"I'm serious, my dear sister. It's all for the safety of the world."

Shiori sighed. She simply couldn't keep up with her younger sister's thought process, especially in Commander mode, when she was completely different from her sister at home.

Meanwhile, Mo Li was sitting on the deserted rooftop, leisurely enjoying the lunch he had bought from the convenience store.

You know what, this fried noodle-flavored bread actually has a unique taste.

Chapter 46 The Determination of Origami

"How did you manage to do what happened yesterday?"

Just as Mo Li was eating lunch, a voice from behind interrupted her meal.

Turning around, she realized it was Mo Li's new deskmate, Origami Tobiichi.

Mo Li ignored Origami's question and continued eating her bread, gazing at the students resting on the playground below.

Seeing that Mo Li was ignoring her, Origami Tobiichi quickly walked to his side and continued:

"I want to know, what kind of rigorous training did you undergo to be able to fight against spirits without the aid of a display device?"

Mo Li quickly finished the bread in her hand and looked at the origami beside her. The origami was looking at her with expectant eyes, hoping to get the answer she wanted.

"Why should I tell you?"

"Because...because I want to become stronger, because all elves deserve to die!"

Origami seemed to be recalling some unpleasant memory, and the expression on her face changed.

But what does all this have to do with Mo Li? He doesn't care about your past; he only cares about his own interests.

"With your current form, you'll never be able to defeat an elf in your entire life!"

"But you can, as long as you're willing to teach me, I'll do anything you ask!"

Mo Li raised an eyebrow, not expecting Origami to go to such lengths to become stronger.

Licking his lips, Mo Li slammed Origami against the wall, his body moving close behind. Mo Li could even feel Origami's breath.

Origami's expression remained unchanged; her desire for revenge against the elf surpassed everything else. She was willing to pay the price, even her own body, to kill the elf.

Looking into Origami's determined eyes, Mo Li immediately lost interest; physical desire was the least responsive thing to him.

As the Demon King, Mo Li desires a lover who is completely devoted to him, not a tool like origami.

Mo Li doesn't dislike people who are willing to give up everything for revenge, but he wouldn't choose her as a companion.

Mo Li then released his hand and said calmly:

"I am the Demon King, and I came here to seek followers. I have no interest in your so-called past."

"Then let me become your servant, as long as I can kill the spirit!"

"Heh, with your current strength, you're not qualified."

Mo Li scoffed. Before she became an elf, she was indeed no match for Mo Li.

Origami was also somewhat unconvinced. Even in AST, she was among the top performers, so why was she considered unqualified by Mo Li?

As if seeing through Origami's heart, Mo Li slowly opened her arms and said to Origami:

"Now I'm giving you this chance. Attack! If you can hit me, I'll grant your request."

Upon hearing this, Origami prepared to summon the manifestation device and drew her lightsaber to slash at Mo Li.

Seeing the equipment on Origami's body, Mo Li's disdain became even more obvious. He didn't even try to dodge, letting Origami slash at him.

The moment the lightsaber made contact with Mo Li's body, Origami's joyful expression instantly changed. The lightsaber passed right through Mo Li's body as if it had struck thin air.

"This...how is this possible?"

The weapon that was usually invincible seemed useless at this moment. No matter how Origami attacked Mo Li, it was as if she was hitting thin air.

Just as Origami was feeling disheartened, a hand suddenly grabbed her neck and slowly lifted her up.

Origami's eyes widened as she frantically waved her hands in the air; she could actually sense the presence of death.

"See? Your so-called strength is nothing but this piece of junk."

Origami's breathing became rapid. Just as she was about to open her Free Domain, Mo Li exerted a little force on her and she was unable to move.

Mo Li looked at the struggling girl in front of him, without a trace of pity in his eyes.

"Without this equipment, you're just an ordinary high school girl. Talking about killing elves is nothing but wishful thinking!"

Mo Li casually tossed the origami onto the rooftop railing.

Origami gasped for breath in the fresh air, a red mark already left on her neck by Mo Li's scratch.

"Cough cough cough... I, I... will not give up."

"Hmph, wait until you're out of this mess before you talk to me about improving your strength!"

"Hoo~ Hoo~, I will try my best, I will definitely, absolutely make you recognize me."

Mo Li did not respond to the origami challenge, but simply waved her hand lightly and walked towards the classroom.

His enemies are countless gods; how could these dilapidated devices possibly catch Mo Li's eye?

From beginning to end, Mo Li never included the current origami in the list of relatives.

The afternoon classes were about to begin. As Mo Li was preparing to return to the classroom, she found Itsuka Shiori standing hesitantly in front of their homeroom teacher, Okamine Tamae.

"Um, Itsuka-kun, is there something you need?"

"No... um... teacher, your outfit is so cute today!"

"Really? Well, I feel a little shy!"

"Yes, it matches the teacher perfectly. And the teacher's hairstyle, glasses, and..."

Shiori Itsuka kept organizing her thoughts, trying to use the words she could think of to describe her teacher.

But to her surprise, it had the opposite effect, and Okamine Tamae looked at her student with an embarrassed expression.

"Um, Itsuka-kun, may I go now?"

"I'm sorry, teacher, this, that..."

Mo Li witnessed this scene and thought, "Judging from this, she's been led out by Kotori again."

