Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

but.

Soon, the two were once again surrounded by figures draped in black robes.

The number of figures was so great that it blocked Rem's field of vision, and she could only stare blankly, firmly believing that her sister would solve everything.

However, her sister turned her back to her, knelt down facing the figure, and desperately shouted words that she could not hear.

The figure before me was weeping, huddled up, and pleading desperately.

Rem was confused. She was looking down at her sister, a situation that should never have existed in her way of life. Her purpose in living was to stay behind her sister and shrink herself down to be even smaller than her sister.

At that moment, the older sister shouted and stood up, spreading her arms in front of her. Mana gushed forth, and an extraordinary power spread out, with invisible blades that could cut through everything around her.

However, before the power could be unleashed, her older sister turned around and hugged her tightly.

Then came the shock.

Rem saw it; steel swung from the side, and the white light above her sister's head flew into the red sky.

The white light swirled and swirled, drawing her gaze to the severed horn.

Then came the spray of blood, the blood gushing from the base of the broken horn.

Then came someone's high-pitched scream.

Rem, who witnessed all of this, thought of something that she still remembers clearly to this day.

Protecting herself, enduring the violence, having her horn broken, and hearing heart-wrenching screams—she felt all of this, and only one thought remained in her mind.

Ah, it's finally broken.

"...That's it."

Having listened to Rem's long-held obsession, Toki simply nodded, then reached out and stroked her head.

"Time?"

Rem looked at him, puzzled: "Shouldn't you... hate me?"

"Why would I hate you? My feelings for you haven't changed," Shi Chen replied with a smile.

After all, he already knew these things; she mainly wanted to hear Rem tell him herself.

This means that she has completely opened her heart to him.

"Why?" Rem looked at him in disbelief.

She's so despicable and shameless, and she gets satisfaction from her sister's destruction, so why would anyone like her?

"It's very simple."

Shichen said softly, "What I like is the Rem I see now."

Chapter 498 Rely on Me

"Me now...?" Rem stared blankly at the hour.

"Yes."

Shi Chen stroked her head, his smile gentle: "The Rem I saw was cute, had a great figure, was strong, could do housework, and could even sew clothes... Who wouldn't like a girl like that?"

"Time..."

Rem lowered her head, her voice trembling with tears, and when she looked up again, her eyes were already brimming with tears.

"Why... why was Rem's horn left behind? Why wasn't my sister's horn left behind? Why was my sister born with only one horn? Why—are my sister and Rem twins?"

Rem's lips trembled as she asked a question that seemed to be a search for the meaning of her own existence. This was a question she had been pondering ever since she became conscious, a question that had been troubling her ever since.

“Rem…” Shichen looked at her with pity.

Anyone in her position would care about this kind of thing; there really aren't that many carefree, optimistic, and cheerful people.

"sorry......"

Rem apologized in a tearful voice, and the tears that had been welling up in her eyes burst forth and slid down her cheeks.

She couldn't help but wipe her cheek, apologizing as she did so: "I'm sorry, Rem said something strange... Please forget about it, this is the first time Rem has ever said something like this to anyone, that's why..."

"What does it matter?" Shi Chen said softly.

"Huh?" Rem looked up at him with her head full of tears in her eyes.

"Sigh, you really are a little idiot." Shi Chen sighed and tapped her head.

"what?"

"Your sister's horn broke off. It was clearly a man-made disaster, not your fault. Why are you blaming yourself?"

"But I...had such a bad thought..."

"So what?" Shi Chen retorted.

"What...?" Rem's eyes widened, wondering if she had misheard.

"You were so young back then, your thinking was immature, and you were always overshadowed by your sister's talent. What's wrong with having extreme ideas?"

"That's my sister..."

"So, do you hate your sister?"

"No, I love my sister the most!" Rem immediately said seriously.

"Isn't that enough? It was just a fleeting bad thought. You didn't take any action, all you felt was the guilt from that thought, and you've been bound by it ever since, wanting to atone for it... What did you do wrong?"

