Is this okay?

The tsurugi in his hand was filled with fear upon seeing this situation. From the beginning, the tsurugi understood Gai's choice in the face of this situation.

There's no way Gai Tsutsugami could stay and save himself; there's only one answer: he has to abandon himself and run away.

Just as Tsugumi had expected, Gai Tsutsugami glanced at Kaneki, his expression hardening, and he had already made up his mind.

Although Tsurugi is an indispensable talent at the funeral home, there's no time to think about it now given the current situation.

Staying there for even a second increases the danger.

In the blink of an eye, Gai Tsutsugami fled backward at top speed.

He chose to retreat!

He even used the abilities granted by the Void Greatsword, performing an endless series of aerial jumps!

This situation filled Kaneki with disappointment, and at the same time, the tsurugi in her hand showed a look of despair, heartbroken.

"What a disappointment, Gai Tsutsugami."

Suddenly, Ouma Shu's voice rang out, and the next second he rushed forward with lightning speed!

Chapter 414 Having fun but not sharing it

boom!

With a loud thud as his foot shattered the ground, Shu Ouma charged forward like a bullet.

His face was expressionless. He was disappointed with Gai Tsutsugami's choice. Although there was nothing wrong with the choice, he felt an unprecedented sense of disappointment.

This is not his fault, because that's all the strength he has.

However, Shu Ouma was still disappointed.

He knew about Gai Tsutsugami's helplessness and understood his choice, but he was still disappointed.

"Ya, there's no escaping you now!"

In an instant, Ouma Shu reached out and grabbed Tsutsugami Gai's ankle, slamming him from the sky to the ground.

boom--!

The immense force caught Gai Tsutsugami completely off guard, causing him to crash to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust and creating a tremor.

Lying on the ground, Gai Tsutsugami felt pain and involuntarily opened his mouth.

The next second, just as he was about to stand up, a Nichirin Blade appeared and was pressed against his neck.

"set……"

At that moment, he saw clearly what was in front of him: Shu Ouma pointing his Nichirin Blade at him.

"Ya, I'm very disappointed in you. Although I know that your choice was not wrong, and there was no other way, I just can't shake the disappointment in my heart. It's not your fault, nor anyone else's fault, but a tragedy brought about by your own lack of strength."

Shu Ouma's voice was ruthless, filled with a sense of helpless disappointment.

"Then what else do you want me to do?"

Sitting on the ground, Gai Tsutsugami knew he was out of options and could only look at Shu Ouma with a helpless expression.

"Give up everything, and you don't have to do anything anymore. I will save the world in my own way, and you just need to wait."

Without any pause, Shu Ouma spoke coldly and ruthlessly to Gai Tsutsugami, leaving no room for refusal.

But Gai Tsutsugami was unwilling to give up. He refused, saying, "Impossible! If I stop, what will happen to the people who support me behind the scenes?!"

"Don't worry, I'll leave everyone speechless," Shu Ouma replied coldly.

"What?" Gai Tsutsugami was surprised to hear this, unable to understand what it meant for others to be speechless.

Just then, Ouma Shu slowly raised his Nichirin Blade, the tip pointing to the sky. Moonlight shone on the blade, making it gleam with a cold white light.

"Ji!? What are you doing?!"

Upon seeing this, Gai Tsutsugami cried out in alarm, his face filled with astonishment.

He seemed to understand what Ouma Shu was going to do, and his heart was filled with fear.

However, Ouma Shu did not respond, only giving him a cold look.

"Shu!! What are you trying to do?! Don't do it!! I don't want you to become like that either—!!"

Gai Tsutsugami was truly panicked, staring in horror at Shu Ouma ahead.

This time, Ouma Shu answered, but his voice was unusually cold and firm.

"You don't need to try anymore, Ya."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shu Ouma's Nichirin Blade slashed down with lightning speed.

Pfft——!

In the blink of an eye, blood spurted from Gai Tsutsugami's shoulder. He stared wide-eyed in disbelief, followed by a scream of agony.

"Aa ...

Accompanying the screams was an arm that soared into the air—the arm that bore the power of the king.

Seeing this, Leng Mo couldn't help but reveal a subtle expression, as if something delightful was about to happen.

At this moment, Gai Tsutsugami cried out in pain.

"Ahhhhhh—! Bokuro... Mudega—!! Bokuro—Orochikaraga—!!!"

Gai Tsutsugami clutched his wound and cried out in anguish and despair.

"..."

"..."

However, the people around were all surprised to see this, and even the expressionless Shu Ouma's lips twitched, almost losing his pearl.

Did you read some script?

Why does that line sound so familiar?

Is this the king's curse?

Leng Mo stared speechlessly at the screaming Tsutsugami Gai, his expression filled with a subtle tension, even a sense that Tsutsugami Gai might have received the wrong script.

Kaneki, who was standing to the side, was also a little embarrassed by what he saw, but it was okay, he held back.

