I'll kill you after I finish this game!

The girl really wanted to kneel down and apologize to each and every one of the few early-rising office workers and students doing morning exercises she saw.

Although it wasn't my fault, from my perspective, I didn't tell them anything, leaving their lives on a path of inevitable despair.

Even if they win, they'll probably feel guilty for the rest of their lives.

However, now is not the time to worry about this. The worst thing is to go to great lengths and not waste time in order to prevent the worst outcome.

Worrying about this kind of thing right now is arguably the biggest waste of time.

"Hey, Ren, are you awake? I've made breakfast here. Is Mary-chan with you?"

A sudden sound interrupted Fujii Ren's thoughts. In her helpless gaze, the small door on the wall leading to Kasumi's room next door was knocked on and then opened.

Then, Ayase Kasumi, carrying a Japanese breakfast, peeked out from inside and met Fujii Ren's gaze.

"Although I wanted to tell you to use the door, I doubt you'd listen," Fujii Ren said with a helpless sigh.

"They're just here to see Mary, after all, Lian, you don't know how to take care of people."

Kasumi Ayase saw Mary sleeping next to Ren Fujii, who had been woken up by her. After hearing Ren Fujii's sarcastic remarks, Kasumi Ayase just pursed her lips and said she didn't care.

After saying that, she took the prepared breakfast into Fujii Ren's room and began to help Mary change her clothes.

However, Ayase Kasumi's subtle change in Mary's personality naturally did not escape her notice.

I felt that Mary was more natural than yesterday. Was it because we were already familiar with each other?

Kasumi Ayase looked at Mary and pondered this.

"Ah~~, is it morning already? My body feels like it's falling apart."

Suddenly, the door to another of Fujii Ren's neighbors' holes in the wall was opened, and Yuza Shirou, looking dejected and gritting his teeth, leaned out to reveal himself.

Faced with the gazes of the three girls in Fujii Ren's room, and with Fujii Ren preparing to change his clothes, the atmosphere suddenly became deathly silent.

"Humph!"

Fujii Ren lowered his hands, which were about to take off his shirt, and sneered before flashing to stand in front of Shirou, who was halfway out of the room. He raised his hand in a "V" sign and then... stabbed Shirou Yuza in the eyes!

puff!

"Ooooooo!!!" Yuza Shirou, who had been subjected to the cruel torture of having his eyes gouged out, was forced back into his room by two fingers inserted by Fujii Ren. Then came a scream that pierced through the walls: "It hurts so much! Mega mega ahhhhh!!! (Eyes, eyes, ahhhhhh)"

That attack was enough to blind an ordinary person, but Yuza Shirou, this teenage thug, was clearly not one of them.

All one feels is pain; even if Silang is a half-baked demon, he can easily heal this kind of injury.

Fortunately, she didn't let the other party see any benefits. This guy has never regarded her and Xiangchun as women since they were young. Even though they were childhood sweethearts, they were quite improper.

"Huh? Hey hey hey hey hey hey!!!"

Ayase Kasumi took a while to react to what she had just witnessed. With a scream, she finally understood what had happened and immediately yelled at Fujii Ren:

"Ren! That's Silang! When did that bastard get back? Did I miss something by sleeping for days and nights?!"

Yuza Shirou had been absent from school for several months, so his sudden appearance in front of them was indeed quite surprising.

Although Fujii Ren felt that a certain gear in her daily routine had returned, it had become different from before.

Kasumi Ayase, on the other hand, simply feels both longing and anger towards Yuza Shirou, who has been missing for a long time.

That bastard has been missing for so long without any news, making her and Lian worry for ages. They even called the police when he didn't come back, but in the end, nothing came of it.

When it was time for breakfast, Yuza Shirou finally finished his business and came to Fujii Ren's tidy room to have breakfast together.

However, Ayase Kasumi glared at the carefree Yuza Shirou and rained blows on his back while muttering to herself.

