I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Because it didn't exist on the stage of a horror drama, no one knew the truth about what happened.

Fujii Ren didn't want the place where she grew up to attract too much attention, so she erased all her memories of the fourth day of the battlefield.

but......

"Time really flies..."

At this moment, Fujii Ren, along with the slightly aged Ayase Kasumi and Mary, walked through modern streets. The televisions in the roadside shops were broadcasting news about the changes in the world today, such as technological advancements and the manifestation of strange powers.

The reason for this sigh is that the world is changing too fast these days; only a few decades have passed and the differences between the Mary Age and the Mercury Age are already apparent.

"Yes, magic and superpowers are actually appearing in the open now."

With some wrinkles already appearing on her face, Ayase Kasumi walked down the street with Fujii Ren, witnessing the rapid changes of the times and marveling at the speed of these changes.

"But...it's not bad, is it?"

Hearing the two people's感慨 (gǎnkǎi, deep feelings) about the changes in their era, Mary asked a slightly nervous and shy question.

"Ah, it's not bad." X2.

Fujii Ren and Kasumi exchanged a glance. They didn't feel too much aversion to the current reality. Mary's world was far better than that of her god.

The world is changing in this way because of Mary, as well as because of Mercury and Reiji.

Fujii Ren and Kasumi also knew some of the truths about the world, so they had heard Raiji explain the reasons for these changes.

The Mercury Serpent is an old and decaying being. Under his rule, the mysteries of the world, like his own aging gourd mentality, are constantly receding.

After Mary took the seat, the world was reborn, and mystery and technology began to advance.

Ren Fujii has been to Skadi's home world, where the level of technology is extremely high.

The world she lived in was currently in a period of rapid development in its initial stage. Without the active intervention of God, technology had begun to enter another explosive phase.

The evidence is that Fujii Ren and Kasumi have already used very stable and advanced civilian virtual reality devices, as well as various kinds of epoch-making artifacts.

The old-fashioned computer is gradually being phased out because projection technology and miniaturization technology have achieved major breakthroughs, drawing inspiration from magic.

Just like the Date A Live dimension that Razer once visited, because of the existence of spirits and their neighboring worlds, some people have mastered a near-magical manifestation device.

The same is true now; with the return of mystery, history is no longer as superstitious as it once was.

While powerful, transcendent beings like magicians are not absolutely invincible.

Even without surface-level combat capabilities, humanity's current civilization naturally has plenty of ways to eliminate those unstable factors that are unwilling to cooperate.

Previously, there was no science to consult or learn from, but now that technology is advanced, we can study and observe the miracles achieved by magic and what the underlying principles are.

Magic and technology are intertwined; the era in which Fujii Ren lives is one of technological explosion.

Because of the mysterious return, the various mysterious origins left behind by Mercury and Raiji have already begun to revive.

British magical organizations and churches, the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, and various magical societies that remained hidden throughout the fourth day, etc.

Even in Japan, Fujii Ren has noticed some special beings, such as so-called Onmyoji.

They didn't just appear out of nowhere; they were already part of history.

However, it went into hiding during its period of decline, as can be seen from the various relics it possessed back then. The Fourth Era also had a mysterious and glorious period.

"With each passing day, civilization progresses and technology always moves towards tomorrow."

Fujii Ren was very sensitive to the passage of time, but she didn't hate it too much, after all, she had loved ones by her side. She looked at Kasumi and Mary and said:

"The color of the seat has changed, and the world and the times will naturally change as well. In this international society on Earth, any country that lags behind the times cannot survive."

What Fujii Ren said is an absolute truth in any world, and countless viewers agree with it.

However, the world under Mary's rule, where magic and technology blend together and flourish, has been very interesting to many viewers.

They share a similar worldview, where technology and mystery advance together.

[Gap Witch]: My world is also a world where technology and magic coexist. Witches, vampires, and orcs all exist.

【Wanyou Tianluo】: It's about the same on my side. What used to be mysterious has now come into the open.

【Vehicle Killer】: The world where Fujii Ren lives is developing technology so fast. It's only been a few decades and there has been such explosive development.

[Yuheng Star]: Did humanity achieve this development on its own without interference from Mary, the goddess of peace?

【Kamen Rider Build】: It's a very interesting development. Technology borrows from the secrets of magic to achieve continuous breakthroughs. The development is really fast because the two complement each other.

[Father of Ultra]: I'm afraid that in another hundred years, or even less, humanity in this world will be able to officially enter the universe.

[Emperor]: Hmm... While the gods' non-interference has its pros and cons, it's excellent that they're constantly using technology to unravel the secrets of magic. Breaking superstition and gaining enlightenment is what humanity should be doing.

[Tycoon]: Hah...superstition? You're a fool who's been sitting in your seat, saying that superstition should be eradicated in a theocratic era!? Wake up, my old friend, your whole thing is a complete failure.

...........

Despite the changing times and the opinions of countless viewers, Fujii Ren's mentality remains one of going with the flow.