After all, it would be too hurtful to make complaints in such a serious setting.

Shu Ouma managed to suppress his inner turmoil and forced a blank expression as he looked at Gai Tsutsugami: "That way you don't have to continue."

At this moment, having lost the control of the King's Power, the Void Greatsword slowly returned to Yuzuriha Inori's body.

Yuzuriha Inori, who was unconscious, slowly opened her eyes at this moment. In her dazed state, she smelled the blood and then saw Gai Tsutsugami in front of her.

"Ya—!"

Upon discovering Gai's injuries, she immediately cried out in alarm, looking at him with concern, and quickly tore off a corner of her skirt to bandage him.

Ouma Shu, who was standing nearby, did not stop them and waited in place.

After the bandage was finished, he said coldly, "Yuzuriha Inori, come over here."

"No!" Yuzuriha Inori refused immediately upon hearing this, even looking wary.

Although she didn't know what had happened, the situation before her was clearly the work of Shu Ouma, so she refused.

“You have no choice. If you don’t come, I will kill Gai Tsutsugami.”

Shu Ouma didn't care about Inori Yuzuriha's attitude at all, and instead gave her a cold command.

He had come to realize that even if Yuzuriha Inori would hate him in the future, it would still be much better than the original future, at least he would still be alive.

This is his choice!

The overlord's choice left no room for refusal!

"Choose: come to my side, or watch me kill Gai Tsutsugami and then forcibly take him away?"

Shu Ouma's voice was icy cold, as if devoid of any emotion, as if he had just eaten a piece of bread and was completely indifferent.

He gave Yuzuriha Inori no choice; the outcome was already predetermined.

Seeing this, Leng Mo couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, as if he were watching an immature person become more mature and stronger because of him.

My sense of pride and accomplishment soared.

Although something is amiss, it's okay!

The sense of accomplishment from going from a protagonist to a villain is unparalleled!

We should be proud when we should be!

Kaneki's expression turned subtle as he thought back to Shu Ouma, the gentle Shu Ouma. What exactly happened to make him become like this?

There must be some misunderstanding here!

It must be Amo's fault!

At this moment, Yuzuriha Inori stared blankly at the merciless Ouma Shu. She wanted to refuse, she wanted to stay by Tsutsugami Gai's side, but there was no way there could be any problems now.

At this moment, Gai Tsutsugami sighed helplessly: "Inori, you should go with him. He will take good care of you."

In an instant, Yuzuriha Inori turned around and looked at Gai Tsutsugami with wide eyes. She felt a sense of disappointment when she heard Gai Tsutsugami's words.

Yes, it was disappointment.

Even if Gai Tsutsugami had said "Don't go," she wouldn't have felt this way.

However, he didn't say anything; instead, he told me to go over there.

"..."

For some reason, Yuzuriha Inori felt wronged, as if the world had abandoned her at that moment.

Does he not leave any trace in Gai Tsutsugami's heart at all?

Can't you even say "don't go"?

This situation left Leng Mo and Jin Mu completely bewildered. They had tried to understand the girl's thoughts, but now Tsutsugami Gai was so ruthless in letting Yuzuriha Inori leave. Although it was not wrong, although there was no problem, human emotions are not so heartless and perfectly correct.

For a moment, their expressions became subtle.

They even discovered some truth.

No wonder this guy is still single; he's definitely a straight man.

It turned out to be the case.

Leng Mo seemed to have discovered the truth, and a comical smile appeared on his face. Jin Mu looked over curiously, wanting to know what Leng Mo was laughing at, but Leng Mo looked like he wouldn't tell him, which made Jin Mu extremely angry.

You're such a jerk for not sharing your fun!

At this moment, Yuzuriha Inori slowly stood up from Gai Tsutsugami's arms and walked towards Shu Ouma, looking somewhat lost.

Her face was filled with sorrow and disappointment, which made Shu Ouma feel somewhat sad.

Shu Ouma sighed and glanced at Gai Tsutsugami, who was sitting on the ground with his head down and not saying a word, his eyes full of disappointment.

Being overly rational can disappoint those around you.

Excessive sentimentality can lead to misery for those around you.

Ya, I hope you will understand this principle someday in the future.

They don't expect you to turn everything around; they expect you to say something impossible at some point.

Just like now, Yuzuriha Inori only needs you to say "Don't go," and Tsugumi only needs you to say "Don't give up"...

Even if it's impossible, such an answer can still touch their hearts.

When Yuzuriha Inori arrived at Ouma Shu's side, he reached out and picked her up, then said to Tsutsugami Gai with a blank expression:

"I don't want to see you blocking my way a second time, Gai Tsutsugami."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shu Ouma turned to Leng Mo and Kaneki and said in a dashing tone, "Let's go!"

A glint of light flashed in his eyes, filled with the aura of a tyrant.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shu Ouma, holding Inori Yuzuriha, leaped into the air.

"Wash your socks!"

"Screw it!"
