I'll kill you after I finish this game!

"Where did the Death Eater go? Why didn't it come to help? If you and it had come together, there would have been no need for this."

The witch keenly sensed something unusual, and this unusual feeling came from the priest.

Where did Cain the Death Eater go? If he had come with the priest, things wouldn't be like this now.

"The Death Eaters are responsible for intercepting the other force. Besides, even with Cain, only His Highness's three captains can contend with him, except for my special ability."

Faced with the witch's seemingly accusatory question, the priest answered calmly and deliberately, without lying, but simply not telling the whole story.

The reasonable answer made the witch snort and leave the phase space directly.

Father Valyria followed with a smile, but no one could detect the cold, calculating glint in his eyes beneath his narrowed eyelids.

The audience also noticed something: the inside of the black round table... didn't seem to be a solid block.

Although they each have different personalities, it seems that everyone has their own plans now.

P.S.: Switching to manual review takes a very long time, sigh...

Chapter Thirteen: The Thirteen Knights of the Holy Lance, An Operation Originating from a Deal

Tonight is the first night of the war. It's really hard to imagine that in such a seemingly peaceful world, there is a group of beings so terrifying that they can overturn any law.

Viewers were in awe of the fighting power depicted in the video, but also felt that the world was far too dangerous.

A large group of beings capable of destroying the starry sky are crammed onto Earth, crammed into this small city of Suwahara.

Just thinking about living in the same world as such a terrifying creature makes one feel that their life is completely insecure, fearing that they might be caught in the crossfire and reduced to ashes at any moment.

For Fujii Ren, who prefers a peaceful and ordinary life, the existence of such a being in this world is absolutely terrible.

She took Xiangchun home. A lot happened tonight, but the most important thing was that she helped Xiangchun break free from her puppet state.

Despite Skadi's explanation, the whole incident still has many mysteries, and perhaps as time goes on, the truth will eventually come out.

But it's more reasonable and realistic to organize what you understand than to ponder what you don't understand.

In other words, the culprit behind this series of bizarre incidents is Fujii Ren, Ayase Kasumi, and who is manipulating us?

Skadi described the person as a magician with supernatural abilities and a mental illness.

All signs indicated that the other party still chose her.

Moreover, now that things have come to this, Fujii Ren no longer has any intention of running away or ignoring the situation.

We can't let Xiangchun do it anymore. We absolutely can't let her get involved with those guys.

Judging from the situation, although Xiang Chun is a criminal who has killed more than a hundred people, it is no longer a matter of surrendering or atoning for her sins.

In reality, the things that happen to Lian and those around her cannot be resolved by law or common sense.

To solve this problem, we must go beyond common sense.

If we stay here forever, we will never be able to face the truths and existences that are beyond the normal.

To defy common sense and break free from one's own world. Although it may sound abstract in words, Fujii Ren knows what to do.

The senior student mentioned Sakurai, Rusalka, William... drive those guys, and the accomplices of those guys who are about to be assembled, out of the city without leaving a single one.

Despite his own insignificance, Ren felt a sense of certainty, which gave him a sense of confidence that he had no reason to be disappointed in Ren and Kasumi.

She should be able to do it. If she continues to grow stronger, she will definitely have the power to protect herself in her daily life.

"Xiangchun, you don't know anything. I won't let you encounter anything more terrible or dangerous."

Standing by the bed in Kasumi's room, looking at the unconscious Ayase Kasumi, Fujii Ren made this promise in a soft voice.

Whether it's self-righteousness, or justice, it's none of Fujii Ren's business.

Right now, Xiangchun is the most important person, more important than the lives of other people who are unrelated to her.

She won't hand this over to anyone; she'll take full responsibility for it herself.

Danger, fear, sin, punishment... so Xiangchun, you should go back to the other side first.

I'll take care of things here for you.

"I promise I'll come back if I'm lucky." A gentle smile appeared on Lian's face as she held Xiang Chun's hands and said, "I don't want this crazy situation to become my whole world. The world I want to live in is... with you and Silang, with seniors and upperclassmen, with a boring school, with boredom and unease... that kind of boring yet warm, irreplaceable daily life that everyone knows about... I want to go back with you all."

Fujii Ren wanted to live there; she wanted to grow old and die an ordinary life.