"You idiot, you idiot, you idiot, you idiot, you idiot... Do you know how worried Ren and I were about you?! You actually played the disappearing act on us, we thought you had completely vanished into thin air!!"

"It's so noisy, so noisy..."

In Fujii Ren's room, Yuza Shirou, kneeling face-to-face with Fujii Ren at a small dining table while eating Japanese breakfast, picked at his ear with a piece of bread dangling from his mouth, and looked at Kasumi behind him with disdain, saying:

"Quiet down a minute, you goblin!"

"Who are you calling a goblin?! I thought you'd disappeared, and then you suddenly came back without a word!!"

With Ayase Kasumi's angry shout, this time it wasn't a casual little punch, but a hard punch that landed squarely on Yuza Shirou's abdomen.

Although it was of no use to the other party and caused no pain, Yuza Shirou knew that Ayase Kasumi cared about him and was also angry at his decision to disappear on his own.

Fujii Ren and Mary held miso soup in their hands. The former watched the two guys fooling around in front of her with a blank expression, while the latter looked at them with a curious smile.

In short, the fact that Yuza Shirou could reappear in part of Fujii Ren's daily life is reassuring for the girl. After all, compared to someone disappearing forever, it always makes one worry about how the other person is doing.

Besides, it's not acceptable for Ayase Kasumi to go to school alone again, being so silly.

Fujii Ren looked at Yuza Shirou, not bothering to hide it from Ayase Kasumi, and asked suggestively, "Shirou, are you going to continue 'disappearing'?"

So, what are your plans now? Now that you're involved, you're not planning to act alone, are you?

Unaware of the truth, Ayase Kasumi stared wide-eyed at Yuza Shirou after hearing Fujii Ren's words. If this guy dared to disappear again, she would definitely tie him up next time.

"Well, this situation really isn't suitable for me to be alone. Does your senior agree with me?"

Yuza Shirou laughed heartlessly as he spoke, winking at Fujii Ren when he mentioned the words "that senior".

Although he fainted in embarrassment afterward, he was relieved to see that Fujii Ren was alright.

After this battle, continuing to be a lone wolf would clearly be suicidal and pointless.

If possible, he wanted to increase his strength. Yuza Shirou didn't want to always be a weakling being taken care of, much less a guy being protected by women.

This idea depends on Fujii Ren, whose strength far surpasses his. If possible, that Skadi senior should be able to solve his problem of insufficient strength. It's just a matter of whether he can be noticed by her.

"..."

Fujii Ren frowned slightly. She naturally understood what Shirou meant, but she couldn't influence Skadi's will.

Moreover, Yuza Shirou will definitely not run away. Once he makes a decision about Suwahara City, he will definitely get involved, even if it means his own death.

"Huh!? What?! Shirou, are you talking about Skadi-senpai? Do you have some kind of ulterior motive towards her?"

Kasumi Ayase, who didn't understand the coded message between Shirou and Ren Fujii, only felt that Shirou Yusa was asking Ren Fujii about other girls.

So she immediately thought of two upperclassmen she knew well, one was Himuro Reia, and the other was Skadi.

Kasumi's intuition told her that Shirou was talking about Skadi.

"Ugh, you're such a pain. Instead of worrying about me, you should think about yourself. You're hopeless."

Yuza Shirou spoke to Kasumi in a roguish yet helpless tone, glancing at her with a look of resignation and disdain.

But in his heart, he was thinking about how to deal with this guy, since he was likely to be affected by the upcoming battle, and neither he nor Lian were confident that they could protect him well.

"It's so noisy! Mind your own business!!"

Ayase Kasumi, a single woman whose sore spot had been touched, blushed and loudly retorted to Yuza Shirou's teasing.

"The relationship is really good."

Seeing this, Mary smiled and whispered to Fujii Ren.

Fujii Ren smiled helplessly and gently; this was indeed the kind of daily life he hoped he could have every day.

