I'll kill you after I finish this game!

The two people, along with a penguin, suddenly disappeared from the port area and even the small world.

A few seconds after the group moved away, a large number of dark figures sprang out from various corners.

The manhole covers were all opened, and then several petite figures darted out.

"Boom!"

A few soft hissing sounds of smoke erupted, and the kittens that emerged from the corner revealed their beautiful figures as the smoke dissipated.

The Ironbloods, led by Frederick and Bismarck, looked at their sisters with twitching eyes.

Members from the Royal Navy, Eastern Empire, Sakura Empire, Eagle Union, and other factions were almost all present.

The ship girls, gathered together, looked at their companions with slightly embarrassed expressions.

They were all fully aware of each other's actions and intentions, but they hadn't expected so many ship girls to be paying attention to the commander and taking action.

"...I can no longer sense the Commander's presence; he has already left."

Behind her stood a shy unicorn, her radiant and beautiful face bearing an elegant and noble smile, who was the first to speak, breaking the awkward silence.

The surrounding ship girls looked at each other, all eager to gossip about the commander's love life, but now their main target had vanished...

"Ahem, now that the commander has left, everyone should get back to what they need to do."

At Frederick's prompting, Bismarck spoke again, giving everyone an excuse to leave. After all, the commander had left, so why were they still standing there awkwardly?

"I just remembered I haven't finished playing my game yet, so I'm off!"

"I'm going to take a bath..."

"I almost forgot that they have important business to attend to today. Excuse me."

"......"

Once someone started it, all the ship girls left one by one with awkward yet polite smiles, making excuses to leave.

After everyone had left, only Dafeng, her face blank and twitching, remained standing there, staring blankly at her sisters receding like a tide, truly unable to believe it.

So it turns out I wasn't the only one on this mission; you guys came as a group to spy on the commander, didn't you?

And don't think I didn't see you, Kaohsiung and Atago who just quietly left. You seem so proper on the surface, but you actually joined the operation behind my back.

And you said you couldn't disturb the Commander's date? Pshaw! I don't believe you for a second, you repressed pervert!

******************

It was already night in the reality outside the block world. In reality, the Night King had been locked inside Razer's belly for several days.

However, things change when you add the flow of time. If you calculate carefully, the Night King, who doesn't remember the passage of time, spent several months in the Rezer's stomach dimension universe.

In order to take care of Xiaoyou's feelings, Lei Zhe has been trying his best to make her happier these past few days, at least to give her some respite when faced with such difficult choices.

This date won't end sadly, that's the promise Lei Zhe made to Xiao You.

The moon was not obscured by any clouds at night, and it shimmered with a hazy light in the darkness.

Lei Zhe, Xiao You, and the Night King returned to the abandoned graveyard. The Night King, still in penguin form, felt like he was back home in this eerie place. In the past, when he was in a bad mood and couldn't calm down, he would find a similar place to distract himself.

But looking down at his penguin-like body, the Night King had to look up even to see Xiaoyou. He helplessly looked up at Lei Zhe and said:

"Can you turn me back?"

"Let's leave it like this. Didn't you say you really like penguins? This will satisfy your wish and won't make You feel bad if you see your true self."

Lei Zhe glanced at the little penguin, reached out and grabbed it, placing it on a relatively intact tombstone.

Then, looking at Xiaoyou, whose expression was complicated, he reached out and took her small hand, saying:

"You, whether to let go or continue to hurt each other, I can only let you choose. Whatever choice you make, I will face it with you."

If he hadn't known the true nature of the Night King, Reiji would have definitely eliminated him or imprisoned him forever in his own dimensional universe.

The Night King glanced at Lei Zhe and the resolute look in Xiao You's eyes with his penguin eyes, and felt a surge of relief. He was genuinely happy for Xiao You and wished her well.

It's so good that someone will continue to protect you after I'm gone. I also hope you can be happy, Euclid Wood.

"It seems you have made your choice."

The penguin, the King of the Night, smiled with relief, and stretched out its wings toward Xiaoyou, its eyes sparkling with the gentle emotions of their past friendship.

Although he almost went crazy after being locked up by Rai Zhe, I guess this vengeful guy is probably doing it because of Xiao You.

Retaliation for his actions.

Looking quietly at the girl before him, the Night King slowly spoke.

"Then please end this endless chain of events that binds me, and please don't be sad, because this is exactly what I crave."

"..."

With her deep blue eyes looking down at the large hand holding hers, Xiaoyou could feel that the magic within Lei Zhe's body had already connected with her.

Moreover, a dreamlike and compassionate power also connected with Xiaoyou. As long as she activates her words of power, that power will be temporarily at her disposal.

This is... reincarnation!?!?

Looking at Lei Zhe's calm eyes in shock once again, Xiao You was speechless because of everything Lei Zhe had done for her.

