[Noragami] I was not there

Kannaki endured it more and more, and finally hit the wall with his fist, and the wall fell to the ground like a few pieces of lime.

Under Nanami Ankiko's horrified eyes, Kanagi grabbed her hand and pushed it forward: "Listen carefully yourself, what is the monster you are talking about!"

Ankiko Qihai fell to the ground. Even with the protection of the barrier, she felt that this distance was already the limit for herself. She trembled uncontrollably and struggled to turn around and crawl back.

Only halfway through the climb, she heard the most familiar voice behind her repeating non-stop——

"I made Ankiko cry...I can't forgive...I made Ankiko sad...I can't forgive...Ankiko's happiness...I will protect..."

Non-stop, non-stop, non-stop...

She stopped moving, digging her fingernails hard on the tiles, and said with trembling lips, "Dad..."

Many fragments suddenly flashed in Nanami Ankiko's mind, mother's early death, father and daughter depend on each other, father never remarried for so many years, raised her single-handedly, although he was a rude truck driver, he treated her exceptionally He was so careful, even in order to find her to die unexpectedly, he still helped her lie such a stupid lie after death, and now he became like this because of her.

Perhaps it is because of her father's consistent dedication that she feels that everything is as it should be.

"...I'm sorry." Nanami Ankiko's tears slid down her cheeks, and the tears were printed on the mask, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Ankiko Nanami finally truly regretted it at this time. In order to pursue the happiness that did not belong to her at all, she lost the really important things.

"Dad! That's enough! It's all my fault!" Nanami Ankiko stood up and slapped the barrier forcefully, "Stop!"

Qihai was hearing her daughter's voice, no matter what time, he would never miss it, his body paused instinctively, almost all arms were still at this moment, and this momentary pause was enough for Yato to stab her with a knife. Entering his body, the viscous sound made by the blade piercing through the body was particularly ear-piercing, even Yato, who was cutting the knife, was stunned for a moment.

"dad--!"

The barrier disappeared in an instant, and Ankiko Nanami fell to the ground due to inertia. She looked at her father's body that fell to the ground, and hurriedly got up and stumbled over.

It seemed that there was a lot to say, but she didn't know where to start. She could only say "I'm sorry", but she saw that her father's body gradually disappeared into the night sky.

"I'm sorry, Ankiko... Dad can't protect you anymore." Perhaps because the power of the monsters that merged into one is gradually lost, Qi Haizheng's eyes have become clear.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...Dad, I'm sorry...I know I'm wrong, I really know I'm wrong..." Qihai Ankiko broke down in tears, and big tears fell to the ground, "I always thought that even if I became Another person, as long as he can have the love of Mr. Hiiragi, he will be happy, now I know that I was wrong...I am too naive..."

"An Jizi..." Qi Hai lowered her head and reached out her hand to touch her daughter's, but she took it back after all, "Face...face..."

"It's okay, Dad. If the operation was unsuccessful before, I was afraid that Dad would expose my lies. I actually went to have plastic surgery based on Honma Nanami's face, and I'm still recovering. But I'm afraid... it will take me forever With this face." Nanami Ankiko smiled wryly, Hiiragi knew that she was not Honma Nanami, and her face became meaningless, she reached out and took off the mask she had been wearing on her face, Pretty severe edema, some parts haven't even had stitches removed, "It's ugly, isn't it?"

Qihai's muscles on his face have begun to collapse because of restraining his running body, but he still curled up the corners of his mouth bravely, showing a sincere smile: "What are you talking about, in Dad's eyes, Ankiko is always the best beautiful."

Ankiko Nanami was stunned, trying to rush over desperately but was stopped by a knife——

"In this state, you'd better not touch him."

Although Ye Dou could not bear it in his eyes, he was still decisive when he drew the knife, cutting Qihai Ankiko and Qihai Zheng on both sides.

"It's okay, Ankiko." Qihai was slowly turning his face away to look at Yato, he knew that he was reaching his limit, "Please, use your knife to end my crippled body."

Yato glanced at the slightly shaking Hongqi in his hand, then squeezed the handle of the knife tightly: "...I did hear your wish."

With a turn of his gaze, the Taidao was raised high and dropped cleanly, the only thing he could do for Qi Haizheng was to end all of this as quickly as possible.

"Cha-!"

Under the night, the monster's huge body was cut in two by a sharp knife, and the Shihua in the Roppongi area came to an end with Nanami Ankiko's heart-wrenching cry.

Nanami was bowing deeply to Yato and the others to express her gratitude in the white light, and then turned into a giant crystal in the air together with the monster's body, and disappeared completely. Only the last words to her daughter floated in the air, but gone With the Wind--

"An Jizi, Dad is gone, you must take good care of yourself."

<<

Kannaki stared at the scene in front of her in a daze, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time. She saw Yato retracting the knife and Hirone transformed into a human form again, but her complexion was abnormally unwell.

Yeto walked up to her in silence, put one hand on the top of her head, and said in a low and hoarse voice, "It's over."

"……Um."

But the question remains—

"Where is Honma Nanami?"

Among all the people present, there is only one person who knows the answer, can have the confidence to pretend to be Nanami Honma, and can even confront Hiiragi with things that only Nanami Honma knows. All this can only be done because Nanami Honma is helping .

Nanami Ankiko knew that everyone was waiting for her answer at this moment, and there was really no need to continue to hide it now, but it would be better for Nanami Honma to tell the truth: "Nanami Honma is—"

"it's here."

