The Second Generation of Knights Encountering Demons Reappears

Iron Fist: Well, except for that piece of trash Beryl.

Pepe: Hahaha, I hope so too. He is such an interesting and reliable junior.

Game master Kazuo-senpai: Humph, just average!

Aoi: Are you the Paradox Pokémon Iron Tsundere?

The aftertaste of victory began to spread in the forum, and most of the audience felt satisfied with this miracle caused by Fujimaru Ritsuka...

Cancer of the Earth: Well, the perfect ending, today’s plot ends here!

Cancer of the Earth:…

Cancer of the Earth: TNND, it’s over! Please finish it quickly! ! !

Some viewers began to press the buttons on their devices frantically, and some were even more violent and even smashed the playback device in front of them.

But it was useless, the plot continued.

[When Fujimaru Ritsuka came back to his senses, he was already standing on the "coast" with only gray and white.

Looking at her palms that had lost all color, a glimmer of understanding flashed in the girl's golden eyes.

Then, she took steps.

Without hesitation, he started running towards the endless deep sea.

"Patta! Patta! Patta!!!"

The steps she took became harder and harder, Chaldea's specially made combat boots picked up the gravel on the beach, and the girl desperately tried to rush into the sea.

--hurry up! Hurry up! Must be before that person appears...

"tread!"

The steps suddenly stopped, and in the end the girl was one step too late.

In front of her, the young man who had also turned gray had stood at the junction of the shore and the sea at some point, blocking her in front of her.

The moment she saw the golden color that was so similar to her own, Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression twisted.

"What...are you doing here..."

"..."

"Don't stand in front of my..."

"..."

"you……"

His voice was so trembling that he could no longer speak complete sentences, and his nasal voice was filled with a cry that made the listener heartbroken.

Fujimaru Ritsuka understands.

Long before the decisive battle with Kirshtalia, it started from the moment when her heartfelt confession was interrupted by the oath.

Only the last sentence, he didn't let himself say it for a moment.

Fujimaru Ritsuka already understood what the man meant—Chen vowed to deny his wish.

——Yeah, how could he let himself say it?

——Because he didn’t want to make an agreement with himself that he couldn’t fulfill.

Fujimaru Ritsuka slowly walked towards Chen Shi, roared angrily and punched the man in the chest hard.

The fists that could easily knock him to the ground in the past could not shake his feet this time.

But even so, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not stop. He punched Chen Shi's chest with one punch after another, leaving red marks on Chen Shi's chest, making his fists tremble.

From anger to pleading, and finally to weakness.

Fujimaru Ritsuka knelt down on the beach, and her slipping hands grabbed the hem of Chen Shi's clothes as if grasping some life-saving straw.

Tears finally flowed from the girl's eyes.

This girl, who had never even cried when facing a powerful enemy like Kirshtalia, burst into tears at this moment.

However, she bit her lip stubbornly and did not reveal her cry to her brother.

Looking at the girl with trembling shoulders in front of him, Chen Yao's eyes flashed with tenderness.

"Ritsuka, please..."

A jade-like finger touched her lips, as if to interrupt her speech in return, the girl forced a calm voice.

"Shh~"

Taking a deep breath, Fujimaru Ritsuka raised his head again and smiled with his red eyes.

"I really can't help it. Since my attempt to escape failed, let me do the talking~"

"you……"

"Please! Listen to me, okay?"

A somewhat uncontrollable roar interrupted Chen Shi's speech for the second time. Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand holding the hem of his clothes became tighter and tighter, and the burst of power actually pulled Chen Shi to his knees.

It was also at this time that Chen Shi, who had never dared to formally look at Fujimaru Ritsuka since arriving here, saw Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes clearly for the first time.

It was a pair of golden eyes that were as mysterious as his own.

Anger, sadness, helplessness, longing...

These eyes contained countless emotions that Chen Zhao expected, but at the same time, there was also a touch of understanding that surprised Chen Zhao.

Yes, it is the emotion called understanding.

