Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Absolute evil permeates the air, and even though it doesn't cause any actual damage, its appearance still instills a sense of panic in primates within a radius of tens of kilometers.

It was a severe physical discomfort...

"What's going on...?! What happened?" Asagami Yasuzo, the current head of the Asagami family, was the first to discover the source of this heart-pounding panic—it was coming from Fujino's room.

When his gaze traced back in that direction, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

As a certain thought formed in his mind, Asagami Kōzō's eyes immediately revealed disgust and fear.

Has the mystery of the Asagami family been revived or awakened?

The medication can no longer suppress the changes in Fujino's body?

No, we absolutely must not let that supernatural ability awaken...

What Asagami, what noble lady? In this city now, only the name of the Asagami family exists... and there are no other unknown figures.

With a gloomy face and a mad roar in his heart, his vile desires forced him to endure the constant discomfort in his body as he headed towards Fujino's room in the courtyard.

On the other side, as the dark red faded...

"Servant—Lancer…White Dragon, Siegfried answers the call." The ancient hero, the Demon King, through a cheat-like manipulation of sharing a spirit origin with Brunhilde, has descended once more, storing his will within the spirit form of the White Dragon.

Because of the legendary status of her Noble Phantasm, Brunhilde can transform into a white dragon, and the three white dragons, whose soul power originates from the same source, share an infinitely similar and converging connection.

Therefore, Night can also descend as Brunhilde in her white dragon form, but in doing so, Brunhilde will lose her Noble Phantasm that allows her to transform into a white dragon.

At this moment—a majestic and awe-inspiring warrior appeared before Fujino's eyes, clad in silver-white armor, resembling the White Dragon Emperor from the DXD world, his body empty of flesh and blood, driven solely by his soul and will, as if the armor itself had come to life!

Chapter 42 Multiple perforations in the appendix, is this how you take care of your daughter?

The ancient dragon answered the young girl's call.

She even gently recited the lyrics she had forgotten, helping her realize her heart's desire.

When the summoning failed, all the Heroic Spirits fell silent. In the entire Hall of Heroes, only that person's voice rang out. As he helped Fujino complete the summoning ritual, he gradually moved closer to her.

Mr. Hakuryu?

At this moment, fate seemed to finally favor and pity the young girl.

Fujino was instantly captivated by the powerful and handsome armor, her eyes filled with longing.

It's like when a boy sees a Gundam, he sees the gaze of his hero, and in that instant, because of these incredible sights, he feels a sense of wonder at the sight of a miracle, which generates a power akin to 'faith'.

And the Night, possessing a degree of divinity—being regarded as a god in ancient mythology—can clearly feel the pure and intense faith that comes with its arrival.

This child...!

I wasn't intimidated by the terrifying special effects when I appeared at night. On the contrary, the cool, shimmering silver armor at the end made me want to touch it.

Asagami Fujino asked nervously, her voice tinged with a mixture of timidity and a hint of joy, "You...you are—the owner of that voice just now? Mr. Hakuryu?"

"I am a Heroic Spirit summoned in response to your call—still can't you understand the current situation? Never mind—just understand that I am your Heroic Spirit." If the Brunhilde hadn't arrived yet, she might not understand what "shared Spirit Origin" meant, and that Fujino's Heroic Spirit was actually Brunhilde, not this empty 'armor' or anything like that.

It's okay to just accept the mistake and regard him as my own heroic spirit for now.

"I...I'm sorry." Fujino lowered her head. Although she didn't know what was wrong, she felt that she was not smart enough and that her explanation was simply omitted. She was so self-conscious and inferior that she imagined that she was so clumsy that Mr. Haku had no desire to explain at all.

"Please don't hate me, Fujino... I am Asagami Fujino—Mr. Hakuryu. Can we be 'friends'?" As she said this, a longing look flashed in Fujino's eyes.

Apologizing with that body, which looks riddled with holes in the night, while looking at you with that kind of gaze is against the rules.

Because of the imposing armor, his face was completely obscured. Of course, since the armor was empty inside, even if it disappeared, Fujino wouldn't be able to see Yoru's appearance. However, compared to the supernatural, the armor in front of her only appeared cold, ruthless, and arrogant. Fujino, unaware of the situation, might think that Yoru was angry at this moment.

"No need to bow your head and apologize—Asagami Fujino, I'll just call you Fujino."

