Thanks<br/>==========<br/>==========<br/> The two swords spark, and the great sword knocks them away.<br/><br/> It was a back-and-forth, stormy battle.<br/><br/>「Muu~! No way, what kind of attack is that, a lure and a devilish attack? That maid... she's no ordinary person」<br/><br/> Before my eyes, the goat-headed butler and the silver-haired maid were fighting to the death. As we watched intently, my sister Onee-chan snorted.<br/><br/> She seemed to be more excited than ever, as if a strange switch had been turned on. I suspect that she's seeing something different from the scene we're seeing.<br/><br/> Before, I saw her holding a screw and a screwdriver in her hand and saying excitedly, "The screw is so sharp, yet the screwdriver is behind it...", so I thought she might be seeing things differently…<br/><br/> But the sword fight between the goat-headed butler and the silver-haired maid, even though I don't know anything about fighting techniques, at least I know it's awesome.<br/><br/> When I couldn't help but gulp...<br/><br/>「Both of you, please, let's run!」<br/><br/> I couldn't help but laugh as Ponpoko-san pulled at my cuffs, crying hard.<br/><br/>「Onee-chan, we should run, too」<br/><br/>「But...」<br/><br/> My sister Onee-chan raises an eyebrow. Of course, I understand what she's saying.<br/><br/> We're saints given power by angels. So why would we run from a devil when we've found one?<br/><br/>「I think Onee-chan knows better than me whether you're a match for the devil or not, don't you?」<br/><br/>「That's true, but...」<br/><br/> Even to the untrained eye, the battle between those two was clearly on a different level than the ones my sister Onee-chan had dealt with in the past.<br/><br/>「Geez, the cameras aren't rolling anymore, so there's no need to get involved in the devil's fight.」<br/><br/> I turn my attention to Hikari, who is still sitting dumbfounded behind the goat-head butler.<br/><br/> I'm curious about her, but since she's protected by a devil, I have to assume that she's no longer compatible with us, that she's hostile to us.<br/><br/>「...Okay. Let's go」<br/><br/> With a somewhat regretful look on my sister'sOnee-chan face, she begins to run ahead of me.<br/><br/>「Let's go, Ponpoko-san」<br/><br/>「Eh, ah, so sudden, wait a minute!」<br/><br/> I grabbed Ponpoko-san's hurried hand and ran out of the studio after my sister Onee-chan.<br/><br/> ◇ ◇ ◇<br/><br/>「Hahaha! It's very impressive, maid-dono! I'd like to take back my insulting remarks earlier」<br/><br/>「That's very kind of you. It is fortunate that I have met your expectations」<br/><br/> We exchanged words as we continued to engage in a fierce battle with our swords.<br/><br/>(As expected.. this man cannot be underestimated)<br/><br/> Not only is he difficult to underestimate, but I even feel as if I am being pushed, though only slightly.<br/><br/> I repelled the sword as it slid across the edge of the blade, and jumped backwards to reposition both swords.<br/><br/> I have the advantage in the number of moves, and the speed of the attacks.<br/><br/> However, he has offset my strong points by repelling all the dangerous attacks and completely ignoring the non-fatal blows.<br/><br/> The many small wounds I inflicted on him may make me think that I am pushing him, but he probably does not take much damage.<br/><br/> In fact, it is obvious that the longer the battle goes on, the more disadvantageous it will be.<br/><br/> At this point, I should use my deadly "Oni Piston" to decide the game at once.<br/><br/> With both swords in my hands, I close the gap between us with my feet. At the very moment when I am about to burst with a burst of energy, I hear a boom in the distance.<br/><br/> Somewhere in the distance, a gunshot rang out.<br/><br/> Immediately, Butler-dono's murderous spirit, which had been overflowing with so much mischief, faded away and he suddenly drew his sword.