used to defend against Chloe's attack...

"Don't just focus on the swords and arms above. When the battle really comes, your opponent will not stand still and fight with you."

Relying on her petite and extremely flexible body, Chloe flashed in the gap between Kanao's sword swings. Her short legs could also burst out with powerful power. She kicked towards Kanao's knee, but was blocked by the knife that Kanao pulled back with all her strength. The fragile blade and the hard heel collided fiercely, and then Kanao's knife broke.

"By the way, what I just said was also a trap. My target has always been your upper body. Don't change your strategy just because of one thing your opponent said."

The back of the knife hooked the wrist and the jaw of the knife, and Chloe picked up Kanao's knife. When it was about to fly in front of Hina who came out to watch the show, Ouyang Sun slapped it to the side.

Chloe, who was using two knives, also had another knife. The white blade was placed on Kanao's neck. As long as Chloe used a little force, the sharp blade could cut Kanao's neck. Chloe retracted the knife with a strong smile.

"Okay, the competition is over, you lose."

Chloe retracted the knife, and the threat of death that was pressing in front of her receded like the tide. Kanao's eyes, which were as calm as stagnant water, showed a rare fluctuation.

"Kanaho, are you okay? Why did you suddenly want to compete with Chloe?"

Shinobu ran to Kanao anxiously, and when she came out of the shower, she heard that Kanao had challenged Chloe to a fight, which almost scared her to death. Chitsuka and Takina were no longer people they could deal with, let alone Chloe, who was in the same dimension as Ouyang Falcon.

"I... want to become stronger... Shinobu-san wants to become stronger... I want to help Kanae-san... I also want to become stronger... I want to help Shinobu-san and Kanae-san..."

Kanao's voice was still as flat and robotic as ever, but this time one could clearly hear her unwillingness and stubbornness, as if she was kneeling in the backyard and shouting to Ouyang Jun that she also wanted to become stronger. The two sisters were saying similar words in the same place.

"Kanaho..."

"I know that during this period... my sisters didn't want me to participate in such a dangerous battle... with demons... I also wanted to follow their wishes... but. But I really can't do it... I can't hide in the classroom by myself while my sisters are fighting... I also want to become stronger... I also want to be a helper to my sisters... We are sisters. Isn't it? From the moment that Kanae-nee and Shinobu-nee rescued me... we have been real sisters... isn't it? You promised me... we are real sisters..."

It has been so long since they talked so much at once. Kanao's pronunciation was a little unclear, and some words were said wrong, but the emotions were real, and the tears that fell while talking were also real. The feelings between sisters were even more real. Kanao wanted to protect her sisters and wanted to fight alongside them. She didn't want to be a little sister protected by her sister's skirt.

"I'm sorry! Kanao, it's my sister and I who didn't understand your feelings. It's our fault!"

Shinobu wants to become stronger to protect Kanae, and Kanao also wants to become stronger to protect Shinobu and Kanae. Shinobu and Kanae just subconsciously ignore it because of Kanao's submissive look.

"Wow, that's awesome, sisterly love~"

Chloe returned to Ouyang Sun whistling.

"Yeah, only sisters can be so nice. It's a pity that I only have one brother, and he's a scumbag."

Speaking of her younger brother, Hina couldn't help but feel a headache. What could be more troublesome than coming home from a day's work and seeing her younger brother in a state of chaos downstairs?

"Brothers and sisters are pretty good too. Big Brother and Coco are really good together. Coco even drinks Big Brother's drink without a care."

"Chloe, you're not talking about the incident where Coco drank the president's grape juice and then filled it with colored tap water to pass it off as real?"

"Hmm~ Maybe not like Shinobu and Kanao, but it's very special anyway."

"how about you."

Ouyang Falcon looked at Chloe and asked, "Do you miss Illya?"

"Eh?"

Chloe was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand with disgust, "Me and that idiot crying and hugging each other? Big brother, this is too bad taste."

"Besides, the only thing that could make that idiot Illya cry so hard was definitely me stealing her favorite cake and then her eyes filled with tears. Mm, just thinking about it makes me happy."

"Little devil..."

Hina said fearfully.

"Why do I feel like you've become more interested in sisterly matters since you came back from Fuyuki, Chloe?"

"Well, I went to Fuyuki and met some sisters I knew who didn't know me. I was touched a little, that's all."

"Hmm? Heroic Spirit?"

Ouyang Xuan thought that Chloe had only been in the world for a short time, and if she was an acquaintance, she might be the Heroic Spirit in Valhalla. But didn’t Chloe say that she had been staying in the Holy Grail?

"This kind of thing is complicated to explain, but seeing those sisters so kindly returning to Fuyuki for vacation always gives me a sense of unreality."

"So what should they look like?"

In Hina's opinion, the relationship between sisters, whether good or bad, should have a limit.

"Hmm~ Fighting and killing each other for men, from the human world to Valhalla, then to Mesopotamia, and finally to Antarctica?"

Chloe rattled off a bunch of place names.

"What is this all about?"

Hina felt that Chloe was fooling her.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Senior Ou."

Shinobu took Kanao's hand and walked in front of Ouyang Shun.

"It's okay. This sparring is a normal thing. Big Brother won't mind. If there's really something wrong, just let Big Brother scold me. Anyway, Big Brother will definitely not be willing to scold me."

Chloe patted her chest to assure him, and the armor, which was smoother than Kotoko's, made a popping sound when it was slapped.

