The struggling expression of Shadow Shio before his death was vividly engraved in Shinpei's mind.

There were two orders issued by Bodao just now. One was to let Shadow Beinuo go and kill, and the other was to let Shadow Shinping hold Net Dai Shinping hostage and retreat.

Therefore, while standing up, Amiyoshi Shinpei reluctantly pulled out one hand and tried to hold Shadow Ushio's hand.

But it was all in vain.

From the moment the girl disappeared, the surroundings seemed to fall into deathly silence.

Shinpei seemed to have lost consciousness of his own body, and could only glimpse those eyes that filled him with despair and hatred.

Bo Dao was watching him silently.

Faintly, Bo Dao's words rang out in the picture:

[Shinpei, you must stay alive. Kofune Mio is still waiting for you to come back. If you can't do that, don't blame me for sending Shadow to replace you—cough! Cough cough, um…]

She suddenly started coughing and couldn't speak. She quickly covered her mouth with her hands, and her face suddenly turned pale.

The appearance of Shiori Kobayakawa that had been maintained for a long time gradually faded, revealing the face and white hair of Hata, and the bandage tied on the forehead added a bit of sickly color.

She looked down at the dark red blood in her hand and finally said:

〔Summer Festival, come quickly.〕

……

[I don’t remember what happened after that.]

Shinpei's extremely tired voice was heard in the anime, every word revealed despair, the tone was low and trembling slightly.

[Someone heard the gunshots and ran to check what happened, but... all the witnesses turned into shadows.]

[No matter how sad I am, I cannot die.]

[Look down, look down, look down...]

[Since the day my parents passed away, I have long been accustomed to dealing with this endless feeling of emptiness, but...]

[I can’t do it.]

[My spirit was constantly breaking down, but the remaining sanity forced me to move forward. Even if I had to drag my stiff body, I had to walk home step by step.]

[If I don't do this, my shadow, and Mio's shadow, will quietly take over the Xiaozhou family.]

End of recollection.

Quiet bedroom.

Shinpei Amishiro was leaning against the wall alone.

Those tragic experiences happened only a few hours ago.

These days, he has been recalling and his consciousness has never been interrupted. Logically, he should be so tired that he can sleep until dawn.

But he dreamed of the small boat tide.

Now that I think about it, it is more likely that the other party is Shadow Tide, after all, he is wearing that familiar school uniform.

[Shinnpei? Why are you still standing there? Let’s move forward together!]

He still remembered the conversation in the dream.

Chao's tone was so optimistic, completely inconsistent with the gloomy reality before him.

[Go forward... where are we going? ]

Amiyo Shinpei raised his hands to cover his eyes, tears welling up unconsciously.

Xiaozhou's home is close to the sea. If you listen carefully, you can faintly hear the sound of the sea surging.

After adjusting his emotions, Shinping opened his eyes again. The corners of his eyes felt a little dry, and there was only a slight sticky feeling left where the tears had flowed.

He moved his wrist, trying to see the time on his watch in the faint moonlight.

For some reason, the watch strap I've been wearing for a long time feels a bit tight on my wrist.

His wrist was held tightly by Shadow Shinpei before, and there were still red marks on it. He felt a stinging sensation when he touched the red skin with a little force.

[Shimpei, there's a shadow approaching!]

A strange boy's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

Amiyo Shinpei shuddered all over, quickly pulled out the kitchen knife hidden behind his back, and looked around vigilantly.

〔Who are you?!〕

The boy's voice came again, "It's me, Ryunosuke, Minami Ryunosuke!"

Upon hearing this, Shinpei showed a look of surprise, completely confused as to why Ryunosuke was attached to him.

But Ryunosuke didn't have time to explain to him clearly, and warned him: "Shimpei, the shadow is outside the window!"

Shen Ping, who had adapted to the darkness, quickly stood up, looking towards the window while leaning towards the light switch, ready to turn on the light and fight at any time.

The next second, just as Ryunosuke said, a black shadow climbed over the glass outside the window.

The wriggling black shadow found the gap in the window and easily invaded Shinpei's bedroom.

A familiar figure emerged from the shadows.

Shinping stared at the other person with nervousness, and slowly called out a name:

[Shadow Mio...]

Zoom out slightly.

The background music begins to build.

Under the moonlight.

Shadow Mio and Amishiro Shinpei, one on the left and one on the right, confronted each other.

Shadow Mio smiled and said hello:

[Good evening, Xiao Shen.]

The camera went straight to the ending song.

The first part of episode 13 of the animation ends here!

"Gaia!"

"ED God Insertion."

"I dreamed of the ending of the third episode."

"The humming at the end of the film gave me goosebumps!"

"Is this the last ED?"

"Hurry up and move on to the next episode! Otherwise I'll die!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Come and see the Easter eggs."