Mo Li, still mindful of his role as a diner, slowly stepped forward and offered to help Shi Zhi out of the predicament:

"Hey, Shiori, what are you doing here? I haven't seen you all afternoon."

"A perfect opportunity, my lady! Let's see if your charm has any effect on the Demon King! Go for it!"

Kotori's urging voice came through Shiori's earpiece; this was a rare opportunity for real combat.

Little did they know that Mo Li had overheard everything they were talking about, leaving him speechless.

I helped you out of a difficult situation, and you want to date me? What kind of logic is that?

"Hey Mo Li, you look really cool in your clothes today!"

"Huh? Are you kidding me? We're both wearing school uniforms, how can you say we're handsome?"

Faced with Mo Li's question, Shi Zhi couldn't answer for a moment, stammering and unable to utter a complete sentence.

This left Kotori speechless on the other side of the screen. Of all things to say, why did you have to bring up clothes?

"There's no other way, Shiori, just follow along with what I'm about to say..."

Shiori nodded, and as she listened to the voice coming through her earphones, her confidence grew stronger.

"Mo Li, actually I've always..."

"I've always liked you. I'm so happy to be in the same class as you. I always stare at your face during class. Not only that, I have feelings for Shiori-san. Can you be my girlfriend? Right!"

Shiori's eyes widened. Everything he said was my words.

For a moment, Shiori's mind went blank. Faced with the sudden confession, Shiori didn't know how to react.

Mo Li, seeing Shi Zhi's embarrassed state, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hahaha, sorry, sorry, Shiori-san, here's a suggestion: next time you want to confess your feelings to someone, you should organize your thoughts before you speak!"

Chapter 47 feels a bit like deceiving an innocent young girl.

Shiori had been standing there in a daze for a long time, completely unaware that Mo Li had already left.

"Big sister, big sister, wake up!"

"Ah, Kotori, I... what is this...?"

"How did it turn out that you got seduced by that guy? Damn it, the Demon King is really hard to deal with!"

Shiori, her face flushed, quickly shook her head, trying to banish the images from her mind.

Just as Shiori was about to return to the classroom, the spacequake alarm suddenly went off.

"Waaaaah, a precursor to a spacequake has just been detected in this area. This is not a drill. Residents are requested to immediately evacuate to shelters. This is a repeat announcement: A spacequake precursor has just been detected in this area..."

Hearing the alarm in her ears, Kotori also tethered her soldiers to the Fraxinus airship.

"As expected, it's an elf again?"

"Yes, it's the Princess. The predicted location is right here, at Zen High School!"

At the same time, Origami Tobiichi also arrived at the AST underground base. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar display device in front of her, Origami couldn't help but recall what Mo Li had once said to her.

"Does he see this as just scrap metal?"

"Yuan Yi, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and get your gear ready, let's go!"

"Ah, yes, Captain!"

Out of hatred for the spirits, Origami quickly switched to a display device, connected it to a power source, and waited for the spacequake and the order to set off at any time.

Ryoko Kusakabe immediately noticed the red mark on Origami's neck and quickly asked:

"Hey, Tobiichi, what's that mark on your neck?"

"These are marks left from training, Captain. They won't hinder this operation."

As someone who's been through it all, Ryoko knows perfectly well that Origami is lying. Although she really wants to find out what happened, the most important thing right now is to deal with the spirits.

At school, Mo Li also received a message from Kotori that Tohka would be appearing in the world at Raizen High School.

At this moment, the homeroom teacher, Okamine Tamae, noticed that only Mo Li hadn't gone to the shelter yet, and quickly said:

"Mo Li, a spacequake is about to occur. Quickly go to the underground shelter for refuge."

"Teacher, you can go and take refuge. I'll take good care of myself!"

"Hey hey hey? No, Mo Li... where did she go?"

Seeing Mo Li disappear, Okamine Tamae didn't have time to think and hurriedly headed towards the shelter.

Honestly, are people in this world really that indifferent? A student disappears, and they don't even bother to look for him.

Mo Li, who was in the Divine Might Space, was speechless. Perhaps this homeroom teacher had long been used to the students suddenly disappearing.

The massive explosion instantly engulfed the classroom where Mo Li was. Perhaps due to the frequent occurrence of spatial quakes, the school building did not collapse despite the enormous explosion.

Tohka suddenly appeared in the classroom. Looking at the scene around her that had been destroyed by the spatial tremor, Tohka once again showed that sad look.

On Fraxinus, Kotori was searching for Mo Li's whereabouts, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find him.

Even the hiding places of the AST members were discovered, but Mo Li's hiding place could not be found.

"Alright, my dear sister, it's time for you to make your appearance."

"But even if Mo Li doesn't show up, there are still AST people watching her outside!"

"It's alright. CRUnit (CompactRealize) isn't designed for indoor combat. Luckily, the princess is inside the school building, so the AST can't just break in."

"Even so... what if Mo Li suddenly appears?"

"Then let's see how well your training goes, big sister. Use your charm to win him over."

Kotori's nonchalant attitude made Shiori's stomach churn. Recalling the scene of being won over by Mo Li just now, Shiori found it hard to be sure that she could defeat Mo Li.

"Commander, the situation has changed! The Demon King has appeared!"

"What? Didn't we just scan the school buildings? How did he end up there?"

Kotori quickly looked at the big screen and saw Mo Li smiling as she appeared in the classroom. She even glanced at the camera, as if to tell them, "I've found you."