"No, that's not right. Although that's part of the reason, but..."

Shinobu looked embarrassed to speak, but in the end he squeezed Kanao's hand hard, "Um, Ou-senpai."

"Hasn't she been following you to learn and train? Do you need to explain this in detail? Guiding one person in physical training is guidance, and guiding two people is also guidance."

Ouyang Xuan guessed what Ren wanted to say.

"Thank you very much! Senior Ou!"

Ouyang Jun felt that Kanao had been practicing and training with him all the time, so it didn't matter whether he had this title or not. But for Shinobu, it was not the same. In the past, Kanao could practice with him like an auditor, but if she wanted to formally accept Ouyang Jun's guidance, she should first obtain Ouyang Jun's consent.

Shinobu already knew that Ouyang Jun didn't like the 90-degree bow, so this time he bowed at the standard 45-degree angle. Kanao also bowed with Shinobu, and the two of them kept holding hands. Shinobu wanted to let go, but Kanao caught up and held Shinobu's hand tightly.

Kanao has a strong endurance. If nothing unexpected happens, she should silently accept the arrangements of her two sisters and become an ordinary high school student. Maybe she might even be taken by Coco to be a school idol. A school idol with no personality should be able to gain very high popularity. Anyway, Coco was very excited when talking about this.

But this mentality of making the best of things disappeared last night. Last night, Kanao had a dream, a very real and bloody dream.

Kanae was killed by an evil spirit on the street. He and Shinobu watched helplessly as Kanae was killed. Shinobu took over Kanae's blood-stained butterfly feather and became a completely different person from then on. She changed from a bad-tempered tomboy to a person who looked very gentle like Kanae. She was imitating the dead Kanae, and wanted to use this method to keep even a little trace of Kanae's existence in this world.

Shinobu also died, died at the hands of the same evil spirit as Kanae, and she could only watch her sister die helplessly, just like last time. This time, Kanae couldn't even get back the butterfly feathers, couldn't take back Shinobu's body, Shinobu was completely destroyed by the evil spirit, and the two most important people in her life died in front of her, but she was so weak that she couldn't even avenge them.

When she woke up, Kanao lay on her back on the bed for a long time and couldn't forget it. It seemed like she had spent many years in the dream, but the alarm clock in the real world had only reached four o'clock. Most of the scenes in the dream disappeared from her brain within half a minute. Only the deaths of Kanae and Shinobu were unforgettable and engraved clearly in Kanao's heart.

If you want to become stronger, you must become stronger, and you must become stronger at all costs! I want to protect Sister Kanae! I want to protect Sister Shinobu!

This idea expanded wildly in Kanao's mind. Although there was no external expression, it took root in Kanao until she walked up to Chloe and asked for a competition. The growth rate in battle is faster than simple learning.

"Please, Senior Ou."

These were words Kanao spoke out of her own volition, without flipping a coin.

Not only Ouyang Sun was surprised by Kanao's transformation, but Shinobu was even more shocked. He squeezed Kanao's hand with relief.

"Brother Taoist!"

The cute Bai Honghong stuck her head out of the door, spotted Ouyang Xuan in the backyard, and immediately ran over with her arms open.

"We've been here for a long time, but you haven't come out yet, Brother Taoist. You've kept us waiting for a long time."

"Has the fight lasted that long?"

"Don't listen to Xiaobai's nonsense, Master."

2B also came out, wearing a white apron over her black long skirt, which softened 2B's fierce aura and transformed her from a heroic Valkyrie into a gentle cook.

"Xiaobai and the others were only here two minutes ago. Xiaobai ate all the cake in two or three bites. Then he got bored and ran across the backyard to look for you."

2B's hand grasped the back of Shiro's neck, "If Master hasn't finished his business yet, I'll take Shiro away first."

"No need, the battle on our side is over, let's go out."

"Come on, come on, Taoist brother, I want to eat cakes. I want to eat matcha, strawberry, and blueberry cakes!"

Bai Honghong broke away from 2B's hands in an instant, grabbed Ouyang Jun's arm and ran back into the store.

Today is the celebration party for Kaguya's successful election and becoming the student council president of Shuchiin Academy. According to the rules of Ouyang Falcon's family, it should have been held at home, but today they wanted to change the style and hold it at Riko Riko.

While Chloe and Shinobu were fighting in the backyard, people started arriving one after another. Not only were there all the people, but there were more of them.

"Yukino-chan, look at Riko-Riko's cream cake! It's amazing! The sweetness is very gentle and not at all overpowering. Even Yukino-chan can eat five or six pieces."

"I can not eat."

"And this, this is the high-quality black tea that Kaguya got. It's so sweet after adding sugar. It goes perfectly with the strawberry cake."

"I know, I will eat it. Sister, please don't put it in front of me like you're feeding a child."

Xueno said helplessly.

"Hey, I'm afraid Yukino-chan will feel embarrassed and afraid to eat. If Yukino-chan gets thin from hunger, Mother won't let me off."

"I get enough nutrition every day and I won't become starving or thin."

"Ouyang!"

Yang Nai shouted in surprise, waving at Ouyang Sun as if calling for help: "Ouyang, Xue Nai-chan refuses to eat, please come and persuade her quickly. What if she becomes thin from hunger? She's much thinner than me!"

"Don't talk nonsense in front of your brother! Sister!"