“Okay, Mr. Haku…” Fujino said happily. She wasn’t angry that the other party didn’t call her Master. On the contrary, she was both happy and a little uneasy to be addressed by her name so affectionately.

That feeling was so novel! Because I had never experienced it before.

After all, she had no friends before, let alone being called by her name by anyone other than her parents.

In this country, only very close friends would abandon their surnames and call each other by their first names.

However—before Fujino could be happy for long, she heard news that sounded like a disaster.

"Though I have transformed into immense evil, destroyed everything before my eyes, become a natural disaster that indiscriminately ravages the earth, and become the mountain that stands atop the final peak of all heroes, I will not bare my fangs before a pitiful child like you, whose body is as broken as a rag doll. You may relax and be bolder in my presence." As he spoke, the silver-white dragon-armored knight looked down into his eyes, which seemed to radiate a divine light of pale silver and blue-white, and one could almost feel a trace of pity in his master through his helmet.

Fujino looked somewhat confused.

Her body—has it become like a broken rag doll?

The description, which resembled tattered drifting catkins, filled Fujino with apprehension. She couldn't understand—she was standing here perfectly fine, but could there really be something wrong with her body?

Before Fujino could muster the courage to ask what happened...

Bang! Suddenly, Fujino's door was kicked open. Asagami Yasuzo, having suppressed his power as night fell and no longer affected by that palpitation, quickly and forcefully barged into the small space.

The entire room was bare – a simple bed and simple clothes. Compared to Misaya Reirōkan's lovely bedroom, which was decorated with a girlish style, Fujino's room was not only smaller but also indescribably simple, to the point that it was impossible to hide anyone.

Of course—there's no need to hide from the night.

"Who are you?! What are you doing in my daughter's room?" With an extremely gloomy face, Asagami Kangzang questioned the tall figure in white silver armor.

However, after speaking, he finally managed to see the armor clearly by the light from the window, and swallowed hard, feeling somewhat regretful.

The armor, resembling a handsome white dragon in human form, possessed a ferocious and menacing appearance, radiating a cold light like dragon claws. Its entire body resembled a weapon of war, and the invisible aura emanating from it was like that of a brutal, ancient, and ferocious platinum dragon king. Just by maintaining a solitary and cold posture and slightly turning his gaze to the side, he already possessed the power to crush Asakami Kangzang's psychological defenses.

He was a big shot in this area, the head of a clan, yet he felt a sense of panic and an inexplicable urge to immediately lower his head and retreat.

"Father...Master?!" Fujino panicked.

A father's orders are absolute... Under the long-established authority, Fujino was somewhat at a loss as to how to deal with the situation before her.

But—it's alright, someone has already stepped forward and made the decision for her.

"I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you've already delivered yourself to my doorstep?... Hmph!" Just a casual snort, and a slightly murderous glint in his eyes, suddenly made it seem as if the entire world had collapsed and pressed down on him.

In that instant, Asagami Kōzō was almost scared out of his wits. He felt a terrifying sense of loss, as if life and death were no longer in his own hands, and even the life on the ground beneath his feet no longer belonged to him. He felt as if all life was about to be wiped out in an instant.

Driven by his survival instincts, he anxiously shouted, "You... wait, who are you!? Please let me... explain!! You are my friend Fujino, right? Are you going to attack me in front of my daughter?" From questioning to reverently and proactively finding a connection between Yoru and Fujino, he even tied himself to Fujino, as if he was afraid that he would be killed if he finished speaking.

That is, after he opened his mouth—the oppressive feeling dissipated, and before he could relax and catch his breath, the atmosphere quickly became even more tense because of his next words.

The calm voice came from under the armor: "There are multiple perforations in the appendix, and the kidneys, spleen, and liver are all damaged at different levels. Thanks to your care as the father, you have been giving this child all sorts of random medicines to forcibly suppress the pain, so that her body, which has been weakened to such an extent by you fools, will not collapse from the pain immediately."

Fujino, standing nearby, suddenly trembled violently. Her expression froze as Yoru revealed the truth. 'Wh...what?'

Chapter 43 The Twisted Demon Eye, Very Beautiful Eyes

This body was already riddled with holes—like a tattered rag doll with a leaky roof.

If you couldn't understand the meaning of such words before, when you hear those professional medical terms that would frighten any child, and hear such detailed data down to every single injury, it will be even more difficult to understand.

Is there a problem with the medicine my father regularly gives me?

Fujino looked at her stepfather with a puzzled expression, seeking confirmation...

