No matter how lively the gathering is, there will be a moment when it ends.
After sending Caori home with unfinished feelings, the parents of the Shiratori family naturally couldn't let their daughter leave at night.
Li Wu was also placed in the guest room where he had stayed before.
He is taking the time to study how to cut space rifts.
The ability of [Demon King]'s words, which he finally obtained during the battle with Lilith, is a completely different level of power from the other three.
Although it is just a simple increase in destructive power, if the increase reaches a certain scale, it means that numerical crushing can be achieved regardless of all fancy mechanisms.
It was as if even the pure white space that gave the other party immortality had been cut open.
True to its name, this is a deus ex machina that can forcibly execute characters regardless of the progress of the plot.
"Is this why you go around in other people's rooms with no clothes on and swinging a sword around?"
Shiratori Mai sat on the edge of the bed, covering her forehead as if she had a headache.
She was still wearing the same bathrobe as before, but her hair was spread loosely, carrying the fragrance and moisture after washing.
"I have good control over my strength...and I can burn my clothes even if I put them on."
Li Wu also lacked confidence when he retorted.
Although he was indeed just swinging it in the air, as soon as the other party came in, he saw a naked man of the opposite sex waving the weapon, creating black cracks in the air. There was nothing he could do about it after being hit...?
He suddenly reacted: "No, after all, isn't it because you just jumped in without knocking on the door?"
Shiratori Makoto let out a long sigh, took off her slippers, crawled on her knees and sat upright on the bed, put her legs together and pointed to the opposite position.
"Li Wujun, sit down."
"..."
"Otherwise, I will go and ask Hoshikawa-san and Guang to come over now to review the matter."
Li Wu sat down cross-legged.
She nodded with satisfaction: "I was originally here to inform Li Wujun that he can take a shower."
"Oh, thank you, then I'll go now -"
The wrist was grabbed.
"Did you know? Even Cai Zhi hasn't washed it yet."
Shiratori Mai looked into his eyes seriously, "She used to be the first to take a bath. Today I came back for the rare occasion and gave up the opportunity."
"Then let her go first?"
It is said that women of any age have constant Occlumency with men, making it unclear what they are thinking.
Li Wu now feels this deeply.
"That's not the point!"
Sure enough, she waved her hand to express her denial, "I didn't notify Cai Zhi, nor my parents. With full sincerity, I skipped the tedious details of knocking on the door and came directly to Li Wujun to remind you."
"It would be better not to omit the knocking?"
"shut up!"
Shiratori Makoto was impassioned, "I heard that there once was a hero in Donghua in ancient times. When he learned that someone wanted someone to come to his door, he would be able to welcome him with his unkempt headdress. That's how I felt just now."
"There's no comparison at all! Unless you also like married women!"
"Maybe the other way around..."
She murmured to herself in a very low volume, "Anyway, I had the desire to take care of Li Wujun, but when I came in, I saw him practicing to prepare to leave me..."
The girl crossed her arms in dissatisfaction and hugged her chest: "Didn't you agree that I would be responsible for sending everyone to the battlefield?"
This was what made her angry.
"There's nothing wrong with having a backup plan as insurance, right?"
"not good!"
Shiratori Mai shook her head, "It's not good at all."
"...What happened?"
It's rare to see her, who likes to reason, express her anger so openly.
Coupled with the fact that business was involved, Li Wu's tone was also slightly angry.
Regardless, he thought it was right to prepare an alternative design for the final battle.
"I might not be able to go there with everyone."
Finally, she spoke anxiously, "After completing a teleportation of that scale, the ability will be unavailable for a short period of time. Even if it is gone, it will only be a burden."
"Isn't it amazing to be able to do this?"
"In this case, don't deprive me of the only place where I can help."
The girl in front of her eyes lit up, "I have a method that will definitely succeed and doesn't require Li Wujun to spend time practicing on it."
Li Wu had a bad premonition, but decided to listen to what the other party had to say first.
She snapped her fingers and grabbed his wrist again: "Get ready, let's go to the moon."
ah?
His questioning voice disappeared into the vacuum.
The gray soil, the uneven craters, and the blue sphere hanging in the sky all showed that the two of them had crossed the 380,000-kilometer gap from the room to the lunar surface in an instant.
