Crossover Anime: Offering Myself as a Sacrifice to the Sword? I Choose to Be the Great Demon King

"What nonsense are you talking about? Shiori has been an adopted daughter of the Itsuka family for a long time. I'm her adopted sister!"

"I see, so that's the kind of relationship they have."

Mana clapped her hands, looking as if she had just realized something, her eyes filled with even greater joy.

Kotori's words also confirm that Itsuka Shiori is indeed her older sister, and her long-cherished wish has finally come true.

Shiori smiled awkwardly from the side, raised her hand, and asked:

"Um, Zhen, can I ask you a question?"

"Yes, what's the problem, sister?"

"I'm sorry, I don't remember you, and I have no recollection of you!"

"That's not surprising, actually I don't have any memories of the past either!"

Mana's words shocked everyone: "How did you recognize Shiori if you have no memory of her?"

Mo Li sensed something was wrong from her words. The girl in front of him might be in the same situation as Nia, whose body had been modified by DEM, which was why she had lost her memory.

If that's the case, does that mean she also has—no, there's absolutely no spiritual energy fluctuation within her body—she's definitely human.

"Huh? What did you say? How long ago exactly?"

"I still remember things from the last two or three years, but before that..."

"Time has stopped three years ago," Mo Li and Er Ya exchanged a glance, clearly having both noticed something amiss.

However, now is not the time. Mo Li gave Er Ya a look, indicating that they would talk about it when they got back.

"Then, about Mother's matter..."

"Then how did you know that Shiori is your older sister?"

Upon hearing Kotori's words, Mana took out a necklace from her jacket pocket. When she opened it, she found a childhood photo of Mana and another person who looked remarkably like Shiori now.

Kotori, upon seeing this, stubbornly retorted:

"They just look a bit alike!"

"No, my sister is my sister. Although my memory is hazy, I remember that I don't know where my sister went. Although I feel lonely, I am more worried about my sister."

Mana put the necklace away, slowly stood up, and looked at Shiori with deep affection, saying:

"So, to be able to see my healthy sister like this, I..."

As they were talking, Mana threw herself into Shiori's arms, rubbing her breasts against Shiori's chest.

Mo Li immediately noticed the lens at the back of Mana's head. It was different from the display device in Nia's head, but it was clear that it was the work of DEM.

This made Mo Li even more convinced that Mana had something that DEM valued, which was why she had been implanted with fake memories.

Everything makes sense now, but we still need to confirm with Kurumi.

After all, Kurumi had spent a lot of time dealing with Mana, and she killed so many of her clones, so she must know something. Otherwise, with Zafkiel's abilities alone, she could have either defeated him or run away.

Kotori suddenly stepped forward, interrupting the scene of the two recognizing each other, and immediately said:

"Shiori is a member of my family. I will not agree to take her away now!"

"I didn't plan to do that. As long as my sister can live a happy life, I'll be content."

Chapter 90 The Strangeness in the Qin, the Truth

Kotori Mana had no intention of taking Shiori away, and her voice gradually softened. She sat down in a chair, turned her head, and stubbornly said:

"W-what? You seem to know quite a bit!"

"Of course, although she still can't compare to my own sister."

Mana's words ignited Kotori's anger, and the commander's aura immediately took over.

Shiori, sweating profusely, tried to smooth things over, but Kotori quickly covered her mouth. Helpless, she could only look to Mo Li for help, hoping he could dissuade the two.

Mo Li spread his hands, the meaning was obvious: I can't help you, you should solve it yourself.

"Is that so? So that's what you think!"

"Of course, nothing is closer than blood ties."

"But isn't there a saying that a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative?"

"No, no, my sworn sister is ultimately an outsider, but in that respect, my biological sister is related by blood!"

Mana's words dealt Kotori a devastating blow. No matter how you try to justify it, the issue of blood ties will never change.

What was originally a family reunion event has turned into a battle for the sister's dominance, which Mo Li finds quite amusing.

The three elves sitting next to Mo Li also had their eyes shining, they were just short of grabbing a bag of potato chips and watching the show.

Kotori, suppressing her irritation, put her hands on her hips and raised her voice:

"Why are you emphasizing this on purpose? Don't you have anything else to say besides blood ties? You know I've been Shiori's sister for over ten years!"

"What a joke! Time is useless in the face of true sibling bonds!"

"What does blood relation matter? I spend more time with my sister now."

"Hmph, Kotori will get married sooner or later, and then my sister will be mine alone."

Mana's words made Kotori blush. She glanced furtively at Mo Li sitting on the sofa, then slammed her cup down on the table and shouted:

"Anyway, I'm the younger sister now!"

Feeling Kotori's gaze, Mo Li was momentarily taken aback, wondering what that look meant.

Niya also witnessed this scene and quietly poked Moli's chest, her intention very clear: When did you manage to hook up with Kotori?

I'm so incredibly wronged. I'd be grateful if Kotori didn't want to kill me at any moment. I wouldn't even think about anything else.

While Mo Li was racking her brains trying to figure out why Kotori did this, Shiori, on the other side, was also caught in a dilemma.

She was torn between her biological sister and her adopted sister of ten years.

To change the subject, Shiori specifically asked:

"Right, Mana, where are you staying now? If someone is taking care of you, I might need to meet them."

