I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Countless viewers, from the very beginning until now, have come to deeply understand Mary's naive yet pure wish.

What exactly did she, this young girl, this goddess, do wrong?

Even after hearing Lei Zhe objectively explain the merits and demerits of her argument, she still felt that she hadn't done a good job.

Little did they know that the world they were reborn into on the fifth day of reincarnation, a world where happiness was promised in the future, was an ideal land that countless viewers longed for but could never attain.

Fujii Ren understood this deeply; there was no need to elaborate on how precious this fifth day was.

So even after ending the war on horror dramas, she still has a goal she is determined to dedicate everything to and strives for.

Because Raiji frankly said that he had things to do, Fujii Ren also took the time to learn some skills that gods should learn from Raiji.

While her divine might and domineering strength are beyond question, she is somewhat inept in other areas besides combat.

Now, in the precious time of her university years, Fujii Ren, who spends her nights at school with Kasumi, feels that her life is very fulfilling.

However, on Fujii Ren's birthday, she received a wonderful gift.

"Ah...it's just the two of us this year, and I haven't made any new friends."

After setting up the birthday party for Lian at home, Xiangchun sighed as she looked at the cake in front of her.

She also reminisced about the days when Silang was around, but now she could only wait for their future reunion. So her sadness didn't last long, and she reached out and smiled to touch Orpheus, who had eaten cake all over his face, and said with a smile:

"But having another child as cute as Yoshino is not bad."

Just like Mary who suddenly appeared, Orpheus, though quiet and innocent, was indeed similar to Mary in some ways.

Fujii Ren didn't hide his identity as Orpheus, but it was pointless now; Kasumi already knew everything she needed to know.

Now, with her long, flowing hair, Xiang Chun has become beautiful, charming, and mature.

Although she is no longer as lively and active as before, just like her deceased mother, she has gradually transformed into an understanding and gentle woman.

Thinking about the situation at university, Fujii Ren curiously asked Kasumi:

"Xiangchun, I remember you had someone pursuing you at the academy, right? Have you gotten a boyfriend yet?"

"Ah... Ren, why are you suddenly bringing this up!?"

Ayase Kasumi's fair face immediately flushed red with embarrassment as she glared angrily at Fujii Ren, whose expression was innocent yet curious.

Fujii Ren shrugged helplessly and said to Kasumi in a motherly tone:

"If you don't start dating now, it'll be too late. If you can't find a boyfriend in high school or college in Japan, you'll only be able to find an older man after you enter the workforce."

Fujii Ren was also thinking of Ayase Kasumi's best interests, since she wasn't joking much; that's pretty much the situation in Japan.

Moreover, if possible, Fujii Ren would like to see her childhood friend find her own happiness.

"Xiangchun...do you need to find a mate?"

At this moment, Orpheus, who was quietly eating her cake, seemed to be drawn to the topic. Being very interested in this, she innocently uttered some rather suggestive words.

"Pfft—" X2.

While drinking juice, Fujii Ren and the shy Kasumi, who wanted to argue back, were both taken aback by Orpheus's innocent expression as he uttered such outrageous words.

Even among countless viewers, quite a few were almost choked by what this cute little girl said.

The atmosphere, which was about to become noisy, suddenly turned strange. Fujii Ren was speechless and helpless, while Kasumi was also annoyed and chuckled. Then, she angrily raised her hand and rubbed Orpheus's soft little face.

What do you mean by "mating partner"? It's like wild animals breeding.

"You can't say that again! It's very impolite, Orpheus."

Gently rubbing Orpheus's little face, Kasumi softly educated the 'little child' in front of her.

Orpheus shook her head and broke free from Kasumi's clutches; the older women in the port area also liked to treat her like that.

However, Orpheus looked very serious; she was genuinely interested in the question, and she said to Kasumi and Fujii Ren:

“I sense that Xiangchun is not honest, unlike me who is direct. If you want to mate, you have to beat the other person into submission, then take them back to marry them, and not give them a chance to grow, otherwise they will be taken away by someone else.”

Are you some kind of caveman?! You even beat the other person into submission, took them back, and forced them to marry you.

If Fujii Ren hadn't known that Orpheus wasn't actually human, he would have really wanted to teach him a lesson.

Kasumi Ayase was also quite shocked by Orpheus's views on love, but she also felt that he was very pure and amusing.

But what the other party said next made Fujii Ren and Kasumi instinctively want to call the police.

“I’ve always wanted to mate with Rai Zhe, but he refused me because I couldn’t beat him.”

Orpheus looked annoyed and regretful. Back then, the Reiji she encountered wasn't ridiculously strong. If only she had defeated him back then.

She didn't understand what liking or loving meant, but she was indeed very close to Lei Zhe and wanted to be even closer to him, to the extent that she felt for Xiao You and Xiao Sheng.

However, when she directly confessed her feelings to Lei Zhe, he rejected her harshly, citing the reason that he "could not make a move on an immature woman."

This is also Raiji's principle; he really feels embarrassed to make any advances towards women like Mashiro or Tohka, who are so innocent and pure that they're practically white.

I simply felt that I was despicable, taking advantage of the fact that the other person didn't know anything.

"...Ophis, did you confess your feelings to that shopkeeper?"

Fujii Ren was also taken aback by what Orpheus had suddenly said. At the same time, she immediately moved away from Kasumi, who had subconsciously picked up the phone to call the police, and wanted to hear Orpheus talk about the mysterious shop manager.