The female voice who picked up Nanami Ankiko appeared from behind, which made everyone stunned.

They turned their heads and saw that the person walking out of the ThreeLove store was wearing the most common logistics attire, her hands were tugging at the corners of her clothes because of anxiety, her head was buried very low, and because of this, half of the people with white hair looked at the top especially clearly.

"...Grandmother?!" Yato's face was as ugly as eating a fly.

Even Kanaki was dumbfounded, the person who came was the cleaning lady from ThreeLove store, who had met her several times.

As if mustering up all his courage, the old man raised his head after a brief silence and continued to say——

"That's right, I, I am Honma Nanami."

Nanami Ankiko walked up to Honma Nanami, took a deep breath and let it out slowly, she raised her head and said, "I prove that she is indeed Honma Nanami."

Hiiragi looked at the employee in front of him whom he had hardly seen, the old and unfamiliar face, but upon closer inspection, it was indeed the face he was most familiar with——

"Seven seas?"

<<

It seems that it is time to tell a story, but this story is not as complicated as imagined. The protagonists are two women named Nanami, one named Nanami Honma and the other named Nanami Ankiko.

As I said before, Nanami Ankiko is just an ordinary clerk, and she has fallen in love with him after only a few contacts with Hiiragi, and it is completely true that she borrowed money to go to nightclubs, but what her father Nanami said about becoming a lover with him All the words are the product of his own delusion, and there is not much intersection with Hiiragi himself.

Honma Nanami, on the contrary, is a veritable daughter of a famous family. After her parents died early, she left her a huge amount of property and a company under her name. Later, she came to ThreeLove with her friends, and she had an accidental like-mindedness with Hiiragi, and soon developed into a Lover, but during this period, one thing has been making her more and more uneasy——

"I, I'm actually nine years older than Hiiragi." Honma Nanami, who couldn't speak anyway, let go of her burden at this moment. After she glanced sideways at her lover, she touched her face and continued. Said, "Maybe I can still rely on beauty and cosmetics to maintain my beauty, but nine years is not a distance that can be easily erased. The more I indulge in this relationship, the more I can't ignore these nine years. I know that one day I won't be able to hide it."

Hongyin raised his hand at an untimely moment, and asked with his eyes turned red: "Well... this is more than nine years old, it must be Jiu's grandma... Ah! It hurts... Axi, screw me What's the waist for?"

Kannaki coughed dryly: "I'm sorry, please continue."

Honma Qihai adjusted her emotions, and continued to narrate her experience with a hoarse voice: "Later... I, who was always feeling sad about my age, met a person, a person who might be able to completely solve my troubles."

"Who?"

"Time Thief."

"..." Kanaki felt that a string in his head was broken, his head shook, and asked, "What do you say...?"

"Time thief." Honma Nanami affirmed what she said just now with a heavy tone, "A person who likes to gamble with others with stolen time."

Kannaki looked at Yato with a paralyzed face, thinking that if he asked a strange person about something strange, he would definitely get an answer, but what he saw was that the other party looked back with the same paralyzed face, with a standard shocked face.

"Because I heard that his gambling luck is very bad, so I mustered up the courage to go to him, but I didn't expect that I lost all my money. I lost 40 years in just one hour." Ben Ben Jian Qihai covered her face with her hands, as if she still didn't want to believe this, she couldn't help but started to sob.

But even if he didn't want to believe it anymore, Nanami Honma did age overnight, and this momentary change was just witnessed by Nanami Ankiko.

Ankiko Nanami is obsessed with Hiiragi, and naturally she also noticed that Nanami Honma is Hiiragi's lover. She is crazily jealous of this woman who has what she has dreamed of. From a very early age, she has been silently following and observing Honma Qihai unconsciously imitated her dress, words and deeds, precisely because she happened to witness the misfortune of Qihai Honma.

Nanami Ankiko thought that God gave her a chance.

After that, she used various excuses to blackmail Honma Nanami, hoping to replace her existence by herself, and possess Hiiragi in another way.

But such a ridiculous and sad plan was accepted by Honma Nanami, maybe she just wanted to keep the feeling of "Hiroya loves Honma Nanami".

Then Nanami Ankiko, who got the acquiescence of the other party, used Honma Nanami's money to do plastic surgery, and Honma Nanami went to work as a cleaner in his shop because she couldn't let go of Hiiragi.

Finally, it evolved into the current situation.

……

Kanagi has to admit that the two women who are crazy about love do have the power to destroy the world, but until now, she has no way to say a serious word, after all, the consequences will be reaped, and all they can do now is regret endlessly.

After explaining the cause and effect, Qihai Ankiko paid Qihaizheng's five yuan sesame oil money, and all the thousands of words after that turned into a deep bow and a repeated "I'm sorry" thousands of times.

Before leaving, Nanami Ankiko's last words to Kanaki and the others were——

"Spending my life with a face that doesn't belong to me is actually the biggest punishment for me."

……

On the other side, Nanami Honma still couldn't face her lover calmly. She was tearing at the hem of her clothes anxiously, then raised her head and asked Yato, "Are you a god?"

Ye Dou frowned slightly, but his lips were still sharp: "It's true."

"Then... please, my wish - please get back the 40 years I lost."

The five-yuan coin in Nanami Honma's hand shone brightly in the night.