Fujimaru Ritsuka still exceeded Chen Shi's expectations. He thought that she would be unable to understand his actions like in the past, and he was even mentally prepared to be resented by her for the rest of his life.

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka has grown up.

The experiences along the way allowed her to complete her transformation from a child to an adult, and she was no longer the girl who needed to be taken care of.

As early as the moment he knew Chen Shi's plan, Fujimaru Ritsuka put himself in Chen Shi's shoes and thought about it from Chen Shi's perspective, and then came to the exact same conclusion as Chen Shi.

While feeling angry and unwilling, she helplessly understood him.

This is bound to happen.

Before taking that kick, Fujimaru Ritsuka had made up his mind and said goodbye to the opponent.

It is precisely because of this...

"Thank you, brother. I'm actually very happy during this time~"

Intermittently, Fujimaru Ritsuka confided to Chen Shi.

"Being able to live and fight with my dead brother again is like a dream. To be honest, I would wake up in the middle of the night with fright, fearing that it was all just a dream...

I, more than anyone else, hope you can always be by my side..."

As he spoke, Fujimaru Ritsuka's tone could no longer hide the sadness, and the bitterness in it made Chen Shi's body begin to tremble unconsciously.

"But that's impossible. My brother has been dead for a long time, and one day he will wake up from his dream. Neither you nor I can be bound by the past.

During this time, I have developed many new bonds. Mash is very reliable and gentle, Shirou-san cooks deliciously, Sakura is actually very cute, and the doctor and everyone...

Everyone is a very good person... I want, for the first time in my life, I have something I really want to do... I want to create a future with them... So..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka stretched out her hand forward and gently placed it on Chen Shi's chest.

"Please help me, brother... Please give my selfish sister a helping hand and give me a chance to create a future."

"..."

——Really, I didn’t even give my brother a chance to be cool.

Chen Shi smiled bitterly and hugged the other person, pressing the face that looked like a cat from crying to his chest.

——No longer passively accepts the sacrifices of others, but chooses to take the initiative to bear my own death. She is such a selfish sister that makes me proud.

Feeling the warmth in his arms, Chen Shi nodded softly.

Then, the palm on his chest exerted slight force, and the two people hugging each other separated.

Under the witness of Fujimaru Ritsuka, Chen Shi fell backwards and sank into the quiet sea behind him.

A life that is about to reach its end has gained a new continuation under the burning of another life.

…

"!?"

The golden eyes suddenly opened, and what came into view was the worried eyes of Mashu and everyone else.

The familiar ceiling reminded Fujimaru Ritsuka of the day when Fuyuki's singularity was isolated. On that day, he seemed to have experienced similar treatment when he woke up from his coma.

Only this time, the number of companions gathered around her increased to the point where they could fill her room.

"Ma Xiu, what are you doing?"

"That's great, senior!"

Mashu burst into tears and smiled, unable to restrain his excitement, he stepped forward and hugged Fujimaru Ritsuka who had just stood up.

The people around him didn't stop him and all showed similar smiles.

"Senior, you fell into a coma after defeating Mr. Kirshtalia. Your body was about to dissipate at that time. If Mr. Chen Shi hadn't said that he had a way, I would really..."

At this point, Matthew couldn't help crying again.

In response, Fujimaru Ritsuka just patted her back gently and showed a doting smile.

"It's okay, am I okay? Everything is over."

A hint of loneliness flashed through the smile, and Fujimaru Ritsuka took out the fighting spirit with a flip of his hand. Only the familiar mean laughter was no longer in his still fiery eyes.

"Yes, everything is over..."

"Fujimaru-kun..."

Among the people present, only Romani and Leonardo da Vinci realized something immediately, but just when they were about to speak, Fujimaru Ritsuka just put his index finger on his lips and quietly shook his head at them. shook his head.

"It's okay, I just need to take a rest."

Putting away his fighting spirit, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked out the window at the blue sky of Fuyuki City, and the loneliness in his eyes turned into expectations for the future.

"After all, I have already made an agreement with my brother~\
