The days when I helped the protagonist come to power [System]

The world is not fair, Ersey thought.

Although he has realized this truth in hundreds of reincarnations, but this time he still wants to say... the world is so unfair! ! !

"So... you just took a few more glances and found something strange about the map?" Erxi held the map that the boy handed over tightly, his voice was a little stiff.

"It's not as amazing as you said." Xin shook his head, his expression remained flat, as if he was used to it, "If it were someone else, they would also find the 'password' hidden in the map, but there is only one chance to crack it. The map will be destroyed... I can only say that I am lucky."

Can this be called okay! !It is estimated that you have all the good luck in the world, right? !

Erxi raised his forehead, and couldn't help but glance at the map in his hand again - it was completely different from the original map in his hand. This map "cracked" by Xin was no longer monotonous and simple lines, but It is more detailed and rich, and the most striking change is that in the center of a suspected mountain in the center of the map, a zigzag red line appears through the interior of the mountain.According to Xin's explanation, this is a secret road hidden in the snow-capped mountains. Although there may be many obstacles in the secret road, it is definitely a shortcut to the end.

...It's almost like a fast track for customs clearance specially set up by the world system for its darling!

"As expected of Xin!" Cecil's eyes sparkled with excitement, "Now we must be the first candidates to reach the finish line!! We must pass the exam without any problem!"

"Oh, really?" Erxi glanced at Cehir with a half-smile, "You'd better pray that you won't faint again, you need someone to carry you to the end."

Cecil: "..."

"Ah, don't look at me so enthusiastically. Although I did recite you all the way, I don't need you to repay me wholeheartedly...but if you want to repay me all the way, I won't mind."

Cecil was so angry that his eyes were red, but the other party was really "kind" to him, which made him extremely depressed, and he almost wished he could travel back and drag himself down who had been carried by Erxi and beat him up.

"...Let's wait and see!! Megalomaniac!!" In the end, the boy said angrily, dragged Xin who hadn't reacted yet, and rushed to the front angrily.

"Damn it... I finally found a shortcut, why would I go with such an annoying bastard..." From a distance, Cecil could still be heard angrily muttering.

Seeing Cecil take Xin away from him like hiding from the plague, the smile on the corner of Erxi's mouth became even more pleasant.

"Although I owe you a favor... But it is more comfortable to keep a distance." The young man whispered, and walked forward.

Heluomi was at the back. He looked at Xin in front, and at Erxi who seemed to be in a good mood, and curled his lips.

"Are you so happy after cracking the map?" The young man looked down at the half-open map in his hand—it was his map, and at the center of it, a red route across the mountain was marked.

——just like Xin's share.

"It's obviously very simple..." He Luomi shrugged, put the map in his pocket casually, and followed with big strides.

At the beginning, the aisle could only accommodate two people in parallel, but it gradually became a spacious avenue where four people can walk in parallel without feeling crowded.Except for the need to ignite the fire magic scroll for lighting when they first entered the passage, they never used any lighting tools after that—on the rock wall of the passage, luminous stone-like crystals gradually appeared, and at first they were dotted , Sparse and sparse, but gradually become clusters, clusters, like clusters of flowers blooming along the way.Walking to the back, even for a certain distance, the entire wall on the right is covered with transparent and luminous crystals. The fluorescent blue light is beautiful and mysterious, reflecting on the human body like a layer of transparent blue veil.

"It seems...it's getting colder as we walk." Cecil folded his arms and shivered violently.The temperature in the tunnel was actually not low, but he still felt an irresistible cold rising from the bottom of his heart, as if his soul was about to freeze.

"They are absorbing energy." Xin frowned, touched the crystal wall with his hand, and then quickly withdrew his hand, his expression becoming more serious, "They are very active."