Although the world is changing too fast now and everything from the past is being gradually replaced, isn't that what life is all about?

"I hope everyone can find meaning in their lives..."

Looking at the passersby and the changes in the world at that moment, Mary sincerely wished for such a thing to happen.

Because Mary herself, looking at the era that has changed because of her, doesn't know what will become of these lives afterward.

Although she would always be happy in her embrace, she also knew, because of what Lei Zhe said, that loving too deeply would only hurt others.

While you may want to love, you should also do so in moderation.

Moreover, according to Rezhe, don't underestimate the human species. Although your origin has two sides, it has undoubtedly played a positive role in promoting the world.

Loving and trusting others, Mary's children will surely inherit her characteristics to some extent.

“You’ve done very well, Mary. Don’t force yourself to be perfect.”

Fujii Ren could sense some of Mary's emotional fluctuations, reached out and took her small hand, and said very seriously to the goddess she was protecting.

Mary has done what she should and could do. If she has to do everything, what is the point of having others?

Fujii Ren probably understood what Reiji was worried about regarding Mary: Mary was too considerate of others and didn't know whether she was doing a good job or whether she could do it well.

Like a... silly mom.

“Yes, Mary, the world isn’t so bad, is it? That’s enough.”

Kasumi Ayase chuckled and said, "After all, the world is really good now. Mary's wish to create a cycle of reincarnation that allows them to meet again is already very good. It would be too much to ask for something better."

This is a world reflected in the love of the goddess, and it will continue to do so in the future.

After hearing their conversation, Mary stuck out her tongue and smiled sheepishly, knowing that she had gotten stuck in her own thoughts again.

The affirmation from her relatives and friends is her greatest comfort and joy.

After all, if a world can't make Lian and the others happy, how can it expect others to be happy?

Although we may part ways, we will always meet again.

Even now, the aging Ayase Kasumi still maintains a relaxed attitude, and because she knows this, she has little interest in immortality.

"Woooo..."

Just as the three were chatting and laughing, a child's sobbing caught their attention, because Mary's sleeve was suddenly tugged.

The three of them couldn't help but look down. Judging from the voice, the being that appeared there was just a child.

The child's appearance, however, caused the three women to widen their eyes slightly.

It was a cute, petite little girl with dark hair, wearing a brown scarf around her neck, and her big, teary eyes were looking at Mary.

"you you......"

Fujii Ren and Ayase Kasumi looked at the child, slightly surprised and speechless.

After watching for a while, countless viewers fell silent, but upon closer inspection, they immediately recognized who the girl was.

What a coincidence! I ran into my former enemy and comrade-in-arms reincarnated while walking down the street.

"Xiao Ying?"

“Sakurai…”

Mary and Fujii Ren unconsciously uttered the surname and first name of someone from the past. The little girl staring at them with uneasy eyes could not be mistaken; it was none other than Sakurai Hotaru from before.

As a child, she was a rather weak little girl. Just as Skadi-senpai said, she was a person who pretended to be strong.

Fujii Ren found this amusing, and immediately crouched down to meet the little girl's gaze, softly asking her:

"Little sister, are you separated from your family because you're all alone here?"

Even without the other party saying anything, Fujii Ren and Kasumi could guess the child's current situation after they came to their senses.

Such a young child, out alone with no family around, could easily get separated from her.

And such speculation is indeed true.

"Waaaaah... Ugh... Brother, sister... are gone... we can't find them, waaaaahh ...

Upon hearing Fujii Ren mention the word "family," the little girl could no longer hold back; tears welled up in her large, teary eyes, and she burst into tears.

The panic and unease of being separated from family is almost palpable.

However, this did not panic Kasumi, Fujii Ren, and Mary, since all three of them had ways and experience in dealing with children.

Hsiang Chun is now quite old, and she knows very well how to deal with students at school.

Fujii Ren also has experience raising children, so she has no shortage of experience in this area.

As for Mary, you can tell from the fact that the little girl is tugging at her sleeve that some people, even if they don't know how to deal with children, are born with an inexplicable affinity.

"Don't cry, don't cry, we'll help you find your older brothers and sisters."

Mary smiled gently, raised her hands and stroked the little girl's fair face, then playfully rubbed it under the amused gazes of Fujii Ren and Kasumi, saying, "Yoshi~ Yoshi~ Yoshi~ Yoshi~ Yoshi~~"

"Waaaaah... Haaaah... It itches so much... Stop rubbing, waaaah..."

Mary's quirky trick worked quite well; with her gentle rubbing, the little girl's anxious and tearful expression was transformed into a wry and amused one.

Fujii Ren and Kasumi couldn't help but exchange a glance, and then Ren couldn't help but ask Mary where she learned such a funny way of comforting children.

"Huh? It's in the manga. In the JoJo manga that A-Zhe gave me, touching someone like that can make them happy quickly, right?"

Mary paused for a moment, then took out a comic book from her personal space with one hand, opened it, and pointed to the page with a very striking art style: "Masturbation".