"But because my sister lost a horn, I felt a sense of relief, even gloating..."

"What's wrong with that? Everyone has a dark side. There aren't many saints in the world, especially since you were so young back then. It's normal to have simple and direct thoughts, isn't it?"

“This is… wrong…” Rem shook her head, unwilling to accept the explanation from the time.

"Rem," Shichen called out in a deep voice, grabbing her shoulders and making her look at him.

"I..." Rem's eyes were red, and tears were streaming down her face, soaking her bath towel.

Why are you still so fixated on the past?

"Because Rem is always lacking in power. If my sister still had horns, she would definitely be better than me..."

"Stop! Here we go again."

"Well......?"

Shichen pinched Rem's cheek in annoyance: "Rem, whenever you talk about Ram, you try your best to praise her and belittle yourself. Have you ever thought that even if Ram and you were in different situations, would she really be as good as you?"

"My sister will definitely... um!"

Shi Chen forcefully pulled her face, interrupting her: "That's just your imagination, stemming from your childhood admiration for her. She's far inferior to you now. She can't cook, she can't do housework as well as you, she can't do anything as well as you. Maybe she's only good at managing the mansion... How can she compare to you?"

"Do not......"

Rem shook her head in protest, and Shichen released her face so she could speak.

"No, that's not it. The real older sister is even more formidable! If she had horns, she definitely wouldn't..."

“But Ram doesn’t have horns right now, and I don’t know any Ram with horns.”

Shichen stroked Rem's face, wiping away her tears. In her stunned gaze, he smiled and said, "The Ram I know now, in terms of cooking, sewing, cleaning, and figure, is no match for Rem."

"That's because..."

"Whether it has horns or not, you're probably the only one who would care, right?"

Shi Chen pressed his index finger against her lips: "You're just comparing her strengths with your own weaknesses, and then you're just negating yourself."

"I......"

"Now, you have things that Ram doesn't have, so think about that more. You're excellent, very hardworking, so cute, and your breasts are much bigger than Ram's."

"Chest, breasts..."

Rem instinctively raised her hand to cover her chest, her face slightly flushed: "W-why do you always bring this up?"

"Because even if Ram has horns, it couldn't possibly affect this aspect, right?"

"You...you're surprisingly lewd, aren't you?" Rem's face turned even redder.

"So you actually got lectured by Rem." Seeing that Rem was finally no longer bothered, Shichen laughed.

Ultimately, she was overthinking it. He knew that Ram herself didn't have much attachment or insistence on the Ghost Clan.

Ram even wanted to get rid of Rem's rigidity and stubbornness.

Preaching to someone and changing their thoughts and struggles is not easy; it requires time and continuous influence.

For Rem, who is still deeply troubled, the best way to offer temporary guidance is to start by talking about things that Ram doesn't have, so as to give her a little confidence.

Anything is fine with them; they're twins.

"Tokicho...you don't really like girls' breasts, do you?" Rem asked in a low, shy voice.

"No, that's not it. I just don't like Ram's breasts."

"Hmm... what does that mean?"

"I liked the person first, then I liked the breasts," Shi Chen explained frankly.

"Like the person first..."

“I’m so glad it’s Rem here now~” Toki said with a smile.

"I......"

Looking at Shichen's smiling face, Rem felt her heart pounding, a shy feeling rising within her, her cheeks burning. She turned her head away, trying to hide her expression: "Rem, Rem is just a substitute for my sister..."

"Don't say things like that. I don't like Ram. If I treated you like her while you were here, I would go crazy."

"My sister isn't bad either, is she?" Rem protested softly.

"No, no, no, in my eyes, she's completely different from Rem, okay?"

"..."

"Don't say you're a substitute, okay?" Shichen stroked Rem's face, making her turn back to look at him.

Her face was flushed and a little hot. Shi Chen rubbed her forehead, which was the corner of her head.