The figure of the boy and girl holding hands only stayed on the surface of the moon for a moment before disappearing.
She launched her second space jump, and when she reappeared, the plain white palace that Li Wu had seen before was opening its door to them.
"Your abilities have improved so much than before, but why do you come here?"
If he remembered correctly, this palace should be the residence of the god Tsukiyomi.
There are so many gods related to the moon, so naturally they cannot all crowd on the moon and become aliens. Most of them have their own residences in the secluded world where the gods live.
He compared Shiratori Mai's experience when she sent them back to the earth from the moon last time. That time she needed to use Tsukiyami's power to strengthen her own abilities, but now she landed on the moon directly from the earth, which was a direct breakthrough. It has broken the boundaries of the hidden world and invaded the abode of God.
Although this god itself has a lot to do with her.
"Li Wujun, do you still remember how we returned to Earth last time?"
Shiratori walked into the opened jade-colored door with familiarity, and the scene inside also changed compared to the last time.
The originally monotonous hall now looks like a garden at night, with several paths extending from the door and turning into steps at the end, leading to a circular platform in the center that is higher than the ground.
There is a solemn throne with the night sky and the crescent moon as the background decoration. It is currently empty. The last time Shiratori Mai squatted here, waiting for someone to come to her.
They were clearly on the moon, but there was still a bright moon hanging above. Light blue bellflowers were swaying slightly on both sides of the path, and a gray rabbit wearing a top hat could be seen walking through the grass.
They stood up, lined up along the roadside, and took off their hats to salute as if to welcome their master.
Under Li Wu's gaze, the girl in a light red yukata bathed in the moonlight and walked along the stone path towards the empty throne.
She held down the armrest of the God's Seat and slowly sat on it, causing the stars in the night sky behind her to shine with silver light. The brass-carved crescent moon decoration was raised upwards, intersecting with the moonlight in the sky at this moment.
The being who looked like the goddess of the night rested her chin on the armrest with her elbow, looked down at the humans below, and then continued her question.
"I want to use her power to strengthen my abilities just like I did then."
After sitting on the throne belonging to Tsukiyomi, Shiratori Mayi, who looked like an ordinary bathing girl just a moment ago, now acted with unique majesty in every word and deed, so that her words were given a certain sacred temperament.
This is the existence that belongs to the highest peak of the material and spiritual world, the word spirit of God——
"It hurts, it hurts! Don't touch it!"
The next moment, Zhuang Su's filter was destroyed to pieces.
Li Wu jumped in front of the throne with an expressionless face, raised his knife and struck the girl on the forehead again and again.
She held her head and blocked her left and right, and finally let all the hand-knife attacks hit her perfectly, even those that Li Wu deliberately wanted to miss.
100% if the head is hit by a bullet, it is yes.
Finally, the Moon Goddess disappeared from her seat with a whoosh, and appeared in a panic under the ring platform.
"incredible!"
Shiratori Mai, whose temperament returned to normal, covered the area where he had just been beaten, tears almost flowing from the corners of his eyes, "Even if you have different opinions, Li Wujun, I think there is a more peaceful way of expression, right? You are a DV (domestic violence) male!"
"Stop talking nonsense, I already agreed when I met you here last time."
Li Wu, who had turned into a domestic violence man even before the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend was officially established, looked down at her from a high place and walked down the stone steps step by step, "President, if you can't think about it anymore, I will use Even if you get violent, I will drag you back."
"I'm not going to commit suicide!"
She corrected angrily, "This is different from last time. I don't plan to return to Shinhwa and become Tsukiyomi completely."
"...If President, if you can't think about it anymore, I will drag you back even if you use violence."
"Do you think pretending not to hear and repeating the cool lines again can pretend that nothing happened?!"
It seemed that he had indeed misunderstood.
But this is also due to Shiratori Mai being too involved in the drama. She just sat on the throne wearing a yukata, and also made a pose with one hand supporting her chin. Li Wu felt that he could bear half of the blame at most.
"I'm sorry, I was too worried about losing my real clothes, or becoming someone I didn't recognize, so I had a bit of a stress reaction."
But after all, he was the one who made the first move, so Li Wu still apologized honestly.
"It's scumbag to say such a reason as if it's nothing. As expected of you."
"The score is high, right?"