"We can't stay here for too long." Erxi also frowned, but he recognized these crystals. The scientific name is called the Devouring Magic Crystal. There are many creatures on the edge of the Black Mountain of the Demon Race. Slowly, it will be like being sucked out of the spirit, becoming lifeless, like a walking dead.Although the name of the devouring magic crystal has the word "magic crystal", it is completely different from the ordinary magic crystal that can provide power-one is to plunder, and the other is to give. The ominous spar has no good impression.

Except for one class of people.

— Lich.

Only those old monsters who can no longer be called living things like to collect this thing. After all, soulless people who have been sucked out of their vitality and have empty bodies are most liked by this group of monsters who like to make undead puppets.Their lairs are always full of such crystals, and some liches even set their bases in the mines of the Soul-devouring crystals.

Xin nodded, quickened his pace, and Cecil simply started to trot, but judging from his pale face, exercise did not let him get rid of the lingering chill.Erxi turned his head, wanting to urge Heromi to follow quickly, but inadvertently saw the boy observing those crystals with great interest.

"Helomi?"

At that moment, Erxi felt that he must have read it wrong, because even ordinary people who don't know what the soul-devouring crystals are, when they approach these beautiful but dangerous crystals, they will instinctively feel uncomfortable, just like Cecil— —At least, any normal person would not show such a joyful and intoxicated expression on Heluomi's face.

But when Ersie blinked his eyes, everything changed—the boy didn’t have that inappropriate expression of appreciation on his face, but, like Cecil, his face was slightly pale, and his frown showed that he was at the moment The body seems to be extremely unwell.

"Let's go quickly." Heromi looked at Erxi, her voice was dry, as if she had spent a lot of energy even speaking, "I feel very uncomfortable."

Ersie stared at him, but said nothing.

Hei Luomi had a look of bewilderment on his face, and said cautiously: "Brother Er... what's wrong with you?"

Ersie looked at him for another moment, then turned away.

"...Nothing, let's go."

After walking for more than an hour, they completely left the area of ​​the Soul Eater Demon Crystal and entered an extremely narrow tunnel.The walls on both sides of this tunnel are covered with strange fluorescent moss, which allows them to avoid the consumption of fire magic scrolls-although Xin seems to have a large number of fire magic scrolls in reserve, it is not known what will happen along the way. In any dangerous situation, if this kind of magic scroll that can produce huge power is only used for lighting, it is really too wasteful.

Several people walked sideways in this narrow tunnel for a long time, and suddenly their vision suddenly opened up, and they finally re-entered the open area.When everyone walked out of the tunnel and saw the scene in front of them, they couldn't help showing expressions of surprise, and Cecil even yelled "Wow".

This is a hall with obvious traces of artificial construction.

No, it's more like a closed square than a hall.At a glance, the entire ground is paved with flat black bricks and stones. In the center of the square, there are two white stone monuments, which are extremely eye-catching in the pure black environment.

But what really attracted everyone's attention were the many caves scattered in the stone walls around the hall.

These caves are of different sizes and heights, some are close to the ground, some are half suspended in the air, and there are a large number of them, roughly speaking, there are at least thirty or forty caves.Every cave seems to be connected with a road, but just standing outside and looking in, the scene inside the cave seems to be similar, and there is no difference at all.

"Do we need to choose a path now...and continue on?" Cecil asked uncertainly.

The boy's question was not answered, because after looking around the cave, the remaining three people stepped up to the square almost at the same time, and walked to the two steles.

The stele is about two people tall, and the material seems to be just ordinary white marble, with a blank space on it, without providing any useful information.Erxi studied for a long time, but found nothing. He looked at Heluomi, who also shook his head helplessly.

"It can only depend on luck." Xin looked away from the stele, obviously he also gave up looking for clues here, "Which way do you want to choose?"

"What about you?" Ersey asked back, "Which would you like to choose?"

Xin looked around and remained silent.It could be seen that he was really clueless about his choice this time.

Erxi thought for a while, then stretched out his hand to Xin: "Give me one of your arrows."

