"It's better than nothing." Sakurai Akira shook his head and said, "And they are only responsible for air fire support this time. They will retreat after the ammunition is used up."

"Anyway, I don't care. Mingjun, you are the combatant, and my life will be left to you." Miyamoto Mako smiled brightly.

Sakurai Akira nodded and said: "You use [Song of the Siren] to keep the corpse guard group, and leave the rest to me. The refined sulfur bomb will arrive in thirty minutes, and we will retreat and return to defend Tokyo."

"The plan is perfect. Are you prepared to fight to the death this time?"

"No, this place is too close to the city, and the tide is surging into the city. I'm worried that [Deep Blood] will be introduced into the city and accidentally injure innocent people." Akira Sakurai hesitated, "So I won't use it uncontrollably.

[Deep Blood], and my main task this time is to protect you."

"You have clear priorities and a high level of consciousness." Miyamoto Mako patted him on the shoulder and praised him, "I appreciate you very much!"

Sakurai Akira's eyes suddenly condensed and he said in a deep voice: "Here he comes!"

He has been paying attention to the sea in front of him. Under the turbulent waves, countless monsters entangled in ball shapes are approaching the coastline with the waves!

"Mingjun!" Mako suddenly shouted, her expression more serious than ever before, which frightened Sakurai Akira into thinking she had made some important discovery.

"When the time comes to confess my love to Teacher Nami, just give me platycodon flowers." Mako said seriously, with "This is a suggestion I got after careful consideration" on her face.

"..." Sakurai Akira took a deep breath and couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "You guy, can you stop talking about this kind of thing seriously at such a critical moment?"

"Don't you like it?" Miyamoto Mako blinked.

She suddenly came forward, leaned forward and whispered into Sakurai Akira's ear. Her long, slightly messy hair was blown into his face, making it tickle, but the fragrance could be smelled.

"I like platycodon flowers very much. If someone comes to me with platycodon flowers to express their love, maybe I will agree."

"By the way, Mingjun, there is something I have forgotten to tell you. I seem to have fallen in love with you a long time ago."

She put her hands behind her back, smiled sweetly, and slowly backed away, the refreshing fragrance gradually fading away.

There were flames all around, the pirate ship was crumbling, the broken Ferris wheel was slowly hitting the ground, the wooden roller coaster track was burning, and the carousel was looming in the sea of ​​fire. At this moment, all of these were embellishing her smile and becoming her background.

Akira Sakurai turned around slowly and stiffly, looking in disbelief at the girl behind her who said those three words so lightly.

Her hair is flying and her smile is bright and brilliant, as if the sun is always high in the sky and illuminates the world in her world, without any haze.

This girl has a mottled inner world. Sometimes she is proud and wanton, sometimes gentle and sweet, sometimes she dares to love and hate, which is always difficult to understand.

It seems that she is not used to letting herself regret, so she often faces the world frankly, and she seems to be unsociable because of her frankness.

Even during those years in Mount Kobe, her eyes never stayed in the mountains. She was always looking into the distance, towards the direction where the sea breeze blew, towards the source of the echo of the mountains, and towards the dandelion seeds floating in the air.

The direction...it seems that that is her destination.

A suffocation-like feeling surged into Akira Sakurai's heart, and it was as if her throat was blocked and she couldn't say a word.

He didn't know what to say, and luckily the girl didn't need his answer.

She injected the forbidden serum, walked to the highest place here, and stood facing the sea breeze.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still, with only the sea flowing and her hair flying in the wind.

In Sakurai Akira's eyes, even if all the lights in the world were put together at this moment, they would still be far from being able to compare with the fire rising into the sky behind her.

Her figure looked so slender and light against the firelight, but she seemed to be standing at the center of the world, shining with enough brilliance to illuminate the entire world.

She opened her lips lightly, and the invisible realm spread out, echoing between the sky and the sea, like the last elegy.

That is--

Do not forget me.
