Rooftops of buildings near the hospital.
Looking at Ryuga and Kido Shinji who left the hospital building from the window one after another and were caught by the Dark Dragon and the Peerless Dragon respectively, Tezuka Umino was about to speak when he heard a clear announcement suddenly coming from beside him. .
"Celebrate, at this moment, a battle for survival that affects the world has officially begun!"
Hearing this, Tezuka Umino was silent for a moment, and looked to the side without any surprise on his face.
"You are indeed here..."
He calmly stated the identity and name of the person next to him.
"The Demon King's retainer, Woz!"
As Tezuka Umi's perspective turned, the person next to him gradually appeared in full view.
Brown coat, gray scarf, it is Woz.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah~~"
He held the Enchanting Calendar, with a smile that was almost the same as usual, and said to his opponent Tsuka Umino.
"Mr. Tezuka, even if you please me so much, the result will not change at all."
"I know." Tezuka Uyuki nodded, "So, I'm not regretting the choice I made, I'm just feeling a little emotional."
"Sentimental?"
"yes."
Tezuka Uyuki nodded again, and then changed his tone.
“But maybe I’m too weak.
“Because I really can’t abandon the world and let so many innocent people die for my own wishes.
“I can’t bear that kind of guilt.
"After all, although this world is not beautiful, it is not so bad that it must be destroyed."
After saying this, Tezuka Umino sighed softly, moved his eyes away from Woz, looked around, and finally looked towards the hospital again.
"To be honest, I admire the Demon King of the Mirror World very much.
“As a king, he fulfilled all the responsibilities he could for his world and his people.
"It's no wonder the residents of the Mirror World are so loyal to him.
"But, I am from this world!
"Just like there is a demon king in the mirror world who is doing his best to make his world a better place, there is also a demon king in this world who is actively working hard to make this world a better place!"
Saying this, Tezuka Kaiichi pointed at the mirror monsters that were gathering towards the Holy Central Hospital.
"Look, even these residents of the Mirror World, who I once called monsters, are working hard for their king and their world. As a human being and a resident of this world, how can I lose to them? , the devil who abandoned my world, abandoned my world, let him fight alone?"
These words were like needles piercing Woz's heart, causing him to tighten his hands hanging by his sides suddenly, and he could no longer maintain the usual smile on his face.
I saw him saying with a cold expression:
"Is this why you deceived Akiyama Ren? Because you think he will eventually abandon the world because of his own selfish wishes, so you have to stop him even if you use deception?"
However, when Tezuka Umino heard this, he shook his head.
"No, I never thought about stopping Lian's choice."
It's not just that he won't deny a husband's desire to save his wife.
It's more because he knows Akiyama Ren.
To outsiders, Ren Akiyama always looks cold, as if she doesn't care about anything. If necessary, she will definitely be able to kill others with ease, right?
However, Ren Akiyama's ruthlessness is just a symptom of his extremely inexpressive character.
In fact, Akiyama Ren is a very affectionate and kind person.
Therefore, if Akiyama Ren is forced to make a choice between the person he loves most and the world, he will only be hurt in the end.
You will die if you don't fight, and you will die if you fight.
In this situation, what would Akiyama Ren choose?
The memory of the knight's history has revealed Ren Akiyama's choice to Umino Tezuka.
Yes, if it were Akiyama Ren, the path he would eventually choose would definitely be the "fighting" path.
Perhaps, the former Tezuka Uminoki would choose to stop Ren Akiyama.
However, now Tezuka Miyuki, as Akiyama Ren's close friend, chose to fulfill Akiyama Ren's private wish.
And what is Qiu Shanlian’s private wish?
There is no doubt that that is Akiyama Eri's safe and healthy life.
Woz just said that Tezuka Umino deceived Ren Akiyama.
This is true.
Previously, when Tezuka Miyuki was persuading Ren Akiyama at the Holy Central Hospital, he said that he was the devil's lobbyist.
However, he did not specify which demon king it was.
The reason why Ren Akiyama thought that the "Demon King" Tezuka Umino was talking about at that time was referring to Mirror World Shougo was actually the result of Tezuka Umino's deliberate induction.
Then, taking advantage of this result and Ren Akiyama's trust in him, Tezuka Umino asked Ren Akiyama to leave Night Rider's knight watch to Eri Akiyama.
In the end, the night-riding knight's watch fell into the hands of Gates, and became a letter of surrender to Tokiwa Shogo, and also became an amulet for Tezuka Umiyuki to guarantee that Akiyama Eri would be saved no matter what.
However, it was different from what Woz guessed.
The purpose of Tezuka Umiyuki's move was not to use deception to force Ren Akiyama into Tokiwa Shogo's camp.
On the contrary, he wanted to provide Ren Akiyama with an excuse to choose to fight with peace of mind.
…
…
St. Central Hospital Building.
Looking out the window at Shinji Kido and Ryuga who had successfully transformed, Gates was about to jump out of the broken window when suddenly an extremely sharp sound wave pierced his head, causing him to stop. , holding his head in great discomfort.
Then, before Gates could react, behind him, a bat-shaped mirror monster suddenly rushed out of the observation window of the ward door nearest to him, accompanied by a roar, and knocked him against the remains of the window. pieces of glass.
Gates subconsciously made defensive moves.
But the feeling of weightlessness that was supposed to come only lasted for a moment and then disappeared.
At the same time, the sharp sound wave that hit his brain disappeared.
This allowed Gates to quickly recover.
He looked around, his expression suddenly froze.
The words that were reversed from the real world, the numerous mirror monsters, and the absence of Shinji Kido and Ryuga in the sky all told Gates that he was now in the mirror world.
"squeak--"
At this moment, a cry that he had just heard when he was knocked into the mirror world suddenly sounded.
Looking up in the direction from which the sound came, he saw a bat-shaped mirror monster looking down at him menacingly in the air.
The contracted beast of Night Rider, Wings of Darkness.
Gates, who recognized the identity of the bat-shaped mirror monster above, subconsciously took out Night Rider's knight watch.
At the same time, he suddenly turned around and looked to the other side of the street.
I saw in that direction, Renzheng Akiyama, holding Ye Qi's card case in one hand, walking towards him.