Xin immediately pulled out a wooden arrow from the quiver and handed it to the young man.Ersie half-kneeled on the ground, laying the wooden arrow flat on the black stone tiles.

"Since we have no idea, let's take a gamble with luck—we all turn the wooden arrow once, and in the end the arrow points to the cave in which direction, we will use that cave as an alternative route, and finally vote with a show of hands to decide together whether we want to enter Where."

That being said, Ersey just wanted to see where Sin ended up going—with the blessing of the world system, that path was probably the right one.

Cecil immediately frowned: "This is too casual..."

"Row."

Cehir stared dumbfounded at his friend's quick response, and also half-knelt down in front of the wooden arrow, stretching out his hand to wave the arrow without hesitation.

For a moment, Cehir had a strong premonition: as long as it was a plan proposed by Erxi, Xin would unconditionally implement and support it.

……

No no no, this is too scary! !It must be my own illusion! !

The wooden arrow that Xin turned turned around on the ground several times, then the speed became slower and slower, and finally the arrow pointed to a cave close to the ground in the northeast corner.

Well, that's the right way to go.Ersey thought silently.

But in order not to let others see the difference, the process that should be followed still needs to be followed.Cecil was the second to turn the wooden arrow, and the direction where the arrow finally stopped was the northwest corner.

Ersey was the third to try, and the end result was out in a second—his arrow pointing the way he had come, with no reference value.

When it was Hei Luomi's turn, the young man was obviously not optimistic about this kind of lucky way of choosing, and he was very careless when he fiddled with the wooden arrow. The arrow slowly turned twice, and then gradually stopped, and the direction it was pointing...

Seeing that result, Ersie's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

The direction of Heluomi's arrow, and the result of Xin's previous transfer——

It was exactly the same.

On the black masonry ground, the point where Xin's arrow pointed was marked by a scratch, but at this time, Heluomi's arrow perfectly coincided with that scratch.

There was a moment of silence.

"...Can it be such a coincidence?" Cecil couldn't help but look at Hei Luomi a few more times.This young man who has been by Ersie's side all the time, except for the time he ate six servings of sticky mush in a small restaurant, he has no other impressions, as if there is an invisible black veil blocking outsiders. Like a peek, Cecil always felt that he would even forget this person's appearance in a few days.

"It seems that we have to go there." Erxi pretended to be relaxed, but the fluctuations in his heart were more intense than anyone else. He encountered such an unfortunate accident in the first exam. Luo Mi's malice, but now it seems... Could it be that under the intervention of himself and the system, Hei Luomi's "protagonist halo" has been regained?

... Suddenly feel that the future is full of hope!

Naturally, there was no need to raise hands to vote, and several people chose the cave in the northeast corner without any objection.It's just that the continuous high-intensity rush made everyone very tired. After entering the cave, they didn't go far, and they found a relatively flat and dry ground tacitly, and sat down to rest on the spot.

"You go to bed first, and I'll watch over it," Xin said.Although no monsters have been found in the mountain so far, they should not be taken lightly.

"Let me do it." Cecil volunteered, "Xin, you have worked very hard, you should go and rest first."

"I……"

"Well, I think Xiao Xixi's proposal is quite appropriate." Erxi interrupted Xin and smiled at Cecil, "After all, Xiao Xixi has been sleeping for a long time on the road, right?"

"..."

Cecil suddenly had a bad premonition: falling asleep on this guy's back might become one of the most unbearable dark histories in his life...! !

Xin glanced at Essie, wondering if it was an illusion of the light of the fire, his indifferent blue eyes seemed to fluctuate slightly.He didn't refuse any more, nodded to Cecil, walked to the inner position, and lay down near the cave wall.

"Wake me up when the hourglass is full." Ersey pointed at Cecil the map before lying down. "Of course, if you really can't hold it, you can call me in advance."

"Shut up and sleep with you!" Cehir gave Erxi a hard look, and angrily moved his body to Xin's side, resolutely staying away from the young man.

