I'll kill you after I finish this game!

"Besides, Ayase's voice is very loud and noisy."

Himuro Rei said with a helpless smile, "Now that everyone is awake, the girl herself knows where she should go," and said firmly.

“We will not be lost, because I want us all to be together again, even if only once. So... goodbye, Lord Heydrich.”

The girl had made up her mind what she needed to say to this man; she was determined to say it this time.

He listed out the reasons why he would become that kind of person if things were different, someone who received no one's blessing...

"Your reason for defeat is that you eliminated Yzak, compared to the feelings of Fujii Ren who wanted to help me... and you didn't believe that Yzak would win."

"Even with an endless army... and control over an immense number of souls... you are still just a single person. You have lost."

If only Yitzhak could get some encouragement from his father, whom he trusted.

Himuro Reia must be gone by now, and there's no way things would have ended like this.

"Cough—!"

At that moment, the guillotine blade severed Reinhardt's bones, and he was about to feel the chill piercing through his neck with his entire body.

His head was visibly detaching from his body, and his soul was flowing away at an even faster pace.

"Hehe ...

Reinhard Heydrich knew at that moment, felt his death and defeat approaching, but he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Meanwhile, on the beach at dusk, at this moment, Mary, who had her hand on the Mercury Serpent's shoulder, slowly opened her eyes and accepted the truth from Cagliostro.

But just as Mary was about to take things a step further and give him a hug, she suddenly stopped.

A slight smile appeared on Lei Zhe's lips at this.

To the Mercury Serpent, Mary's stopping was a whimsical reaction, while to the young girl it was a perfectly natural one.

That's right, there's nothing strange about it.

Mary realized her desire.

The girl realized what this meant.

So she would do it anyway, it's a very natural choice.

The only one who hasn't grasped this subtlety is the mercury serpent before them.

As a token of gratitude for the care she has received all this time, Mary is now going to use what she has learned to teach him.

“Hey, Cagliostro…”

Under the other person's stunned gaze, Mary withdrew her fair hands, looked up at the man with a smile on his face, revealed a mischievous smile, and then did something that left everyone speechless.

"Bam—!"

A very slender and delicate fist struck his face in the dazed gaze of the Mercury Serpent, causing him to immediately spin 360 degrees in mid-air before finally crashing onto the beach.

Countless spectators were stunned. Reiji silently took a few steps back. Mercury Serpent raised his hand to cover his flushed cheek, sat up on the beach, and looked up in disbelief at Mary, who was smiling gently with her fist clenched.

The other person lowered their fist, and looking at Cagliostro's incredulous expression, Mary smiled with a hint of seriousness and sternness, and said:

"Titi and Ren both want to punch you, and so do I. I forgive you for what you did, Cagliostro, but if you want me to hug you, you have to get Titi and Ren to forgive you first, otherwise I will never hug you!"

She wouldn't hug Cagliostro before that.

As for why, it can be interpreted as she said, or it can be seen as her being willful as a girl.

Moreover, even if she were to hug someone, the first person she should hug should be Fujii Ren, with Cagliostro and Reiji going to line up much later!

Thinking this, Mary looked at Lei Zhe, who had silently retreated and was now seemingly worlds apart. The girl puffed up her cheeks and glared at him fiercely and cutely.

But at that moment—

"Boom boom boom boom boom!!!!!"

Suddenly, on the other side of the sea, where a wide road had been split open, a huge explosion resounded, deafening and earth-shattering.

Mary couldn't help but look in that direction. The towering pillar of light vanished in an instant, and the sea returned to its original state.

"Lotus, lotus—!"

Worried and calling out to Fujii Ren, Mary turned around without thinking and ran towards that place, across the sea.

Is it over now? Lian, are you alright? You weren't seriously injured, were you?

Mary was restless at the thought of Lian being in danger or getting hurt.

So we need to hurry, there's no time to lose, she wants to be the first to hold her tight right now.

"Well----"

At this moment, Mercury Serpent, slumped on the beach with her face covered, stared blankly at Mary's departing figure, unsure of what to say.

"What does this mean?" Mercury Serpent was completely baffled and had never imagined it.