"It would have been perfect without this sentence, but now it will be deducted into a negative number."
Among the blue bellflowers, the gray rabbits who were frightened by the recent movement poked their heads and looked at the girl's reddish cheeks.
Shiratori Mai, who finally got the chance to explain her plan, thought about the organizational language for a while: "As I just said, I want to use the power of God to further strengthen my abilities."
Li Wu questioned: "Can it be done without returning to mythology?"
"As long as the steps are appropriate."
She had obviously thought about it deeply and answered fluently at this moment, "Has Li Wujun ever heard of the saying that 'witches are the brides of gods'?"
"I've heard it before...but is it true?"
He recalled the miko he knew and felt that she didn't even feel respect for God, let alone a bride.
"Indeed, this sentence contains elements of misinformation."
Shiratori Mai nodded, "Since that incident in Kyoto, new knowledge has been flowing into my mind."
She usually never mentioned this topic at all, but now she talked about gods and witches: "To be correct, witches are not only the containers of God's power on earth, but also the excuses for gods to interfere in the world - just like deceiving the world. The consciousness said, you see, the person I like has encountered a problem, so I want to lend my strength or directly deal with it myself, so this statement came out."
"I understand, God's tool."
No wonder Hamaroma, the priest of Munakata's three goddesses whom he met in the past, was so resentful after knowing that he was abandoned. It turned out that the goddess was not even interested in treating him as a tool.
"That's not the case!"
Shiratori Makoto was a little unhappy for some reason, "And I have the existence of the Moon Goddess in my body. It's not impossible to say that we are the same person, so if I don't return to the myth, I can borrow her power. In fact, it's okay. There’s a trick.”
So far, she has completely accepted this setting.
When Li Wu heard this, he had already vaguely guessed what the other party was going to say.
"Hey, what you're talking about can't be -"
"That's right, just provide a [reason] or an [excuse]."
Shiratori Makoto raised the sleeves of his yukata and pointed at him, "Be my miko, tool man."
"You can't do it because of your gender, right?!"
"It's okay, as long as there's love, it's okay."
She gave him a sideways look, "Or is Li Wujun going to back down now? I won't ask what happened between you and Airisa. It's obvious that even Guang's confession has been accepted, and he has embarked on the road of riding on many boats. Now, do you want to reject me who pushed you to come up with this idea in the first place?"
"I don't want this to be associated with myths or other nonsense."
Li Wu was silent for a while and gave a disguised answer.
Therefore, Shiratori Mai smiled sincerely.
"it does not matter."
She wrapped the opponent's hand into her closed palm, "Hoshikawa-san also accepted that the power of magical girls has become stronger, Airisa thought of ways to improve her combat effectiveness, and Hikaru is destined to fight against her other self. …”
There is a connection between them that he can't see.
"So, let me use my power for Li Wujun. We have experienced so many stories together, and this ability was obtained from it, and it was put into use to help you at the last moment. Don't you think this is also fate? Part of it?”
Shiratori Mai took back her hand and tapped her lips.
"I like you, Mr. Li Wu. At this moment, in front of the throne of God (me), Yue Ye Jian (me) is willing to lend the power of the goddess of the moon (Shiratori Mayi) to break through the long and cruel distance, break through the obstacles set by the enemy, and defeat the enemy. Everyone is sent to the final battlefield - I just hope you can return safely."
It's like there are two voices overlapping each other, resounding in the abode of myth.
This is both a blessing from the gods and a confession from the girl.
"Is this the ultimate goal of taking me in such a long circle?"
"This kind of thing also requires a personal touch."
Facing the smiling president, it was really hard to refuse.
So Li Wu hugged her, taking her soft and fragrant body into his arms.
"I will definitely bring everyone back with me."
"Isn't it too embarrassing to mention everyone at this time?"
"Weren't you the one who mentioned it first?"
"That's right. If I had known, I wouldn't have enlightened Li Wujun that there is still this way to go."
The girl in her arms sighed heavily, "Now she has completely turned into an outstanding scumbag."
Under the bright moonlight, she raised her face, which was getting whiter, and closed her eyes: "However, there is still one last step left."
The bluebells were still swaying leisurely, and the rabbits turned their heads shyly to avoid looking directly at the two people who were close together under the moonlight.
