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

"Mo Li, step aside. The reason you know the truth but didn't tell me is because of Kotori Itsuka?"

"Well, although the two are not related, I can tell you that it was not Kotori who killed your parents."

"Impossible! I remember it clearly, the Flame Demon, there's no mistake!"

"I'm so sorry, you've really come to the wrong person, so please leave now."

Mo Li explained with a smile, but Origami was convinced that Kotori had killed her parents, so how could she leave just because of Mo Li's few words?

Origami was clearly not going to give up, and she aimed her cannon directly at Mo Li, intending to shoot them both dead.

Mo Li shook his head upon seeing this. He was tired of hearing him say that so many times.

"Origami, I've told you before, even a new model is no different from scrap metal in my eyes."

"Whether we can win or not, we'll only know after we try!"

After saying that, two cannonballs were fired directly in Mo Li's direction.

It's just like a child throwing a tantrum; even though I've hit him so many times, I'm still living in a fantasy.

Mo Li turned his back directly, picked up Qin Li and walked to the side. Before the shell could hit him, it automatically disintegrated and exploded in mid-air.

"Hey, Shiori, could you please stall Origami for a bit? I'm taking Kotori to get her wound treated."

"I understand. Leave this to me."

Mo Li nodded to Shiori. Since Origami couldn't possibly hurt Shiori, there wasn't much to worry about.

He put Kotori down on the ground and gently patted her face. Kotori slowly opened her eyes.

"here it is……"

"This is the first time I've ever seen an elf faint from fright, Kotori. You've given me just as many surprises as you've ever given me!"

"Urusai, you could have stopped all of this from happening a long time ago, Shiori, where were you?"

"She's stalling for time ahead, so she's leaving you in my care for now."

Mo Li said with a smile, but Kotori clearly didn't believe him and looked at Mo Li with a slightly suspicious look, asking:

"Why aren't you stalling for time? Your sister is right here!"

"Well, who knows? Maybe Shiori is just protective of her sister."

"You damned demon king, you did this on purpose, you just wanted to take this opportunity to complete the contract, didn't you?"

"Bingo, you guessed right. Make your choice: become my familiar, or let Shiori watch you get killed by Origami?"

It seems like there are two choices, but no matter how you look at it, there's only one.

Kotori glanced at Mo Li, who was smiling, and simply closed her eyes, knowing she couldn't escape it sooner or later anyway.

Seeing this, Mo Li understood Kotori's meaning. He smiled slightly, and a red six-pointed star contract array appeared beneath Kotori. Mo Li's fifth familiar had returned to its place!

Chapter 114: A Perfect Resolve, Compensation for the Phoenix's Tears

"I don't have time to talk to you anymore. Move aside, Shiori!"

"Origami, listen to me, Kotori didn't kill anyone. There was a spirit present who caused Kotori such harm!"

"What did you say? You want me to believe what you're saying now?"

Origami knew she didn't have much time left, but she couldn't bring herself to kill Shiori.

To Origami, such words were nothing more than an excuse.

"I want to believe, but I can't believe!"

"Please, I don't want Kotori to get hurt, and I don't want you to get hurt either. Stop, Origami."

"Are you telling me to stop and let the people who killed my parents go?"

"If you still don't believe me now, then let me die in my sister's place!"

Shiori spoke those words with a determined look in her eyes, and because of that, Origami could no longer take another step forward.

Looking at Shiori's determined expression, Origami first shook her head, then took a few steps back.

Then he roared as if he had made a decision, and charged forward.

"She's really not cute. Can't she just stay still for a while?"

Shiori felt the heat on her forehead and slowly opened her eyes. She saw Mo Li holding the Blade of Rebellion in front of her and even turning around to smile at her.

I've reached my limit with origami. If I continue using it, I might spend the rest of my life in the hospital.

Mo Li noticed this and turned around to deliver a slash, splitting the white spider lily that was supporting Origami in two, causing Origami to fall down.

After being freed from her restraints, Origami lay on the ground, panting heavily. She tried with all her might to draw the pistol from her waist, but was unexpectedly kicked away by Mo Li who walked up to her.

"The truth is right in front of you, why won't you believe it?"

"Itsuka... Kotori, how can you expect me to believe that she isn't the one who killed my parents?"

"Well, it seems this is the only way. Origami, look into my eyes."

Origami slowly raised her head, and what came into view was Mo Li's blood-red Mangekyou Sharingan.

Tsukuyomi activated, and Origami fell into a deep sleep.

Mo Li stood up. In her current state, Origami couldn't hear anything. Only after she calmed down could he continue talking to her. He should be able to notice something was wrong.

Anyway, AST would collect the origami soon, so Mo Li stopped paying attention to her.

Turning around, I saw Shiori holding Kotori's shoulder, carefully checking her for any injuries.

Unable to bear Shiori's state, Kotori immediately delivered a powerful blow of love to Shiori with her iron fist.

"Silly sister, what are you doing?"

"Ah, Kotori, I'm so glad you're alright. Thank you, Moli-kun!"

"Why are you thanking him? He's just a perverted demon king who secretly made a contract with a cute little sister when you weren't looking!"

Hearing Kotori's evaluation of Moli, Shiori smiled and scratched her head, somewhat puzzled. What was wrong with that?