After all, Orpheus said that the other party had already refused, so why are you getting so worked up, Kasumi?

"Hmm, he clearly said he likes me a lot, and I like him a lot too. Isn't that a prerequisite for us to mate?"

Orpheus nodded, then looked at Fujii Ren with a puzzled expression and asked, not understanding why Rei would reject her.

Mutual attraction is a prerequisite for mating, isn't it?

At this point, Fujii Ren and Kasumi also realized that Orpheus actually didn't understand the feelings between men and women at all.

The other party's claim that Lei Zhe likes her is probably not romantic love.

When Fujii Ren saw the look of doting yet helpless expression on Reiji's face as he looked at Orpheus last time, he understood the other person's feelings.

Just like taking care of a child, although Orpheus is old enough to be considered the same age as Earth, he doesn't actually have much experience.

"The kind of liking I have isn't the kind of liking you in a romantic sense."

Fujii Ren shared his insights with Orpheus, glancing at Kasumi as he spoke, and said softly:

"Xiangchun and I like you now too. This liking is a pure and unconditional affection and care. The shop manager's love for you, Orpheus, is the kind of love that comes from family."

In her and Xiangchun's eyes, Orpheus's eyes, so clean they seemed to reflect the entire world clearly.

You can tell a person's inner self just by looking at their eyes. Fujii Ren and Kasumi didn't believe it before.

But after seeing Mary in the past and Orpheus in the present, they knew that such a being truly existed in the world.

As Orpheus blinked, she recalled Reiji's unconditional love and care, his help in enhancing her power, and the feeling of being together at home. It seemed... indeed similar to, yet different from, that of a necromancer.

Thinking of this, Orpheus also remembered Fujii Ren. Knowing her true nature, she seemed to simply treat her like a child. So she looked earnestly at him and Kasumi and said:

“I like your quiet aura, and now I like both of you. You are the kind of ‘good people’ that Rezhe talked about. I can give you [snakes] as gifts.”

"snake?"

Fujii Ren and Kasumi didn't quite understand what Orpheus was saying, but they could tell that he was praising them.

Orpheus's small hands faced Fujii Ren and Kasumi, and an ∞-shaped circular array of purple and white light unfolded, from which two jet-black, jade-like snakes reflecting a magnificent light emerged.

Fujii Ren looked at the Devouring Tail Serpent with some amazement. In her eyes, the Black Jade Devouring Tail Serpent contained a complete and perfect cosmic cycle, which was truly magnificent and dazzling.

Subconsciously, even though Fujii Ren didn't recognize the object, he absolutely believed it to be a treasure.

Xiang Chun, who couldn't see through the snake's inner workings, wasn't frightened by it, because the black jade snake looked like a work of art, without any frightening elements.

"Please accept it; it's a token of Orpheus's appreciation."

Suddenly, a male voice came from the window of the apartment where there were only three people. Orpheus immediately looked in the direction of the voice and his eyes lit up.

Startled, Xiangchun looked over and saw Lei Zhe outside the window, leaning against the windowsill and smiling at the person inside.

Fujii Ren wasn't intimidated; she just glared at him irritably and said:

"Excuse me, manager, could you please use the 'door'? You don't think it's cool to suddenly appear like this, do you?"

"Oh dear, I came here to give you a birthday present, and this is how you treat me."

Reiji, who was scolded by Fujii Ren, wasn't angry. He just had an amused smile on his face and looked at Fujii Ren with a teasing look in his eyes, saying:

"The front door is where my gift is located. Go and open the birthday present I gave you."

"What's with the mysterious stuff, store manager?"

After realizing what was happening, Kasumi glared at the other person, but when it came to gifts, she still pulled Fujii Ren along to the corridor entrance.

As a result, all that was seen was a huge gift box painted with anti-detection and anti-spy spells, which was not only ornately decorated but also very heavy.

Seeing the gift box, even though she couldn't sense anything inside, Fujii Ren's heart started racing.

"It's so heavy, what's inside?"

Kasumi Ayase looked at the box and tried to move it, but she couldn't. However, she could feel the box's heavy weight.

It seems the gift from the store manager was quite heavy; in the end, it was Fujii Ren who moved it to the living room.

During this time, Kasumi and Fujii Ren also noticed that the living room had become more luxurious, the cake on the table had been transformed into a seven-tiered cake of different colors, and various fragrant and delicious ingredients and drinks were placed around it.

Needless to say, both Fujii Ren and Kasumi knew that it was Reiji, who was combing Orpheus's hair on the sofa at that moment, who had done it.

Although they didn't say it, the two of them thanked each other.

"Hurry up and open the gift box, she must be getting impatient inside."

Reiji, who was sitting to one side with Orpheus in his arms, chuckled and pointed to the gift box, signaling the two of them to hurry up and open it.

she?

Upon hearing this word, Xiangchun didn't understand what it meant and subconsciously thought that the shop manager might have given Lian some kind of pet or something.

However, Fujii Ren swallowed hard, as if he vaguely guessed something.

After she unwrapped the gift box, she slowly opened the lid and immediately saw the familiar golden sunset reflection.

"..."

Silently, tears streamed uncontrollably from Fujii Ren's eyes, and Kasumi was so shocked that she instinctively covered her mouth, her eyes also filled with emotion.

Their eyes reflected the image of a little girl in a gift box, holding a bouquet of flowers, with beautiful, shimmering blonde hair and wearing a pure white dress.
