I don't want to be a heroic spirit

Chapter 95 A magician’s method

Just as Okita Souji said, this is not the first time that Kuroyuki Ikki has eaten this silver apple. He would eat it every day during the inhumane training.

But even so, he was still surprised by the ability of this silver apple.

The whole person suddenly became energetic, even more exaggerated than taking medicine.

"I also checked the food they prepared for you on the way here."

Looking at Kurogete Ikki, who looked much better, Souji Okita suddenly said: "There are things in it that make people weak, and can also reduce people's immunity. Even swordsmen will be infected. , but the process of taking effect is very slow. I heard that Teacher Oreki Yuri will bring your opponent during this period so that you can continue the game, right?"

"That's right."

"So, their purpose is to make you lose the competition and lose the opportunity to participate in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival as a representative?"

"……I have no idea."

Kurogane Ikki lowered his head, his expression a little gloomy.

After a while, he looked up at Okita Souji, "Souji, how did you get here?"

"Really, I thought you would ask some interesting questions, but it turned out to be this?"

"Because I really care. This is the alliance branch, and it's four floors underground."

"Don't make a fuss. I've sneaked into places that are more formidable than here. Okay, let's move on to the second question."

A place even more strict than the alliance branch...

It can't be the alliance headquarters, right?

In fact, it is not difficult for Souji Okita to sneak into this place.

With the B-level aura blocking and the necessary spirit transformation for a servant, she can join the huge alliance branch as easily as returning to her own home.

"Soji...who are you?"

"Who is..."

Captain Hyperion? The last master of mankind? Guardian of the Kingdom of Canterbury? A traveler from Teyvat?

"Of course I'm just a first-year freshman at Pojun Academy." Souji Okita smiled and said, "But in the past, I was called the 'Genius Swordsman', the 'Misei Wolf', and the 'Human Slayer'. ', 'Princess of the Human Killing Group' and so on."

Obviously most of them were titles that sounded dangerous, but Souji Okita said them in an indifferent tone, which made Ikki Kurogane sound inexplicably...it seemed like nothing?

Because he has been with Okita Souji for a long time and has a good understanding of Okita Souji, so even after hearing Okita Souji say this, his feelings towards Okita Souji will not change so simply.

What if I knew your past? I already know you well now, and I am also looking forward to the future with you.

Now, how should I put it... I feel that the distance between myself and the other party has been shortened a lot.

Because Okita Souji is willing to admit her past.

"In that case, Souji, were you a terrorist before?"

"Hmm... I guess so?" Souji Okita scratched his head and said with a troubled look on his face: "I don't know much about politics and the like... but they all say that this way more people can get Happy, so I followed them.”

"It's too casual, Souji, you won't be deceived, right?"

"No, even though they are all weirdos, they feel pretty good getting along with each other. It doesn't matter. If they are cheated, just chop each of them in the chest. They won't care."

...Wouldn’t you care even if you were slashed?

They are indeed a bunch of weirdos...

It's ridiculous, coming from Okita Souji's mouth.

But Kurotetsu Ikki believed it, because the expression on Okita Souji's face didn't look like he was lying.

"Have you been living in this shabby place these days?"

Okita Souji put his hands on his hips and looked around.

How can I put it... too neat?

Nothing.

There wasn't even a speck of dust or a crack to be found on the bed or the chair.

It's so monotonous that it doesn't even look like a place for people to live.

You'll get claustrophobia if you stay in a place like this for too long, right? Moreover, there is only Kuroyuki Ikki here, and there is no one who can even talk to him.

In addition, the food provided every day was drugged, no wonder even Kurogane Ikki, who had a strong willpower, looked so sick and depressed when she came.

"I suddenly thought about it, Ikki, I'd better kill everyone outside to avenge you."

"Please don't do such dangerous things."

After talking for a while, Souji Okita suddenly took out something.

"This is?"

The handkerchief that Soji Okita handed to Kurogane Ikki was a handkerchief, but after Kurogane Ikki opened it, he found that it was wrapped with a bundle of hair.

A very bright red, like a burning flame.

"Stella..."

Looking at it, Kurogete Ikki seemed to see the girl he fell in love with hopelessly, like a blazing flame.

"They say hair is a girl's second life, so, Ikki."

Okita Souji's voice sounded again, causing Kurogane Ikki to raise his head blankly.

"Stella has given her life to you, don't let her down."

Kurogane Ikki and Stella had already made an agreement.

Let the whole world know about their feelings. We are going to the stage of the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival together.

So... before the day they agreed on comes.

"You must not give up..."

At this time, Ikki Kurogane was smiling happily.

If happiness has a color, then the color of happiness in Ikki Kurogane's eyes should be as warm and bright red as a flame.

Okita Souji watched Ikki Kurogane carefully wrap the bundle of red hair with a handkerchief, and put it into his pocket very gently, as if it was a treasure worth protecting with his life.

