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

The more she thought about it, the more she realized that she didn't actually need to worry too much.

Now that the wish has been granted, Kita Kirihara, as the center of the wish, should still be quite safe.

During this time, she did not go crazy because of Kitagawa Yuko's disappearance, as Kitagawa Yuko had said, nor did she wallow in self-pity and drown her sorrows in alcohol after going into hiding... She was investigating something.

Saki Koizumi found many examples of people who "suddenly disappeared" on that day in the tower and the association, including Sayaka Miki, who was singing on stage and disappeared when she left.

Koizumi Saki had investigated most of the information inside the tower. Since she didn't have much of a connection within the association, she turned her attention to Miki Sayaka.

Then, she discovered Shiori Hachiya's existence.

My colleague, whom I thought had perished, was still jumping around on stage...

There must be something I don't know about this.

Saki Koizumi diligently searched for clues, piecing them together bit by bit, attempting to sketch the outline of the truth in her mind.

As her suspicions began to take shape, Saki Koizumi was brought into this mental world to help.

She immediately dropped what she was doing. After realizing that Kita Kirihara, whom she hadn't seen for a while, had summoned her, she didn't quite understand the situation. When she heard Kita Kirihara's instruction to "buy me some time," she subconsciously followed his orders.

She looked up and met the gaze of her other self.

Saki Koizumi: ...?

what?

Why is there another version of myself here?

She glanced around briefly and almost immediately realized that this was her home in a parallel world she had dreamed of.

This must be the spiritual world of that gloomy and extreme Unjust God. Ah Yuan didn't know why he got trapped here, so he called me over to help.

Saki Koizumi was filled with questions, and in order to get answers as soon as possible, she unleashed her true abilities and began to fight against her other self.

They even seem to be gaining the upper hand.

The two gods consciously avoided the location of Kita Kirihara during their battle, bursting through the wall and disappearing without a trace.

This naturally bought Kita Kirihara time to forcibly leave the instance world.

[Should I force exit the instance world?]

Kita Kirihara chose to confirm.

The next second, the fist of the Unjust God missed its target.

Before her, the younger version of Kita Kirihara and that inexplicable version of herself... had both vanished without a trace.

Before Koizumi Saki, the scenery suddenly changed.

She knew that she and A Yuan had left the mental world they had just been in.

...By the way, A-Yuan.

This time, it was A-Yuan who took the initiative to contact him.

She turned around with a little trepidation, wanting to ask Kita Kirihara where he had been all this time, but she was also afraid of being met with a cold look. However, there were some things in her heart that she had to say.

However, when she met those clear, dark red eyes and noticed the stark difference in height between them, her confusion was choked up again, leaving her speechless.

"...A Yuan?!"

Saki Koizumi's pupils trembled as she looked at her ten-year-old lover.

256. God's reputation suffers.

A ten-year-old child is generally between 1.3 and 1.4 meters tall, while Kita Kirihara, who is about 1.8 meters tall when fully grown, was actually considered short in this age group due to various reasons during his childhood.

That is roughly 1.3 meters.

It is known that Saki Koizumi is about 1.5 meters tall.

When she turned to look at Kita Kirihara, she instinctively looked up at a higher position.

But to my surprise, my gaze met nothing.

With her head slightly lowered, Koizumi Saki felt for the first time the effort Kita Kirihara had put into speaking to her.

...You should bow your head.

Saki Koizumi was taken aback.

She saw the child with snow-white, fluffy hair casting a wary look at her.

Because of her age, even if she looks wary and tense, she won't give off a strong sense of hostility.

Cute but fierce.

This word rarely comes into play with Kita Kirihara, whom Koizumi Saki knew, yet unexpectedly, she saw his past self under these circumstances.

...So cute.

It turns out that A-Yuan wasn't taller than other children when he was little, and it turns out that A-Yuan could also show such a forced and calm expression.

When Koizumi Saki first stood on the ground with Kita Kirihara, she could see the whorl of hair on Kita Kirihara's head even without using her ability to levitate.

She sensed the wariness and distance the toddler was showing towards her, but this distance didn't hurt her as it used to. Instead, it felt like a puppy with its baby teeth still growing in, slurping and leaving drool marks on her hand.

Oops.

But it doesn't seem that bad.

In some ways, it's simply wonderful.

As Koizumi Saki fell into thought, her expressionless face amplified Kita Kirihara's sense of crisis.

The child and her special staff were still in the transit space provided by the system. She needed to tilt her head slightly so that she could make eye contact with them.

The other person doesn't seem easy to get along with.

As for how Kita Kirihara figured it out... well, this guy has the exact same face as that dungeon boss, Unjust God Name!

Even if Kita Kirihara was slow-witted, he should have realized that this Koizumi Saki must be the "god's name" mentioned in the Mirror Tips.

After all, the names of the two characters, 【Injustice God's Name】 and 【God's Name】, suggest a close relationship. Now it seems they are essentially the same person, representing two opposing sides of the same coin.

Bei Qieyuan didn't know why "she" had signed a special employee contract with [God's Name], while having a different kind of cooperative relationship with [Unjust God's Name]. All she knew was that God's Name and Unjust God's Name were the same person.

Kita Kirihara, who lost a significant amount of his memory due to some of the extreme actions of the Unjust God, developed a somewhat negative impression of Koizumi Saki's face.

Specifically, whenever Saki Koizumi tried to get close to her, she would retreat with extreme vigilance, fearing that even her special employee might try to harm her.

At this moment, Kita Kirihara remembered what Homura Akemi had told him: be careful of the black-haired, blue-eyed, baby-faced girl.

Homura Akemi definitely wants to keep her away from Saki Koizumi!

...Now that I think about it, since there is a connection between Koizumi Saki and Fushigami, then the latter imprisoned living people in the basement and even laid hands on her...?

Kita Kirihara suddenly realized a major crisis in a certain area.

Her gaze towards Saki Koizumi instantly shifted from wary to that of someone looking at a scumbag.

The oblivious Koizumi Saki hadn't yet realized that her childish Ayane was another version of herself, who had labeled her a pedophile. She only felt that Kita Kirihara's gaze was becoming increasingly sharp.

It vaguely resembles some of the style that would come later.

...But why did Ahara dislike her?

Koizumi Saki was completely baffled and felt somewhat hurt.

She and Kita Kirihara had been staring at each other in this space for almost a minute, during which neither of them spoke.

It was Koizumi Saki who couldn't resist first. She wanted to reach out and smooth Kita Kirihara's slightly messy bangs, but he immediately dodged her.

She silently withdrew her hand.

"How...have you been lately?" Koizumi Saki softened her tone, her tone awkward and clumsy as she rarely tried to comfort people. Her eyes were filled with Kita Kirihara's image, and they were somewhat moist. "How did you become like this? How much of the past do you still remember?"

She actually wanted to ask Kita Kirihara if he remembered her, but the answer to that question was already written in Kita Kirihara's subconscious wary gestures towards her.

Ah Yuan probably doesn't remember anything now.

Saki Koizumi recognized it at first glance.

She made that wish, which brought about such a change in Kita Kirihara herself... Although it's hard to say whether it's good or bad, it's still worth it to see the energetic and immature Ahara.

Kita Kirihara wasn't born so composed and mature; he also went through such an awkward period. It was during this period that Kita Kirihara still harbored a pure and innocent heart.

Saki Koizumi didn't know how that wish was determined, and she was also surprised when she saw Kita Kirihara now.

To let Kita Kirihara be himself... is this what he's supposed to become?

To lose all memories, wipe away the negative influences of the past, and start anew?

Whether it was the pain and hatred etched into her bones, or the love or other emotions she finally learned after meeting Saki Koizumi... in short, it was all washed away, and she became like this.

Saki Koizumi didn't know why those old fogies thought that only those with pure bloodlines could be considered "pure children," but in her opinion, the now empty-blooded Ahara was even purer.

It seems like a good thing that you don't remember yourself.

Koizumi Saki felt a pang of sorrow.

She sighed slightly.

"..." Kita Kirihara was very cautious, and the child's voice was still a little soft, "You know me?"

"Of course I know you. We've known each other for a long time."

Kita Kirihara pondered for a moment, then put on a serious face and said, "I signed a contract with you, but that doesn't mean you're someone I know. Unless you can tell me more about me—like who I am."

Kita Kirihara wanted to get more information about his role from Koizumi Saki.

It's one thing for her to be able to contact the Silver Court employees and get that part of the information, but she also needs to know how she is perceived among the special employees.

After all, there is still an information gap between internal and external employees.

She doesn't know the past of her character, so she naturally has to be careful.

Koizumi Saki remained silent for a moment, a complex and profound emotion flashing in her eyes, before slowly speaking: "Your name is Kita Kirihara, you're a member of the Silver Garden, and also..."

She is also my lover.

Koizumi Saki naturally omitted this half-sentence. Saying such a thing in front of Ahara, whose physical age had regressed to ten years old, seemed like taking advantage of someone in distress and being a pervert.