Erxi smiled, and lay down next to Heromi—the resting place chosen by the black-haired boy was exactly the opposite of that of Xin and the others, with a distance between them, which was exactly what Erxi wanted.

"What's the matter?" After lying down, Ersie turned her head suspiciously when she felt that the people around her were staring at her.

"...You were helping him just now."

Ersie didn't understand: "What?"

Hei Luomi turned his head, folded his hands behind his head, and looked at the dark ceiling of the cave.

"Brother Er, you asked Cecil to watch the night first, isn't it just to let that iceberg face rest for a while? It looks annoying on the surface, but you actually care about him..."

The boy's voice sounded muffled, and Ersie almost thought for a moment that the other party was having a fight.

"You hate Xin?" Ersie asked curiously.

"Of course." The other party admitted generously, "I hate that kind of pretentious guy the most... I thought you would hate it too, Brother Er."

Erxi was convinced that it was not his illusion this time: this kid is definitely throwing a tantrum!Should it be said that you are still a child... But then again, you used to be [-] times more pretentious than Xin, okay?

"I really hate that kind of person." Erxi gave Heluomi a meaningful look, "But now is an extraordinary period, and Xin's strength is still good. If he wants to pass the exam, he must not fall behind."

If the "protagonist" is KO'ed, everyone else can just wash up and sleep!

"...It really wasn't my illusion."

"Ok?"

"Brother Er, you completely regard that person as the leader of the team...Why? Why are you so sure that he will take us out?"

"Uh..." Erxi was at a loss for words, feeling as embarrassed as if someone had cheated on an exam and was caught on the spot—I was just cheating on the trick, so why should I be so aggressive!

"...Actually, I'm not weak."

"Huh?" Ersie was still immersed in a guilty conscience and didn't recover.

"If you just want to pass this exam, I can do it too." The black-haired boy kept staring straight at the black dome, as if talking to himself, "You don't have to wrong yourself to be with that guy. Smile in front of you."

... What kind of abusive description is this!Who forced a smile!

Ersie held his forehead, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Is this the natural hostility of the real protagonist to the false protagonist?Otherwise, I have never seen Hei Luomi being so narrow-minded before...

Ah no.Ersie flinched slightly.

In fact, in some places... that guy is really so narrow-minded.

Suppressing the slight discomfort in his chest, Erxi deliberately put on a straight face, and roughly rubbed the boy's black hair: "Rest now, if you have time to think about these boring things, why don't you sleep a little longer!"

"Not at all..."

"Shut up. I'll go to bed first." Ersie interrupted the teenager's complaints unceremoniously, turned around, and left his back to the boy.He could feel the other party's gaze projected over, and he slowly moved away after a long time.

There seemed to be a sigh from somewhere in his heart, and Ersie closed his eyes tightly.

——I remembered something I hated again.

——Sure enough, if you want to completely forget, it's still... a bit difficult.

Silence soon permeated the entire cave, the extreme silence was like a rising tide, and one would feel an uncomfortable feeling similar to suffocation in the midst of it.Cecil subconsciously tugged at his neckline, and moved closer to the campfire.

It always feels like it's getting cold... I don't know if it's an illusion.

Just as the gray-haired boy was staring at the dancing flames in a daze, he suddenly heard the rustling of his clothes and raised his head vigilantly, only to find that the silver-haired young man in the opposite corner sat up.

"Woke up so soon?" Cecil glanced at the map laid by his feet, frowned and said to the man, "Hey, the time hasn't come yet."

The other party didn't answer him, but stood up straight.His movements were slow, even a little clumsy, like a baby learning to stand for the first time, and it took a lot of effort to stand up wobbly.

"Hello?" Cecil was dumbfounded, "What are you doing?"

Still no reply.The man stood still in place as if he hadn't heard it at all.