She understands Razer and can see that Razer hates the Night King, yet he is willing to offer him salvation for her sake.

I just wanted to avoid hurting her or making her feel guilty.

With sparkling light in her jewel-like eyes, Xiaoyou once again felt the comforting support of Lei Zhe.

He held Lei Zhe's large hand tightly, responding to the other's feelings.

The girl looked at the Night King again and nodded firmly. Under the Night King's somewhat dazed gaze, Xiaoyou showed a faint smile as she looked at him.

"You will also find happiness."

"...Thank you. You should also cherish your own happiness. After I die, I want to become a penguin like this...I like penguins."

The Night King's penguin also showed a relieved smile and nodded to Reiji.

Although Lei Zhe's confinement of him almost drove him to the brink of collapse, there is no doubt that this man will protect Xiao You.

The Night King's impression of Eucliwood was that she would never make such a decision to grant him death.

Although Xiaoyou, as a necromancer, possesses the ability to easily rewrite the fate of others, she is not used to interfering with others at will and also hates death.

Everyone has the right to live, and death means the end.

But the man beside her also showed her the view after the end.

"If I have the chance, I'll go on a trip to Antarctica with Yu. If I can find you in your next life, I might catch you and raise you."

With a sincere smile on his face, Rezhe uttered something quite extraordinary, despite the Night King's gaze that seemed to regard demons as something else entirely.

It's decided. Once you truly become a penguin, hehehehehe...

As if sensing Lei Zhe's ill intentions, Xiao You squeezed his large hand, drawing his attention before glaring at him with a displeased look.

"goodbye..."

Little First said a farewell to the Night King, and then gently opened his mouth towards the Night King.

"..."

The surrounding air seemed to tremble slightly.

Lei Zhe, who was no longer the same as before, also felt and saw the power that was changing everything emanating from Xiao You.

The Night King's inexhaustible flame of life began to die out, and his entire body began to disintegrate into energy particles.

At the same time, a radiant twilight light, imbued with a dreamlike compassion and warmth, enveloped the soul of the Night King.

"Let's go to the other side of happiness."

"May you rest in peace here."

His soul heard Xiaoyou and Leizhe's voices bidding him farewell. The Night King stared wide-eyed in disbelief. His soul felt as if it were in its mother's arms, filled with love and peace.

This dreamlike sense of happiness brought tears to the Night King's eyes, as if all the pain of his life had been soothed away.

"This is... a heartfelt thank you, Lei Zhe. You're very lucky to have met you, and so am I."

The Night King's decaying zombie body had completely vanished into nothingness, and his now vibrant soul, no longer lifeless, smiled and thanked the two in the warm and loving twilight light.

Having lived a life devoid of color for so long, and without a moment of ease for ages, the Night King now smiles with immense happiness.

Ah, I truly appreciate your blessings, thank you so much.

"I also wish you both a happy future."

As the final words of farewell fell, the soul of the Night King rose into the starry night sky under Xiaoyou's gentle gaze.

Like a shooting star, it left a fleeting, brilliant trail across the night sky before disappearing into the night and heading towards the shores of happiness.

This worry that has troubled Xiaoyou for so long should finally be resolved.

"That's...it's over, Xiaoyou, what...!?"

A hint of tenderness vanished from Lei Zhe's eyes as he turned to look at Xiao You beside him, intending to comfort her, who might be feeling a little sad. However, his mouth was silenced by soft, cherry-like lips.

With slightly widened eyes, she saw a stunningly beautiful face so close to her, and eyes that sparkled like stars in the night sky.

Xiao You's rosy cheeks glowed with an alluring light, and her fair, smooth arms were tightly wrapped around Lei Zhe's neck.

There is an adorable height difference between Lei Zhe and Xiao You. Xiao You, who is tightly hugging Lei Zhe's neck and kissing him, looks like she is hanging on Lei Zhe's strong body.

Once he regained his senses, Lei Zhe lowered his head slightly, allowing Xiao You's toes to touch the ground, and her petite body was instantly embraced in a strong hug.

Both Xiaoyou and Leizhe's eyes clearly reflected each other's faces.

In Lei Zhe's eyes, Xiao You had glistening tears in the corners of her eyes, but her beautiful pupils did not contain the sadness that corresponded to the tears. Instead, they were full of happiness, joy, and emotion.

He looked at Xiaoyou's beautiful eyes with gentle eyes and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of the girl's eyes.

"Ugh..."

Xiaoyou's initial initiative was slowly fading, and just as she was about to stop and catch her breath, Lei Zhe responded to her feelings.

The girl let out a cute whimper, and Xiaoyou, with a lovely blush on her face, was enveloped in Lei Zhe's affectionate kiss.

The slightly warm and sweet taste slid into my mouth, greedily capturing her essence and exploring every corner with all my might.

This moment of shared resonance and excitement made them forget everything around them.
