The comments section all think I'm a really good person.

"...Ahara?" Koizumi Saki didn't immediately realize what had happened.

The crimson color stung her vision, making her panic.

...Did A-Yuan vomit blood?

When Kita Kirihara woke up in the morning, he was already aware of his body's further weakness through his increasingly blurred vision.

To be honest, such a rapid decline was not something she had anticipated.

A second before she coughed up blood, she felt a sharp, stabbing pain in her heart, as if something was gripping it tightly. Before she could react, she felt an itch in her lungs and throat.

Then, he coughed up blood.

The consciousness attached to this body became blurred, the shape of the bloodstains appeared double before his eyes, and the edges of his vision turned black, like a scene from an old movie.

Saki's voice quickly faded into the distance, and then...

...Kitagiri temporarily lost control of his body.

He lost consciousness.

The Silver Garden.

The characters who were taking a bath and having a team-building activity in the middle of the night suddenly received a call from Kita Kirihara that had been turned on again.

All the character cards realized that Kita Kirihara's current state was not quite right.

It wasn't inside the body; after the consciousness was separated from the body, it first transferred to other character cards in the Silver Garden.

"[Something's wrong with my body.]" Kita Kirihara said, his voice echoing in everyone's minds, carrying a faint, suppressed unease. "[I can't go back for now.]"

[What's going on?] Nana Ohba was very surprised. The [Shining] she had given Kita Kirihara to nourish his body should have been able to sustain him for a while, and he shouldn't have fainted immediately.

Could it be... excessive indulgence?

Some people speculated that this was the case.

[...That's not the reason!] Kita Kirihara was embarrassed and annoyed. How could she be that weak? And if that were confirmed, his image would become extremely precarious. [I can sense it's for another reason.]

That force that suddenly gripped his heart and instantly destroyed his body's defenses came from other ability users.

It is a curse-like ability that acts directly on Kita Kirihara's body through some medium, taking away a portion of Kita Kirihara's life force.

But the conditions for the curse to take effect are unknown.

The only person who could possess such abilities and have their eyes on Kita Kirihara... must be from the Association.

Sure enough, after a while, Nanoha Takamachi, who was working undercover in the association, sent back the relevant information: [This should be a curse placed by your blood relative.]

Nanoha Takamachi's voice sounded somewhat low, indicating that she was in a rather unpleasant mood.

It's unclear whether it was due to what happened that night, or because Kita Kiri Chiyo issued a pursuit order to her subordinates.

[First, they weakened your mobility with a curse, and then…] Nanoha Takamachi said, [I hear that the Rose House and the Executioner are already on their way. Quite an impressive force.]

【The Torturers】are a special operations group within the association used to clear obstacles and deter criminals. Most members use torture instruments as code names.

The Rose House is where experimental subjects like the Gray Camel reside. Stripped of their human identity through experiments and kept as biological weapons, entering there essentially means death on a human level.

Rose House is one of the common names for a morgue.

Even though Kita Kirihara was within the national university and had the protection of Koizumi Saki, Chise couldn't wait to begin the manhunt.

It's easy to imagine that Chise probably couldn't wait any longer for Kitagawa Yuko to act so slowly.

If he had a physical form now, Kita Kirihara's expression would definitely be quite gloomy.

What an impatient fellow.

It's probably about to die, so it's desperate and resorting to desperate measures?

Tsk.

It's quite reasonable that among the abilities accumulated through countless reincarnations over a thousand lifetimes, there would be the ability to directly curse blood relatives like Kita Kirihara.

Moreover, aside from his connection with the Silver Garden, Kita Kirihara's current body is actually nothing special, so it's reasonable that he would be caught off guard by such a curse.

But her only complaint was the awkward situation of being sent to the medical room the next second after being intimate with Saki one second.

Doesn't this make me look incredibly weak?!

That's right, that's what she cares about most.

Moreover, Kita Kirihara felt completely guilty about Koizumi Saki's concerns.

But upon deeper reflection, she realized that the curse upon her might not be as simple as just weakening her life force.

Koizumi Saki saw it more clearly than Kitakirihara.

After all, she is a [God's Name], and can see the sudden situation on Kita Kirihara's body.

Therefore, she knew that this was no ordinary curse.

[Sharing Life].

This is the true nature of the ability applied to Kita Kirihara.

It can link the lives of two people together through blood, allowing them to share a lifespan.

There is only one reason why Kita-Kirihara declined so rapidly:

The ability user's life is nearing its end, so he extends it by absorbing Kita Kirihara's life force.

Her face suddenly darkened, as if a storm was brewing.

Her steps became even more hurried as she headed toward the medical room where Ms. Toyota was.

“…cough…” Chise let out a short cough.

The heavy feeling that had been weighing on my lungs and heart has lessened considerably. Although my body still feels a bit weak, I feel much better now.

She coughed up a mouthful of dark blood.

not enough.

At this rate, although life can be prolonged, it will only last for less than half a month at most.

When the time comes, the other person will die along with you.

I never expected that Kita Kirihara would be more lively than me, but it turns out he only has this little bit of vitality left.

It looks perfectly healthy, but is it already riddled with holes?

We must make arrangements as soon as possible to fill in the gaps in our own [function/function].

Kita Kirihara would soon realize... she had to come to him and sever this connection.

Staying cooped up in that place will lead to death, Kita Kirihara.

165. The Demon of Mirror Flower and Water Moon

It's 10 o'clock! I can finally get in!

Why was yesterday's live stream ended so early? I arrived a little late and only saw a notification that the live stream hadn't started yet...

Hmph, you have no idea what a great thing you've missed!

[Damn it, why won't you let me watch Ahara Touyarou?]

【Holy crap, was yesterday really that exciting?】

[Hurry up and start it, I want to see Ahara and Koizumi's post-coital tenderness now!]

[Ten o'clock! Yay! Maybe those two are still in bed.]

[Waaaaaah, Mommy's A-Yuan is going to grow up... That's wonderful, I'm so happy!]

[Ah Yuan has finally tasted meat! This big dog will definitely become even more lecherous than before...hehe...]

Hehe... Master A Yuan... Super Blue, my pen...

[Dream Girl, get out of here!]

[One minute left! Ohhhhh, the live stream is starting!]

The viewers in the live chat were excitedly discussing what had happened yesterday, waiting in front of the live stream with excitement and anticipation for the tender moments between Kita Kirihara and Koizumi Saki.

Then, unexpectedly, I saw Kita Kirihara coughing up blood.

As expected, after a moment of surprise, the comments section erupted:

【No! Don't connect the knives so quickly!】

[The knife is coming!]

[Come on, can't you give the young couple some time to be affectionate? Why do you have to pull the trigger so quickly?]

【Ah Yuan... my Ah Yuan... hang in there!】

[Oh my god, I've been talking about wanting Koizumi Supermarket's Ahara every day, but don't go this far!]

[Koizumi, it's all your fault, you ruined Ahara's supermarket!]

[Damn, I was just trying to build up some serious emotions, and then I burst out laughing when I saw your comment! You owe me!]

[You're dead! It's all your fault, please!]

[The cause of death was excessive sexual activity, right?]

Joking aside, when Koizumi Saki noticed Kita Kirihara's problem and her expression suddenly darkened, the comments section immediately picked up on the key point:

This sharing of life... it feels like...

[It must have been Chise who did it; I remember she had that ability.]