No matter how nervous he was, Cecil began to feel that something was wrong. He was just about to stand up, but someone gently pressed his shoulder.

"pungent?"

The blond boy who had already stood up at some point made a "shh" motion on his lips with his finger, and he signaled Cehir not to move yet, while he quietly walked to Ersie's side.

Cecil saw that even though Xin had already walked in front of Erxi, the silver-haired young man didn't respond at all—he kept his head up and his gaze was always looking straight ahead, but he still ignored Xin.At this time, the third person present also woke up—no, maybe the black-haired boy woke up earlier than them, but he kept staring at the young man after he sat up, with a look of vigilance and doubt on his face. His expression seemed to be watching the situation quietly.

Xin inspected it carefully again, his brows became more and more frowned, he suddenly turned around, walked up to Hei Luomi, grabbed his collar and lifted him up.

"what have you done?"

"I still want to ask you!" He Luomi also unceremoniously grabbed the other party's collar with his backhand, his eyes were gloomy.

Xinru's calm green eyes fluctuated violently, and his voice was extremely cold: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking..."

"Look! Where is he going?" Cecil's voice interrupted the dispute between Heromi and Xin. They both turned their heads at the same time, and saw the silver-haired young man taking steps and starting to walk out of the cave.

Hei Luomi and Xin looked at each other, and at the same time glared at each other viciously, let go of their hands at the same time, trotted to follow Erxi, and walked out together.

Although he faltered a bit at first, the silver-haired youth's movements quickly became smooth.If it weren't for the blank eyes and numb expression, at first glance it would look no different from a normal person.

"Is he sleepwalking?" Cecil, who had caught up, whispered in Xin's ear.

Xin shook his head, and glanced coldly at the black-haired boy who was following Erxi on the other side.

"Compared to sleepwalking... I feel more like being controlled by someone, like a puppet." Xin said slowly.

Hei Luomi sneered: "It's better for a guy with no common sense to keep his mouth shut. If he doesn't understand, he will pretend to understand. It's embarrassing."

"Hey, what are you talking about!" Not wanting anyone to slander his friend, Cehir glared immediately, but after meeting the other party's gaze, Cehir only felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart.

That look... is like the most bloodthirsty and terrifying beast.

For some unknown reason, Cecil felt that the spot on his head that had been bumped began to ache again.

Soon, Erxi walked out of the cave, and the three of them followed closely. When they stepped onto the wide black square again, everyone was stunned, and Cecil gasped even more, his voice trembling. .

"This... what's going on?!"

The square made of black bricks has completely changed its appearance at this time.

—it became a lake shimmering with blue light.

Although the ground below the square is still rough gravel, but above the square, it has completely become the surface of rippling blue water, which looks like a beautiful sapphire from a distance.

The three teenagers froze in place for a moment, but Erxi was still walking towards the square.The young man's eyes were always dull, but his walking speed gradually accelerated, as if something was calling him, and he was eager to come to the appointment.

Heluomi was the first to recover, and saw that Erxi had reached the edge of the square and was about to walk into the lake unconsciously. He was about to rush to stop people, but stopped soon.

Erxi's one foot had already stepped towards the lake, but he was not submerged by the lake water as Heluomi thought.

——The young man did not sink, but stepped on the lake, like walking on flat ground.

The three of them watched Erxi "walking" on the lake in astonishment. If it wasn't for the inability to cast magic in the illusion, they almost thought that the other party used wind magic to make the body float in the air.

"No, that's not a lake at all." Xin quickly realized, "It's... the strange spar we've seen before."

"Ah!" Cecil also reacted, "Yes, that's it!"

wrong.This is not the Devouring Magic Crystal.

Hei Luomi's gaze darkened.

He believes that no one knows this kind of evil spar better than himself. Although it looks very similar, and he can even vaguely feel the strange and gloomy cold air, it is not the spirit devouring that is covering the entire square floor at this moment. magic crystal.