"Well, a little... how should I put it?"

"Is it a place you can't tell anyone about?"

Under Kotori's persistent questioning, Mana seemed a little flustered. After all, some secrets are not suitable to be revealed to ordinary people, let alone potentially endanger her own sister.

Mana gradually retreated, cold sweat streaming down her face. She involuntarily tapped two fingers together and said:

"Well, it's a special kind of dormitory-style work unit!"

"Wouldn't it be better to just say AST? They already know that!"

"Ugh, shut up! You're so nosy!"

Mo Li directly pointed out Mana's location, since Shiori wasn't unfamiliar with AST.

Mana shouted loudly, not wanting to involve Shiori in the war of the elves, unaware that Shiori had long been a member of Ratatosk.

"Hey, are you a member of AST like Iori?"

"My sister knows Origami's identity. Honestly, I told her not to tell anyone else."

"So, Mana, you're going to fight the spirits too? Can't you just get along with them? Tohka and Nia are both easy to talk to."

"I'm sorry, sister, this isn't something I can decide, and..."

Mana solemnly turned around to face Mo Li, glanced at Tohka and the others behind him, and said:

"I will not give up the hunt for Nightmare, and I hope you will not stop me when the time comes."

Can I take this as a threat?

The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere instantly became awkward. The two looked at each other, neither willing to back down.

Kotori clenched her fists nervously. If the two of them started fighting here, they wouldn't have anywhere to sleep tonight.

But then, Mo Li stopped looking at Zhenna, crossed his legs, and said with a hint of provocation:

"What I do is none of your business. You should worry about yourself instead."

"Then we're enemies. Next time we meet, I won't be careless."

"Heh, if you think you lost to me because you were careless, then next time you won't just faint."

Mo Li only released a little bit of killing intent, and Zhen Na felt cold all over, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Although the others in the room didn't feel it as directly as Zhenna, they also sensed a chill.

To Zhenna, Mo Li's smile was like that of a demon.

Mo Li quickly withdrew it, and Zhen Na glanced at Mo Li with fear before turning and leaving.

After Mana left, Kotori smiled and came to Mo Li's side, patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Not bad, huh? What kind of younger sister is she? She was scared away."

"Alright, it's getting late, let's head back now. We can talk about it tomorrow at school."

"Wait, about Kurumi, Mo Li..."

"Don't worry, just do what you need to do. I'll say it again, I won't interfere with your date."

Mo Li didn't turn around, he just waved his hand behind him, but given this previous experience, who would really believe that he wouldn't take action? Kotori just hoped that he wouldn't cause trouble during their date.

Upon returning to the elf's apartment, Mo Li immediately summoned the Whisper Chapter 657 and began examining the contents related to Takamiya Mana.

The more they learned about each other, the more obvious Mo Li's smile became.

"Interesting, this really does seem like something DEM would do."

"What, what? Let me see... Wow, this child is so pitiful, so young..."

"No wonder Kurumi went easy on me, just as I thought."

Burdened with a tremendous mission, Kurumi Tokisaki, as a spirit who manipulates time, could hardly fail to see that Mana's remaining time was running out.

I never expected Kurumi to have this side to her.

Mo Li also looked up information about Mana, but unfortunately, a large part of it was unclear. Mo Li guessed that it might be related to the starter Pokémon.

However, in a sense, Shiori is indeed Mana's older sister.

"Interesting. If she knew that Kurumi had been protecting her all along, would she feel guilty and commit suicide?"

"Mo Li, you have such a twisted sense of humor! What a pitiful child!"

"I am the Demon King, what do I care about the lives of others?"

Mo Li snorted coldly. She may be pitiful, but what does it have to do with me? She's not my sister.

However, since Kurumi didn't reveal the truth, Mo Li respected her choice and wouldn't tell anyone.

Mo Li is quite interested in what will happen next. Shiori, how will you deal with Kurumi who wants to devour you?

Chapter 91 Shiori's Invitation, Why Do I Have to Go Too?

The next day at school, Shi QQ group 85 still sent a date invitation to Kurumi.

Perhaps it was because she didn't want to see the elves die tragically again, or perhaps it was Shiori's kindness that was at play; in any case, things went back to the way they were before.

Mo Li continued to remain on the sidelines, but this time, Shi Zhi took the initiative to come to her door.

"What did you say? You want me to go on a date with Tobiichi that day?"

"Okay, I'm counting on you, Mo Li!"

"Wait, wait, why would I go on a date with her? You know Tohka's personality, don't you?"

Mo Li's voice rose eight octaves, wondering how he had ended up getting himself into this mess.

Shiori scratched her head awkwardly. She was also a little embarrassed, but it was the only way she could do it. Besides, Kirei had agreed to the plan, so she had no choice but to come to him.

It turns out that this morning, when Shiori was preparing to go on a date with Kurumi, she happened to run into Origami.

Although Origami didn't hear the whole story clearly, knowing how dangerous Kurumi was, how could she allow Shiori and Kurumi to go out alone?

So, Origami also extended an invitation to Shiori to go on a date with her on the day of the school anniversary holiday.

Caught in a dilemma, Shiori told Kotori about it, but Kotori immediately told Shiori to cancel her date with Origami. The kind-hearted Shiori was not about to agree.