……

Xijiang did not choose to skip the ED. While listening to the final ending song, she explained the changes in the picture with the audience.

"The plot of the previous part was pretty good, the budget was always on point, especially the fight between Ryunosuke and the shadow tourist. The fight was very exciting, and there was basically no speedrunning to go around, which met my expectations."

“I hope the second part of volume 13 can have a better ending. I have to say that Shiori’s plot is a bit sharp, and the ending of the OP scene makes it clear that this is a tragedy.”

“The ED scene adds new wallpapers for each character. If you want to save it, take a screenshot later.”

The 1 minute and 30 second ending song ended quickly.

Xijiang decisively opened the last episode of the anime.

This time, the opening theme disappeared.

The animation goes directly into the plot——

Shinpei decisively turned on the indoor lights. Even though the light was a little dazzling at the moment, he would not let his guard down.

[Why are you here?!] Shinpei gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, at least this would give him a little more courage.

Shadow Mio looked at the knife pointed at her, her expression did not change, instead she put her index finger to her lips and said:

[Shhh - it would be bad if you woke me up. Xiao Shen has been staying here just to protect me, right? This makes me so happy.]

After hearing this, Shinpei immediately retorted: "I am protecting the real Mio, what does it have to do with you?!"

[Is that so? My sister is completely dead, whether she is a human or a shadow...Xiao Shen just needs to pay attention to me.]

[Shut up...] Shinpei couldn't give a good look. When he thought of Shadow Shio's death, he wanted to kill Hata.

Shadow Mio is equally unforgivable, as Nezu was killed by her own hands.

Seeing Shinpei's angry expression, Shadow Mio slightly stopped smiling. "Since you hate me so much, aren't you afraid that I will secretly replace her?"

[Before that, I will kill you first!!]

Shinpei has reached a consensus with Ryunosuke on the conscious level. If the situation goes wrong, he will let Ryunosuke take control of the body and kill the shadow Mio in front of him.

After all, since Hata was not present, Ryunosuke's ability to "foresee two seconds" had most of the advantages, and it was no problem for him to easily kill Shadow Mio.

However, Shadow Mio did not take action.

From the time she invaded the room until now, she has kept her hands empty, and the kitchen knife has not been projected, making it impossible to guess her true purpose.

[I thought Xiao Shen would be devastated, but this is fine. In order to prevent Xiao Shen from hating me, I'll put the replacement aside for now.]

As soon as he finished speaking, Shadow Mio turned into a shadow and returned the same way, leaving the room on her own initiative.

Only Shinpei and Ryunosuke were confused.

[Shinpei, the other party has indeed left.]

After hearing Ryunosuke's reminder, Shinpei finally breathed a sigh of relief and put down the blade in his hand.

But the next second, there was a knock on the door.

[Xiao Shen? Are you okay... I saw the light in your room was still on.]

The girl's voice was similar to the one before, but the emotion contained in it was completely different.

Because this is the voice of Mio Kofune.

Shinpei became nervous again and quickly hid the kitchen knife, then quickly wiped his face with his hand, hoping that the tear marks on his cheeks would not be too obvious.

〔I'm going to open it.〕

When Xiaozhou Mio didn't hear his response, she carefully turned the doorknob and opened the door a crack.

I saw Shenping standing beside the bed, neatly dressed, with his face turned away, as if he was avoiding something.

[Xiao Shen? I seem to hear you talking, is it an illusion?] Xiaozhou Mio walked in slowly.

[Ah, I was on the phone just now, window, he wanted to talk to me.] Shinpei subconsciously made up a lie.

[Lie.] Xiaozhou Mio smiled helplessly. From the moment she saw Shinpei's face, she knew that Shinpei had been crying. [During dinner, Xiaoshen was not in good spirits. He must have been thinking about his sister.]

[……] Shinpei was speechless. As expected of a family member who had lived together for more than ten years, Kozue Mio’s guess was correct.

[I hesitated for a long time about this and thought it would be better to let Xiao Shen carry it.] Xiao Zhou Mio slowly opened her tightly clenched hands, and an exquisite shell necklace lay quietly in her palm.

She handed over the necklace.

Shinpei took it silently.

This scene was repeated many times.

Every time he goes back, he will receive this shell necklace from Kofune Mio.

But this time, there were earth-shaking changes in the retrospection.

Shinping, who has been immersed in sadness, doesn't know how to react.

The real boat tide was gone, as was the miraculous shadow tide.

Shell necklace...

It was because Shinpei got the real necklace that he was able to tell that the other person was a shadow at the first moment.

After all, Shadow Tide also wears a necklace around his neck, but that is just a projection of his shadow...

and many more!

It's the same every time, which means...

Shinpei suddenly came to his senses.

That ignorant Shadow Tide will still stand at the beach with a blank look on his face like he did at the beginning, so...

[We can still meet! !]