The boy's eyes wandered around the square, and even took a few steps around the outside of the square, and finally found something strange.

There is a small stream gurgling in from the channel they first entered the square, but if you look closely, you will find that it is not a real river either—it flows under the ground, as if it is hidden under the skin. From this stream, Heluomi felt the familiar breath of the Soul-devouring Magic Crystal.

——They changed from icy solid crystals to flowing liquids.

No, rather than flowing, it is better to say that they are already "alive" - ​​just like conscious creatures, they flexibly avoid the ditches and ridges on the ground, climb up the steps of the square like swimming snakes, and then "flow" into the square, The black masonry was eroded away little by little until the entire square was dyed into a pure blue "lake".

This is obviously not a naturally formed phenomenon, but caused by someone's deliberate guidance.But... who the hell?

Who on earth dared to stare at his prey and snatch that person's consciousness before him?

... simply, unforgivable.

A trace of cruelty flashed in the dark eyes, and Hei Luomi glanced around gloomyly, and finally turned his gaze to the square again.Amidst the azure blue, only the two blank steles standing in the center of the square remained as before, abruptly and tenaciously, becoming the only two existences in the entire space that were not shrouded in blue waves.

Hei Luomi stared at the two stone tablets, wondering if it was an illusion, he found that the air around the stone tablets seemed to be slightly distorted, just like the light distortion that would appear around the burning flame.

But looking at it, Hei Luomi's pupils shrank suddenly.

Wait... This is not my illusion!The space around the stele has indeed been distorted!

He suddenly looked at Erxi who was still walking on the square, and he was getting closer and closer to the two white stone monuments.

"Stop him!"

Heluomi jumped onto the square and ran towards the young man quickly. He heard Xin and Cecil following behind him, and they were also running fast, but strangely, the sound of their footsteps disappeared soon It's like it was cut off suddenly.

Hei Luomi glanced back subconsciously, and found that the two were standing on the edge of the square. It seemed that there was an invisible barrier blocking them, and they couldn't even hear their voices. They could only judge from their mouth patterns that they were talking eagerly. What.

—we can't get in.

--Front.Look ahead.

Hei Luomi turned around quickly, and saw a black vortex floating in the air between the two blank stone tablets. It was like a big mouth slowly opening, no matter whether it was air, light, or even floor tiles. The energy of the spirit-eating magic crystal flowing under the stone was all rotated and sucked into this unfathomable black hole, and Erxi was only a few steps away from it.

"Stop!!"

He didn't understand why he was so nervous, and even his heart stopped for half a beat at that moment. Heluomi kicked the ground suddenly, and the sudden increase in speed shortened the distance between him and Erxi a lot.

But still not enough.

The silver-haired young man didn't seem to know the danger he was facing. He even stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the ever-expanding vortex.Hei Luomi's eyes suddenly flashed red, and he stretched out his hand to grab it hard. The blue crystal flow that was continuously absorbing energy from the black hole stopped for a moment, and a thick bone claw came out of the dim light on the ground. He emerged with a sound, entangled Ersie's feet, and stopped him from moving forward.

——But the outstretched hand of the young man has already touched the black hole.

Without any warning, the black vortex suddenly expanded to the size of a person, like a eating monster, it rushed towards Ersie and swallowed him completely.Hei Luomi rushed forward and grabbed the corner of the young man's clothes at the last moment. Unfortunately, before he could make any more reactions, a strong suction sucked him in, and the world spun around for a while. , went completely dark.

***

Ersie heard the voice again.

——The girl's beautiful and ethereal singing voice.

Like an incomparably long dream, abandoning all troubles, sorrows, and pains, as long as you listen to and follow the singing with all your heart, you will feel extremely relaxed and free.

There is nothing to restrain yourself, nothing to hold you back, nothing to bother you.This feeling of being above the whole world is unbelievably intimate, as if... the world should be like this.

Then Ersie slowly opened his eyes.

