Who decreed that rivals in love could only be humans?

　　"Nothing to hide..."

　　Ryota sighed and said:

　　"I exterminated ghosts before..."

He told Shirogane Papa and Miyuki what happened at the hotel earlier.

　　Everyone in the Shirogane family knows about the existence of ghosts and psykers. Therefore, there is no barrier to topic exchange in this area.

　　While Ryota was narrating, he also opened the news on his phone and pointed out.

　　"I didn't expect something like this to happen..."

　　After Miyuki finished listening, his expression became slightly complicated.

　　Sad... that's not the problem. It seems that listening to stories and listening to the tragic things that happened to other people can't bring much resonance.

　　After all, human joys and sorrows are not interrelated.

　　He was just a little worried that Ryota, who had been through this incident, would embarrass himself.

　　For example, he thought that he was the one who killed the little girl.

　　"Do you regret it?"

　　Suddenly, Shirogane Papa asked Ryota.

　　"I have the most valid and reasonable reasons, so I don't regret it."

　　After Ryota finished answering, he shook his head: "But the human heart can't hold it. It runs completely logically. This may be the weakness of the human heart."

　　The little girl's spirit body dies at Shinobu's hands. Even though it was the damage dealt by the Ming Hong Sword that created the conditions for killing.

　　But Ryota can't be sure, whether the little girl will be sent to be reincarnated by Ming Hong Sword. To be honest, he was a little afraid of meeting the little girl's parents now.

　　Both in the real world and online.

　　"Ryota."

　　After Shirogane Papa called Ryota, his tone became serious: "Things that can be changed, we have to take action."

　　As if he was conveying life experiences, his voice was very solemn: "But you must learn to accept things that cannot be changed."

　　"Accept..."

　　"Yes, please. Only when you accept it can you truly let go."

　　Shirogane Papa stood up, approached Ryota, and patted him on the shoulder: "In fact, the truth is always very simple, but there's no point in just teaching it. You need real experience to have a foundation of understanding. You've only taken half a step, so how about trying what I'm saying?"

　　"Thank you, dad."

　　Family worries make Ryota feel better. The corner of his mouth smiled, and he said: "But we are each other in this. Since you have to accept things that can't be changed, then Father, you should probably sign a divorce agreement, right?"

　　Shirogane Papa: "..."

　　"I have to go live today."

　　After Shirogane Papa muttered something, he ignored Ryota's ridicule and Miyuki's disdainful glances behind him, and walked towards the second floor.

　　"Things that can't be changed, I have to learn to accept…"

　　Ryota let out a light sigh.

　　...

　　After breakfast, Ryota left for Hayasaka's villa. The goal, of course, is not to play with Hayasaka, but to train yourself.

　　The Second Bridge has been completed and is stable. However, before unlocking the Third Bridge, it was necessary to practice swordsmanship suitable for the Second Bridge.

　　He now only had three thousand points left. It's not enough to go straight into the process of gathering emotions before building the Third Bridge. Therefore, it is necessary to take risks to accumulate points further. And the adventures are sure to have dangerous battles again.

　　He really had to be ready beforehand.

　　Fortunately, Ming Hong's petite body seemed to hide a treasure house in the sword way.

　　No matter how many he chose, he couldn't finish them.

　　After arriving at the destination. In order not to disturb Hayasaka's sleep, Ryota didn't knock on the door, and immediately opened the door with the key.

　　But what surprised him was. When the door opened, Hayasaka's figure came into view.

　　She stood at the entrance, dressed in a black-and-white maid outfit, gave off the character of a hot girl, and said calmly and respectfully: "Welcome back, master."

　　Ryota was stunned, and looked up and down Hayasaka.

　　Hayasaka, who was dressed as a maid, revealed a completely different temperament from the past, which gave him a very fresh feeling.

　　It wasn't a nerdy maid outfit with a strong sense of nerd, but a very formal attire.

　　Ryota shifted his gaze slightly, and the girl's small legs wrapped in white stockings came into view.

　　"You wake up really early on the weekends."

　　"Yes, I have been waiting for master's arrival."

　　"Why are you wearing a maid outfit?"

　　"Today I am the master's maid, feel free to give me any orders."

　　"Speaking human language."

　　"...Cooperate a bit, Shiro-chan."

　　Hayasaka grabbed Ryota's arm and pulled him into the dining room. A delicious breakfast is served at the dining table.

　　"You came to practice these few days, I thought you wouldn't be absent today, so I did this."

　　"Don't be too troublesome."

　　Ryota pulled a stool and sat down. Without saying anything about his eating, he started to enjoy his breakfast.

　　Hayasaka sat across from him.

　　"How? Does this outfit look good?"

　　"Hmm..." Ryota said honestly, "It feels very reliable."

　　"Of course, I've been a maid for ten years, so you can rely on me like this."

　　Hayasaka smiled, and continued the posture most frequently used in communication.

　　"Why are you suddenly wearing a maid outfit today?" Ryota asked.

　　"I haven't worn it in a long time, and I'm not used to it, so I took it off and put it on."

　　Hayasaka said seriously: "The transition from a 10-year maid career to an ordinary person is not easy to achieve. The mask doesn't come off easily after wearing it for a long time, so this shape still needs to appear occasionally. Shiro-chan had promised me before that you would help me complete this transition together, so you should cooperate well with me. "

　　"Up to you." Ryota gave her a blank look.

　　Hayasaka smiled: "Then do you want to go back on your words?"

　　"Of course not, there aren't many opportunities to use pretty maids for free."

　　Ryota leaned back on the chair and was about to tease Hayasaka and order her to do something embarrassing.

　　Suddenly, a red light flashed in the restaurant. Next to Ryota, Ming Hong appeared, she took her breakfast and ate it quickly.

　　"Eat slowly, I will not fight with you."

　　Ryota patted Ming Hong's head.

　　He was used to Ming Hong appearing, so of course he wouldn't be surprised by anything now.

　　Ming Hong stared at Ryota, her eyes blank. Seemingly trying to understand the meaning of his words. A few seconds later, she ate her breakfast again, at a slower pace.

　　Hayasaka on the other side looked surprised.

　　This was the first time she met Ming Hong officially.

　　"Is he Sword Consciousness? Can she get out and move?"

　　"Of course, if not, who do you think taught me swordsmanship?"

　　Ryota smiled, and looked at Ming Hong with caring eyes.

　　That gaze made Hayasaka feel something was wrong. How should she put it, it didn't look like he was just staring at a child.

　　Even the movement of touching the head is very gentle.

　　Uh... Hayasaka suddenly realized something.

　　Could it be that this sword was also her enemy?
