Fighting you is like being in jail.

boom

-!

"Simmel?!" Frilian's pupils contracted, and she turned around sharply to look behind her.

I'm fine...

He blocked the attack with his holy sword at the last moment. Now the holy sword is stuck in the ground, and he is kneeling on the ground, covered in mud, looking very disheveled.

Azure eyes glared angrily ahead.

"You don't think I didn't hear anything, do you?" Celia looked at Frillian with amusement, then sneered and looked at Leng Chang again.

"Come on, I'll let her go as long as you come here."

"..."

Leng Chang gritted his teeth and walked forward unwillingly, until he stood in front of Celia.

Seria nodded in satisfaction, raised her hand and placed it on Leng Chang's body, laughing excitedly.

"What a nice body!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she grabbed Madoka Kaname and hurled her violently at Frillien.

You're useless now!

"Little round!"

Frillie caught Madoka Kaname as she flew towards him, and at the same time, her eyes flashed with a sharp light as she looked at Celie.

At that moment, Leng Chang also threw a punch at Celie!

"Sinai! Demon King!"

Celia laughed and said, "I knew you weren't being honest."

She caught Leng Chang's fist with one hand, and with the other hand, she raised her index finger and used magic to tap Leng Chang's forehead.

Then nothing happened.

“?” Celia looked at Leng Chang in bewilderment and gave him a knowing look.

"?" Leng Chang revealed a clear, puzzled look in his eyes.

"Oh my god!"

"Oh!

Leng Chang's eyes lit up as he understood everything, and he collapsed to the ground, utterly powerless.

"We've achieved our goal, so we're done playing with you guys."

As she spoke, she led Leng Changfei towards the leap.

"Cold—every—!"

Coming to her senses, Madoka Kaname looked up and shouted, but then realized she was powerless and burrowed into her fist in silence.

Kazuma Sato died, Iori Kitahara died, and finally even Rei was kidnapped.

Everyone was a little confused after that, and a question arose.

Is it really possible to defeat the Demon King?

This is not the Demon King's true form.

Overwhelmed by a sense of defeat, Simmel gritted her teeth, slowly and unsteadily stood up from the ground, and stared blankly into the direction where the figure had long since disappeared.

There have been failures on my journey before.

But... this was the first time he had ever encountered such a crushing defeat.

What should we do?

He frowned deeply, standing on the grassland gazing at the horizon, his fists clenching involuntarily.

The wind on the grassland tousled his short hair and lifted his white cloak; the wind, which was normally warm, brought him a chill at that moment.

It's not just physical coldness, but also emotional coldness.

In the chat group.

Kitahara Iori: Damn it! Why did Kazuma's exit look so cool! And I got nothing! Kyubey, it's all your fault!

Kazuma Sato: Iori, my superhero! Without you, there wouldn't have been those invincible maneuvers that followed. It was truly amazing! A perfect exit! (Scattered flowers.JPG)

Celia: You scared me to death! I almost gave myself away. I thought you understood what I meant.

Leng Chang: I don't understand at all! You didn't tell me beforehand, I was still confused about what was going on.

Homura Akemi: Chewing, chewing, chewing, eating melon seeds.JP

Hiratsuka Shizuka: You guys acted really well, and the plot was great, but why did it feel so awkward?

Goto Ichiri: The thought that this was all a lie... oh my god! Ah!

Bucciarati: I must say, when it comes to being utterly inhuman, we're all evenly matched. (His hand holding the coffee trembled slightly.)

Leng Chang: You won't believe it, but I'm the most normal one. Yay!

Chapter 123 Pain! It hurts so much!

Homura Akemi: Even though that's true, why do you sound so upset saying it like that? You're actually quite proud of it, aren't you?

Leng Chang: Haha! Isn't that obvious? You're the ones living now!

Celia: So what's next? These teammates' continuous deaths might drive Simmel and the others crazy!

Shizuka Heike: Although... if I were to switch to Simmel's perspective, I would really become withdrawn.

Goto Ichiri: Y-yes! There were so many of us at the beginning... but in just a few days, only Madoka is left.

Hiratsuka Shizuka: Ugh! Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle and my heart clench! I'm sorry, Madoka!

Madoka Kaname: Huh? It's alright, I didn't really feel anything. It's all fake anyway.

Homura Akemi: Waaaaah! I can't help but cry when I think about Madoka's current situation!

Kitahara Iori: This is inhuman! Who the hell started this?! It's outrageous!

Kazuma Sato: That son of a bitch! That guy who started this deserves to die!

Leng Chang: Don't you ever think about what you've done?

