I, The Giant of the Imperial Palace, Travel Through the Heavens!

The president of the student union of Pojun Academy, Rachel, Todo Toka!

Currently the No. 1 swordsman in Pojun Academy is also the strongest swordsman in Pojun Academy.

She was the semi-finalist of the last Seven Star Sword Dance Festival, but she only lost to last year's Seven Star Sword King Zhu Xingdayi.

He was the strongest swordsman in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival last year.

At the same time, he was also the player who eliminated Shizuku Kurogane before.

"Looks like there's a good show to watch, Ikki!"

Standing up, he patted Kurotetsu Ikki on the shoulder, Emiya Shirou said with a smile, "Come on, Ikki!"

"Ah! I understand!"

After hearing Emiya Shirou's words, Kurotetsu Kazuki clenched his palms together tightly.

Todo Toka, of course Kakki Kurogane knew her strength.

But even so, there was still no worry or fear in Kurogane Kakki's heart, only endless excitement.

If you want to ask why, it is!

"Since the moment I saw her, I have wanted to duel with her!"

Kurogane Kakki said firmly.

In the dormitory at night.

Emiya Shirou, who was lying on the bed and chatting with someone far away in the dessert shop, glanced at Kurogane Kazuki who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed and rested, suddenly asked: "How are you, are you confident?"

"Do you think you can defeat Leiqie Dongtang Daohua and get the right to represent the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival?"

After hearing Shirou Emiya's question, Kazuki Kurotsuke opened his eyes and said lightly, "Not at all. Todo-senpai's reputation as the strongest is definitely not false."

"Facing her like that, even I would feel unconfident!"

As he said that, Kurogane Kazuki once again recalled the time when Okutama and Todo Toka were cooking together.

At that time, the words he had with Yuxie Bubble are still unforgettable to him.

"You said you want to know the powerful source of Daohua, I can tell you!"

Faced with Kurotetsu Ikki's inquiry, Yuxi Bubble stopped what he was doing, and said seriously to Kurotetsu Ikki: "What kind of place do you think the nursery school is?"

"It's where the homeless kids live."

"That's what it means literally, but the so-called homelessness can have various situations. Some children lose their parents due to accidents or disasters, or are abandoned by their parents."

"But it's all good. What's worse, some children were almost killed by their parents, and finally were forcibly taken away by the public authorities. In short, there are all kinds of situations."

"By parents?"

"Well. Then, a child with a complicated background came to our nursery school. Because of him, the atmosphere in the nursery school was not very good at that time. Obviously, they were children with similar circumstances, but they hurt each other and got angry because of a little thing. Scold, everyone is in pain."

"And Dao Huaming's experience is very similar to theirs, but she always tries to smile at them. She reads picture books for children younger than her, or cooks delicious dishes for the dean. Although the dean is very good , but the cooked food is unpalatable, so everyone is very happy. Hahaha."

"Sister Daohua is very good at taking care of people."

"She used to be that kind of person, always taking care of everyone. She also treated the child who was almost killed by her parents as equals."

"That kid was very rough, and the others couldn't do anything about him. He was almost in a state of collapse, and even hurt Daohua time and time again, but Daohua didn't abandon him until the end."

"Thanks to Daohua, that child was able to go back to the right path again and regain the emotions of being a human being. So the child is still very grateful to Daohua and likes her very much."

Yuxie Bubble lowered its head and intermittently narrated the scene of that year.

And his tone would switch back to the first person from time to time.

Kazuki Kurogane knew very well that the child who was almost killed by his parents should be Yuxie Bubble himself.

"And that child asked Dao Hua one day. Why is Dao Hua so strong? He is very concerned. Dao Hua's experience is the same as that of himself who lost his parents and the children in the kindergarten, and he is also a child. Why is she still How can you love someone like this?"

"But Daohua answered him like this: 'My parents gave me a lot of love. Although the time I spend with them is very, very short compared with ordinary families, my parents have given me a lot of love. Smiles and affection.'

‘These memories continued to sustain me after my parents passed away. One of the most important things my parents taught me is to love others deeply, and this is also my favorite thing. '

‘So I also want to be like my parents, able to make other children laugh happily, bring them good memories, and hope these memories can become their pillars. '"

then.

"Dao Hua is just as she said, even though she has left the nursery now, she still continues to bring smiles and courage to the children of 'Ruo Ye's House'."

"She has become the nation's leading student knight of strength—Rachel, and continues to be active on the battlefield, and she proves by herself that even if we lose our parents, we can still become powerful people."

Hearing this, Ikki Kurogane finally understood the meaning of the Gouji Bubble.

The source of Dongtang Daohua's strength is "goodwill".

Not for oneself, but for a third party, in order to exert unparalleled power.

This is Dongtang Daohua, the soul of this girl.

"Student, you are indeed very strong, beyond my imagination. I am not strong enough to be your enemy, and even the other side may be a little dangerous against you. But you can't win Daohua like this."

"Dao Hua's toughness is on another level, because the girl knows that once she loses, it will make many people feel sad. So she must never lose, and she must never back down. The burden that the girl bears is you Totally incomparable."

Hearing the words, Kurogane Ikki fell silent for a moment.

He just shifted his gaze from the imperial foam to Todo Toka who was beside him. Watching Dongtang Daohua happily cooking, thinking quietly.

Those slender shoulders carry the expectations and wishes of many people.

And Dongtang Daohua responded to their expectations.

"I have never lived up to other people's expectations."

Kurogane Kakki firmly believes in his own value and has come all the way to the present.

Kurogane Ikki neither relies on others nor fights for others, just to achieve his ideal self.

Therefore, Kurogane Kakki's sword doesn't have the heavy burden that Mizuki Bubble said. His sword has never lodged other people's expectations.

This fact turned into some kind of invisible black mist, gradually spread, and then wrapped tightly around Ikki's mind.

And questioned Kurogane Ikki:

Can your feather-light sword really defeat her?

The previous question made Ikki Kurogane very confused, because his sword really did not have other people's expectations.

But that was before.

Now, Kurogane Kakki could clearly sense the expectations accumulated on his sword.

Yes, that was the expectation of his companions and those affected by his sword.

Their expectations were resting on Kurotetsu Ikki's sword, waiting for his response.

"Although I don't have much confidence in defeating her, I will not lose!"

Kurotetsu Kakki's voice was full of affirmation.

"Yeah?"

Looking at the back of Kurogane Kazuki, Emiya Shirou said with a smile: "Then do you need me to give you pre-battle counseling?"

"unnecessary!"

Looking at the moon outside the window, Kakki Kurogane's eyes were full of fighting spirit.

"I don't know how many times I have played the simulated battle with Senior Sister Dongtang in my mind. What I need now is not her information, but to break through myself!"

"Then complete the evolution in battle!"