Even though it's mundane and noisy, it's a time she enjoys and can relax.

Although Kasumi is clumsy and noisy, and Shirou always makes people angry, Fujii Ren enjoys it and thinks that he would like to live like this forever.

If only those strange things didn't keep happening around me, like the Black Round Table, Reinhardt, and my senior... well, let's just say she's not the type to cause trouble after spending time with her, since she's my senior.

Being able to get close to a girl like Mary is definitely not something bad.

P.S.: Following the game's main storyline and the modified storyline, most of the following sections will feature fast-paced combat...

Chapter 51 Skadi's Choice: The Path of Seeking Truth Transforms into Domination

Meanwhile, at Skadi's home.

The house was no longer filled with the warm and peaceful atmosphere of the past. Jibril, Tohka Yatogami, Yoshino, and Nanami were sitting around Skadi in the front of the living room, discussing important matters.

Tohka and Yoshino unconsciously clenched their fists, while Nanami and Jibril remained unchanged as usual, though their auras had become somewhat heavy.

Addressing her family and friends, Skadi spoke calmly and indifferently:

"Now it's time to get serious. Nanami and I have already decided on our fate. Maybe we will all die in battle. We don't even know if we will have the chance to meet again in the future."

Upon hearing this, viewers from countless dimensions were slightly startled. While Fujii Ren was still living out the few remaining days of her daily life, Skadi had already reached the point of discussing her own life and death.

Has he already decided his fate? These words sound like he's about to die.

"...Lady Skadi, is this really the right thing to do?"

Jibril frowned slightly. Skadi was not only her lord but also her close friend, second only to Nanami in terms of intimacy. Her first lord, Artesius, died in battle, and now her second lord, Skadi, was also going to die.

To be honest, Jibril didn't really like this outcome, but if it was Skadi's order, she would obey it even if she didn't want to.

"As I said from the beginning, neither Matilda nor I will achieve the ending we desire if we survive to the final act. Neither of our principles is suitable for the throne."

Skadi gently touched Yoshino's head, who was pursing her lips and looking somewhat dejected, and calmly said, regarding Jibril's unwillingness and resistance:

“Once Matilda and I reach the level of domineering Tai Chi, there will be no turning back. Both of our principles will turn the multiverse into a mess, so we must leave together.”

These blunt words made Tohka tremble. The thought of someone important going to their death was unbearable for this innocent and pure girl.

With her head down, Tohka silently stood up from her seat, leaving behind the words, "I have to go out," before running out of the house without looking back.

Yoshino lowered her head and gripped Skadi's clothes tightly, while Yoshina in her other hand wiped away Yoshino's tears.

Jibril and Nanami, the former looked unwell, while the latter remained calm as always, but there were complex emotions in her eyes as she looked at Skadi.

These heavy words conveyed a sense of sorrow to Tohka, even to viewers from countless dimensions, and the silence around Skadi.

Initially, they didn't understand the situation, but when Skadi mentioned the words "Overlord God" and "Tai Chi" again, they also thought of the cruel and tragic fate between overlords.

【Eden】: It's really frustrating... Although I don't know what Skadi's 'reason' is like, it must be something that even she can't control, since it has turned the multiverse into such a mess.

[Rita]: Seeking the Way is alright, but the Overlord God will inevitably lead to a life-or-death conflict. Moreover, Skadi knows that her laws will not bring any positive changes to the world.

[Traveler]: I'm curious about Skadi's divine principles.

[Blue Ribbon Goddess]: What are you curious about? For Skadi to say something like that, the world she created must not be better than the world of eternal recurrence we have now.

[Master of the Hall of Rebirth]: After all, he is an existence that influences the whole world with his own power. Therefore, the law will be based on personal desires, and the result may be completely opposite to the host's desire.

【General Thunder】: It means that one desires something beautiful, but the legal principles may be very cruel.
