"bump!"
Gunfire rang out on Noden Island, but it did not come from the revolver in Nobuna Shimada's hand.
The bullet passed through Vector's chest, and the ancient Balians looked at the man who fired the gun in disbelief - that was a strong man. If he didn't say he was a banker, others would One would have thought he was a fighter.
The magic in Vector's hand was halfway concentrated and dissipated, and he fell down with an expression of disbelief.
"Dad!" Nobuna called out anxiously when her father suddenly appeared here while driving: "You're not..."
"I have informed the captain to let the others evacuate first." Shinji Shimada stepped closer with a gun raised. Although Vector had been shot and fell, Shinji Shimada could not relax his vigilance, "But always Someone will have to come out to break the relationship, right?"
"Are you coming? You're not a duelist at all..." Nobuna's tone was still very anxious. She felt that her father was just messing around. "Can't you let Rafilu and Ameruda come?"
"The situation over there is not as simple as you think."
Shinji Shimada squatted in front of Nobuna, and after confirming that Vector was not breathing, he put down the gun, and together with Zeke, he helped his daughter, who had long since lost strength, up. While helping him, he said: "I know Hikaru too well. Even if they agree to you leaving the island, they will definitely snipe us on our way out, so Ameruda and the others must go together."
"How do you know they promised me to leave the island? Do you know the 'deal' I made?"
Nobuna looked at her father in disbelief. She had come here without telling Shinji Shimada. If Shinji Shimada knew that she wanted to use the card she printed casually and her own life as a condition to threaten the "Guild of Light", If there are "thousands of lords", he will definitely stop it.
"Can you hide your thoughts from me?" Shimada Shinji said with a knowing look: "You designed the 'Surf Prosecutor' card yourself, and you plan to submit it to the International Illusion Society. Of course I was early I knew it...but I didn't expect you to actually want to use this card to threaten 'Thousands of Lords'! This is so messy, you don't even know how much weight this goal holds in his heart."
"There's nothing I can do." Nobuna, who was being taken advantage of by her father and fiancé, finally put her mind at ease and said with some fear: "But fortunately, the result is good, they retreated as agreed."
"Yes, they finally retreated as agreed." Jike also nodded and said: "To be honest, just half an hour ago I thought I was dead... I didn't expect Freya that you would think of such a method. .”
Nobuna raised her head, and even though her whole body was frightened and weak, she still said proudly: "Huh, I said I will make sure you are fine."
"It seems that what you said about me before, Freya, is true." Jike also said sincerely: "I am indeed not as strong as you, and I am indeed not the person who is worthy of you now, but you Don’t worry, I will definitely..."
"These are all things for later. I will not regret it if I agree to your engagement, and..."
Being called "Freya" by Jike, Nobuna's little face turned a little red. She turned her head away and whispered: "...and I didn't agree to you purely just to let you fight. Engagement."
Jike, who didn't hear clearly, was confused: "Freya, what did you say?"
"It's nothing!" Nobuna suddenly yelled, as if the strength that was scared away returned at this moment: "You can experience it yourself - I want you to write your experience in the wedding speech!"
"Ah this..." Jike looked like he had eaten a bitter melon.
[I heard from the people at Tianshangyuan that you were very aware of other people’s thoughts when you were training the little girl. Why are you so slow when you come to my place? 】Looking at Jike’s stupidity, Nobuna felt both fond and angry at the same time: 【Forget it, just think about it slowly~】
Perhaps because the danger was far away, Nobuna's heart gradually returned to calm. She could finally take off the mask she had put on when negotiating terms with the thousands of lords and start thinking about something for herself.
"Wait, engagement?"
At this time, Shimada Shinji, who was supporting Nobuna on the side, seemed to finally understand that his daughter had made a lifelong commitment to Jike, so he stopped and looked at Nobuna with a surprised look on his face, "Have you already negotiated?"
"Yes, dad." Nobuna said briskly: "Not long ago, I saw that he actually dared to challenge the 'Thousand Lords' for me, so I couldn't hold it back. Dad, you also think that such a Jike is quite good. Not bad, right?"
Jike was surprised to see Nobuna actually distorting the facts for him - before he went to challenge, he didn't know that guy was called "Lord of Thousands", nor did he know how scary that guy was.
At that time, Jike actually went to Mantis to work as a car because his mentality was too arrogant, and Nobuna must have known this; it was just that saying this would not earn him any impression points in front of his future father-in-law, so Nobuna took the initiative to help him distort some of the facts.
What’s interesting is that Shinji Shimada didn’t have any doubts after hearing Nobuna’s words, but proactively asked: “So you plan to go back and get married?”
"I have this plan. After all, Jike has been proposing for a while." Nobuna did not notice the abnormality of his father asking this question suddenly, but followed the words: "So I plan to go back and get married after this incident is over. , I will go back to my hometown in Osaka to hold one first, and then I will go to Copenhagen to hold one, and I have... Dad?"
Nobuna was about to talk endlessly about the wedding plans and arrangements she had already thought about, but suddenly she saw something was wrong with her father's expression.
"Woohoo, I finally got you to say, 'When this war is over, I will go back to my hometown and get married'~"
A frivolous voice sounded behind Shimada Nobuna. The moment the voice sounded, Nobuna and Jike both felt their hair stand on end!
"You...Vector?"
Nobuna turned his head mechanically and looked at the boy standing behind him - Vector, who should have been shot and fell, was now standing on the ground like a normal person, looking at Shimada Nobuna as if he were watching a show. and Jack Lloyd.
"What's going on, you..."
"You'd better look around you first~" Vector interrupted Zeke's question. He pointed at Shinji Shimada next to Nobuna and said, "It's so rare that you haven't noticed it for so long~"
"What did you find?"
Nobuna concentrated her attention on her father who suddenly became silent. Unexpectedly, when she concentrated her attention, she found hundreds of threads wrapped around her father's body - like a puppet!
And Shinji Shimada's body temperature also dropped quickly - he had been dead for a long time!
"Clang, clang, clang, shocking fact!" Vector flashed the palm of his hand like a magician, and then a tall duel elf appeared behind him. This duel elf's hands were wrapped with countless The threads, and it is these threads that control Shinji Shimada, making him look like he can still move.
Vector took out a mobile phone and took a picture of Nobuna's complicated expression that was mixed with fear, sadness and confusion. While taking the picture, he said: "Great, great, the Lord will like this expression." . By the way, this guy's name is 'No. 43 Soul Puppet Ghost Soul Puppet Master'. This is my duel elf. How about it? Did you like his performance just now?"