So in order to come back, she has to temporarily derail.

So just close your eyes and go to sleep.

"Hmm... Ren? Where... am I...?"

Kasumi Ayase murmured something, opened her eyes wearily, and looked at Ren Fujii with a dazed expression, asking a question.

"It's your room."

Fujii Ren answered softly, trying to use a tone he used in everyday conversation, then looked at Kasumi with some concern and said:

"Are you alright? You just fainted, did you secretly drink alcohol?"

"Am I... passed out?" Xiangchun blinked her blurry eyes, trying to recall whether she had been drinking, her mind still somewhat muddled.

"Oh, I went through so much trouble to bring him home, what happened?"

Not wanting Xiangchun to know the truth, Lian continued to play along, using a white lie to cover up the truth about Xiangchun fainting.

"sorry."

Upon hearing Fujii Ren's question, Kasumi didn't continue recalling. Her trust in Ren made her believe him unconditionally, and she apologized for troubling him.

"Don't worry about it, it's okay."

Looking at Kasumi in front of him, Fujii Ren cherished this moment, which is why he didn't want Kasumi to be involved in that kind of world.

The fact that the other party had lost their previous memories was actually a good thing for Lian, saving her a lot of effort.

Ultimately, this is just one option. As long as the power is transferred to the main character, Fujii Ren,

After that, Kasumi, who was then a puppet tool, would not retain any extra memories.

That's great, at least I should thank Fujii Ren for this.

This guy's life can't bear such a huge burden of sinful memories; Fujii Ren alone can handle that.

"Go to sleep now."

Seeing Kasumi's helpless attempt at joking, Fujii Ren felt a pang of sadness. Her already poor acting seemed to be getting even worse. She said with concern, "Why don't you take a break from school for now?"

"It's alright, you're such a worrywart." Xiangchun smiled foolishly at Lian's concerned greeting.

Saying it was okay, Xiangchun joked around, but she was probably tired and fell asleep soon after.

"Sleep soundly."

After softly saying goodnight, Fujii Ren left Kasumi's room.

Xiangchun's nightmare is over now, there's nothing to worry about.

"After that, it's my turn..."

Lian clenched her right fist. The wounds on her body had healed, but a strange sensation still lingered in her arm.

My arm felt as heavy as steel, my bones were stiff, and the dull pain hadn't subsided.

She didn't understand it through reason, but through feeling; the guillotine was inside her body at that moment.

Moreover, this arm can easily sever a person's neck.

Then…!!!

"Well----!"

Suddenly, when she returned to her room, Fujii Ren frowned slightly, as if she were being burned or cut by a rope, a burning pain surged up her neck.

At this moment, the decapitation scar that could only be seen in the realm of the extraordinary appeared in reality on Fujii Ren's neck.

Is this evidence of the contract?

Fujii Ren reached up and pressed his hand to his neck; he knew what had happened there without even looking in a mirror.

The beheading mark on his neck, just like the guillotine mark on Mary.

It seems that scarves will be a necessity for some time after this...

[Senior, are you there?]

Using the telepathic communication technique he had just learned, Fujii Ren wanted to know how his senior and Nanami, who had helped her, were doing.

"Ren, has Xiangchun been taken home already?"

Yes, but Kasumi has forgotten the memory of killing.

That should be a good thing for you, right? After you complete the Eternal Destruction Pact, she won't do those kinds of things anymore.

Fujii Ren was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. It would be best if Ayase Kasumi could stay out of it, and forgetting about those things would save them from future trouble.

[Senior, what about Qi Shi...]

She's back safely. Lian, you should get some rest tonight. Come over to my place tomorrow, and don't fall behind on training.

【I see. 】

After ending the communication and learning that Nanami, who had helped her, was alright, Fujii Ren was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although things went through a rough night, the final result was quite good.

Kasumi was saved, but the first transmutation node in Suwahara City has already been opened.

The reason is that she accomplished eternal destruction.

It's obvious that her actions were driven by someone and manipulated behind the scenes. It's very unpleasant to feel like you've been set up.

"Senior, Mary..."

Fujii Ren murmured softly about the two people who would help her, but of course, there was no reply.

She simply strengthened her resolve: starting tomorrow, in this extraordinary world, she would not lose to her enemies and would survive no matter what.