But it's fantastic, really amazing. He's never missed a shot, from the past until now, I don't even know how he ever did.

Therefore, what has happened from the past to the present is impossible and unpredictable.

If the Mercury Serpent still had any self-respect, it would surely suffer a crushing blow.

So, right—?

"Are you alright? Was this quite unexpected?"

Lei Zhe silently approached the Mercury Serpent, squatted down in a very unladylike manner, and revealed a wicked smile of pleasure and schadenfreude on his usually calm and indifferent face.

After all, the script had been repeated countless times, and at the very end, Mary did something completely unexpected.

The novelty made Raiji feel great, and I imagine Mercury Serpent felt the same way.

"Hmph hmph hmph, hehehehehehe..."

Laughter, unstoppable laughter, leaked from the Mercury Serpent's mouth. Of course, he knew what it was, and it wasn't that he had never done it before.

But this time, it's the first time, a genuine first time.

Because it was his first time doing it, he wasn't very good at it.

Although I really want to express my feelings, it makes people think I'm being smug.

No, maybe so. After all, he hasn't experienced that, so he doesn't know.

Ah, ah, okay, explaining this is such a hassle.

So just laugh, just sigh.

Having been rebuked and rejected as a part of the old world, I can now relinquish my post and find liberation.

Therefore, for the Mercury Serpent, this was truly witnessing the unknown end at the moment of life and death.

"Haha ...

Amidst a deafening roar of laughter, Karl Craft experienced for the first time the disappointment and despair of rejection, and for the first time, he was lectured by his goddess, and even... beaten.

This was the first time he had truly made fun of himself.

His gaze remained fixed on the miracle within a miracle, on the back of the gemstone.

"My dear friend, this feeling is melting me. You should really try getting punched too."

The Mercury Serpent, laughing maniacally, stood up, looking glorious and proud, and gave Lei Zhe, whose lips were twitching, a look that seemed to say, "You've got a huge loss."

At this moment, he was melted by the ever-flowing unknown heart, feeling incredibly exhilarated.

Lei Zhe looked disgusted, his eyes conveying that this sycophant was beyond saving. He pulled the crazy, laughing, and self-satisfied pervert away, leaving the rest of the wrap-up to the main characters.

He was going to take the fifth day of vacation with this jerk. Damn, at least the horror show could finally stop. Reiji was in a good mood and relaxed.

Chapter Seventy Mary: I love you, I embrace you, I don't want to be apart.

The final battle is over, and the victor is Fujii Ren.

Although she preferred a tragic ending where they both perished, she also didn't want to engage in any melodramatic scenes with Mary.

But her deceased companions didn't seem to want her to come here, so they pushed her back.

"Cough—"

Fujii Ren was so struck by the force of his own guillotine-like swing of his right arm that he stumbled and collapsed to his knees, his legs giving way.

She exhausted all her energy, but without a doubt, she won!

She won; she defeated Reinhardt!

Although she lost most of her consciousness halfway through, Fujii Ren still remembered the incident; she had severed the other person's head.

"Senior... Shirou... Sakurai........-senpai!"

Weakly, as if squeezing out a sound, she whispered the names of the deceased. Fujii Ren clearly felt that the longing that had pulled her back from the brink of death had vanished.

She won because everyone made her win.

And Xiangchun, I heard your voice too. Are you waiting for me on the rooftop?

But...but...she...

Why the lament?

"------!"

The sudden whisper made Fujii Ren abruptly raise her head to look ahead, where she saw Reinhardt floating in mid-air, smiling at her.

It was a smile devoid of any aggressive intent; at that moment, he and the many souls that constituted his entire being began to dissipate into light.

At this moment, Reinhardt was on his deathbed.

"This is your victory. Hold your heads high. That kind of expression is really not appropriate for a victor."

Reinhardt showed no resentment on his face, and accepted his defeat with his head held high, acknowledging that Fujii Ren was the victor.

On his deathbed, he still had some questions for his victor, Fujii Ren, about their triumphs and defeats.

"I would like to ask you, is it really that important to trust others?"

Reinhardt, reflecting on the reasons for his defeat, looked into Fujii Ren's eyes and softly inquired about the cause of his failure, saying:
