212. If she doesn't intend to take my 10K

While Homura Akemi and Nana Oba were confronting each other, Karen Aijo, along with Kita Kirihara, hid in the stage area she had temporarily created.

It's said that Aijo Karen opened it up, but in reality, her underground theater is connected to Nana Ohba's. After all, it would be too much trouble to open it up on your own, so it's better to use the underground theater that Nana Ohba had already built from the beginning.

During this time, Nana Ohba has been busy preparing for Shiori Hachiya and Sayaka Miki's first performance, and the students at the vocational high school have also started their street internships, so the underground theater has been empty for a while.

Karen Aijo, carrying Kita Kirihara in a freefall, crashed all the way down onto the giant polar bear set up on the stage.

The two people fell straight onto the white cushion, shaking out the dust hidden in the plush, which then swirled in the air.

Under the stage spotlight, the flowing dust was quite noticeable.

She frantically checked Kita Kirihara's physical condition; on the pristine white, enormous plush toy mat, Kita Kirihara's blood was glaringly obvious.

"Yuan Yuan, are you alright?" Ai Cheng Karen was very nervous. After all, Kita Kirihara's body had only just recovered to this point. If this body were damaged again, she would have to go back to using her original broken body.

Although it looks dilapidated now.

Kita Kirihara's forehead was cut by a stone, leaving a deep gash that looked likely to leave a scar. His eyelids were also scratched, forcing him to squint slightly. A clear ligature mark appeared on his neck, a result of Koizumi Saki's rough treatment of him earlier, where her collar had been tightly strangled, leaving such marks on his fair skin.

She was covered in dust and pebbles, unable to open her eyes, completely disoriented, and it seemed like she had been hit on the back of the head and was bleeding. Her head was spinning, and she probably had a concussion.

Kita Kirihara had barely recovered from the shock of almost being killed by Koizumi Saki. The concussion made her reaction very slow, and when she tried to get up, she found that the polar bear doll under her was too soft, so it was difficult to get any support.

She struggled to sit up, but her body protested with pain, and she didn't know how much she was injured.

Under the camera's sweeping view, Kita Kirihara wore a bewildered and helpless expression.

After a brief moment of disorientation, she finally realized who had saved her.

Looking at the familiar face of Ai Cheng Hua Lian, she widened her eyes in surprise: "Hua Lian?"

After all, in the eyes of the audience, Kita Kirihara and Aijo Karen in this state are just ordinary classmates, at most close classmates, so they are surprised that the other would save them without hesitation in such a life-or-death situation.

"How could you be here... Ugh." Kita Kirihara clutched his head and cried out in pain.

When I get emotional, I want to sit up, but I only belatedly realized the pain from my injuries.

The excitement from being watched by Saki Koizumi dissipated, and after the adrenaline wore off, pain swept over him.

Kita Kirihara looked around blankly: "...Where am I?"

She knew this was Nana Ohba's underground theater, but...

"Where's Saki? And the one who just saved me..." Kita Kirihara's thoughts were a bit confused. She grabbed Aijo Karen, wanting to know more details.

From her perspective, she had just been inexplicably attacked by her lover, and then Aijo Karen and her companions appeared and saved her.

Nana Ohba and another person she's never met are currently fighting Saki.

Why would Saki want to kill me?

Such confusion was written on Kita Kirihara's face.

The effect of this performance, as seen by the viewers watching the live stream, was even more impressive.

[Didn't A-Yuan realize something was wrong immediately...?]

[Actually, if it weren't for Ren-nii and Banana helping out, Ahara would probably have been killed by Saki immediately.]

Her first reaction would definitely not be to defy the chief...

[Belatedly realizing why her lover would do this to her... I don't know how to describe this reaction.]

[Was this a bit too much of a licking?]

[Actually, it's not really true, since flattery is usually one-sided, but these two are doing it both ways.]

[Furthermore, after the Chief's likes and dislikes were reversed, the first person she wanted to kill was A-Yuan, which can be seen as proof that A-Yuan was actually her favorite person.]

[Correction: It's not "like," it's "love."]

[...If Chief Koizumi really killed Ahara, would he regret it for the rest of his life?]

[Strange, now that you mention it...]

This is something we'll regret for the rest of our lives; we twisted monsters simply can't refuse it.

Aren't you guys going a bit too far...? Give me more, I love it!

To be honest, after the honest chief was turned around, it feels like he could participate in the bloody battle for the strange document.

[Heh heh, I'm just waiting for Koizumi to flip over and lock Ahara in the basement, then proceed to rape him in front of the BOSS!]

【? I'm super】

This is getting a bit strange.

Ah, the banana thing is almost finished too.

[Strange, Homura didn't seem to be making much of a move this time.]

Homura Akemi's power is indeed one of the Silver Garden's trump cards. If her true form were to descend, protecting Kita Kirihara from the mentally unstable Saki Koizumi would actually be a very simple matter.

But no matter what, Homura Akemi's true form has more important things to do.

As a clone of the character card, being able to open the Silver Garden for Kita Kirihara and assist her in doing certain things is already quite remarkable.

Homura Akemi's fight with Saki Koizumi would consume too much magic power, and even if Homura Akemi herself agreed, Kita Kirihara would be reluctant.

And it would also hurt Saki Koizumi.

Therefore, Kita Kirihara's instructions to Homura Akemi were merely to buy time so that he could escape.

Minimize energy consumption as much as possible to avoid wasting a large amount of the fuel earned during this period.

Kita Kirito himself escaped using the stage space of Aijo Karen.

However, Saki now...

Kita Kirihara vaguely confirmed that Koizumi Saki's attributes had been reversed, and also vaguely sensed that the other party had been strengthened.

Isn't there a saying that you get stronger after turning evil?

Once Saki Koizumi stops at nothing to hunt down Kita Kirihara, she completely lets go of the limitations she previously placed on her abilities, no longer caring about the world's fuel consumption...

Even if they hide on the stage or in the Silver Garden, they cannot escape Saki's pursuit.

Kita Kirihara was well aware of this.

Saki Koizumi has already located the Silver Garden, and as for the underground theater, brute force can be used to forcefully break in.

Because, in this world, Saki Koizumi's ability level is the highest.

If she wants to look for it, she can still find it.

No matter how hard Kita Kirihara tried to hide, he couldn't escape his notice.

Therefore, the only thing the Silver Court members can do right now is to buy some time for Kita Kirihara.

then……

Kita Kirihara already had a plan in mind.

If we exclude Homura Akemi, who cannot act freely, Kita Kirihara still has one character card that can stand up to Saki Koizumi.

She had initially thought that the character card was too dangerous for Koizumi Saki, but given the current situation, she could no longer hesitate.

She wouldn't mind being killed by Saki, but not at this time.

It was a bit hasty; she didn't like such a pointless death.

In Kita Kirihara's script, if the word "death" were applied to himself, it would be at the moment of his final curtain call.

She was indeed exhausted, but she didn't mind working hard for a while longer to prepare for the most dignified death.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to smoothly transition the plot, use his other character card, and after saving his life, find a way to awaken Saki's consciousness.

Kita Kirihara knew why Koizumi Saki had become the way she was now.

The [Flip] ability used by Saki Koizumi in number 109 should have completely lost its effectiveness after the user's death.

However, due to Chise's intervention, not only did the floating prison fall, but the ability that should have been invalidated due to the death of number 109 also became semi-permanent.

Unless Saki Koizumi herself overcomes the consciousness belonging to the name of the unjust god, or...

...Let the inner demons of the North cut through the truth.

Unlike his counterpart in another timeline, Kita Kirihara possessed the trump card of character card number 19275.

As a demon that conceptually counters the name of the god, the demon Kita Kirihara is capable of inflicting a special attack effect on Koizumi Saki.

So now I just need to find an excuse to make my current seventeen-year-old self offline.

For example, contact with the Silver Garden would be an excellent opportunity.

Normally, she doesn't have the opportunity to come into contact with the Silver Garden, since she needs to stay by Koizumi Saki's side all the time. Koizumi Saki keeps a close watch on the Silver Garden, preventing any suspicious people from getting close to Kita Kirihara.

After his face-to-face conversation with the Silver Garden Boss, he learned that the Boss still harbored designs on Kita Kirihara, which made him even more wary of the Silver Garden, fearing that Kita Kirihara would be lured away by the Silver Garden's members.

Now, it's clear that Koizumi Saki actively abandoned Kita Kirihara—even though it was in this frenzied state.

Kita Kirihara knew it was time to make a decision.

In order to advance the plan, I can't stay by Saki's side forever.

While Kita Kirihara and Aijo Karen were talking, judging from the camera and the comments from viewers, Koizumi Saki's battle ended very quickly.

Homura Akemi herself had no intention of fighting; she was simply standing there to keep the situation under control.

Nana Ohba also had no intention of going head-to-head with the current Kamiya.

Saki Koizumi herself showed little interest in the Silver Garden members outside of Kita Kirihara.

She only made a slight movement, as a form of intimidation.

However, when Nana Ohba returns to the stage, she doesn't seem as complete.

She returned alone; Hoshimi Junna, who had been with her, had disappeared.

His face was covered in blood, whether his own or someone else's, and he looked somewhat distressed.

"Should I say I'm thanking Miss Kamina for showing mercy..." she muttered to herself in response to Aijo Karen's concern.

Homura Akemi returned to the Silver Garden first, while she returned to the underground theater with a normal expression after losing a stage double.