"Thank you, Stella... I won't give up again."

And...

"Thank you too, Souji."

"It seems that you have finally cheered up."

This was Souji Okita's plan from the beginning. The silver apple was used to recover physical fatigue, and the things Stella gave her were used to heal mental trauma.

Seeing Ikki Kurogane recover his spirit, Souji Okita said happily: "It's worth it that I have worked so hard to find you."

For Souji Okita, sneaking in here is not the most difficult thing. The most difficult thing is to find Ikki Kurogane.

After all, this building is really too big! The building that can be seen from the outside is a hundred meters high, and there are facilities underground. Moreover, this is not just one building, but three buildings! They are just connected together.

Okita Souji did not rescue Kurogane Ikki, but left alone.

But she did not go back directly, but walked to the top of the building.

She also wanted to find someone. Although the mastermind behind this incident must be the Kurogane family, from Kurogane Jushizuku, Okita Souji learned that the creation of public opinion and the imprisonment of Kurogane Ikki should be led by Akaza Mamoru, the confidant of the head of the Kurogane family.

Not long after, Okita Souji found Akaza Mamoru.

He is fat, short and fat, and his narrow eyes squeezed by flesh remind people of foxes.

He is disgusting in every way...

The other party is also a sword cutter, but Okita Souji is confident in her breath blocking skills, so she approached boldly.

Don't get me wrong, she didn't want to draw her sword and chop the other person, although she herself wanted to do so, but she knew that chopping people was not enough.

"If possible, I want to act completely in the way of 'Okita Souji'..."

When she was Bawanshi, she learned a few magic tricks from Da Vinci.

Under the assassin class, Okita Souji has D-level magic power, and using some small magic is enough.

Although there is magic in this world, and there are also witches and magicians, they pay too much attention to their innate abilities and have not developed the use of magic to use spells.

Therefore, there is a lack of defense against magic.

This makes it convenient for Okita Souji.

Chapter 96 The opponent of the last battle

Several days have passed since Okita Souji and Kurogane Ikki had a conversation.

The drugged food has never stopped, but Kurogane Ikki pretended not to know and ate it as usual.

There is no way, even if he said it, people outside would not listen, and if he didn't eat it, the situation would be worse.

The good news is that Okita Souji left a few silver apples before he left.

The selection competition is still going on. Every few days, Oreki Yuri will bring Kurogane Ikki's opponent to the place provided by Akaza Mamoru.

It seems that Kurogane Ikki's last match is about to take place.

As long as he can win this last match, he will have the qualification to participate in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival.

In the interrogation room...

"Notify you of the opponent for the next match."

This is a dark and empty room.

Kurogane Ikki is locked in the middle like a convicted prisoner, and Akaza Mamoru, who is as fat as a pig but smiles as cunning as a fox, sits on a high place like a judge in a court.

There are also several light screens around him, but there are many figures whose faces cannot be seen on the light screens. They are the ones who conduct the interrogation of Kurogane Ikki every time.

Kurogane Ikki doesn't even have a stool. He has to stand in the middle for a whole day every time. He will be reprimanded if he dares to speak casually, and he will be reprimanded if he makes a small move.

Their goal was to use various language traps to make Kurogane Ikki fall into the trap and confess his crimes.

However, Kurogane Ikki insisted that there was true love between him and Stella, leaving them no room for any flaws.

The scene seemed to be in a stalemate...

Akaza-sama was about to announce Kurogane Ikki's opponent for the next match.

And, it was also the opponent of Kurogane Ikki's last match.

"[Setsuna], Okita Souji."

"She is your opponent in the next and last match."

Hearing the familiar name again, Kurogane Ikki, who lowered his head and could not see his expression, had a little reaction.

But... that was the only reaction.

Souji... huh?

But... it didn't matter anymore...

Akaza-sama seemed to be completely unsurprised by Kurogane Ikki's appearance.

Just a few days ago, he didn't know why, but Kurogane Ikki suddenly cheered up, and his whole spirit was different, which scared him a lot.

Then, he heard Kurogane Ikki say that he wanted to meet his father, the head of the Kurogane family, Kurogane Takeshi.

Of course he couldn't agree, but what Akaza Mamoru didn't expect was that Kurogane Takeru actually took the initiative to meet Kurogane Ikki.

He saw the conversation between the father and son.

Even he didn't know that Kurogane Ikki cared so much about his father.

So when Kurogane Yan completely denied Kurogane Ikki's efforts over the years, Kurogane Ikki became what he is now.

"People with talents should do what they want, and people without talents should do nothing. This is all I expect from you."

"People like you who have nothing to accomplish, once you accomplish something, will make those incompetent people have some unrealistic fantasies, and ultimately bring disadvantages to society and organizations."

It seems that nothing matters anymore, as if he has lost himself and become a cold walking corpse.