<br/><br/>「What are you doing? Are you planning to surrender?」<br/><br/>「No, not at all, my Lord's business seems to have been completed. There is no longer any reason for me to be here」<br/><br/> With that, he bowed, and before I could react, he took the man and woman sitting behind him by the arm, hurriedly broke the space, and disappeared.<br/><br/>「Apparently, I've been rejected」<br/><br/> I breathed out heavily and lowered my sword.<br/><br/> ◇ ◇ ◇<br/><br/>「Stun! Stun! Stun!」<br/><br/> I was completely out of my mind.<br/><br/> I was so afraid of being counterattacked that I persistently invoked .<br/><br/> Whenever Anna Teruya bounced her body, I became afraid that she could still move, and desperately shouted.<br/><br/>「Stop! Fumi Fumi! Stop, Devi!」<br/><br/> Suddenly, Lili appeared in the air and shouted out, making me stiffen.<br/><br/>「Li-Lili...」<br/><br/>「It's okay, calm down, Devi. She can't move anymore, Devi, it's okay to let go, Devi」<br/><br/> With that, Lili landed beside me and began to pull my tense fingers away from Anna Teruya's body, one by one.<br/><br/> My body is trembling. My body is hot, I can hardly breathe.<br/><br/> The sweat pouring out of my body was very cold.<br/><br/> Come to think of it, this was the first time I had fought with someone.<br/><br/> I was so excited that my body felt strange everywhere, as if my autonomic nervous system had been broken.<br/><br/>「Fumi Fumi, you did well, Devi. It's okay, Devi」<br/><br/> Her voice sounded gentler than ever. Lili smiled at me, as if she were soothing a crying child.<br/><br/> Taking deep breaths, I finally let go of Anna Teruya's body, and Lili laid her body down and slowly picked me up.<br/><br/>「Calm down, Devi?」<br/><br/>「Uh, yeah... I think so」<br/><br/> My body has stopped shaking. Sweat dripped on the ground, forming polka dots.<br/><br/> At the same time I let out a deep breath of relief, my shoulder was throbbing.<br/><br/>「Ouch... Lili, can you call Torture for me?」<br/><br/>「Sure, Devi. Torture! come here, Devi!」<br/><br/> Lili shouts, and a fallen angel wearing a sack appears from the corner of the room.<br/><br/> "Please", I said, and Torture nodded and put her hand on my shoulder.<br/><br/> Immediately, the wound closes up and the pain goes away. -tinytl<br/><br/>「Lili, I don't really know what's going on, but it looks like things are going a little differently than I've heard」<br/><br/>「I know what you mean, Devi. I've sent Freesia and the maids to clean up the mess, Devi」<br/><br/>「Good, that helps. Then, Lili, I must return to Fujiwara- san's...」<br/><br/>「Okay, Devi. I'll make sure this woman is confined, Devi」<br/><br/>「Hmm, please」<br/><br/> With that, I stood up and walked towards the door.<br/><br/> When I walked out the door, I saw Fujiwara-san sitting on the floor of the studio, holding her knees.<br/><br/> As soon as she saw me, her expression became distorted as if she was frightened for a moment.<br/><br/>「Hii, Fu-Fu... min?」<br/><br/> She remains sitting, looking at me intently.<br/><br/> Perhaps at a loss for words. Her lips make small movements and then close hesitantly. And there was a hint of confusion in her eyes.<br/><br/>「I'm sorry」<br/><br/> I muttered, and she let out a deliberate laugh.<br/><br/>「Hahaha... why are you apologizing?」<br/><br/>「There's a lot I haven't told you」<br/><br/>「I-I guess so. That's what I thought」<br/><br/>「That's why...」<br/><br/> As soon as I said that, she suddenly started shouting.<br/><br/>「So, what? You're not going to break up with me, are you? I mean, I'm not breaking up with you! Fu~min is my Fu~min! I'm not afraid of Anna-senpai anymore, but what I'm most afraid of is that I won't be able to be with Fu~min anymore!」<br/><br/> Then she walked up to me, pressed her forehead against my chest, and spoke.<br/><br/>「Tell me everything. ...I'll accept it all」</p>