Homura Akemi: Twitching

Shizuka Heike: He's not human!

Goto Ichiri: You have no heart

Leng Chang: Is it my fault?

Madoka Kaname: Stop arguing, we're all born from the same source, no one can escape it.

Goto Ichiri: What?! Even me?!

Shizuka Hirae: Be confident, you are.

Goto Ichiri: Waaaaaah... Hammerhead snake trembles.JPG

Bucciarati: I have to say... even fighting Diavolo wouldn't result in such deaths, the casualties are too great.

Madoka Kaname: Actually, it's not so bad. After all, we've only known Simmel for a few days, so maybe it's not that heartbreaking. What I feel is the most painful thing is my current situation: my teammates are all dead, and the others chose to surrender to protect themselves.

Kazuma Sato: It hurts even more than when my wife cheats on me, runs away with the money and assets!

Homura Akemi: So, continuing with the previous question, what's the next step?

Celia: I think we need a guiding character, preferably a traitor from the Demon Lord's side.

Bucciarati:

Bucciarati: Although I don't want to admit it, I know it's my turn.

Bucciarati: Although, I really don't want to be involved. Even if I'm a gangster, I still have my own sense of justice.

Celia: Are you coming?

Bucciarati: Leave it to me, I'll take Simmel and the others to the Demon King's castle.

Kitahara Iori: Speaking of which... what about the Demon King's Castle?

Madoka Kaname: Oh right! I completely forgot!

Homura Akemi: Oh ho?

Leng Chang: No... are we supposed to grind our way up a Demon King's City in the next few days? Are we all going to be born with innate Earth and Wood Saint Physique?

Kitahara Iori: Don't look at me, our Earth and Wood Sacred Body is also true.

Kazuma Sato: What?! Why is it the Sacred Body of Earth and Wood?

Celia: Pfft!

Kazuma Sato: Why are you laughing!

Bucciarati: What's going on?

Bucciarati: Oh? Let me see...

Kazuma Sato: Why are you all keeping this from me? I'm so curious how terrible my future must be for you to keep it from me like this! Tell me! Tell me!

Bucciarati: I only watched the beginning... How should I put it? Kazuma, I admire you! *chuckles*

Kazuma Sato: Don't just admire me! Tell me about my future!

Leng Chang: We'll talk about your question later. Right now, it's Demon King Cheng's problem! Is there one ready-made?

Celia: How about the demon race?

Leng Chang: You still have that? Won't we run into a bunch of demons if we go there? That would be such a hassle.

Leng Chang: Celeste! My Superman!

Madoka Kaname: When is Bucciarati coming? Under what guise?

Bucciarati: Someone I know, one of the Four Heavenly Kings. And the only one who opposes the Demon King. Now, let me see how to fill in the details. Oh, right! I was one of the people who helped you in the Demon King's castle back then, so I trust you more. Also, I got crucial information from Leng Chang—it's about interfering with the Demon King's power.

Madoka Kaname: Okay, I've got it.

Celie: What's the final outcome for the Demon King?

Leng Chang: Leave it to me! I'll give them a big surprise! And you, my friend! You just say the Demon King left your body and you don't remember anything. Then we'll see how things go and fight the Demon King together.

Celia: Okay.

Homura Akemi: Looks like you've already planned out Seria's escape route? Reviveed and possessed, then completely unaware of anything. Simmel and the others won't see any problem, as long as we're not exposed, we'll be fine.

Celia: Well, I don't care. We only see each other once every few centuries anyway, so it doesn't matter.

Leng Chang: No matter what, leave a way out, after all, it's your hometown. Otherwise, one day when the cherry blossoms bloom there, you won't be able to go back.

Celia: Why does what you said sound so awkward?

Madoka Kaname: Never mind that for now! I'm leaving, so remember to make the arrangements when I get there!

Leng Chang: Definitely no problem. Now it's your solo show, Xiao Yuan!

Madoka Kaname: Watch me!

Homura Akemi: Madoka, you're so pathetic right now... You weren't like this before! It's all Chang's fault! (Homura bites her handkerchief.JPC)

Leng Chang: It's as if you didn't agree before.

Homura Akemi: I leave the stage quickly, with the least amount of twitching!

A city on the northern border.

But after that battle... everyone's mood wasn't very good.

More than anything, there was concern for Madoka Kaname, who was alone.

What was unsettling was that Madoka Kaname, sitting in her hotel room, would occasionally space out and even wear a silly smile, a situation that seemed anything but good to Simmel.

A feeling of unease welled up inside me; I tried to put myself in their shoes.