***

Still feeling good and happy, Ersie stood still, waiting for his eyes to adjust to the light around him.

The chaotic thoughts gradually became clear, and he remembered that he should lie down in the bare cave to rest, but what he saw before him was quite different from what he remembered.

This is a damp cave, with water constantly seeping down from the top of the cave, dripping and dripping onto the muddy ground, like a light rain.Fluorescent moss was attached to the wall of the cave. With this weak light source, Ersey saw someone half-kneeling behind him, with one hand still grabbing the hem of his clothes. Finish a strenuous exercise.

Ersie frowned.

He is familiar with this cave, and he is also very familiar with this half-kneeling person.

So... Are you still in a dream?

However, it's been a long time since I saw this guy in my dream.

……

Ah, really, I thought it was a sweet dream, but it turned out to be a nightmare.

Shaking her head secretly, Erxi looked around again, with a hint of nostalgia and complexity in her eyes.After contemplating for a moment, the young man started to walk deep into the cave.During this period, Erxi felt that the hem of his clothes was being pulled tightly by the person behind him again, but he didn't care, and easily flicked off the opponent's hand with his talent skills, and continued to move forward on his own.

This is my own dream, of course I have to decide by myself, and those who don't want to talk to me will not be wronged to talk to me, anyway, if I leave it alone, that guy will disappear soon.

——Just like in countless dreams in the past.

****Boundary Line of Reincarnation****

I thought that after discovering my identity as a demon, Heluomi, a righteous member of the human race, would be astonished as if he was facing a big enemy, no matter how bad he was, he would be very shocked, but he just looked at me curiously and asked.

"So... Er, your real identity is actually the rumored fallen Prince Erxi of the Demon Race?"

"Yeah." I responded calmly, but the bottom of my heart was filled with sadness—ahhhhhhhh! !I managed to sneak into the academy this time!It was hard to get on good terms with this guy! !In the end, the undercover mission failed again... If I hadn't been trapped in this shit-like garbage place for so long, causing my potion to fail, I would definitely not be able to show my flaws!

"Everyone says that Suo Ke, the third prince of the Demon Race, made a marriage contract with you, is that true?" He Luomi asked suddenly.

I:"……"

Me: "... Now that you know my real identity, is this the only thing you care about first?"

As a hero of the human race, the first reaction should be "what is the purpose of you, a prince of the demon race, pretending to be a human race and sneaking into the academy", right?As a result, he opened his mouth and asked for proof of the gossip!

"Yes." The other party was still extremely serious, nodded, "Please answer me."

...I really lost to this guy.

"Of course it's fake." I snorted, "I'm so sick of that guy, there's no time to hide."

"Really?" Heluomi looked at me suspiciously, "Then last time I said I was going to challenge Soko, you still stopped me, obviously trying to speak for him."

"..."

"You say you hate him, but you still care about him, don't you?"

The corners of my eyes twitched: "...What exactly are you trying to say?"

Hei Luomi raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a gentle and warm smile.

"After I go out from here, I'm going to challenge Soko." He said with a smile, "You can't stop me this time."

The black-haired young man stared straight at me with a smile on his face. For some reason, I suddenly felt a chill behind me.

"Are you going to have trouble with him?" I frowned.

In the past, it is not uncommon for Heluomi and Soko to fight each other, but this kind of battle can be avoided, unlike me, it is completely unavoidable.Of course, once these two people meet, Soko will definitely die, I have seen it several times.

"He is the prince of the demon clan. You two are fighting. If one fails, it will escalate into a century war between adult and demon clans. Have you considered the consequences?" I asked.

Heluomi shrugged: "Yes, I just have trouble with him."

"why?"

"Probably..." He smiled, and put his arm on my shoulder naturally, just like when he was in the academy, he was intimate and familiar, and he didn't change at all after knowing my identity as a demon.

"Because I'm a narrow-minded person." He said with a smile.