Shiori always felt that having Moli around was much more useful than sealing Kotori herself.

"Mo Li, has the matter been resolved? What about Origami...?"

"Don't worry, she's just fainted. She'll wake up soon."

"Great, what an exciting day! Ah, my back is killing me."

After everything was resolved satisfactorily, Shiori felt a wave of exhaustion wash over her, and her whole body ached.

Seeing this, Mo Li frowned. Without the spiritual power in the koto, Shiori was just an ordinary person.

If they encounter danger in the future, Mo Li cannot guarantee that they will be safe as before.

“Shiori, come stand in front of me.”

"What's wrong? Is there a problem, Mo Li?"

Although Shiori found it a bit strange, she still obediently stood in front of Mo Li.

Mo Li conjured a blue drop of water out of thin air, gave it a strong shake, and the drop of water merged directly into Shi Zhi's body.

Shiori quickly touched the area that had been invaded, but found nothing there.

"Hey, what? Mo Li, what is this...?"

"I have incorporated the Phoenix Tear into your body. Even if you are blown to pieces by a missile, you can be restored to your original state. This is my compensation to Kotori from the contract."

"Really? That sounds amazing!"

"Use it sparingly, I only have this one drop. Although for humans, the effect is enough to revive you dozens of times, once the effect wears off, you will still die."

Mo Li said solemnly that Shi Zhi was one of the chefs she had booked for the Demon King's Castle.

Shiori also vouched for it, saying, "Besides, who would be so bored as to go to such a dangerous place to die?"

Kotori glanced at Mo Li with gratitude, surprised that he had even thought of such a thing.

Just then, Tohka, Nia, and Yoshino arrived late.

The moment the three saw Kotori, they sensed a familiar aura; she also seemed to possess the Demon King's presence.

Erya was the first to react, giving Mo Li a strange look before saying:

"You're quick on your feet, young man. As the saying goes, even a rabbit won't eat the grass near its burrow."

"Hey, what do you mean, Niya!"

"Kotori-neechan, welcome to our team."

Yoshino was the first to welcome Kotori, while Nia just pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.

Only Tohka looked completely clueless, and seeing that she was the only one who didn't know, she immediately pouted unhappily.

"What's going on? Everyone's here guessing riddles, what do they even mean?"

"That means Kotori will be training with you guys from now on."

Mo Li explained briefly, and Tohka jumped up immediately. Even now, she still didn't understand that Kotori was already a familiar, only that she would have more people with her in the future.

Kotori's eyes still held a trace of worry. Although she smiled and agreed, that sorrowful look could not be erased.

Mo Li immediately saw through Qin Li's worries and said to her:

"You will remain the commander of Ratatosk, and you don't need to worry about what that old man Woodman will do to you. Just do your job well."

"Hey, do you know Chief Woodman? When?"

"Hmph, have you forgotten that the omniscient angel's whispered pronouncements are not surprising?

After thinking about it carefully, Kotori wasn't so surprised by the search capabilities of the Whispering Scripture.

Upon hearing that Mo Li allowed her to continue her job, she happily jumped into Mo Li's arms.

Isn't this what she's always been worried about? The reluctance to leave Ratatosk, the reluctance to leave her colleagues with whom she's spent so much time, and the desire to save the elves…

"Don't be too happy yet. When I need you, don't hold back."

"Okay, I understand. Now I'm a witch too!"

The mention of witches reminded Mo Li of Kurumi Tokisaki, as she seemed to have a promise with her.

The Tanabata Festival is just around the corner, let's invite Kurumi to go out and have some fun then.

I'll also tell her about Takamiya Mana, even though Mo Li feels that Kurumi doesn't take her seriously.

As for DEM, Mo Li doesn't think they'll give up so easily. After Mana Takamiya disappeared, they'll definitely take some action, since Mana is also an important source of material for them.

Allen's injury must be almost fully healed by now.

Chapter 115 The Promise with Kurumi, Tanabata Festival

"Although we did have an agreement, there's no need to call me over while I'm eating."

"Oh dear, is Mo Lijun the kind of person who forgets his old love once he has a new one? This is so heartbreaking."

"Then please don't say it with a smile when you're sad, okay, Kurumi!"

Mo Li yawned. One second he was sitting at the dining table enjoying his rare breakfast, and the next second he was pulled into Kurumi's shadow.

If he hadn't known the person was Kurumi, he would have broken free long ago.

"As expected, with such a lovely familiar as Kotori Itsuka, who would care about the feelings of other spirits?"

"So, you called me here today just for this?"

"Of course not, Mo Lijun should still remember our date, right?"

"I remember, but next time you need to see me, can you knock first? Don't just barge in like that."

Mo Li finally understood Qin Li's situation back then. It was indeed very annoying when someone could break into your house at any time.

Kurumi smiled and nodded, then grabbed Mo Li's right arm and wouldn't let go.

The two arrived at the commercial street. Although it was still quite early, most of the shops were already open because it was Qixi Festival, making it particularly lively.

"You're hugging me too tight, Kurumi!"

"It's okay, because we're on a date right now. Right now, only right now, Mo Li belongs to me. Or do you not want to hold hands with her?"

"I know, I know, whatever you say goes, let's go!"