However, under immense pressure, Asagami Kōzō, who was completely unable to feign anything, couldn't even manage a decent smile, let alone argue. His eyes were filled with fear and confusion at having his inner darkness exposed.

"Why...why was it found out?" This single question exposed the man's dark side.

When the clever Fujino realized that it was indeed her stepfather who had harmed her, a chill rose from the bottom of her heart. It was a fear that she could not shake off even though she had lost the ability to feel pain.

The person closest to me is trying to harm me—does my mother know about this?

If you knew, why didn't you stop it?

This betrayal from her closest relatives dealt a severe blow to Fujino.

Realizing he had said the wrong thing, Asagami Yasuzo hurriedly said, "No, no, that's not how it is... Fujino."

However, at this moment, Fujino felt fear as she looked at her father who seemed to want to approach, and instinctively hid behind Yoru, concealing her small body behind the armor.

"Close your eyes, Fujino... the following scene will be a bit bloody," Yoru suddenly said.

As if she had understood something, Fujino was actually quite clever. After hesitating for a moment, she glanced in her father's direction and then closed her eyes.

That person—wasn't her father.

Her real father had long since died, and her stepfather, who wanted to persecute her, was not qualified to be her father.

The next moment, Boom! He casually took out a conceptual divine spear from the geometric mandala array and threw it, piercing through Asagami Yasuzo's body.

Ignoring Asagami Yasuzo's agonizing screams and his desperate, blood-soaked explosion, Yoru crouched down and lifted Fujino into his arms. The thick armor, though cold and hard to the touch, brought Fujino a unique sense of security.

Just after being betrayed, feeling lost and helpless, the white dragon who stepped forward to protect her was like a lifeline to Fujino. She closed her eyes and naturally wrapped her arms around the neck of the armored man.

Night glanced at the self-assured little hand, then noticed Fujino's trembling eyelids and how she seemed to sense his gaze, burying her head in her hands despite her shyness.

Although he was holding an empty suit of armor, it was as if he were holding something very warm.

"There is no longer any need for this place to exist..." Suddenly, Ye's cold and majestic voice rang in my ears, like a god descending with the blade of judgment, leaving no room for doubt.

Fujino's heart skipped a beat, and she said, "But—Mother."

"Does she know the pain in your heart?" Ye suddenly asked this question out of the blue.

Fujino's body stiffened.

Her stepfather used drugs to seal off her abilities. Although this prevented Fujino from arousing the fear of ordinary people and being persecuted, she lost her senses and became unable to integrate into common sense, living in a world of the uncommon.

Having lost the ability to feel physical sensations, she can only pretend to feel pain. However, this makes it difficult for her to communicate her inner feelings to others, thus hindering her integration into society.

This situation continued until Fujino grew up to middle school, because the male protagonist of Kara no Kyoukai, Miki Kokutou, could also sense her unknown pain, which left a deep impression on him.

An abnormal childhood can lead to a distorted mind, either turning one into a yandere or continuing to crave love in a state of extreme deprivation, like a flower in a dark corner yearning for the arrival of sunlight and rain.

Fujino was somewhat at a loss, and in the end she simply chose to hold on tightly to Yoru... She liked the way Mr. Haku was angry because of her terrible health.

That's 'concern', isn't it?

The emotions he had never experienced with his mother and father caused a violent upheaval within him, leaving a gaping hole in his heart.

Even children understand that they should be close to those who truly care about them and stay away from those who dislike or hate them.

Suddenly—a slight pain shot through her abdomen where the Command Seal was located. Her face contorted with intense pain, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"It hurts—! It hurts, it hurts—!" For no reason, she blurted out a feeling she had never thought of before. Even though she had said such words countless times before, it was just Fujino's disguise. But this time—she really felt it.

My body felt like it had been opened up, and I suddenly returned to normal.

That was after Yoru and Fujino had completely established a magical channel. Yoru's powerful status then fed back to him, like a blessing bestowed by a god upon a believer, helping to refine his physical body.

Just as making a contract with Galahad, the Grail Knight of the Knights of the Round Table, increases one's resistance to poison, Gudako's resistance to poison, which even Tranquility cannot cure, is partly due to Mash.

Even if signing a contract with Night only establishes a small, relatively remote channel, given Night's all-around strength as a warrior, and his essence encompassing multiple blessings, protections, and conceptual laws, he could completely replace Fujino's body with a brand new one, even one as healthy as Sakura, who has been devoured by the Crest Worms.
